PRAISES BRITISH
RALLY TO COLORS
Rear Admiral Harris, U. S,
N. (Retired), Returns on
Liner New York.

The American liner New York ar.
rived here Yesterday from Liverpool
with 6Sl passengers, practically all OF
them being Americans. Among the
travellers N'as Rear Admiral Urlah Il
Harris, L. 5. n. (retired). He was IN
England before war was declared, and
had an opportunity to observe the mob
ilization.
The British manner of getting troops
to the front, he said was mastertul
and the response of 100000 men in
three weeks exceedingly quick. When
he left London 100000 of the second
half million asked for had been re-
cruited and prepared for the front
Loyalty on the part of the English
newspapers, he declared, was largely
responsible for the secrecy OF the Brit
ish troops movements, and tins he
thought had kept from the public the
splendid organization effected by the
British military authorities.
Captain w. J. Roberts, master OF tho
New York, said however bad the atroc'
tiles Of the Germans appeared to be
thew were none the less true. lie stat
ed that his wife in her home at Liver.
pool WAS caring for number OF
wounded Bclgians, among them little
girl whose hands had been cut on by
German soldiers.
Miss Therese Berchier, a Red Cross
nurse, who saw service FOR eighteen
days at a field hospital near Nerdun
returned on the French liner Chicago
with an account of atrocities. She said
many French soldiers were brought IN
suffering from wounds of poisoned bull
lets, and others we're cared for whose
tongues had been cut out and arms
cut off. She declared she saw several
Belgian women who had been mutllated
by German soldiers.
Mrs. Potter Palmer returned on the
New York and after remaining in this
city for a few hours went to Chicago
The steamship Antilles of the Southern
Pacific Company, which was taken of
the New York and New Orleans route
under charter to l.. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad
arrived here yesterday with 24O Ameri'
cans after a splendid run from Genoa
Fearing that shipping would be tied W
completely, Mr.. Loree and John e.
Johnson, of Philadelphia, chartered the
Antilles to bring back themselves and
other Americans who had been caught
in the war zone.
Josef Hoffman. the pianist, who was
enc of the passengers, was exceedingly
liberal with his talent, and, aided by
Rudolph Cans, the Swiss pianist, kept
the passengers we'll entertained.
The White Star Line announced yes
terday that the steamship Olympic
would depart on Saturday at 10 a. m
for Greenock, Scotland, instead Of for
Liverpool. 1t was explained that the
change was made because of the con-
gestion of shipping in Liverpool. As
the Olympic is such large steamship
and draws so much water, it is neces'
sary for her to have an abundance OF
room to be handled with safety.

Paris, Sept. 24.-The question Of the
resumption Of railway traffic has
greatly occupied the attention Of the
business world here lately.
Apart from the paralyzing effect oil
the departure to war of nearly all the
assistants of the large firms, goods
that were ready to be delivered have
been held up ever since the beginning
OF the mobilization of the French
army. Besides this, the scarcity OF
trains agcravates the delay in the pos
tai service, of which people all over
the country have been complaining Tor
weeks.
For some time hardly firm, large
or small. has been able to carry on any
business or fulfil contracts. The lack
OF trains on lines to the north and east
was a quite natural result of the press
ure of the combatant armies in those
regions. but the merchants inquired
vbv there were hardly any trains 70
Normandy and Brittany. .
The president of the Chamber OF
Commerce interviewed the Minister OF
Public Works as to the Importance OF
the resumption of the means of trans
portation as soon as possible. AS re-
sult. although $4,000 of the staff of the
state railways are under the Aag' and
great effort is consequently entailed'
the number Of trains on all the lines
is being gradually augmented
Trains North and East.
The Northern Railway lines have
now recalled the remainder Of their
staff TO take up work Immediately
and as the broken places in the line
are gradually repaired the working
radius will be extended. A daily train
is announced from Paris to Dunkirk'
by way Of Treport, Abbeville' Bou-
logne and Calais.
The Eastern Railway line, which
also has many bridges broken on its
route, is almost daily extending Its
services, and announces train Tor
Basevette, which is resssuring IN face
Of the German statement as to the
occupation of Belfort, which is only
mile and quarter from this town.
The stations on these lines are
crowded with hundreds of people who
were driven from their homes Tort
night ago. and are now anxious to get
back 10 their houses and learn the
worst as soon as possible, for the Ger
mans sacked and burned everywhere
as they passed through.
The people Of the regions which were
occupied BY the Germans and are now
once more in the hands Of the French
have sent reports 20 Bordeaux TO APP
prise the government Of their destitu-
lion. President Pojncare has signed
dccvee granting 100000 for the re-
lief OF the affected regions, and the
Minister OF Public Works has given
assurance that, military necessity al,
lowing of it, transport by railway
and canal will insure sufficient sup
ply of food.

WILSON PUTS BAN
ON MARCONT
SiaScOnSett Station Is Or
dered Closed To-day by
Secretary Daniels.
[From The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington, Sept. 24.-The Marconi
wireless station at Sissconsett, Mass.
was ordered closed at noon tomorrow
by Secretary Daniels, in dispatch sent
to Ensign L. B. Nixon to-day. Failure
OF the owning company to give sssur-
snce that the governments regulations
would be complied with was the occa-
sion Of the order.
1t is expected by Navy Department
officials that the company will attempt
to resist the order by resort to the
courts, although Secretary Daniels is
certain that the President has unlim-
tied right to control all wireless sta
tons IN the present crisis.
The order closing the station reads:
You will at noon on Friday, Septem-
Der 20, convey by word of mouth and
IN writing to person in employ of the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
CT America in charge of the Siascon-
sett radio station the information that
until further orders no messages Of
any character will be permitted to be
sent or received through the Siascon-
sett radio station; in other words, that
the Siasconsett station is closed to the
transmission of radiograms of what
ever character. You will further keep
a close watch on that station and inn
mediately report to the Secretary of
the Navy any attempt on the part of
any employee of the Msrconi company
to send or receive any message to or
from ships at sea or to or from an
other radio station.
"By direction of the President"

greater success. The brunt OF the re-
sistance has naturally fallen upon the
infantry. In spite Of the fact that they
have been drenched to the skin Tor
some DAYS and their trenches have
been deep in mud and water, and IN
spite of the incessant night alarms
and the almost continuous lombard
ment to which they have been SUB

been ready for the enemy's infantry
when the latter attempted to assault
and they have beaten them back, with
great loss. Indeed, the sight of the
pickelshauben coming up has been
positive relief after long, trying hours
of inaction under shell fire.
"The object of the great proportion
of artillery the Germans employ is to
heat down the resistance of their
enemy by concentrated and prolonged
fire. to shatter their nerve with high
explosives before the infantry attacks
are launched. They seem to have re-
lied on doing this with us, but they
have not done so, though it has taken
several costly experiments to discover
this fact.
