New York, Sept. 1s.--Three liners
arrived yesterday bringing S,436 pas
sengers from the war zone, OF whom
I2,1S5 were Americans. The Holland
American liner Rotterdam, which ar
rived yesterday from Rotterdam,
had 1904 passengers; the Scandi-
Lavian American liner Frederick
VIII, from Copenhagen. brought l.
215, and the Italian liner Re Di Italia
brought SIS passengers from Genoa,
Naples and Palermo.
The Potsdam was crowded as she
never had been before, but the re-
fugees, most of whom were German
sympathizers, had no complaint to
make of their treatment on the Pots
dam. They had their share of trou-
BILE in getting out OF Europe. and

This man told Mr.. Lewis that for
a long time the kaiser refused to be-
lieve that war was necessary and that
he signed the declaration with the
utmost reluctance Mr.. Lewis said:
General Staff Was For War.
THE general staff. according to my
informant. showed the kaiser indis-
putable proof that the Russians had
crossed the eastern border of Ger
many, and that the French had in
vaded Germany on her western
frontier. The staff urged the kaiser
! to declare war and told him they
would not be responsible to the peo-

at once.

At the instance of Governor Stuart.
who is deeply interested In the sub
ject from its effect on agriculture, the
State board of health has just issued
for public distribution bulleting sug-
costing methods for Kidding Virginia

In recent conference with health Of
ficers. Governor Stuart explained that
rats In Southwest Virginia had become
a very serious economic problem.
Large field rats, he stated, had settled
in various sections Of the southwest
and were destroying grain. feed and
fowls to the value Of many thousand
dollars
AT the governors suggestion, the
board procured the services OF an in
yestigator from the biological survey
to study conditions in Southwest Vir-
ginia. In addition the board prepared
the new bulletin on the best methods
of Graduating rats and Of the eco
nonAc loss to the country every year
from rodents Accepting the usual
estimate OF at least one rat for every
human being and the further estimate
OF the destruction OF one-haH cents
OF food by every rat daily. the board
computed the cost of Virginia rats at
something mere than $3,7e9,e0e an
nually, or more than half the entire
revenue OF the state from taxation.
This estimate Is considered low by
those who are familiar with such con-
ditons as Governor Stuart has found
in Southwest Virginia

ties. one Of the most important steps

try was that the greatest possible
tragedy had come to the fatheriand
The attitude OF the people, however,
was calm, intensely serious, and deep
ly enthusiastic This was impressed
upon thousands OF Americans dur
ing the trying period. There was a
total absense of bravado and one had
the feeling of seeing a nation rise
against being robbed of the fruits OF
labor. TIE Germans are fighting,
not for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF power and
land, or to lord 1t over other peoples,
but solely for their existence.
"Thc feeling in Europe is that the
United States will be called upon 10

over. We. as individuals. should do
all in our power 70 preserve our
SO as to retain tho confidence Of
Europe.
II witnessed thrilling scene in
Munich continued DIR, Jastrow.
when news was received that the
Grand Duke of Bavaria had gained
a victory over the allies. Thousands
OF people marched to the palace.
where they were addressed by the
king, who warned the populace
against excessive enthusiasm ard ad.
vised them to save their money and
food for privations might have to be
endured before the war is ended
DR. Jastrow was a member of the
American relief committee in Munich.
He said that $4,000 M been raised
within a few hours, and seven special
trains with diners and sleepers had
been arranged for to transport Anieff-
can refugees to The Hague.
Invaded by France and Russia.
Rabbi Krauskopf. of the Reform
Keneseth Israel synagogue of Phila-
delphia. was another passenger by the
Potsdam who declared that the kaiser
did not declare war until Germany
was inva ded, both by Russia and by
France, and Germany's hand was
forced
! Together with, other Americans
who have been in Germany" said
Rabbi krauskopf. Il was shocked at
the vile caiumnies published against
Germany. hold no brief for Ger
many. but I want to see fair play for
Germany.
1--WE were treated nobly in Ger

they boarded us at the hotels for
nothing when We ran short OF money

what patriotism meant until l was In

has a hard struggle, and the odds are

down, she will go down like a Sam
son.
"Germany's greatness lays In peace
not in war Now the universities are
deserted the libraries are closed. The
men are ffgntfng and the boys are
harvesting the crops.
at does not seem to be generally
realized in this country that both
France and Russia invaded German
soil before the kaiser declared war.
II am returning from trip around
the world. and I did not think when
II started year ago that I would
finish in the midst OF European war.

Pushing Luce Lines.

Frank .Kritzek, one of the travel
ing men who make Hutchinson their
home, says he got good impression
of the preparations the Luce Line
management is making to hurry the
extension westward of the road one
day last week while he was at Lake
Sarah, small station on the 500 line
north of Long Lake. Construction
equipment consisting Of horses and
grading machines were arriving there
by the carload and being unloaded
and taken across the country to the
Luce line and set at work on the right
of way. On one shipment alone the
freight paid was some over $4,000.
The shipment came from Canada and
others were due to follow. Labor is
plentiful and crews are rapidly being
assembled and camps established
along the line.
If present activities are maintained
it is a plausible proposition that the
Luce line will be able to make good
in it's determination to re oh Hutch
inson by Hutchinson
Leader.
