POLES FEEL HEAVY

Refugees Reach PetrOgrad
with Stories of Harsh

Tribune and London Standard
Petrograd, Sept. 24.-While news of
the actual progress of the Cars
armies in the field is received almost
entirely from official sources, the capi-
tai is buzzing with stories brought by
Polish and other refugees who have
felt the heavy hand of Prussia upon
them before they escaped into the in
terror.
One such fugitive from the Kaiser's
oppressive entry into Poland gives in
teresting details of the German occu-
patton of Czenstochau, a small town ln
Russian Poland, where he was held
practically a prisoner until week or
so ago.
According to this refugees narrative,
the inhabitants were very uneasy when
Russian troops and members of the
local administrative bodies left town,
but the gravest fear was entertained IN
the interval between the departure ~
-" Russian authorities and the ap-
pearance of the Prussians, as the pee
pie were afraid corrupt elements o.
the town would take advantage OF the
absence Of vigilant force and pillaGS
houses, although an urban militia was
organized Immediately before the Rus
sian troops left.
On the morning when the last rem
nants of the Russian military stationed
/ in the town evacuated il from the east
ern limits, after blowing up railway
bridges and military posts, the first
German contingent, consisting of Off
GERS and dragons of the 1lth Division,
entered from the west. The Germans
did not deliberate long before making
their appearance en- masse in Cen
stochau, and the first words that fell
from their lips werG, Of course, "WherC

refugee, but few days later we read

they had to deal with man who had
completely lost his head.

WAR RISKS GO UP
ON GERMAN RAIDS

Marine underwriters, cause OF the
activity Of the German commerce de-
stroyers in capturing and sinking mer-
chant vessels, particularly along the
coast of India, have raised insurance
rates to India and the Far East to >
per cent again. For time they were
quoted as low Is ~ per cent, although
at the beginning of the war some COM
panies charged Is or 70 per cent for
the war risk.
Insurance men have been disconcert-
ed with the absence of protection az
forded to commerce in the Bay Of
Bengal by the British government, the
supposition having been that such
raids as the recent one, which resulted
in the sinking of six vessels there, had
been made impossible.
The rate to South American ports
has likewise been advanced to per
cent, where in most cases il had been
only per cent or less. Here, too, it
was the activity of German cruisers
that brought about the increase.

Au appeal to the universities OF

i'm the present war has been sent out
bv Professor Ernst Haeckel and Pro
fcssor Rudolf Eucken, of Jena. 1t IS
dated August 81, and is in part as ioI-
lows:
We entertain the hope that the
.,tifc circles of America will not
.c credit to the libcls our enemies
popagate against us.
These libels, above all, accuse Ger
MANY of having brought about the war.
The truth points to the contrary. Our
foes have disturbed US in our peaceful
work. forcing the war upon US very
much against our desire.
Nobody but Russia is to blame for
The outbreak Of the war.
"France, too, might have kept the
npace. The security of Germany de-
manded that she should inquire what
France would do in the impending war;
the answer Of France Enthusiastically be-
trayed her intention to join in the war.
"Enqland stood in close relations TO
France. Undoubtedly the German in
vssion in Belgium served England as
a welcome preteNt TO openly declare
her hostility.
Germany feels unsnakably conscious
of serving a righteous cause and OF
standing up for the preservation OF her
national self, as well as for the sacred
good of humanity; indeed, for the very
nrogress of true culture. Nevertheless
The idea Of our American friends
thoughts and sympathies being with US
gives us strong feeling OF comfort.

IRy wireless to The Tribune.l

London, Sept. 25 "Thc Times" pub
fishes the narrative Of wireless opcr-
ator on the Crcssy, one Of the British
cruisers sunk in the North Sea by
German submarines. He says:

that the cruisers AboukiT and Hogue

the ship went down they were swept
away and the target somehow became
free. | got on to it and was rescued
by the trAwler CoTiandCr, of LOTestoft.

ing the waves with midshipman on
his back When they were brought
aboard the trdwler the midshipman
tried to find the sailor but the latter
did not show up. He was saved though,

"The Times" has now sufficient evil
dence to prove that the German Off
cial story of the attack being made
by one submarine is entirely wrong.
From accounts of survivors it seems
tolerably certain that one if not more
of the German submarines went to the
bottom.
1t is we'll known that the German
submarines have been working in flo
tillas Of six. If it is true that only
one returned to the harbor, as the
Germans say, then it may be concluded
that the five others were accounted for
by the guns Of the Crcssy.
