GERMAN ALIEN
INTERNED BY
FEDERAL men


Otto Geerken, German alien re-
siding at 1850 Hancock avenue, and
enployed at tho BEreklawn Club, has
been taken into custody by the FEEDER
al authorities here. Geerken, who
was formerly lieutenant in the Ger
man Navy, arrived in the United
States in November, 1916, coming
from Brazil where the naval vessel,
on which he had served, had been in
termed.
Several months ago agents of the
Department of Justice searched the
effects of Geerken and found that he
had been systematically stealing from
his employers. Because of strong
pleas for clemency, and the fact that
he was supporting his wife and child,
now in Denmark, he was not taken
into custody. During the recent Red
Cross Drive, Geerken was very Of
fensive to several of the solicitors,
stating that MY government will not
allow me to help America" as we'll as
ridiculing the drive. He failed to
observe, however, that stealing was
not permissible here, and as a result
he will be interned.

RANGER CASE HAS
BEEN CONTINUED

Judge Webb presiding over the
Criminal Superior Court granted this
morning a continuance until next
term in the Ranger will case. States
Attorney Galen A. Carter asked for a
continuance on the ground that the
fourth conspirator, Charles Meyer of
New York, had been apprehended and
1t was the states desire to try al four
OF the alleged oonspirators for the
forging of the will of Henry Ward
Ranger at one time. The other three
are Charles N. Wexler, a lawyer of
Stamford, who has been diSbarred for
three years for the part he played in
the case; H. G. Cunningham ALSO of
Stamford, and Miss Edith Ranger of
New York.
Ranger was an artist of consider
able eminence and an American acad-
emician and in his will left his entire
fortune of $25O,OOO to the academy of
Design in New York. 1t is claimed
that a will was forged revoking> this
document and giving the life use Of
the estate to Miss Ranger.

WILL LOAN
MONEY TO ASSIST
With war EXPENSE
State Department Guarantees
To Take Care Of Allied
investments.

Washington, July 29.--The state de.
partment announced today an agree
ment it has reached with a group of
American bankers whereby a loan or
loans will be made to China.
The agreement provides that the
group shall have representatives from
different parts of the country as an
assurance on the bankers part that
they will cooperate with the govern
ment and follow the state department IS
policies; that the names Of the banks
be submitted to the department for ap.
proval along with the terms and con
ditions of the loan or loans.
In return the department agrees to
aid in every way possible to make
prompt and vigorous representations
and to take every possible step to in
sure the execution of contracts made by
American citizens in foreign lands.
British, japanese and French bank
ers, it is hoped, will be associated with
the American group, and negotiations
are now pending to grant these bankers
equal parts in the loan.
"China declared war against Ger
many largely because of the action of
the United States,'' said Acting Secre-
tary of State Polk. Therefore this
government has felt a special interest
in the desire of China to equip her
self so as to be of more specific assist
ance against the central powers.
"This government felt because Of
the approach to Chinese territory of
disorder a special effort should be
made to place means at the disposal
of China. There is further in
centiye to cooperate with all these gov
ernments because the war has created
communitive interest between them
and thir citizens and those of other
governments and has broken down bar
riers which once had existed and has
made easier the intercourse between
them.'

For First Time Official War
Office Reports Made Up

lUnited Pross Was Exnert.l }

Omitted Press Was Expert.)
New York, July 29.-General Foeh is
continuing his strategic pressure against
the Aisne- Ourcq salient with the same
firm refusal to be tempted into a gen
eral engagement that has marked his
course since the Germans started to re-
fusal to be tempted into a general en-
gagement that has marked his course
since the Germans started to retreat
from the Marne.
Full justification for this policy of
caution has been provided by the reaew-
ed German retreat during the last forty
eight hours. General Foch is fighting
with brain power as well as with man
power. This combination does not pro-
vide the quick, spectacular results that
Won Hindenburg has accomplished by
the use of man power alone; but it will
win the war with minimum loss of
American lives.
1t Is not necessary for the allies, pur-
pose to throw away lives by the thous-
ands in order to gain the final victory
a little more quickly. The allies money
can hold out to whatever extent is nee
essary to save the lives of allied troops.
This is the principle on which General
Foch is working.
The depressing effect upon German
morale of Won Hindenburg's retreat
from the Marne will be the same, re-
gardless of the method by which it has
been brought about.
This is encouraging evidence that the
German war lords are badly frightened
at the prospect Of having to tell the Ger
man people what has happened north of
the Marnc. For the first time since the
war began the German official commune
ques are deliberately lying and camou
flaging. The Germans at home have moi
yet been informed that Won Hinden
burg has had to give up his entire hold
on the Marnc and is headed back to.
ward the Yesle and the Aisne. In all
previous defeats, the war office at Ber.
fin has been studiously frank, for the
purpose Of impressing on the allies the
belief that German morale was suffi
GENTLY unbending to withstand bad
news. This condition no longer exists.
The kaiser dare not confess his present
defeat outright. He is breaking the
news slowly and timorously. Well he
might, for his dynasty is in grave dan
ger Of being found out.
After Verdun, the Marne. The Ho
henzollern heir may soon become known
