False Dispatches Reach
Tokio; Create Impression
That U. S. Is Intervening
By Associated Press
Tokio, Aug. 13, 9.45 A. M.—Passen
gers arriving to-day on the British
steamer Nile from Honolulu, nine
hours ahead of the schedule, told of
being chased by unknown ships. Soon
after leaving Honolulu on August 1
the passengers were suddenly ordered
below deck. Thnt night the ship was
plunged into darkness and sped for
ward under forced draught. The ship
finally outdistanced two pursuers, ap
parently war craft.
The American embassy has pub
lished a denial of reports that Am
bassador Guthrie had inquired what
was the Japanese program In connec
tion with the European war or pre
sented any communication from
Washington on the subject.
A mass of false dispatches are pour
ing into Tokio from many points In
the Orient, designed, seemingly, to
create the impression that the United
States Is intervening in the war sit*

German capital. On Unter den Linden they say they heard cries of "Down with the Emperor!" and "Down with the
Crown Prince!"

GOVERNOR TEHER AT
niCTIONCIP
[Continued Prom First I'age]
as one of the regiments was already
on the field awaiting his inspection
and he proceeded to the work with
out delay. Most of the members of
the staff of the Governor, as com
mander-in-chief of the National
Guard, arrived here on Tuesday even
ing and were at the station this morn
ing to receive their leader.
The Governor is spending the day
in the lines of the First Brigade of
Philadelphia, where the militiamen
are undergoing their annual inspec
tion. To-morrow he will be in the
Fourth Brigade, when that organiza
tion will be inspected.
Crashing reports from the field guns

Reception to Penrose
Harrisburg National Guardsmen
yesterday afternoon contributed very
materially to an enthusiastic and en
tirely spontaneous reception tendered
to United States Senator Penrose, and
the distinguished visitor to the camp
here showed his appreciation by shak
ing hands with most of the members
of Company D, commanded by Cap
tain J. J. Hartman.
Senator Penrose's visit to the camp
of instruction here was originally
planned to be a very quiet affair and
as a personal call upon Brigadier
General William G. Price, commander
of the First Brigade. But after a
morning spent looking around the
camp of the Philadelphia troops, he
decided to also inspect the Fourth
Brigade, and the trip was made in an
auto. He started back to General
Price's camp about 4 o'clock, on foot,
accompanied by his host and General
Coryell and several other officers,
passing through the streets of the
several regiments. The Fourth In
fantry, recruited from six Central
Pennsylvania counties, and command
ed by Colonel C. T. O'Neil, gave him
a cherry welcome, and the officers of
each company shook hands with him
cordially as he passed along. • The
party then entered the Eighth In
fanry camp, and the same spirit of
cordiality was manifested. When
Company D was reached, and while
Senator Penrose and other officers
were in the regimental street, the sol
diers in the company street below
shouted three rousing cheers for him,
and he walked down to the admiring
crowd and shook hands all around.
He left for Harrisburg on the 5
o'clock train. *

Iron Age Says War May Ultimately
Bring Benefits, but Opera
tion* Are Now Cut Down
The effect the war situation is hav
ing on the steel trade is discussed in
the current issue of the Iron Age. It
says the iron and steel trade is in con
dition of uncertainty; that war ulti
mately may bring benefits but that at
the present time experts are blocked
and many men are idle; mill oper
ations are cut down and pig iron is
flat. It says in part:
"The steel trade is moving cautious
ly in a situation full of uncertainties.
The ultimate benefits war will bring
to our manufacturers are producing
one set of predictions and promoting
one kind of business policy, such as
the putting up of prices of steel pro
ducts. On the other hand are un
favorable effects which figure in the
immediate situation—the stopping
of experts, the laying off of thousands
of men in industries dependent in part
on the export trade, the halting of a
number of undertakings, the tighten
ing of money and the increase of con
servatism in railroad buying.
"There is little evidence (hat buyers
are concerned about building up
stocks. The whole consuming trade
specified quite liberal in July and
there light buying at the new prices.
"Mill opej-atlons have been cut down
in a few cases because of the shutting
off of foreign trade. The Allentown,
Pa., plant of the American Steel &
Wire Co., which sends practically all
its output abroad, has curtailed pro
duction. Some reduction of working
force has been made at a New Eng
land wire plant also.

Yesterday for the first time German

young officers with spiked helmets
covered with brown holland cloth to

By arrangement with a number of
Steelton business men the Telegraph
is supplying news bulletins in Ger

English, to the people of Steelton. The
bulletins are taken right from wires
in the Telegraph's editorial rooms and
transmitted by telephone to the vari
ous stations in Steelton. Here the
news is translated into the various
languages and posted in front of tha
various stores.
This service was started last Satur
day and has now been worked out to
almost perfection. Great interest is
manifested in the news and large
groups of adherents of the various
armies are continually in front of the
bulletin boards. Whenever a dispatch
is posted showing the success of a
friendly power there is a cheer from
the groups and when a reserve is
shown by the dispatches there is much
gloom manifested on the anxious faces
of the watchers.
Bulletins are now posted in South

French Public Ignorant
of Whereabouts of Army
By 4-tsociattd Press
London. Aug. 13, 3.10 A M. —The
Daily Mail's Paris correspondent com
ments 011 the rigor of the censorship
prevailing in France, which has
thrown an Impenetrable veil of mys
tery over the operations on the French
frontier, with the result that the
French public, is more ignorant of
j is happening than it was when
Napoleon was fighting a century ago.
When the soldiers now depart for
the front, says the correspondent., they
leave no trace; their relatives have no
means of knowing whether they are
in the fighting line and are obliged to
entrust letters for them to the minis
try for war. and perhaps receive the
statement from the ministry: "Your
son h'as fallen on the field of honor."
