warn ship CAPTAINS
OF BOMBS IN BEEF
German Agents Plot to Destroy
American and Allied Vessels.

Masters of American and allied
steamships sailing from Atlantic ports
for allied ports have been warned 20
examine closely all cans consigned
abroad for evidence of incendiary and
chlorine gas bombs.
Plots by German agents to destroy
vessels. said to have been discovered
in England. are responsible fo- the
warning. 1t us know that German
agents are operating in this country,
and IL their plots abroad include the
placing of bombs and chlorine gas
on steamships. government officials
believe the same scheme would be
tried here.
Bombs are said to have been placed
aboard steamships in English ports in
cans bearing the label Of corned beef.
Cans containing poisoned corn beef
were also discovered.
This brand of corn beef among which
the bombs were found will be barred
from all American and allied ships
hereafter.
The incendiary bomb, after a GER
tain time, ignites and causes intense
heat, which sets of the other cans
and starts a flame hard to extinguish.
A storehouse could be destroyed by
several OF these boxes of cans be-
coming ignited.
The chlorine gas bomb is harmless
until a can-opener is stuck into the
lid. Then there issues clouds of chlo-
rine gas which suffocates those with
in its reach.

Steel men Agree
ON FEDERAL Price
Understanding Between War Board
and Interests Expected This Week.

An agreement between the War In
dustries Board and the steel interests
as to the price of steel for the United
States and her allies will be arranged
this week, 1t was learned yesterday.
These are likely to be the terms OF
the agreement:
The price of steel will be fixed at
approximately $50 q ton. The steel in
terests will agree to furnish material
to this government and the allies for
the same price. an informal agree
ment will be made that II the steel
men furnished their product at the
agreed upon price, the excess profits
tax will be modified; the steel inter-
ests shall retain the right TO collect
bonuses from allied governments for
early delivery of contracts.
From an unquestionable source It
was learned yesterday that neither the
War BoardS nor the steel men are
anxious to come to a Showdown" 3"
While the board feels secure in its
position, and believes it can exercise
its Communicating power through the
Secretary of War, to bring the steel
men TO time, II has no banking for
step that may bring litigation and
delay,
The steel men, on the other hand,
believe they could delay any comman-
deering program on the part of the
government, but are unwilling to en-
ter into such a dispute because Of
public opinion. The War Board is not
afraid, it was stated yesterday by a
member, and is ready to exercise its
Communicating power at the first signs
of resistance from manufacturers, but
rrefers an amicable understanding.

MUST War TO finish,
DECLARES M'CUMBER
North Dakota Senator Predicts Con-
hict Will Last Several Years.

The dogs Of war chased the peace
proponents out Of the Capitol yester-
day.
Just about the time that everyone
was expecting Senator Jones to turn
loose a flood of oratory on the war
adherents, Senator McCumber, Of
North Dakota, arose to talk on the
war revenue bill. He comes from
the same State as the new Representa-
tive, John NJ. Baer, whose National
Nonpartisan League wants President
Wilson to state anew Americas war
aims.
Senator McCumber declared fatty
that unless this nation is prepared
to fight the war to a finish, 1t has
committed a grievous crime against
humanity and itself by ever entering
II.
Russia is to stay out OF the war
entirely, he held. and therefore he
eliminated her in his calculations.
The Senator reviewed German
prowess, saying that nation now has
the advantage. Great Britain has been
dreaming" he continued. The great
task is ahead of the United States,
he predicted, and this country must
contemplate a war of several years,
with annually "an ever greater out
lay Of treasure"

given ten days in which to make UP
her mind whether she will accept

KAISER'S TELEGRAM
Is MADE PUBLIC
State Department Gives Out Empe-
ror's Communication to Wilson.

The State Department yesterday
made public officially for the press
the text of the telegram from Inc
Kaiser to President Wilson on August
IA, 1914. in which the Kaiser sought
to justify the invasion of Belgium.
This telegram in facsimile of the
Kaiser's handwriting was published
in a copyrighted article by James w.
Gerard, ex-Ambassador to Germany.
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger
last week. Such publication of an
official document under a copyright
caused severe criticism, and its gen.
eral release to the press is aimed to
meet this criticism which the Presi-
dent evidently considered justified.
Mr.. Wilson gave permission for Mr..
Gerard TO use the letter in his book
and the advance newspaper INSTALL
ments of it.

Good Work Reported by
American Squadrons in
English Channel.

Reports made public at the Navy
Department yesterday further confirm
the good work that the Simms' squad
rons are doing against the submarines
in the English channel and the North
Sea-
Three disasters were officially an
nounced. All of them were to the
south Of the usual field Of subma-
rine activity. Two OF the ships at
tackled were sailing ships. The third
was the victim of a mine.
The Campana, whose destruction
was announced Sunday was also sunk
outside the usual submarine zone.
Fear for Captain.
The State Department yesterday ad-
mitted its concern over the fate of the
captured captain of the Campana and
the four members of his armed guard.
Inquiry has been made through Swiss
and Spanish channels to ascertain
from Berlin what their fate is and
what Germany intends to do with
them.
1t was stated at the department that
while reprisals were possible legally
there was little disposition to employ
them, either in the United States or
among any of the allies. There is
no intention to compete against
Shrechlichkeit. The allies have always
al gued that there is little gained by
the German frightfulness and they
are not going to take it up them
selves.
Department Has No News.
No explanation of the disaster to
the steamer City of Athens, appar-
emily sunk by a mine near Cape
Town, Africa, was forthcoming from
the department. Such information
as the department had related only
to the lost and the survivors.
The vessel had on board a large
party of INSTRUMENTATION mis-
sionaries bound for posts in the in
terror of Africa. At least five and
possibly more Americans were lost.
The Navy Department yesterday
received word of the sinking of the
American barque Christiane off the
Azores on August z. All of the crew
were safely landed at Punta del
Gada.
Crew of sherman Safe.
The department has also been in
formed that the crew of the Amer
lean schooner A. B. Sherman has
been landed at a British port. The
crew announced that they had been
attacked by a submarine off Sierra
Leone on June &c. The schooner
was looted and the crew set adrift
in their boat. They were picked up
by a passing steamer and brought
into Sierra Leone. whence they have
just returned to England.
Disaster to the A. B. Sherman has
already been reported here. She was
picked up. abandoned at sea, and
towed to port. At that time moth
ing was known of a submarine at
tack upon her. and the crew, from
yesterdays dispatch. were appar-
emily unaware that their vessel had
been saved after they had been sent
away from her.

FRENCH PRESS RAISES PRICE.

Paris, Aug. 13.-The French press has
decided to raise the price of news
papers to 2 cents beginning Sep

the necessity of the increase because
the cost OF paper has quadrupled since
the outbreak of the war and all other
expenses are higher. The newspapers
will henceforth be able to publish
only four pages five times weekly.
