Townsend, director of the Aquarium here today, "is that we have never had serious trouble with them before.

Every year, about the middle of June, these big fish that are so dangerous around Cuba and the West Indies move non-th with, the wacm weather and stay till the middle of September. They can be caught any time well inside Sandy- Houk. and are often found In fish ponds not half-a-mile from shore all the way aa far- north as Maine. But they never before have attacked human beings. Sharks in these waters.

"kPr Townsend continued, are of 18 to20 different kinds. Of these-only half-a-dozen a re dangerous, the white, dusky, blue, mackerel and tiger being the worst. They run from 10 to 15 feet, and are the onlv kinds which have both the courage anil the jaws and teeth to be dangerous "Whether the sharks which have been causing such trouble on the Jersey coast are a new kind or simplv a few 'bad' ones which have tasted flesh, it Is impossible to say. Danger from 'them, however. is always present.

ering what the bureau can do about it. Inquiries have poured in to the bureau and its opinion of the recent Incidents is best summarized in the following, which Commisioner Hiruth sent today to Representative Bacharach of New Jersey "While It is true that occt.sional human heings have been attacked by sharks in tropical waters, ihe number of such instances In temperate waters, of which these are apparently tie first authentic ones on our coast, are exceedingly rare that bathers need have little fear. "Dr Frederick A. Lucas, director of the American Museum of Natural History, has stated that the danger of being attacked by sharks In the waters near New York is Infinitely less than that of being struck by lightning. "None of our common sharks have been known to attack a human being.

Although stragglers of dangerous tropical species, the white shark and blue shark have been taken In our waters, in practically every instance they were immature, not adult, fish. "In the present instances we have cases in which human heings have been attacked, presumably by a shark. We may either believe It to he a solitary Individual that bas acquired a taste for human flesh or possibly a small number of sharks driven by scarcity of food to adopt unusual measures. Iii either case it should not be difficult to remedy this condition, lor hungry sharks promptly fall an easy prey to a baited hook. As a precautionary measure It is suggested that If the authorities at the various resorts on your coast will attach a heavy line and halted shark hook buoyed to within two or three feet of the surface of the water to a pile or anchored buoy some 4i0 or 600 yards from the life-lines at Intervals of about cue-quarter of a mile parallel with the shore line the dangerous species now in your waters will soon he captured.

The hookxs should be kept well baited, espe- I daily at night.

The August bank holidays will bo postponed by royal proclamation.

"That offensive," he continued, "Is i only in its beginning and it necessarily 'inquires for Its suecess a continuous i supply- of munitions of all kinds.

WHERE SHARK KILLED TWO PERSONS TEUTONS ASK BELGIAN FOOD BE CONFISCATED But Hemphill Is Confident Humanity Will Prevail Nation Lives in the Daily Hope of Recovering Independence around here, said Sam Mahoney. "Why?" asked a sand lodger. I- was going to say they dont like lobsters, but that wouldnt be the correct answer.

smiled Ram. "In the old days here at Revere, Interrupted Doc Drury, "sea serpents were frequently seen, but thev never attacked anybody that I ever heard of. That was before Revere went no license, said Mahoney. Yea, churtled the Doc, I think per haps it was hack in those old days when the sea serpent was most frequently seen. And It Is possible that there was some psychological significance In the association of those two things.

I had never thought of it in that light before. But why cant a shark come In here as well as along the Jersey asked another sand lodger. All eyes were turned on Doc Drury for an answer, he being a recognized aquatic scientist. There are several reasons besides the one Sam gave, said Doc Drury. "In the first place, the kind of shark that will attack a man In the water ls a warm-water fish.

