ENGLAND FIGHTING
HER OWN KIN, SAYS
GERMAN-AMERICAiN
Should Have Taken Side?
With the Teutonic Race
Says Otto Krell German
Wars for Own Existence.
"If there nre two countries that shounl
stand shoulder to shoulder against the
Slavs and the yellow laced, they nre
Eng'and nnd Germany, and future hls
torv villi declure It n crime that Ens-land,
which belongs to the Teutonic race, with
out being attacked, fought against hei
cousins on the side of the Slav, the Arab
nnd the yellow man."
So spoke Etlc Krell, vlco president of
the Otto Gas Engine Works, a German
concern which maintains a branch In
Philadelphia nt 33d nnd Walnut streets
today. Mr. Krell is c Gerrnui, and, 'ik,
others of his co inuv.mn In tho t'nlted
States, resents highly what he terms tn
unjust and ho.ttlk attitude towaru Gi i
many.
WAR WAS INEVITABLE.
Speaking further, Mr. Krell said.
"The wholo of Europe, not iuily Cm
many, as the English press woul dhave us
believe, has been suffering for many
jears from militarism, and tho arma
ments on all sides have become so costly
and burdensome to tho people that a
war was not only Inevltno'e, but almost
necessary, In order to clo-ir tnu atmos
phere and to prepare tho way tor a
lasting peaco.
"France has made the Idea of ro
enge its national fetish since IST0, and
its unnntural friendship with Russl.t
has had only one object, namely, to
get even with Germany. France has
spent as much money as Germany to
f,et its army and navy ready and It
bas loaned several thousand million
dollars to Russia to build up the Rus
sian army navy and fortrestos.
"Russia has always dreamed ot an
Ice-free port nnd she Is bound to se
cure this sooner or later, probably later,
when It will be necrsnry for England
to fight the Russian bear. Riiktia li
responsible for most of the upheavals
in the Balkans, and if It hud not been
for her und her Intrigues Servla wouIiT
never have darod to work secretly
n fa Inst AuAtrtn-Hungary, ns she has
done for heerul years.
' England has been suffering for years
lrom hysterics and has believed that
Germany was building its navy for the
ole purpose of Invading England nnd,
in consequence, she ha.s spent untold
million to build up a tremendous navy
a fine example of naval militarism,
RESENTS ENGLAND'S ACTION.
"England's action tn inviting the Japa
nese to attack the handful of Germans
In Tslng-tou Is In harmony with English
history. England has always tried to play
one people against another nnd to let
ether 'pull the chestnuts out of the tire'
for her. ( do not believe that the Japs
have any more love for tho English than
the have for tlu Germans, the French
or the Americans, nnd their motto is 'Asia
for the Anlat.cs.'
"A sufficient answer to England's sanc
timonious Indignation about the violation
of iielglan territory Is u reference to her
theft of Gibraltar, her wanton aggression
und annexation of the lioer Republics,
hei "iiuputtoii and retentlun of Egypt.
tli fubjiiijutioi. nf Persia, etc
UUtory will find that this war was
foied on Oermany, and if the German
profile did not Uduitr tlin, we would not
llud them Ashling like 'cne man' and mak

that be.leves in the right of its cause
Germany, with her 7fi,uuD,ii) people, is
no longer an agricultural country She
l Hbaol ttely dependent on her Indus
tile, and as only about SO per cent, of
her manufactures can be consumed In
Germany, she must export if tho markets

"Bvery Herman feels that he Is fight

that the greatest danger threatens from

Numerous stories of Gcrmnii atrocities

Gates, IG29 Snn.som street, president of
the Philadelphia Chapter of tho Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, arrived in Phil

