EVENING fiTCTmTCrc-TmTTJADELTHIA', WEDNESDAY, OOTOBEB 28, 131, m U. S. LINER SEIZED BY BRITISH; HELD WAR CONTRABAND Cargo of Copper, Carried by Kroonland, Alleged to Be Consigned to Krupp Factories. WASHINGTON, Oct. 38. Detention ot the fled1 s'ar ,lnor Kroonland at Gibral tar was reported to tho Stato Department hy the American Consul at Gibraltar to ri a)-. The Kroonland, an American-built and American-owned vessel, was carrying a cargo ot 1M0 tons of copper from New Turk tp Naples. No reason was given for her detention by a British warship. Upon receipt of tho Information that the Kroonland had been detained, Acting Secretary of Stato Lansing notified tho Consul at Gibraltar that additional de tails were desired. Following tho re ceipt ot these details a protest probably will Ji? made to Great Britain by Am bassador Tago at London. State Department officials today pointed cut tjiat. while copper has been placed on the conditional contraband list, Great Britain has no right to detain an Amor lean vessel headed for a neutral port, no matter what her cargo Is. Som weeks ago Great Britain seized the copper cargoes of ships bound from the t'nlted StatcB to Holland, on tho contention that they were rcconslgncrt through Holland porta to Germany, where the copper was used In the manu facture of cannon In tho Krupp factory. It Is. believed that tho British Govern ment lias reason to believe that tho Kroonland copper cargo was ultimately destined to Austria or Germany. Tho Stato Department todny wan out dally notified by tho British Kmbassy that the Standard OH steamer Brlndllla had been released at Halifax. The Pla turla Is now the only Standard Oil ship still held. $464,919,076 WILL BE RELEASED BY NEW LAW Vast Sum Available for Business When Reserve Banks Open.

The banks show that con ditions now are far better than In 1310. Deposits at ono national bank, located lit the heart ot the textile Industry of Kensington, are virtually double now what they were In 1507 and 1908. The cashier of this bank, which han dles not only much of the money of workers, but also Numerous large busi ness accounts, belloves that lack of In itiative Is responsible for whatever de pression may exist at present. He said: "The trouble these days Is that the business men lack initiative. "We are willing to loan money. There doesn't ceem to be any demand for loans. I know of no mills being closed. There Is no reason at all why this city shouldn't be the greatest ln tho country. T know of business men now who have contracts to sell goods to South American firms. "We are having fewer withdrawals now than during tho panic of 1907 and 1908. ine deposits are larger, also." BANKS SEE NO DEPRESSION. John G. Sonnebom. cashier of the Ninth National Bank, at Front and Norrls streets, made the following signllcant statement: "There is no serious depression In bust ness. "What depression exists I can say Is not of an alarming nature. I'll say that even If I am a Republican." Deposit flguros for this bank nlso show an Increase over previous years. John S. Bowker, vice president of tho Industrial Trust, Title and Savings Com pany, Front and Norrls streets, la an other of the many Kensington bankers and business men who believe political "calamity howlers" nre responsible for tho present conditions. He declared that "political spellbind ers" constantly talking of depression un doubtedly influence conditions. CALAMITY HOWLS AN EVIL. h. L. Turner, vice president of the Quaker Lace Company, which owns the largest mill in Kensington and controls many others, also belloves that calamity howling politicians are In great part re sponsible for whatever depression exists. The Quaker Lace Company Is owned by Joseph Bromley, "Philadelphia has suffered no more than many New England cities," said Mr. Turner. "Of course, there Is a little dulness, but why should there be any fuss ovor It? A Philadelphia paper printed a story a few days ago that the mills were closed. It wns a brief story, and T believe It was based on a political speech. "Tho result was that a nanrr In .'. Amsterdam. N. v., printed a wild story that the textile Industry In Philadelphia was crippled. That sort of publicity hurts. Conditions today are not as bad as they were In the panic year. Collec tions are not bad. They are a little slow, but that Is to he expected. We haven't dropped any of our forw. We have about 2000 workers on short time. Business will become normal. There Isn't a general depression In business In Kensington and what depression exists is not of an alarming nature. A good editorial In the shape of a warning to Diiretimiancra ivuiiui neip a great deal." Mr. Turner has been in the textile busi ness 10 years He worked his way to his present rosltlon from that of an office boy. A Kensington pawnbroker, whose In terest charges are low and who there fore gets the Indorsement of merchants declares that the workers are not pledg ing as much Jewelry as they did in previous years. LABORING MEN AGAINST PENROSE. Some of the men who now criticise Penrose for talking depression In Ken sington hung up pictures of the Senator In their mills a few weeks