GERMANS ARE STRICT
IN CONQUERED CITY
LONDON. Oct. 13. "The. municipal
employe of Antwerp have to wear al
legiance to the German empire." ay
the Evening New correspondent at
Gericen-on-Zoon, Holland, In a dtipatrh
dated Monday. The mesaaie con
tinue: "The policemen were allowed to re
tain their arm. The police have been
ordered to remove the Belgian flag
from all house. The usual regula
tion enforced at LWge. Vervter nd
other Belgian town are being Intro
duced In Antwerp. Tbee rule In
clude the obligation to light the
houses at night and leave the door
ODen. The Imuerlal standard must be
saluted when the army Is passing
through the streeta and soldiers have
been aeen to strike oft wltn tnetr sa
bers the hat of person who did not
give tuch a salute.
"Already thousand of fugitives are
returning to Antwerp and shop are
slowly reopening. Many more thous
ands, however, are hesitating, appre
hensive that the Germans present
friendly conduct may change later on.
"The town also has been ordered to
supply all requisitioned wares free.
For Instance, two tons of potatoes were
to be provided today. All bakers,
butchers, grocers and provision deal
ers not reopening their shops within
five days are threatened with stringent
measures.
"The Germans say that there are
125.000 of their men in Antwerp, but
this figure seems to be exaggerated.
Several thousand of the landwehr
troops and marines probably will re
main as a garrison.
"Negotiations for the surrender of
the city last Friday threatened to col
lapse, for the Germans insisted on hav
ing the signature of the Ilelglun com
mander, General De GulBe. They
eventually accepted that of another of
ficer, M. Weerbrouck.
11. S. CITIZENS MAY
SELL WAR SUPPLIES
PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS DO NOT
VIOLATE NEUTRALITY,
STATES OFFICIAL
3000 LOSE LIVES IN

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14 Commer
cial transactions between the belliger
ent governments of Europe and private
citizen of the I'niled Stulea In no way
affect the neutrality of tbla country,
even If arma and ammunition are In
volved, according to a statement Is
sued today by Kobert Lansing, acting
errutary of state.
Mr. tanning says that he was prompt
ed to make the itatemeut by numer
ous lnciulrtea and cotuplalnta. Indicat
ing a widespread Imprecalon tbal Am
erican business men cannot sell war
supplies to the belligerent without
committing an un-neutral act
"In the first place," the statement
add, "It should be understood that,
generally speaking, a citizen of the
I'nited States can sell to a belligerent
government or agent any article of
commerce which he pleases. He Is not
prohibited from doing this by any rule
of International law, by any treaty pro
vision, or by any statute of the Lnltd
States. It makes no difference wheth
er the articles sold are exclusively for
war purposes, such as firearms and
explosives, or are foodstuffs, clothing,
horses, etc., for the use of the army
or navy of the belligerent
'A neutral government Is not com
pelled by international law, treaty or
statute to prevent those sales to a bel
ligerent. Such sales, therefore, by
American citizens do not In any way
affect the neutrality of the United
States.
"It Is true that such articles as thoBe
mentioned are considered contrnbrand
and are, outside the territorial Juris
diction of a neutral nation, subject to
seizure by the enemy of a purchasing
government, but it is the enemy's duty
to prevent the articles from reaching
their destination not the duty of tho
nation whoso citizens have sold them."
