SPECIAL WIRE SERVICE
FOR GERMAN EMBASSY
Summer Home Fitted With Tele-
graph Connection Direct to
Sayville. L. I.

NEW YORK, June 10.-Summer quar-
ters of the German embassy at Cedar
hurst. l.. l., were in readiness today
for the arrival of Count Won Bern
storff. the ambassador. who was eN-
pected there the latter part of this
week. The working office of the en-
bassy is located in an unpretentious
house and as yet has displayed no Ger
man flag.
\ temporary telegraph booth has
been erected nearby for the use of the
diplomats. Direct communication by
wire is thus obtained with the wireless
plant of the Atlantic Communication
Company, at Sayville. thirty miles dis
tance. by which wireless messages are
sent to and received from Berlin
through Nauen. Germany. This will
enable the ambassador to communicate
with the German foreign Office with
but one relay when the operation of
the wireless system is not hampered
by static electric conditions In the at

SAYS MAKE OILERS FIGHT
IF THEY REFUSE TO WORK
Baron st. Davids, Debating Ministry
Munitions Bill, Criticises Brit
ish Upper Glasses.

LONDON. June 1O.-The ministry Of
munitions bill, establishing depart
lnent to attend to the furnishing Of
supplies of munitions on an adequate
scale, was passed by the house of lords
yesterday and received royal assent.
In the debate in the house of lords
Baron ST. Davids. lord lieutenant of
Pembrokeshire. thought it "a pity that
the bill did not give power to requisi
tion men as well as workers" He
wished to dissociate himself, he said,
from attacks on the working classes.
Id1ers in Upper Glasses.
The upper classes as a whole, Lord
st. Davids said, had come out of this
trial wonderfully well, but there were
idlers still among them. Even among
the members of the upper house he
ventured to say they would find men
who had never done a days work for
themselves or for anybody else since
they were born, and that the sons of
some of them still were hanging about
the theaters and music halls.
While that was going on, the baron
contended, they might save themselves
the trouble of looking for workingmen
and talking of conscription and COM
pulsory service Men who refused to
work should be made to fight, whether
they like it or not.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. June 1O.-The re-
cent ukase Of the Car of Russia

prohibition in Turkey. were among the
subjects discussed at the final session

tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers As

Giacken. an importer of New York city,
speaking on the cars ukase, said:
We are now just beginning to re-
ceive the real truth about vodka pro-
hfbition, and these reports are more
and more to the effect that the recent
prohibiting ukase has failed even as
war measure. because of drug sub
stituted for a natural stimulant. 1t
seems to me, too, that the news which
is now being sent over Russia and
other foreign countries carries with it
lesson for our own nation, which is
at least well worthy of careful and
thoughtful consideration l refer to
this question of an unnatural drug

Senator Lodge Says Interna-
tioaaI Harmony Cannot Be
Maintained by Words.
BELIEVES IT IS FOOLISH
TO ABOLISH ARMAMENTS
Theme of Address at Commencement
Exercises Of Union College,
Schenectady, N. Y.

SCHENECTADY. n. Y, June 10. -
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. speaking
yesterday at the commencement exer-
cises at Union College. asserted that
world peace never would be maintained
without strong forces and advocated
union of nations with international
police af1oat and ashore, strong enough
to overcome the strongest individual
state
How is peace to be established and
maintained among nationso" Senator
Lodge asked. "One thing is certain, it
cannot be done by words. Nothing
will be accomplished by people who are
sheltered under neutrality, gathering
outside the edges Of the fight and from
comfortable safety summoning the COM
batants to throw down their arms and
make peace because war is filled with
horrors and women are the mothers of
men. The nations and the men now
fighting as they believe for their lives
and their freedom and their national
existence know all this better than any
one else and would heed such babble,
If they heard it. no more than the
twittering of birds"
Unwise to Abolish Armaments,
1t would be as futile. Senator Lodge
said, to abolish armaments as it would
be to abolish fire because fire some
times caused great conflagrations with
their attendant loss Of life and prop
erty; or knives, because knives inflicted
wounds. The reason lay deeper than
armaments; it was the desire to use
them wrongly for aggression. A gen
eraI reduction of ornaments. he said,
should be sought with earnestness, but
for one nation to disarm and leave it.
self defenseless in an armed world is
direct incentive and invitation to
war.
Nations must unite" the senator
SAID, as mon unite. to preserve peace
and order. The great nations must be
SO united as to be able to say to any
single country. You must not go to
war; and they can only say that ef-
fectively when the country desiring
war knows that tho force which the
united nations place behind peace is
irresistible. am certain that 1t Is in this
direction alone that We can find hope
peace and the avoidance Of needless
wars.
Better Than Speechmaking.
Tt may easily be said that this idea,
which is not now one, Is impractic-
able, but 1t is better than the idea
that war can be stopped by language,
by speechmaking. by agreements which
no one would carry out when the
stress came, for these methods are not
only impracticable. but impossible and
barren of all hope of real result"
The college conferred baccalaureate
degrees upon four civil war veterans
who stopped their studies to Join the
Union army more than half a century
ago. Tho degrees were those they
would have won had their studies not
been interrupted fifty years and more

