THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1914

REFUSE MESSAGES III SECRET CODES TO FOREIGN PORTS Telegraph Companies Practically Suspend Cable Business From City Owing to , Strict Censorship. The condition of foreign cables can easily be seen by the number of cable orders which Manager Ryan of the Western Union has received here since the opening of the European war. Code, cipher and secret language messages have been prohibited at any rates. Only messages forming intelligible sentences or phrases plainly understood by the foreign censors are permitted. Even the Western Union code of some' 2,000 ' words indicating by a single short word a message or sentence of five or six words is under ban in the foreign office. The full rate or' fast service, the deferred service or half rate, the European and Cuban cable letters, and the European and Argentine week end letters are still permitted should any sender wish to take the risk of having his messages transmitted. Subject To Censorship. All cable service to Germany has been suspended for several days. The French government sent out orders yesterday that messages will be taken only In English. French, German, Portugese, Latin, Roman or SpaniBh and the messages are subject to censorship when received. The cable rate for fast service to Great Britain, France, Belgium and Holland is now thirty-one cents a word Including the necessary prefix or address and the signature. The most meager message containing in the bodv onlv the word "safe" could hard

ly be sent for less than $2.20 on the fast service. The deferred rate to London of 12 cents a word and to other foreign countries except Germany of 15 cents a word is still in force. Week end letters are taken for the London and Liverpool offices at $1.65 for twenty-five words. The cable business out of the Richmond office has practically stopped because of the war. A few residents of this city have received business cablegrams and one or two cables relating to conditions of sender have been delivered out of the office. Only a few cablegrams have been taken here for ending to foreign points. EXAMINERS DECIDE EVA SULLIVAH SANE Physicians Report on Inquest ; Held ih Squire Cheesman's Court.

The prince immediately dismantled his chateau, sending all his plate, works of art, and other valuables to Germany. The layout photograph shown above gives a vivid picture of how the chateau would look under fire from the German forces. Flying overhead is a German military dirigible.

LONDON (2 p. m.) Still no convincing news from the 150mile battle line along the Franco-German frontier, although there are reports of many engagements, with the Germans undoubtedly forging ahead of the great conflict. Lord Kitchner, the English War Minister, threatens newspapers publishing any news of the English forces, with suspension and the censorship at Paris, Brussels and Berlin is like-wise clamped down on the movements of the various forces. The Belgian army has been bearing the brunt of the fighting thus far, while the allies are disposing their forces. The London Chronicle reports the captain of a Danish steamer as sighting the masts of seven sunken ships near the mouth of the Humber. The captain is certain that the boats were German, but there is no confirmation of this from any source. SHANGHAI Reports of a naval battle have reached here. Two warships, either British or French, are putting into Hong Kong, badly damaged, as a result of a fight with German ships. NEW YORK The 'Staats Zeitung published a report today that sixty torpedo boats of the German fleet sank four English dreadnoughts and six cruisers near the mouth of the Humber. Nineteen of the German Torpedo boats were destroyed inhe engagement. This report the Staats Zeitung said was received by a big shipping firm in New York City, BRUSSELS The forts at Liege still hold out despite the terrific bombardment night and day by the German artillery- Other

defenses are being thrown up by the Belgians at Liege. The war office claims a decisive victory at Diest and Haelen yesterday and states that the Belgians today recaptured an ancient fortress near

Diest, which the Germans took yesterday. German casualties are announced as 3,000 but the Berlin loss was light. PARIS The French war office announces that the Belgian cavalry has won a brilliant success over the German invaders of Belgium and "has repulsed the enemy with heavy losses." Many German dirigibles are sighted by the French troops along the frontier. ROME Italy is massing 250,000 men on its frontiers, "as a precautionary movement" and batteries of heavy artillery are being moved toward the French, Swiss and Austrian boundaries. Notwithstanding, Italy's neutrality, war conditions prevail. Reports are that the famous Simplon tunnel through the Alps has been mined. WASHINGTON A greatly delayed cablegram from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin reports that all Americans in Germany are "perfectly safe." AMSTERDAM Although Holland has given notice of neutrality, war preparations are proceeding. BRUSSELS Three German aeroplanes flying over Diest today, were brought down by Belgian sharp-shooters. PORTSMOUTH All German and American subjects here were ordered to leave within three days. LONDON London is practically under martial law, so strict are the regulations posted by the war office. LONDON Not a word has been made public concerning the English land forces that landed in France one week ago.

LONDON There is no confirmation of the report that Prince Von Buelow, a brother of the former German chancellor, was killed at Liege. LONDON Reuter's Telegram Company has a Brussels report that General Von Emmich, commander of the German Tenth

Army corps is dead, but there is no confirmation. CHICAGO Hogs opened steady and 10 cents higher. CHICAGO Wheat opened lower. PARIS The German cruisers Goebin and Breslau have arrived in Turkish waters, but have not yet lowered the German flag.

