White Plains Man Tells of
Remarkable DemOnStra-
ton Off Cuxhaven.
COAST TOWN RAZED
TO MISLEAD ENEMY
Says Kaiser's People Even Have
Struck All English and
French from Menus.

London, Aug. 2O.-T. Frederick Lee,
Of White Plains, n. Y, has reached
London from Germany, via Holland,
with his wife, who was the daughter
of the late coffee king, George A.
Crossman. They have been motoring
III Europe for fourteen months. Mr..
Lee said:
ave we're at Baden when the trou-
bic started We motored TO Strass-
burg and throughout Alsace-Lorraine
and the French frontier so as to in
vestigate conditions. On July % we
saw Germans starting TO mobilize in
that section, where they were max
ing elaborate war preparations. We
motored through Manse the day war
was declared by England and went on
to Hamburg 10 catch the Imperator
We then learned Of the cancellation.
Once we were reported surrounded
By mines "a ticklish situation. We
were just of Cuxhaven when the re-
port that Germany had declared war
on England reached the German feet.
Then there was heard what the Ger
mans took for firing at sea. They
thought England's navy was attacking
Hellgoand and the entire German
high sea feet steamed by US, single
file, to sea. / counted thirteen first
class battleships, five or six cruisers.
a hospital ship, twenty-one torpedo
boats and a number of destroyers. IL
was an impressive sight as the sun
was going down. They were signal
ling with searchlights and figure rock
cts, as though they were going out 70
meet the British feet. We afterward
discovered that the supposed firing
was an exploding mine.
There was fine gray stone hospital
on Heiigoland. All the inmates were
taken out of the building, which then
was RACED to the ground. The town Of
Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe
River, has many fine churches, hotels
and other buildings. All were levelled
to the ground. Nothing over one story
high was allowed TO remain. II was
forbidden even 10 strike a match in the
city after dark. and every light had to
be eXtinguished The object was 20
disguise the outlines of the Elbe, so
as to prevent the enemy from finding
the mouth OF the river for the purpose
Of attacking Kiel and Hamburg.
"The Germans are very apprehensive
of the Russians invading Germany via
Westphalia. They think the English
will provide transports for the Russian
troops. | was told that the authorities
had provided all women with revolvers
to kill themselves in case the Cos
sacks got in. 1t was reported that the
Germans had taken practically all the
important towns of Holland, which all
