MINE RUE MEETING VALUABLE TO MINERS

President Houston Will Urge Every I Miner in District to Attend September Gathering.

Instructions to be given in S«ptcmber by the national first aid and wine rescue meet in Terre Haute will be more valuable to the miners of the Eleventh district, United Mine Workers of America, than any previous work the miners have ever taken, William Houston, president of the district, delared last night. In view of the importance of the meet, the district board is contemplating sending out circulars to every miner, urging him to be present at the meet, Mr. Houston said. "The miners should realize the importance of this meet," said Mr. Houston. "They can gain a better impresflion from this meet than they could from a thousand years' talk among the miners. Such an exhibition as is intended will leave a vivid impression .with the miners. They will see gae exploded in the big steel tank and }iow the rescue work is carried on and it will leave them with a warning thought. "Tho miners flirt with gas in the mines, not knowing how dangerous it is- But just as soon as they get burned V, they are more careful. When they see the effects of an explosion at the meet 1 they won't want to flirt with any gas."

Several teams have been entered from the Terre Haute district to com^^^jpete in the meet. West Terre Haute, ]Linton and Sullivan expect to send teams, and the rescue work already has become the topic of conversation around the mines.

IN SITUATION GIN

Chamber of German-American Commerce Appeals to Wilson to Relieve Censorship.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—At the request of the Chamber of GermanAmerican Commerce, which has protested to President Wilson against the censoring of the German wireless stations when no action in this regard has been taken with the trans-Atlan-tic cables, the following outline of the European war situation from the German view point has been prepared for the press. The author is a member of the German general staff who is held In this country awaiting a re-opening of communication with Germany to return and report for duty. "The severe criticism of German operations is based on the impressions of people not trained in military matters. Soldiers are now massed along the entire line from Belfort practically to the North sea and the two armies are facing each other, not on German soil, but on Belgian soil and in France, so that the great battles wil not bo fought on German territory. The losses at Liege, as given out by reliable sources, are from 4,000 to 5,000, al though the enemy reported as high as 38,000, and disregarding the tremendous difficulties there, the Germans have taken the city of Liege and part of its fortiflctions. Taking the remainder is only a matter of a few days.

Position of Army.

"The German army of the north today overlooks tahe Meuse and Its vanguard is occupying a line between Diest and Namur. These vanguards consist not only of detachments of cavalry, but also of machine guns. Gradual progress is being made all along the line. When a detachment finds itself outnumbered, it evades an engagement because it is the business of the vanguard not to fight, but reconnoiter. These tactics are seized upon by the English and exploited as victories. The German mobilization was precise and everywhere from the north to the south, the German army is meeting the enemy on the enemies' soil. If the French mobilization was so excellent as they claim it was, why are not the French carrying the horrors of war to German soil? The outer forts of Liege have been taken by the Germans. German vanguards are marching through Montmedia, Pont-A-Mous-son and Lunville. The French have always been the military trainers of the Belgians and French engineers laid out the Belgian forts. Would it not have been military suicide if Ger many had not anticipated the dangers and occupied Belgium before France had tho opportunity?"

men by non-combatants in Belgium. It reiterates that Germany has fought only its enemies in the field and declares that it is now compelled to resort to extreme measures to prevent civilians taking part in the war.

In summing up her position, Germany says: "If the war thus assumes a brutal character it will not be the fault of the German nation. German arms are fighting the enemies of Germany. If private citizens are to be slain because of participation in the war, then the responsibility is on France and Belgium—not on Germany."

tion with his staff. He has been very considerate of Ambassador Gerard, the American ambassador. Protests against the arrest of various English and American citizens, made to the foreign office by the ambassador, have been courteously adjusted without loss of time. The emperor has changed greatly since actual hostilities began. The deep lines of his face are accentuated. The smile has left his lips. There can be no doubting from a view of him that he realizes,' probably more than any other person in Germany, what the present war means. There may be regret because of the necessity of war. There is great sorrow over the loss of the flower of Germany's youth. But the emperor and his ministers take the position that they did everything they could to avoid the war, and now that the task confronts them, they must rtieet its demands.

All Americas in Germany are safe, they are being cared for in every way possible. But the embassy is overtaxed by the demands made upon it. It has been suggested that a German steamship might be chartered, and with the consent of all of the warring powers, sent from a German port to New York, with all of the Americans that it could care for. Germany is willing to take this up with the combatants, but it is doubtful whether consent could be obtained. Meanwhile, Ambassador Gerard will continue to send the refugees into neutral territory at Rotterdam and The Hague and will depend on the state department finding the steamers to bring them back to the United States. German homes have been Qpened to Americans who have no other places to go. Hotels that have been patronized by Americans in the past are caring for their guests on promises to pay. Travel to the south is suspended, but now that mobilization is completed, some regular trains to the north are to be restored-

The nation itself is calm. There have been no anti-war demonstrations. Details of the fighting are meagre. The newspapers have no information from the outside world, and the war office intelligence bureau, while promising complete reports of all operations, takes the position that the details of preliminary skirmishing must be withheld, otherwise the enemy might gain important information regarding the disposition of the German armies.

ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. 15.—Three sil-ver-plated ribs, placed in the body of Charles Feathers, aged 55, a railroader, after he was hurt In a wreck some years ago, are supposed to have attracted a stroke of lightning, which one night kocked him off a chair while he was sitting on his front porch, rendered him unconscious, paralyzed his vocal chords and gave him a mild case of lockjaw. His son was on the porch with him, but escaped uninjured.

Feathers had recovered somewhat from the shock a few hours later, but was still unable to talk and unable to move his Jaws.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Department of justice .food price probers tonight regarded as significant, if not altogether suspicious, the hold-up of the western beet sugar crop, as reported by a special investigator at Kansas City. The Topeka agent also reported that the California crop has not appeared. Beet agents agTeed that the holdup is mysterious Inasmuch as the crop is generally marketed early in August.

This "apparent find" gave the authorities hope that they will be able to smooth out combinations as the answer to extremely burdensome sugar and meat prices.

SPEEDER MAY BE HELD ON A DOUBLE CHARGE

Young Man Caught Without License Said to Have Taken Machine Without Permission.

After attempting to bribe Moforcycleman Huffman to release him for ?1, a man giving his name as Henry Winings, 22 years old, was arrested on North Fourteenth street yesterday for operating an automobile without a license and for exceeding the speed limit. Later it was learned that he had taken the auto from the Miller garage, on South Ninth street, without the owner's permission, and it is probable that an additional charge of grand larceny may be lodged against the man-

According to the owners of the garage, Winings appeared there yesterday afternoon and said he had come for the W. Bergherm-machine and wished to take it out to make some repairs. According to Miller, the man had come to the garage with the Bergherm machine before, and he was allowed to take it. He was racing the auto north on Fourteenth street when he attracted the atention of Huffman and was arrested. A telephone conversation with Bergherm showed the young man had never talked with Bergherm at all regarding the usfe of the machine.
