New York, August 7.-With many thousand foreign reservists in New York awaiting transportation to their native lands, tiic federal port author ities iierc, under instructions to see thut neutrality laws are observed, were confronted tonight with a puz zling situation created by the manner in which some of the reservista plan ned to sail.

The battleship Florida lies at thc upper harbor entrance to guara against aoy vessels attempting to pass without clearance papers. The Olym pic will not be molested when she passes gut. She is a British reserve ship but apparently the customs au thorities have decided she does not come under tho ban against reservist bearing craft. Several German vessels tonight lay at their Hoboken piora apparently ready to sail, lt was denied officially that the' German government has re quisitioned any of these liners. The statement also was made that so far us ls known officially in German cir cles in Washington the North' Germ'en Lloyd ?Iner "Kronprinz Wilhelm, ?which sailed Monday' night, ? did' not KO to supply fuel to German cruisers off the coast.

In Defense of Germany. New York, Aug.7 Prior to German's attack on Liege, Slr Edward Grey tried to impose on Germany condi tions which Great Britain could have obtained only after a successful war, according to a statement Issued here tonight by Hantel von Halmhausen, head of the German embassy in Wash ington in the absence of Count von conditions, said Mr. Halmhaussen, if Vernstorff, the ambassador. These accepted,. would have led to absolute inactivity by the German fleet. "It is erroneous to assume," said Mr. Il aim h aus sen, "that the English declaration of war was caused exclu sively by Germany's invading Belgi um. Negotiations In London had pro ceded the German attack on Liege. During these negotiations Sir Edward Grey promised that England would remain neutral only under thc follow ing conditions: "First-Germany be not allowed to commit any act of hostility against tho French coast in tho North sea. Second-German troops be not al lowed to pass through . Belgian terri tory. , "Third-The German navy be not allowed to attack Russia from the Baltic sea. To the question put by the govern ment as. to whether Great Britain would uuderake to respect Belgian neutrality during tho war, no answer was given. "Sir Edward tried to Impose condi tions which would have secured to Great Britain without running any of thc risks apd all benefits ? lt could ?have obtained only by a successful war,' Acceptance of Iheso conditions', would have lcd'to tho bottling up of the whole German fleet, forcing it to inactivity.

P. Pollock with voting against the separate coach bill back in 1898 when Mr. Pollock waa a mem ber of tao st ate legislature. The Cberaw candidate branded this as a wilful distortion of thc official records, and said that a man who told a part of thc truth and concealed tho other part was worse than the man who told a full lie. Mr. Pollock said that he voted against a weak bil which provided that the same coach should be cut Into separate compartments for the races. He then wrote as a substitute the bill which provided for separate; coaches which was later adopted al-; most word for word as tho present separate coach law. j To retaliate for the goveror's mis representation, this candidate poured forth a tirado of invective that has scarcely been equaled in any cam paign. Among other things the chief executive was pictured o3 "a feather legged Shanghai, which couldn't stand the gaff," "a coward," along with other complimentary epithets. The governor was thc first speaker and gave over most lils entire time to the reading of an answer to an E. D. Smith circular, entiled: "For the Pur pose of Keeping the Record ' Straight, and Correcting Certain Misrepresen tations." The Smith circular was ls sued in rebuttal to the governor's St. Matthews speech, which has also been circularized and distributed free, ly all over South Carolina. What the governor read today was i but a dupli cation of the Haskell I te charges pre ferred against Senator E. D. Smith, on practically every campaign stump in thc state, and .. refuted by Senator Smith with the evidence whenever he took notice of them. L. H. Jennings followed the custo mary outline of his' speech, painting thc governor as "th'?'fcretcnded protec tor of woman's virtue." In support of this chnracerlzatiqri.'iho speaker cited tho case of Richey, in Abbeville ,who seduced hts own adopted daughter, fourteen years old, and tho Emmer son case in Anderson "Where an aged father was siam in defense of his daughter's honor. Both'of which crim inals got tho benefit of tho jovernor'a 'abundant morey." \ . This . speaker offered to withdraw from the race and give.$600 to. any mau who could prove that a single word he had uttered was untrue. Marlboro ia thc homo of J. P. Gib son of "mixed-republican-ticket" fame, arid there had been much speculation as to what form thc resentment would take today when Mr. Pollock, the Che raw candidate flaunted the calico backed ballot. It was rumored that Gibson would do something. Mr. Pollock did not vary his speech in tho slightest to appease the local , setting when emphasizing' tho gov ernor's inclination toward "tainted" appointments. To the contrary, the chafing only served to spur "to a moro excited pitch the bitter tongue lash ing and whiping into fury of his scath ing denunciation. . Senator Smith said that there was not a Bingle act of bli from.his earliest .entry into public life that called for , au apology. The governor's recital I was termed "garbled statements" and a distortion of the record. The senator satd that' ho would not gtvo hts time to tho dtsouslson o.' any man's record. Ho would discuss the Issue i dear to the heart of evory farmer.- He would go to Washington Saturday to invoke federal aid for the ' farmers. This he said would bc ' characterised as "playing politics." . He would not go as a candidate, but lu 1 continuation of the work he had al 1 ready been doing. He would rem ali in 1 Washington i.f necessary, though this , should J?ojardtze h's ?chinee of going - back to the^United states senate. He would resign with dispatch^ If that ' would'rehabilitate the cotton market 1 he said. Senator Smith's plan Is to urge that the machinery for, thc full operation ot the new banking and currency law be completed at once. When this Is done, it will be possible for farmers to.demand.
