peaceful. 4 thousand years ago,
the nations of the earth were fight
ing almost all the time. Beginning
perhaps with the close Of the Thirty
Years War in 1648, the nations be-
gan to take breathing spells, and
the breathing spells have steadily
grown longer and wider 1t is prob
able that after this war there will be
a longer breathing spell than ever
before, and in that time the nations
may attain the degree Of wisdom
necessary to enable them to make
an agreement for universal peace. If
they make this agreement, they will
disarm. But disarmament will not
keep them peaceful. If the war
fever heats their veins with fighting
blood to a greater degree than rea-
son can control, they will fight, if
they have to turn the implements of
peace into weapons.
Its the Stars opinion that i'm
proved weapons preserve the peace
immunity there are big DULLES who
would manhandle weaker men if
they were not afraid of being stopped
by a bullet, and there have been a
dozen times in the last twenty years
when one European nation would
have invaded another if it hadn t
| been for the others preparedness
against invasion. individuals main
tain peace among themselves by
| laws passed by men who are cool
! headed and peaceful at the time they
frame the laws. These same indi-
viduals often see times when they
would break the laws they helped to
pass if they could do so safely. The
time comes to some strong men
when they are so wronged or so ar
rogant that they break the law
either because they are too angry to
care for consequences or because
they can do so with impunity. Such
time has come to Germany and
Austria. Their own people say they
fight because they have a righteous
cause and must fight now or be
crushed later Their enemies say
they are arrogant in their strength
and believe they can whip all theil
enemies and divide up their territor
les. The result of the war will no
prove which side is right. 1t viii
only prove which is the strongest.

THE ALLIES

There is joy among the vampires
That are scattered thru the land
From the shores that fringe the
Baltic,
To the Great Seas sunny strand;
For they've heard the gladstone It'd
ings,
Shouted through the gloom afar,
That the Christian kings of Europe
Have proclaimed themselves at
war.
There is rapture in the legions
OF disease and pestilence,
From the yawning wilds of Russia
To the last French coast defense;
For the vaunted Christian nations
Have resorted to the sword,
And are marching forth to battle
In the name of God, the Lord
There is bliss among the vultures,
And the maggots and the flies,
From the fields along the Danube
To the soil the Teutons prize;
For they know that while the carnage
Lasts, and the devils rule the day,
Death will give into their keeping
Whom the Christian soldiers slay

Open Order Tactics Not in Favor i'm

Miami Metropolis: More potent
than any other factor in the speedy
humbling of Germany on land will
be the use by the armies of that
country of the mass formation, &C
cording to A. A. Boggs, who has
been keeping in touch with develop
ments of military tactics. Mr.. Boggs
spent years in Germany in studying

the American ambassador to st.
Petersburg, and has been abroad
since.
while not surprised to learn that
in the seige of Liege the Germans
used the mass formation, 1 was in

was the case" said Mr.. Boggs. 81
was informed by an American officer
few years ago that Germany had
tried out the open formation and was
not able to make a success of the
new organization because the Ger
man soldiers depend too much upon
their officers
Mr.. Boggs explained that after the
Boer war, in which the Beers demon
strated so clearly the advantages of
the open formation in attacking mod
ern artillery, most of the nations Of
the world have adopted this plan of
organization. In using mass forma-
ton, shell may kill several times
as many men than in open forma-
ton, and Mr.. Boggs believes tina;
fact accounts largely for the awful
slaughter at Liege.
''In German industrial life as well
as in military life organization is the
keynote said Mr.. Boggs. Every
man is trained to receive his orders
from the man next higher up, and
to do nothing upon his own initia-
tive. He is simply a cog in the vast
machine. AS result of this princi-
pie and this system, the Germans dc
not fight as we'll when scattered apart
as in open formation. He misses the
guiding hand and the directing voice
of his superior officer. He does not
make a good individual fighting
unit. in open formation every mar
must have initiative and be able Il
fight independently of all others. II
this formation the character of the
Boer soldiers enabled them to figh
most successfully. Most OF then
were farmers. accustomed to carry
ing on their own operations upol

tiers Here Available for Trans.
atlantic Service.

