THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAXD, AUGUST 30, 1914 4 GERMANS PROTECT HARBOR WITH MINES Work of Protecting Harbor of Tsing-Tau Goes On Under Japanese Eyes. LAND SIDE IS PROTECTED Defenders of Kiau-Chau Declare Every Day They Work Adda Ability to Kill Additional Thousand of Enemy. TSING-TAU, KIAU CHAU, Aug. 29. 1. Noon. One of the forts threw a shell across the entrance of the bay yesterday at a small party of Japanese or Chinese that had landed on Cape Jaeschke. The landing party departed immediately. Its missioi, was not known. Six Japanese warships may be seen every day from the Tsing-Tau forti fications, cruising back and forth be yond the range of the German guns. Only men clad In khaki are permltited to show themselves on the fortifica tions. White clothing is barred because it is conspicuous. The Germans are continuing with en ergy their preparations against attack by land. Mines are being placed and provided with electrical connections and guns are being brought into posi tion. The Germans assert that every day allowed them for preparation means that they will be able to inflict casualties on the Japanese of not less than 1000 men. PEKIN, Aug. 29, 12 Noon. After an Inquiry at Tsing-Tau, the German Le gation denies that the German torpedo-boat-destroyer "S-90" has been sunk. The Japanese Legation here expects that a Japanese landing outside of Kiau-Chau will be made in a few days. A dispatch from Che-Foo, China, last night said the British torpedo-boat-destroyer Welland had engaged and sunk the "S-90." AMERICAN" OWNER PROTESTS Hanamet, Siezed by British, Said to Be Free of Contraband. SHANGHAI, Aug. 29 William Kate, of Shanghai, owner of the American steamer Hanamet, which was seized as a prize of war by a British torpedo boat, has appealed to the American Consul, W. R. Peck, for indemnifica tion. The steamer was bound from this port for Tsing-Tau to remove non combatants and the owner declares it carried no contraband. He explains that she was manned by Germans for the reason that the chan nel of Tsing-Tau was mined and the former British crew waa not permit ted to sail her. A precautionary in spection made by the British authori ties at Shanghai before the Hanamet sailed resulted in her captain's receiv ing a certificate that she carried no cargo. CHIXA GUARDS XHX TRALTTY Action of Soldiers, However, Be lieved to Be Mistake. PEKIX, Aug. 29. (Special.) It is re ported that the Japanese tried to land troups at different points on the' Shan Tung coast, but that the Chinese pre. vented it, insisting that it would be a breach of neutrality. Not wishing to bring about complications with China, the Japanese did not land, but decided to await instructions from the home government Chinese troops occupy Weih-Sien and other places north of Tsing-Tau and detachments guard the Shan-Tung rail way. German munitions and supplies are being carried over the Chinese rail roads in the direction of Tsing-Tau. and German reservists still are going Into the leased territory. China's action Is believed to be a mis take, owing to the fact that the local authorities have no instructions not to interfere with the Japanese. It is not believable that China would i attempt to hold back the Japanese, as it is In no position to enforce strict neutrality. The Japanese withdrawal for the time being is looked upon here as indicating a sincere desire not to have any con flict with China. BENEFIT OF WAR DENIED Educator Says Europe's Losses Will Be Felt Throughout World. OAKLAND. Cal., Aug. 29. America may benefit temporarily by the Euro pean war, but there will be no perma nent advantage to us, in the opinion of Dr. I. W. Howerth, professor of ed ucation at the University of California. In a lecture. Dr. Howerth said: . "The contention that the withdrawal from productive industry of almost 20.000,000 of men abroad and a de struction of foreign wealth and life which no man can estimate, is to be a special advantage to the United States is an obvious absurdity. Tou may rest assured that in the long run the losses sustained in Europe will be felt throughout the entire world. "The expense of this war will be sustained not only by Europe, but by America as well, and civilization here, as well as there, will be Injured and delayed." . WIRELESS IS NOT HALTED Manager of Aerial Here Says Cen sorship Is Only Watchful. "Our service is not disabled by the censorship of the wireless business due to the European war. as has been ap parently supposed. " said Portland Man ager Gould, of the Federal Telegraph Company, last night. "The news that a censorship had baen established gave a number of persons the wrong Im pression. "Our service is affected only to four points south, namely Phoenix, Los An geles. San Diego and Honolulu. In these cases the censorship only makes necessary a translation of code mes sages for the censor at San Francisco. Our other points are not concerned. There seems to have been an impres lon that commercial wireless business was halted, but this is not the case." Illegal Hunters Sought. HUSUM. Wash.. Aug. 29. (Special.)

