GENERAL PRICE MAY BE
READ OF NEW BRIGADE
OF STATE ARTILLERY
Camp Stewart Gossip Active as
to Choice of Brigadier for
K Command Just
Formed
f MOSELY A POSSIBILITY
' CAMp'sTEWAIlT, Eli PASO, Tex., Aug.
jj, speculation Is nctlve here today aa to
whether a western Pennsylvania brigadier
er n eastern Pennsylvania brigadier, or
neither of these, but an elevated regular
army man, Is to command the new artillery
brigade.
Prevailing opinion here Is that General
William G. Price, of Philadelphia, now In
command of the First Brlgado of InfnntryJ
nd the man who has battled for five years
for an artillery brlgado with a Philadelphia
regiment will bo honored,
Staff and lino officers of tho First Penn
sylvania Field Artillery, Pittsburgh, Colonel
W. S. McKeo commanding, unanimously
declared today that they would support
General Prlco In any effort that might bo
mado to glvo him command over them.
First reports from Harrlsburg, however.
Indicated that General Frederick W. Still
welt, of thd now obsolcto Fourth Drlgade,
had 'been tho capital's choice to head tho
new organization.
And Indications at division headquarters
hero today omphnslze the possibility that
neither of tho brigadiers but Colonel Gcorgo
Vanllorn Mosely, chief of Btaff to Mnjor
General Charles M. Clement, may bo the
commander.
Announcements of tho facts that tho
brigade wilt bo mobilized hero and that Col
onel Mosely had gono to Eagle Pass to
take examinations preliminary to a trans
fer to the artlllory were mado simulta
neously. Mosely Is a regular army man.
The new brlgado will consist of tho pres
ent artlllory regiment, tho First, of Pitts
burgh; tho converted Second Infantry, of
Philadelphia, and tho converted Ninth In
fantry, from WIlkes-Barro.
Philadelphia troops hero aro Jubilant to
day as a result of the change In plans that
gives the Quaker City a representation In
the artillery, nnd Pittsburgh militiamen of
the Second Brigade are exulting with
them.
INVENTORY MADE TODAY.
Inspection nnd Inventory of nil equipment
In, the Second Itcglment, of Philadelphia,
Colonel Hnmllton D. Turner, Is being rushed
today preliminary to return of all lnfnntry
qulpment, for which artillery equipment
will bo substituted as rapidly as the
converted Infantrymen complcto return of
discarded property. Preparations aro nlso
being mado hero to movo tho now artil
lery regiment from tho position It now holds
In' tho First Brlgado slto to tho artillery
lite, n mile to the north. Water mains
have been latd.
Major Elliott, regular army rjuartcrmas-.
tcr of tho Southern Department, received'
itveral thousand automatio pistols today.
The first thousand of theso will bo Issued
to the Second Regiment as rifles aro reg
ulated. There are nlso several thousand pairs of
leather puttees to replace canvas leggings,
an equal number of breeches for mounted
troops, artillery hnt 'cords, nrms of tho serv

LONDON JUBILATES AT VIGOR
THAT FORWARDS ALLIES' "PUSH"
Germans Waver Under Stress of Formidable Efforts Made
by French and British Disorganization Affects
Kaiser's Mighty Phalanxes
By ELLEN ADAIR
LONDON. Julv SI Hn. nt Ihn mn
critical phases of tho war has now been
entered on. Spectacular results nro not to
be looked for. But
tho great push of
tho Allies con
tinues. Village
after village Is
being captured by
the British and
the French. And
London rejoices.
Tho tremendous
strain flung on the
German troops
along the western
frontier a strain
to keep the ever
onpouring Allies
back has brought
about ono mighty
result Tho Aus
trian In tho A9f

