Now that the three allied armies In the codicil, drawn up by Judi Once a prosperous painter, Peter x Hedberg is today held in $1000 bonds vance last Sunday. : It is rumored persistently at The Hague that the Ger- man crown prince, Frederick William, has been seriously wounded at the front, and that Emperor William has has- tened to the side of his son, who is said to be at Aix-la- Chappelle. : Despatches from London delayed by the British cen- sors announce officially the landing of the British expedi- tionary force on the French coast. John French the British commander-in-chief, was given a rousing reception in Paris. The British army in France is believed to number between 100,000 and 120,000 men. The Servian premier is authority for the statement that Austrian forces have suffered serious defeat on the Servian line. He telegraphs London, that trians have been “annihilated” near Sabaca when they fled in disorder. The Servians guns. Two German cruisers, evidently seriously disabled in an encounter with the enemy have brought into Hong Kong. The censorship maintained at this British port in China prevents the sending of the vessels’ names or any details of the engagement which preceded their capture. The German cruiser Leipsig which came Francisco yesterday for coal left the Golden Gate early today with a supply that will carry her to nearest German port, Apia. The Japanese cruiser Idzumo is believed to be coming up the Pacific coast to observe the movements of Liepsic. The announcement from London and Paris that war correspondents will be allowed in the field, coupled with Great Britain’s request to Belgium to expel the cor- respondents now in the zone of operations, makes it prob- able that the story of the first great battle will be told only ‘through official reports. It is known that the German general staff regulations absolutely prohibit correspondents with the army. official artists and historians may go with German troops, and they will not be permitted to write or make public | their sketches until the conclusion of a campaign or at mdlscretlon of the authorities. (Continued on Eleventh Page.) Field Marshall 15,000 Aus- 14 Austrian into San are working together on a coherent campaign scheme the policy of se- crecy has been extended to Belgium, and as a fountain of picturesque news that country has suddenly drjed up. ‘The allied armies have decided for the present to bar all war correspon- dents from accompanying the armies, but it is thought the ban may be raised later when the military opera- tions are well under way. The official news bureau says not a single casualty occurred during the embarkation, transportation and de- barkation of the men and stores of the British expeditionary force, and everything was carried through with the greatest precision. Official Press Bureau Issues Statement London, Aug 17, (Midnight.)— Frederick E. Smith, the unionist mem- ter of parliament who is acting as director of the official press bureau of the British war office and admiralty, issued the following statement to the BEnglish newspapers tonight: “Field Marshal Ear! Kitchener wishes me to add that he and the ccuntry are under the greatest obli- gations to the British press for the loyalty with which all reference to the movements of the British expe- ditionary force and their landing on the continent had been suppressed. “Earl Kitchener is well aware that ruch anxiety must have been caused to the English press by the kpow- ledge that these matters were being freely discussed .in the continental press, and he wishes to assure the press of this country that nothing but his conviction of the military impor- tance to this country of suppressing these movements would have led him to issue instructions which placed the press of this country under a tem- porary disadvantage.” London, Aug 18, 12:30 a. m.—Mr. Smith’s statement continues: “Field Marshal Sir John French arrived in Paris shortly after mid- night on Saturday to convey the salu- tations of the British nation to France. The commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary army was vielcomed by several ~distinguished officers of the French general staff, the British ambassador in Paris and a number of French cabinet ministers, “As Sir John French, dressed in his khaki uniform, stepped from the train in the French capital a roar of cheer- lug for England and France rose from the great crowd which had assembled, and the people then sang the national anthems of the two countries. “Sir John French drove to the British embass¥, and his motor car (Contitnued on Eleventh Page.) 5\R JOHN D.

