OIL YMP|C MAY Be
HELD IN PORT BY
UNITED STATES
Vaterland. With Belgium Re-
servists Aboard, May Also
Have to Remain.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE Olympic,
crack ship of the White Star fleet,
may not be permitted to sail tomor-
row for Southampton. inasumch as
she belongs to the British naval re-
serve.
After receiving the department of
commences instructions concerning
enforcement of neutrality, customs
officials declined today to say whether
they would give her clearance.
The Red Star liner Vaterland, book
ing only male passengers for Bel
gium, and with her entire steerage
at the call of the Belgium consul here
for reservfsts, may also be held, ac-
cording to the customs officials.
Whether the Fabre liner SAINT
Anna, reported to have all accommo-
dations engaged for French reservists,
will be permitted to clear the port,
was undetermined, too. The SAINT
Annals sailing for Marseilles is set for
tomorrow.
The White StarIine announced that
the Olympic would sail.
Practically all our ships belong to
the naval reserve said a representa-
tive of the line. IF the ban is placed
on naval reserve ships, very few ships
will sail hereafter"
Collector Malone interprets instruc-
tions from Washington as giving him
authority to clear ships with reserv-
lists aboard where reservists sail as
individuals and not as an organiza-
ton. This. it was intimated, might
cover the case of the Red Star steam
er Yaderland. Nearly !. 900 Belgian re-
servists, 1t was expected, would be
placed in the Vaderland's steerage by
the Belgian consul. Many of these re-
servists come from distant points
No other passengers than Belgians
viii be permitted to take passage on
the Yaderland.
Other vessels due to sail tomorrow
are the Europa for Naples, the French
liner Rochambeau for Havre. the An
chor liner Columbia for Glasgow and
the Atlantic Transport liner Mime
haha for London. The Europa and the
Rochambeau may be held, but 1t IS
thought unlikely that clearance will
be refused the Columbia and the Min

VALIANT TROOPS
OF KAISER GET
SHORT ARM|ST|CE.
rs, 900 Said TO Have Fallen
Victims of the Belgian
Guns.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 7.-Germany has
already lost $4,000 men in killed and
wounded at Liege, it is said. The
Belgian defense is apparently un-
weakened and the forts untaken.
Germany has asked for twenty
four-hour armistice to bury her
dead.
This is the startling news sent to
King Albert by the Belgian COM
mander tonight and made public at
TIE war office. So serious is the
German loss that the army board
here does not believe there will be
another general assault until the
German artillery has made a hole in
the Notifications or Belgium volun-
tarily abandons them to fall back
upon the second line of defenses at
Nameur.
The German dead include some of
the finest fighting units in the Kali
ser's army Not less than three en-
tire regiments of Uhlans, the finest
cavalry in the world, have been COM
pletely destroyed. Two crack regi-
ments of the Tenth Army Corps We're
practically blown to pieces when
mines planted under the roadway
leading to the forts were detonated.
One great Zeppelin was shot to
pieces.
Three times last night the German
hosts were hurled against the Belgian
defenders. Massed in close forma-
tion. the German infantry charged
across the open country in vain at
tempt to carry the fortifications by
storm. Their wonderful courage was
useless, and they were finally driven
back, torn and shattered. The Belgian
rapid-f1re guns, trained so that they
swept every foot of the territory over
which the Germans advanced, were
served with. wonderful precision by
the Belgians, The rain of lead was
continuous
The German close-order tactics
made the slaughter possible. Massed
close together. the German columns
were wiped out by entire squads. For
the third assault the German army
withdrew, and the artillery duel was
renewed. For a time this morning
the Germans remained at their base,
under cover of their artillery. An
other attempt was made. and again
the German soldiers were driven
back, completely crushed.
There were thousands of wounded
lying in the open space between the
forts and the army. The means of
the sufferers could be heard by the
Belgians in the forts as well as by
their own comrades in the German
positions. But nothing could be done
for them while the artillery fire was
kept up.
At last the German command ng
general realizing that the sight of
dead and wounded must have de-
pressing effect on his forces got into
touch with the Belgian commander.
He asked for twenty-four hour
armist ce. He wanted to gather his
wounded and bury his dead.