Statistics giving the number Of
American officers available for the
merchant marine were sent TO Wash
ington last night by Dudley Field Ma
lone, Collector of the Port. in response
to a request sent him Friday by the
Department Of Commerce. Mr.. Ma
lone's report stated that there were
available at this port sixty-ive mas
ters, six chief mates, eight second
mates. two third mates, 1T chief en-
gineers, forty-hve first assistant engl-
neers, five second assistant engineers
and four third assistant engineers.
The collectors instructions we're to
ascertain the number Of men in these
classes licensed for ocean service, es-
pecally with transatlantic experience.
Although no explanation of the re-
quest was made, it is generally sup
posed that the report is for use in the
deliberations on the pending registry
bill.
Mr.. Malone made personal tour OF
the docks and steamships in port TO
acquaint himself with conditions. He
said that every precaution was being
taken to safeguard shipping interests
without regard to nationality. Mr.. Ma
lone said he had placed ten customs
guards where ordinarily there is only

der the existing conditions.

Septuagenarian's Case Forgot

Appeals to PoormaSter.

John Plotz, septuagenarian, who is
living with his aged wife in AFFECT
poverty on Palisade av., Jersey C;ty,
sustained by contributions from the
city's Door fund, has entered suit for
$4,000 against John Lsngenegger, a

Plotz was arrested and lodged in the
Hudson County Jail at Jersey City on
March 26, 1911, IN complaint Of Lam
genegger. He remained there fifteen
months. Release came when the at
tention of a Supreme Court justice
was directed to the long imprisonment
owing to inability to furnish bail. An
investigation was made, and it was
found he had been incarcerated on a
civil process and the matter had been
forgotten.
Langenegger was induced 10 with

the arrest of Langenegger in Hscken-
sack for alleged fraud, but the grand

Friends from Hills Holiday Without

Then and now pleasure supplanted
business for one day, and the descend
ants of the original ploughmen know
how to have pleasure. The tango took
to the woods, while the old-fashioned
dances were given the preference on
the sand or the pavilions along the
shore front. Old and young joined
in without regard for the fitness Of
things. Everything goes on Big Sea
Day.
Old and young went into the surf
also. and some Of the bathing costumes
were marvels of the art. This is the
one day when the borough authorities
lock up the censor and let the farmer
do his worst. Overalls and jumpers,
recently doing service in the hay field,
got a bath in salt water, while the
creations OF mother and the girls were
all originals. No two were alike.
The wash feature of the day over,
there was feasting, more dancing,
traficking with the vendors who know
that price is not considered on this
day, a little fishing and then home
ward. Many new whip cracked over
the back Of Dobbin as that faithful
animal wendell his weary way with
sleeping Jersey farmers in the carry
all.

PEACE TIDINGS RISE

Commemoration Service of the
Generals Funeral Held
on Heights.

Let us have peace" was the plea
sent 10 the warning nations OF Europe
yesterday from the memorial service
Al Grants Tomb by the German
American Peace Society, participating
ian the commemorstion OF the twenty
ninth anniversary of the funeral OF the
Civil War general. These words formed
the basis Of the address Of DR.. Ernst
Richard. OF Columbia University.
ooh. il they could only reach the
ears Of those who have the power 70
stay the hands ready to strike, ne
ssid. "and could make their hearts
yibrate with the generous spirit OF the
great man who sent out TINS message
until they cannot refrain their tongues
from repeating IL.
"Oh, II the vision so often spread
before our eyes could become the
truth, and the armies arrayed Tor
battle would throw down their arms
and greet one another with the glorl-
Gus message that goes forth from TINS
sacred monument-'Let US have peace.
"Iou may hear the 'Wacht am
Rhein' or the 'Marseillaise' or some
other national hymn in these days, and
instincts Of primitive passion may
make themselves felt in the singers,
but let the band strike up The Star
Spangled Banner and they all will join
with the same enthusiasm and the
same spirit Of love in our national
song. and before their minds eye will
rise the stars and Stripes with that
grand message us have peace ="
Among those at the service was the
Rev. DR. +. B. H. Browne, OF Boston,
the only surviving pallbearer at Cen
eral Grants funeral. DR.. Browne has
rot missed a year since 1885.

GRAIN MEN TAKE HOPE
Bank Seeks to Establish Me-
dunn for Foreign Exchange.

