He estimated that a plant with I'M

Smith and State streets and overhead
wiring on other streets could be
erected for about S125,000.

that it is the intention of the city

Among the 1900 fleeing Ameri-
cans who left Copenhagen on the
Scandinayian-American liner United
States, Thursday, it is the belief of
F. l.. Brown, local steamship agent
for the line, that a number are Perth
Amboy people. The ship Is reported
as having been crowded, and the
1900 passengers being in addition to
its regular complement. Nothing
has been heard from the state de-
partment concerning the Perth AM
boyans who the department has been
requested to locate by friends Of the
marooned tourists now in Europe.
Much concern Is felt by friends in
Jamesburg and Helmetta for the
safety Of Mrs. Helme, eighty-one
years old, widow of the late George
w. Helme, founder of Helmetta and
the large snuff factory, which Is the
principal industry Of that place. Mrs.
Helme, with her daughter and SON
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs Charles Strater,
of Louisville, KY, have been touring
Europe and the last heard from them
was from Paris, before the declara-
tion of war had been issued against
any of the present warning countries
President John K. Sheehy, of the
Board of Education, has been report
ed as being In Lucerne, Switzerland,
Tuesday. Mr.. Sheehy Is in Europe
on tour conducted by a company in
Boston, who reported that the tour
lists In their charge had arrived at
that Switzerland city
Peter 8. Floersch, formerly pro-
prietOr of the Packer House. and
now operating a hotel at Plainfield
left Rotterdam with his wife yester-
day on the steamer New Amsterdam
for New York, according to a cable
gram received by William Floersch,
who has charge of the hotel at Plain
field in the absence of Mr.. Floersch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floersch had not in
tended sailing until August 20, but
took steps to expedite their return
following the general war outbreak
in Europe.
The British oil tank steamer
Bloomfield, which was scheduled to
leave Port Reading this morning for
Port Arthur, received orders not to
sail, the marine underwriters fear
ing that the vessel might be captured
by German cruisers which are be-
lieved to be laying off the United
States coast. Although the steamer
is a coastwise vessel, should it get
out of the three-mile limit it is liable
to capture by the German warships.
1t Is the belief Of the captains of
the six four and five-masted schoon-
ers that have been hugging the local
harbor for the past two months be-
cause of depressed coastwise ship
ping, that the present conflict In
Europe will so stimulate business
that 1t will not be long before they
receive orders to move. There are
schooners from Philadelphia, Bath,
Me-, and other places, many of them
coastwise tramps, which have been
idling their time gust off the east
shore of the city. Captain F. M

The question as to whether Perth
Amboy shall have municipal cleo
tric plant of its own, or continue to
purchase electric current from the
Public Service concern, will be re-
ferred to the voters at the next
general election, according to action
taken at an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night. City
Surveyor Samuel j. Mason estimated
from a review of existing plants, that
it would cost approximately $125,0 600
to erect a plant and distributing
system, underground in State and
Smith streets, in this city Mr..
Mason's report was received and
placed on file and resolution to re-
fer the subject to the voters was
passed unanimously. The action was
| taken by the Democratic members
| but Alderman f. William Hilker
Republican, prime supporter of the
project, made no objection. 1t ap
peared that he was prepared to enter
similar resolution had the Demo
Gratis not taken the steps they did.
Judging from the comparative
costs of existing municipal electrical
plants, Mr.. Mason compiled a report
of the estimate cost of plant oil

At TER PARADE

Most of the local fremen who
went to Long Branch yesterday
morning and participated in the pa
rade at that place in the afternoon,
returned last night. A number came
early in the evening, but the major
ity returned on the train leaving
Long Branch shortly after 8 O'Clock,
About ten were left down there and

This morning the firemen's con-
tests were held. AS there was only

CALL OIL STEAMER To
PORT; FEAR CRUISERS

er Martha P. Small, of the Percy and
Small Transportation Company, of
Bath, Me, told a NEWS man this
morning that business is picking up
and some of our schooners that have
been idle for some time have just
received orders to move' The little
fleet of idle schooners expect at any
time to receive similar instructions. q.
The Martha P. Small is the largest
of those lying off our coast awaiting
the incoming tide of prosperity. The
captain, his wife and son, Lawrence,
are the only occupants of the big
craft at present, though it's regular
crew complement Is twelve. The
schooner arrived here May 80, un-
loaded a cargo of ties brought from
Brunswick, Ga, and has been lying
here since for further orders. 1t can
carry cargo of $4,000 tons of coal
and not feel overloaded. The Mar
tha P. Small measures $50 feet from
stem to stern, and its beam is forty
six feet. 1t was built in 1901 and
Captain Hodgkins has guided 1t
through the high seas and inland by
paths for the past five years without
wreck, or without encountering a
gale that did material damage to the
craft. One time, about a year ago,
the captain says he did "get stuck"
coming up the shallow channel from
Sandy Hook, but got off the reefs by
the assistance of the Arthur Kill tug.
The big boat draws twenty-three and
one-half feet of water when fully
loaded, and it is almost impossible
with such a cargo to sail from Sandy
Hook to this city because of the
shallowness of the channel.

