(By VIM. G. Sheppard, United Press
staff CORRESPONDENT.

London, August 29.-Winston
Churchill, first lord Of the admir-
atty, today granted me an interview
on the subject of the European war.
On my asking him about the cause he
handed the celebrated white paper
of Sir Edward f. Gray's negotiations
saying "Oh thre is the case, and all
we ask from American people is that
they should study 1t with severe and
impartial attention"
! then asked him what was the un-
derlying cause apart from the actual
steps which has led to the rupture?
He replied that the war was started
and was being maintained by the
Prussian military aristocracy, which
set no limit to It's ambition of world
wide predominance.
"In a word" he said, ut is the old
struggle of 100 years ago against
Napoleon The grouping of forces Is
different; the circumstances are diff
ferent; the occasion is different; the
man above all is Extraordinarily,
but the issue is the same. We are
in grip with Prussian militaryism.
England stands right in the path OF
this ever over growing power. Our
military is perhaps small, but is good
and it will grow. Our naval and fl
nance resources are considerable,
and with these we stand between this
mighty army and a dominion which
would certainly not be content with
European limit"
asked whether the end of the war
would see some abatement of the
struggle for eminence. Mr.. Church
Ill replied:
THAT depends on the result. If
we succeed and If, as result of our
victory Europe is rearranged as far
as possible, with regards to the prin-
ciple and nationalities, and in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the peo-
pie who dwell in the various dis
puted areas, we may look forward
with hope to a great relaxation and
easement. But if Germany wins it
will-not be a victory of the quiet, so
ber element in Germany, or of the
common people of Germany, with all
their virtues, but the victory of the
blood, OF our military schools, whose
doctrines and principles will then
have received a supreme and terri
BILE execution.
II cannot understand" he con-
tinued, why Germany has not been
contented with her wonderful prog
ress since the battle of Waterloo.
For the last half century she has
been the center of Europe; quartered
by many; feared by many; treated

Orders TO Check Russians.

BERLIN, Aug. 29.-Orders have
been issued to check the Russian ad-
vance. Troops of the third line heav-
lily reinforced by second reserves and
members of the Landsturn, are be-
ing sent eastward to the position Sc
lected by the general staff.
They will have the support of the
Austrian forces, which have been
transferred from the Servian bor-
der, and of the Austrian army corps,
which were started from Vienna
Wednesday While all information
regarding military movements are
withheld there is confidence that the
combined army will be able to hold
the lines against the Russians. The
plan of battle has been carefully
made.
Because of the immense armies in

DAMAGE IN FIRE
At PARDEE WkS.

A $4,000 dinkey locomotive was
damaged by fire between and Z
O'Clock last night at the c. Pardee
works, and the building in which 1t
was housed for the night was burned.
The damage is estimated by the fire
chiefs at $1,000.
Because of slack work only one
engine of the three has been in use
at the plant and the engineman ran
II into a small building for the
night. The fireman dumped the hot
ashes, which were thrown in front or
the structure. Whether the ashes
caused the fire or 1t was started by
the engine becoming oyerheated
could not be learned. When it was
discovered the roof of the building
was ablaze and the cab Of the en-
CINE destroyed. The building was OF
hollow tile, but all its woodwork was
destroyed. ChleIS WoltsCheCh'
Tooker and Anderson directed the
streams Of water. A link OF nose
of the Lincoln company burst when
the blaze was nearly extinguished,
The burned structure was located be
tween the open hearth building and
the rolling mill.

