EMPEROR ORDERED NO
 MORE BLOOD SHED

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-A series of state ments on the Leige situation have been published from the head-quar- ters of General Stein, according to wh;ch French officers, and perhaps also French soldiers, were sent to Lieoe before the war to instruct the Belgian troops in defense of the forts.
 Ut was impossible to protest against this" says General Stein, "Dut after the war began the con- dition had to be regarded as an in- fraction of the Belgian neutrality by France and we had to act with all speed and mobolize. Regiments were sent to the frontier and marched on Liege. Six weak brigades on q peace footing some cavalry and ar tillery too Liege. The brigade5 were mobilized at Liege and here re- ceived as their first achievements their own reserves. Two other regi ments came later.
 Our enemies thought 100000 Germans were at Liege and owing to the difficulties at the commissar- fat we were unable to advance. This was mistake; there was another reason for the pause. Now the fore ed march began and our enemies will have the opportunity to convince themselves that the German forces are well supplied with food and arms.
 "The emperor has notified us not to sacrifice another drop of German blood to capture the Liege forts. The enemy believe themselves secure in the forts, but the fire of our weakest artillery forced the forts to surren- der or quickly demolished them, bur ying the garrisons under the ruins. The Liege forts will no longer serve our enemies, but will aid the German progress"

young Ellis. the detective, and the strange lady in black silk.
 Ellis explained the circumstances briefly, being withered meanwhile by the glances of the outraged queen. There were eighteen expensive and un- set diamonds in the tray before the lady paved them over, and at the con- clusion of her examination there were seventeen.
 Therefore, 1t followed that she must have been perniciously active. The strange lady called young Ellis a low person and froZe him into a state of speechlessness; but it Is somewhat difficult to freeze head detective at Gibboney's. This latter person, who was of Irish descent, and whose Jaw protruded some distance, decided that the society leader must be searched, and, without further formalities, she was led away to the ladies' searching department.
 "In an hour the lady searchers opened the door and announced to the officials that If the lady had a diamond about her it must be buried in her heart
 There was nothing to do but re- lease the strange lady in black silk. Gibboney Company sent downtown to detective agency for a man. Detec- tive Ratty listened gravely, and finally gave orders.
 "He explained that no person should be permitted to enter the aisle upon which the case of jewels was located
 For three days nothing happened Detective Ratty stood guard, in con- pany with the head store detective. On the third day dapper young man in light blue suit, wearing gray spats and carrying a white cane, pushed open the swinging door and entered He walked straight down the forbid den aisle and paused to converse with young Ellis.
 Five minutes later Detective Ratty walked up to the newcomer, placed his hand on his shoulder, and arrested him. The stranger was instantly searched, and immediately the expen- sive diamond was found.
 Now" said Lyon, pausing and casting triumphant glance upon the group of cynical listeners. how did the detective know that this strange young man had the diamond?"
 All of the crowd, except Chick Mil Ter, looked mystitled and inquiring. During the latter part of Lyon's ! sketchy recital Chick Miller had picked up an evening newspaper and had scribbled upon the margin two words in pencil writing He tore off the bit of margin and handed it to Frank Walton, who read 1t uncompre. hendingly.
 You don't know, so it's a story" Lyon went on, after a slight pause The woman in the black silk lifted the diamond. rolled it up in a piece of gum she had been chewing. and stuck 1t under the 1ewelry-case The young man had come to retrieve the piece of

only by widespread and generous sup

success Today hundreds of thou
sands Of Belgians are homeless and
penniless refugees. Thousands of civil
lans have met a miserable death. The
whole apparatus OF economic life in
field or factory or office has been
wrecked and ruined so that the future
of Belgium is altogether beyond pro-
phecy.
There are many ways in which you
can help to avert the agony of suffer
ing which confroHts helpless Belgians
during the coming winter You can
send a donation to our fund or you can
apply to our secretary, Percy Bullen,
e6 Broadway, New York, for a collec-
ton card. He will be glad to issue
same to any responsible persons en-
closing personal references. Church
es, chapels, clubs and societies can
assist by writing for our collecting list.
Entertainment committees and places
of recreation may render great help
by sending US the proceeds of benefit
performances. In all these ways
friends everywhere are assisting
nobly.
All the money received will be
cabled to Europe before December 20.
1t is our ambition to see that no ne

Christmas.

from America to Liverpool via north Of
ireland Peaceful merchant ships have
already been blown mp with loss OF
life by this agency. The White Star
liner Olympic escaped disaster by pure
good luck and but for warnings given
-hy British cruisers other British and
neutral merchant and passenger yes
sells would have been destroyed.
These mines cannot have been laid
by any German ship Of war. They
have been laid By some merchant YES
sells flying neutral flags which have
come along the trade route as If for
purposes OF peaceful commerce and
while prOiting to the full by immunity
enjoyed by neutral merchant ships
have wantonly and recklessly endan
sered the lives of all who travel on
the sea regardless of whether they
are friend or foe, civilian or military
in character.
Mine laying under neutral flag and
reconnaissance conducted by trawlers,
hospital ships and neutral vessels are
the ordinary features of German naval
warfare.
In these circumstances having re-
gard to the great interests entrusted
TO the British navy, to the safety OF
peaceful commerce on high seas and
to the maintenance within limits Of in
ternational law of trade between neu-
trail countries. the admiralty feels it
necessary to adopt exceptional meas
ures appropriate to the novel cUndi
tons under which this war is being
waged.
They, therefore, give notice that
the whole OF the North sea must be
considered military area. Within
this area merchant shipping of all
kinds, traders of all countries, fishing
craft and all other vessels will be ex
posed to the gravest dangers from
mines which it has been necessary to
lay and from .warships searching vigi.
lantly by night and day for suspicious
craft.
All merchant and fishing vessels of
every description are hereby warned
of the dangers they encounter b. en-
tering this area except in strict az
cordance with admiralty directions,
Every effort will be made to convey
IIllS al W ACu(I al anu
to vessels on the sea, but from the
5th of November EDWARDS the admir-
atty announces that all ships passing
a line drawn from the northern point
of the Hebrides through Farce islands
to Iceland do so at their own, peril.
''Ships of all countries wishing to,
trade to and from Norway, the Baltic,
Denmark and Holland are advised to
come, if inward bound, by the English
channel and Straits of Dover. There
they will be given sailing directions
which will pass them safely as far as
Great Britain is concerned up the east
coast of England to Farne island,
whence safe route will, if possible be
given to BfHdesnaes~ ligftship. From
this point they should turn north or
south according to their destination,
keeping as near the coast as possible
Converse applies to vessels outward
bound.
by strict adherence to these routes
the commerce of all countries will be
able to reach its destination in safety
50 far as Great Britain is concerned,
but any straying even for a few miles
from the course thus indicated may
be followed by'fatal consequences"
