GERMANS TAKE TANNING
ISLAND CABLE STATION
Operator Able Only to Send Brief
Message Before Communica-
ton Was Cut.

VANCOUVER, B. c., September 10
Definite news has reached Vancouver
that the Germans have captured the
Tanning Island cable station. Whether
the men who landed on the island
Monday, September Z, We're from the
cruisers Nurnberg or Leipzig cannot be
definitely ascertained. Communication
was broken off SO suddenly with the
Vancouver Island end of the cable that
the flaming Island operator was able
only to send a message that armed
men in uniform had landed, and had
entered the superintendent Office.
Here the message stopped abruptly,
and the cable has been silent ever
since.
Presumably the Germans Immediately
cut the cable at the shore end and took
off the coal and supplies that are
maintained OH the island for the use
of the cable operators.
Whether they took the operators as
prisoners of war is also unknown. 1t
is understood that the British admi-
rally are taking prompt steps to restore
communication with Australia and
New Zealand. Meanwhile business from
Great Britain and elsewhere is being
dispatched by the eastern route
through Persia, Farther India and by
the transcontinental telegraph across
Australia.

STREET PAVING MEASURE
ATTACKED BY CITIZENS
Midcity Association Opposes Bor-
land Amendment Assessing
Auditing Property Owners.

Characterizing as an imposition and an
injustice the Borland amendment Of the
District appropriation act requiring abut-
ting property owners to bear one-half
the cost of street paving, the Midcity
Citizens Association last night adopted
a resolution protesting against this
legislation and petitioning Congress to
repeal it. The resolution was ordered
sent to the Federation of Citizens Asso-
citation.
Incidentally, the members last night
expressed a determination to push their
propaganda before Congress this winter
for the paving of 7th street with asphalt
from New York avenue north to Florida
avenue. 1t was the consensus Of opinion
that the fight had been stopped too soon
last year, and that if it had been con-
tinued the It'll street paving would now
be under way.
Opposition to the so-called ALLEY bilp'
was also voiced last night by the adop-
ton Of a resolution offered by Charles
s. Shreve. The construction of these
alley houses, it was declared, saved the
District a great amount of money in the
opening of streets and made it possible
to make use of the inside areas of large
squares. The resolution stated that il
was taking private property for public
use without paying the owners, and that
the entire District should pay the own
ers the structural value of the buildings.
This resolution also was sent to the fed
Grafton for action.
The following new members were elect

BRITON DEMANDS PROOF
OF GERMAN ATROCITIES
Lord selborne Suggests Inquiry by
commission of American and
Dutch Judges.

LONDON, September 15.-Lord Sell
borne, former high commissioner in
South Africa, in a letter to the Times
calls attention to the several reports
of German atrocities. He says:
Permit me to say that such state
ments cannot possibly be allowed to
rest on anonymous authority. The
civilized world has Il right to demand
names and full particulars.
Either these statements are true or
untrue. If untrue the Times would
surely regret deeply having given
them publicity and would feel that our
righteous cause was grievously injured
by such a libel on the German army.
If true, God and man will judge.
would it not be possible for trained
judges belonging to a neutral nation
like the Netherlands or the United
States to conduct q sworn inquiry into
such cases as are already open"

German Tells of Battle,

tiers in the field. as received at Rotter-
dam from Berlin, says:
Toward the end of August the
French endeavored to arrest the adj
vance Of the German troops through
Belgium by attacking their forces at
Epernay and on the German left wing
at Metz and Saarburg. In these attacks
the losses of the French and British
were very heavy.
THE German right wing, composed
of three corps. then attempted 20 out
flank the allies by movement to the
left past Amiens. which movement was
successful and led to rapid advance
on Paris.
"Since September 5 there have been
heavy engagements in many places. An

and the department of the Aisne was
successfully withstood by Field Mar

LONDON, September 1o.-Describins
the fight Of the Belgians during the
German advance, a correspondent of the
Associated Press who recently arrived
here from Belgium says that the
refugees scattered like autumn leaves
before the wind. Unaware Of the ma
neuvers Of the opposing forces, some fed
directly toward the scenes of the en-
eaeements. Others whirled aimlessly in
circles.
Many travelled in dilapidated wagons
drawn by horses too old or otherwise
unfit for military service. A great ma
jority, however, walked, discarding aft
er a little even their handbags. AS a
rule they wore their best clothes, as
fresh linen and creaking boots re-
vealed. They appeared to treat their es-
cape as ceremony that demanded the
best showing possible.

man who had walked all the way from
Charleroi in one day, carrying small

began he hid with his boy in the cellar

at the troops by Belgian civilians.
