Right Prices Are Offered

NEW YORK, Aug. lin view of
the recent announcement by the
Hamburg American Line that it was
considering bona fide offers for the
purchase by Americans of some of its
vessels tied up in American waters,
inquiry was made today at the Of
fees of other German lines to deter
mine whether similar offers were be-
ing entertained. At the North Ger
man Lloyd Line this declaration was
made by it's publicity representative:
1.-THE North German Lloyd Line is
willing now, as it always has been in
the past, to sell any of It's ships If it
can get the price 't demands for
them. The present situation in Eu-
rope has nothing to do with our will
ingness to sell. We have always
been ready to sell Them
There are at present eleven ships
from the North German Lloyd Line
in American waters. Upon these the
line places an approximate valuation
of $40, 500, 900. In Pacific waters the
line has eight ships, valued, in all, at

Lane Believes War Will
Show Americans Value
of Mineral Resources

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Secre-
tary Lane believes that the effect of
the European war will be a direct
benefit to the American people in
making them realize to a greater ex-
tent the value of their mineral re-
sources. 1T is entirely possible" he
declared today, ito SO utilize these
resources and expand our industries
that the label, Made in America,
will become familiar to our own and
foreign markets.
Second only in Importance to the
food supply according to Secretary
Lane, rs the supply of the necessary
mineral products to meet require
ments One of the first effects of the
war" he says, has been to make us
realize the interdependence of ma
lions in the food supply. What we
possibly have not so fully realized is
that we are nearly as independent in
essential mineral resources, and that
the interference with manufacturing
caused by interruption of the flow OF
importations of many of the neces-
sary raw materials may be overcome
almost wholly by development of
neglected resources in our own coun-
try"
Secretary Lane believes that the
United States could very largely
make itself independent of the rest
of the world in its manufactures, the
main difficulties to overcome being

Wilson Expects by
Tomorrow to Solve
Censorship Problem

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson expects within the next
twenty-four hours to find an impair
tial plan for dealing with the ques-
ton of censoring wireless and cable
messages out of the United States to
the nations involved in the European
war He is consulting with depart
ment of justice officials and with in
ternational law experts on the sub
ject.
The President told callers today
that the chief difficulty is that cables
can deliver messages only on this
side or the other side of the ocean,
while the chief sphere of the wire
less is in mid-Atlantic. In a general
way the President followed the line
of argument presented by France,
England and Russia in protesting
against any cable censorship. Mr..
Wilson declared that he was seeking
very earnestly to find fair solution
of the difficulty.

PLAY DIRECTOR
SAID TO HAVE
ATTACKED BOY
Playground Board Investigating
Complaint Involving Charles
Greason.

The Playground Commission is to-
day investigating serious charge
against Charles Greason, director of
the Prince street playground. The
report, according to President Nicho-
las LaVecchia, states that GreaSon
hit one of the small boys at the play
ground and injured him severely.
At the present time Greason is on
a vacation, in spite of the fact that
the board several weeks ago made a
ruling that there would be no vaca-
tons during the busy season-sum-
mer
surprised over the failure of Secre-
tary j. Leonard Mason to report the
complaint to the board. AT the meet
ing of the commission last Friday
Mr.. Mason stated that he had re-
eeived several trivial complaints,
which he was going to investigate
himself
When the matter was called to the
attention of Mr. Mason he declared
that he wanted to have a talk with
Greason before he made a detailed re-
port. Greason was brought TO this
city by Mr.. Mason and was working
here some time before the Civil Ser
vice Commission realized that he was
residing in New York. He finally
moved to Newark.
Commissioner Bernard j. Owens,
chairman of the supervision commit
tee, is personally investigating the
reported attack by Greason. Presl-
dent Nicholas LaVecchia today de-
clared that If the evidence shows that
Greason ever placed his hands on the
boy, Greason will be discharged with
out further delay.
I'VE are spending our time day and
night to see that the children have a
good time at the grounds and we
will not for one minute stand for any
director to slap a child" said Mr..
LaVecchia.
This is the second week that Mr..
Greason is away. He left Saturday a
week ago. The attack took place, ac-
cording to reports, a day or two
before he left on his vacation.
At the office of the commission 1t
was stated that Greason will not be
back for a month.

GERMAN CRUISER
STOPS TO TAKE ON
COAL AT FRISCO
Larger French Man-o'-War Is
Waiting for Her Off Three
Mile Limit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE
German cruiser Leipzig, which came
into port before dawn today, moved
into Man o. War Row" later in the
day, and began to take on coal and
supplies. Contracts already had been
placed with coal, victualing, towing
and Tightening companies by the act
ing German consul
Permission in writing, however, had
not been formally requested, and as
soon as the collector of the port
learned that the coaling had been be-
gun without his authority he ordered
it stopped until the formalities had
been completed.
The acting German consul protest
ed, but the collector was firm. In
spector Hulger, he said, would exam
inc the cruisers bunkers, report how
much coal she needed to take her to
Apia and that much and no more
would be permitted her. The Leipzig
had placed an order for 700 tons.
Under the neutrality regulations the
Leipzig can take on only sufficient
coal to carry her to the nearest Ger
man port-in this case Apia, Samoa.
She must leave before 1 o'clock to-
morrow morning. Lurking in the fog
bank off the Farrallones is supposed
to be the French armored cruiser
Montcalm, vessel superior in every
thing but speed. The Leipzig was
built to make % knots and the Mont

BOOTLEGCERS
NABBED AT ARNEGARD

Schafer, N. D., Jan. 24.-Fred John
son and Taylor Murray, two itinerant
booze vendors, who dropped into
Arnegard Saturday evening, succeed
ed in convincing the authorities here
that their. souls were %pulsating with
an ambition to help operate the Irvine
plant at the state penitentiary for
awhile. They will be given a chance
TO make good at their chosen Occupa-
ton as they were promptly arrested
charged. with the crime of bootlegging.
They were brought here Immediately
after their arrest and are now gazing
at small patches of blue sky through
the Iattice-work covering on the win
dowS of the county jail.
Johnson arrived at Arnegard early
Saturday evening and was taken in
charge soon after his arrival. Murray
arrived in an automobile later in the
evening. Both men cam1 from Fair
view. Joe Lockwood, the driver Of
the car that brought Murray into the
county. was also placed under arrest
but was later discharged.
At the preliminary hearing before
e. o. Mundv. justice Of the peace, here
Monday, Murray was bound over to
district court. His bail was fixed at
81 1000. He was unable to furnish
bonds and will probably remain in
the county Jail here until the June
term Of court. Johnson waived ex-
animation. He will plead guilty and
take a chance on drawing the mini
mum sentence OF six months in tho
state penitentiary.
