The world has been regarding the devastation OF

The Russians themselves have admitted that their de

The Kaiser has stated that the destruction was beyond
anything hitherto known that the whole East PruSSlah
country was utterly ravaged.
Now comes the word Of two American correspondents
who have personally seen and photographed the most ter

Thus the Germans have had brought home to them
what Belgium has suffered at their hands, though they
will not admit that the cases are parallel since they insist
that they destroyed only when assaed by the civilian pop

On the other side can be said that Russia devastated
the territory of belligerant while Germany in Belgium

newspapers about the use of flags of other countries by
merchant vessels and warshps One authority on such
subjects asserts that international law and agreements be-

has been raised as the correctness of the theory under

may merchant vessels display begerent or neutral flag

as legitimate in international law for even bateshps to
fly either beigerent neutral flags as ruse either to
escape or to draw enough for sudden attack but it
is required that batteshps in such cases display their own

Berlin Fails to Report
on Operations at Riga
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 24.-There is still no
word from the German side regarding
the result of the operations in the
gulf of Riga. The German press ap-
pears to be maintaining complete si-
lence on the subject.
The RussiaIi reports refer to two
distinct affairs, one being the torpe-
doing of the battle cruiser Moltke or
a vessel of the Moltke type by Brit
ish submarine in the Baltic and the
other to a German attempt to force
the gulf of Riga, which, it is declared,
ended disastrously for the Germans.
From the information available it
would appear that heavy vessels of
neither side were engaged in the Riga
operations which on the part of the
Germans were in the nature of mine
clearing work with a view to support
ing an attempt to land troops at Per-
nau on the eastern short of the gulf,
with the object of cutting communi-
cations with Petrograd.
No date has been given by Petro-
grad for the sinking of the cruiser de-
scribed as the Moltke, but the naval
correspondent of the Times assumes
that it was either Wednesday or
Thursday, when he says the Germans
had managed to force an entrance into
the gulf of Riga and when, uncertain
of the defense being overcome they
had moved a supporting force to that
vicinity to prevent their ships inside
from being cut off.

China's Boycott Said

Special to The Telegraph

Toxic Aug. "a The retaliatory
boycott in China against the Japanese,
because of Japans demands on China
has caused profound concern through
out the empire, and extensive plans are
being formulated to overcome the move

Gus walks of Japanese life are worried
over where the Chinese hostility will
end and over how IL will affect the flu

The Chamber of Commerce of Osaka
which is a very progressive body, has
organized a special commission, whose
assignment is the elimination of the
Japanese boycott by friendly propa-

HARR|SBURGERS PASS
THROUGH HURRICANE
Shelter More Than a Score of Per-
sons in Their Apartments in Gal
weston During Flood {

Ralph E. knouse. a former Tarris-
burger, now connected with the
United State Department of Public
Health. stationed at Galveston for the
last five months has written an Inter-
esting but condensed account of his
recent experiences to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs Ira p. Knouse. 21S North
Fifteenth street. Mr. Knouse is a
pharmacist, and was formerly in the
employ of C. NJ. Forney and Frank j.
Althouse.
The letter was nearly a week COM
ing from the flood city, and contains
only a short list of the dangers and
troubles Mr., Knouse and his wife
have safely gone through,
The hurricane had reached a velo-
city OF l25 miles an hour by o'clock
last Tuesday morning and it had piled
the gulf waters eight feet deep in the
street in front of their apartments in
the center of the city. The electricity
was cut off first. and candles furnished
the light for two sleepless nights.
just before the water supply stopped
Mr.. Knouse filled his bathtub, and Just
how long that single source of water
supply had to suffice was not known
when the letter was written.
Fires Add TO Terror
Mr. and Mrs. Knouse sheltered "a
people in their apartments, and all
other families living in the center of
the city above the street level took in
numbers of homeless ones Even
halls and stairs were crowded.
Two large fires, which could not
spread because of the downpour add
ed to the excitement. Flying signs
and branches broke many windows
and spoiled the shelter of those in
many buildings.
Mr.. Knouse and wife are both we'll
and safe but he and all others who
went through the storm marvel that
there were not many more casualties.
In a second letter dated Friday,
| August 20, Mr.. Knouse writes that
| the soldiers and special police were
| then in charge of the situation and
that the streets were rapidly being
cleared of debris.
He tells how the soldiers took
charge of the town to prevent any
price boosting on the necessities of
mandant in charge and any store that
| attempted to raise prices was taken
over by the soldiers.
| The total number of dead from the
storm was estimated by Mr.. Krouse
to be about sixty. AS many more were
dead from shooting, he declared.
Much looting was done, he explained.
| By negroes and the orders were to
shoot first and then inquire what the
| trouble might have been.

No Romance to This Tale;

morning to his room over the Palace

affair was rudely shattered by pretty
