.ENCAMPMENT TO
Be At GREENSBORO
Kentucky National Guard to
Camp There July Is.
Coming Of Soldiers Means Much
To Our Nsighboring
City.

The greensboro Inquirer of We'd
nesday says:
Following the submission by the
Greensboro Chamber of Commerce of
a proposition to comply with certain
reuirements of the state to Adjutant
General J. Tsndy Ellis. of the Ken
lucky National Guard, that body was
assured today by the adjutant gen.
eral himself. who was in Greensboro
during the day, that the encampment
of this states troops would be held
in Greensboro this summer, beginning
July Is. General Ellis is authority
for the statement that there will be
1000 soldiers encamped here for
eight OF, ten days, that during their
stay here they will receive from the
United States government the sum
Of $4,000 and that the amount of
money usually brought by the SOL
diers, on an encampment, and spent
by the state. added to that, will total
about $4,000. practically all of
which will be spent in Greensboro.
beginning the middle of July.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been at work on this proposition for
several weeks. It has had men from
the adjutant generals Office here

a view to showing the advantages
Owensboro has to offer such an I'M
dertakine ~Quartermaster General
woodward approved of the fair
grounds as location some weeks ago
and General Ellis registered his ap-
prevail Of the same this morning.
Railroad facilities are considered. as
good as any in the state and the fact
that many years have elapsed since
greensboro had an encampment mil
itated to the advantage Of greensboro
over the other towns that have been
endeavoring to secure it. Hender-
son business men have been working
collectively and individually to Sc
cure the encampment this year.
General Ellis explained to the
Chamber of Commerce committee,
that has had the encampment work
in charge, that most of the towns
that have previously had the en-
campments had taken up subscrip-
lions among their merchants to de-
fray the preliminary expenses of
helping to install the troops. The
greensboro body. however. has made
through local pro-
moter of enterprises, Chas. A.
Payne. Jr., to derive sufficient mon
ey from the sale of concessions on
the grounds to meet all of the ex-
penses that the Chamber of Com
merce will be put to, and the local
organization will not call on the
business men of the town who will
be benefited by the coming of the
soldiers. to help in any way to Sc
cure the encampment.
The preliminary details of the en-
will require not only the
of considerable money
but also a vast amount of work.
There are things called for in the
plans and specifications furnished the
local organization of business men
that will call for the employment Of
local laborers and the purchasing of
for the construction of i'm
proved stands. tables. houses and
the like. Mr.. Payne and Secretary
Cox. of the Chamber Of Commerce,
have already begun their arrange
ments to take care of these things,
the first move having been the con-
for the use OF the fair
grOunds.

Dutch Freighter Here, a Marine
Chameleon, RiotOuS with Color,
PrOclaiming Neutrality.

If she had come to this port con-
signed to side show at Coney Island

terday from Rotterdam, would have
been proclaimed by the barker as "the
wonderful, great and only marine
chameleon of the Atlantic"

she left Quarantine on her way to an
anchorage declared that the vessel
changed color every quarter of mile.
Some of the sea dogs got the idea that
any vessel fashioned externally like
the Bloth berg might fool the enemy
and escape capture indefinitely.
The Bloth berg was daubed with q
variety of colors, it being the scheme
of her master TO make his vessel con
spicuous. Beginning at the top, she
was black-that Is, her funnel was d
glistening black, with a wide red band,
and the house at its base was snow
white. A broad line of carmine was
slapped on from stem to stern on both
sides along the waterline, and above
it was glIdle Of canary yellow
The word Netherlands in bright
green letters ten feet high was spread
over some 500 feet of the hull amid
ships, and up near the bow in letters
of black appeared the freighter's name
on the strip of yellow.
Masts of maroon and an abundant
display Of house flags and the ensign
OF the Netherlands contributed gener-
ously TO the riot of color. The skipper
said he wanted the belligerents to
know that he was neutral.

Last Russian Driven
Out of East Prussia

lerlin, March q (by wireless to Say
Vile, y. Y.).-The Russian offensive
movement against the East Prussian
territory 20 the north Of Tilsit came
to its end last Friday night with the
expulsion of the last Russian from the
province.
The invaders were thrown back
across the border after a brief but
hard fight, and the Germans advanced
30 a point in front of Polangen. The
Russians were at Krottingen and JaHu-
bow. Steps have been taken to guard
the inhabitants of this district against
further invasion of this kind.
The conclusion appears TO be justl-
iied to-day that the Russian advance
on Memel, on the Baltic, in East Prus-
sia, had certain connection with the
general renewal Of Russian offensive
activity. the purpose Of which, accord
ing to military opinion In Berlin, ap-
pears to have been another threat
against East Prussia.
The offensive against Memel w2s
closely followed by advances in the
direction Of Tilsit, through Tauroggenr
through Marampol and finally through
Augustowo. This last mentioned move
ment undoubtedly was undertaken from
the direction of Grodno.
This offensive activity is taken in

have finished filing out the gaps in
their line caused by the latest victory
over them of Field Marshal Won Hin

