PLAN OF GERMANS
PUZZLE TO ALLIES
Difficult to Say Whether
Right Is to Retreat or
Make Stand.
IBy Wireless from noulogncl

London, Sept. 1s.-The position OF
the contending armies was stationary
to-day. The forcing of the Germans
out of their strong defensive position
is a question of time and endurance.
The French and British have the ad-
vantage of an excellent position from
the point Of view Of getting reinforce
ments by rail.
1t still is difficult to say whether the
German right, as it lies, is fighting
stubborn rear-guard action on the re-
treat, or if it intends to hold its pres
ent lines. The region north of the
German lines is the region of vague
sklrmishing, somewhat similar to that
existing in northern Flanders. The
Germans are occupying the towns and
villages near the front with small pa
trolls or armored cars.
The Germans, on the whole, are con-
tracing their web. Lille is free, and
either army may use il. The Cambria
neighbOrhood is, of course, still Ger
man. On the line of their communities
tons the country is absolutely peaceful
for the moment, and there is nothing 10
do but await the Issue of long strug-
gle on the Aisne. OF the greatest vaiIe
would be the success Of the French IN
penetrating the line on the east against
the German centre or left.
Another success on the allies left,
valuable as it would be, would only
force back Generals Won Kluck and Won
Buelow, aceelerating their retreat upon
a new position on the frontier without
seriously defeating the combined arm
les. A success on the allies right would
imperil the Germans whole line and
cut of their right wing.

CRUISER CAPTURES
GERMAN RESERVISTS

The Dutch steamship Commewijne,
in the service of the Trinidad Line,
was stopped Off Sandy Hook yesterday
by the British cruiser Lancaster, and
twenty-five German reservists were
taken off.
When the merchantmen was about
seven miles southeast Of Scotland
Lightship the Lancaster sent up sig
nal asking her to stop. Meanwhile the
cruiser steamed up closer and sent out
small boat with officers and men.
When the boat got alongside the senior
officer greeted the Dutch skipper, en-
pressed his regrets for stopping him.
and asked to have all aboard brought
up on deck for examination.
After asking the crew and passen,
gers of the Commewijne a variety OF
questions the British officer arrested
twenty-five Germans. Six other Ger
mans, who showed their first United
States citizenship papers, were per-
mitted to remain on the vessel and
come into port. Then on signal from
the merchantmen another small boat
came out from the Lancaster and took
the Germans away. They will perhaps
be transferred to some outbound Brit
ish steamship or landed in Halifax or
Bermuda.
Practically all the prisoners were
employees from the steamships Al
bingia, Mecklenberg and Virginia, Of
the Hamburg-American Line, now tied
up in neutral ports in the Caribbean.
They had booked passage on the Com
mewijne in the hope Of getting back to
Germany from New York.

ASOUITH POURS
SCORN ON KAISER
Says Germany Is Having a
Rude Awakening from
Fantastic Dream.

London, Sept. 18.-One Of the roots
of the present war was the grave and
serious miscalculation regarding the
British Empire that German culture
and German spirit led Emperor Will
lam and the German people into, said
Premier Asquith, in addressing re-
cruiting meeting at Edinburgh, Scot
land, tonight.
1.-THE Germans were led into the mis-
calculation" he said, that the British
colonies wanted to cut connections with
the mother country and that India was
in revolt. What fantastic dream and
what rude awakening!" exclaimed the
Premier.
at has been proved that Germany
by her own deliberate act made the
war;" Mr.. Asquith continued, adding
that Germany has made no attempt to
controvert that fact except by the cir
culation of wanton falsehoods.
at is to the interest not only of
the British Empire but of civilization y
the speaker declared. that the AFRO
CANT claim of single power to DOM

Europe should be resisted"

But Not Before They Had
Quilted Famous Old
Hotel de Vile.
BELGIANS EXPECT
THEM TO RETURN
Correspondent Says Kaiser's
Men Garry Sticks to Set
Buildings on Fire.

London, Sept. 19.-"The Daily Chron-
icle" to-day prints the following dis
patch from it's correspondent at Ghent:
The German attack on Termonde has
been repulsed, bat the enemy received
reinforcements Of infantry and artil-
lery, and so hapless Termonde is In
danger Of suffering the horrors OF
fresh bombardment.
IL made a tour of the ruined city to-
day, after the Germans had been driy-
en- out. The bombardment of the last
few days has completed the terrible
work of destruction which the incend-
diary torch of the invader began o
fortnight ago.
"The magnificent Hotel De Vile, dat
ing from the fifteenth century, has now
shared the common fate. The belfry
tower of the Hotel de Vile has col
lapsed, and four of the bells, which fol
centuries have been the heralds OF
glad or sad tidings for the good citi-
zens Of the quaint old town on the
banks Of the Scheldt, have sounded
their last note. The Hotel de Vile IS
Quilted inside and out. Everything OF
artistic and historic value has been
swallowed up min the general ruin.
The Gothic church, with its tapering
spire, landmark for miles around, has
also suffered. The enemy dragged ma
chine guns on to the wide platforms OF
the church tower and opened a brisk
fire OIL the Belgians, who were in
trenched on the right bank Of the river.
The Belgians brought field guns to
bear on the church tower, which was
repeatedly struck by shells. The Ger
man guns were put out of action.
The destruction of the Hotel de vile
seems to be another of the many wan
ton outrages committed by the uni
formed soldiers of the Kaiser. 1t
could hardly have been more thorough.
A number of inhabitants and soldiers
whom | questioned affirmed that one
of the last acts of the beaten enemy,
previous to retirement, was to set f1re
to the Hotel de Willie.
Every soldier, as Napoleon metaphor
ically said carries marshal,s baton
in his knapsack. The knapsack equip
ment of the soldiers of the potentate
who loved to be called the modern Ma
poleon includes bundles of fire sticks
for igniting dwelling houses and public
buildings on the line of march through
Belgium. Termonde to-day is an OBJ
iect lesson of the horrors of war when
wagcd by barbarian hands.
