GERMANS GET TIP
TO OBEY j. S. Laws
Won Bernstorff Tells Consuls
TO So Instruct KaiSer'S
Subjects Here
BELIEVE KAISER
ISSUED ORDERS
BY The United Press

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-The first
step in the new German campaign TO
stop alleged lawlessness by Germans
IN the United States was announced
by Ambassador Bernstorff today. The
embassy made the following formal
statement:
"In consequence OF cases that have
occurred Of late. German Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff sent instructions to all
the German cOnsuls in the United
States 10 strongly impress on Ger
man citizens living in their districts
that it is their duty TO scrupulously
obey the laws OF the States in which
they reside"
Although Bernstorff would not have
issued such instructions without di-
rection from Berlin. it is known that
he was instrumental in showing the
German foreign Office the wisdom OF
such a policy. He has for some time
argued with Berlin officials that not
withstandng Germanys Official dis
claimer OF responsibility for German
violations OF the United States laws
such independent acts were doing the
German cause in America a great deal
Of harm and that IL would be wise for
Germany to take even more energetic
steps to convince the United States
that she was in no way responsible
for what had occurred.

TO renew APPEAL
FOR BELGIAN RELIEF
DR.. Anet Tells Wilmington
ians Suffering of People
is Again Acute
PEASANTS ROBBED
OF CROPS, CATTLE

A renewed appeal is to be made for
funds to help the people of Belgium
who have been made sufferers by the
European war. Contributions should
be sent to the Rev. Charles l.. Can
dee Of Westminster Presbyterian
Church: the Rev. William II. Laird
rector Of Emmanuel Episcopal Church
and the Rev. Herbert +. Randolph
pastor OF Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church
The condition of the Belgians and
the need OF aid in their material and
spiritual affairs was touchingly set
forth in the address delivered by
Henri X. Anet. b. d.. LII. D., delegate
to the Franco-Belgium committee OF
evangelization, at Grace Church last
night
The distress OF the population Of
Belgium and the portion of Northern
France now under Germanic rule is
appalling beyond all description, Mr..
Anet said. Many would actually
starve but for the generous help of
the American Relief Commission. The
people are unemployed. the peasants
have been robbed OF crops and cat
tie. the shOp-keepers of their stores
and the clerks and other trained work
ing people without means OF provid-
ing an income. Even the well-to-do
people are generally without means
of subsistence. The churches de-
stroyed and almost without means for
conducting religious worship.
Mr.. Anet told dramatically OF how
religious work had been conducted in
the stricken district almost in the
midst of bursting shells and the other
terrOrs Of war. A remarkable spirit
ual awakening is taking place. he
said. among the soldiers in the French
and Belgian armies. The need of as
sistance in providing for these men
spiritually is great. About all that is
left for these people is faith in the
Church Of Christ. I'VE don't dare TO
think what another winter of German
occupation will mean for our nation
and for Protestant congregations" DR.
Anet said

Police believe
FIREBUG CAUSED
MIDNIGHT blaze
Burning Boxes Found Near
Apartment After Fire DAM
ages Nearby Building
PROPERTY Loss IN
EXCESS OF $1,000

Apparently the work Of an incen-
diary. the butcher store OF Fleith &
Barber, No. 2O9 King street. was gut
ted by fire shortly before midnight
last night and adjoining properties
slightly damaged. Within thirty min
utes after the district fremen had ex-
tinguished this blaze they were sum-
moned to the northwest corner Of Sec
ond and King streets, an apartment
house for colored families. where a
fence was found to be ablaze. Accord
ing to a woman who lives opposite the
butcner store. she saw a man sitting
on a stand in front Of the building
shortly before the fire was discovered
The alarm for the first fire was sent
in from Box No. 81. Third and King
streets. by William Adler. of No. los
West Seventh street BY the time the
iiremen arrived the entire front of the
building was IN flames. The upper por-
tion of the building is used as store
room by Levy q Goldberg, who conduct
a department store in the corner prop
,crty. Second and King streets. The
stock in this building was damaged
considerably by smoke and water.
Adjoining the butcher store is the fish
stand of the Delaware Fish Company,
which also was damaged. The loss on
the Barber property and contents
amounted 10 about $1,000, partly In
sured. The loss to the Delaware Fish
Company is about $50.
What caused the firemen and the
police to believe that the FIRE was
started by a fire bug was the dis
cOvery OF the second fire in boxes
piled against the colored apartment
house at Second and King streets,
about 1890 o'clock. Julian Slomanson,
a cigar store clerk, was returning to
his home when he discovered the
blaze An alarm was again sounded
from Box No. 81. II was evident that
a lighted match had been applied 10
the boxes against the building.
Luckily. the inmates OF the build
ing has all been awakened by the
clatter OF the fire apparatus at the
first fire and they were not asleep
when the fire was discovered against
their home.
During the latter fire. the Washing
ingtOn firemen christened Assistant

HOPE TO Invade ITALY
"a The Trnlted Press.

AMSTERDAM May 1S.-Three hun
dred thousand Austrians concentrated
on thirty-mile front are striking
against the italian lines on the Tyro-
lese Alps in the most determined Aus
trian offensive against Italy since the
war began. The official dispatches
transmitted. from Vienna contain no
hint as 10 the exact nature OF the Op-
crations. Several Berlin military
critics intimated today that the Aus
trians are developing a great often
sive and are bent on the invasion Of
northern Italy.
The fighting is spreading eastward
from the Adige river valley across
high Alpine peaks and rocky pla-
teaus. The Italians have been driven
southwark on a fve-mile front ex-
tending from Piazza to the upper AS
tico Valley. The Vienna war Office
claims the capture OF Zegnatorta,

COAL Prices SOAR
Starting JULY |
Sliding Increase Scale Will
Add 40 Cents Per Ton
by October |
PEA GRADE TO GO UP
ONLY THIRTY CENTS

Starting with July 1 there will be
a 10 cent increase per ton TO the
local consumer on all grades OF coal
but pea, and a further increase of 10
cents a month for three months
thereafter, making a total increase
over the present price of 40 cents
per ton by October 1. In the case Of
pea coal the increase in that grade
does not start until August 1. and
the total increase will be 30 cents
ton.
Announcement OF the proposed new
schedule is being made by the Will
mington retail dealers. In Philadel-
phia the increase was effective the
first OF this month. but here It has
been decided 10 not start the in
crease until July and August 1.
These increases. IL is claimed, are
necessary because of an INCREASE at
the mines.
Ii has been customary in past years
for the local retailers 90 make re-
duction OF so cents ton on coal
April 1, but this reduction was not
made this year. the price having re-
mained the same since last Septem-
Der. and will remain the same until
July I. At the Office OF one of the
retail dealers. Il was stated today that
many consumers here believe that
they pay the same price for what is
termed a short ton as is paid for the
full ton in Philadelphia. This, he
explained. is not true. In Whining
ton the ton is 1000 pounds net. and
Philadelphia 2.24O gross. but the price
OF the Philadelphia ton is so cents
more than is paid in this city. He
also explained that the dealers in
Wilmington pay 10 cents ton more
freight than the Philadelphia dealers.

prices of the various grades Of coal al
