Following the talks to 1000 or more
negroes at Jerusalem church by city

and the announcement that protec-

of the HOboken section, the authori-
ties and leaders among the negroes

the excitement among the negroe<

steps have been taken to prevent a
recurrence of the incidents of Sun

Many members of the negro race
agree with the authorities now that
the warnings were posted by mem

IRON DISCIPLINE RULES
HINDENBURG QUARTERS

BERLIN, October 16. via wireless to
Sayyille, N. "a description of life at
Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs head
quarters Is given in a letter from the
correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung
just published.
Hindenburgs headquarters, the cor
respondent says. is in small town of
rural aspects. There is no theater,
not even a moving picture show, and no
entertainments are held. There are
no women among the populace. There
is only work in the camp and iron dis
cipline and Spartan simplicity.
The field marshal, the correspondent
adds, is the idol of all the inhabit-
ants Every night when he takes his
automobile to drive home large crowds
of soldiers and civilians await him, the
soldiers respectfully saluting and the
civilians lifting their hats. Won Hin
denburg amiably bows his thanks.
There is no difference in the routine
of the headquarters even on great

BIG PROJECT BEGUN.
Harbor of Refuge Along South At
lantic Coast to Save MANY Vessels.

The building of the harbor of refuge
at Cape Lookout, n. c.. as shelter
for vessels from the great storms that
sweep the south Atlantic coast is re-
garded by engineers as one of the
greatest undertakings ever attempted
by the government. The cost of the
work is estimated to be s3,170,00O and
of this sum s1.260,000 is now available
Work has been started by a Baltimore
concern which has the contract for
building the great wall that must
Withstand pounding by heavy winter
gales.
The sea wall is to extend 2,2O0 feet
shoreward from high water line at
Cape Lookout. Its height above mean
low water is to be eight feet, top
width twenty feet. The total amount
OF quarried stone required in the con-
struction is l.230,000 tons.
When completed the breakwater will
inclose harbOr in which vessels will
f1nd a safe refuge from the hurricanes
which suddenly sweep Hatteras. With
this haven near at hand, there will be
great saving in human lives and vessel
property. During the past twenty
years the property loss has exceeded
s2.5OO.OO6. The winds blow from
ninety to ninety-fve miles an hour,
and have been. known to exceed 100
miles an hour off Hatteras and dash
the spray 200 feet in the air
II Is estimated that about three years
will be required to complete the work.

his friend, "and I'll get him."
Egmond was discovered in the en-

policeman said it fairly went to his

CONSIDERS ARMY TESTS.
Chief of Staff Lays Aside Possible
Changes in Physical Rules.

Various recommendations from the
members of the general stan and off
GERS throughout the service for changes
in the physical tests of army. officers
have been laid aside by the chief of
staff, and will not be considered until
next year. Accordingly. the existing
general order covering physical tests
will be followed this year.
The officers on duty at Washington
are not taking their riding test this
year in large parties, as in former
years. All the members of the general
staff are busy on reports connected
with the recomme ndations for new leg
islation. and the Secretary of War has
directed that the riding test be not al
lowed to interfere with the work in
the department any more than is abso-
lutely necessary. One of the popular
routes used in taking the ninety mile
ride is through Rock Creek Park and
Mont gomery county. Nd. Officers start
from Washington and ride fifteen miles
out through the park into the country
and return each day for three success
sive days.

Silent on Naval Topics.

This is but one of the naval topics on
which the press is virtually silent. ex-
cept to reproduce the comment of for
eign papers American newspaper
readers are daily presented with more
or less we'll supported discussions Of
matters relating to the British navy, of
which not line appears in print here.
Recently some of the London papers
republished from an American paper
an article about a new air craft con-
structed to fight Zeppelins. 1t was
passed by the press bureau, with the
observation that it could in no degree
vouch for the accuracy of any of the
statements therein.
When the American papers were
printing references to the net across
the English channel, describing it even
to the name of the makers. there was
not a word about it in the British pa
pers. Indeed. it would be an almost
startling experience if London pub
Usher should be permitted to print any
of the many articles about the British
navy that appear so frequently in
American journals.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. October British papers
have republished from American and
other neutral papers various estimates
of the number of German submarines
sunk by the British. but so far the ad-
miralty has authorized no figures or
estimates of it's own, contenting itself
with the explanation of A. ]. Balfour,
first lord of the admiralty, that since
the number is not definitely known 1t
is better neither to underestimate nor
overestimate it.
The British public noted with satis-
faction the small number of shipS-six
only-that were reported sunk by sub
marine attack last week. While this is
one of the smallest weekly losses. and
almost infinitesimal compared with the
enormous amount of shipping exposed
to attack. even this showing has led
the British into no -overconfident pre-
dictions that the danger is over or that
the navy has altogether overcome the
danger.