MOWREY DONATES $100,000 TO "Y" Word has reached Ellis M. Learner, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., of what he considers one of the biggest events in state Y. M. C. A. work for many years. This was the donation by Nelson Mowrey of Greensburg, of $100,000 for building, equipping and maintaining an association building in that city. Since Greensburg is only a small city this generous gift is considered all

Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friend, relative to the peace conference which was held in Constance, on the border of Germany and Switzerland as the war was really; breaking. i5.4 r.;. ' "The conference met on Aug. 2. There were fifteen countries represented and more than thirty denominations present. A number of high dignitaries of American churches were present. The conference had just time enough to send a message to every king, ruler or president of the powers of the earth, asking for peaoe when the warning was sent out that the last train was preparing to leave for Holland. The members hastily adjourned to London where the conference continued. They escaped on the last train sent out of Constance under the protection of the German government. FRENCH IN FEAR (Continued from Page One.) were fired at him, but he suceeded in escaping. German Shows Daring. A daring German aviator, carrying a French flag on his aeroplane, succeeded in reaching Vesoul, capital of Hauto-Saone, and dropped a number of bombs there before he was chased back to the frontier. To reach the department of the Hauto-Saone he had to fly high over the Vosger mauntains, risking his life in the treacherous aircurrents that are known to exist there. The French war office issued an official communique today announcing that the Belgian cavalry had defeated the German invaders of Belgium and had "repulsed the enemy with heavy losses. Discussing the fighting abilities of the Germans the "communique" made this comment: . "The Germans seem to be stricken with fear. One prisoner was asked why the Germans were not fighting better and he replied: 'This is not a war by the people; it is an officers' war.' " Punish Spies. Swift punishment is being meted out by French troops upon persons accused of being German spies. Many of these are said to have been operating among the French troops in Alsace. The mayor and postmaster of Thann, a town near Muelhausen, were caught reporting the movements of the French forces to the Germans and both were shot. The anti-German feelings of the French are being Inflamed by a series purporting to describe German outrages upon citizens of France and Russia. There was a rush of subscribers to the war relief fund today. M. Appel, president of The National Aid society who is in charge of the fund, stated he expected it to reach $2,000,000 within twenty-four hours, The first big subscription to the fund came from the Rotschild Brothers, who contributed 5250,000.

The British fleet in the Far East has cornered the German fleet there, according to a dispatch received today from the Hong Kong correspondent of The Exchange Telegraph Company. ITALY PROTEST8 PURCHASE. ROME, Aug. 14. The purchase of the German warships Goeben and Breslau by Turkey, which appears to be an accomplished fact despite the denials on Thursday, created a deeply unfavorable impression here today. Italy is expected to demand an explanation of Turkey's intentions and to warn the ports that this country will not allow the present naval equilibrium of the eastern Mediterranean to be threatened. AUSTRIA CONCENTRATES. VIENNA, via London, Aug. 14-. NewB of the British declaration of a state of war with Austria caused a great sensation here. The warships blockading the Montenegrin coast were immediately withdrawn and ordered to join the main fleet in prepa ration of attack by English warships.

VENUE POLICE CASE TO RANDOLPH COURT Change of venue to Randolph county was granted yesterday by Judge Fox in the suit of a New Castle resident against Patrolmen Bundy and Mencke who are named defendants in a $2,000 damage suit. The New Castle resident whose name is Bailey, is said to have tried to pass a Canadian bill for an American $1 bill. The two patrolmen interferred and Bailey missed his train. As he had no other money, according to his story, he suffered the inconvenience of walking the streets until he could secure funds to take a later train. ITALIANS PLACE (Continued from Page One.) which the Italians have no vital inter est. It is reported and there seem to be authentic ground for the belief, that Italy has appealed or will appeal to' the United States for special aid against being forced into the war. The Rome press announces that this phase may have something to do witn the proposed trip of Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page to Washington on official mission. Stand of Italy. Italy stands in this position: It is of vital importance for her to main tain her present strength on the Adriatic and this can only be accomplished while the territory on the eastern shores of this body of water are held by a small power or a little nation without a naval base, such as Albania. It is the ambition of Austria to extend her possessions down along the Adriatic and through the western part of the Balkans to the Aegian Sea. If Austria is victorious in the war of the nations, she probably will insist upon compensation (from Servla") con sisting of territory which would give her i more Adriatic coast, and an outlet to the' Aegian. At the present time Servla touches neither of these bod ies of water, but Austria would have to cut through Servian soil to reach her goals. On the other hand If Italy had joined with Austria and Germany, and the Triple Alliance goes down to defeat the country would undoubtedly lose territory and prestige. The government would be sunk in debt; the male population would be ravaged and the people would be in a mood of in tense hostility against King Victor Emmanuel.

IN HARVESTER SUIT 14 'If S;yU George W. Perkins, close friend of Colonel Roosevelt, who was named as one of the individual defendants in the government's suit against the Harvester trust, says an appeal from the rioHfrinn which stamps the corpora Hon n a monoDolr and orders its dis solution, will be taken to a higher court. Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, wVintn nomination to the Federal re serve board was withdrawn by Presi dent Wilson was also named among the individual defendants. STAATS-ZEITUNG (Continued from Page One.) It is a defensive war for the German nation, with their national life at stake. "England has been jealous of Germany and her commercial triumphs for more than a generation. France has advertised her loss of Alsace and Lorraine.- Still the whole world has accepted her sentimental attitude on this question. Russia, since her setback by Japan, has been' looking westward .for an outlet to the sea. It is very difficult to forecast the outcome of what may prove the greatest war in the history of mankind. "Emperor William is part of the nation of Germany, but by no means, the all-important part. The role he plays in the commercial, artistic and military life of Germany is In proportion to his personal magnetism and his personal ability. Had Germany been under a republican form of government, war would have been declared just as quickly." CANDIDATES MEET A private meeting of Republican candiates for offices was held last night in the office o the county chair man, L. S. Bowman. Plans for the Republican party's campaign were discussed. The meetings have been oc curring regularly every three weeks. GET WELrLr The Chiropratic Way A perfect spine means PERFECT health.
