BRITISH ARE PREVE
LEAKAGE O
By Associated Press
London, Aug. B. All eyes were turned toward Belgium, where the unexpected stand made by the Belgian
army against German advance guard has earned praise In aU quarters.
The authorities here have taken the greatest precauUons to prevent the leakage of information as to mili
tary and naval movements, but indications were seen in the commandeering of large liners and the stoppage of
tho cross-channel passenger traffic that u British expeditionary force would probably soon depart. The possible
destination of this expediUon could not be ascertained and the report from Paris announcing that the landing of
British troops had evoked enthusiasm carefully hid the place of their debarkation.
President Poincare also gave out the news, hi his message to King Albert of Belgium, that French troops
were "shedding their blood with the Belgians on the battlefield to-day."
The fighting around Liege, although regarded in military circles as I m port ant, Is considered as merely an
opening hi the campaign, the plan of which has been kept well hidden by both German and French commanders
in-chief.
No hint has yet been given as to the position of the hulk of the twenty- four German army corps or of the
twenty-one French army corps. It is known tlmt several ol' the German corps are near the Russian frontier. The
organization of other corps from the Immense body of reserves must have occurred 6ince the mobilization. These
have probably taken the places In lntterior fortilled cities of the soldiers of the active army who are, it is as
sumed. now preparing to make their first dash at the enemy.
It is pointed out by military men that any decisive offensive movement by the German or French army will
Involve several hundred thousands of men on each side, whose contact wil 1 throw into the shadow the fighting
at Liege.
Reports from many quarters record further captures of merchant vessels sailing under the German flag,
while the presence of contact mines, even in neutral waters, was shown in to-day's wreck of a Norwegian
steamer In Zuider Zee in the Netherlands.
What Is happening in the African colonies of Germany. IYance, Belglu m and Great Britain, Is not known, as
news from those places appeares to have been suppressed, probably owing to the occupation of the cables by gov
ernment communications.
British Are Elated
Over Many Reported
Defeats of Germans
London, Aug. 8. The spirit in
which the British people are taking
the war has found expression in their
acceptance of their first misfortune, the
loss of the cruiser Amphion with 136
men. In a lesser conflict it would have
been mourned as a disaster. To-day
It is regarded as a regrettable but
not unexpected incident. The papers
accord the matter neither the largest
headlines nor extended expressions of
regret.
Last night there was another of the
great gatherings before Buckingham
Palace which have come to be nightly
expressions of the loyalty and en
thusiasm of the people. The ovation
before the Italian embassy organized
by members of West End clubs was
followed by demonstrations through
out the West End by tne younger
sections of the community. These
took the form of rejoicing over the
reported Belgian successes and con
tinued into the early hours to-day.
The greater number participating in
many instances were Belgians and
Frenchmen, who carried the flags of
their countries and cheered mightily.
. The business sections of the town
display few flags and even soldiers
march through the streets without at
tracting special notice .
No Malice Being Shown
The authorities hold that there is
certainly no malice being shown
toward the 30,000 Germans who re
main in England. The war office be
lieves that the Germans have main
tained for several years the largest
and best organized system of espion
age that one nation ever supported
against another. Consequently the po
lice have arrested a large number of
Germans. About fifty were rounded
tip yesterday. The police took posses
sion of the residence at Marefield of
Prince Muenster of Derenburg, who
left for Germany upon the decla
ration of war. They also raided the
German monotype works at Salford
and seized a number of rifles and
some ammunition. Thirty-two Ger
mans at the plant were arrested.
Bow street police station is housing
a small armory of weapons which
have been taken by the police from
the homes of Germans.
Several large German stores and
restaurants display signs announcing
that "the proprietor is a naturalized
British subject.'" A few German shops
In the suburbs have been closed. No
Instance of Germans being mobbed or
assaulted has been reported and there
have been only a few cases in which
they have been Insulted.
All cross channel steamer service
•was suspended to-day.
Wilson May HCQL O
Decide Where /inal
Authority Shall Rest
Washington, D. C.. Aug. S. Conflict
of authority between Treasury and
commerce departments over the en
forcement of neutrality In American
■waters may make it necessary for the
President to decide where the flnal au
thority shall rest.
The chief complication in a situation
already delicate, has arisen from orders
to customs collectors by the Depart
ment of Commerce, which probably
would operate to prevent the departure
of European reservists In organized
numbers.
Officials of departments concerned in
enforcing neutrality were at work to
day on new rules which probably will
modify instructions of the Commerce
Department. Secretary Redfleld was
not in Washington when the flrst neu
trality-Instructions were promulgated,
and it was probable to-day that after
the new rule 3 are drawn they will be
laid before the President himself.
Embarrassment Fell
Administration officials have felt
particular embarrassment In connec
tion with reservists because the French
liner Lorraine was permitted to sail
several days ago with hundreds of
French reservists aboard. With the Is
suance of the Commerce Department's
order, however, some doubt was ex
pressed whether the Vaterland or other
ships with a large number of acknowl
edeged reservists would be allowed to
sail. The administration is said to be
eager to be absolutely fair to all.