The action of the National City
Bank toward establishing an interna-
tional clearing house here is expected
TO relieve the grain merchants and
producers of foodstuffs who have been
unable TO negotiate foreign bills of ex-
change. The board of managers of the
Produce Exchange yesterday appealed
to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
to take action through the medium Of
the banks.
While the move made by the Ma
tional City Bank is independent OF the
appeal TO the government authorities,
il is said when the plans become effec-
tive it will tend to facilitate the nego-
liability Of foreign exchange TO large
degree. Until ocean shipments can be
resumed the grain merchants want to
obtain loans on inland cargo bills of
lading and terminal warehouse receipts
as collateral.
District Attorney Whitman has be-
gun an investigation looking toward the
prosecution under Section $50 of the
Penal Code of any persons who may
conspire to arbitrarily increase the
price of any food product. The crime
is a misdemeanor, with a penalty of
years imprisonment, or a fine of 5000,
or both. 1t was said at the District
Attorneys Office yesterday that no evil
dence of such a conspiracy had as yet
been obtained.

SALVATION ARMY
MEN IN DANGER
Colonel Richard Holz Mar
rowly Escapes Drafting
in Germany.

Accounts OF the experiences of some
Of the delegates who left this country
a few weeks ago TO attend the inter-
national congress of the Salvation
Army, in London, and then travelled
10 various parts of the Continent, are
now trickling back to this side.
OF the seven hundred who crossed
about two hundred are supposed TO be
still on the Continent. One hundred
are Scandinavian-Ameri who were
to go to Stockholm to attend a con-
gress there. A large number were af-
terward expected to visit Germany.
The experience of at least one of these
is now known here in garbled form.
II is that of Colonel Richard Holz,
who is in charge of the southern prov
ince Of the Salvation Army, with head
quarters at Philadelphia.
In some way he got to Bremen, and,
as he is a German, the authorities
wished 10 force him to serve in the
army. However, through the efforts
of the American Consul-Holz is an
American citizen-the Salvation Army
officer was able to escape drafting.
He then went TO France, but here his
German appearance in time brought
him before the muzzles of French
rifles. Through proof that he was not
a spy he escaped execution.
Colonel Olaf Nilsson, who left here
in charge Of one hundred Scandinavian
Americans, was to have been in Stock
holm on July 21, and was expected
to 60 TO Germany. He is commander
of the northumberland forces
in this country. Nothing has been
heard from him. Major Berg, of Colo
mel Wilson's staff. is former lieuten-
ant in the Swedish army, and the su-
thorities here expect him to offer his
services in case Sweden should be
forced into the conflict.
Colonel Henry Reinhardt, financial
secretary of the army, is supposed to
be in France. There are fears for his
safety, as he looks like a German, al
though he is a Swede.
Colonel Z. j. Parker, Eastern social
secretary, and Brigadier W. s. Barker,
property secretary, have been in Ger
many, but a cable message was re-
ceived from them yesterday saying
they were in Rotterdam and hoped
to sail in a short time.
Colonel A. S. Damon, field secretary,
is also in Europe. staff Captain Jacob
Hirschler is just back from Budapest,
but had no trouble in getting over, as
war had not broken out when he
started.
Commander Evangeline Booth made
a speech at army headquarters, in
West 14th ST., the other day, in which
she said that the French and Germans
who accompanied each other to Europe
a few weeks ago and tried to Guido
each other in polite attentions might
even now be fighting against each
other in the field. Miss Booth takes
the position that the Salvation Army
members object to war, but when
forced into conflict through the de-
mand of their country must serve.

CHINESE FARMER
SEEKS RECEIVER
While Raising Vegetables in
Florida for Firm Colleagues
Juggled Accounts, He Says.

A Chinese farmer, the first ever to
appear as plaintiff in the Supreme
Court, came up from Elkton, Fla,
and applied yesterday for the appoint
ment Of receiver for the firm of Wah
Sun & Co., of IA Pell st.
His name was Chu Balm. He said
that in 1911 he had joined in partner
ship with eighteen Cinnamon in a
wholesale and retail grocery business.
He asserted that he had contributed
$500 out of total of $4,000, and was
to get 10 per cent of the profits.
Leaving the business in the hands
Of Chu Way and Lung Lin, Chu Balm
saws he went to Florida to raise vege-
tables for the firm. When he got no
pay for vegetables shipped, he came
up to look over the company's books,
but found, he alleges, that no entries
had been made between February IA
and May II. He wants an accounting
made by the Wah Sun company.
