as to whether the government should
take over the ships for its use and pay
for them after the war.
German vessels now in American
ports number 81 with a gross tonnage
Of about 100000.
Since the president delivered his war
message to congress these ships had
been under a heavy guard stationed
by the collector Of the port.
Their officers have said that, lying
at their docks since the beginning Of
the war, these vessels have become SO
fouled and their slips SO choked with
mud that 1t would have been virtually
impossible for them to get away unless
they were extricated by dredges.
At various times there had been re-
ports that the machinery and boilers
had been wrecked by their German
crews, but of this there was no official
confirmation.
Chancellor McGovern, after board
ing the North German Lloyd steamer
Whilehad at New London, said that its
engines were apparently in good condi-
ton.
The ships taken over, ports in which
they were seized, and their tonnage

Rumor of German
Defeat Stirs CITY

After dinner-News sounds bet
ter tonight. Although there is
nothing very definite, the impress
sion is that the Belgians have come
out victorious to-day in an engage
ment near Tirlemont. Dhope to get
some news later in the evening.
During lull in the proceedings
this afternoon, ! got in Blount's car
and went out to Brooks, to see his
horses and arrange to have him send
them in for our use every after
noon.
The Avenue de Tervueren, a
broad boulevard with a parkway
down the centre, is the most direct
way into town from the scene of the
fighting, and there has been a gem
eral belief that the Germans might
rush a force into town in motors
that way. In order to be ready for
anything of the sort, a barricade has
been made of heavy tram cars placed
at right angles across the road, so
that they do not absolutely stop
traffic, but compel motors to slow
down and pick their way, thus:

twenty-five men, banged away in a

Yesterday afternoon when the

city a Belgian officer gave chase in
a monoplane, but could not catch
them. Contests Of this sort are
more exciting TO the crowd than
any fancy aviation stunts that are
done at exhibitions, and the whole

Namur we heard frenzied cheer
ing down by the Porte Louise. The
chauffeur is a regular old war
horse who does not want to miss a
trick. He cast questioning glance
over his shoulder; and, catching my
nod, put on full speed down the
boulevard until we came to a solid
crowd banked along the line of
march of more French cavalry.
The people in the crowd had
bought out the nearby shops Of
cigars and cigarettes and chocolate
and small TASKS of brandy, and as
each man rode by he was loaded
up with as much as he could carry.
The d6fl6 had been going on for
over an hour, but the enthusiasm
was still boundless. All the cafes
around the Porte Louise sent out
walters and mattresses with trays
of beer to meet the troops as they
came into the Avenue Louise. Each
man would snatch a glass of beer,
swallow it as he rode along and
hand the glass back to others who
were waiting with empty trays a
hundred yards or so down the line
of march.
The men were evidently very tired,
and it was an effort for them to
show any appreciation of their re-
ception, but they made the effort
and croaked out, "Vive Ia BeIgique"
The French and British troops can
have anything they want in this
country. They will be lucky, though,
if they escape without acute indi-
gestion.

Sixth fnstaiment Tomorrow
On the Screen
Ince Picture Shows Spread of
Mercy Among Ger
man People

Thomas II. Ince sets out TO prove in
his latest picture that there is some
thing not rotten in Prussia. He shows
the spread of mercy and enlighten-
ment in the land Of the oppressor and
insists that we have no quarrel with
the German people.
The picture is called 1.-THE Zeppelin's
Last Raid" II was shown before an
invited gathering at the Broadway
Theatre yesterday morning.
II seems strange to view picture
dealing with the war from the stand
point of the German people. Are there
really warm hearted, lmpulslye Ger
mans who shudder at the sight of bru-
tally who are working TO lay aside,
forever. the sword?
"The Zeppelin's Last RAID is writ
ten by c. Gardner Sullivan. who was
responsible for Civilization" The
featured players are Enid Mackey and
Hazard Hickman, but really the most
important thing in the picture is the
Zeppelin. Nothing at al like il has
been shown on the screen.
A Zeppelin is great airship as big
as a coast liner. The pictures show
the monster in repose, and later It is
seen scudding through the skies.
Mr.. Hickman is the commander Of
this aerial vessel, and just before he
is sent out TO drop bombs q la Boche
on defenceless towns he Is made to
see the error Of his ways. From being
a Prussian he joins the ever-increasing
Red Cross army which stands for hu-
mainly and seeks TO overthrow Kaiser
ism. II is called the Legion of Lib
erty.
The commander has received wireless
orders to drop the first bomb but still
he waits, unable 10 declare himself for
fear of hurtiHo the cause TO which he
has dedicated himself.
As he hestates another wireless mes
sage reaches him. II is in code and
says: Owe have made our stand and
won. The hour Of liberty is at hand. y
Throwing back his jacket, the young
commander shows the emblem OF his
order, the red cross on his bosom.
He is not able to sway his men by
reason and a mutiny follows. The
commander is shot, but before he falls
he pulls the lever which destroys the
huge monster
There are some smashing scenes
where the Zeppelin is seen falling
through the clouds, a burning mass.
and the illusion is perfect.
Il Is explained on the programme
that every Zeppelin is equipped with r
contrivance which will ignite charge
Of dynamite and blow the big cigar 10
pieccs. This is so that in case Of capt
ure the secrets Of its construction may
not be divulged. &C., -,
There is only one thing which. would
add 10 TIE lnce picture. That ~ ina;
il might be written in the past instead
Of in the future tense. H. u
