LAW, TO LICENSE rRAILERs.
Expects State Will Be Forced to
Legislate on Subject.

State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Lippincott said: "The opinion of the
assistant encouragement concerning
the right of the owner of a licensed
automobile to attach to his car a
stage and operate it between Oceanic
and Seabright, seems to have been
generally misunderstood. AS this
department construes the opinion, the
prohibition against trailers would not
necessarily extend to any trailer so
placed ss not to interfere with the
proper exposure of lights and number
plates, as provided in the motor
vehicle act.
Il can see nothing in the opinion,
for instance, that would prohibit the
towing Of a stalled or damaged auto.
mobile by any other machine provid-
ed the car towing such a machine is
properly licensed, and provided
further that the line connecting the
two cars is long enough to allow
each machine properly to display
both lights and number plates"
Commissioner Lippincott said he
thought New Jersey will be forced
to adopt a law licensing trailers
similar to the law now in effect in
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania law
provides as follows:
"The fees for registration of veht
cles trailing after or propelled by
motor vehicles shall be SO for each
such vehicle of less than 10000
pounds, gross maximum weight Of
vehicle and load combined, and IS for
each such vehicle for more than TO-
600 pounds and less than $4,000
pounds gross maximum weight of
vehicle and load combin d."

The Germans at 1870 p. M, de-
manded the surrender of Liege. The
demand was refused. An armistice
of two hours then followed to enable
both sides to collect their wounded
and the bombardment was renewed
at 4 p. m. There are terrible scenes
in and about Liege as a result of the
artillery fire.
Wounded Germans who reached the
Dutch town of Maastricht say that
Belgian farmers in frontier hamlets
fought desperately in opposing the in
vaders and were killed in their homes
by the Germans. One farmer boy, IA
years old, saw all the members of his
family except himself killed, and he
was wounded.
The German invaders made three
separate attacks on the Notifications,
Mines which had been placed when
the German approach on Liege was
begun were exploded under the heavi-

suits. This close oroer formation, to
which the Germans have adhered
strictly in their assaults on the Liege
Notifications according to the infor-
nation received here, made the task
Of the defenders of the city easier.
Artillery fire has been triply effec-

Rights Of Others.

When the duties of life are per.
formed through love and not through
selishness, the rights of others are
considered as sacred as our own rights.
We are to love u neighbor not
more, not less. but "as ourselves"
With this conception Of Christianity,
which is the true one. we viii escape
the unworthiness Of claiming and de-
handing more than we are entitled
to; and if We get more, some n must
get less. There is surplus Of rights
from which m may draw and not in
fringe upon what is due another.
The great fault is that nearly every
one is striving not to get his just dues,
but to get all that he can. irrespective
of the value Of the services rendered.
In this way social justice is defeated
and industrial equality destroyed.

Notwithstanding to a wire from
Rome, dispatches from Berlin say
that the French invasion of Alsace
was expected by the Germans and
is unimportant. The Germans oppos-
ed the advance to the south of holman
only to try out the strength of the
French, according to the Berlin ad-
vices, and when this was accomplish
ed the Germans retired to their ad-
vanced defense base at Neu Breisach.
The German war plans are working
without a hitch, the dispatches say,
and when all is ready the German
armies will strike and strike hard.
The dispatch adds that Germany is
calm and that there is an air of ex-
pectancy about the war office which
gives the impression that a great
forward movement which will demon
strate the strength Of the German
arms is impending.
The people of Paris are no less
confident of victory.
The War Office announced that the
French army which is invading Alsace
had fallen back before superior forces
to the plains to the south of Huel-
hansen. It is reported that a battle
between the Germans advancing
from Neu Breisach and the French
army of invasion is now in progress
at that point.
The movement indicates that the
French have evacuated the unfortified
town of Muelhausen, as did the Ger
mans at the French approach. The
Germans moved to Neu Breisach, to
the east, where they are heavily forti-
fed. The French are now throwing
up entertainments to the real of
Muelhausen to make their stand
there.
The check administered by the
Germans in compelling the evacua-
ton of Muelhausen is the first report
received in Paris of a German vic
tory in the campaign. Earlier reports
said the French had reformed their
lines outside the city and had checked
the German advance. It is stated
in the official announcement that the

SPIES PUT TO
DEATH IN BELGIUM

Brussels, (via Paris. belgium has
been covered with a network of Ger
mar spies. Two thousand have al
ready been arrested and 100 were
shot.
Some of the Germans captured were
wearing uniforms of gendarmes, civic
guards, and soldiers and officers of
the Belgian Army.
Many of the spies captured were
armed with bombs and revolvers and
were riding in automobiles bearing
false numbers. They also had in
their possession kilograms and letters
with the counterfeit signature of the
Belgian Minister of War.
Just before and after the fighting
began private signs were discovered
on bridges, military works, and
~aqueducts, indicating that those struc-
lures should be blown up.
Severe precautions have now been
taken by the military authorities, and
no one is admitted at the railway
stations without military permits.
Automobiles are halted at every mile.
Paris.-After f5rty-years the French
are in Alsace. They have advanced
beyond the frontier at Belfort and
have driven the Germans out Of
Altkirch and Muelhausen.
The battle was superb. The, officers
literally were unable to hold back
the impetuous troops, who advanced
in a wild charge, s~hovelling the Ger
mans out of the trenches at the point
of the bayonet.
The Germans fed before the French
and were pursued by dragons toward
Walheim, Tagolstein and Illfurth.
The officers and men behaved with
wonderful bravery. A colonel and
seven dragon officers were wounded
in the pursuit.
After a few hours of rest the whole
brigade started at dawn for MueI-
hansen, which was reached in the
evening. The ~retreating Germans
had abandoned the forts and trenches.
The Dragons again pursued the
German ear guard and the German
forces retired to Neu Birsach, a forti-
fed town guarding the great bridge
over the Rhine.
The moral effect of victory will be
as great as it is startegic. 1t has
given to France all her long harbered
dreams of entering Alsace again and
avenging the war IF 1870. +.
Paris is weeping with joy. Many
of the residents remember the days
when the provinces were annexed.
Meanwhile the city is waiting for a
list of the casualties, which it is
feared will be heavy.