killed a helpless nnd unarmed old man
ns ho came out of a house In which ho
had been trying to protuct an American
woman nnd her sick child. Regnidlng
this Incident Mrs-. Ontes said: "Though I
was not nn cvewitness to the act, I have
the utmost confidence In the veracity of
my Informants. Tho old gentleman was
a Scotchman and wns In a small town
In Belgium. The Germans heard thnt
some English had taken refuge In the
house nnd fired upon It. Tho American
ran Into the street and shouted to the
soldiers, 'Surely you would not shoot a
helpless woman and children.' At this
moment tho old man appeared In tho
doorway to protest. Ho was shot dead.
The woman whom he had been nldlng
rushed to tho soldiers saying, 'Ho has
been my saviour and Is nn old man. Do
not shoot him.' But her words were
hardly out of her mouth when the man
fell to the ground.
"It Is a matter of common leport
abroad," she continued, "that German
soldiers shot and killed a poor little tot
In Belgium who raised n toy gun towards
thorn as they entered tho village where
ho lived. This net could hardly bo Justi
f ed by saying that tho citizens had taken
up nrms against the Invaders."
Tho reports of tho hands of tho wound
ed Allies being cut olT by tho Germans
are too numerous to relate. These
ntrocltlcs are raid to hao been conllimed
beyond a reasonable doubt."
PULITZER ESTATE
SHOWS INCREASE
OF TWO MILLION
Total Value of Late Pub
lisher's Holding Placed at
$18,637,545 in Report to
Surrogate.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23. The report of
tho renppralsul of tho estate of Joseph
Pulitzer, ordcrod by Surrogate Cohalun,
was submitted yesterday to the Surro
gate's Court by Transfer Tax Appraiser
Joseph I. Berry,
Tho reporj. shows that tho gross
valuation of tho estate has been In
creased from $18,626,116 to $M,355,DS5, and
the net from $lt),SI.I,4M to $1S,C37,R15, a not
Increase of $1,794,061. Tho estimated
nmount of the total tax Is $335,000. Beforo
tho first appraisal $110,000 was paid Into
the State Treasury In order to tako ad
vantage of the 5 per cent, rebate, so thero
will bo a refund of approximately $75,000,
In order to get nt the actual vnlue of
tho Associated Press frnnchlses held by
tho Press Publishing Company (tho Now
York World) and tho Pulitzer Publishing
Companv (the St. Louis Post-Dispatch),
and to estimate the good will of these two
newspapers, owned by Mr. Pulitzer, much
testimony was taken.
Aftei showing thnt there had been no
change In the appraisal of the real
rstnte fixed In the original report at
J3.27S (KK), Mr. Berry placed the valuo of
1330 shares of the Press Publishing Com
panv stock nt $1,267,031, or $C."4.71 a share,
nnd tho vnlue of 9164 Hharos of tho
Pulitzer Publishing Company stock at
$2,077,21.2, or $292.15 a share. In thus np
pinlslng the stock, Mr. Berry states, ho
linn added to the npprnlscd value of tho
corpoiatlon's tangible property n "good
will" value consisting of the vnlue of
the Associated Press memberships,
$IM),00i), nnd all other elements of good
will. In the original report tho franchises
were not valued ns such.
Tho upprnNnl Is arrived at In part by
Inking the average annual earnings for
four years preceding Mr Pulitzer's death
as a basis for capitalization
One hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars Is allowed ns an expenditure for
bonuses to employes. The appraiser alo
considered thd restrictions upon the snlo
of the stock of tho Press Publishing Com
pany inserted by the decedent In his will.
In appraising the value of the Tress
Publishing Companj the average an
nual net earnings are set at $"II,TW.
These deductions nre allowed: Sixty per
cent, of Increase In the cost of white
paper, $210,000 nllownnrc for decedent's
services, $lf0 0ft0; f, per cent, on cnpltal
Invested, $121,M0, nnd 6 per cent, on value
of Associated Pi ess rrnnchipe. $2S,S0O. Tho
total reductions arc thus S4C0150, nnd the
average net earnings as a basis for 10
per cent, capitalization, JS1.1S0.
The good-will, originally appraised at
$1,000,000, Is brought down to $S11,S02. The
appraised value of assets over liabilities
Is $2,022,514, as In the original report. This
Includes two Associated Press bonds nt
$1000 par value, and makes the tutal
valuo $1,307,671 gross and $1,267,031 net.
The appraiser states that the averago
annual net earnings of the Pulitzer Pub
lishing Company for four years were
JI0S.456. The average net earnings, less
deductions, nre $19'11411.
1'nder the new upprnisal the total per
sonal property is valued nt $17.n77.9"
ThJ, with the real estate, valued at
$3,27S,000, makes tho total $20,.135,0Sj gross.

MARCONI TO TEST
CENSORSHIP ORDER
IN FEDERAL COURTS
Company Plans Injunction
Against Navy Department
Seizure of Siasconset Sta
tion, Which Sent Message
to Belligerent.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.SecreUry at
the Navy Daniels today faced an In
junction suit from tho Marconi Wlrelets
Telegraph Company to test tho naval
wireless censorship. Officials believed a
teat suit in tho Federal courtB of author
ity to Invoko wireless censorship was In
evitable. They were also confident that
the result would bo favorable to thg
Government.
Secretary Daniels' ultimatum to th
Marconi Compnny, with n threat of eelj
uro of Its Siasconset, Mass., hlgh-power
transatlantic utatlon, expired today. Fall
lng to receive nn explanation demanded
from President John W. Griggs, former
United States Attorney General, of trans
mission through tho station of an alleged
partisan message ten days ago to the
British cruiser Suffolk for provisions, Mr.
Daniels today planned nn order of sell
uro by navy wireless officers, possibly
reinforced by marines, of the Massachu
setts Plant.
Whether tho Marconi company would
nntlclpato tho seizure order by filing an
Injunction suit and prevent closing of
tho stntton, pending hearing on an ap
plication for a temporary restraining
order, wns the technical legal doubt In
the situation today. It was also un
determined whether the suit would be
brought here, or In tho Now York or
Massachusetts Federal courts."
Beforo taking final action today, the
Secretary conferred with Attorney Gen
eral Gregory and Stato Department offi
cials lcgai'dlng a request by the Marconi
company to suspend action until tho legal
pnpcis can bo filed for tho court teat.
The case of the Government rests upon
tho contention that, during tho war, this
Is a "time of public peril," when the
President as commandor-ln-chlef of the
army nnd navy, may Issue .and enfnrca
such neutrality regulations as ho scci
fit. That of the Marconi company Is that
there Is complete absenco of low giving
the navy censorship authority. It also
denies that the message to the rrulscr
Suffolk violated neutrality
NEW YORK. Sept. 23. The Marco.ll
Company today nnnounccd It Is preparing
papers for a suit In the Federal courts to
determlno by Judicial decision tho contro
versy between the Navy Department und
tho Mnrconl Compnny over tho Slascun
sett station.
In a statement Issued today, tho Mar
coni Company contended that It has In
no way attempted to evade the neutrality
laws. Tho statement, In explaining the
controversy, says:
"The message from the British crulsT
Suffolk, so much criticised by the Navy
Department, was one addresses to n pil
vato person In New York asking tint
fresh beef, potatoes and newspapcis be
sent to the Suffolk on the high seas. This
would be no moie a violation of neutral
ity thnn would the hlpment of gum,
ammunition, powder. Hour and wheat to
any of the countries nt war."
The Marconi Company emphasized the
fact that It Is "an American corporation
and that for the Navy Department to
hamper its commercial business Is to deny
Americans of their constitutional rights"
