u. S. ACCEPTS KAISER'S
OFFER OF STEAMSHIPS
Hamburg-American Liner, Under the
Stars and Stripes. Will Bring
Refugees Home.

What was characterized as a most gen.
erous offer was received at the State De-
partment yesterday from the German
government. with regard to the arrange
ments for bringing Americans home from
Europe.
The Berlin government informed Wash
ington, through Ambassador Gerard. that
it was welcome to select one OF the Ham,
burg-American liners tied up in the
United States ports and send 1t to Ger
many to bring back Americans. The gov
ernment suggested that the ship be sent
presumably to avoid danger of mines in
the North Sea, and also perhaps to keep
Americans out nf the scene of a possible
engagement between the British and
German fleets.
The German government has assured
Ambassador Gerard that the United
States government may have complete
control over the movements Of such
vessel as it selects. and may even fly
the United States flag over her IL II
so chooses. The United States. of
course. is to compensate the Hamburg
American line
Ambassador Gerard has been in
structed to inform the Berlin govern
ment that it's offer is most gratefully
accepted, and to ask If the German gov
ernment cannot permit the United
States to select a number OF the Ham
burg-American liners for the same pur-
pose.
The State Department asked Ambas-
sador Gerard to make the best estimate
he could Of the number OF Americans in
Germany. Latest reports indicate that
there are in Switzerland 1000 Americans
who wish TO come home at once
Secretary Bryan said last night, after
receiving cabIegrams from Ambassador
Page at London:
The transportation situation between
this country and Great Britain is now
such that every American may in a few
weeks go home on the ordinary line. The
problem is therefore solved.

AFFINITY" FLED IN KIMoNo.
Pittsburgh Woman Says Accused
Ironmnster Earns $4,000 Year.

Pittsburgh woman says Accused
IrOnmnster Earns $4,000 Year.
New York, Aug. 16.-An alleged affinity
who ran out OF the house in her kimono
when the wife visited her husband at 10
o'clock at night. is described in divorce
papers which Mrs. Catherine Thompson
has filed in the Supreme Court against
Frank T. Thompson, a retired Pittsburgh
iron manufacturer. He is alleged to have
an income OF more than $4,000 a year.
The Thompsons were married in 1855
in Ohio. They have two sons, Frank and
William, both over twenty-one. Mrs.
Thompson learned for the first time OF
her husbands alleged misconduct when
some told her he was living with another
woman at No lI9 West 10th street. She
went there, she says, and found this was
true.
At another time William and his
mother called on their father one night
and the other woman ran out into the
street in her kimono. William says his
father makes large sums Of money At
one time he showed his son $4,000 in bills
which he said he had made in one trans
action.
The defendant admitted he has occa-
sionaIly made large sums Of money while
playing cards. but said he didn't think
such chance winnings should be made the
basis for alimony.
Mrs. Thompson asked for $50 a month
alimony, but the defendants lawyer said
Thompson would rather spend six months
In Ludlow street Jail than pay more than
$50 a month.

FLASH OF MARcOM WIRELESS DISPATCHES,
ABOVE GRAPHING ARMIES AND NAVIES,
WILL BE TELLING FACTOR IN BIG WAR

In wars of the nineteenth century
an army spent much time in attempt
Ing to cut an enemy's telegraph and
telephone wires. To break the trans
mission OF dispatches today Is prse-
tcally impossible. thanks TO Mr.. Mar
conf and his eo-inventors.
Do you realize that the two allies
against Germany and .Anatro- Hungary,
France and Russia, are probably In
constant touch every hour, indeed every
minute. OF the day and night?
They can talk right over Germany
and Moscow and Paris and cooperate
perfectly. Probably Gen. Joffre and
Grand Duke NicholaIevitch known.
each OF them, what the others forces
are doing from hour to hour.
An incident of the Balkan war shows
the remarkable possibilities of wireless.
The allies bottled up Adrianople, holding
all roads to Constinople. But In the city
was a l-2 kilowat Marconi wireless teIe-
graph station of the portable type. Al
no time did the station fail, and in the
course of the siege more than $4,000
words were transmitted to headquarters
without a hitch.
The allies attempted to stiie the sta
ton by placing wireless outfits to the
east and west OF Adrianople, but their
attempt to lam" the Turkish signals was
in vain.
The usefulness Of wireless was also
shown in the recall of certain ships at
sea at the outbreak of the present war.
The Washington herald., 1914-08-17

One ship was brought back after she had
proceeded within two days journey Of
Europe. and thus was saved from the
enemy.
Many small craft have been seized, be-
cause they were at sea at the outbreak
Of hostillties and had no wireless. The
effect Of this experience will undoubtedly
be the cause of a wide use Of air COM
munications. as a kind Of assurance
against capture by a hostile warship.
Austria Hungary has four important
government wireless stations-Germany.
IL; France, IS; Russia, %; Great Britain,
S.
, Many means are now used for insuring
the privacy Of a wireless dispatch. The
Marconi stations are designed to obtain
this result by changing the wave length
Of the transmltter at frequent intervals
This change can be made In a fraction
Of a second. The operator can shift his
tune" after every three or four words
II he considers 1t necessary. Just before
the shift he ends a code letter indicating
to which wave length he is about to
change. The operator at the station re-
ceiving makes the necessary readjust-
ments to follow him without difficulty.
II Is believed that this system, properly
carried out, is eavesdropper proof.
Eifel Tower station, which France de-
pends upon for communication with
Russia, has the advantage that interfer-
ence Is practically impossible, owing to
the peculiar sound Of the signal emitted.

