OFFUGITIVESFROM
WAR'S LURID ZONE
Crowds of Sad-faced Bel
gians Throng Folkestone,
Presenting Strange Con
trast to Its Usual Holiday
Makers.
LONDON. Sept. 23.
By every boat refugees from Belgium
pour into London. They have lost home,
money, clothing, everything, and but for
the ready and kindly help of the War
Refugees' Committee would bo both
friendless and destitute. All that can be
don for them Is being done, and many
houses In the West End and In the
uburbs of the city nra being placed at
their disposal.
It la estimated that since the beginning
of tho war about 18.000 refugees have ar
rived at Folkstonc. The hotels and
boarding houses there are crowded with
thorn, and they flit tho streets In every
direction. But It Is not the usual holiday
crowd which Folkstone knows so well.
Thoao sad-faced people who walk soberly
about or gather In little groups to discuss
topics which arc of absorbing Interest to
them, are not happy, rollicking holiday
makers nor la their languaso that which
Is usually heard at the picturesque re
Bort. Folkstono Is now a city of refu
gees. They have come from all parts of
Franco and Belgium, particularly Bel
gium, and in Increasing numbers as the
days have passd. A fortnight ago I5W'(
people would nnve Been considers 7
large number to arrive In one day. TTV's
week 5000 is no uncommon number, jm1
tho vast majority of these hav ben
refugees.
They have been of all classes, tho very
poor, who are cared for hy the relief
committee, being a comparatively small
proportion. Though every boat from Os
tend and Dieppe now brings a number of
little groups of families, who have evi
dently gathered together all their most
cherished possessions In small bundles,
and with little or In some cases no money
In their pockets, they have come to Eng
land confident that they will not be
allowed to starve.
WELCOME IN STIIANGE LAND.
The arrival In Folkestone of each batch
of these refugees Is a most Interesting
study and a most Impressive one. Their
Joy upon stepping for the first time in
most Instances, upon the soil of Eng
land Is always evident. They smile at
the officials, who always treat them with
consideration and respect, some of thm
cheer and seem, for the moment at least.
Immensely happy and relieved.
Folkestone has seen many happy re
unions and many pathetic disappoint
ments in the last few days. One old man,
who had been separated from his wife in
Belgium, was on the quay the other day
when the Ostend boat came In. "There
she Is! There she la!" he cried, dancing
about la his excitement, as he explained
to all who were standing bv how they
had become (separated, and how he had
doubted if they would ever meet again.
On the other hand there are ,cores of
people who stand each day for hours out
side the station gates scanning each
face as people pass out, and who come
away sadly each night when they are
told that tho last passenger has left the
quay.
Last night hundreds of refugees ar
rived at Charing Cross station, most of
them coming from Antwerp. Waiting
for them on the platform were all sorts
of willing, kindly helpers. There were
Red Cross nurses. Boy Scouts. Catholic
priests and a host of lady interpreters,
who had volunteered for the work. A
fleet of motorcars, organized by the War
Refugees' Committee, was waiting to
take the travelers to their destinations.
EXILES FROM CONVENT.
Not the least pathetic were a party of
nearly GO nuns of the order of the Little
GisteiB of the Poor, who had been driven
out of their convents In Brussels and
other parts of Belgium. English sisters
of their order were waiting for them.
Only one thing was lacking in the ad
mirable arrangements made for tho re
ceptlon of tho refuses hardly any of
tho interpreters spoke Flemish. Sevral
of the poorer people knew no other
language, and there were few who could
understand them. Flemish-speaking resi
dents of London who wish to do what
they can for these poor wanderers have
been requested to communirate. with the
War Refugees' Committee at the General
Buildings, Aldwyeh.