ago with tho request that employes vote for him. In vestigation among the workers led to the discovery that the labor men are against Penrose. Borne of the Americanized citi zens who know nothing of political con ditions In the State say they will vote for Penrose because they have been told better labor conditions exist under Re publican government. C. H. Pirson, a member of tho board of directors of 13. F. Houghton & Co., id and Somerset streets, makes the fol lowing statement: "Wo have cut down our staff some what, but the persons dropped were all dead wood. Conditions are bad today. but our men are earning more now than they did In 1910. Just now we are "work ing at about 20 per cent, of normal. I urge that this calamity talk be stopped." Mm. Llvron, a French woman, writing from Solssons to her sister at Nyon, near Geneva, explains how she kissed ln Joy "a great big British guardsman."1 "For nearly two weeks," she writes, "wo had nine German soldiers billeted ln our small house, some coming, some go; Ing, but they wore always nine. Most of them were peasants and dirty. "They took all our beds, and myself and the three children were obliged to tla on blankets on the floor. They seised everything eatable In the house, and ate before us while we were all starving, and would not even glvo the children some bread, thoughLucle, the boldest, begged for It. I was heart-broken "Suddenly one morning about 6 a. m. there was a terrible noise. I thought we were going to be bombarded. But no. The British were coming. "All tho Germans fled like pigeons, after treating tts so badly. I shouted after them, 'Gontlemch, wait a bit, the uruisn wish to speak to you.' "An hour later tho British entered Solssons. Mon Dleul What big fellows, but they are ot the guard which protects the King of England at Londin. I Jump ed on tho shoulders of the flrst Anglais that entered tny house you know I am petite and kissed him. Poor soldier, he wai much embarrassed. "lie did not speak French and I know no English. It Is a pity. But, sister, It Is a pity to send such fine, big men to be shot "Do you know what the British soldiers ld? They cleaned the house entirely, and learning my story, mostly by signs, went sut and brought mo In food. The stayed twn dajB and then went northwards. "I shnll never forget the kindness and forpthoughfof the British. May they roturnl" Humor Is not lacking at the British re cruiting ntatkins. as this anecdote from Aldcrshot testifies: "A dilettante who could not get a com mission ln the army has Just Joined the rank. Ho Is a bit particular about his clothes In the ordinary course of events, and now that he has been served out with his khaki It !s difficult to hold him. He Is full of complaints about the differ ence In tho shade of his Jacket com pared with the color of the trousers, while his puttees aro quite different from cither his trousers or Jacket. When he complained to his sergeant about It, that worthy, an old soldier, said sweotly to him: 'Never mind, dear, the puttees match your beautiful brown eyesT That was enough." How a "sniper" was "snlned" Is graph ically told by a private of a West Riding regiment: "The German had killed several of our fellown before I knocked him over. As they wore going through a gate "plff" and down they went. We knew by the sound that the rifleman could not be far, nnd we kopt looking out for him, for there were no large bodies of Germans about. At last I saw a flash coming from a. tree, nnd I took two alms at him, and then wo saw lilm swaying to and fro, dead as a nail, but tied with a rope to the tree." The conduct of Colonel and Mme. von Wlnterfoldt. the former Germnn military attache at rarls, before the war, Is amus Ingly commented on by a French writer. He first gives an alleged sample of Mme. von Wlntorfeldt's manners. He Bays that one day nfter dinner she lighted a cigarette and put her feet, which were neither small nor fine, on the table and remarked; "Our maneuver at Sedan wns truly ad mirable." An officer who was present replied: "Yes, but you learned It at Jena." When Baron von Schocn, the German Ambassador to France, brought tho dec orations which the Kaiser had bestowed on those who had been nttendlng Colonel von Wlnterfoldt, he remarked to tho snmo officer. "The Emperoi my master, deigns to grant you tho Iron Cross." "1 deign to accept It," retorted the young officer. English papers nre printing a new re cruit song with tho request that readers learn tho refrain and sing It on nil public occasions. This Is the chorus of "Tour King nnd Country Wants You": Oh. we don't want to Io you, Tlut we think you ousht to go, For your King and your Country Both need you ro. We shall want you and mien you, Tlut with all our might and main VTe will thnnk you, cheer you, klet you When you come back again! A London department store has of fered to submit for sale, naturally with out commissions, In Its windows and showrooms any trinkets, embroideries, small articles of furniture, stationery, china, etc., which kind-hearted and pa triotic people wish to be tunned Into hard cash for charitable purposes In connection with the war.