BRUSSELS, Aug. S:-Enraged
when his demand for a twenty-four
hour armistice to collect the wound
ed and bury the dead" was refused,
General Won Emmich, the German
commander ordered his entire army
against Liege today. The seventh,
ninth and tenth corps are engaged
and the battle line embraces the en-
tire chain of the Liege fortifcations
The slaughter is terrible as the Bel
gian fire is deadly. The Germans
are advancing over open spaces that
have been accurately mapped and
the range determined by the Ger
mans.
German field artillery forces and
siege guns are In action putting
thousands of exploding shells into
the Belgium fortresses. General
Leman declared that the request for
an armistice was intended only to
Npermit the Germans to hurry up two
Additional army corps that were
pressing forward from Cologne.
The Germans have been outwitted
at every point to date. The Belgians
are apparently falling back defeated
and whenever the Germans have
rushed forward they have been
trapped. This ruse has worked sew
eraI times. In addition seven regi-
ments OF German cavalry which had
managed to cross the Muse were sur
prised by Belgians and literally cut
to pieces. Those not killed or
wounded were forced to surrender.
General Goudneur reported to the
to no
ent the entire Belgium losses have
totaled only 5000 men in killed and
wounded as against 10000 to the
Germans. The Germans are report
ed as continuing their advance de-
spite the heavy losses already sus-
tanned. 1t is believed they desire to
overwhelm the defending Belgian
forces by sheer weight Of numbers.
VIENNA, August 8.-Montenegro

foreign office was today advised OF
this action and the diplomatic rela-

COPENHAGEN, August 8.-The

is in progress. Reports received
here today say that German invad-
ing army Of 10000 men, supported
by warships, have been landed at
Ekenses and are now marching on
Helsingfore, the capital Of Finland.
The Germans have been opposed by
Russian troops, but they are per-
sisting In their advance and it is e0-
pected that Helsingfore will be
taken.

be to throw Portuguese ports open
to British warships for their use is
still to be determined.
ROTTERDAM, August 8-Return-
ing from the front today the ninth
regiment of the army defending
Liege, paraded through the streets OF
| Antwerp, carrying German helmets
upon their bayonets with their tok-
ems of victory. The regiment arous-
ed the people of Antwerp to frenzy
of patriotic enthusiasm.
PARIS, August S.-The French
government today conferred the leg
end of honor upon the defenders of
the Belgium at Liege.
ROME, Aug S:-The sensational
declaration was made by Italian Off
cials here today that Austria has de-
clined to aid Germany against England.
The officials state that the German bat
the cruiser Goeben and the cruiser Bres-
lau, expelled from Messina harbor yes
terday, were steaming toward the Adri-
attic with their decks cleared for action,
and wirelessed to the Austrian fleet to
come to their assistance. The Austrian
naval authorities in reply sent a fiat
refusal declaring war had not been de-
clared between Austria and England.
As the result of the refusal of the
Austrians to come to their aid the two
German cruisers are in a desperate po-
sition. A combined French and English
fleet is between them and the Austrian
naval base near Trieste and they are
in imminent danger of capture or de-
struction.
PARIS, Aug. S:-May Czecht soldiers
were lined up and shot by Austrians be-
cause they refused to go to the front
it was officially announced at the war
office here today. The Czeehts were at
tached to Bohemian regiments, which
were ordered to the Russian border.
They attempted mutiny and were shot
down in front Of their regiments.
LONDON, Aug S:-The admiralty
again today denied that any naval bat
tie has taken place off the Dutch coast.
The denial followed the publication in
a special edition of the Daily Mail,
which stated that battle between the
combined feet had taken place off
Musden, Holland. The Mail story said
the nineteen German warships had been
sunk by the British and that the re-
mainder of the kaiser 8 feet had start
ed and were being pursued. The cor
respondent added that four Dutch
torpedo boats were lying off shore wait
ing for the arrival of vessels with the
wounded.
NISH, Aug. SIT was officially an
nounced today that the Servian army
has occupied Fotcha in Bosnia. Not a
single Austrian soldier is now on Servi-
an soil it was officially stated at the
war Office today. The Austrians have
been repulsed at Semendri, and all
other points. The crown price heading
the main division of the Servian army,
today assumed the defences directing
determined attack on the Austrian
army.
