CHINESE CITY OVERRUN
 BY AUSTO-GERMANS
fASsOcidted preSSl

PEITAIHO, China, Oct 3.-This summer resort on the coast north of Tientsin will proba ply be one of the most popular centers in China for Germans and Austrians during the con. tinuation of the war.
 Many prominent Germans from Shanghai, Tientsin, Pekin and other important cities in North China, have summer homes at Peitaiho. Since German business has been practically stopped by the war most of the Ger man families owning property in Peit- aiho, have arranged to convert their summer homes into winter residences as well, and will remain here through out the year.
 The German legation has a large summer home and barracks here, where a number of interned sailors are living. A band and orchestra has been organized, and the Germans have prepared to have varied community life here throughout the winter.

Germans Are Bled

British Publicist Predicts
Kaiser's Army Is Weak
ening

From a stsr Correspondent Of The Trlbunsl
LONDON, Aug. 6.-J. l.. Garvin says
in Yesterdays observer:
"Worse than the confessed faction OF
hand -suppers are the furtive element
of fed-uppers. Worse than these
though he won't fights be who eats
as though in the daily price of his
food he were daring death-of others.
Far worse, even than this, is the citi-
zen who never had any conscientious
objection. who was perhaps very
lingo for easy victory, but who at the
unacceptable pinch of this long war
proves to be only a patriot carved IN
butter"
In his long article Garvin writes:
Germany is being bled white. Every
action like this (the Flanders often
sive) tells in spite of masquerading
bulletins. The truth percolates and
penetrates.
There can be no negotiation withcu:
evacuation he continues. "The Allies
will not have sufficient power TO nego-
tiate until the Americans are ready.
Then they will have all the cards. Just
as steadily as we have believed aud
stated for many months that the war
would have to go on through another
winter, so we are convinced that with
America ready it will end victorious!y
just before winter next year"
Garvin advocates a fight to a finish
with an uncompromising opponent.

DR.. Kuehlmann Opposed
to Ruthless Warfare

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 6.-ln chsrac-
ter sketch of DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the
"Nieuwe Courant," Of The Hague, says
that he has always been vigor-
Gus opponent of ruthless submarine
warfare. He is also, says the news
paper. a disciple of the policy of doing
everything possible to avoid the fur
ther alienation of Great Britain, be-
lieving that after-the-war friendship
between Great Britain and Germany is
necessary TO the latter.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the "Nieuwe
Courant" adds, is an anti-anneXation-
ist. and the newspaper expresses the
opinion that in the Foreign Secretary
ship he will do his utmost to bring
about an understanding with England
at the earliest possible time.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann is one of the
youngest diplomats in the service of
the Kaiser and is an imperial favorite.
He was born in Constantinople on
March II, 1873. His father was di-
rector of the Anatolian Railway.
When the war broke out DR.. Won
Kuehlmann was counsellor TO the Ger
man Embassy in London, and up TO the
very moment that Great Britain en-
tered the war stood firm in his advice
to the ambassador that that nation
would keep out.
He is a short, stocky man, with a
bristling red mustache. plain-spoken
manner and a reputation for wit. Dur
ing his stay in London he became pop
ular socially, and retained the respect
of his former friends there until they
were alienated by his later activities
in Holland. He holds the insignia of
British, Italian, Russian and Dutch
orders.
From London he was sent 70 join
the staff of the German Embassy in
Washington. and during the earlier and
almost unrecogniZed days Of German
propaganda in this country is said to
have been a successful leader in the
work.
So pleased was the Kaiser with his
achievements that DR.. Kuehlmann's
next post was that of Minister at The
Hague, where he succeeded DR.. Mueller.
He was assiduous in pointing out TO
the Netherlands the arrogant manner
in which Great Britain was infringing
upon their rights and debating their
commercial policy.
Reports Of his zeal reached Berlin
as we'll a. London, and in the latter
part Of 1916 Dr. Kuehlmann was sent
to Constantinople as ambassador, sue

U.Boat Rumors Close
Nets Guarding Harbor

Rumors that German submarines
were lurking off the Atlantic Coast
caused the War Department yesterday
to order closed. the great steel nets
that guard the Port of New York. From
l a. m. to a. m. they remained shut.
although opened for few minutes at
q. m. to admit large British ateamer.
Several incoming vessels reported
sighting a submarine, some OF them as
close as eighteen miles from shore.
Officials of the navy yard refused TO
say anything about the situation apart
from stating that the nets had been
closed in accordance with instructions
from Washington.
The closing Of the port affected
chiefly the tugs and barges which
nightly take the loads of city garbage
to the disposal plant on Barren Island.
A few other small vessels were also de-
layed in leaving.
