which tied up at her Brooklvn flock today, their experiences had not been or a startling nature, and they had little to tell that had not been told already. Among them was a Brooklyn lawyer, Charles Leeman, of 249 Nine- cy-nrtn street, who saw Kaiser Wil-helm In Sogn, Norway, Just before war was declared. The Kaiser hri gone there to attend naval maneuvers in wnicn more than a score of German war vessels took part. While he was In Norway he received a communication which caused him to leave so suddenly that he had no time to pay his bills. A year ago the Kaiser presented a great statue of peace to the people "A great deal of nonsense has been written about conditions In aermany," said Mr.

Leeman. "I have two hrnth. ers there who have kept me posted by letter. They say that prices of food- siura nave risen. They also Inform me that the cill for reservists was answered so spontaneously that 1,200,000 men were soon ready to go to war.

There were so many volunteers that thousands were sent back after they were told that they would nol be needed." "Many of the stories which have been published here about the actions of the Germans were made out of whole cloth." continued Mr. Leeman. "l'cr Instance, there is ths story of th. Socialists who were shot down In Berlin. Nothing of the sort ever Imii- pened." Ilrooklynltes iost Nell Iter Money Xor Rugaage.

Most of the Brooklvn nussencera nn the boat had been Just outside of the tone of real excitement. Muny of them had not even set foot on the ontinent. They scon Norway's momnzatlon and the rush of German reservists for the front and they had heard of stories of distress, but had come home without loss of either money or baggage. Among the cabin passengers were several members of the Norwegian Singing Society of Brooklyn, who went over In June tn attend a singing festival In Norway. iney reponea naving naa an uneventful trip.

William Curtin of Pennsvlvsnin mn or lormer uovernor Curtin. and F. Patterson of Philadelphia, were two or a large party which had Journeyed through Russia. Thev went to Fin. land from St.

Petersburg and reached Sweden in that way, after which they went to Norway. Mr. Curtin refused to talk, but Mr. Putterson said that tne party nad run into nothins exclt lng on the trip. Thev saw the mem.

bers of the German Embassy leave St. Petersburg and say they were courteously treated. "The Russians did smash the win dows of the German Embassy." said Mr. Patterson, "but that was not until they nad heard report that the Una. slan Dowager Empress had been badly treated In Berlin.

I think the Hus sions treated theGermans with marked consideration." Klvlnd Krlchsen of Manhattan, who came back with his wife, had a story of a Russian woman who had rltlilen through Norway on horseback and had been hospitably received everywhere.

Alexander Von Nubar. the Austrian Consul General to New York City, expressed great dissatisfaction with the attitude of the press and th people generally In this country toward the big wsr. "It was nil started by Ih Inlilgulng of Hiiasls," he said, "and the position of Gernmny and Austria Is that ef two nations fighting for tltelr very existence.

The steamer Kroonland of the Red Star Line arrived at New York yesterday afternoon, from Liverpool, bringing back from Europe some 400 Amer- lean refugees, among whom there were thirteen Brooklynites.

During the first half of the voyage the liner en countered very heavy seas, followed later by dense fogs. The Brooklynites who returned on the Kroonland are: Mrs. Clara Whiting, 88 Fenlmore street. Mrs. Caroline Lawrence and her daughter, Antoinette, 25 McDonough street.

W. W. Davis, Great Neck, L. I. H.

Gordon Chasseaud, who has been with a London bank for the last eighteen months, gave it as his opinion that England had been expecting war for some time. Jaspar B. Chasseaud and his son made a trip through the Rhine region of Germany a few weks before the war. Among the Germans, according to the younger Mr. Chasseaud, there seemed to have been no expectation of trouble at that time.

and everything was generally quiet. Mrs. Edwards, who was traveling with Caroline Doty of Fanwood, N. was in Germany when war was de clared. She stated that on the day before the official declaration, the head of a bank in Munich had assured her that there would be no war.

"We were In Nurenberg when tha news came," said Mrs. Edwards, "and were pretty badly scared when the proprietor of our hotel advised us to get out of the country as soon as pos sible. We accordingly registered through to London, and got on an outward bound train. When we arrived at Cleve on the Dutch frontier, however, we were ordered off the train In the middle of the night, and were forced to put up at a smal hotel for' the night; but later we managed to get, away by trolley and to proceed by rail to Hook of Holland, where we took one of the three special boats which had been placed in service between that port and England, where we arrived without money. We had planned to sail for home on the Arabia, but were fortunately able to secure accom-' modations on the Kroonland.

