Berlin is Celebrating

Berlin, Sept. 4, (via wireless to the
Associated Press by way of station at
Sayville, L. I--Berlin is permanently
decked with flags Confidence prevails
that nothing can stay the victorious
advance of the western armies. Major
Moraht, the military expert of the
Tageblatt, expects that the armies Of
Duke Albrecht and the crown prince
will soon reach Chalons and Verdum
which can be easily mastered without
delaying the advance.
These towns have lost their strate-
gio importance. Toule and Epinal, capi-
tai of the department of Vosges may
delay the armies of Prince Ruprecht
and General Won Heeringgen, but this
is unimportant Raids in upper AL
SAGE are to be expected, while Belfort
is in the hands of the French But
this is without significance so far as
the general result is concerned.
The Lokal Anzeiger points out that
tho taking by the Germans of Lafere
and Laon almost without blow means
the capture of a position on the line
where the population had been reas-
sured, and which line the latest Eng
lish papers received here asserted
would hold out long against the Ger
mans. 1t is now believed that Aus
trian motor batteries, each consisting
of two 12-inch guns mounted in auto
mobiles, have been cooperating with
the German heavy artillery in the re-
duction of northern fortresses. The
mobility and accuracy of the fire of
these batteries is highly praised by
headquarters and the special cores
pondents. ..,qssr

Dispatches are Genuine

New York, Sept 4.-In view of the
fact that doubts have been expressed
as to the genuineness of messages re-
ceived from Germany at the Sayville
wireless station, a careful study of
tbs original of the foregoing dispatch
to the Associated Press, containing
as it does certain indicia, used only
by the Associated Press, and other
matter in the text, establishes its
genuineness. The message was filed
in Berlin early today and was sent
in accordance with the instructions
trainmitted to the Berlin bureau by
wireless on Wednesday last.

London, Sept. 4.-The Post Petro-
grad correspondent wires that prison
ers brought to the Russian base re-
ported that part of the Russian forces
entered Lemberg quite in accordance
with the plan of the commander-in-
chief.
The Austrians, according to these
reports, opened the last stage of the
weeks conflict around Lemberg by
determined attack on the Russians be-
tween Kubla, Lubin and Kholm About
i12O miles north of Russian territory
the attacks failed and the Russians
assumed the offensive, the Austrian
army retiring southward, and receiv-
ing terrible punishment from the purA
suing Russians.
The next day the Russian army NOV
cd forward along the whole 200 miles
of frontier to about 40 miles southeast
of Lemberg. All along the line the
Russians attacked steadily and when
the second Austrian army. which was
posted east of Lemberg, broke and
fled. the Russians captured in the inn
mediate vicinity of Lemberg another
score of guns. The forward movement
of the Russians continued without in
corruption, the Austrians having en-
trenched in strong position west of
Lemberg at Gorodski, IS miles back,
on which to retire when forced past
Lemberg.

victory before Lemberg there can be

Boxing Is Upset
The war abroad which involved
England has upset the elaborate plan
for a season of amateur and profes-
sional bouts far more ambitious than
anything heretofore attempted by the
British ring promoters, Several new
boxing stadiums were under construc-
ton, the money being raised by the
sale of stock with ticket privileges. In
fact there was every indication of a
boom in boxing which would necessi-
tate a firm handling of the situation
BY those who have controlled the
sport in past years. To this end the
National Sporting club had planned
to cooperate with the army and navy
toward the formation Of board of
control to supervise all reputable
matches.
The control board had it been form
ed would have named referees and
officials whose Judgment could not
be appealed from. A ban would also
have been put on the kidney punch
and the spine jarring chop on the
hack Of the neck, which detract from
rather than add to the science of box
ing, Dishonest promoters would have
been denied recognition. The late
boxing boom gave promoters an ex-
ceptional chance to foist ridiculous
matches on the public. and the real
sport element felt that something
should be done to put boxing on a
clean sportsmanlike basis.

GERMAN SHIPS


such a historic fight, now two days
old, has come through from any
source is regarded as remarkable,
even in these days when virtually all
springs of information are uncer Of
ficial seal.
The French official communications
contain an utter absence of pessi-
mism and they are generally regarded
as indicating that the situation of the
allies is far from being as bad as
might be conjectured by superficial
observers, judging from the stereotyp-
ed announcements of retirements.
Some correspondents go so far as to
suggest that the invaders of the
French territory now are at a stand
still.

Berne, Switzerland, that German
force under General Won Deimling
has been obliged to take refuge in
Switzerland to avoid capture by the
French, has not been made
Asquith Makes Appeal
In an appeal to the nation to join
the colors, made by Premier Asquith
in Guild hall today, the speaker said
he recognized that the present was
only the "early stages of what is go
ing to be a protracted struggle" The
premier also made this statement:

and comfort in whatever direction
look"
Calls Germans Buccaneers
1--WE now find ourselves involved
with the whole strength of this en-
pire in bloody arbitrament of might
versus right" the premier declared,
'that has been entered into with
clear judgment and a clear cons
cience."
what would have been our place
among the nations if we had been
base enough or so paralyzed in our
sense of honor and duty as to be false
to our word and faithless to our
friends? Friends we should be, stand
ing by with folded arms and with
such countenance as we could COM
mand while this small and unprotect-
ed state, Belgium, was defending her
vital liberties and making a heroic
stand against overwhelming forces"
Continuing, Premier Asquith de-
tailed the heroic efforts of the Belgian
forces. He mentioned the siege of
Liege and enumerated countless out
RACES on the part of what he termed
"bucanneering adventurers. He de-
clsred that the greatest crime against
civilization was the sacking of Lou
vaine.
"This shameless holocaust" the pre-
mier continued, was performed by
blind barbarian vengeance. Sooner
than stand aside, we would see this
country of ours blotted out of the
pages of history
The British prime minister declar
ed that the invasion of the Germans
was the first step in a great attempt
to crush the. freedom and autonomy Of
the free states of Europe.

