DIR. LIEBKNECHT SHOT
FOR REFUSAL TO WAR?

LONDON, Aug 14.-The Daily Citi-
zen, organ of the Labor party, says
1t has learned from a reliable author
ity that DR.. Karl Liebknecht, the
German Socialist leader, has been
shot for refusing to do military SER
vice.
The Daily Citizen says that the
story was brought to London by a
German refugee, who reported that
Berlin, owing to the shortage of food,
was in virtual state of revolution.
DR.. Liebknecht was an officer of
the reserves and was called up for
service. He refused to respond on
conscientious ground, whereupon, ac-
cording to the story, a detachment of
soldiers was sent to his residence.
He was taken to the military bar
racks and court-martialed. After a
short trial he was convicted and shot
by a platoon of infantrymen.
1t is also reported that Rosa Lux
emburg, the noted Socialist writer,
who declared that soldiers were mall
treated in the army, has been shot.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht was born in
1871 and since his entry into politics

FIGHT AT L|EGE,
He AYERS, COST
GERMANS 5TO |
American Vioe-consul Duras Is
Quoted as Saying They Un-
derrated Belgian Prowess.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE German
army investing Liege underestimated
the fighting qualities of the Belgians,
and paid a terrible penalty for their
daring. is the opinion of Victor II.
Durae American vice-consul at Liege,
as quoted by the Brussels correspond
ent of the Times.
The correspondent says that Mr..
Duras was an eyewitness of the first
two days of the siege. which he de-
scribes. The Belgians permitted the
forces of General Won Emmich to
actually pass the forts in their march
on the town, and then attacked them
in the rear from the forts and on
their front with infantry. He estl
mated the German casualties as from
five to ten times as great as those Of
the defenders.
speaking as a neutral" says Mr..
Duras. acSording to the Times corre-
spondent, sit seems to be part OF
the new military tactics of the Ger
mans to fight as much as possible in
the night time. Comparatively little
fighting occurred at Liege during the
day.
1.-THE scheme of the Belgian defense
seemed to be not to make any serious
resistance to the attack until the
German troops were actually past the
forts. Then, when they were close up
to the town and their several bodies
trying to effect a juncture, fire was
opened upon them from the forts be-
hind and from rifles and machine
guns In front, so they were caught In
a trap and retreat was cut off. There
was nothing for them to do but to be
shot down or surrender.
1.-THE amount of suffering on both
sides owing to an inability to deal
promptly with the wounded was very
great, but especially to the Germans,
whose casualties were from flve to
ten times as numerous as those
among the Belgians.
1.-THE Germans paid terrible
penalty for the holiness of their
scheme of attack, which, from mill
tary point of view, could be justified
only by a conviction on the part of
the German officers that they would
meet with only the feeblest resistance.
The mistake they made was In under
rating the fighting qualities of the
peaceful Belgians"

as a Social-Democrat had been one

He was an uneompromising anti
militarist, and in 1907 was sentenced
to eighteen months Imprisonment for
high treason, the charge growing out
of a pamphlet he wrote attacking
militarism.
It was Liebknecht who last year in
the Reichstag charged that the
Krupp Company, manufacturers of
arms and ornaments, through an
agent, bribed army and navy officials
in order to obtain an insight into Of
fetal documents. He also charged
that the Krupps caused articles to be
printed in France advocating an in
crease in the French army in order
to bring about a warlike spirit in
Germany. All the officers accused by
Liebknecht were convicted by court
martial and given light sentences.
Last June Iiebknecht created an
other sensation in the Reichstag
when he charged that trafficking in
titles on a commission basis was car
ried on in Prussia and that certain
titles had been granted for money
considerations.

WAR PRICES BRING
| NEW YORK'S POOR
| NEAR STARVATION
Increased Cost of Food Puts 1t
Out of Range of Many
Families.

Special TO the Evening star.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE power
ty-stricken East Side today is ex-
periencing real danger Of starvation.
Food prices boosted, because Of the
real or fancied effect of the European
war, are cutting down the meals Of
thousands of families. Starving was
the exact word used by a Mulberry
street shopkeeper to describe the con-
dition of many of his customers. To
them a rise Of two cents in the cost
o. dried beans means no beans. They
can't pay 1t.
Today East Side bread loaves were
reduced one and one-half ounces In
weight. That small difference spells
tragedy for many East Side families.
A grocer on Grand street told Va
woman who supported an invalid
husband and baby on So week.
They used to live mostly on bread.
he said. "They never had meat. But
/ don't know how they'll make the
small loaves go around"
Just why the European war shouiu
affect the price of milk is not clear
yet East Side shops were charging
many babies in the crowded tene-
mems today whose cries were in
duced by the pangs of hunger. Their
parents couldn't afford the usual
amount of milk. A little eating place
on Columbia street raised the price of
meals from 2 to % cents today. An
observer noted that there We're
score or more who left when they saw
that rise of three cents. Either they
went hungry or they spent . cents
for less than a real meal.
A little knot of weeping women
crowded one Avenue A grocery today
hewailing the war and uttering MAJ
dictions in foreign gutturals against
those whom they said were trying to
make money out of it by charging
poor people more for their food.
II don't know what we'll do said
one woman. Il guess we'll just
starve."

Wilson Approves Registry
Bill in Its Present Shape


WASHINGTON. Aug. A.-Amend-
ments to the shipping law designed to
open American registry to foreign
ships in the European crisis as agreed
upon by House and Senate conferees
and up for final action in both houses
today have the approval of President
Wilson. White House officials said
today he would promptly sign the
bill.
The Senate spent hours today de-
batting amendments to the bill. The
amendment to permit their participa-
ton in coastwise trade was hotly con-
tested Senator Gallinger declaring
foreign interests had spent large sums
of money directly and by way of
advertising" to break down the
coastwise laws.
He declared the provision would be
a greater aid to Great Britain than
a great victory on a battlefield.

SCENE IN BERMUDA
Returning Newarkers Describe
Islands Preparations-Voy-
age Home Thrilling.

Miss Sallie Levi, of 70 Millington
avenue, and Miss Bessie Mendel, of
742 South Tenth street, have returned
from vacation trip to Bermuda.
They had but glimpse of the condi-
tions of war. but that glimpse was
enough. They left on the Bermudian
Wednesday, August 5, intending to
return within eight days.
When they arrived at the island,
they found it under martial law. No

garrison, and the strictest super
vision over the movements of tour
lists was. maintained by the military
authorities. The movements of the

Just enough money to tide them
over found themselves stranded with
out sufficient funds to pay for the
extra days they were compelled to
remain at the hotel.
Both Miss Levy and Miss Mendel
speak very highly of the courtesy
extended by the manager of the hotel
to the unfortunate ones. They were
kept as guests Of the hotel without
charge until the Caribbean. the Ber-
mudians sister ship, could sail for
New York on Tuesday.
On the trip back there were sew
eral thrills. The Caribbean sailed
with but one small light illuminating
the fore part of the deck. The rest
of the ship was in complete darkness
On one occasion, the ships surgeon
had a passenger in his cabin, and a
light burning. When the officer of
the deck came along and spied 1t the
light was ordered out immediately.
Every time anything afioat was
sighted, whether 1t was a tug, a
fishing smack or even a buoy, 1t be-

The two young women, like the rest
of the passengers, looked eagerly for

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE sugar
market showed further strength to-

refined sugar on basis of 7is cents

The advance was due to further
sharp rise yesterday in the market