"The Germans treated us very courteously and kindly, and '(innaxrt" throughout all our travels we were always aocorded the greatest respect and consmeration. Mm. Edwards had witnessed the" mobilization of German troops, In answer to a call for all men under 60 years of age. She spoke very highly of the kindness shown herself and Miss Doty, as well as all other Americans, by the management of the British hotels, which permitted them to live "on tick" for indefinite perloos. miss Hazel La Forge and Miss Ethel Bellows, who had planned to make a visit to the continent, were forced to remain In London for five weeks before they could return wnen asked if she had exDerlenced any difficulty In obtaining cash.

Miss la rorge replied: "No. we had to stand on lino for long stretches at a time, with great crowds of other peo ple, nui we got an ine money we needed. In fact we were even able to lend a little to others who were not so fortunate as ourselves." One Brooklvn woman, who ren nest ed that her name be withheld from publication, told of how she had lived in Parts for two weeks on $2.40. Upon ncr arrival nere yesteraay, sne had In her poesslon exactly 1 shilling, a sixpence and two "ha" pennies. She was asked how she managed to exist on so small a sum, she replied: "1 uven in tne 'Grubby Latin Quar where.

In the morning, I could get a roll for a penny and a cup of ondVe for 30 centimes, about cents. This would be my breakfast. I had lost the habit of eating In the middle of the day, and at night I would have another meul of about the same slse. Fruit waa very hlh In Paris, and this was my chief difficulty. Though I lost 10 pounds In weight In two weeks, I managed to live through it without any serious discomfort." Few of the Brooklynites who were on board the Kroonland had been on the continent, and their greatest difficulties consisted In a temporary Inability to obtain funds.

All, however, were glad to get home. CongrcssmKn K. Underbill, of the Thirty-seventh District of New York, anil Vance Thompson the author wers also abnard the Kroonland. The latter told of having personally witnessed German soldiers strip and search two English women on their way to London, between Stuttgart and Basle, which procedure, he said, was repeated at practically every railroad on tho line.

The steamship Rotterdam of the Holland-American line, out from Rot terdam on August 29 and In port to day, broke records In two interesting respects. She brought the largest number of Brooklyn refugees from the war zones of Europe that has as yet come In on any ship, and carried the largest number of cabin passengers that has ever arrived in this country on one vessel. The Rotterdam brought 2.369 passengers, Including 63 Brooklynites. There were 1,386 In the first cabin, 708 In the second, and 275 In the third.

There were 8,008 aboard counting the crew nf 639 men. Thirteen well known Brooklynites, Including Professor Henry Kllngenfeld. came In the steerage. Many of the steerage passengers slept on deck when opportunity afforded. Captain Btenger reported that he had been hold up twice by English and French cruisers, once In the English Chanel off the Downs and again when near the Scllly Islands.

The first time the captain was warned by the English to cease using his wireless, be cause It Interfered with communica tions betwen the war craft, and the cecond time he was allowed to proceed after English officers had conversed nill. Among prominent Brooklynites re turning with Interesting stories of their experiences were Professor Frank A. Erwin of the law department of New York University and Mrs. Erwln. who were eighteen hours without rood In the course nf a Journey replete with trying experiences between Geneva, Switzerland, and Paris.

Professor and Mra Erwln sailed from New York on June 13 by the George Washington, going direct to Bremen, "After visiting the Rhine country In Germany we proceeneti to Bwltr.er land." said Professor Erwln. "We were caught at Montreux when the war began. Preceding to Geneva, we tried to get a train to Paris.

The last one, however, had gone. An American committee tried to make ar rangements for a special train but failed. After waiting for some days and seeing no chance of traveling In anything resembling fair accommodation, we determined to start anvhow and fight our way. We were IS hours making the Journey to Paris, by way of DIJon. During II hours of his lime we werj without food or drink We sat on the platform of tha alaiinn at Dijon from ocl.uk at night until I o'clock In the morning Defurri catching a train for the continuation of our Journey, we wore miliary, and I as sure you we were not In the moat cheerful frame of mind.

Th. lest their trunks shortly after the mobilisation fcjweep through Belgium and the plains at Northern France, with constant laichins- on the west to turn the left flank of the Allies, was understandable find foreseen, even though the Allies refused to believe the Germans coum move so far and so fast Yesterday's bulletins stating that the main German army of invasion from the north was turning from Pails and driving toward the south and east ap neared to be confirmed and a theory that finds supporters Is that the German purpose is now to strike through ttie center of the French army, leaving ijsris partially invested from the north and crush the main French force by co-oneratlon with another German army advancing from Lorraine.

