STATE FLAG
PRESENTED

For the first time in the history
Of the country, the United States
Government will soon be the pos
SCISSOR of State Flag from Della
ware. This State originated it's
flag only four years ago, through |.
an enactment of the Legislature,
hut until now no action toward
presenting a State banner to the
government had been taken.
At the invitation of Congress-
man Thomas w. Miller, the State
Board, Junior Order of United
American Mechanics, has under
taken to secure a Delaware State
fag and present it to the country,
the event to take place October 23,
at $50 p. m., on the green at
Dover.
At all national affairs in which
there is a raising of State flags,
Delaware has been missed from
the line. 1t has right to come at
the very first of all flag raisings,
as it was the first to ratify the
Federal Constitution. Delaware
has a similar right to be represent
ed first in all national parades.
The membership of all coun-
ellis of the order in this State are
expected to participate, and a
band, engaged by the order, will
furnish music. The Uniform
guards of Wilmington, accompan-
led by the band, will act as an es-
cort to the National and State
flags. The councils of Kent coun.
tv will hold meeting in Dove,
during the coming week, to make
arrangements for the celebration
The following committee ha:
been chosen to take charge of th'
affair:

MAKING OF ACID
SHELLS TO BE
SIFTED BY U. S.
Cabinet Indignant at the
GrewsomenesS of Max
er's Advertising.
[From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June l9.-As the result
Of an advertisement by Cleveland
manufacturer to manufacture acid
bombs which would cause death in
terrible agony within four hours If not
attended to Immediately" If a small
piece of the she'll struck any part OF
a soldiers body, a sweeping investi-
CATION was ordered by Secretary Of
Commerce Redfeld to-day. The adver-
tisement of Cleveland machine COM
pany, it was learned, was discussed at
the Cabinet meeting. Little informa-
ton as to the character Of the inves-
tigation was given by officials, who
were annoyed that the news Of it had
leaked out.
In the advertisement two high explo-
sive shells were depicted. Under these
it was stated tnat thirteen-pound shell
could be made from steel in twenty
four minutes. The part Of the adver-
tisement that excited indignation be-
cause of its gruesomeness, was:
ave are going to say little more
something which might be interesting.
The following is a description OF the
thirteen and eighteen pound high ex-
plosive shells which are now being
used so extensively in the war to re-
place common shrapnel:
"The material is high in tensive
strength g. very special, and has
tendency TO fracture into small pieces
upon the explosion Of the she'll. The
timing of the fuse for this she'll Is sim
liar to the shrapnel shell, but 1t differs
in that two explosive acids are used to
explode the she'll in the large cavity.
The combination of these two acids
causes terrific explosions, having more
power than anything Of its kind yet
used. Fragments become coated with
these acids in exploding, and wounds
caused by them mean death In terrible
agony within four hours II not attended
to Immediately.
From what we are able to learn Of
conditions in the trenches, II is not
possible TO get medical assistance TO
any one in time to prevent fatal re-
suits. II is necessary to Immediately
cauterize the wound If in the body or
head, or to amputate il in the limb, as
there seems to be no antidote that will
counteract the poison.
at can be seen from this that this
she'll is more effective than the regular
shrapnel, since the wounds caused by
shrapnel balls and fragments in the
muscles are not as dangerous, as they
have no poisonous element making
prompt attention necessary"

INTRENCH IN BALTIC
RUSSIA, GERMAN PLAN
rBy cabl. to TIE Tribunal

Paris. June l9.-COmmandant
CivrieuI, military editor OF lie
Matin," who Is familiar with the
topography Of Gallcia. In a lecture
before the American Club OF Paris
to-day estimated that nearly 2,OOo,-
900 Austro- German troops were en-
gagged In the Galician campaign.
NJ. Ciyrieux says furious efforts
are now being made by the Ger
mans on the eastern front, due TO
Kaiser Wilhelm's determination to
make a supreme effort TO sweep the
Russians out OF Austria-Hungary
and to push the German lines far
into Courland and the Baltic prov
inces Of Russia There the Ger
mans would dig in as they have
done In Northern France and Bel
gium, and remain in underground
trenches and say, Now, then, try
TO dislodge u.s." according to Com
mandant Civrieux. Germanys
strategic network of railroads is OF
immense advantage to such a plan,
while Russian railways are nearly
all single line roads and made
quate.
Ciyrieux Is confident of the ulti-
mate success of the Allies, but
thinks the war must last fully an
other year.