MAYOR MONDAY

No man has yet been selected to
seek the Democratic nomination for
mayor, it was announced in the Dem
ocratic camp this morning. An in
tended conference which was to have

was said that man would be select
ed by Monday, and that he would be
one of the three mentioned yester
day.
Thomas Christopher will receive
the support of the Democratic Or

CONTESTS FOR G. O.P.
AND DEMOCRATS AS
PETITIONS ARE IN
SEAMAN'S BILL
PASSES IN HOUSE
MINUS CLAUSES

After the strenuous efforts of
Congressman Thomas j. Scully were
successful in eliminating some of the
| objectionable features of the Sea-
mans Bill, that measure has passed
| the House of Representatives. The
congressman from the third district
was greatly interested in the bill,
since If it had been passed in it's
original form it would have meant
the stoppage of the Keansburg Pat
ten Iron steamboats, and the line of
boats stopping at Atlantic Highlands.
Representative Scully returned
home from Washington last Monday
to attend the big Democratic outing
! to Coney Island, but he received
word that the vital measure was to
come up and he returned to the cap
| ital imm ediately.
Late yesterday, without the for
mality of roll call, the seaman's
relief bill, to increase the safety of
| passengers at sea and improve the
conditions of employment Of sail
ors, passed the house and went to the
Senate
Some Of the Republicans in the
house suggested that he enactment
of the bill into law at this time might
lead to trouble with the warning
powers of Europe, and n Pacific
coast representative, Humphrey, said
that if the bill were passed in its
pI esent form 1--WE win have war with
Japan in thirty days" Although
they expressed these views, however,
the representatives did not even ask
for a roll call on the measure when
| it was called up for it's final passage.
! Section 16 of the bill is the pro-
vision that critics of the measure
fear may lead to International com
plications. In the bill arrest as Q
punishment for desertion is abol
!ished. This applies to foreign as
well as American seamen, and Sec
ltion 6 provides that ninety days at
ter the passage of the act the Presi-
dent shall give notice of intention
on the part of the United States to
terminate all treaties and conven-
tions In so far as they provide for the
arrest and Imprisonment of Ameri-
can seamen who desert in foreign
countries and foreign seamen who de-
sert in the United States. The bill
also provides that upon the end of
voyage a seaman, either American or
foreign, shall have the right to de-
mand half of the wages due him,
and If refused, in the case of for
eign vessel, sue for the cOmpensa-
tion due him in an admiralty court.

Orders Have Been Issued to
Check Russian Advance; The

DECISIVE FIGHTING YER SOON

Special by United Press Wire.
PARIS, Aug. 29.-Germany is
gathering her complete strength for
another herculean effort to pene-
trate the allied lines and open a wide
avenue for an advance on Paris. War
office advises from the north and
north east, all point to this move
ment being attempted at not less
than three points. The exhausted
German troops, which have been
leading the general assault now in
progress for more than a week, are
being replaced with fresh troops. The
regiment decimated by the French
fire have had their ranks filled up.
Just when they will strike only the
German general staff know, but al
ready indications of renewed activi-
ties have been reported to General
Joffee by the French aerial scouts.
Meanwhile the German flank and
lines of communication are again in
danger.
Rendered desperate by the report
Bf the wanton burning of Louvain
with the destruction Of its historic
buildings and priceless art treasures,
the Belgian army has left Antwerp
and is moving in force towards Brus-
sells. 1t is reported here that it has
been purely reinforced and that 1t
will separate with an English force
from Ostend. This latter may include
the noted Indian forces sent by Eng
land from her eastern empire, al
though all requests for details of
troop location are sternly frowned
on by the war office.
1t is known, however, that the gen
eral staff expects important develop
ments in Belgium which will entirely
change the general outlook Of the
present campaign.

Plan to Occupy Post Cities.


LONDON, August 29.-That the
Germans operating in western Bel
GUM have planned to occupy the
French Belgian post cities and thus
hamper the work Of the British in
keeping short lines of communication
open across the channel, but that
they have failed to accomplish their
action, is the provision taken by the
war office. The reason for failure
had been the inability to detach
enough infantry to occupy the
French department of Calais. The
German cavalry has raided through
a great section of the country and
have moved back from Ostend all
along the coast, but they have been

received here indicate that no Ger

The occupation of Ostend by Brit
