bassy. under it's obligations to repre-
sent German and Austrian interests
in France, is looking after about 3d.
900 persons who are detained as alien
enemies in eleven localities in France.
These were Germans and Austrians
living in the country at the outbreak
of the war. The French government
provided special trains going to neu-
trail frontiers for two days after hos
tilities had begun, and all those re-
naming in France after those days
were obliged to report themselves to
the police and go to those towns in
France to which they were assigned.
The state department at Washing

formerly minister to Panama, to the
embassy here as special agent to have

Herman Ridder Protests
DR.. EIiOt's Assertion That
u. S. Should Assist Allies

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.--H erman Rid
der protests in the Staats-Zeitung
against the reported statement of DIR.
Charles w. Eliot to the Boston Bust
ness Women's Club. recently that the
United States is called upon to go 10
the assistance of the allies if they
should become exhausted in the con-
fiict against Germany. He expresses
surprise that the United States moral
support was to be captured only as
a preliminary to securing our mill
tary support" and adds:
II call attention to DIR. Eliot's re-
marks only as warning to the
American people. They carry no
more weight than the earlier recrimi-
nations lodged against German by
their author DR.. Eliot cannot claim
the right to speak for the United
States, but as an honored leader of
American thought, his words have a
double significance They will be sig
nificant both in this country and in
England. We cannot Go better. there
fore than to remind our cousins
across the water that the suggestion
of military support conveyed in DIR.
Eliot's words has no substantial basis
in fact.
I'VE do not want war. Our feeling
toward the European conflict is one
primarily of regret thatsit ever was
made necessary Our great desire Is
that it may come to an early end
And least of all do we wish to become
involved in it. Separated from the
scenes of action by thousand leagues
of ocean, secure in our alliance with
the Atlantic, we still have suffered
from the folly of Europe. Shall we
cut loose from that alliance and pre-
cipitate ourselves into the fray? DR..
Eliot says Yes The American
people say MOI
Wherever our sympathies may lie,
our interests are unquestionably
bound up with peace. Were Ger
many the monster which DR. Eliot
paints her, would still say that the
war in Europe is concern of Eu-
rope, and that our interference there
in would be but the adding of fuel
to fire already great enough"

EMBASSY IN PARIS
CARES FOR PRISONERS OF WAR

Siavonia and Dalmatia. He happened
to be at Bichy when the war began.
He is allowed to remain inahis hotel
and has entire freedom of movement
within the town. A good many hum
dreds of German and Austrian sub
jects have been allowed to remain
where they were, in each case because
of special reasons. Other hundreds
upon the representation of the Ameri-
can embassy have been allowed to
leave the country, in each case also
for special reasons, usually those Of
ill-health.
But there are still about $4,000 who
had to go to the detention camps.
These are usually in barracks for
merly occupied by troops. There Is
a. good deal of crowding, and the food
il probably about what the French
soldiers receive. There appears to be
every intention on the part of the
French government TO treat these in
voluntary hostages as well as they
can under the necessities OF war.
Switzerland has undertaken to con-
duet the exchanges Of prisoners. and
among the first that are being ex-
changed are French people caught in
Germany and Austria by the war
and Germans and Austrians detained
in France. Germans and Austrians
are taken by French police to the
Swiss border and turned over there
to Swiss agents, who in turn transfer
French citizens to the French repre-
sentatives.

he said, "but that's not what's wor-

Among the places visited by Santa
Claus while he was here today was
the shop of the Lionel Manufacturing
Company, at 1863 Ogden street. He
said that the large orders he has left
with the concern would have to be
hurried along. He was assured that
everything was being rushed and that
the $50 employees of the plant were
working four nights week and half
a day Sundays to get out his rush

GERMANY HAD TO
FIGHT, THEY SAY
Newarker Among Those Who
Place Blame of War on
Other Nations.

