brigade on the wet dawn of a cold, gray
day. "When our -heavy guns stop for a
moment we'Jl make the advance. Just fol
low me close when I give the signal and
there will he big pongs sung about our
success."
li able seaman tells the tale. When the
"heavies'' stopped their dull booming,
"Stand by, lads!" yelled the colonel,' "Htand

Then r second later. "Over the parapets!
Over you go nnd shake 'em up!"
SAILORS IX KHAKI
The "sailors In khaki" clambered over
the slippery mud with loud cheers.
The colonel Mas hit by a bullet straight
away, but staggering, floundering and slip
ping, he managed to lead his men on and on.
"When we got to the Herman trenches,
bellcp me, there was 'sonio scrap,'" said
. II. smiling remlnlfcently, "the bayonet
ing came hard and fast, and within twenty
minutes we had that trench c'.ear and the,
prisoners on the way to the rear
"Just as we entered the trench a tier
man machine-gun bullet hit our colonel
for the second time ; but he stuck on a
bandage ,nnd 'carried on" as though he
hadn't been hit twice."
Then came a magnificent charge up a
steep hillside nnd the storming of heights
held by the Oermans. The men of tho
naval brigade were "falling like wheat In
harvest time" under the terrific fire of
the enemy guns, but. lead by their wounded
colonel, they kept on.
"We were greatly oulmimbered." said
the khaki sailor, "hut, running In extended
formation, we came crash among the first
Herman defenders. The) engaged us In
hand-to-hand lighting, tpilte in the old
cheery style, and never was such a mingling
of Herman nnd tlritlsh oaths heard In that
prim little l''rmch village! The language
was nwful, aa It generally Is when one uses
the steel!"
" '.Steady, the Naval Brigade" yelled the
colonel."
"Herman wave after wave came lip In
counter attack, but we were firm, and met
each rush with the point. Soon we could
have built breastworks of the Herman dead,
and Indeed we used many enemy bodies ns
head-cover In the firing which took place
between the bnyonet encounters.
"All the same we were completely out
numbered. And thankful we were when
some Herman pushed up the lid of a ma
chine gun emplacement and waved a white
shirt In token of surrender!
"We captured that lot, and, as we could
.spare no guards, set them off toward our
lines without escort, trusting that our
lavalry would slifht them, and take them to
their pioper place.
"Then we met n fresh Herman. counter
attack with the bayonet. They were about
a thousand strong, and suddenly threw up
their arms nnd shouted 'Kamerad I' Dohlm'
us they had sighted three of our "tanks'
come waddling like big ducks over the crest
of the hill
"And when the strange monsters had

Wilson from several prominent business
men nnd numerous members of the Society
of I'VlendH who discussed tho subject In

It was pointed out In the communication

justice and the rights of humanity.
The letter, which was signed by Asa S.

Charles J. Hhoads, follows:
"In view of the reference In our ad
dress to Congress today to the community
of interest of all neutral powers tho un
dersigned, teprescntatlves of n meeting
culled to consider the grave lnternntlon.il
.Mli.atlon, respectfully and urgently request

any action taken with regard to Oermany
may bo concerted and that all America
may speak with one oice nnd may exert
Inliuenco and use her power in unison.
"Wo also urge that coluclClentnlly, If
possible, the uniform and concerted action
of Kuropean neutral powers may be sought
In the same way. The Interests of all
the neutral powers are at stake In tho pro
posed action of liermany. All are nllke
Involved In the threatened fieedom of the

and not simply upon the Interests of any

"Finally, we rvpress to you our deepest
conviction that the sober second thought
und the moral sense of tho American people
will heartily suppoit any step to ntert war
which you, after conference, with the other

GERMAN CONSUL HERE
MERELY WAITS ORDERS
Stobbe Says He Has Nothing to
Say Regarding Future
Action
Dr. Heorge Stnblie, del man consul In
Philadelphia, Is a very busy man since
diplomatic relations between this country
nnd his were broken.
Pressed today for a statement of ills
Intentions, he replied:
"What can 1 say? Theie Is nothing to
say. 1 enn only tell .ton I am awaiting
onleis."
There Is im sign about the consulate,
howeter, that war Is expected. It Is quite
as calm nnd peaceful there ns It has been
for months past, and whateter excitement
nnd mystery one wants to Und one must
lead Into the situation.
Thus, for example. t.ixlcab drew up
to the consulate address and n veiy Im
portant individual went In and engaged in
n long conference with Doctor Stobbe. lie
looked as If he had a great mission to
discuss, ami It may lute been cry Im
portant and exciting. Hill the chauffeur
didn't know Ills fare or the mlslon and
those who did know him wouldn't t'.l what
the visit was about.
Herman nationals resident In this city uic
i iimlng Into the consulate pietty stendlly to
find out what they should do. hut they un
seat away unite happy with the Instruction
that they need do nothing nnd fear nothing
unless war comes, and they are advised
that war Is Impioliable.
Doctor S'tobbe has many personal callers
and has little time to himself, but the outer
rooms of the consulate are not much illf
feient In atmosphere from what they were
before the lelatlons between the I'nlted
States and (lennnnv were severed.
N. Y. SHIPBUILDING CO.
READY TO SPEED UP
Camden Firm Prepared for Co
operation With Government in
Case of Hostilities
The New York Shipbuilding Company, In
Camden, will co-operate fully with the Vnlt
td States Hov eminent In the matter of
rapid-fire battleship building in the event of
actual warfare with Hernniny, according to
a statement Issued today by II. A. Magoun,
vice president of the company.
Oidlnarlls It takes thlitv-nlni' months to
construct it dieadnought. but Mr Magoun
said that his company could piobably con
struct a battleship of the dreadnought tpc
lu u year's time If provided with sutllclent
labor and innteriaK 1'nder the present
labor and material market the New York
Shipbuilding Company can keep construc
tion woik going on four battleships, and
has the ways for laying the keels of four
or five additional ships.
At present nine ships are under construc
tion at the yards, Including the battleship
Idaho, which Is about two-thlids completed.
The company Is also under Hovernnient
contract to build tho supei dreadnoughts
Washington and Colorado.
"During the last year, said Mr. Magoun,
"we have turned down many contracts be
cause of the scarcity of labor and .material.
This condition would have to bo remedied
In order to Insure the rapid-lire building
of battleships.
"If we have war the 1'nlted States would
do well to turn Its attention to the construc
tion of supply ships nnd transports. In
naval warfare these types of ships aic in
dispensable, and I undei stand there Is n
great shortage of such vessels.
"In case of war Congress would hnve the
power to commandeer our plant. In such
an event tho plant would probably be con
ducted under the ptesent management nnd
Congress would decide tho ratio of profit
to accrue to the company. We are ready
to co-operate with the Hot eminent in nny
way."
Asked If the Xew York Shipbuilding Com
pany could undertake the construction of
submarines, Mr. Magoun sa'i:
"We have never consdeied building sub
marines, but tho New York Shipbuilding
Is equipped to construct any typo of craft
afloat."
