RUMOR PERSISTS
! THAT VATERLAND
WILL RUSH AWAY
BIG German Liner Held in Read
mess to Sail With 1000
.Reservists.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Ham
burg-American liner Vaterland, big
gest ship afioat, is making ready to
slip out and run the gauntlet OF Brit
ish and French cruisers off the New
York coast, in a desperate attempt to
reach Germany. This was the belief
here today. due to extraordinary
preparations at the vessels dock, the
installation of special guards to pre-
vent visitors on the dock and the
knowledge that Germany needs the
1000 reservists now waiting in New
York for transportation back home.
The Hamburg American fatty denied
that the vessel would sail. The liner
kept steam up all day.
She is a German reserve vessel and
needed in the service as a supply and
transport auxiliary. 1t was believed
that the Hamburg American liner
was purposely denying that the yes
sci would sail, hoping that she could
hurry out of the harbor before YES
sells OF a hostile nation could be ap-
prised of her intention to leave.

SIGN ORDINANCE
AGAIN DISCUSSED
Dealers Protest Against Change
in Size and Placement
Rule.

Another hearing on the new sign
ordinance was held last night before
the construction committee of the
Common Council The ordinance
will be presented to the council on
Friday evening for its second read
ing. Protests We're heard from sew
eral business men. Many who are
engaged in the making of signs pro-
tested against the proposed change
in size and placement of street
signs.
Superintendent of Buildings Will
liam P. O'Rourke presented data of
ordinances in effect in other cities
and explained that figures in the pro-
posed ordinance were obtained from
experts of the City Planning Com
mission, which had made special
study Of the sign question.
1t was suggested by Alderman John
Faiss that fixed number of feet be
allowed for all signs. This point will
be taken up by Superintendent
O'Rourke with the law department
and the City Planning Commission.
Mr. O'Rourke declared that certain
of the signs at the theatres were
many feet over the building line but
were not attached to the building
proper, This violation, as ii would be
when the new ordinance goes into eff
feet, would be a point for the law
department to settle.
Permission was denied the firm of
Wilderman & Schorr to erect
six-family frame building near the
southwest corner of Ridgewood and
Avon avenues. Mr.. O'Rourke ex-
planned that last December plans
were certified to by the department
for the erection of a six-family frame
structure at the corner and a three
family frame to adjoin this me
buildings were not erected at the
time.
Recently the firm started to erect
the building and instead of a three
family frame structure 1t was de-
cided to build second six-story
! frame. This war objected to in that
the section is now within the fire
limits. Chairman Avitus j. Dough-
erty declared that the action OF the
superintendent should be sustained
Mr.. O'Rourke then told the committee
| that he was considering the affair
when someone Of the firm or close to
them suggested to him that the af-
fair might be put through for a
cash consideration. When this was
done he said he Immediately frowned
on the entire plan and would no
longer give his sanction to it's cree
ton.

BELGIUM'S RESISTANCE
MARS GERMAN PROGRAM

had to guess quickly who would win
and they have guessed against Ger
many.
Great Britain's entrance into the
war means not only the enormous
advantage of the antiGerman coali-
ton of the British navy, but also the
help of British gold. The British
navy probably will bring the war to
far quicker end than if King
Georges battle fleets were neutral.
But if Germany's power of resistance
is too strong British gold will play
preponderating part in bringing
Europe through a long campaign, as
it did during the Napoleonic wars.
Skirmishing near Belfort indicates
a way is being sought by the Kali
ser's forces to move into France
around the southern end of Frances
famous Alsace-Lorraine defenses. If
Germany can get through she will
have armies aiming at Parasitic
northern army by way of Belgium
and the southern army skirting
Switzerland in the Belfort district
France has anticipated this double
move. Her two principal concen-
trating centres are behind Belfort
and back of the Belgian frontier.

a fleet of dirigibles.
Germany plans to help her sea
forces from the air and will try to
blow British warships out of the
water by raining high explosives.
French warships are also reported
in the channel and in the North Sea.
Presumably they have already effect
ed a junction with their British allies.
The news of the initial forces in the
Mediterranean when German cruiser
was sunk and two warships captured
is expected to stimulate the French to
take risks.
Many German merchantmen have
been taken as prizes in British har-
bors.
German Dragons. who attacked at
Meurthe ct Moselle, were trapped by
French infantry and defeated, losing
fifty killed and wounded.

Special to the Evening star.
JERSEY CITY, Aug. 5.-The few
loyal Democrats who still make 1t a
custom to visit the rooms of the
Hudson County Democratic Club, on
Mercer street, formerly the Robert
Davis Association. were startled
few nights ago when, after several
attempts, no electric light could be
secured to brighten up the rooms for
the usual evenings game of cards.
One of the real inquisitive members
went even further, and, calling up
the office of the Public Service Cor
poration, was informed that the cleo
trio supply had been turned off

