life. 1t must be borne in mind further
that whatever wrong is committed in
invading neutral territory. is coinmtted
against the neutral and not against
the belligerent power. and England
which has more loudly proclaimed the
crime against neutral Belgium, should
be the last nation on earth tp make
such claim when it is recollected that
she and japan have violated and are
violating the rights of neutral china
and are invading its territory. The
fact that the wrong in that case is per
petrated against a yellow race does not
affect the ethics of the case and even
the fact that Germany first set the ex-
ample does in no sense les sen the
wrong against the neutral power.
After giving the matter the most care
full consideration, it seems to me that
there are two factors that are in the
main responsible for the present war.
In the first place the assasSinat ton of
the crown prince and the crown prin
cess of Austria: 1t was one of those
events that generally results in the
gravest consequences and no matter
who was responsible the passions
aroused by such an affair are hard to
quell and it merely illustrates how the
crime of an individual may sometimes
cause a war of nations. The second
cause was undoubtedly the mpbiliza-
ton of Russia In the foregoing I
have stated the facts as | understand
them. 1t will remain for the historian
in years to come to give a true history
of the causes and the progress of this
war. It does seem that it was an I'M
necessary act of cruelty for England
to cut the cable communication be-
tween this country and Germany and
leave the thousands and thousands OF
German American citizens WHIP per-
haps may have some near arid dear
relative fighting upon the battlefield in
uncertainty whether they are lying
dead or wounded upon the battlefield.
Who is there that does not deeply de-
plore the horrors OF this battle. Thou

injuries. One girl was thrown clear
of the bridge railing on the railroad
tracks forty feet below. She fell di-

GREAT SEAF|GHT
sT0RYIN LETTER
TO NEWARK MAN
Douglass G. Barrett Receives
Missive from Nephew, a Lieu
tenant in British Navy.

An eight-hour sea battle. in which
three German cruisers and two de-
stroyers were sunk off Heligoland on
August 30. is described In a letter re-
ceived by Douglas G. Barrett, of 175
Ogden street, from his nephew, Lieu
tenant j. st. Erme Cardew. of the
British navy. The letter, in part is
as follows:
"One morning we we're on patrol
of smoke on the horizon. ] told the
captain. but this sort of thing was
quite common, and he did not take
much notice. Soon noticed two
masts and then four tunnels. Know
ing that none of our cruisers were
about, | was satisfied what the ship
was and I sent down to the captain
again. This brought him up at once.
Sure enough, the stranger turned
toward us. Now, you understand
what a destroyer is, and that she is
not built to fight big ships in the day
time. So you will not dub us cow
ards when / tell you we ran. At the
same time she fired at us, and then
ensued my first experience under fire.
We fired at her, of course, and
think we hit her, and soon were out
of range.
Now, | will leave out all our
movements and take you over to He'll
goland. On the morning of the 28th,
shortly after daylight (on misty but
otherwise calm morning, German
destroyer was sighted. We chased
this destroyer and soon found her to
be closing on other German Destroy
ers. A fight at long range ensued.
Whilst in the midst of this exhilorating
sport through the mist apparel q
German cruiser Our destroyers had
to change their tactics. Headed by
our fiotilla cruiser we attacked the
cruiser.
From our position we were the
rear division of boats. In the middle
of this action we sighted another
German destroyer, trying to get into
Heligoland This was our prey, and
so four of our boats (our destroyer
being one) chased her. She tried TO
run away, but well-placed shot
brought her speed down, and we soon
had her in splendid range The Ger
mans fought splendidly, but we ham,
mered her in no time.
II shall never forget this, the first
ship / have ever seen sunk by gun
fire 1t was a terrible sight. Shell
after shell was blowing her to pieces;
she was enyeloped in a dense cloud OF
smoke and red tongues or flre licking
the huh, and yet one or two men could
be seen standing on her deck: soon
she was merely blackened null, very
nearly under water, and 1t was obVt-
Gus she had sailed her last voyage.

London Daily Chronicle) Henry w.
Diederich, United States consul at
Antwerp. escaped with his family
from the city yesterday by motor car.
The following is his account of the
bombardment:
For days we heard the sound OF
heavy gun fire, and were told of the
fall, one after another, of the outer
forts. It soon became apparent that
nothing could avail against the
great German cannon, and In con-
junction with other neutrals we en-
deavored to mediate with the Ger
mans to spare at any rate some OF
the most valuable buildings of world
wide interest, but the negotiations
failed to lead to a successful result.
'I had Intended to remain in Ant
werp throughout the bombardment,
which we saw was inevitable. I was
told to clear out of the city, as it's
destruction was inevitable, but did
not realize until almost too late the
horror which was coming.
AT II o'clock at night we were
going to bed when we were reused
by frightful noises In the air re-
minding US of the previous visits OF
the zeppelins Soon we realized that
the bombardment had commenced,
and then 1 had the most horrible ex-
perience of my whole life. I went
with my family to the basement. and
we crouched there all night, shells
falling every few minutes. They came
with dreadful whistling sound, fol-
lowed by a thunderclap and the coll
lapse of some buildings.

board of the nets. running miles off
shore, which scoop up thousands of
tons of fish at all seasons of the year.
Already substantial progress has
been made, for the war department
at Washington has ordered the re-

tend beyond the three-mile limit Of

LONDON, Oct 10. 1880 a. m.-Ant-
werp, the last and the strongest cita :
del of Belgium, has fallen before the
rain of huge shells which the Ger
mans began throwing into the city at
midnight of last Wednesday. The
civilian population of the city has in
large part fled, the seat of the Bel
gian government has been moved to
Ostend and the Germans are in occu-
patton.
Because of the chaotic conditions
during the past few days in the be-
leaguered city, and the interruption
or telegraphic communica tion. there
has been much delay in the transmits
sion of news from Antwerp to Eng
land. Nevertheless England has
been expecting and discounting the
fall of the Belgian positon, ana
newspapers are speculating on what
strategic use the Germans will make
of 1t, now that it is In their hands
The battle line in France is now
SO long-forming as it does a rough
curve of $50 miles-from Lorraine to
the Belgian frontier-that the battle
of fre Aisne apd the operations be-
tore Arf9 arp had become so closely
fnit as to be from the military point
of view inseparable.
Allies Are ForesfaIIed.
The hope of the, allies to deliver a
crushing blow against theF German
army in France before the occupa-
ton of Antwerp by the enemy is now,
of course, a thing of the past Ehe

100 miles south of the northern ex-

opposing bodies of cavalry were
clashing almost within sight of the
North Sea.
With Antwerp taken. the Germans
will now be able to detach the con-
siderable force used during the siege
of the city and transfer these men
to their right wing, near the French
Belgian frontier which has been
sorely pressed.
The moral effect of the fall of Ant
werp is not minimized in England.
The city was called by Napoleon, "A
pistol pointing at the heart of Eng
land" The seaport long has been
one of the greatest of Europe, re-
sembling in a sense Liverpool and

no fewer than 100000 Germans In

fetal announcement was given out in
Paris this afternoon:
"The fighting continues under salts

front has been maintained in spite
of violent attacks of the enemy at
several points.
On our left wing, in the region in
cluded between La Bassee, sArrnen-
there's and Cassel, the fighting be-

has been confused because of the ma
