MUNITION SHIPMENTS
TIED UP BY STRIKE

New York, Sept. 17.--Loaded freight
cars and tons of freight have accumu-
lated in the yard and on the piers of
the West Shore railroad at Weehaw-
ken, N j., where a strike of 600 long
shoremen and freight handlers is in
force.
Since the men went out the rail-
road officials discontinued efforts to
unload the cars arriving there and the
loading of the freight upon lighters,
but policemen are protecting the prop
erty.
Much of this freight is composed of
war munitions intended for transfer
by lighters to steamers for England
and France awaiting cargoes In the
harbor. Despite rumors that the strike
was a result of German propaganda
leaders of the longshoremen denied
that they were influenced by foreign
agitators and said they would return
to work ii their demands for an in
crease of wages from 20 cents to 25
cents an hour were granted.

LEADERS DIVIDE ON POLICY
Women Not a Unit on Best Method
to Secure Suffrage.

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-There
were rumblngs of political tempest
expected to break at the next session
of the Woman Voters convention
here as a result of differences be-
tween adherents of the Congression
al Union for Woman's Suffrage and
delegates affiliated with the National
Woman's Suffrage association.
AS Miss Mabel Vernon of Whining
ton, Del, was advocating a resolution
demanding the passage of the Susan
b. Anthony national woman suffrage
amendment by congress, supported by
the Congressional union, she was in
terrupted by DR.. Esther Pole Love
Joy of Portland, Ore, who wanted to
know what the objection was to the
proposal of the National association
to secure national suffrage by winning
over the states one by one.
In view of the fact that the South
is against national woman suffrage"
said Mrs Lovejoy will we not get
national suffrage sooner If we work
on a measure acceptable to Them"

CAPTURED RUSSIANS
NUMBER 2,571,750

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 1.-THE
number of Russians taken prisoners
since May l by the Austrians and
Germans is reckoned by La Suisse at
2,571,750. 1t is stated that 5000 guns
and 1000 machine guns have been
captured.
The newspaper states that these
figures have been compiled from Off
cial bulletins issued at Berlin and
Vienna. Ii adds:
THE off icial Austrian and German
figures given out prior to May |
showed a total of 1,395,000 Russian
prisoners, not including civilians or
the dead and wounded. General
Polivanoff, the Russian minister of
war, informed the duma that the
total officers and men at the front
since the beginning of the war was
5,e60,000. Consequently the present
total of Russian forces is 2,4S8,250." !"

ROUMANIA READY
To RUSH into WAR

London, Sept. IA Copenhagen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company says German newspapers
were permitted to publish sensational
kilograms intimating that Roumania's
participation in the war may be ex-
pected at any minute.
The massing of German and Aus
trian troops on the Roumanian from
tier has resulted in the Balkan ma
tion making preparations for even
Qualities. A large part of her army
already has been mobilized and re-
servists in other countries have been
ordered home.
A steadfast refusal of Roumania to
permit the transportation through
her territory by Germany of military
supplies for Turkey is supposed to
have aroused the animosity of the
central empires.
Recent advices from Rome were
that negotiations were under way for
the formation of a new Balkan league,
to be composed of Roumania, Servia
and Greece. Bulgaria, ii was said,
was not included in the negotiations
because of her agreement with Tur-
key by which she will obtain posses
sion of territory along the Dedeag-
hatch railway.
Montenegro probably would act in
accord with the other three powers,
as she already is arrayed on the side
of the allies in the war

Prize Court COnfiSCateS Car
goes of Four Vessels.
MOSTLY MEAT PRODUCTS
Shipments Condemned, Made Princi.
pslly by Big American Packing
Companies, Valued by Them at Fiji
teen Million Dollars.