WOMEN PROMOTE SPIRIT OF CHARITY ON BATTLEFIELDS Red Cross Head Declares Moral Influence Is as Po tent as Active Work in War Zone. REVOLT OF BOERS MORE SERIOUS, BUT OF LIMITED SCOPE Individual, Not National, Grievances Inspire South African Rebellion, Says War Expert. PHILADELPHIA PORT LOSING COMMERCE THAT BELONGS HERE Steamship Interests and Rail roads Declared to Be Dis criminating in Favor of New York. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. It was at a session of a fashionable housemaids' sew ing circle. Tho little French maid had been saying harsh things about tho Ger mans In her expresslvo mother tongue. When sho subsided another housemaid ventured to say that she wanted the hos pital supplies she was sewing to bo for warded to England only. Right there the little French maid exploded again. "Humanity knows no nationality," sho said In a flash. "These things shall go to all nations." This anecdote was related today by Miss Mabel Boardman, active head of the American Red Cross, to Illustrate the part women are playing In the war. "Tho Idea that humanity knows no nationality," she said, "Is tho thing that Is making -women strong ln this war. Woman's ministration on tho battlefield and woman's nld at home mean that after this great war Is over there Is going to bo a better International spirit. Wounded soldiers aro going back home to toll that women on the battlefields ot a foreign land were kind to them. "Then, too, women are spreading the spirit of charity. They nre taking the human element to the battlefields, and they are preventing many soldiers from feeling that they must rotallatc for actual or fancied atrocities of tho enemy. That Is what I call tho woman's Influence on the moral questions Involved In war." But woman Is paying a terrible price. Miss Boardman declared. She must stay at homo while loved ones nre fighting In the trenches. She must suffer tho torture of silence or worse, the torture of know ing that her loved ones havo been killed or wounded. But woman's part In tho world, after the war Is over, can be more Influential than ever, Miss Boardman held. She favored js formation of a non-polrtlcnl woman s l "nnrtv" which would deal with affairs not Involving business or politics. "Such a party," she said, 'could lond Its Influence toward permanent peace, and Its Influence would bo ono of tho strongrat Influences to maintain this. The Indi vidual and the mass must be educated to abhor war, to bo willing to submit to arbi tration, and to have a sort of world po liceand women can play their part In fostering this spirit hereafter." GERMANS RAIN HEAVY SHELLS UPON NIEUP0RT Violent Bombardment Forcea Allies' Gunners From Intrenchments. ANTWERP, Oct. 28. Nleuport Is being subjected to a terrible bombardment from heavy howitzers. Shrapnel shells In a never-ending stream ars searching every Btrcet and doing vast damage. Further to the southeast along the line of tho Yscr between Mannekensvere and Remscappelle the firing Is also tremen dous. It became evident that the Ger mans are taking advantage ot tho mist prevailing by pressing home the attack on a grand scale. The firing "was tremendous throughout the afternoon. There seemed no cessa tion to the continuous roar of iruns. About 5 o'clock the situation changed for the worse. The road leading to the town was blocked by a crowd of wounded soldiers who had been forced by the severity of the Gorman flro to leavo their badly con structed Intrenchments. For six days those men gallantly held their position and during this time their losses had been very heavy. Now had come tho moment when human nature could stand no morn of this continuous strain. Two batteries of artillery also retreated and several machine gun sec tions. The retirement became perfectly order ly directly thn outskirts of tho town were reached nnd the units rapidly rallied.

