lightful Tour.

travelogues by Frank r. Robertson, un-
der The Stars auspices, resumed.
Tonight's travelogue is considered
one of the best that Mr.. Robertson has
to offer, because Italy is regarded as
one of the most fascinating and lovely
countries in the world. All the varied
points of interest in this sunny land will
be toured in picture; Rome with its ruins
and the papal palaces, Naples with its
beautiful bay, Milan with it's famous
cathedral, Venice with its picturesque
la goons and canals and Florence with
its art treasures.
Cavalry in Spirited Action.
A film of unusual interest will be
of an Italian cavalry officers drill. in
which young lieutenants qualify for
captainsi commissions.
The drill is in the nature of test of
horsemanshp, and the riders are COM
PEELED to pass over a hundred miles OF
Italy. They force their horses down the
steep sides of mountains, plunge them
into the rivers and dash through forests
at breallneck speed.

Bishop Wilson said a representative of
the German emperor arrived in Constance
August 1 and told the delegates he had
the authority of the emperor to say it
would be well for them to depart before
August 3.
The delegates Immediately started for
their homes. Some Of them were without
suf1cient money to pay their hotel bills
and fares to London, owing to the non
pense money, Bishop Wilson said. Those
who had surplus of funds placed it with
the little money the parties in difficulties
possessed, and all the hotel bills were
paid. The balance of the money, how
ever, would not pay for railroad tickets,
1t was found. The hotel proprietor re-
lieved the situation by refunding some of
Cologne under the guidance of the Ger
man emperors representative.
United States Will Pay.
Martin Vogel, assistant treasurer of
the United States, in charge of the SUBJ
treasury here, will turn over to the

and the government will pay 10000 more
for their passage.
The government will not lose much
by paying for these passages, however.
Nearly all the passengers have turned
over their letters Of credit and travel
ers' checks, which they were unable to
have cashed in Europe. The price of
the passage will be- deducted from the
drafts and the balance refunded. 1t
was estimated by officials today that
only 10 per cent of the refugees would
be unable to reimburse the govern
ment.

were Prof. Harry H. Love of Cornell

our duty as citizens of friendly country
to set forth the truth concerning our
treatment in Germany and to contradict
any false Impressions that may now be
current.
while the German people always treat
the Americans with great courtesy and
kindness in times of peace, this was es-
pecially emphasized in times OF war
From the time of the declaration OF war
until the time of departure nothing but
ter whether we were in the shops, on the
streets or in other public places.
This spirit was especially well shown
even in the midst of their great sorrow
by a public meeting for Americans in
the Rathaus in Berlin.
Again, the kindly spirit OF the ma.
tion was shown by providing special
trains, even though these trains were
needed for the transfer of soldiers and
munitions of war, to convey the Ameri-
cans from various parts OF Germany to
ports where passage home could be Sc
cured.
1T is not possible to enumerate all
the various kindnesses accorded to
Americans. 1t is enough to say that
it would not be. possible for any ma
ton to be kinder to a foreign people

Battlefield at Liege Described.
The battlefield of Liege as seen
through the eyes of an American

by Miss Anna Laing. a graduate
nurse of the Bridgeport Comm hos

Ryndam from Rotterdam.
IT was in Liege when the fight first
started" said Miss Laing. Several Bel
gian officers who were friends of mine
took me to house where I was prac-
tically out of the range of the shells
that were being hurled at the city
by the Germans. During the evening

periences in getting out of the war zone.
DR.. Daniel Longaker of Philadelphia
confirmed the cable story that Chauncey
M. Depew of New York rode in cattle

Depew sat on key part of the time and
also sat In an open doorway with his

Officers of the ship said it did not ap-
pear to them that there was a great
rush from Europe, as there were lots OF
room for more passengers at the regular
rate of fare.

