FOUND IN POSSESSION
OF GERMAN PRISONER

Seattle, Aug. 13.-Richard II. Leh-
mann, a German arrested here Sat
urday, had in his possession maps Of
the Straits of Juan De Fuca, Puget
sound coast defenses, and the Puget
sound naval station, and had made
soundings in the strait and at Noah
bay, Washington, according TO a
statement made today by federal Of
ficials.
Other articles taken from among
Lehmann's possessions included r
considerable quantity of chemicals
and poisons, a high powered rifle
with Maxim silencer, and pair of
marine observation glasses.
The prisoner said that he was a
fisherman and the maps were of as
sistance to him in that pursuit.

The war has changed all this. The
gold of Europe has flowed to this
country in never ending stream;
our foreign trade has increased over
100 per cent; countries which have
hitherto looked to Europe for money
for their development and for manu-
featured products for the needs OF
their people, have been compelled
to turn to this country. The United
States is at the present time the fin
anclal and commercial center of the
world and will most probably remain
so. After the war an impoverished
Europe will be compelled to come to
this country for money and material
resources. The Central and South
American nations, as well as China
and Russia, will also be compelled to
turn to this country for capital for
their development.
These changes will open up to the
man with training such opportunities
as the world has not hitherto known.
In all four fields of commerce-pro-
duction, marketing, finance, and &C
counting--there will be p nand

background with fairly wide green
stripes and a hairline blue stripe in
the center and on the sides of the
green. Bolder stripes in various
bright colors also widen the variety
of the striped fabrics. For separ-
ate skirts these new stripes and
plaids are particularly smart and may
be worn effectively with coats of a
plain color.
The Tie-On Dress.
The tie-on dress in wool jersey,
satin, shantung or taffeta is very
familiar sight these days, for every
one seems to possess dress cut on
these lines. The model illustrated
above is one of those very wearable
frocks which fit in on many occas-
ions. 1t has not only its tie-on style
to recommend it, but the straight ef-
feet of the pleated skirt and the side
pockets with the contrasting laps
which are still counted among the
fashion features of the hour.
Tie-on styles have been SO much
Of a success that not only have we
dresses with sash-ends that tie at the
back, but separate waists also, and
the very latest is coat suit made
on these lines. A very modish suit
1t makes. too. The one / saw was
of mustard colored shantung with a
large white collar. The coat was
about finger-tip length and the front
was cleverly cut to across in front
and tie behind, while the coat proper
extended below the hips.

and suits, and sprinkled here and
there among them we even see heavy
coats with fur collars and fur trim
mings. In the face of all this, even
those of US who have been set against
the idea OF rushing the seasons can
not help showing some curiosity as
to what we shall wear when the cool
weather comes. And, after all,
there is some method in this seeming
madness, and something to be said
for the reason of It, For those who
have to get their wardrobes early 1t
must be considered great privilege
to have a peep into the fashions for
autumn as early as this. for certain
ly no one would relish the idea OF
making over dress that had been
made one or two months before the
autumn styles became known, which
might very, easily happen IL dresses

mer are not planned with view to
having them stylish for fall wear.
The Long Tunic Prominent
There is no doubt that the long
tunic will be popular for the coming
season-everything goes to show
this. In the very newest models the
tunic is employed and in ever 80
many charming ways. In the smart
dress illustrated above, the long
tunic, pressed into straight pleats
and parted at the side, shows one OF
the favored designs. Buttons placed
close together on the one side and
bound buttonholes-just as many OF
them as there are buttons-on the
other side, make the opening OF the
tunic much more interesting, for this
is certainly novel treatment and
one which will attract lovers of the
unusual. The dress, with its straight
bodice and straight stitched belt, is
very characteristic of that smart SIM
plicity which now marks great
many of the new models. This dress
in satin or scrso would undoubtedly
prove very useful for a between-sea
son frock.
Other styles in TUNES are gathered
at the top, with deep contrasting
band across the bottom which falls
in points at the sides. The upper
part is unusually of sheer materia

Dear Sir: The Readers of tn,
Press no doubt appreciate the kind
ness of Supt. Williams in the issue
of the Press of two weeks ago fol
the information concerning oul
school debt. 1t should now be no
longer a question ae to our real
situation, Whereas we have here
tofore been able to start in on our
fall termr without any money or
without any money or debt, this
year finds us "in a hole" to the
tune of $4,000. If, in the past it
has been hard on the teachers,
what will the future be? If it has
been hard to purchase necessary
school supplies and to have some
needed help in repairing build
ings in the past, what ray of hope
does the future afford How can
school authorities expect teachers
to get through next year? Here
at Coalfeld we cannot buy broom,
dipper or box of chalk, nor hire
an hours work on the prospect of
a school warrant.
In the first place. the question
arises, "When can we get the war
rant?" and the next is, "What can
1 do with it whom l get it?" To
these questions have no reply.
Now, let us all say amen to the
sentiment expressed by the editor
in the same issue, The Superin-
tendent and the Chairman of the
Board of Education could no doubt
devise a a plan to pay off the old
debt and start in the new year
with a clean bill of fare.
In our opinion a bond issue |
would be the simplest and least
burdensome plan. This is the plan
pursued by other counties,
By all means let this matter en-
gage the attention of the County
Court at its April term.