London, Sept 1.-THE British
prize court has condemned the great
er part of the American products
forming the cargoes of four steam
ships. The products, valued at several
million dollars, are declared forfeited
10 the crown.
The judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans, president of the
court. 1t involves the cargoes of the
Norwegian steamships Kim, Alfred
Nobel, Biornstjerne-Bjornso and
Fridland. All the goods on these YES
sells, consisting principally of Ameri-
can meat products, are confiscated,
with the exception of a small proper
tion which the court released to
claimants.
In a lengthy judgment Sir Samuel
said it was plain these ships were
carrying towards Copenhagen, when
captured, more than thirteen times
the amount of goods which under
normal circumstances would have
been taken to that port. That fact
gave practical and overwhelming as
surance that the goods were intend
ed to find their way to Germany, al
though of course it did not prove
conelusively that they were destined
for an enemy of Great Britain.
The meat cargoes, shipped for the
most part by the great American
packing companies and valued by
them at $15,000,000. were found by
the president to be destined, except
for some small items. for delivery in
Germany.
The court disallowed sixteen claims,
including those of the Morris, Ar
mour, Hammond, Swift and Sulzber-
ger companies. 1t allowed eight
claims, including that of the Cudahy
company of Chicago. The others
were Danish consignees.
Sir Samuel gave leave to appeal.

FURTHER DELAY IN
ARABIC SETTLEMENT

Washington, Sept. 17-Germany
and the United States are undergoing
a cooling off" process.
1t will last two weeks. Secretary
Lansing has left for a fortnight's va
cation. German Ambassador Berns-
torff does not expect TO return here
during that time.
Much Importance was attached in
official quarters to Bernstorff's decla-
ration in New York that the entire
controversy would be settled within
two weeks. His optimism was not
reflected by officials here.
The administration is not averse to
the spirit Of pessimism among Ameri-
can officials. IL was reliably report
ed that an attitude of considerable
anxiety is being deliberately main
tanned with a twofold object:
Hasier concessions from Germany
are probable if Berlin understands the
administration deems the situation
grave.
Added emphasis will be given to an
American diplomatic victory If it Is
won in the face of great difficulties.

his government that the United States
insists upon disavowal of the sub

To Kill Hsssian Fly.
Mr.. David M Kendall of

Mr.. David M. Kendall, of Ayr
township, told us a story the
other day that is worth repeat
ing. The late Rev. Simon Wolf,
several years ago pastor of the
Reformed church in this place,
told Mr.. Kendall that a German
neighbor discovered how to kill
the Hessian fly. The German
had cut a large thorn bush in the
fall, but did not remove it until
early spring. The big bush was
then dragged across field, over
the growing wheat. When har-
vest time came, the strip covered
by the dragged bush was about
the only place in the field that
contained wheat and clover.
Next spring a larger piece of
growing wheat was dragged in
the same manner, and it showed
a similar result at harvest time.
Thorn bushes make cheap har-
rows to break spring crusts.
Who will give it a trial and re-
port results to the NEWS?

The "GruutIing" Habit.

One of our exchanges devotes
a lot of space to an essay on
"Grunting," wherein the foolish
habit is held up to ridicule. The
writer of the essay declares that
people can-and some do
"grunt" themselves into early
graves. Noi is this the worst
feature. The chronic "grunter"
grunts" his fellows into desper-
ate states of mind that under
mine health. The average "grunt-
er" "grunts" because he thinks
it will bring him sympathy, or,
perhaps, cause others to reach
out a helping hand. Such only
delude themselves by their course.
Like the natural grunter-the pig
the human grunter soon finds
that he is Stunned for his disa-
greable ways.

The Call of Blood.

The hour is at hand for all peo-
pie in the United States to use
extreme caution and great for
bearance in discussing the con-
flict in Europe, lest a spark ig-
mite the powder which is to blow
our neutrality to the four winds.
The blood of every nation at
war is mixed in our citizenship.
America is made up of people
from many lands. These people
are good citizens, loyal to their
adopted country, ready to defend
it in case of need, but we cannot
expect them to entirely forget
the kindred ties of their nativity.
The blood of their forefathers
is calling to each of them. and in
the heat of argument or in the
stress of strong emotion it is easy
to say or do that which will
wound some man whose sympa-
thies are with another country
with the place he once called
home with the land that shell
ters the bones of his ancestors.
Let US use forebearance one to
another. Let US concede to 9TH
ers that same right of sympathy
which we ourselves enjoy. Let
US remember that there is good
among all peoples, honorable men
of all races, justice in every land.
Letus refrain from acrimonious
debate and turn our united ener-
gies to the preserving of our free
country from the horrors of the
conhagration which is devastat-
ing Europe.
Let's speak softly and say lit