GERMAN ENGINEERS
STRING BARB WIRE
Low TO TRIP men

From the beginning of the war the
German troops have made continued
use of many kinds of obstacles, but
most of all of different kinds of wire
entanblements. Previous to the in
PRODUCTION of the magazine rifle there
was not such a great necessity as
there is at the present moment to de-
tain troops when advancing. The use
of obstacles, and more especially OF
wire entanglements, has, however
greatly increased during the last TWEEN
ty years in consequence of the deadly
effects of rapid rifle fire and of ma
chine guns.
These entanglements are placed out
of sight in depressions Of ground and
within quite close range of the trench
they are covering. The greatest care
is taken with the appearance Of the
wire, which is carefully dulled or
colored before it's use.
Although the wire fence in war con
sists of anything from single strands
in the long grass to wire entangle'
ments of fifty feet, or even more in
width, yet they may generally be
classified under the two headings OF
low or high wire entanglements. The
German low wire entanglements have
very short pickets from only six
inches to two feet six inches in
height. The stakes are driven into
the ground from fout to eight feet
apart, and are generally found in rows
arranged chequerwise, their tops be-
ing joined by stout wire twisted
around them and crossing diagonally
about four to twelve inches above the
ground. When constructed on these
lines each yard Of frontage requires
about one hundred yards of wire.
The essential condition aimed at by
the German engineers is always to
make the ENHANCEMENT in such way
as to ensure that the enemy can not
crawl through when entended in the
prone position. This form of entangle-
ment is usually to be found either in
brushwood or long grass.

Do you ever feel that everything
tastes just exactly alike after you
have stood over the stove preparing
it? Wouldn't you give just anything

thing that would taste different and
that would arouse the grudging praise
that John and the boys sometimes
gives when you have created an unu-
sually palatable dainty? l know it's
hard this warm weather to take an in
terest in cooking but the family must
eat even though you feel like a dyspep-
tic every time you stare steak in the
face.
Now in my studies and experience /
have discovered some delicious dishes
OF which you perhaps have never

Making Onions PaIatabIe.
Many people have trouble in eating
raw onions. because they leave an un-
pleasant taste in the mouth or do not

All of sudden great cry is raised

"The Boches are coming on at the

In the Midst Of Death.
Everybody leaps up. The Germans
are already on the edge of the trench.
= oh, dear Yvonne! oh, the
horrible vision, the horrible carnage!
Everyone has understood, and knows
that he has to defend his life. At
every turn the Germans are killed

For my part, / saw red. Death scared
over my head, and I did not think
about it.
The edge of the trench is liberated.
But how can l describe this scene to

It is terrifying; the crying of the
wounded, the shouting OF defenders
and assailants. At last the Germans

voice he orders volley firing. But the
"Boches" reply, and they come back
crawling on all fours. How many of
US fell under the bullets!
In our corner there is nothing but
a heap of corpses. There is the smell
Of blood The screaming Of the
wounded tears your heart out. But
all that puts in rage. In volleys we
keep on firing. Dawn comes to de-
liver us. The enemy was thrust back.
Oh! How our dead were revenged!
Over the parapet of the trench in the
field one can only see corpses, corpses
which are going to stay where they
lie. This savage war does not allow
the burial of the dead.
Germans Renew Attack.
About midday the Germans renew
their attack This time we can see
them advancing in close order. With
a grip on our rifles we wait for them,
for they were too far away to be
fired at. They are going to swarm
upon US, but we shall defend our
selves Suddenly our Is begins to
vomit, the German column having
been signalled. All! Fine work! The
shells are we'll directed and fall into

were saved this time.
But they are obstinate devils, those
"Boches." At about 4 o'clock in the
evening they began another attack,
but it was feeble, and our shells STOP
ped them. At o'clock we were re-

PARIS, July 15-The following let
ter from French private describes
the desperate battle of scissors. The
simplicity of it, and its sincerity, re-
veal the character of this fighting
more vividly than could be written in
official dispatches.
MY very dear Yvonne:
Thanks to God l am still here and
my health is good AS everyone ex-
pected, the days of sacrifice have
come know my Yvonne is strong
in spirit, and that she has no false IL
lusions. So that you may understand
am going to tell you frankly about
the terrible days of the 9Th and 9th.
AS I told you we were at N.
On the evening of the 7th an unex-
pected order comes along: Every
body 10 be ready, without haversack,
and with 200 cartridges"
Prepare for Attack.
At about o'clock in the evening,
off we 60, cross s. and get on
the plateau, the rest OF the night be-
ing spent in the grottoes. Here we
are then fixed up; we have got to at
tack and take the German trenches.
That night did not sleep. By the
light of my little lamp l arranged my
small affairs, and was not alone in
this work. Nearly the whole COM
pany felt the need OF writing and Of
self-expresson. Between the COM
rades there was a gripping of hands,
and we comforted each other. Eight
o'clock in the morning comes. Our ar
tillery opens fire and for an hour
sprinkles the enemy's trenches with
more than 1000 shells. During this
time our own battalion gets into the
trenches. The German trenches are
only so metres away. The artillery
comes to a dead stop; it is now 800
o'clock
commandant In Lead.
But our commandant, a man with a
soul, wants to profit by the moral ef-
feet which our artillery has produced
en- the Germans. He orders the charge
to be sounded, and darts forward first,
followed by the two companies. In
20 minutes the first line Of trenches
was captured. The fine example
given by our commandant is great,
but it cost him his life, and his ad-
jutant was killed by his side.
Our losses in the attack we're not
very large. But the counter attack
of the Germans was inevitable 1t was
then that the Ninth and Tenth com
panies came into action. 1t Is 10: 90
o'clock at night. The order comes to
occupy the captured trenches. Until
o'clock in the morning the positions
are strengthened. The crumbling
trenches are dug out, and we get rid
Of the corpses, German and French.