RUSH
IN RESPONSE TO
KITCHENER CALL

LONDON, Aug. THE response to
Field Marshal Earl Kitcheners appeal
for recruits for the British army sur
passes anything in the memory of
British military men. Huge crowds
of all ages and all stations of life.
silk hated men and poorly clothed
laborers, stood in long lines all day
in front of the recruiting stations,
awaiting their turn to go before the
medical officer.
DR.. Hans Plehm, correspondent &.
the German Telegraphic News
Agency, who had been placed under
arrest, was released today, after he
had satisfied the police that he was
not spy. He has decided to return
to Germany.
A dispatch from Queenstown states
that the Celtic sailed from there to-
day for New York, after embarking
$50 passengers, who were glad to be
allowed to occupy the steerage.
With the object of co-ordinating the
system of giving assistance to travel
ing Americans and restoring order
among the somewhat chaotic condi-
tions arising from the multiplicity of
committees, an authoritative commit
tee of Americans resident in London
was formed today under official aus
pices. Walter Hines Page, the Amer
lean ambassador, has been appointed
honorary chairman and Consul-Gen-
eral Robert Skinner chairman.
The secretary, F. c. Vanduzer,
chairman of the American society in
London, said the purpose is to supply
money to those who are penniless
and lend up to s125 on negotiable pa
per at the rate of SIS to the pound
sterling, instead of at the extortion-
ate rate of SO to the pound sterling,
now current in London.
The authorities in Washington have
been asked to appoint some official
body to dispense the appropriation

The street in front of the American
consulate general was again filed

There was no disorder.
Mrs. Katherine Peck, of Minneap-

wandering about with her mind de-
ranged. She was hungry, although
she had large sum in paper and let
ters of credit in her purse. She is
suffering from the effects of her jour
ney across Germany, where she said
she saw spies dragged from the trains
to be shot. She now imagines she
may be taken as a spy. She has been
placed in a hospital for treatment.

CITY TAX RATE
PLACED AT 1888,
COUNTY At 81.
The Latter, However, Is Esti-
mated, but Total Rate May
Be 2.o5.
AN INCREASE IN
RATABLES is SHOWN
A Jump of over se, 1888 in Dog
Tax-Effect of the New
Bank Tax Law.


The city ratables were completed
today and forwarded to the County
Board of Taxation. The local rate
is 1.sS. The total city ratables this
year amount to s40S, ,O46,9 300 This is
an increase over last year of .$S.745,
715.
The ratables on buildings for 1914
show an increase over last year of
$6.663, ,01O The total, as compiled by
the Board of Assessment and Re-
sion of Taxes. amounts to s173,9 a.
525. This. does not indicate that
building in Newark during the past
year was as brisk as in some former
years.
Land ratables this year show an
increase of s217SO4 The total for
this years property, which can be
assessed, totals s172, ,S54.056.
Personal ratables this year amount
to $57. 2s7. .775, an increase of $s7O.5S3
over last year.
The Indebtedness sworn off for 1914
totals only $510.447 Last year the
amount sworn off was $1,504, ,S15 This
deficit is accounted for by the law
passed this year prohibiting swear
ing off debt on goods and chattels.
The increase shown in the poll rat
ab,es amounts to s2.707. The figures
for 1914 are SS6,177.
One of the largest increases in the
city ratabler is the dog tax. The in
crease this year totals $9,0SS The
amount of the dog tax ratables totals
s12, ops.
This increase is due to the activity
OF the police Department. This year
the police helped the tax assessors se-
cure the names of dog owners. This
money goes to the police pension
fund.
Although the city lost more than
three million dollars in personal
ratables by the recent bank tax law,
this will not affect the city tax rate,
as the county board gives Newark
the credit for the amount.
The city rate will be 1,3S. 1t Is esti-
mated that the county rate will be
81. This, If correct, will bring the
slocale taxsrata 10 ~. .05.ss, Thes.ta rates
are figured by deducting about $4,000
which will be received from the bank
tax and estimating that $4,000 will
be collected by poll tax, a total of
$3.50, 600 to be taken from the tax
budget, from which the tax rate is
figured.