P S EXTREME GERMAN Ag - J if
V GERMAN f fc L
The 10th day of the battle on the Aisne and nearby river valleys, from Noyon to the Lorraine frontier, finds the great armies still lined up in front
of each other almost in a deadlock from one of the greatest artillery duels the world has ever known. While the Germans claim to have retaken the
Heights of Craonne, and to have gained a small town near Rhelms, and" to have attacked the heights along the Meuse, at Vigneulllcs, which is near Troyon,
the French claim that these movements of the enemy were without special result, and that the advantage still lies with the allies, especially in their flanking
movement near Noyon, Lassigny, and on the left bank of the River Oise, where they are threatening the forces of the German right, under von Kluk.
Official reports give no details of this flanking movement, but unofficial place the French van near Pcronnc and St. Quentin on the Somme, and a large French
force at Lassigny. The German right has also moved its headquarters north over the Belgian line. .

The Berliner Tageblatt has In Its col

order that she may play the role of me

The Tage'rlatt also states that four
of the Kaiser s sent are lying in boa
fciUls seriously wounded.
Even if Germany Is Defeat
ed, Fears Are Expressed
That Russian Acts May
Make Conscription Neces
sary. LONDON. Sept. 23.
In view of tho war raging In Europe
and the necessity of sending big drafts
of men to the front, Liberals arc begin
ning to discuss the possibilities of con
scription. If conscription conies, and the
probabilities are that It will, there will be
no time for protest, as It would tequlre
merely an order In Council and not an
act of Parliament. Conscrlptlonlst news
papers, and they form the bulk of the
press at present, are hard at work and
have won the first point. They will now
press their advantage, for they know
that such nn opportunity may never
come again.
Once conscription is upon England It
will hold good, fr It uill not pass at
the end of the war, even In thi event of
Germany being defeated. Russia will
afford ample excuse for riveting the
thrall ring of militarism more firmly
upon the throat of the English people. A
fortnight ago one had the hope that this
war would see the end of Prusslaulsm In
Germany; now a diminishing hopo is
coupled with a lively fear that it may
see the birth of It here. It is true, no
renponslblo politician has suggested con
scription, but two months ago no re
sponsible politician suggested war. Lib
erals are asking is no answer to be made
to all this agltotlou or are they to sit
idly by, helplessly trusting in the
stablllt of politicians under stress, with
out so much as attempting to strengthen
their hands?
Mr. Wells' suggestion that It ought to
be made possible for every male In the
country between 13 and 60 to enrol!
himself for public service Is one that
looked like being carried out, with no
choice for shirkers, a century ago, when
England was at war with Franco and
Amerlrii, and a large number of the
KnglUh troops wer tied up In Ir.-land
At tfie beginning of lH statistics uer
pnpjred giving the number of males
whom it would be possible to turn intu
soldier. The result showed that then,
were Just 2.744. W between IS and fiO
capable of bearing arms. At that time
the population of the United Kingdom
was under IS.f'O.OiO. A month or two
later the allied armies entered Paris,
and what might have been a scheme of
universal service was forgotten in the
rejoicings of a temporary iace.
ENLISTMENT GOING ON.
There was one portion of Mr. Asquith's
speech at the Guildhall banquet which
attracted much notice and will put nn
end to the frantic apiieals of those fussy
people who, in tludr mistaken Fense of
patriotism, have been doing so much
mischief. It wa that In which the
Premier stated that Lord Kitchener's
second army had already obtained be
twfn S'fl.W and 3rt.V) men. It Is to
be noted, therefore, that while over,
salons younf females have been rush
ing about with white feathers, employ
era have been seeking to force enlist