STAHL MAY TELL
ALL IN GUN QUIZ
New Witnesses Will Add to Plot
Testimony Over the Lusi-
tania Case.

Several new witnesses will be
brourht before the Federal grand jury
when it resumes its inquiry into the
Stahl-Lusitania affidavit scandal TO-
morrow. This was admitted yesterday
Nv Joseph A. Baker, assistant super
intendent of the local investigation bu-
reau of the Department Of Justice.
Strenuous efforts are being. made by
Federal agents TO gather proof OF the
conspiracy of German Secret Service
agents. who, they think, were respon,
sible for the making OF the alleged
false affidavits.
Heinz Hardenberg. German agent
and friend of Gustave Stahl, the IN
dicted reservist, and of Paul KoeniG,
alleged head Of the German Secret ser
vice organization in this country, has
not been found by the Federal agents
who were looking for him until yes
terday. William H. Oftley, OF the in
vestigation bureau, said last night that
he was no longer interested in locating
Hardenberg.
Gle is no longer a material witness
for the government" Mr. Ohley said
"Stahl has been indicted without him,
and we don't care where Hardenberg is
now. If there are other indictments
they will be found without Harden
berg's testimony"
Rumors were aAoat in the Federal
Building yesterday that Stahl, realizing
his hopeless prospects, had consented
TO tell all he knows about the alleged
conspiracy.
According to another rumor, Richard
p. Stegler, who has just served a pris-
on sentence for defrauding the United
States government by means Of illegiti-
mate passports, and who named Cap
tain Karl Boyd, German naval at
tacb6. has volunteered to appear before
the grand jury and tell what he knows
about the alleged German Secret Ser
vice activities.

NO WAR CARGOES
FOR AMERICAN LINE
st. Paul Carries Mohawk Prin-
cess, Who Is to Wed Rus
sian Captain.

When the American liner St. Paul
sailed yesterday for Liverpool an
nouncement was made by the company
that its vessels had not carried, and
would not carry, munitions Of war or
ammunition. The vessel was laden to
capacity with general cargo and had a
full passenger complement.
Among the passengers was Miss
Esther Deer, a full-blooded Indian Of
the Mohawk tribe, who is on her way
to Liverpool to marry Captain Kra-
sicki, Of the Russian army, stationed
at Kiev. Miss Deer, who says she is
descended from the first known chief
Of the tribe, is known as Princess
White Deer. Her iance, she said, had
agreed to meet her at Liverpool when
the fighting on the Russian west front
eased up a bit.
Granville Barker, the theatrical
manager and producer, went home on
the St. Paul, promising to return in
the fall.
The Cunarder 0rduna, with 10000
tons of general cargo, consisting
largely of foodstuffs and provisions,
sailed for Liverpool half hour late.
She carried sixty motor trucks. lashed
to her deck, but there was no ammu-
milton on board. She carried twenty
saloon, 100 second and 900 steerage
passengers.
On the Italian liner Dante Alighieri
there were 1850 Italian reservists,
practically all of them travelling in
the steerage. The French liner Ro-
chambeau also sailed, with a fairly
large passenger complement and full
cargo Of supplies for the French
troops.

Weber Pacha, the German general
commanding the south group, gave the
Correspondent every opportunity 70
visit the Seddul Bahr district, placing
10 restrictions whatever upon the cor
respondents movements. The result
was thorough inspection OF the
ground. Weber Pacha made no com
ment on the situation himself beyond
saving that "the failure of the Allies
TO consummate their plan Of forcing
the Dardanelles is too obvious for dis
cusgion."
Weber Pacha, who is a member Of
the German military mission which un-
dertook the improvement Of the Otto
man army organization, is fully conf
dent that the Turks will be able to
meet the Gallipoli sitaution and that
the Allies will never advance against
the Dardanelles forts.
II has been ascertained that only
few German officers are active l. the
south group. German privates are en-
ploycd in special lines.
Krithia, once a thriving village Of
about four thousand inhabitants, is
probably the most ruined city in all
Europe. The Allies left no house stand