The news that the Germans are at tacking the fortress of Nancy and that Emperor William with his staff are attending the operations, tends to for tify this theory, The British War Office made public yesterday a more complete account of -the operations of the British army 1 than it had given heretofore. While this bulletin was far from satisfying the eagerness of the people for a de tailed description of the parts the different regiments played in the heavy and continuous fighting) it sent a thrill of pride through the Kingdom. "Our men have established a per sonal ascendency over the Germane and, are conscious of the fact that with anything like even numbers the result would not be doubtful," say Sir John French, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces. The field marshal ascribes this success to superior training and intelligence which has enabled the British to use the open formation. He expresses a poor opinion of the German Infantry's shooting as compared with that of the British, and claims that the British cavalry do as they like with the en emy until they are confronted by thrice their number.

He says also that the British artillery has always been opposed by three or four times its strength. The War Office describes the Allies' operation as a strategic withdrawal and contraotlon of the forces. It con cludes with an appeal for more men. Heavy Guns Added to Paris Defenses, The correspondent of the Dally News In Paris, in a dispatch under Saturday's date, says be understands heavy suns from Calais, Boulogne and Cher- sourg have been brought up to reln- force the defenses or fans. i Twentv-five thousand marine fusil Hers, he states, marched through the eity In the small hours yesterday morn tog.

LEM6ER6 ABANDONED AUSTRIA DECLARES Official Statement Denies Story of Desperate Fight by Rus-sians for Galician Capital. CITY WAS NOT FORTIFIED, Evacuated by Austrlans for Humane and Tactical Reasons, Says The Hague Legation. The Hague, September 6, (via Lon. don, September 7) The Austrian le gation last night issued the following statement "Reports from Russian sources that Lemberg, in Gallcla, has been taken by the Russians after a desperate fight for possession of the city, are untrue. In reality Lemberg, which was not fortified, was abandoned to the Russian troops without fighting for tactical and humane reasons." General von Auffenberg, In a state ment received at the legation, says he lB following up his successes at Za mosco, and that General Dank con tinues his attack In the direction of Lublin.

The legation also contradicts dispatch of last Saturday," according 10 wnicn two uzecn regiments had muumea, claiming that at the pres ent time, there are, Ht' Cjch' troops In Vienna, whose 1 garrisons1 are! 'of Slavic origin from Bosnia and Crmtla. It also contradicts a reoort. claim lng that the Servians had completely routed the Eighth. Ninth and Thirteenth ermy corps. It is pointed out at the legation that these troops occupy a totally different no.

sition than that assigned them In the report. London, September 7 The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Post. In an article dealing with the capture oi lemoerg ana Mallei, says: "The establishment of Russian au thority in this region Is being enor- mously facilitated by the fact that the native Slav population, after long experience wim me tyrannical policy vi uermanism in lime or peace, wel corned the advent of the Russian even under the stern conditions of war. "The Lemberg victory is a sls-nal triumph for the daring strategy of the nusaian commamier-tn-criler and entirely reconciles the public to the severe censorship which enabled him to carry out protracted operations over a vast terltory without the enemy getting a single hint to give them the alarm.

"That the Russian forces, during the preparation of their real attack, were merely playing with the Austrian advance Into undefended Poland may be safely assumed from the fact that when the Austrian main force did finally attempt a forward movement, they only covered twenty-four miles from Zuvlkhoff to Opple. In that tine the Ku.sslan farces inarched and fought over more than seven times this distance. "As I understand the situation the Austrian main armies are well held by adequate Russian forces In their front. The Austrian center Is broken and her right wing Is demolished. The Russians have occupied passes leaning to tne easiest and most direct route to Budapest.

Budapest Is about twice as far from the present Husslan position, as has been covered by them since they left l'odolla for tne invasion of Gallcla. "On the East Prussian front nothing Important has happened during the last few days, and It seems evident, therefore, that Germany ha hurried troops to the eastern frontier from the west, not on account of the Iiusnlan advance In East Prussia, but in nrner to nelp tne Austrlans. "The spirit of the Russian troops Is excellent and events on this frontier are moving with great rapidity."