ment on their men by threats of dis
missal, and excitable people nave hf-n
denouncing cricket and football, th-re ,
are already more recruits accepted than
have ben asked for,
As a matter of fact, more men have en
listed than accommodations can be pro
vided for, for It U a notorious fact that
there are no barracks available, and that
in order to shelter them a vast number
of buildings will have to be utilized. I'ni
fnrms will also have to be provided, hores
for the cavalry, rifles for the Infantry and
Instructors for all.
Since the war the value of the British
soldier has gone up immensely In the pub
lic estimation. Pix, weeks ago Tommy
Atkins would have been contemptuously
refused a drink in every hotel bar in Lon
don. Today he Is an honored guest, while
the young man who, for some reason, re- '
fuses to enlist, is treated with derision.
It is interesting alio to notice how the
national emergency and the magnificent
way In wheh it has been met hy the Gov
ernment Is being appreciated In the music
halls, quarters not usually sympathetic to
Liberal statesmen Portraits are being
nightly shown on screens, and the gather
ings cheer as the photographs of Mr. As
qulth. Lloyd-George and Mr. Churchill ap
pear. They cheer thete nearly as warmly i
as they do that of Lord Kitchener But
that Is not all A portrait of Mr. Red- '
mond is generally included In the set, and
It is pleasant to note that the patriotism
and generosity of the Irish leader Is heart
ily appreciated
"W'hateve- be the duration of the war
there la no doubt that It la popular in i
England, and that the British people wlU '
back the Premier In his determination
that tho sword Is not to be sheathed
til til Germany is crushed. The feeling
ngnlnst Germany Is very bitter, but that
towards Austria Is rather contemptuous
than otherwise. It Is generally felt that
the fltial monarchy will unit hostilities
aa soon as possible nnd it is even now
currently rumored that the Austrian
Government hnvo warned the Germans
that unless they received suillclent sup
port to enable them to resist the Rus
sian advance, they would open negotia
tions for peace with the Allies.
It cannot be said whether there Is any
truth In the suggestion, but It Is at least
not Improbable. The war has already
shaken the Austro-Hungarlan Empire
to its foundations, and a few more re
verses may lead to Its overthrow. It Is,
Indeed, quite on the cards that Hungary
and Bohemia may proclaim their Inde
pendence of tho Hapsburg monarchy.
Whether, even if Austria sued for a
separate peace, the Allies would grant
It It Is difficult to say. It must never
be forgotten that In any arrangements
regarding the future of tho dual mon
archy Servln will claim n reward for
her share of the fighting, and that Italy
will Insist upon compensation for her
judicious neutrality.
REAL MAXIXE COSTUMES
Specimens at TJ. of P. Museum Are
Aprons With Shells of Fruits.
The real costume worn by an Indian
woman in dancing the real maxlxe Is now
In the mesuem of the University of Penn
sylvania, brought there by Doctor Fara
bee from southern British Guiana, along
with many other ethnological specimens'.
The costume Is a little apron of various
makes, with little shells of native fruits
hanging from every part of It nnd from
the bracelets and anklet?.
The shells are filled with seeds which
rattle grueomely when the dance is go
ing on. These are worn by both sexes,
and the dance is one used In courting.
Literally maxlxe means peanut-vine
dance, nnd Is so called because It It sup
posed to imitate the waving of the peanut
tendrils as they beek to imhed them
selves In the earth. It Is reported that
this dance Is very graceful, but Is not en
tirely like that which is used In civiliza
tion. It was first taken from tho Indians
by the Portuguese, and became vulgar;
but was afterward "refined in Europe."
The other things brought to the museum
Include drest.es made almost entirely from
the feathers of the macaw and other col
oied birds nnd these are woven In the
native cotton cloth, which is a great
tndtistrv The clothes are solely for orna

