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.

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.

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.

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 za with a naval officer aboard then went hack to Progreso and cleared for Havana.

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- Here Are Two Real Estate Bargains WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? For $5,250 —A store and dwelling combined.

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.

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. Wednesday, September 30. Matinee and Evening.