to bo left to their fate,
dally adding to his brilliant successes.
On tho 4th of Juno 700,000 men formed
the Austrian troops on tho Russian frontier.
It Is no exaggeration to state that of theso
only one-fourth wcro left by July 6. Moro
than 260,000 prisoners wore taken by tho
Russians.
Tho Gorman plan of campaign had been
to tackle tho Allies In tho west, and onco
having thoroughly crushed thorn, to turn
to tho Russians In tho east.
TEUTONIC CAMPAIGN TLAN.
But such a plan of campaign depends
entirely on a "free hand." And whero dis
position of forces Is concorned tho Germnns
havo nqt had n free hand.
For they havo not morely met with lm
menso casualties, but with something equal
ly disastrous from tho military point of
view and that Is disorganization.
In a battle whero one-fourth of tho enemy
forco Is Incapacitated by casualty it Is
futile to Ignore the fact that at least one
fourth moro will probably bo Incapacitated
by disorganization.
If tho disorganization, then, Is propor
tionate to tho casualties, victory over tho
enemy Is Infinitely moro rapid.
"Not only havo wo caused tho Germans
Immense losses," a wounded officer Just
arrived In London told me, "but at tho
samo time wo havo caused great disorgani
zation In their troops. As their numbers
dwindle down they nro forced to fall back
moro and moro on their artillery. This
makes their organization mora and moro
delicate."
Said another officer: 'The allied offensive
Is not merely a smashing of the enemy
machinery. Nor Is It the killing nnd cap
turing of Its men. It nlso means the re
ducing of tho rest of tha enemy troops to
mere mobs."
GERMANS' BIO, ERROR.
Judging from tho comments I hear on
every side both from French nnd from
British soldiers tho great strategical error
which tho Germans recently committed was
the massing of tho best of their troops
against tho British advance at Thlepval on
July 10, while at the same time placing an
Infinitely Inferior forco to withstand tho
French onslaught at Santerro.
"It was sheer madness," said a young
British officer who had been wounded In
tho former struggle, "yet the Germans de
liberately choso to run tho risk of being out
flanked by the French as, of course, they
eventunlly wero In order to Inflict possible
defeat and mortification on us Britishers."
On the great question of complcto vic
tory no ono can yet prophciy. But I will
quote tho words of nn American serving
as a lieutenant In tho French army, who
lay wounded In a French hospital on tho
Mnrne:
"In splto of tho sufferings and great
losses of our men, wo aro full of hopo and
courage. Wo know wo must triumph, and
victory will bo ours. Franco will not dlo.
It Is necessary to tho world of thought,
your world and mlno. This war is the
enemy of thought; It Is tho enslavement
of nit tho truly spiritual powers to a. work
of tyranny and destruction.
'Tho Germans know what thoy are do
ing. They havo been trained to think, to
fcol as their masters. Thoy havo ono faith
tho absolute goodness of tho Gorman na
tion, the sacs Jncss of Its mission to a cor
rupted world. Thoy will give other nations
indopendonco If it harmonizes with the in
terests of tho Empire nnd If not, that In
dependence will bo sacrificed on tho nltar
of tho German god.
"I am not speaking without knowlodge.
I havo seen them In battlo and prayer. I
hao seen them from Prussia and Bavaria,
nnd they brcntho tho spirit of pride and
arrogance, of domination at nil costs and
by all means.
"No meroy, no chivalry, na honor; nil
sacrtflcod that tho Kaiser may rule over
tho land of our forefathers and bring to
It tho blessings of superior morality and

BERRY DEFENDS CUSTOM HOUSE
Says Penrose Attack on Alleged Spoils
System Is Uniust
The criticism of the present administra
tion by Senator Penrose on the floor of the
Benato yesterday, In which ha declared that
two Federal officials of this city had been
given places despite their Incompetency, was
characterized as "tommy-rot" today by
William H. Berry, collector of the Port of
Philadelphia.
Mr. Berry Is one of tho men whom Senator
Penrose criticized. He declared that tha
tormer collector of the port was "forced"
0Bt jo make room for Mr. Berry, who, ac
cording; to the senior Senator, "spends bare
ly an hour a day at tho Custom House," and
whose chief qualifications for tha place wero
Jis ability to go around the country talking
T silver and Inflated currency,"
"Those who know tha facts about the
management of tha Philadelphia Custom
Mouse and tha events leading up to my
appointment will pay1 no attention to the
vaporlngs of Senator Penrose," declared Mr.
erry, "As to my speechmaking abilities,
l only wish J had the opportunity to meet
rotten that event."
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Discrimina
tion of foreign Governments against Amer
ican shipping would bo met by drastic re
taliatory action under Jin amendment pro
posed to the shipping bill today by Senator
Fletcher, of Florida.
This Is the flrBt step of tho Administra
tion to forestall the possibility of Euro
pean Governments boycotting American
shipping after tho war.
The amendment would empower the ship
ping board to Investigate the nctlon of
any forolgn Government with respect to
privileges afforded and burdens imposed
upon vessels of tho United States engaged
In foreign trado whenever It shall appear
that the laws, regulations or practices of
any foreign Government operate In such
a manner that vessels of tho United States
aro not accorded equal privileges In foreign
trade with vessels of such foreign countries
or vessels of other foreign countries.
"Tho shipping board would be required to
report tho rssults of Its Investigation to tho
President and the President would be au
thorized and empowered t.i secure by diplo
matic action equal privileges for vessels of
tho United Stites engaged in such foreign
trade,"
In caBe of failure to obtain redress by
diplomatic action, the amendment provides
that the President thon "shall advise Con
gress ns to the facts and his conclusions by
Bpeclal message if deemed important in the
public interest In order that proper action
may bo taken thereon."