Watch Carefully
the ChtLd's Diet
Start Them Off Right With a
Good LaxatfOe and Then
Watch Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give 1t in
digestion, and urge 1t to take more
of what is quickly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this is not meant a
physic or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any
thing like salts, pills, etc. What the
child requires Is simply n small dose
of the gentlest of medicines, such as
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which,
In the opinion Of thousands of watch
full mothers, is the ideal remedy for
any child showing q tendency to con-
stipation. So many things can hap
pen to q constipated child that care
Is necessary. Colds, piles, head
aches, sleeplessness and many other
annoyances that children should not
have can usually be traced to con-
stipation.
Many OF Americas foremost fam
lilies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some member OF the family may
need it, and all can use it. Thou
sands indorse 1t, among them Mrs.
NJ. e. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa,
who is never without it in the house.

POWER OF CUSTOM.

Three lawyers were discussing in
my presence Yesterday the distress
ing delays in legal actions. All gave
their unqualified assent to this state
ment made by one of them whose
family antecedents include Justice
OF the United States Supreme Court.
ANY Philadelphia judge who wish
ed to do so could without any change
5n any law, expedite business to the
extent of trying at lease two cases
where he now tries one"
why isn't IL done?" [ inquired
The reply was that 1t seems easier
Co follow an established rule.
49, Bismark in his memoirs told of see
Ing a Russian soldier doing sentry
duty in the midst of nice grass plot
at St. Petersburg. 1t seemed odd and
he started an inquiry. After long re-
search the German statesman found
that the czarina 100 years before had
seen a flower blooming in early spring
at that spot and requested a soldier
to guard it for her.
Once set In motion. the Russian
army kept that place under military
protection night and day for CEN
tufy, although no flower had existed
there all that time.

fact that the figures will appear
larger than any heretofore submitted
by this paper, but, nevertheless, they
can be proven.
1T has been stated that IL the State
undertook to take charge of the food
fish caught in the licensed nets of the
state 1t would secure an income of at
least 100000 u year, but those figures
were based on q catch taken in about
q hundred nets. New evidence shows
that, while these nets harvested So
100000 pounds of fish year, that was
only one-third Of the amount of fish
caught within New Jersey waters.
1t has been discovered that the
purse nets operated from boats that
hail from New York caught 90, 000, 600
pounds of wealSflsh and bluefiSh and
fish of other species from the waters
of New Jersey last year and not q
pound of it was landed on our shore.
On the contrary, it was taken over to
New York and sold, in many in
stances to the dealers of New Jersey.
Not one penny was derived by this
State either for licenses or any other
manner On the other hand, this
enormous catch was taxed in New
York along with 30,000000 of pounds
shipped from the pound nets.
The Star has learned that there are
fully 1000 nets in the State that no
record whatever is kept of, ana their
entire market catch runs into mil
lions of pounds. A conservative es-
innate places the entire catch of fish
in the waters of the State of New
Jersey at 60,000,000 pounds annually.
These figures have been gathered
from conversations with men who
have flshed for years and who keep
in touch with Market conditions at
all times
Many fishermen have stated that If
the State will exact a small fee OF
two cents a pound on the fish caught
in New Jersey it will receive an in
come of at least s1,200,000 year, and
it Is their intention to prove this at
the hearing next Monday. Such evil
dence is sure to bear fruit, and The
Star will make an effort to pile such
evidence before the committee

MARKET CONTROL

to be saved at least eight cents a
pound on every pound of fish pur-
chased.
1t must be remembered that the
State of New York permits but about
fifty nets to operate and they are in
Long Island Sound, while 5000 nets
are operated in New Jersey. Hence
New Jersey waters are to supply the
people of New York with fish.
People Anxious to Learn.
Former Assemblyman Pinkaart, of
Passaic county. has addressed four
meetings in his county during the past
week, each one called expressly to
hear him tell of the abuse of the
fisheries and of the unfair deal that
the people of New Jersey are receiv-
ing. One of the points he makes is
the very thing that the State of New
York is now going to put into effect
That is State control of food in such
q manner as to guarantee to the peo-
pie a square deal.
When Mr.. Pinkaart addressed the
Peoples Forum of Passaic, he was
asked what, in his opinion, would be
the best method to adopt for the
preservation of the food fish and also
to assure cheaper rates for the people.
He advised the adoption of the sug-
gestion made by the Evening Star,
which is embodied in the bill now In
the hands of the Assembly committee
on fish and game. That provides for
a commission to be appointed by the
governor that will have the power to
take charge of the fisheries and to
arrange for the purchase of the cater
from the fishermen and then to be
sold to the public through the State
the State to derive profit from each
pound.
Producer, Consumer and State Profit.
This Is just what Governor Glynn
proposes to do, but he will be COM
PEELED to first purchase the food from
the producer, who Will own 1T, and
then arrange for it's sale. The only
ones to benefit will be the producer
and the consumer. Under the pro-
posed plan of the Evening Star the
producer, consumer and the State will
profit.
Ever since The Star began to show
the people where the State can derive
possible deficit and where the State
could be placed on a strong financial
footing without injuring its people or
subjecting them to further taxation
the representatives of this paper have
been busy gathering evidence to pre-
sent when the opportunity presents
itself, which no doubt will be at the
hearing in Trenton on Monday,
March %. This evidence will no
doubt surprise many, owing to the
