NELSON'S SUBMARINE “UPTO EXPECTATIONS Wnventors Wil Form Stok Com:- pany With Cepital of $50,000 Aaron G. Cohen, who, with Nels Nelson, the aviator, has constructed | a suBmarine boat, returned to New Britain today from Saybrook, where the craft was given a trial yesterday, and announced that it lived up to all cxpectations and that only a few minor changes would be necessary be- fore the boat is prepared for active | service, Several tests were made, Cohen and Nelson taking turns in going below jthe=surface. They found the waters off Saybrook a very unsatisfactory | testing ground because of the sedi nent. Even with the aid of a power- ful electric search light they were un- able to see more than twenty feet ahead. So pleased are they with their in- vention that within a short time they will_organize the Submarine Explor- | ing and Recovering company. Mr. Cohen said today that they would probably capitalize for $50,000. With the aid of the boat, they ex- pect to be able to explore the seas at depths never before attained and to sweep the ocean beds for lost treas- ures and pearls. They will be able to reach pearls that nature has cached for centuries and which have never been disturbed because no mechanical contrivance has previously been in- ventgd. The boat is only eighteen feet in length and is cigar shaped. It can be slung on davits on a larger | toat and carried to whichever spot the inventors fancy. Under water it is propelled by its own power and can rawl along the ocean bed as the operator desires. It is equipped with electric lights by means of storage batjeries and the operator can con- wense with those in the boat on the surface by means of a telephone. An ! engine on the upper boat feeds air to that under the waves and the opera- tor can remain below as long as he chooses. . Mr. Nelson is expected to arrive Pome from Saybrook tonight.

Washington, Aug. 28.—Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, conferred with Secretary Bryan today on the censorship at German-owned wireless stations, Secretary Bryan saijd afterward that the question still ‘was unsettled. The ambassador, touching on the question of anti-German sentiment, said he felt the American people must realize that delayed and censored messages from Berlin have brought the truth, and that many reports from London have been disapproved. Fair- ness, the ambassador said he lbelieved, would result in an unprejudiced view. Fighting on the Russian border, the ambassador said, had merely been clashes of outposts. The country is open and unfortified, he explained; the towns reported captured by Rus- sians are undefended and unimpor- tant points, No Russian dispatches, the count declared, had mentioned engagements with more than one of the Prussian army corps. Refutes Violation Charges. In reply to the charges of the al- lies of violation of the rules of war- fare by Germany, the ambassador said that a French aeroplane flew over neutral Belgium on the first day of the declaration of war and before German soldiers had crossed the border, bent on destroying the Rhime bridges; flew as far as Coblenz and dropped several bombs into the city. In defense of the action of the Zep- pelin airship in dropping bombs into Arntwerp, Count Von Bernstorff de- clared that in Germany the presence of women and children in a fortress such as the city of Antwerp was not rermitted. Attack upon a fortress in modern warfare, he pointed out, may be carried on from the air as well as from the siege guns. Matter of Secrecy. ‘When the count was shown today’s news despatches from Berlin, in which the various generals in command of the westward advancing German armies were named, he listened with great interest. “This is the first time,” he said, “that I have heard it stated where our generals are.” The names of the commanders as well as the regiments engaged have been kept secret, even from the highest officials in the Empire. Silent Regarding Future. The ambassador said he would not discuss the future and he did not take up the diplomatic side of the Euro- pean struggle. Before he entered the diplomatic ante-room he inquired of & messenger if other diplomats were present. The messenger answered that the minister from Santo Domingo was waiting. “Well, we are not at war with him.” the ambassador remarked, “I can go in.

SPELLACY Governor States That He Believes in Giving the Republicans Repre- sentation on Commissions, New Haven, Aug. 28.—Governor Baldwin today makes this statement in reply to Former Senator Spellacy's characterization of him as a “tory and reactionary.” “When I accepted the nomination for governor four years ago I at- tacked the republican method of con- ducting our state government by ap- pointing only republicans to office. I thought it was rather hoggish, and democrats seemed to agree with me pretty generally, “When I was elected I surprised, apparently, some of my political sup- porters by following a different plan. Instead of that which I denounced on the stump, I gave a reasonable share of representation to republicans and in every case I reappointed re- publicans who had made excellent of- ficers. “In constituting our commissions where there were several members I gave the republicans a show. This was so even in regard to one import- ant office, which Senator Spellacy wanted himself. Some months ago Mr. Spellacy came out in the Hart- ford Times in a warm letter attack- ing this policy of mine in regard to minority representation. He and I differ radically in our views as to the wisdom and fairness of such methods of appointment. Nevertheless, since the letter, as before, I have adhered to the policy that seemed to me fair.” FRANCE PROTESTS TO NEUTRAL COUNTRIES Submits Sworn Statement That Ger- 7.45 GIVES YOU CHOICE Of the Balance of our Spring and Summer Stock of Women’s - uits and Coats Not a Garment Reserved SOME SILK COATS in the lot that were marked as high as $27.50. man Officer Killed Two Red Cross Nurses, - Washington, Aug, 28.—France has submitted to the United States and other neutral governments a sworn statement that after an engagement at Moncel, a German officer en- countered three Red Cross nurses, killing two and wounding the third.

There is universal testimony that, gun for gun, both the English and French are superior to the Germans. “The allies’ shells burst without | fail. The German gunners find the range smartly, but their shells fre- quently fail to burst and not infre- quently miscarry and fall short. The sheer weight of their massed batteries carried them forward. “Their infantry also advanced in close order and offered a magnificent mark. Their losses beyond question are greater than those of the allies but so, unfortunately, were their numbers. They came and came again, All Sunday the English held their ground. On Monday morning came the order to retire.” LUTHER LEAGUE DELEGATES. Lutheran Church Society to be Repre- sented at District Convention.
