LOCATE ENEMY TRANSPORTS.
Defending Force Wins First Point in
Bio Naval War Game.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The fleet OF
enemy transports, bringing an invad-
ing army, to be landed on the Atlantic
seaboard, has been found by the de-
Tending fleet and the first point in the
big naval war game goes to the de-
Tending forces. Today the big wire
less towers at Arlington picked up
orders being sent from Rear Admiral
Helms flagship, disposing his line to
meet developments.
No word has come Of the where
abouts of the hostile feet commanded
by Admiral Mayo.
Admiral Helm is sweeping the ocean
toward the last known position OF the
enemy with line of scouts covering
several hundred miles. An inner line
Of scouts also is being maintained and
close to the coast the submarine
Aotilla is ready should the enemy in
wade the outer line.

War With United States.
Washington, Aug. 24.-Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, author OF the policy
of unrestricted submarine warfare up
on merchant craft. has issued a mani
festo demanding war with the United
States.
Information to this effect has been re-
ceived by the state department and has
caused considerable concern to the Of
ficials. Won Tirpitz insists in his state
ment that Germany is handicapped in
the prosecution Of her life-and- death
struggle by the limitations imposed up
on submarine operations by the Ger
man government, at the instance of the
United States.
He argues that this country, in any
case, is hostile to Germany and that
the time has gone by to consider its
wishes. He believes should the United
States enter the war on the side Of the
allies it would do no more harm to the
German cause than 1t already has done.
Published in Berlin,
The text of the Won Tirpitz memo
randum was published by the Berlin
newspapers. The foreign correspond
ents were not permitted to transmit
1t to their papers. AS a consequence
only the neutral diplomats have been
able to forward 1t by cipher messages
and in their official mail pouches.
It is not believed by the authorities
that the kaiser will permit himself and
his government to be influenced into
the adoption Of hostile policy toward
the United States. Nevertheless, it is
considered highly significant that the
papers were permitted to publish Won
Tirpitz' manifesto and that at the same
time the German authorities gave to
the press the fact that the American
government had made confidential in
Quiries In regard to a submarine at
tack on the American steamer Oswego.

Germany to Float New Loan.

London, Aug 24.--Arangeme have
been complete ed for the flotation of the
fifth German war loan. An Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from The Hague
say the loan will be issued Sept. 4, and
the interest rate viii! be 5 per cent, as
in the case of the previous loans. Sub
scriptions will5be rec eceived up to Oc..

will be 9S. !.
Count Won Ruedern has taken meas
ures to popularze the loan, which is
described as "the last war loan. For
mrr issues of war bonds may be
turned In as Inscriptions.
The fourth German war loan was is
sued inrMarch. II was sold at 9Sh as
against SO for the third loan. An Is
sue price OF 9s for the new bonds
would indicate that Germany in com
mon with ether belligerents Is being

Officials Are Hopeful Worst Is Over.

New York, Aug 24.--Health depart
ment officials were encouraged oy to-
days reports on the infantile paralysis
epidemic, which showed a substantial
decrease in deaths and new cases. Dur
ing the past twenty four nours thirty
four children died and 109 were strick-
On. sThis compares favorably with yes
terday's figures Of forty-two deaths
and 131 new cases. ...
The daily average of new cases thus
far this week has been Ill. as against
100 last week. and the death average
unchanged at thirty-three. Patients
discharged as recovered now number
1877
More than half million dollars has
already been spent here In fighting the
epidemic and caring for patients. health
department officials estimated today.
Majority Are Immune.
Despite a belief that infantile para
lysis seldom attacks more than one
member of a family, figures prepared
by the United States public health SER
vice shows that In 227 families here
more than one child has had the dis
ease. In more than 200 OF these fam
lilies only two children were afflicted.
while In twenty families three children
have suffered attacks. In one family
there were five cases. .
Nevertheless the health officers as
sert that the average indicates that the
great majority Of children are not sus-
ceptible to paralysis. In the first 1000
cases only 3.3S per cent Of the children
were sisters or brothers OF those who
had the disease.
Most department stores are now re-
fusing to permit the return off chill
dren's clothing or toys after having
been delivered. Some of the stores re-
fuse to accept returns of any kind from
buildings in which cases Of paralysis
have occurred. The department oi
