charter Of the city of Richmond, how

That Is his duty, as il is also to see
that those under him carry out the

CHAHGEs VIOLATION
OF PARIS DECLARATION
She docs not even hesitate to vio-
late the Paris declaration, as her naval
officers have shown. She has, through
her naval forces. taken from neutral
ships numerous Germans liable to mill
tary service and has made of them
prisoners of war.
Further. She has declared the entire
North Sea 10 he an area of war, and II
she has not made impossible the pass
aCe of neutral shipping through the
sea between Scotland and Norway, has
rendered 1t so difficult and SO danger
GUS that she has to certain extent
effected blockade Of neutral coasts
and neutral ports, in violation of all
international law
"All these measures have the obvious
purpose, through illegal paralyzation OF
legitimate neutral commerce, not only
TO strike at the German military
strength, but ut the economic life of
Germany and finally. through starva-
ton. TO doom the entire population OF
Germany 10 destruction
The neutral powers have generally
acQuiesced in the steps taken by the
British government; especially they
have not succeeded in inducing the
British government to restore the Ger
man individuals and property seized
in violation Of international law. In
certain directions they have also aided
the British measures, which are ire
.sp moi la IN wit
in that they have obviously, under the
pressure OF England, hindcred, by cX-
port and transit cmbargocs. tho transit
of wares for peaceful purposes to Ger

The German government has in vain
called the attention of neutral powers

III Its hitherto strict observance of the
rules of the London declaration If
Great Britain were to continue its
course, and the neutral powers were
70 continue to acquicscc in these vio-
lations OF neutrality, to the detriment
OF Germany.
For her violations of international
law England pleads the vital interests
which the British empire has at stake,
and the neutral powers seem to satisfy
themselves with a theoretical protest
Therefore. in fact. they accept tho
vital interests OF bclligerents as suffi-
cicnt excuse for every method OF war
fare.
Germany must now appeal to these
! same vital interests. to its regret 1t
therefore sees itself forced to military
measures aimed at England in rctalia :
ton against the English procedure
Just as England has designated the
area between Scotland and Norway as
an area or war, so Germany now de-

tire English Channel. as an area OF war

AIRMEN KEEP FIRING
IN FALL TO DEATH
Germans, Beaten in Aero Duel,
Win Foes Praise.

General Headquarters in France, Sept.
l3 dispatch TO THE Chronicle" Lon
don Two German seroplanes were
brought down in our lines to-day. The
fate Of one Of them was preceded by an
act Of desperate bravery which won the
admiration Of our men in spite of their
own peril. This Taube was sighted
over our lines early in the morning. 1t
was one OF the latest types, armed with
two machine guns, and flying at a great
speed.
Nevertheless, one Of our own aero
planes. with smaller wing spread and of
lighter make, Immediately mounted and
gave chase. The enemy accepted the
challenge. and a thrilling duel took
place, the two machines circling about
each other maneuvring for position and
firing repeatedly.
The pilot Of our aeroplane showed
the finest skill in banking about his ad-
versary and by a remarkable shot hit
the German machine in the petrol tank.
IL began 20 fall, and II was then clear
to the two unhappy men in the biplane
that they were dashing down TO certain
death. Yet, without losing their nerve
or pluck. they maintained the rapid
FIRE. The men crashed 20 earth and
both were killed. but the machine was
not much damaged and may be flown
by our own ayiators.
A second Taube, which appeared later
in the day, was also hit in a vital part
and burst into flames.

AMERICAN GOODS HELD UP
Britain Awaits Consent of France to
Let Them Leave Neutral Ports.


Washington, Sept. 14.-Great Brit
aims promised arrangement to permit
shipment from neutral ports of Ameri-
can owned goods Of German or Aus
trian origin is being held up, and there
is no assurance that its effectiveness
will not be indefinitely delayed. The
explanation in British quarters is that
approval by France is awaited, joint &C
ton by the Allies being necessary.
In the mean time the foreign trade
advisers of the State Department are
being flooded with applications from
for the movement of goods held up az
Rotterdam.
Applications for permits 10 ship Bel
gian goods will be presented through
the trade advisers to the British En-
bassy, and shipments will be authorized
by British consular officers at neutral
ports provided there is furnished:
/. A declaration from Belgian local
authority that the goods in question are
of Belgian origin or manufacture.
.. A written guarantee from a bank
in Great Britain that the purchase
money for the goods has been deposited
with them and will not be withdrawn
without the special authorization of the
British government during the continu-
ancc of the occupation of Belgium by
Germany. or, alternatively. clear evil
dence that the purchase money was re-
mitted 10 Belgium before July 81, 1915.

Capital Approves Loan;
Denies 1t Is Unneutral
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE State De-
partment will not oppose the negotis-
tons for the billion dollar Anglo
French loan. Secretary Lansing has
received no protest from any quarter,
and the department will take no action
unless the matter is called TO its at
tention through official channels.
From high administration sources It
is learned that the loan is regarded as
a necessity if the export trade Of the
United States is to be continued. The
administration, therefore. far from
misunderstanding it, halls 1t as a bene-
fit to the country.
1t is pointed out, from the legal side,
that the floating Of such loan in this
country can be considered in no way
breach of neutrality. The attitude Of
this government was defined early in
the war by Secretary Bryan, who stated
that while a general loan TO any bel
ligerent might be regarded as unneu-
trail, there could De no objection on
such grounds to credit loan" the
proceeds of which were used to pur-
chase goods in this country.
Most of the money, il is assumed
will be used to pay for exports of mu-
nitions and other war supplies, but /
fair part of il will also be expended
in food, clothing and necessities for
the civilian populations Of the Allied
nations. The loan will, therefore,
benefit not only the big interests manu-
featuring shells and ordnance. but will
create markets for the farmer and
small producer.

London, Sept. News Of the like
lhood that a billion dollar loan will be
foated in the United States-an
amount which was first forecasted IN
The Tribune's dispatch Of July 90

bankers here, who always have ap-
proved this method of arranging the
exchange question rather than the al

This result, it is declared. would GER

Loan Like Dynamite"
Say Chicago Bankers

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE subject is
like dynamite" is the way one bank
official summarized the feeling of
Chicago bankers to-day toward the
proposed 81 900 100000 loan to the
Allies.
On one point the heads Of local
banks were agreed unanimously.
Chicago banks will have no part in
any loan secured only by the bond Of
France and England. They will con-
sider only approved collateral--and
approved collateral means American
securities. No one would permit the
use of his name, all agreeing that the
topic could not be discussed openly
until advice had been received as to
the deliberations of the commission in