WASHINGTON AWAITS NEXT MOVE BY TURKEY Washington, September 7 Routine dispatches from Ambassador Morgen- thau at Constantinople today to the State Department show that communication with Turkey la unimpaired. No mention was made by the Ambassador of political conditions, from which It was inferred the diplomatic situation there was unchanged. Officials here are much interested In the possible results of the expulsion of German ana Austrian consular offices from Egypt by British military authorities. For weeks Great Britain has hesitated to take any step which might Irritate the Porte.

England's action tn Egypt, which is under the suzerainty of the Sultan, but dominated by Great Britain, was. Interpreted as meaning that the latter would delay no longr In meeting em barrassing situations resulting from Turkey's wavering, yet apparently Sympathetic, attitude toward Germany and Austria. The extension of the I forbidden zone In the Bosphorus was looked upon here as another Indication of the Porte's careful preparations for war.

GERMANS' LOSSES MAY BE 8,000. Kaiser's Troops Likely to Occupy Ghent Almost at Once Repulsed Near Antwerp.

London, SeptemLtr 7 Th cot res pondent of the Express, wiring from near Termonde, sixteen miles fiom Client, under date of Saturday, says: Termonde has fallen after six hours of fighting. The little forco of COM Belgians made a gallant defence, but the enemy was 20,000 strong and the Belgians were unable to reply effectively to tho deadly flra of the German siege guns. The Germans began the attack be tween 2 and 3 o'clock Saturday morning and the rain of shells over the town was Incessant until 9. It was a hopeless task, attempting to hold earthworks against such odds, and one by one the slender defences were abandoned. The: defenders were able to leave In good, without serious losses, and went by way of Berlaer and Over-mclre In the olrectlon of Ghent.

"After entering the town the Ger mans set it afire and throughout the morning dense clouds of smoke overhung tho city. Not three miles away the peasants, with strange and dull apathy, were still working their gardens, sometimes turning to watch the smoke. Only the children seemed afraid ard they ran and hid from my motor car. "I sighted Gorman outposts from Termonde to within ten miles of Ghent, and there are Indications that they will almost Immediately occupy Ghent. The people are greatly excited and many are preparing for flight.

"Between Ghent and Bruges there Is little sign of the conflict and men and women are working quietly In the fields. At one village four men were cnlmlv building a wayside chapel. As I pnssd they were putting place an Image of the Virgin Mary. Bruges Is perfectly calm but It is the calm of despair, not of confidence." Terrible Havoc Wrought by Enemy's Guns. The correspondent of the Chronicle ixt Ghent says that terrible havoc has been done at Termonde by the German bombardment.

Telegraphing from Ostend a correspondent of the Reuter Telegram Company says the German casualties in the fighting around Termonde on Friday and Saturday are estimated at 6,000 men. A number of German soldiers were drowned when the dykes around Termonde were cut, and several German guns were lost In the flnnd. Continuing, th correspondent says the Germans advanced Sunday In a northerly direction from Brussels, between Ghent and Antwerp. Today all telegraph and railroad communication between these towns Is inter-runted. Several hotels In are closed for fear of the arrival of the German Invaders.

An engagement occurred Sunday at Cordegem. south of Ghent. Helgian cyclists anu gendarmes ntta a sharp engagement with the enemy, which resulted in tho Belgians retiring betor" a superior force. A belrtlan major was killed. Grrmun Attack at Capclle au Bols Repulsed.

A illsiiRtch to the Kxeharge Telegraph Company from Antwerp dated Sunday, gives a Belgian ottictal communication which rays: "The repulse nf the German attnek against the southern part ol Amwrp Cspelle nu Hols, vesterdsy, was succersful, the Germans leivlng thousands o( bodies on the field and retiring. In disorder In Vllvorde, six miles northeast of Brussels. are do-innrullsed by the complete check of the attempt aaslurl Antwerp and by the losses Inflicted by our leld artillery. The Belgian losses are not numerous." The Antwerp correspondent of the Post, In giving a description of the situation there, says: "It Is ckir that tVs Germans are nervous of a forward movement nf the Hilglan army, and their exnedltlon north of Brussels was designed to keep that army at home, rather than to make any serious attempt on Antwerp. It la reported In Hrussela that Brand Whitlnck, the American Minister, has appointed Burgomaster Mai In be sec retary of tne American negation." Paris.

Hopteinber 7 A dispatch from Ostend to the Havas Agency says the Germans have posted a proclamation In Brussels guaranteeing the life and nrnnerty of the Inhabitants on the enn- dltlon that they abstain from all mani festations against the troops and furnish provisions and forage.
