TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED
Violent nttncHa aro lining delivered by the German* against the al
lien' linen between the districts of the Also* and the Argonne, saya the of
flclal French statement issued at Paris, this afternoon.
Thus far. according to the statoment, these onslaughts have been re
pulsed. The official announcement is brief, the French war office con
tenting Itself with the added remark that there I* nothing new other
wise In Hie general situation.
Germany Is prepared to finance a long war. That assertion is made
In a dispatch from Berlin which passed through the hands of the British
censor at I-ondon. The war Is costing Germany, It la stated. J6.00U,000 a
day. The war loan ha* proved a success and with the various resources
front which the government can derive the war revenue tt will be pos
sible for Germany. It Is stated, to continue the struggle for a year with
the money now In sight. A dispatch from Home say* that 300,000 troops
have been assembled at Pola, the great naval port of Austria, and that
thorough preparations have been made against an attack from the sea.
The hour for the battle which w ill determine the Russians will make
their proposed Invasion of Uermany with Berlin as the final objective,
appears to be drawing near.
Official and unofficial advices indicate a struggle In Russian Poland
rivaling the desperation and possibly In the numbers engaged, the bat
tles of the Marne and Atsne. The main body of the Russians is moving
toward the Posen frontier. On Its right another nrmv Is supposed to be
attempting to protect the larger body by stemming the rush southward
of the German force that drove the Russian Invaders from Hast Prussia
and now seeks to halt the westward movement.
At the same time the Rttsslan army In Galicia Is pushing Its sue
ceases against the Austrians and moving westward with the expectation
of meeting the combined Austrian and German forces concentrating at
Cracow, on the Galician frontier in a battle that is successful, will com
plete their campaign In Galicia. The Germans are reported In strong
force on the line from Kalis* to Cracow, where thev are said to he well
entrenched. There is every reason to believe that the real test of the
Russian aggressive strength wtll not long be delayed.
Again today the report that the Russians have crossed the Carpathian
range and entered Hungary, capturing Ux&ok is repeated, lixsok lies In
a line extending from Lemberg, the capital of Galicia, southwest of Buda
pest. There tn nothing to Indicate that the Russian diversion Into Hun
gary Is any very Important factor In their general strategy. Earlier re
port* that the Russians In Galicia had occupied a part of Fraemysl on
their mnrcli to Cracow have not been confirmed.
In the Far Fast the Japanese-British attack on Kiaochow the Ger
man leased pot,session In China, move* slowly. A battle between lend
force* has been fought on the outskirts of Tslng-Tau, the seat of gov
ernment of Kiaochow. Toklo claim* a victory In t!*> engagement which
not appear to have been on a very great scale German rennet*
suy that their forces fell buck to their line of defenses around Taing-Tau.
Occasional fighting continues In Belgium. Amsterdam reports a .h»m
encounter between the German* and Belgians four miles cast of Antwern
and other ciaahea H miles east of Ghent. How lliey resulted Is not known.
Beachey Loops Loop 4 Times Over
Capitol, Then Twice Over White House
Washington.—Lincoln Peachy, In an aeroplane, looped the loop four
time* over the dome of the capitol today while President Wilson watch* l
the performance from a White House window. The aviator then made
such an abrupt landing on tbe Potomac lowland* near ths Washington
monument that observers tn the lull wirclsas tower* at the Arlington radio
station reported he had fallen.
Beachey then finished the performance by turning two flop* over tha
Whit* House and then more loop*, flying low over the business aectlon of
the city while government officials and thousands of spectators held their

along or behind which the death
dealing Herman guns lay.
Murderous Fire.
“The order was given to advance,
but though the gallant troops escap
ed the crowning misfortune of falling
upon barbed wire they were received,
as was to he feared, by a murderous
machine gun fire. Upon approaching
the cover the guards fixed bayonets
and charged. They took those guns
In five minutes, six of them, and to
night they are iti the British lines.
“The charge created a necessary
diversion allowing our heavy artil