NEW YORK. September l. The
Italian steamer Principessa Mafalda
chatered by DR.. John E Jones
American consul general at Genoa, at .
cost of. s1S4.000. reached New York to-
day from Italy with 3SS wealthy Amer
icans aboard and unoccupied cabins
with space for zoo more. Some of the
passengers paid $1,000 for cabin; none
paid less than 500, and the average
cost to all aboard was approximately
$500.
The presence of empty cabins was ex-
planned by the declaration that although
there were many Americans in Italy
who wanted to return home they were
unwil1 ng to pay the fares demanded for
the voyage.
An option upon the Principessa Ma
falda was obtained in the name Of the
United States government by DR.. Jones
at Genoa. When the option expired he
had not received authority from the
State Department at Washington to
pledge payment for the ship passage
by the government, and party of Amer.
leans headed by John w. Blodgett of
Grand Rapids. Mich, guaranteed the
payment Of the s1S4,OO0 demanded.

The vessels owners reftted the ship
to suit the passengers. What had been
the sseerage was remodeled with cabins,

piei by those passengers paying 500

Dead Soldiers Fill Trenches.
Il saw trenches filled to the top with
dead German soldiers. These trenches

been dug by the Belgians and occupied
by them until the great army OF ad-
vancing Germans forced them to retreat
AS the German infantry mounted the
breastworks in front of the trenches the
retreating Belgians poured murderous
fire into their ranks, and their bodies fell
in the trenches. Then. the Belgian omcers
said, their men moved down more Ger

ASTORIA fights
FOR EQUAL RATES
SEEKING TO BE PLACED ON PAR
ITY WITH PUGET SOUND
POINTS.
Claims the Seaport Is Being Discrim-
mated Against In Favor of the
Northern Points.

PORTLAND, Or, June 30.-Astorias
plea to be placed on a parity with
Puget Sound ports in the making of
railroad freight rates was begun be-
fore Examiner Pugh for the interstate
commerce commission today. In his
opening statement, Attorney Charles
w. Fulton of Astoria, purported to
show that Astoria was now discrim-
mated against in favor of northern
ports. Edward Ostrander, rate ex-
pert for the Oregon railroad commits
sion, testified that the rates between
the Inland Empire and Astoria are
higher.
All of the railroad companies affect
ed apparently were aligned solidly
against Astoria, their representatives
declaring previously to the opening of
the hearing that they will resist all
efforts of the Columbia river city to
become a terminal on the grounds that
the distances are greater to Astoria
than to the Puget Sound from the east
and that the entire rate fabric will be
overturned.
On the other hand, Attorney C. W.
Fulton, counsel for Astoria, declared
the matter of distance paled into i'm
sifinificance when it is considered that
on account of curves and grades a
single 110-ton locomotive can haul only
600 tons of freight over the mountains
to Puget Sound, while the North Bank
railroad can haul 1000 tons to Portland
in much less time and the same wa
ter grade obtains from there to Astor-
la. 4
The interest the railroads are ta-
king in the hearing was indicated by
the presence of J. G. Woodworth, vice
president; Henry Blakley, general
freight agent H. e. Still, assistant
general freight agent Of the Northern
Pacific; H. A. Scandrett, special inter
state commerce commission, attorney
for the Union Pacific; P. j. Costello,
general freight agent of the Northern
Pacfic, many other railroad officials,
and formidable array of legal lights.

OFFICIAL BOARD ENTERTAINS

Last evening in the Methodist par
sonage the official board of the church
entertained the choir. The choir OF
this church under the inspiration oi
Dr. Boyds leadership has been greatly
| strengthened and now numbers about
40 persons. There were 81 members
present last evening and others sent
their regrets at being unavoidably de-
tanned. The church has so greatly ap-
preciated the efficient and devoted
service rendered by this large chorus
of singers that it sought this means of
making the fact known to them.
The committee representing the Of
fetal board who had charge of the ar
rangements were Mrs. w. L. Payne,
Mrs. George Stewart, Mrs. D. W. Han
nah and Mrs. W. f. Morgareidge.
Among the features of entertainment
were instrumental music by Miss Lois
Warner and select readings by Miss
Camille Mcdaniel and Miss Rhoa
Conner. Miss Mcdaniel and Miss Con-
ner are both very pleasing impersona
tors and delighted the audience with
their humorous personifications. AS
one member of the choir, Mr.. I. B.
Ricketts,, is going away the gathering
also took on the form of a farewell
reception to him and his family.