From FEENCH e Paris General French-is expected to leave for the French general head- quarters to join General Joseph Jof- fre, the French commander. The location of the French headquarters has not been revealed. German-American Alliance Appeals to United States Washington, - Aug. 18.—An appeal : that the government of the United States plead with Japan to refrain from carrying the European war into the far east was received by President Wilson today from the National Ger- man-American Alliance. The presi- dent was thanked for his offer of me- diation to the warring nations of Eu- rope. “We now appeal to the president and to congress,” sald the petition, “to plead with the government of Japan through her ambassador at ‘Washington in the name of humanity, civilization and universal peace to re- frain from carrying the war into the far east by demanding that Germany abandon all her political and com- mercial interests in China. “Instead of throwing the fire brand of war into the far east, Japan should be fair and submit any griev- ances she has against Germany or against any other nation to The Hague peace tribunal, where, no doubt, other questions of the present conflict will be submitted.” The petition was signed by C. J. Hexamer, President of the National German-American Alljance. Japan’s Ultimatum to Germany delivered Washington, Aug. 18.—Japan's ul- timatum td Germany to withdraw from Kiao-Chau has been delivered to the foreign office in Berlin through Copenhagen. WEATHER. Hartford, Aug. 18.—~Un- settled tonight and Wednes- day; probably thunder show- ers. e Bryan Is Silent on Japanese Ultimatum Washington, Aug. 18.—Secretary Bryan refused today to discuss the Japanese ultimatum with Haniel Haimhausen, the German charge, the latter stated, the secretary saying he wished to remain absolutely neutral in the whole affair. The United States had received no representations from the German gov- ernment, so far as Mr. Haimhausen could say. i Japan Places Order for Bales of Cotton St, Louis, Aug, 18.—A report that Japan had placed an order for two million bales of cotton with various dealers in the south was made public here last night by J. R. Curlee, secre- tary of a large mercantile establish- ment of St. Louis. According to Mr. Curlee a repre- sentative of the Japanese Trading company declared that Japan hopes to supply the Chinese demand for fin- ished cotton goods, a large part of which trade is now being carried on by German interests, Americans Desix:ous for Return to United States ‘Washington, Aug. 18.—Ambassador Gerard at Berlin informed the state department today that of 10,000 Americans in Germany, between 8,000 and 9,000 desire to return at once to the United States. Minister Stovall at Berne, Switzer- land, reported arrangements had been made for cashing of checks drawn on the order of Secretary Bryan. for the September term of the superior court on the serfous charge | of forgery. The wheels of destiny have revolved backward for Hedberg and although he was once well fixed, | financially, it is sald that he is now down and out. The accused man hung his head in court this morning and pleaded guilty to the two charges lodged against him. The specific charges against Hed- berg are that on May 11, 1914, he forged a promissory note on Carlson & Torrell for $200 and endorsed it with the name of P. Hedberg & Son. This note was payable in three months. The second charge against the one time painter is that on June 3, he forged another note, this one on J. August Carlson, for $100, pay- able in two months. He again en- dorsed the paper with the name of P. Hedberg & Son. Both notes were discounted by the New Britain Trust company and resulted in the investi- gation which ended with the arrest of Hedberg by Sergeant Kelly last night. Treasurer Vibberts, of the Trust company, identified the notes in court. When asked if he wanted to make a statement Hedberg simply said: “All T have to say is that I did all T am charged with.” Judge Mes- kill found probable cause and bound him over to the superior court in bonds of $1,000. Hedberg was formerly a well-to-do painter but a succession of financial reverses and liberal draughts of the liquid that befuddles as well as cheers are the cause of his downfall. Today, it is said, it has developed that Mr. Hedberg has been making a practise during the past few months of forging notes. Last week Charles M. Hultgren, of 'Arch street, was notified by the. New Britain Trust company that one of his notes had been protested. He recalled signing no note so in company with Attorney Emil J. Danberg he visited the bank and found that one of his notes for $150 had been cleverly forged. Close inspection however, showed that the signatures was not those of Mr. Hultgren. Later Mr. Hedberg, it is said, admitted his guilt and began to pay up the amount and at the time of his arrest had already pald back $60.
