THINKS RESERv|STS
ARE PLAYING GAME

New York. August 1l.--Dr FaIcke,
German consul general in this city.
posted a big notice today TO the eff
feet that from now on registration of
reservists by mail will be compulsory.
During the last ten days thousands
of men from the Metropolitan dis
trict and from outs.oe cities have
presented themselves at the registra-
ton bureau and not few of them
have remained to plague the officials
with demands for food and sleeping
quarters 1t has been sugguested that
some of them have seen in the order
OF mobilization an excuse for coming
TO New York. well knowing that there
is no chance for their being sent to
Europe.
This will be stopped. Reservists
who are to return to the fatherland
may send their military papers TO the
consulate after their names and ad-
dresses are entered I'm Tha military
papers TO be returned. DR.. Falcke
thinks that Is pretty we'll un-
derstood by this time that no
transportation Is to be had
and that. therefore, those who
come TO register personally will not
be doing so with unmixed motives He
advises the men who have jobs to
keep them. and those who have not to
stay away from New York.

NEW HAVEN ACCEPTS
REORGANIZATION
RAILROAD AND COVE II n NJ f y T
REACH AGREEMENT FOR
ADJUDICATION OF SUIT.

Washington. Aug l1.-An agree
ment has been reached between the
government and the New Haven rail-
road for an Immediate adjudication OF
the antitrust suit against that big
system which was filed in the Capital
District court at New York the last
week In July.
The New Haven will accept all the
provisions of the reorganization
agreement perfected last January. the
latter rejection of which resulted in
the governments suit. The only inn
portant change in the January agree
ment concerns tho sale of the Boston
and Maine stock now owned by the
New Haven. Instead of the two years
and a half allowed in the original
agreement for the sale of this stock by
trustees, the New Haven has now
agreed to the cutting of this period
to one year.
Under the agreement which was an
nounced today the sale of the Boston
and Maine Is to be made within one
year by the same trustees who were
appointed under theA old agreement.
If at the end of that period the trus-
tees have made no sale, the matter Is
to be taken before the trial court.
which will order its sale, under con-
ditions to be fixed by il.
The agreement does not In any way
affect the decision of the department
of justice acting under instructions
from President Wilson to proceed
criminally against cretain directors of
the New Haven responsible for the
organization OF the alleged transporta-
ton monopoly. The criminal pro-
ceedings, 1t is learned on high au-
thority, will be. initiated before the
federal grand jury at New York with

United States Will
Protest Laying of
Mines In Open Sea

aced by the mines II It follows its
usual routes.
1t is doubted here whether the
United States can do more than file
formal protest against the placing of
mines in the open sea by the bel
ligerents, this protest to serve as a
basis for claim for damages after
the war in case an American vessel
Is destroyed by contact with mine.
The United States Is not In. n position
to ask Germany or Great Britain to
desist from laying mines In the open
sea or remove those already In place.
The Hague conventions forbid the
placing OF unanchored automatic con-
tact mines In any waters unless they
are so constructed as to become harm
less within one hour after they are
turned loose. 1t is not known
whether the mines laid by Germany
are floating or moored. but II Is pre-
sumed here that they are anchored,
and II Is also presumed that England
Will plant anchored mines.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE British
government today notified the United
States that, because of the laying of
contact mines in the open sea in the
North Sea by Germany 1t probably
will resort to the same measures In

warming to all American shipping was
brought to Secretary Bryan today by
ColviIie Barclay, charge daffaires of

The situation In regard to mines
having been thus officially brought to
the attention of the United States

has under consideration the question
of what action 1t will take IL any for