Heroic Air Combats

LONDoN.-The Times's cor

ing the fighting at Iiese, says
aerial flights were used by both
Belgians and Germans. The
fighting in mid-air was desuItory
but deadly.
A huge Zeppelin sailed owe

shots from the forts.
Two Belgian aeropIanists, at

Moved Bones for Science.

Justifying the removal by HIM Of
80 skeletons from the old Minisink
Indian burial plot in Sussex County,
upon the ground that they were
taken for scientific research. Pro-
fessor George G. Heye, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, has taken
out a writ of error in the Supreme
Court here to set aside his convic-
ton on the charge of Decorating
graves. He is the vice president of
the Museum of the University Of
Pennsylvania; president of the New
York Anthropological Society and a
membc@ of the American Anthropol-
ogical Society. After his arrest Pro-
fessor Heye was fined 800 by Judge
Shay, in Sussex County. He defended
himself by saying that he had the
permission Of the owner of the plot
to remove the skeletons and that he
had acted only in the interest of
science. He previously waived a trial
by jury, and following his conviction,
declared that the act was Illegal.

BELGIAN ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING

Brussels, via London.-Trains filed
with wounded and fugitive non-com-
batants arrived here from Liege and
neighboring towns. The military trains
with prisoners on board were sent
from Liege to Antwerp.
The Belgian troops appeared to be
in the best of spirits when the trains
left Liege. They declared that if
there had not been ten Germans to
one Belgian not one German would
have gotten through their lines.
Though in good spirits, the Belgians
were partially exhausted, having
fought for fifty hours without rest.
Some of the wounded Belgians, eye
witnesses Of the fighting, say they
saw Germans mown down by hun
dreds in front of the trenches and
entanglements by the gun and rife
fire of the Belgians, but that they
were replaced by others who crawled
forward like weasels.
In certain places in the fighting
ION the ground was covered with
dead, the burial of which, it was said,
would take at least a week.
The Germans before Liege request
ed a twenty-four hours armistice, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the Belgian Ministry of War.
The Ministry stated the Germans
admitted their casualties numbered
$4,000.
1t is assumed the Germans asked
for an armistice to pick up their dead
and wounded.
Martial law has been proclaimed
throughout Belgium.
LIE Peuple says the bombardment of
Liege caused six or seven fires in the
city. German officers then came TO
the city with a white flag and de-
manded the surrender of the place.
They received a negative reply, and
the b~ombardment was resumed.
An official of the War Office ex-
planned the operations around Liege.
He said there were twelve forts, six
IN each bank of the River Meuse.
Their distance from the centre of the
city varies from three and one-half
to five and one-half miles.
The losses suffered by the Belgians,
although they are much less numer-
Gus than those of the Germans, in
clude many officers. One thousand
wounded are here.
At Maastricht one of the three Ger
man attacking columns ~recrossed the
Mouse, retiring to Aix-la-C hapelle.
The sending of the German wound
ed to Holland ended.
German prisoners whom a CORE
%spondent questioned acknowledged
freely the courage and ~tenacity of the
Belgian troops opposing the German
advance. The prisoners were treated
with consideration, and on the way
to Brussels were supplied at the sta
tons with beer and bread.
The Belgians give the German sol
diers credit for great courage under
fire, but declare the Kaiser's officers
showed poor Judgment in ordering
their men forward in frontal attacks
on the Belgian positions, thus throw
ing away their lives by the hundreds.
In an official statement issued, the
Belgian Wal Office says that the Ger
mans admit that their losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners in the fighting
at Liege reached a total of $4,000
men.

ARMIES CLASH ON ENTIRE
FRONT; BOTH FRENCH AND
GERMANS WIN VICTORIES

French and German forces, in all the
operations.
The most serious conflict appears
to have taken place in upper Alsace.
There a struggle began in the Vosges
Mountains, in which aeroplanes play
ed an important part. The French
troops according to the official report,
penetrated the mountain passes at
Bonhomme and Sainte Marie, and,
assumed q position dominating Sainte
Marie-aux-Maines.
The French losses were not serious,
and nothing is stated as to the Ger
man loses, save that a number of
wounded French and German soldiers
were taken to the French fortress
Of EpinaSl for treatment.
The official communication adds the
German troops are receiving rein
forcements and that the French also
r being strengthened. The state
ment says numerous skirmishes are
taking place along the entire front
Of the French army. One clash with
the Germans was violent and the
losses on both sides were serious.