to the pontoon bridge had twice more,

German big guns silenced. Thanks
to the admirable reconnolterlng work

BARON WILHELM VON SCHOEN.
Washington.—lt is expected that
President Wilson will ask for the re
call of Baron von Scheon of the Ger
man diplomatic corps in an effort to
put a stop to public comments on the
international relations of the United
States by diplomatic representatives
of foreign governments. The presi
dent lost all patience when he saw
an interview with von Seheon who ar
rived here last week from Tokio. In
his ill-advised interview on which he
stands firm, but which the German
ambassador says von Scheon never
gave out, he is quoted as having said
that Japan was unfriendly to the
United States and wanted war with
this nation rather than Germany.
SERIOUS REVOLT
CAMPECHE, MEX.
Nightly Disturbances and Hold
up Reported by Passengers
in New York Today at
Progresso.
New York.—Serious uprisings and
disturbances in Campeche, Mexico,
were reported by passengers and of
ficers of the steamship Esperanza,
which arrived In New York today
trom Vera Cruz and Progreso. Cam
peche to this date has been compara
tively free from revolutionary trou
bles and in that district many of the
wealthier residents of Central Mexico
a* well as deposed federal officers
took refugee. Stories were told the
steamships officers at Progreso of
pilaging and robbery at Campeche by
Constitutionalist soldiers and In
Progreso, one of the ship's officers
said, robberies and hold ups were of
nightly occurrence and no effort was
made to give police protection.
Whan Order Came.
The Esperanza was In Vera Cruz
when the order of President Wilson
directing General Funston to prepare
to evacuate the city was received. The
majority of the residents of Vera Cruz,
the ship’s officers said, were made
uneasy by the order. When the Es
peranza left Vera Cruz she had on
hoard 255 passengers, some of whom
had left hurriedly upon hearing that
the American forces were to be with
drawn. On arrival at Progreso Mex
icar officers wanted to arrest sixteen
passengers said to have been promt
pent supporters of the Huerta gov
ernment. The captain of the Es
peranza put out to sea and the pas
sengers In question were transferred
to the cruiser Salem. The Esperan

went hack to Progreso and cleared for

PRIZE COURT IS
REVIVED AFTER
SIXTY TEARS
Capture of German Merchant
Vessels All Over World Ever
Since Beginning of Great
War Cause of Reviving.
London. —The capture by British
cruisers of German merchant vessels
all over the world since tl\e beginning
of the great European war has caused
the admiralty to revive that ancient
institution, the Prize Court. The cap
tured vessels, now held by the gev
ernment, must de disposed of, and the
proceeds, according to precedent will
be pro-rated among 'the men who
made the captures.
Not for sixty years has a Prize
Court sat in England. The last was
in 1854, in the Crimean War, when
the fate of the Leucade was decided.
In the wars of the present generation
half-forgetful of the possibility that
this country might once again be
swept into a huge international strug
gle, the expressions “Price Court” and
“prize of war” have a remote and un
familiar sound. To many announce
ments of the Prize Court sittings to
begin today at the Royal Courts of
Justice probably convey little definite
meaning.
Booty Means Sooil.
Booty means spoil taken from the
enemy on land. Prize means ship or
goods taken on the water. The first
is a simple affair. A belligerent is In
possession of certain property: his
conqueror takes it from him; and
there is no more to be said. Prize Is
much more complicated. The cap
ture of a ship may give rise to all
sorts of questions affecting nations
who are not at war at all, and whose
rights as neutrals must be respected.
It is here that the need for adjudica
tion arises, and it is in order to settle
all such questions and to decide in
e*'h instance whether the captive js
or is not lawful prey that recourse Is
had to a Prize Court like that over
whio Sir Samuel Evans will be pre
siding in the course of the next few
tteys
When a ship belongs to the enemy
it is almost always lawful to take her.
There are a very few exceptions. A
fishing boat is exempt and so is a
small trading vessel, and a mission
ship, and a ship conveying exchanged
prisoners of war. Apart from such
trifling and fairly obvious exceptions,
a ship sailing under the colors or pass
of the enemy may always he taken,
either in our own waters or on the
high seas. It is when a vessel flies
a neutral flag that difficulties begin.
If the neutral flag was hoisted aboard
an enemy ship without a bona-fide
sale and delivery to a neutral complet
ed by tlie payment of the purchase
money, there is no transfer of proper
ty, and the enemy ship is an enemy
ship still.
Violation of Neutrality.
Again, a ship, the undoubted prop
erty of a neutral, may be violating her
neutrality. She may have committed
a breach of blockade. She may have
absolute contraband on board—goods,
that is to say, that are deemed spe
cially adapted for warlike purposes.
Or she may be conveying conditional
contraband—goods rendered contra-