MASON NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The mutiny of General Do Wet and General Beyers In the Union of South Africa Is a more serious affair than tho Initial revolt led by Lieutenant Colonel Marltz. De Wet and Meyers have far higher qualities of leadership than Marltz pos sesses and their prestige Is capable of exerting more pressure on the Boers to Join the uprising. Nevertheless, the chances are very'much against serious consequences following the attempted revolution. At most the British troops In South Africa may have to be kept within their own boundaries during the war, this pos sibly saving the German colonies from capture. This would bo In Itself a de cided victory for Germany, but such an outcomo Is by no means certain. The attitude of Portugal will play an Important part In the development of the situation. Eleven thousand Portu guese troops are believed to have been takon to South Africa on British trans ports since the war began. Germany's Invasion of Angola Indicates Berlin's be lief that the troops are destined for use against the German colonies, to forestall which Germany ha begun an offensive campaign against Portuguese possessions. The Portuguese probably wilt not be used to suppress the South African up rising, untess the situation becomes very serious. They will doubtless be sent Into German East and West Africa to prevent German assistanoe being sent to the Boers and to prepare the way for British operations If tho Boer revolt can be nulckly suppressed. Tlircn considerations work against the success of tho Marltz-De Wet-Beyers mu tiny. The time that has elapsed since the Boer War haa given an opportunity for thn Boers to compare their greater prosperity under present conditions than under the Kruger regime. Secondly, the Boer are not hero worshipers. They are Individualists, which fact made them such remarkable guerrilla fighters during their war against England It years ago. That same trait will now work to cause each Boer, very largely, to make up his own mind for himself In the present crisis. Despite the prestige of De Wet and Beyers, the Boers probably will not be stampeded Into mutiny en masse. The final, and without doubt the most Important, fact that will operate against a serious revolt Is the full self-government Great Britain has granted to the Boera. The British possessions In South Africa where Britons predominate among the white population have been united with the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony, where the Boers so far outnum ber the Britons as to give Uiem a racial majority in the South African Govern ment. In actual fact, therefore, despite the British victory In the South African war, the Boers now rfle the Britons there "under a Parliamentary regime. The Boers possess as much freedom. In Tact, as If they were wholly Independent, and they enjoy greater prosperity and have their freedom guaranteed without charge by the British Imperial forces. These circumstances seem to lead to the conclusion that the present revolt will be largoly confined to those Boers who have personal, and not national, grudges and spite to repay. VARE PREFERS 0T METHOD Domination and discrimination on tho part of steamship conferences working In conjunction with railroads are tho factors Increasing the business of the port of New Tork beyond any previous rec ords, while business hero Is less than normal, merchants and manufacturers de clare. In reply, the steamship Interests say lack of support by merchants and manufacturers Is hurting the business of this port. A certain porccntago of the freight which mokes It possible for New York to break records, despite war conditions, should go In or out of this port, becnuse It represonts shipments to and from mer chants and manufacturers of Philadel phia and Its environs, maritime authori ties say. Inadequate and obsolete steamship serv Ico hero is the reason merchants and manufacturers send shipping through Now York, It Is declared. One man prominently Identified with the business of the port said today that In stead of raising a huo and cry for the South American trade, which cannot he adjusted for some time, the business men should go after the trado at home. Ho pointed out tho Increased exportatlons of grain from Montreal, Now York, Balti more, New Orleans and Galveston and compared It with the meagre shipments from thH city. He said that somo notion should bo taken by tho Commercial Ex change to obtain some of this business. Members of tho Commercial Exchange declare they are pursuing a "watchful waiting" policy and something will be done soon. In the meantime other ports are capturing enormous business. P, F. Young, general manager of the International Mercantile Company, said the Import and export business was hi Isle, but that his lines, the Atlantic Trans port, American and Holland American were able to care for It. He paid thero was no freight congestion and he did not look for any. Mr. Young admitted that a certain per centage of freight of high class and per ishable character was shipped from New York ln preference ti this city because of thn swifter service. N. B. Kelly, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, In commenting on the re cent failure to establish a steamship serv ice between this city and South America, said that the steamship companies pro Jectlng such lines would have to hold regular sailings for several months In order to assure the shippers that they would be sure of a vessel at certain times A sporadic service was not desired. Many of the local exporters have long term con tracts with steamship companies out of New York. Mr. Kelly said, and this would prevent them giving Immediate sup port to a new company. "Philadelphia has always been given the poorest transatlantic service." an other shipper said. "The boats are slow and obsolete in the passenger and first class freight service. Other ports, such as Boston and Baltimore, both of which threaten to wrest the position as second American port from this city, are favored by the steamships and railroads, which en&Dies mem to leap ahead while Phlla delphla crawls along."