"We think clearance must be grant
ed when supposed reservists go as In
dividuals and not as organized military,
unless there are other grounds for
withholding."
This was the message sent to Dud
ley Field Malone, Collector of Customs
at New York, by the Department of
Commerce to-day, in answer to his in
quiry as to whether the steamer Roch
ambeau. preparing to leave New York
for France, with a number of suposed
reservists, should be allowed to de
fiart. The Instructions to Mr. Malone,
nthls case, it was said by officials
here, might constitute a precedent to
be followed In all cases where reserv
ists were preparing to leave to Join
the armies of their home countries.
Olympic and Vaterland
Are Held at New York
New York, Aug. B.—The White
Star liner Olympic to have cleared
from this port to-day with British re
serves. was held up Indefinitely under
receipt of orders from the British
Admiralty. The selling of the Red
Star liner Vaterland on which 1,000
Belgian reservists were booked for a
Brltl6h port, also were delayed.
SATURDAY EVENING,
A.M .HUNTINGTON ID
WIFE HELD AS SPIES
llii GERMAN PRISON
President of American Geograph
ical Society Is Said to Have
Been Maltreated
By Associated Press
Paris, Aug. 8, 12.31 p. m.—Archer
M. Huntington, president of the
American Geographical Society, and
his wife were arrested at Nuremberg,
Bavaria, by German police and are
now held in prison as spies.
Mr. Huntington's chauffeur, who es
caped to Switzerland, telegraphed to
the American Embassy here yester
day, saying Mr. and Mrs. Huntington
had been maltreated. Mr. Hunting
ton, he said, was stripped naked while
the police were searching him and
his wife was subjected to insults and
indignities.
New York, Aug. 8. Mr. Hunting
ton is a son of the late Collis P. Hunt
ington. He is about 45 years old and
a resident of New York.
Mr. Huntington's imprisonment, it
was believed here, might be due to the
fact that he had in his possession at
the time of his arrest maps and other
data obtained in hie geographical re
searches throughout Europe, and that
the nature of his investigations was
not understood by the soldiers who
arrested him.
Bartholdt, Advocate of
Peace, Defends Kaiser
By Associated Press
Atlantic City, Aug. B.—Chased
across the Alantic Ocean by the
spectre of war in the darkened cabinß
of the fleeing Kronprinzessin Cecilie.
Representative Richard Bartholdt, of
Missouri, head of the American
branch of the Interparliamentary
Peace Union, made here to-day a
vehement defense of the Kaiser's
Government and militarism as ex
emplified by Germany. Representa
tive Bartholdt and Dr. A. J. Barch
feld, of Pittsburgh, who is with him
here, were on their way to the con
gress of the interparliamentary peace
delegates in Stockholm when the
Kronprinzessin Cecile turned tail off
Plymouth and raced for an American
haven. He received this afternoon a
cable announcing that the Stockholm
congress had been abandoned be
cause of conditions which made a
meeting impracticable.
Congressman Bartholdt does not
regard International condemnation of
Germany as a menace to the peace of
the world as a great victory for the
peace propaganda. To the contrary,
the St. Loulsian, whom Congress en
dorsed as a candidate for the Nobel
prize, believes Germany is a victim
of world-wide injustice.
"The swift course of events has
justified militarism so far as Ger
many is concerned," he said. "Ger
many for years has felt that the
world was against her, and every
thing that has transpired shows that
Germany was right. Even in this
country, where the cause of peace was
believed to be firmly intrenched, pub
lic sentiment is with the enemies of
the Kaiser and his Government. If
Germany had been less well prepared
she would now be completely at the
mercy of the nations with whom she
Is at war.
British Appreciate
American Sympathy
By Associated Press
London, Aug. B.—The Times to-day
editorially expressed the profound sat
isfaction of the British people at the
evidence which the paper says it
finds that the cause for which they
are fighting has the sympathy of their
American kinsmen.
The Times adds that the American
people "are now beginning to appre
ciate that the rise of Germany to the
power and influence hitherto enjoyed
by Great Britain would be a develop
ment Inimical to American interests
and a menace to the freedom of the
United States as a world power."
Referring to President Wilson's of
fer of mediation, the Times says that
there is much stern work to be done
before any government is likely to
avail itself of his proffered services.
DIES AT PHILADELPHIA
Edward I. Kennedy, aged 31 years,
240 Jefferson street, d-ied at a Phila
delphia hospital last evening. The
body will be brought to his home here
to-night. The funeral services will be
announced later. .
DR. RUTH A. DEETER
HEALTH SECRETARY
Is Chosen Officer of the Newly
Created Woman's De
partment
Dr. Ruth A. Deeter, of Harrisburg,
was elected yesterday as secretary of
the newly created woman's depart
ment of the bureau of public health
of the American Osteopathic Associa
tion, at the meeting of that body in
Philadelphia. Dr. Deeter will have
charge of the work of arranging for
health lectures before women's clubs
and organizations of women in gen
eral. All other matters falling under
the head of public health as related
to the plans of the American Osteo
pathic Association in connection with
the women's department will in a
large measure fall under her direc
tion. This is in line with the educa
tional campaign outlined by the oste
opaths during the past week in Phila
delphia. The members of the pro
fession have determined to do their
full part toward {he prevention of dis
ease by popular instruction, and to
that end extensive work will be un
dertaken immediately.