AMOUNT BASED ON PAST Cost of Battlefield Materials Having Increased, Death Toll Advances Accordingly and Disease, Too, Helps to Swell the Total. CHICAGO, Aug. 29. (Special.) What does It cost to kill a man in war? Probably $25,000 in the present conflict. In the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 71 the cost of killing every man was $21,000. But the cost of every material of warfare has advanced substantially since then. It is safe to estimate un less the terrific destruction of machine guns upsets precedent that to bring about a soldier's death will cause an expenditure of $25,000 on the other side. France spent $400,000,000 in actual expenses in the Franco-Prussian war and $200,000,000 in repairing materials, giving help to fatherless families and other uses. The German dead numbered 28,600. For every one of them France spent approximately $21,000. The figures of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 gave an average of $15,000 for every one killed. It cost Russia $1,200,000,000 to kill 58,600 Japanese in the war of 1905, making the cost of the individual slay ing $20,400. Fatigue, typhus or cholera will, of course, kill the greatest number and reduce the effective force of the ar mies. In the Crimean War four times as many died through disease as were killed In battle. Advanced hygiene undoubtedly will do much to cut down these figures, but death by disease in war times surely, cannot be entirely obliterated. Francis Joseph's Health Good. VIENNA. Austria, Aug. 29.

Von Bernstorff Says Nations That Em ploy Africans and Orientals Should Not Accuse. j NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, who returned here from Washington last night. Issued the following state ment today in reference to the alleged atrocities of the German army: "The campaign of our enemies charg ing the German army with cruelty is absolutely shameful. The traditions of the German army are above all attacks in this respect. Nobody can regret more than I do if women and children have been killed during the fighting. This is, however, unavoidable if the civilian population of a country join in the fighting, as is the case in Belgium, where German soldiers have been shot in the back, where German wounded have been mutilated and doc tors and nurses shot at. "It is absolutely unjustifiable to sup pose that Zeppelin bombs were thrown against anything else but forts. Women and children should not remain in be sieged fortresses. Not the slightest harm was done to anybody in the open city of Brussels, while on the first day of the war French aeroplanes bom barded the open city of Nuremburg. "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 les sons on methods of European warfare, after having called Oriental races into the struggle and after having sent col ored African and Indian troops to France to fight their battles for them." Count von Bernstorff satd he bad re ceived no confirmation from his gov ernment of the destruction of German cruisers in the North Sea by the Brit ish fleet.

SLEEPING CITY ATTACKED Several Persons Killed in Their Beds by Zeppelin That Deals Wide De struction Royalty Believed Object of Air Fire. BY E. ALEXANDER POWELL. Bv Cable to the Chicago Tribune.) ANTWERP, Aug. 25. At 1 o'clock this morning death came to Antwerp out of the air. My room in Hotel St. Antoine is on the upper floor over looking staff headquarters. I had just extinguished the light when a curious humming in the air. like a million bumblebees, drew me to the window. A thousand feet above Hovered an indistinct mass, which resolved itself into asgigantic black siga silhouetted against the purple sky. It was a Ger man dirigible. It sounded when it came closer like an automobile with the muffler open. As I looked something resembling a falling star curved across the Inky sky with a swish like a rocket, and an ln 'stant later came a rending, shattering crash which shook the hotel to its foundations. Only then did I realize that death was being rained upon the sleeping city from the sky. Building" Seen JJemollshrd. The first projectile completely de molished a building 200 yards from my window. Thirty seconds later came another splitting roar, and then an other and another, 10 in UL Accompanied by four Cabinet Min isters and five heads of legations, all in pajamas, 1 ascended to the hotel roof. Belgian high angle and machine guns now were -stabbing the darkness with spurts of flame and the musketry was deafening, but was unable to hit the Zeppelin, which disappeared in the upper darkness. The destruction caused by the pro jectiles was Incredible in extent and horror. Captain William, of the United States Coast Artillery, here with money from the cruiser Tennessee, reports the projectiles used were some form of shrapnel loaded with a terrible new explosive fired from a gun. Citizens Killed in Beda. One shell struck in the middle of the public weighing square, which is about the same size as Gramercy Park in New York. A policeman In the square was blown to pieces. Six persons sleeping in adjacent houses were killed in their beds. Every building facing the square was parly or completely de molished and every house in tne radius of a block was riddled like a sieve. Another shell burst on the roof or a physician's house in the Rue Escri mer. killing two maids who were usleep upstairs. A shell fell in a garden on the Rue du Barry, terribly wounding a man and his wife. Another shell fell on the barracks of the Rue Falcon, killing one and wounding two. For tunately, the regiment had just left A child was mangled in a fashionable residence on the Rue Justice. Steel Gaten Are Riddled. The quarter-inch steel gates of the Rue Lausanne were perforated like cardboard. The authorities are convinced that a deliberate attempt was made to kill the royal family, the general staff and the Cabinet, and to destroy hospi tals, banks and the barracks. The ac curacy of the bombs suggests that the Germans had confederates displaying signals In the city. Altogether 10 persons were killed, including six women, and probably 30 persons were wounded. All Americans are safe. The population is in a highly nervous condition. RELIEF REQUESTS GROW Red Cross Increases Corps to Be Sent to Europe. WASHlUGrTON, Aug. !.