Gustav Henzl, of us South Thir-
teenth street; August Kattermann, of
Paterson; Gustav Rothe, of Weehaw-
Ken, and Frederick Menzenhauer, of
Jersey City, were among the 1900 pas
sengers on the steamship Noordam,
which sailed from Rotterdam on Sep
TENDER "a. who have joined in a signed
statement placing the blame for start
ing the war on others than the Ger
mans. Their protest, which Is printed
in pamphlet form, contains the state
ment:
We leave Europe with the firm con-
Viction that Germany has been the
victim of plot which forced her 10
war. and at the same time caused her
to appear as the primary instigator
and promoter of the terrible conhag-
ration now raging in Europe. The
proof for the existence of this plot is
founded upon three considerations:
Firstly, the character of the kilograms
exchanged as the crisis was impend-
Ing; secondly, the secret mobilization
on the part of Russia, accompanied
by protestations that no mobilization
was taking place: thirdly, the mani
testify unfair treatment that Germany
is receiving at the hands of her foes,
i. e., their persistent and malicious
suppression of the truth and the
wholesale spreading of false reports
THE protest would be incomplete
without a tribute to the admirable
spirit which prevails throughout the
German empire. Convinced that their
cause Is just, with firm confidence in
the help and protection of the AL
mighty, the people stand united to a
man indomitably resolved to conquer
or die. This war, however, is not for
them a war of conquest, but a strug-
gle for national existence The scenes
which one witnesses as he passes
through this great empire cannot but
elicit the highest admiration and
deepest sympathy for their cause"

SAY WAR ABROAD
WILL AFFECT THE
! POOR OF NEWARK
Already There Is Great Increase
in Number of Appeals
for Help.

That the European war has Gre
ated financial depression which bids
fair to cause immense suffering to the
unemployed of Newark during the
coming winter Is the statement is
sued by the board of directors of the
Bureau of Associated Charities. The
board held a meeting yesterday after
noon at 13 Central avenue, when the
present conditions were considered
and the problems likely TO develop
during the winter were discussed.
The board issued statement show
ing that during the past four months
the appeals for help from distressed
families were more than 100 per
cent. increase in the number of cases
in the corresponding months of 1913.
In June, July, August and Septem-
Der of this year, 1854 cases We're re-
ported. During a similar period last
year 1893 cases were reported
The statement issued by the direc-
tors explains that at time when the
charities bureau needs large subscrip-
lions the conditions tend to decrease
in a large measure their ordinary
source of funds The mayor and
Board of Works are requested to pro-
vide work for as many men as posi-
Bile this winter by carrying on pro-
posed public improvements. The in
dividual builder and property owner
is also asked not to postpone any
contemplated work or alterations this
winter so as to lessen the number of
the army of the unemployed
The proposition of raising public
relief fund is frowned upon by the
directors, who explain that such a
fund would attract and create de-
pendence and entail greater harm
than good. An appeal is made to the
private individual to make some Of
fering to the bureau during the COM
ing months, so as to provide sufti-
cient funds fol the demands which
will be made.
Arthur w. MacDougall, secretary
of the Bureau of Associated Charities.
read a report of meeting of social
workers in New York which he at
tended during the first few days or
the month The secretary declared
that the situation in Newark and the
unpromising outlook for the winter
also exists in New York. The charit-
able organizations in that city are
also requesting the city authorities to
carry on public improvements so as
to provide work for the many men
who will otherwise be out of employ
ment.
A communication was received from
the State Commission for the Blind
asking the bureau to cooperate In
the opposition to the international
Sunshine Society. This society con-
ducts a home for the blind at Sum-
nit, and several scandals have grown
out of the alleged maladministration
of the affairs of the home The di-
rectors of the bureau decided to COM
municate with State Commissioner
of Charities and Corrections Joseph
p. Byers and request him to join the
movement in having the corporation
charter of the Sunshine Society in
this State revoked.

Mining of Neutral Seas
Legitimate, Jurists Assert

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Times
naval correspondent, in dealing with
the submarine menace to British
warships in the North Sea, says that
it has been pointed out by interna
tional jurists that it is perfectly with
in the rights of belligerent nations to
close entirely neutral shipping of
areas of water in which operations of
war are being carried out. This may
be done to safeguard the interests of
neutrals themselves and also to pre-
vent their interference with the nee
essary conduct of hostilities.
