VON HINTZE SEES
REAL AIM OF HUN
ENEMIES IN WAR
$p Conference of Emperors
Polish Question Is to
Be Discussed
Amsterdam, Aug. 16.—At confer
ences now proceeding between Em
peror William of Germany and Em
peror Charics of. Austria, at the Ger
man main headquarters, the Po
lish question will be discussed, the
Vienna correspondent of the Berlin
Tageblatt states definitely, accord
ing to a dispatch from Amsterdam
to the Central News. Baron Burian,
Austro-llungarian foreign secretary,
considers that the Austrian solution
of the question is the only one ac
ceptable to Austria-Hungary, but it
is understood this solution is not
acceptable to Germany. Interesting
developments are expected, the dis
patch says.
Admiral von Hintze. German For
eign Secretary, before leaving for
main headquarters to take part in
the conferences between Emperor
William and Emperor Charles and
their advisers, was interviewed by
the Berlin correspondent of the
Colurrne Gazette.
Admiral von Hintze discussed the
statement of Premier Lloyd George
in Pis war anniversary message that
six months ago Germany deliberate
ly rejected a just and reasonable
settlement proposed by the allies and
that Germany discarded finally the
mask of moderation toward parti
tioned Russia and enslaved Rumania.
Admiral von Hintze said:
Discusses George Statement
"Lloyd George's statement was
Vague unci uncertain. Nothing is
lcnown authoritatively in German
political or military circles about
such 'reasonable' peace proposals.
"Had the entente statesmen seri
ousb intended to pave the way for
a p jace by understanding they could
have approached Germany through
the properly authorized persons with
a view of discussion that would
torirtj both parties into contact. There
can be no question, therefore, of a
'refusal' by Germany of any rea
sonable peace proposal."
Admiral von Hintze reviewed the
conditions of peace that had been
laid down in other speeches of Pre
mier Llyod George, in the messages
of President Wilson and in the de
cisions of the entente allied confer
ence at Versailles, and the views
expressed by German Chancellors
and Count Czernin, former Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister. He said
that several German Chancellors had
pointed out that the enemy con
tinued to show a will to prosecute
the war until the annihilation of
Germany should be accomplished.
"Subsequent developments have
shown the same picture," Admiral
von Hintze, declared.
In concluding. Admiral von Hintze
was emphatic in asserting that guilt
for the prolongation of the war lay
not with Germans but with the en-
statesmen.
A telegram to the Lokal Anzeiger,
of Berlin, from Karl Rosner, its war
reads:
"For days past the headquarters
Chas been the scene of important
nnd fruitful deliberations by the
Kaiser received his august guest at
<and military questions. With the
brrival of Emperor Charles and his
.political and military advisers the
deliberations are reaching their high
est point.
"Accompanied by Count con Wedel,
Admiral von Hintze (the German
Foreign Secretary) and his suite, the
Kaiser received his august gust at
•the station. After an exchange of
party greetings and the presentation
of the suites, the Emperors and their
personal retinue proceeded to the
quarters of Field Marshal von Hin
denburg and General Ludendorff to
hear their report on the military sit
uation."

HARRISBT7RG TELEGRAPH!
ATLANTIC CITY
RESORTS RAIDED
FOR ARMY RANKS
Out of Several Hundred 100
Are Yield at Morris
Guard Armory
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 16.—Three
hundred agents of the Department of
Justice and the American Protection
League went through the crowds on
the ocean piers here last night and
arrested all men within the draft
age who could not show registration
cards. Several hundred were taken
into custody, but the majority of
them were later released. About 100
were locked up at the Morris guard
armory. Many of them declared they
had registration cards but had left
them at home.
The raid was the most sensational
in the history qf Atlantic City, and
at a late hour hundreds of young
men of draft age, who had been un
able to show their registration and
classification cards were herded upon
the Steel pier and men from the Uni
ted States Department of Justice were
weeding them out.
The report of the raid swept up
and down the boardwalk shortly after
10.30 o'clock, when the raiders first
closed in on the four piers. Its con
firmation came when the curious by
thousands swarmed toward the en
trances along the boardwalk to find
a cordon of men in plain clothes ef
fectually preventing anyone either
entering or leaving the piers.
Thirty Federal agents headed by
Todd Daniel, acting chief of the
Philadelphia bureau, and more than
too members of the American Protec
tive League, participated in the raid.
Their arrival at the resort was un
heralded and their presence came like
a thunderclap upon the hundreds of
young couples who were dancing on
some of the piers and diking in the
amusements on others.
, Four Piers Covered
Four piers were covered by the
Federal agents. They were Young's
Million Dollar pier at the southern
end of the city, the Steeplchase pier,
the Steel pier tnd Young's old pier.
At the time the blow was struck
each place was filled.

Truth and Honor
Truth and Honor go hand in hand. A merchant who
makes exaggerated, untruthful statements about his
store and his merchandise cannot rightfully claim to be
truthful or honorable. Here, every statement made is
as truthful as it is possible to be. Goods are bought and
sold on the representation of the most reliable houses,
and strict supervision maintained over store trans
actions. This business was founded on honor and will
continue to progress on that basis.
•
It is dishonorable to present qualities that are not
dependable. A merchant is in duty bound to protect
the confidence that people place in him. A patron gives
money of honest quality to the merchant and he in turn
must give honest merchandise in exchange. That is
the attitude which prompts us to offer only merchandise
of known good quality.
