GERMAN SOCIALSTS UPHOLD ASER Party Fears “Russian Despotism”- Emperor Galled Prince of Peace. New York, Aug. 29.—German social dsmocrauc newspapers arriving here yésterday declare the socialist party and those who call themselves social democrats are fighting against ‘“‘Rus- slan despotism” and that the fear of the czar of Russia has rallied them laround the kaiser against the rest of Burope. Interesting sidelights on the socialist attitude toward the war are shown. One paper speaks of the kaiser as “a prince of peace,” saying “he has shown himself the protector of aniversal tranquility.’ The Vorwaerts, the chief organ of the social democrats in Berlin, says: Always Open Enemies. ‘“We were always open enemies of the monarchic form of government, and we always will be. We were often obliged to conduct a bitter opposition to the temperamental wearer of the crotvn. But we have to acknowledge today that William II. has shown himself the friend of universal peace.” At a mass meeting of social demo- erats N. Feuerstein, a socialist leader in the Reichstag, said, according to Die Vossische Zeitung: Germany Peace Loving. _“We all are convinced that German government is peace loving and desires nothing better than to up- fhold the peace. But in the case of the Present war it is the duty of every Social democrat called to arms to do Yis best fighting beside his fellow eountrymen, especially when opera- tions are directed against Russia, whose absolute despotism constitutes ,menace and danger to civilized Eu- rope.” Y Endangered By Russia. Die Volkstimme, socialist newspa- per of Chemnitz, publishes under the title “War in Our Country,” an article in which it urges all comrades to “set aside aims and purposes of their party and to have just one fact in mind: that Germany and in a larger sense all Europe is endangered -by Russian despotism.” ©3In this moment,” the article con- tinues, “we all feel the duty to fight chiefly and exclusively against Rus- “sian despotism. Germany’s women and children must not become the prey of Russian bestiality; the Ger- man country not the spoil of Cos- sacks; because if the allies should be victorious not an English governor ‘or a_French republican would rule ovgr Germany, but the Russian cgar. Therefore we must defend at this moment everything that means German culture and German liberty against a merciless and barbaric ene- Oppose Russian Czarism. "'One day before the war began the social democratic member of the Reichstag Kolb” said in the Volke- freund, the party organ of Karls- e: - H?"If the Russian government should really be senseless enough to force against all common sense, rea- son and humanity this European war every social democrat will be ex- pected to do his duty toward his fa- therland, culture and humanity. It will be the last thing that social dem- ocracy could, endure to have Russian czarism act as political arbiter o Europe.” The above excerpts, translated by the Chamber of German-American Commerce for the New York Sun, show to what extent the German so- cialists are willing to go to prevent thes defeat of the German arms. \ NEW BRITAIN REPRESENTED, National Currency Association Connecticut Re-organized. .- New Haven, Aug. 29.—The National .

Do Unless the city co-operates the farmers of the vicinity who were instrumental jn having a space on East Main street set aside each morn- ing as a public wholesale market, and prohibits other farmers and middle- men from meeting on other streets and exchanging their vegetables without recognizing the new institu- tion, the market will fail in a short time, according to a statement which one of the prime movers for the New Britain Market Gardeners’ association told a Herald man today. Those farmers who now reach the public stand at the opening hour, 6 o’clock, are too late to dispose of their entire loads, because the mia- dlemen of the city have already pur- chased from farmers who meet them when they are on their way to the market. It is understood that some of the vegetable raisers will complain to the mayor. HENRY BACK WITH P1RATES. Former Brown University Pitcher ‘Will Have Real Tryout.

London, Aug. 29, 2:40 p. m.—The correspondent of the Telegraph at Arras, capital of the department of Pas-De-Calals, sends under date of August 27 an account of the fighting in the vicinity of Cambrai. He says: “Cambrai was occupied yesterday by the Germans despite the efforts of the English. The defence of the frontier from Lille to Valenciennes was until twelve hours ago entrusted to the British, who did all in their power to halt the advance of the enemy, but conditions were unfavor- able. much the Most Highly Trained. “The force opposed was one of the most highly trained and best equipped in the world, consisting of a cavalry division supported by a battalion of infantry with artillery and machine guns, So rapid and audacious are its movements that in four days has appeared at almost every point along the road from Lille to Cambrai. “The British were without artillery or machine guns, but they had orders | to hold Cambrai at all costs. Heaven knows they tried. They fought for three hours desperately and then were compelled to fall back on Arras. Ranks Were Decimated. “I met them retreating slowly be- fore a body of cavalry with machine guns, which decimated their ranks. The regiment was conducted skillfully and coolly and with the assistance of Belgian troops who came up in the nick of time. “There is now a sufficient force to oppose any further attack on Arras and Bethune, twenty miles northwest, | . but it is unlikely that for strategic | league baters according purposes some further portions of this | northwest territory must be aban- doned. People Much Alarmed. “The people of the entire vicinity are much alarmed and many are flee- ing at every rumor of the enemy’s ap- proach. The panic and stampede of the civilians is the cause of much con- fusion and hampers the military op- erations.” BETTER SIGNAL LIGHTS, 1 Head of Signal Light Factory Confers | | With State Officials, i Westport, Conn., Aug. 29.—Coroner John J.

New York, Aug. 20.—Count Von Lernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, who returned here from Washington last night issued the fullowing statement today in reference to alleged atrocities of the German army. “The campaign of charging the German army with cruelty is absolutely shameful. The traditions of the Germany army are above all attacks in this respect. No- body can regret more than I do if wromen and children have been killed during the fighting. This is, however, unavoidable if the civilian population of a country joins in the fighting as is the case in Belgium where German soldiers have been shot in the back, where German wounded have been mautilated and doctors and nurses shot at. our enemies Only Attacked Fortifications, “It is absolutely unjustifiable to sup- pose that Zeppelin bombs were thrown against anything else but fortifications. Jomen and children should not re- main in besieged fortresses. Not the slightest harm was done to anybody in the open city of Brussels, whilst on tbe first day of the war French aero- planes bombarded the open city of | Nuernberg. “It is inconceivable that any of the powers who have joined the coalition formed solely for the purpose of at- tacking us should desire to give us lessons on methods of European war- fare after having called oriental races ilito the struggle and after having sent colored African and Indian troop§ to France to fight th battles for them, No Great Naval Battle.
