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."

DEAD WOO EACH s
Every Life Lost in War Is Fig
ured at Great Value.
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.

LONDON. Aug. 29. Among the ar

Koenigsberg two weeks ago. He said
that when war was declared the Ger

Russians resided and rounded up a

The Russians were taken to the pal

CRUELTY SHAMEFUL.
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.

This was the phrase used by a British

discuss the battle.
"We have been pledged." he said,
"not to recount even our own personal

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.

The first projectile completely de

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

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.