jfcgp " «foull like the choice T
JL tobaccos in this
distinctive blend \
band by the ship’s destination. If a
neutral ship is bound for an ordinary
commercial port, a cargo not special
warlike will be presumed not to he
intended to aid a belligerent, but to
be intended for civil use only, whereas
if the detention be a military or naval
station a precisely opposite conclu
sion will be drawn. Moreover, the
neutral ship may lose her character
by conveying military or naval offi
cers or carrying a belligerent’s dis
patches. In such events she is liable
equally with the avowed enemy to be
captured anywhere except within the
terrntorial waters of a neutral state.
These are a few of the points that
may be connected with the capture of
a ship at sea. Hence the importance
of the rule that the matter shall be
brought promptly into court for ad
judication, so that the vessel may be
condemned if her capture was rightly
made, or that restitution may be or
dered in the event of any mistake hav
ing been committed. The hearing It
self is necessarily quite unlike any
ordinary legal proceedings. Differ
ence of language, distance, and the
impracticability of collecting foreign
witnesses for cross-examination are
all factors which help to put anything
like norma] legal methods out of the
question. Accordingly, the series of
simple tests or rules have been laid
down relating to the ship papers, the
character and destination of the cargo,
and the answers of those on board to
the interrogatories put to them.
If these rules have been transgress
ed, the presumption is against the
ship, and she Is condemned in the ab
sence of contrary proof in her favor,
which, of course, it is nearly always
impossible to give. On the other hand
if the rules have not been trans
gressed the presumption is the other
way, suspicions are disregarded —in
this country, that is, for the Russian
practice is different—and the captive
goes free.
Tt will be seen that the ship papers
—the books, passes, charter parties,
bills of lading, letters, and so forth—•
found on board are of the greatest
importance if the ship is to be con
victed “out of her own mouth."
Where the papers make significant
revelations, or where there is a dis
crepancy between the papers and the
ship’s course, the evidence against the
ship may be even more damning than
that afforded by the character of the
Scene from “The Sea Wolf,” at the Grand tonight. Reserved

It is, therefore, one of the first duties
of the captor to secure all the papers,
and arrange and number them, and
when the prize has been brought into
port the papers are handed over to
the custody of the registry of the
Prize Court. As soon as a ship is
condemned it is the property of the
Crown, and it was as grantees of the
Crown that the captors of rich prizes
in the old days were enriched by the
spoil.
The system, however, worked un
fairly to the navy as a whole, for the
actual captors were ordinarily the
commanders and crews of fast cruisers
who preyed upon the enemy’s com
merce, while those bearing the brunt
of battle in the heavy ships of the
line got nothing. A new plan is now
being adopted, and it is to he hoped
that in its working it will not deprive
the navy, which guards our very ex
istence as a nation, of the rewards
that are its due, but will only provide
for their more equitable distribution.
Prize courts are still subject only
to their own sovereigns. Belligerents
are sole judges in their own cause,
and it is not surprising that their de
cisions have often been disputed by
neutrals. To avoid these difficulties
and the necessity of getting over them
by such cumbrous expeditions as
Mixed Commissions at the end of a
war, various plans for an International
Court have been formulated, and in
1907, at The Hague Conference, after
endless discussion, a convention was
actually framed. The rule to he
plied, however, remained the subject
of such conflicting views that it was
not practicable to set up the court.
