POSTAL SAVINGS PILE UP.
Deposits Show Heavy Increase Since
War Started.

Washington, D. C.-Figures Just
made public show that more than 1O0,-
900 persons have been added to the
lists of depositors in the postal savings
banks since the European war began.
In this same period the. total de-
posits in these banks have increased
at the rate of nearly $3,000,OOO a
month. The increase is attributed
largely to the fact that foreign-born
citizens of the United States, unable
to send their savings back home, are
intrusting them to the care of Uncle
Sam.
Baltimore lags far behind in the
amount of postal savings deposits,
having but $114,OOO and standing fifty
second in the list of cities with more
than 100000 on deposit. This is at
tributed to the fact that Baltimore's
savings banks are regarded as the
strongest in the country, thus making
1t difficult for the Government to com
pete with the private banking institu-
tions in that city.
Approximately $59,2O0,00O was on
deposit in all the postal banks of the
country at the opening of the present
year. This money was held to the
credit of $4,000 depositors, an average
of S119 for each depositor

Washington, D. C.-Declaring that
the business interests of the country,
in the era into which they have now
passed, could enjoy "a free field and
no favors," and confidently predicting
that the country will soon enter upon
a new period of enterprise and pros
perity. President Wilson, in a speech
before the convention of the American
Electric Railway Association. laid
down what he expressed as the rules
of the game" heading the list with
publicity, not doing anything under
cover.
Speaking through the association to
the world of bushes generally, the
President outlined what Congress has
tried to accomplish through its trust
legislation, and declared that while a
test period would be required to deter
mine whether the correct remedy had
been applied, he believed the maze of
Interrogation points" which had
checked enterprise for 20 years had
been cleared away.
With a common understanding re-
garding business reached, he said,
henceforth nobody is going to be
suspicious of any business just be-
cause it is big.
Expressing the belief that the
American busines man wanted to be
"a good sportsman" the President
dropped easily into the parlance of the
athletic field. His audience, made up
of representatives of practically all
the large electric railway systems of
the country, was aroused to high
pitch of enthusiasm, and constantly
interrupted his remarks with outbursts
of applause.
For more than 80 minutes the Presi-
dent held the attention of his hearers,
carrying them back to the period
when, he declared, business was sur
rounded by an atmosphere of sus-
picion and distrust, tracing the years
of agitation and uncertainty, and
bringing them up to the completion of
the Administrations trust program.

WAR NEWS IN SUMMARY

One of the features of the war news
as transmitted through London is the
statement of the Austro War Office.
Sweeping claims of victory except in
the far north are made.
1t is asserted that in Poland, on the
Warsaw front, in Galicia, Bukowina
and Northern Hungary the Austrian
and German forces are battering down
the Russian resistance.
No mention is made of East PruA.
sia, where the Russians say they are
making new advance.
The Turkish army that invaded
Persia is reported defeated. Tabriz
has been reoccupied by the Russians.
Berlin announces a defeat of the
Russians in two minor engagements.
A night attack at Borjimow was re-
pulsed.
In France the heaviest fighting oc-
CURED at the end of the line. Ger
many says further ground was gained
in the Argonne, where the French suf-
fered heavy losses. Near Nieuport, in
Belgium, and south of Verdun, says
Berlin, heavy infantry engagements
were disastrous to the French.
London papers are now doubtful
about the strength of the reported
Turkish invasion of Egypt.