Socialist Party Has Failed In Mission,
 Is Spargo's Belief

John Spargo, whose withdrawal from the Socialist party in the Unit ed States is announced, bases his ac- ton on the alleged ineficiency of the organism to promote socialism. and not because he has ceased to be an internationalist or an anti-m1litar1st. The pro-German attitude of the par ty prior to and following the en- trance of the United States into war he cannot acquiesce in or defend; and as a matter of socialist tactics he considers the policy as futile and fn- ept as it is wrong in theory! MT. Spargo Is a native of Cornwall, Eng land, and supplemented study in the schools by university extension courses at Cambridge and Oxford Universities. In 1901, coming to the United States, he entered on pro- paganda,. both as a speaker and as a writer; and in a short time he be- came one of the best known and most widely read of the party's adherents. It is doubtful whether any American socialist has approached him in the variety or the prolific quality of his writings. Pure theory, however, has not been his only field of operation.
 In administration of the party he has served on national and mtnterna- int g. tiona1 assignments, and iS we'll known among the European leaders. His

"War" On Russian Front

Terrific charges are being witness ed these days on the Russian front where the German and Russian
 trenches are almost within speaking distance of each other If you watch long enough you will see first the Russians come out of the ground set up a great yell and rush for the Ger man trench opposite. When they reach it they will suddenly stop and, with just as much yelling, return to their own trenches. Presently you will see the Germans chamber out and repeat the performance. Here is the reason for all this charging and counter-charging,'' during which, by the way, not shot is fired. The Ger man troops want food and the Rus sians strong drink. The Russians have the former, the Germans the latter and SO they just exchange pro- ducts. The F'ritzes set up a sign mark ed Ready" and the Russians start their "charge'' for the bottles of brandy which have been set up out side the trench. After they have gone
 back they in turn set up a similar
 sign and the Germans storm the
 hams and bacon and other things to eat. This happens every few days | and, while the German high com
 mand welcomes this condition, the Russian does@ not, but for the pres ent is powerless.e And so the "war'' goes merrily on along the East front.

MANY WANT LIEN
 CLERKS BERTH BUT GET FOOLED
Council Abolishes Office In Face of Too Numerous
 Applications

Unable to surmount the difficulty of making an appointment of lien ex- aminer, because of the two numerous istration played it's next best cards last night and voted to abolish the office. Tax Commissioner Arthur F. Connor was the only real incumbent the office ever had, the late James P. Kelly who succeeded him, serving only one day. The lien clerk will be succeeded by a clerk and will have an assistant. The probabilities are that John M, Bowling, at present block map clerk in the commissioners office will be appointed to the new berth. The salary of lien clerk was $3,000 and that of the new clerk has been fixed at $1,S00.
 The extension of John street from Main street to Water street was fa- vorably acted upon and the proposal to make a 50 foot highway of John street from West avenue to Park ave- nue was set down for hearing at the next meeting.
 The widening of Pequonnock street two feet on each side from Congress street to Lexington avenue was ap- proved.
 A favorable report was presented
  on the extension of Roosevelt street to Island Brook avenue and hear ing on such proposed extension will be given at the next meeting. By vote of the council last night, jitney operators are prohibited from stopping in Fairfield avenue to take on passengers within 100 feet of Main street on either side and in Main St. within 100 feet of Fairfield avenue on either side. This action was secur- ed in the. passage of a, resolution pre- sented by Alderman Cole.
 1 The reelection of Jacob Klein, Henry A. Bishop and William T. Haviland as directors of the library, | was reported to the council. An amendment was voted to an or | dinance recently passed creating a l recreation committee, by increasing the membership from five to seven members. The council approved the plan to widen Fairfield avenue by cutting the
 Sagal building on a line with the At lantic hotel.

 from any unappropriated revenues of fthe city for the purpose of making quarters suitable for the soldiers sta toned in the city guarding the muni- l
 pected that the government will re-
 imburse the city for the money thus spent.
 1 After voting to order the Connec-
 ticut Co. to remove it's tracks in Broad istreet between State street and Fair field avenue the council decided that the proper procedure was to have a hearing and this was voted for the | next meeting.

TO OBSERVE RULES.

The police board is to make the ocers who take no heed of the rules officers who take no heed of the rules future. There have been many com plaints of late about officers removing their white gloves while on duty and standing on street corners talking. This, the commissioners say, must be stopped and Supt. Birmingham and Commissioners Baldwin and Beach had long chat this morning. The outcome of the consultation was that hereafter offenders will be brought before the board.
 The commissioners may also pass a rule preventing officers from going into saloons at any time whether on or off duty. The indications are that the new board proposes to have the rules strictly observed.