GERMANS PLANNED
800 SUBMARINES
Would Exchange Battle
ships for Underwater
Craft, Says Expert.
by Cable to The Tribune. J

Paris, March 27.-MaX Laubeut, IN
ventor and first constructor of subma-
rines in Europe of the types now used
by the French, British and German
navies, lecturing to-day before the So
ciety of Civil Engineers, stated that TO
hi certain knowledge the secret pro-
gramme of the German Admiralty last
year was TO have 800 submarines Of the
model Of the famous U-29. This deci-
sion was made in June, 1914, imme-
diately after the sensational prediction
Of Admiral Sir Percy Scott, that sub
marines would eventually drive battle
ships from the seas, just as automobiles
have replaced horse carriages on the
roads"
During the interview Laubeuf said:
Suppose to-day the following question
were put to the Kaiser: You have
some very powerful, up-to-date battle
ships in the Kiel Canal. Are 70. will
ing TO exchange your four best ones, at
an estimated value OF SG0OOO.OCO, for
150 submarines, amounting 10 the same
value?'
am convinced the Eaiscr would ac-
cept the proposition with eager cnthu-
sIasm.
fortunately. Germany was unable 20
fulfil her programme for the construc-
tion OF 800 submarines. Far from it,
In fact. had German naval construction
plans been carried ont with the same
efficiency as were the preparations Of
the army, there would have been many
unpleasant experiences
The latest experiences indicate. in
the opinion of Laubeuf, that submarines
are not inferior TO their task, but that
Germany has not enough of them.
Submarines must return frequently 20
their home ports, and Germany has
not and never can have a sufficient
number to start hostilities and to re-
place those that must return to port
The absence of fotillas of hostile
submarines in the Dardanelles greatly
lessons the difficulties encountered by
the allied fleets in the operations
against Constantinople. in Laubeuf's
opinion.

TENSION GROWS
BETWEEN BERLIN
AND THE HAGUE
Germany Still lnvestigat-
ing Its Own Seizure OF
Dutch Ships.
EXPLANATION ASKED
ALSO IN MEDEA CASE
Rumors of Ultimatum TO the
Kaiser Denied in Govern
mental Circles.

The Hague via London), March 27.---
Cermanv has informed the Minister OF
the Netherlands in Berlin that the in
vestigation into the seizure by German
submarines of the Dutch steamers
Zaanstroom and Batavier Y has not as
vet been concluded. The vessels IN
question having been seized while on
their way to England and taken into
ZeebruCge, the German government
sent a special official TO investigate.
An explanation of the sinking on
March 25 Of the Dutch steamer Medea'
bound for London, has been requested.
Tic Medea was torpedoed off Beachy
Head by the German submarine US.
A Netherlands statesman very close
" connected with the government ana
fully cognizant Of the action taken, in
formed The Associated Press to-day
that there was no truth in the cur
rent rumors Of Dutch ultlmatum 10
Germany. When the report Of the
sinking Of the Medea was received a
telegraphic inquiry was Immediately
sent to Berlin.
The high handed procedure of the
German submarines naturally mas
aroused great indignation in Holland,
but. under the Declaration Of London
il is acknowledged that herman war
ships have a right 10 sink any veSsei
captured if the German commanders
consider that to convoy them as prizes
to the nearest port--in this instance
Zeebrugge place their own ves-
sells in danger.
France and Great Britain. 1t is point
ed out. do not need TO sink their prizes,
as all their ports are open.
The question whether the Medea and
the other Dutch ships were conveying
quantities of contraband sufficient to
render them liable TO capture must. II
is said. remain q matter for Judicial
decision, but il is generally believed
that the ships concerned were engaged
in legitimate trade.
Some observers here are Of the opin-
ion that Germany, in order to avoid
further complications, may attribute
the capture Of the Batavier V and the
Zaanstroom and the sinking Of the
Nedea to excess Of zeal on the part
Of the commander Of the U-2S. which
submarine is responsible for all three
incidents. Germany in her notes 20
the powers did rot declare her inten-
ton of capturing or destroying neutral
vessels. but only warned them against
mines