The only other Pennsylvania woman
honored by the American Association
was Dr. Julia E. Foster, of Butler,
who was elected a member of the
board of trustees.
Vigorous condemnation of the rum
traffic marked the flnal session of the
convention. Resolutions passed by
the association said:
"In view of the undoubted and ter
ribly destructive effects of alcohol and
the very doubtful and slight advan
tage to be obtained from its use, we
hereby unequivocally and uncondi
tionally condemn its use and place
ourselves upon record as pronouncing
it one of the greatest curses of the
age, a s detriment to human well-being
and a disgrace to our civilization."
In offering the resolution. Dr. S. P.
Ross, who is connected with the Phil
adelphia Sunday Breakfast Associa
tion, the Inasmuch Mission and sev
eral other humanitarian organiza
tions, pointed out that liquor fills nine
tenths of the insane asylums and
poorhouses in the country, and sends
to paupers' graves each year an ap
palling number of men *and women
who would otherwise make good citi
zens.
"It is only the organized liquor ring
which keeps the traffic in existence,"
he said. "Respectacle and Influential
citizens and organizations fear to come
out and fight the booze trust because
of its terrible strength. Yet It must
be fought and It will be fought and
beaten. In twenty years the man who
is seen entering a saloon will be more
or less a social outcast.
"I consider the anti-liquor resolu
tion one of the most advanced steps
the Osteopathic Association has ever
taken. We are now definitely lined
up with the forces of modernity and
progress and against the source of
graft and vice."
Electric Gyroscopes
to Maintain Stability
of Flying Machines
Public tests at Bezons, France,
have proved that electrically driven
gyroscopes are effective in stabilizing
aeroplanes. Four gyroscopes with
their axes at right angles were em
ployed for stability. While aloft in a
machine thus equipped, the inventor
of the stabilizing device, Elmer A.
Sperry, Brooklyn, N. Y., and his son
are said to have left their seats, while
the pilot abandoned his position at the
steering wheel and climbed out onto
one of the planes, the aeroplane mean
while flying steadily under automatic
control. It Is possible to tilt the ma
chine sufficiently to make turns safe
ly, but the aviator cannot tilt the ma
chine to a dangerous angle. The gyro
scopes operate delicate valves leading
to two servo-motors which control the
planes and steering gear of the ma
chine. The entire stabilizing equip
ment weighs 100 pounds and Is op
erated by alternating current from a
generator driven by the aeroplane en
gine. When the machine travels too
slowly or rises at too great an angle
the control becomes automotlc and
the machine volplanes to earth.—

FINAL ARRUIIGEMENTS
HIE FOR Fill
OF PRESIDENT'S WIFE
Every Effort Will Be Made to
Maintain the Privacy of
the Family
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Aug. B.—Final
arrangements made to-day for the
funeral of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife
of the President, made it certain that
the services both at the White House
on Monday and in Rome. Ga., Tues
day, will be of the simplest kind.
Every effort will be made to maintain
the privacy of the family and to con
duct the funeral as nearly as possible
as if the President were a private
citizen.
Secretary Tumulty said to-day the
family expected, in addition to the
committees of the Senate and House
and members of the Cabinet, only
relatives and a few of the closest per
sonal friends of Mrs. Wilson and the
President to attend the services.
Only the family and a few intimate
friends will go with the body to Rome
for the burial.
Members of the congressional com
mittees will not go to Georgia because
of the desire of the President that the
work of Congress be continued with
out interruption. Both the Senate
and House, however, will adjourn
from 1 to 4 p. m. Monday while the
funeral services in the east room of
the White House are going on.
There will be no honorary pallbear
ers at the White House services. At
tendants from the White House will
carry the body from the east room to
the hearse and then it will be taken
directly to a special train at the rail
way station.
Expressions of sympathy for the
President's family continued to come
to the White House to-day in increas
ing numbers. Thousands of telegrams
and letters had already arrived and it
seemed as though almost every family
in the United States were offering
consolation to the President for his
loss.
The king of Sweden was one ol
Miose who sent his sympathy to-day.
The heads of most of the nations of
Europe have paused in their battle
plans to forward cablegrams.

The German fleet is now in the Baltic Sea. as is the Russian. What
damage has been done to the Russian fleet is not known, for the Russians
are no more anxious to let out news than are the Germans.
But outside in the North Sea the British fleet is waiting for the Ger
mans. Once they look around the Danish peninsula there will be a great
battle.
However, the theory has been advanced that the Germans do not want
to get outside. It (b their purpose, the belief is, that they will remain with
in the Baltic, demolishing the Russian fleet in order to land troops near St.
Petersburg. Thus it may become necessary for the British to enter and
that would be a very dangerous proceeding. They might find the whole
harbor mined.
