.FRE|GHTER PAWNEE
FIRED ON BY FLORIDA
Captain of Clyde Liner Said to
Have Misunderstood Sig
mails of Warship

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-A misun-
derStanding of signals, according to the
officers of the Clyde line steamship
Pawnee, was the reason the battleship
Florida had to fire on her before she
came to a halt in New York harbor
late Saturday evening. When this ves-
sci arrived at her dock, just above
Market street, at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, Captain Rich. who was In
command of her, refused to talk. He
said that all of the information that
would be given to the public would
have to come from the officials of the
line.
According to the story told by the
chief officer, the chief engineer and the
second mate, the Pawnee was steaming
through the Narrows when the battle
ship Florida signaled her to stop. At
this time they assert all of the lights on
the Pawnee were showing. They also
said that for some time the Florida
had been playing her searchlighttupon
the Pawnee. One of the officers said
that they did not understand the sig
nal and the vessel kept on her course.
This was about 0 o'clock.
A few minutes later, they said that
the Florida sent a shot across the bow
of the Pawnee. The engines We're then
ordered full speed ahead. When the
vessel did not stop the Florida sent a
second shot across the Pawnee's bow.
The second shot also failed to bring
the Pawnee to halt.
1t was then that the torpedo boat
Drayton was sent in pursuit of the
Pawnee. According to one of the off,
GERS of the Pawnee, she was making
about 1 8 knots an hour and was lead
ing the Drayton merry chase. At the
time the race began it is said that the
Drayton was about a mile away. Put
ting on her highest speed the Drayton
soon began to gain on the freighter
and caught her at West Bank Light,
two miles south of Swinburne Island.
She ran up alongside the Pawnee
and ordered her to stop. The Paw
nee's engines were brought to stand
still and officers from the torpedoboat
boarded her. After consultation
with Captain Rich the officers ordered
him to turn back toward New York
With the Drayton following close be-
hind him. Captain Rich was forced to
run his vessel back six miles. She
came alongside the battleship Florida
and officers from that vessel put out
in a small boat and went aboard the
Pawnee. After an hours examination
of the vessel and cargo and an explain
alton from Captain Rich, the Pawnee
was allowed to proceed to Philadel-
phia.
All of the officers denied that the
Pawnee's lights were shrouded. They
said that they could give no eXplana-
ton of their being halted or the cap
tain not stopping the vessel when or
dered to do so, unless he misunder-
stood the signals or was not informed
that all coastwise vessels were also
subject to inspection by government
officers.

GREAT BRITAIN-Thirty thousand

BARTHOLDT FORSEES
VICTORY FOR KAISER
Peace Advocate Says War in Eu-
rope Will Be Ended in
Three Months

Atlantic City, Aug. 1o.-"The war
will be over in three months, and Ger
many will be the winner" Congress
man Richard Bartholdt, of st. Louis
head of the American branch of the
1nterparliamentary Peace Union, who
in Stockholm on board the kron-
prinzessin Cecile when that ship fled
back across the Atlantic, made the de-
claration confidently shortly before he
left for Washington.
The war cannot be of lengthy dura-
ton because of the frightful slaughter
that is bound to ensue when the
Kaisers forces grapple with the
French and the English" the Mis-
souri, exponent of international peace
asserted. 1T is my conviction that
Germany will use Liege, the taking of
which is certain if it has not already
occurred, as a base for offensive oper-
ations against both France and Eng
land. With the modern weapons to
be employed the carnage is bound to
horrify the whole world.
"Germany's whole position has been
misrepresented through lack of official
information as to what is taking place
in the Empire to the east of the
French and Belgian frontiers, and
newspaper readers have no real con-
ception of the enormous power which
the Kaiser will bring to bear when
MS armies are tully arrayed.
"I do not credit the reports that
10000 men have been lost in the TAX
ing of Liege," Congressman Bartholdt
continued. "All such reports have
emanated from Belgium, and l ques-
tion whether they are any more to be
relied upon than the discredited ac-
counts of the sinking of many German
battleships. Nor can 1 understand
the strong anti German senti-
ment manifested by the public and
the newspapers, for, for Germans
have had the kindest of feel
ings toward the United States. 1 was
surprised and almost amused to-day
to see that one of the New York pap
ers printed inconspicuously a dispatch
reporting the taking of Liege and dis
played on bold type the capture of
German colony in South Africa
through the defeat of a handful of
consumptive colored men. l believe
however, that sentiment will change
as the truth of what is transpirng
abroad becomes known and the case
of Germany is more clearly presented"
A further cable to-day advised con-
gresham Bartholdt that the abandon
ment of the congress of the Inter
parliamentary Peace Union at Stock
lmolm is final.

