on the high seas, but that was the
affair of her owners.
Collector Davis, however, held that
the peculiar circumstances in this par
ticular case, the original purchase of
the coal by the German consulate and
the hasty transfer of the vessel from
one flag to another-made it an IN
stance for special consideration. Col

BRANDEN6URG SAILS FROM PHIL

OF COAL

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Loaded to
the limit with coal and food supplies
the North German Lloyd steamship
Brandelburg is steaming down the
Delaware river bound for Bergen, Nor
way. This is the destination given
in the clearance papers. and the cap
tain says the journey will require
about two months. Despite the pro-
tests of the British ambassador in
Washington, who declared that the
Brandenburg is an auxiliary cruiser
of the German navy, local customs au-
thorities gave her clearance papers.
The Brandenburg is slow, and her
only chance for safety lies in protec-
tion by German cruisers
When the Brandenburg sailed her
appearance was changed so that old
mariners failed to recognize her as
the same vessel.
Both the captain of the Branden-
burg and the German consulate at
Philadelphia denied that the Branden-
burg was going to the relief of German
cruisers. They made positive state
ments that the vessel was going to
try to deliver her cargo in Bergen,

high They said that opportunity for
making big profits was worth the risk
of capture by French and English war

Plus X having put politics aside.
There will be present a conserva-

The third party, that of the center,

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1914,
A LID ON THE NOISE

The public will learn with pleasure
at the city council is contemplating
passage of an ordinance prohibit
the use of muffler cut-outs on auto
biles within the limits of the muni-
ality. People who know all about
automobiles, including those who make
item and those who drive them, de-
clare that the opening of the muffler
does not do a particle of good. 1t
does not increase the speed or driving
power of the engine. About all that
is accomplished is the releasing upon
the atmosphere of a cloud of smoke
and a chaos of noise.
An open muffler creates the i'm
preston in the mind of the observer
that a car is making great speed. If
the observer chances to be a cop an
arrest may be the result, and the
mere exercise of caution against a
trip to the police court might be made
sufficient inducement to the motorist
to put the lid on the big noise.
But while the city council is endeav-
or.ng to reduce the noise made by au-
tomobiles, why not get after the motor
cycles as we'll? One of those me-
chanical creations can make more
noise than ten six-cylindered touring
cars.

Railroad traffic men admit here
that their business is being seriously
affected by the European war. A fall
ing off in traffic they said, was bound
to follow the embago placed on grain
and other export freight which usually
runs heavy at this time of the year.
The complete tie-up of imports has
also had tendency to reduce freight
received from the manufacturers de-
pendent upon Europe for raw mater
ials. Officials of the leading trunk
lines, however, are of the opinion that
the setback in railway earnings will
be only temporary, and that the inn
provement, when it comes, will be
permanent and of great value to our
industries.

Germans in Ostend
According to a dispatch from Folk

have arrived there from Ostend report
that Friday afternoon German patrols

seaport.
Several Englishman and a number
Of Americans arrived at Folksetone to-

Not the least beneficial results to
this country of the European war will
be the opportunity for American man
ufactnrers of womens' wear to throw
off the shackles of custom that have
bound them to Paris for so many
years and to make the creations of
their own minds take the place of
copies of the ideas OF designers over
seas. Whether the persons concerned
will be able to stand alone is prob
lematical. The designers and the
manufacturers think that they can,
and that they can break Partisan dom

that the American designers are adept
at toning down French and other Eu-

The result at best, these retailers sap.