paid Now, when the members want
to play cards, they repair to the din
ing-room, where there is a big gas
JET to supply the light
Few Nightly Visitors.
There are not more than half
score of members who pay nightly
visits to the one time bulwark of
Democracy. The Wittpenn faction
ignores the club entirely, while the
ants show little desire to help sup
port the organization, 1t is said.
Within short time after the death
of Robert Davis a movement was
started to change the name of the
organization This met with some
opposition, but the change finally
took place, and about three years
ago the title of Hudson County
Democratic Club was adopted, with
Sheriff N. Peter Wedin as president
In the days of the Davis leader
ship the dining-room of the club was
well-known rendezvous for the
henchmen of the sturdy old leader.
1t was here that states were made or
broken for well-nigh fifteen years.
1t was in this room that Davis was
wont to deliver his messages to the
faithful throughout the county and
1t was in this room that the needy
came for their charity.
When Wedin assumed the reins Of
the presidency he predicted that the
prosperity of the club dining-room
would continue, but this did not fol-
low. The faithful dropped off one
by one until it was necessary to close
down the regular dining-room and
dispense with the services of the
high-class steward employed there.
The climax came recently when the
electric light was turned off.
Another point that shows that the
interest in the club is on the wane
is that the fact that this year there
will be no outing of the organization,
and this will be the first time in the
history of the club that the big event
was overlooked. Last year, the club
went to Pleasure Bay, and the af-
fair came near ending in riot be-
| fore the clambake could be served.
1t is not due to any poor state OF
finances that the electric light bills
of the club have not been paid, for
| the organization is known to be In
/ sound financial condition. The orr
ganization holds several big mort
cages that are first class. and the
club moneys are said to be we'll in
vested in other ways.

Former European Manager Of the United
Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Germany's
war plans for invading France have
been checked apparently. This Is the
most important news of the past
twenty-four hours.
Belgium's challenge to Germany
and the successful Belgian resistance
at Liege are seriously delaying the
Kaiser's march toward Paris, and
have allowed France time to make
final preparations for her defense.
The French have always claimed
that their greatest danger was an
"attaque brusque" by Germany. This
is now impossible and Germany's
campaign will have to be modified be-
yond the early predictions of the
worlds war experts.
Belgium's defiance of Germany
means the annexation of the little
kingdom by the kaiser if the Germans
win the war. Had Belgium given Ger
many permission to move across the
country, the allied powers would have
inflicted punishment in the event of
their victory. Belgium's statesmen

NAME bRE|DT AS
BOYD RECEIVER
Loan Association Is Declared
lnsoIvent by vice-Chan-
cellor Backes.
Special to the Evening Star.


TRENTON, Aug. 5.-Vice-Chancel-
lor Backes today appointed Joseph B.
Breidt, of Newark, receiver for the
Boyd Commercial Loan Association,
of Newark, which the court believes
TO be solvent.
The application for the receiver was
made by William L. Greenbaum, of
Newark, through his counsel, Jacob
Lubetlxin. Joseph A. Furstman rep
resented the Boyd Association and
opposed the appointment of a re-
ceiver. He wanted the court to per-
nit the directors of the association to
wind up its affairs.
Mr.. Fuerstman presented an affida-
Wit to the court to the effect that three
of the officials of the association who
were alleged to have signed the orig
inal bill of complaint did not do SO,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
supposed signatures of the three men
were attached to the affidavit with
the original bill of complaint.
Vice-C Chancellor Backes imposed up
on Mr.. Lubetkin, counsel for Green
baum, the responsibility of sub
poenaing these three men, Emanuel
Zauber, Max AIDES and julius Berko-
WITT. and the notary who took their
affidavits, to appear before the vice
chancellor in Trenton next Tuesday,
to ascertain who is telling the truth.
Vice Chancellor Backes also took
occasion to criticize Mr.. LubetI1ln for
taking the original order of the court
yesterday to Newark. when it should
have been filed in the Court OF Chan
Gerry here. This was a violation of
the rules of the court. Mr.. Lubetkin
explained that he took the papers for
the purpose of making q copy of them
and did not wish to transgress the
regulations of the court. Vice-Chan-
cellor Backes said "he would make an
investigation of the matter and if nee
essary enter rule to show cause why
Mr.. Lubetkin should not be disci-
plined"

GENERALS STILL
WAIVER ON COURSE
FOR MEXICO CITY
Evacuation to Be Only in Case
Americans Aid Consti-
tutionalists.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5.-The fate
of the capital remained in doubt to-
day. The 112 generals of the Fed
eral army, constituting the council
of war, had not decided whether to
fight or evacuate the city.
The generals were in conference
until a late hour last night, and fall
ing to determine their policy, sepa-
rated to meet again late this after
noon.
President Carbajal will issue a call
for a mass meeting of business men
to learn their feelings regarding the
matter. He will inform them that
General Carranza demands the un-
conditional surrender of the city and
that noncompliance with the demand
will mean that the capital Will be
taken by assault.
Railway telegraph operators report
fighting between the advance guards
of the Federals and Constitutional
lists at Teoloyucan, twenty miles
north of this city. The positions Of
the two forces were unchanged early
today.
One of the generals who was pres
ent at the session of the war coun-
Gil later made this statement:
president Carbajal yesterday
learned that the federal peace pro-
posals had been rejected by General
Carranza and that Mexico City would
be taken by assault if necessary. The
President also received information
that American forces night aid the
Constltutionalists
1T was the unanimous sentiment of
the generals present last night that in
case of joint action by Constitution
alists and Americans the Federals
should evacuate Mexico City and, re-
treating southwark, establish the
present government in a city yet to
be selected, thus preserving the honor
of the army. In case the capital was
assaulted by Constitutionalists alone,
the Federals are resolved to resist
and employ the force of 10000 men
now available"