AIRSHIPS ARE
NOT WARCRAFT
Secretary Bryan Pefuses to
Grant German Request.
NO NEUTRALITY VIOLATION
States In Answer That Berlin Itself
classed HydroaeropIanes As
Conditional Contra
band.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
State Bryan refused, in a formal reply
to Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, to grant the request of
the German Government that this Gov
ernment prohibit the further exporta-
ton of airships and hydroaeroplanes
to England and Russia.
Taking the position that aircraft
came within the meaning of war YES
sells whose delivery to belligerent
nations by neutrals was prohibited
under the thirteenth convention of the
Second Hague Conference of October
1S, 1907, Count Won Bernstorff, in his
formal complaint, cited the fact that
number of aircraft had been and
were being constructed by Glen Curtiss
at Hammondsport, N Y. While he
stated that hydroaeroplanes are not
mentioned by name in The Hague Con-
vention, it was simply because in 1907
none existed.
The German Ambassador cited that
an airship named America was de-
hvered to England last October and
that several more hydro-aeroplanes of
the same type have been delivered
since; that England has placed orders
with Curtiss for "a hydroaeroplanes Of
the N model, 70-horsepower, and -
hydroaeroplanes of K model, 16O-horse-
power; and that Russia has recently
placed large order for X models with
the same manufacturer. His note
added that the motors for the craft
are built partly by Curtiss at Ham
mondsport and partly by the Herschel-
Spillman Motor Factory at North
Tonawanda, N. Y.

GERMAN RAIDERS
SINK MERCHANTMEN
Two In English Channel Added
To North Sea Toll.
THE SUBMARINES GET AWAY
Steamer Graphic Had Narrow Escape
From Destruction In "Under-
Water Emden's" Latest
Raid.

London.-The toll taken by the Ger
man submarine U-21 in its raid in the
Irish Sea in the vicinity of Liverpool
still stands at three ships--the steam
ers Ben Cruachen, Linda Blanche and
the Kilcoan, the latter a small vessel.
The crew of the Kilcoan was landed
on the Isle of Man by coastwise
steamer
In addition, a German submarine
also has torpedoed two British steam
ers in the English channel, near Havre
the Tokomaru and the Icaria
Called Underwater Emden.
The Irish Sea raider easily made
her escape, and shipping interests,
confident that she has returned to her
base, ordered a resumption of normal
traffic.
This underwater Edmen is the same
vessel which last September torpedoed
in the North Sea the British cruiser
Pathfinder, with a loss Of 246 lives,
and later destroyed two British steam
ers off Havre. She found numerous
vessels in the waters to which she has
now transferred her activities.
In addition to the three vessels she
is known to have sunk, at least fve
other steamers we're chased by her
These include the steamer Graphic,
with 100 passengers and a crew of 40,
and the smaller boats Atreus, Avia,
Kathleen and Edymion. All these yes
sells escaped.
Others Warned BY Wireless.
The Graphic's captain had his pas
sengers don life belts and sent all the
members of the crew to the stokehole
so that the steamer could keep up a
full head Of steam in fight. The cap
tain also took the precaution to warn
by wireless vessels from coming into
the zone of the submarines activity.

WAR BROUGHT
TO U. S. BORDER
The American Canadian Bridge
IS Dynamited.
BY GERMAN ARMY OFFICER
Warner Van Horn, Who Says He Ia
a Captain In the German Army,
Admits Act, Declaring It To
Have Been An Act OF War.

Vanceboro, Me.-Another interna.
tional problem incident to the war was
thrust upon the United States by the
action. of Warner Van Horn, who,
operating on the Canadian side OF the
border, dynamited the railway bridge
over the ST. Croix River and then
escaped into this State. A few hours
later in a room at a hotel here Van
Horn quietly submitted to arrest, but
Immediately proclaimed himself an
officer of the German Army and set
up the claim that he had committed
an act Of war and, having fed to a
neutral country, could not be legally
surrendered to an enemy Of the Father
land.
The Canadian authorities took diff
ferent view of the matter and at once
instituted proceedings to obtain the
extradition Of the prisoner on a charge
of destruction of railroad property.
Pending the outcome of these efforts,
Van Horn is held at the immigration
Office here in custody Of Deputy Sher-
if George w. Ross. of Washington
county.
The bridge which Van Horn sought
to destroy was not greatly damaged.
Within few hours cars were shunted
across one at a time, the passengers
walking over on the ice.
The Plot.
The st. Croix River for some dis
'ance forms the boundary between
lIaine and New Brunswick. The
bridge is owned jointly by the Maine
Central and the Canadian Pacific Rail-
ways and is on the direct route of the
Canadian Pacific from Western Can
ada to the Maritime Provinces. over
this road have been shipped large
quantities of war materials for the
Allies, which were placed on board
ships at st. Johns and Halifax.
