With the Potomac higher than it has
been for several years, and local fish
ing at standstill for the present, Wash
ington sportsmen are turning their
eyes to other waters. All signs point
to pilgrimage to Chesapeake Beach
by lot of our pronounced devotees of
the rod next Sunday. There are half
dozen veterans who spend one day a
week there, whether the sport in the
Potomac is good or bad. and so far
this year they have had very good sue
cess.
The best fishing on the bay is gener-
ally found off North Beach, about a
mile up the shore from the railroad sta
tion. At this time of the year rock
arc generally biting, while some fair
sized spots, croakers, and other salt
water fish have already been taken.
Later in the season there will be plenty
of taylor. and these always furnish
good sport.
The funniset thing about the big
fish around here is that it usually takes
three or four men to catch them,'' re-
marked one of Washington's most ar
dent amateur fishermen the other day
when fishing yarns were in order.
Every time there is a real big fish
hooked in the Potomac. Tom rushes up
to me and tells me what q hard time
he had landing 1t. Then l meet Dick
and he spins a yarn about what a fight
the fish gave him: and finally along
comes Harry and assures me that he
and none other landed the big fellow.

KAISER HAS WAR
Won, SAYS ENVOY
FROM GERMANY
Won Bernstorff Admits Troops
Have Withdrawn.
SEA LOSSES WERE EXPECTED
Declares Teuton Defeat on Land 10
Out Of the Question and Says
That Nation 10 Ready for
Peace Terms.

New York, Sept. Count Johann
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor. after surveying the European sit.
uation as revealed In the days news
and In dispatches from Berlin by way
OF Sayville. L. l., today, gave an In
terview which shows that he believes
the crisis for Germany is past.
The aims of the general staff are
attained. France is defeated and the
battle ground in western Europe Is in
such condition that Germany can
now recall great numbers Of troops to
meet the Russian invasion, according
to Count Won Bernstorff's belief. A
resume of the ambassadors views fol-
low:
The war is won. The coalition has
been defeated in western Europe. Ger
man defeat on land is now out of the
question.
The aims Of the German general
staff have been attained. The al
lies have been SO badly and SO sud
denly worsted that Germany Is free
to withdraw, as she has begun to do,
great numbers of men to ward off the
Russian invasion.
The defeat on the seas Is acknowl-
edged with the proviso that the defeat
was to be expected, since the German
navy has always been meant simply to
defend the coast line, and that II the
English assumed the growing German
navy was meant for any other purpose
they labored under a sadly mythical
conception.
Germany did not begin the war. She
did not want the war. She is ready for
peace at any moment
Germany's victory means great ad-
vance of democracy in the empire. The
nation can never forget how the whole
people rose as one man against an un-
just attack, nor how the leader Of the
Socialists made speech amid the wild
cheers OF the Conservative party,
which stood up to man, waving their
handkerchiefs at him.
In the matter OF the policy of Ger
man warfare the ambassador made 1t
clear that Germany will stand for the
most effective use OF bombs dropping
from midair and the use OF her most
modern appliances, London being as
much subject to attack by Zeppelins as
Paris and Antwerp. No further notifl-
cation to lombard from midair Is nee
essary the ambassador holds, than the
declaration OF war. acknowledgements,
he says. should get out OF danger by
removing themselves from threatened
cities or take the consequences.

Washington Aug. 81. - Secretary
Bryans warning to Americans to
leave Europe at once was transmitted
to the Americans now on the CONT

advices from the embassies. legations
and consulates abroad that the warn

From the latest available figures
state department officials estimated
that there are about $4,000 Americans
still in Europe. The officials base
their calculations on the fact that a
week ago 10000 Americans were re-

CARRANzA is DEFIANT
ORDERS PORT OF VERA CRUZ
CLOSED.
General Funston Wires State Depart.
ment That Order May Seriously
Affect Food Supply.

Washington, Sept, 1.-Br.gadier
General Funston has reported to
Washington that Provisional President
Carranza has ordered the port OF Vera
Cruz closed. This will have a serious
effect on the city's food supply.
This new move by Carranza Is ex-
pected to cause further complications
In the situation between the United
States and Mexico.
One Of Carranza's first acts was to
cut OF the line OF communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City. He
refused to allow any trains to pass
over the railroad between the two
cities and ordered the telegraph wires
cut, according to the Information re-
ceived.
The protest sent to him by messen.
ger by Brigadier General Funston was
UNDECIDED. 1t was not until Brigadier
General Funston ordered that all the
railroad equipment at Vera Cruz, or
within the American zone of influence,
should be confiscated that Carranza
permitted the resumption Of traffic be-
tween the two cities.