LINKING TWO CONTINENTS
SOUTH AMERICA Is nearer to us than is any of tho other great geograph
ical divisions, but of important events and movements in that continent
comparatively littlo news reaches tho United States. In view of thejlmport
nnco, politically and economically, of tho rich regions under tho Southern
Cross, this dearth of information has seemed both astonishing and lamentable,
That such a condition could continuo was due primarily to tho barriers of
distance and unsatisfactory, round-about, incomplete cablo and postal con
nections. Recent improvements and reforms in theso means of communication have
been effected, nnd the EVENlNd Ledger is ablo now to assure its readers of
a vastly improved news servico from South America. Through an arrange
ment made between tho United Press, of which the Evenino Ledger is a
member, and La Noclon, Argentina's leading newspaper, tho Evening Ledger
will havo access to tho first comprehensive news servico between the two con
tinents. Tho establishment of such a servico marks nn epoch in the progress
of American journnlism, nnd its importance must becomo moro clearly appar
ent and fully appreciated by tho public when the world-wide developments,
Buro to follow tho close of the great war, aro outlined.

Congressman John J Kltzgcrnld, chairman
of Urn Democratic conference, In session
hero today, sounded tho tocsin and sum
moned to nrms the members of the Dem
ocrats party of tha Emplro Stnte. IIo
criticized tho expenses of government under
Governor Whitman, extolled the shrewd
financing of Governor Glynn and struck at
Charles U Hughes for his fault-finding
with President Wilson for his Mexican
policies.
Touching upon preparedness, Chairman
Fitzgerald said:
Tho Democratic party demands that
Its position regarding tho safety nnd
security of tho nations as welt as upon
all publla questions bo measured neith
er by Its own words nor by tho mis
leading assertions of Its opponents, but
by Its nets and Its deeds, which havo
mado tho country safo.
In dealing with tho Mexican situation.
Chairman FIt7gorald declared that had Mr.
Hughes been president ho would havo ac
complished no moro than had President
Wilson.
Although Juitlco Samuel Scabury seems

sages From Sea t
NEW XOHK; Aug. ll, .The ublqurte"
Bremen, Deutschland's sister ship, bofefctf
up again today this time bjr way of -wireless.
Tho operators at the Sea .Gate and SaMy m
Hook wlrolcss stations -wero startled from
a doze early today by a call for "telefunken '
station, New York" the calt Used by all
German ships before the war.
Ho replied, "Telefunken station closed,"
and asked Uie sender's name. There was
no reply. About 3 o'clock this roornlnr,
an hour and n hatf later, another call, ap.
parently from tho sama source. Inquired
when tho telefunken station would open.
This time tha messago was signed "D. B.
V." which Is tho old signature of tho North
German-Iiloyd ship Urcslau, supposed to !
be tied up nt New Orleans.
"Tho spark camo from a Gorman ap
narntus." said the Sea Gate operator. It
was unmistakable and came from about '4
60 miles nt sea, rrom a low-power lnstru-
tYiant. i
This gave rise to the belief that the cail s i
came from tho uremen, nut at tho samo
time Baltimore and New London, Conn.,
aro confident tho submarlno may appear
there at any moment.