SUMMARY OF SUNDAY EVENTS
IN EUROPEAN WAR SITUATION

The English, French and Belgian
allies have formed a junction and a
great battle is expected on Belgian
soil between Liege and Brussels, but
hardly at the fortified city of Namur,
which the Germans seem to be deter
course on the supposition that the
Germans either have taken or will
take Liege, the fate of which city is
| still more or less uncertain.
Out of the conflicting dispatches,
L. ndon military men have evolved the
| theory that the city is now probably
occupied by German soldiers, and that
the forts still hold out. The belief is
strengthened by an official Brussels
announcement that the city is in
vested" but that the forts remain in
Belgian hands.
A Brussels dispatch also says that
"Liege still holds out"
London believes that the Belgian
troops holding the routes between the
forts retreated and that the Germans
are pressing on toward Namur and
Louvain, leaving part of their army to
besiege the forts. Louvain is fifteen
miles east by north of Brussels. 1t
contains 10000 inhabitants.
A Berlin semiofficial news agency
reatfirms the capture of Liege. 1t is
believed that the object of the move
ment on Louvain is for the purpose of
thanking the allies. The movement in
this direction leaves Namur far to the
south and might nullify the strategic
importance of that stronghold.
According to Paris official dispatches,
the French columns now in Alsace-
Lorraine are sweeping everything be-
fore them. The troops have occupied
Colmar, which is 81 miles nearer
Strasburg, the objective, than Muel-
hausen, which was taken Saturday.
Colmar is a city of 10000 inhabitants,
and Muelhausen of $4,000.
From the same official sources it is
reported that the people of Alsace-Lor-
raine have welcomed the French
troops, have virtually risen in rebel
lion, and that many of them have
Joined the army of invasion.
Austria, not yet technically at war
with France, is mobilizing troops

DIED FROM POISONING.
Mrs. Lavine of Burlington Drank Car
bolic

Burlington, Dec. l4.-Mrs Herman La
vine, young woman 25 years old, died
at the Mary Fletcher hospital Saturday
afternoon from the effects of taking car
bolic acid with suicidal intent. She was
the wife of the Hebrew school princi-
pal.
There seems to be no rational explana-
tion of her act as her home life was
harmonious and she was to all appear
ances entirely satisfied with life. Her
husband noticed nothing wrong with her
when they retired Friday night.
At some time early Saturday morning
before daylight and before her husband
was awake. Mrs Lavine arose and took
the fatal dose She was not discovered
until some time later when she was
found, still clad in her night dress, lying
on a couch unconscious.
An empty bottle, which had contained
carboic acid was beside her That she
took big dose was apparent, for her
face, lips, mouth and throat were badly
burned.
Drs. G r. Beecher and r. L. Maynard
were called and the police automobile
was rushed to the scene. Only a few
elapsed between the the time
the woman was found and her arrival at
the hospital but it was seen from the
first that nothing could be done for her
and she died about 2 o'clock in the aft
ernoon.

LEFT VICTIM SINKING

Turkey Also Lost Heavily on
Land at the Hands of Rus
sians-Servian Successes
Against Austrians Con-
tinue, Latter Fleeing in
Disorder

Reverses for Turkey at the hands of
Russia on land and at the hands of Great
Britain ON the sea were chTonicled in to-
days official war dispatches. Russian
army headquarters in Caucasus reports
that the Turks, whose strong resistance
to the invaders from the north compelled
them to retreat, are now being repulsed
everywhere and are being pursued beyond
the Euphrates river, suffering heavy
losses. The British admiralty reports the
sinking of the old Turkish warship Mes
sudieh by British submarine.
Recent successes of the Servians, partly
confirmed from Berlin, are said at Nish to
have been extended 1t is asserted that
the Austrians are unable to check their
retreat before the advancing Servians,
who are sweeping them out of their coun-
try.
A statement attributed to Field Mar
shal Won Der Goltz, who was sent by the
German government to Constantinople to
direct the Turkish forces, indicates that
in the opinion of this man, one of the
leading German military authorities, the
war may drag on for long time. He is
quoted as saying that Germany is pre-
pared to carry on war for years, but is
certain to triumph eventually.
