War Expert Declares Plan Apparently Followed by Kaises
Generals of Those Brilliant Strategic coups Which
Posterity Adnires or Ridcues According 70 Outcome

The Germans have not, as far as
Indications go. divided the allies. The
German forces probably win not fol-
low up their advantages in the
north. There seems nothing for them
to gain by making that detour. They
must plant a sufficient army in front
of Antwerp TO keep its garrison lock
ed up; hut the main purpose of their
advance Is to get into France.
IL is briefly suggested in a Paris
dispatch that if the Germans have
selected a northern circling route the
plans OF the allies would have to be
rearranged. The possibility of dis
concerning the enemy may have out
weighed with the German general
staff the danger of following the
course of the Scheldt into France
with Antwerp's great Notifications
threatening first the German flank
and then It's rear. If so the strategy
involved will be one of these daring
strokes Of wartime which are de-
seribed afterward as the work of q
genius If they succeed or the work
OF fool if they fail

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Fhe German
occupation OF Brussels possesses far
more political than military advan-
tage for the kaiser's cause. At pres
ent its possession is strategically IN
important, but if Germany holds the
Belgian capital when the war ends
she win possess a strong card at the
conference which will assemble to
draw up terms of peace.
The possibility Of Brussels as a bar
gain is very great
Brussels will have some Importance
as a railway and commissariat cen
ire for the German army, but IT Is
a community hostile to the invaders
and that lessons its influence.
The strategy of the allies in ADAM
doning Brussels, predicted in this col
umn a FORTNIGHT ago, is admirable
from an economic as well as mil
itary point of view The destruction
of the city by bombardment has been
averted and the most terrible Of the
consequences of war are averted by
its inhabitants.
The Belgian army retiring from
Antwerp is probably under instrue-
tons TO enter the great armed city
on the Scheldt for garrison duty. To
perform this work it is confidently
believed it will detach itself from
the main army. The dispatches make
no mention of the French or Engllsn
serving with the Belgians in the
north. 1t is practically certain they
are to the south with other detach-
ments of the Belgian field army

SAYS WAR WILL
PREVENT SALE
OF CITY BONDS
Parmly Tells Works Board
Brokers Now Ask Interest
Higher Than Legal Rate.

That the European war will halt
the sale of city bonds was made
known yesterday by Comptroller Ty-
Ter Parmly. in a letter to the Board of
Works. The comptroller said the in
terest rate fixed by law makes it i'm
possible to float the bonds at this
time. as the brokers are asking Z per
cent. Five per cent is the maximum
legal rate.
The Significance of the announce
ment is that for some time to come
no new paving jobs can be under
taken by the board. AS the assess
ments on new jobs stretch over
period Of five years. while contractors
are being paid as the work progresses,
the city fills the gap by temporary
loan bonds.
Against the vote of Commissioner
Gillen. chairman of the street de-
partment, the board reinstated James
Z. Dove as foreman at $1,000 a year.
As the reason for his objection. Com
missioner Gillen stated that while
he so far was neutral on the appoint
snent he had not been consulted and
would have TO vote without proper
consideration OF the needs of his de-
partment. Dove was laid off in jan
uary. 1913. when the force was cur
tailed for economical reasons.
John Coiegarry. formerly meter in
speetor. was also reinstated at SIS a
week. William II. Bordman was tenn
porarily appointed as assistant en-
eineer in the water department at
soon a MONTH He will be employed
until October 81.
To avoid the blocking of Mulberry
street between Market and Centre
streets the board passed on final
reading an amendment to Chapter
$50 of the revised ordinances of 1913.
Vehicles of any description uQder this
amendment must not stand in one
place for more than fifteen minutes.
Henry J. Lohse, representing the
Essex Trades Council, read the board
the law on the eight-hour day statute,
which he had charged at former
meeting was being violated by the
contractors paving Broad street and
Springfield avenue. A representative
of the Newark Paving Company ex-
planned that his men were being paid
overtime. Upon this assertion Mr..
Lahse pointed out that the law per-
mftted the longer hours only where
the possible danger to life and prop
erty made it necessary. The matter
viii be taken up by the engineering
department for further investigation
Following a recent communication,
the Central Railroad filed a formal
protest against the present line of the
proposed Haynes avenue. The rail
road contends that the present line
would create an extra grade cross
ing.
Bids for paving Ferry street and
also for the new stables of the board
to be located at Elizabeth avenue will
be received on September 10. The
chief engineer was authorized to call
for bids on the paving of Avenue l.

street.

American Mules Barred
from the European War

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Aug. 21.-The
American mule has been barred from
the great European war. This news
was received in Memphis by officials
of the great horse and mule market
system here. The neutrality laws.
coupled with the fact that the nations
in conflict have declared mules con-
traband. have caused buyers for
France, Germany and England to
cease activity.
Memphis sprang into fame as a
mule market during the Boer war,
when England discovered that the
cottonfield mule was admirably
adapted to artillery and pack train
work.