AUSTRIANS MOVE
ALONG THE VISTULA
Invasion of Servia Announced in
London Dispatch from
Vienna.

London. Aug. ia Berlin dispatch says
that the northward advance of the
Austro-Hungarian armies continues, both
along the right and left banks OF the
River Vistula, forming the boundary be-
tween Galicia and Russian Poland.
A Vienna dispatch to Rueter's says II
is semiofficially announced that the Aus
trian troops have invaded Servia at sew
eral points, which are not specified.
Telegraphing from Rome, the CORE
spondent Of the Central News says Aus
tria's preparation for defence in the Adri-
attic Sea are being concentrated around
her naval base at Pola, near the southern
extremity of the peninsula Istria, and
that other measures are being taken in
case a withdrawal from Trieste and Dali
malta becomes essential. Another Rome
dispatch says navigation of the Northern
Adriatic has become dangerous because
of the mines laid by the Austrians as a
defence against a possible Anglo-French
naval attack.

Gondon Times Special to The Washing
ton HeraldO
London, Aug. 16.-From many sources
have come clear indications that the gen.
eraI advance Of the allies against the
Austro-German forces has begun. 1t is
not only in the west, but also in the east
and south of the vast theater Of war that
a collision is impending.
The Russians already are in East Prus-
STA and Galicia, and the second Russian
army, already 500, 900 strong, is nearly
ready to move forward against Germany.
These two Russian armies will grow
steadily in numbers week by week, and
soon we shall know whether the Russians
are making their chief effort in the north
or south.
We must net expect the Russians to be
very quick on their feet. The hanks Of
these great Russian armies in Poland are
threatened from East Prussia on the
right and from Galicia on the left These
threats have to be dealt with before the
advance toward Berlin can begin. Large
forces Sse necessary for this purpose.
The n ssians are gradually making
their prs 4nce felt Before long their
doings Y ~ become exceedingly impor-
centrated upon battlefield which
stretches practically from the North Sea
to the Swiss frontier, go miles long.
Here great events are impending.
When the German contraction was un-
veiled, It was found to extend some
what more to the north than has been
expected Had the Germans obtained
a clear run through Belgium this fact
might have gained for them an initial
advantage.
The priceless valor of LieGe and the
Belgian army discounted this expected
success and gave time to the French
general staff to amend their disposi-
tfons. Every French corps practically
has been moved one peg further to the
northward. The German army was not
able to prevent this nor were the Austro-
German allies able to impede in any
way the transported troops by sea In
the Mediterranean or elsewhere.
As a consequence, the Franco-Belgian
allies are now in a good military posi-
ton.

EATEN BY CANNIBALS.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Aug. IA
While excavating on Brechin Point, near
Nanaimo, H. B. Greave unearthed the
bones Of a skeleton which are belieVedNto
be those OF a white man buried over one
hundred years ago.
The skeleton which was buried in about
three feet Of earth. was surrounded by
clam shells and other evidences of an
Indian clam feast Since the remains
were buried a large cedar tree has grown
over the place.
Residents of the neighborhood beIievs
that the skeleton is the bones of one Of

Bhlans sometimes get separated into
squads Of ten or twelve and become
famished for food. The natives won't

Now for the three typical incidents:
Today eight Uhlans were brought into
Diest. Their captors, who rode bicycles,
remarked to me:
You don't need a rifle Bread and
water are enough"
About l o'clock. five more Uhlans
were reported near the railway station.
The commandant Lieut.. VandooeEen,
took out his watch and said to two
soldiers: " give you fifteen minutes
to fetch them in"
Later in the day thirty more Uhlans
were discovered in the neighborhood OF
the telephone lines and patrols rounded
them up.
It Is astounding-the spirit Of these
people. They are confident of victory
and that is half the battle.

There has been incessant activity but
no important fights along the front of
either army today. Germans have been
busy making trenches-"digging them
selves in"-the soldiers call it. They are
beginning to take the Belgians ser

The three following incidents would
be incomprehensible unless you real
lied that the army front in Belgium
alone, from Diest to Longwy. on the
French-Luxemburg frontier. is exactly
100 miles long.
The main body Of the German army
is supposed to be between Liege and

and has to be fed chiefly by moving
army kitchens. This is an incredible