successful exploit of the German sub
marine squadron which sank three
British cruisers, the official War Office
bulletin. Issued today, makes no men
tion of any German casualties. This Is
believed to Indicate that the submarines
successfully returned to their base un

sides it is pointed out as an excellent
revenge for the British operations
against the patrol cruiser squadron at

By W. ORTON TEWSON
LONDON'. Sept. 23.
The sinking of three British cruisers
In the North Sea after they were tor
pedoed by Gorman submarines cast gloom
over London, the more so as every one
had "Winston Churchill's optimistic and
fighting speech fresh in mind.
It Is fully recognized what a tre
mendous strain Is Imposed on the British
fleet In its tireless vigil and the natural
Impatience of the men for a fight, but
that the Germans are not altogether In
active Is proved by yesterday's prompt
reply to Mr. Churchill's utterance.
In view of the disaster the following
narrative of a Munich man who took
part In a German submarine trip to the
coast of Scotland Is doubly Interesting.
It Is taken from the Munich Xeucsta
Xachchcnten, of lost Wednesday, and
reads:
"At a distance of 1500 metres from the
enemy we were playing the accordion
and the enemy never heard us. More
than onco when our motors were going
full blast we could not hear what the
accordion was playing, but we guessed
tho tune from the movements of the
player, and the looks of his fingers as
they glided over the keys.
"We shouted the song In chorus
shouted with all the force our lungs
Etlll possessed and yet we heard noth
ing, so noisy are the engines In a sub
marine. We were 10 days on our way
end did not know wiiere we were golnr;
to death or to victory. "More than
that I don't know myself at prefent,'
said our commander.
"We went out to see with other sub
marines. Then we separated. The U-15
we never saw again. She fell before the
enemy."
It was U-15 that was sunk by H. M.
S. Birmingham.
"All the way along the English Coast
we went, at times under water. Six
hours' work nnd six hours' sleep for
tho whole 10 days. Bo the days passed
by, a little while under, a little while
on top that was the only variation.
Then, for once, there came a sensation.
One after another had to leave his place
for a minute and take a peep through
the periscope.
"It was the prettiest picture I ever
saw. L'p there like a lot of peaceful
lambs lay the English squadron, with

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.
That tho Germans have reoccupled
three towns opposite tho French right
wing In Lorraine was made clear when
the full text of the official statement
from tho French War Ofllce was read at
tho French Embassy here today. The
official statement as given out In Paris
set forth that Dornevre, south of Bra
mont, had been reoccupled by the enemy.
The Embassy received a statement,
however, which contains this phrase:
"On our right wing in Lorraine the
enemy has again passed tbe frontier with
several small columns. He has reoccu
pled Dornevre, south of Bramont, and
Nnmeny nnd Dllme, north of Nancy."
Further additional information in the
Purls statement was that Germans In
the Woevre district have directed their
movements toward Saint Boussant and
Limey.
"In Pervla," the dispatch stated," a
general battle has been In progress for
a week In the region of KrupanJ."
COMEDY AND TRAGEDY FROM

Queen Mftry, accompanied by the Bel
gian Minister to Great Britain nnd Sev
ern! of her ladles, went to see the Bel
gian refugees In Alexandra Palace this
afternoon. The Queen was very much
Interested In these unfortunate persons
nii.l gave expression of her sympathy. As
she entered the dining hall, where a new
batih of refugees had Just arrived, she
was greeted by a wild outburst of cheer
ing. Germany has called her children to
arms, and In all parts of the country
thousands of boy under, tho nge of 18
years are being drilled before they are
sent against the Allies.
This Information was contnlned In a
letter received yesterday by on attache
of the German consulate In New York
from his mother In Saxony, who wrote
telling him how the children had flocked
enthusiastically to the arsenals when the
call for their services went out. They
left the fields and the playgrounds, she
said, to bear arms against the enemy.
But whllo the country Is enthusiastic,

Yet
We have a new tariff, lower than any in recent years.
imports have fallen off ten million dollars in a month.
We have a new banking law, designed to put us beyond the
reach of panic. Yet every stock exchange in the country
with two or three exceptions is closed.
We have been blessed with the greatest crops in the history
of the United States. Yet the price of wheat is higher than
at any time in the last 16 years.
In view of these things, are we overstating the case when we
say that in the last two months the world has been turned

Will you pardon us If we ask you If you hare adjusted

Are you going after markets not only abroad, but right

Now, of all times, is the time to have every detail of your
business at your fingers' ends
to inaugurate a new system of sales-records that will be of
as much service to you as a map is to a commander-in-chief,
to place your system of filing on a basis that makes your
business data instantly available,
to substitute card ledgers for book ledgers, thus simplifying
and bettering your bookkeeping department,
to put in operation a better method of keeping track of stock,
so that you will know just where you stand at ALL Umes.
Gladly will we co-operate with you. For nearly 40 years wo
have been brought in contact with the keenest business minds
in the country. And we should like nothing better than to
apply our knowledge of card and filing systems to the better

Take, as an example, our new method of filing the "Auto

wonderfully quick and amazingly correct. Details on request.