He Is found around the Gulf Stream, and if the GuJf Stream dian go so near the Jersey shore there wouldnt be any man-eating sharks off the coast there. At thRt, I think the ones down there now have strayed off their course a little. But as the Gulf Stream doesnt come within 500 miles of Revere Beach there's no chance of getting any man-eating sharks here. He wont wander away from the Gulf Stream that distance even to see the lie-vere Beach crowds on a hot day." "Thats strange, said another sand lodger. I didnt know fish felt the heat or cold.

so seriously mangled In a battle with a shark yesterday that he died a few hours later, performed an autopsy on Fisher's body today. He declared he found the flesh torn by the maneaters teeth Impregnated with a peculiar poisonous liquid which seemed to have a deadening effect on the nerves and muscles. This probably explained, he said, why Fisher apparently had little sensation of pain when the shark took oft his leg. Little hope la entertained for the recovery of the body of 12-year-old Lester Stillwell, the other victim of the Mata-wan Creek tragedy. It is believed that he was devoured by the shark, as per-sistent dragging of the inlet and dynamiting of the water have failed to bring up the body.

Premier Asquith, speaking In the House of Commons, said the Allied offensive on tht western front Is only-in Its beginning and asked the munitions workers to make It plain to Great Britain' foes that the British attack, in its present intensity of bombardment and assault, "will, if necessary, be continued indefinitely. The munition conference, over which Mr Lloyd George presided, was held at the War Office and was participated In by Albert Thomas, French Minister of Munitions; Gen Beliaoff. Assistant Minister of War of Russia; JTIen A. Dali Olio, member of the Italian Ministry of War. and the new British Minister of Munitions, Edwin S.

Montague. Many Conflicting Reports Many conflicting reports were received here during the day from various points along the New York and New Jersey coasts regarding the killing of sharks, but only one appears to have had any foundation In fact. This was the news brought in by Anthon brought in by Anthony Lundy, captain "You got a lot of things to learn about the water, sonny, said Tim McCarthy with an emphatic shake of the which he told a strange after of a fishing boat, who said he had 8harlt story, clubbed to death a nine-foot shark. can. rel head, after VIENNA REPORTS RUSSIANS BEATEN OFF IN GALICIA VIENNA, via London, July 33 Th official statement from General Headquarters issued today reads: West and northwest of Rimzacz the enemy again attacked Gen von tilers Allied armies with strong forces While part of the attacking columns collapsed before Ur obstacles, other parts succeeded in penetrating a sret-ori of our position.

LONDON, June 20 (Correspondence) A. J. Hemphill of New York, treasurer of the Commission for Relief In Belgium, has returned from a trip of inspection In Belgium and Northern France, and expresses himself as very proud of the work which the Americans are doing. In order to secure permission to enter Belgium Mr Hemphill had to go to Berlin, where he spent several days.

He found a great difference of opinion among prominent Germans as to the advisability of permitting the present system of relieving the Belgians. He said: "An influential German section maintains that at least a portion of the native supplies produced In Belgium are the rightful fruits of conquest, and that as long as there is any possibility of German women and children and German soldiers being in want of food. Belgium's native production should be confiscated, and the Belgians left to the mercy of her Allies. "Another internal criticism is that the policy of permitting relief supplies to be distributed merely prolongs the passive resistance which is still practically universal among the 7,000,000 Belgians who are under German rule. However, am confident that the more humane policy authorized by the German Chancellor will continue to prevail.

"In Brussels the people are well-clad, the shops are open and every one goes about his daily life as much as in London or New- York. But at the relief stations, where more than 30 percent of the population, who are wholly destitute, get their soup and other provisions, he i saw not only the needy class, but well-' dressed men, women and children. "The outward appearance of normality is sustained only by the fact that relief to the value of over 1.200,000 ($6,000,000) Is, so to speak, injected into the country every month. The external calm is an amazing tribute to the efficiency of the system whereby the relief organization provides and distributes to this whole Nation supplies without which there would be chaos and unthinkable suffering. "I am convinced.

he continued, "that the relief supplies sent into Belgium reach, in their entirety, the Belgian people. "The Belgians still live from dav to day In the undlmmed expectancy of regaining their independence. I might almost say they live on hope, because if that wonderful spirit were not there the scanty ration, which is all the re- lief organization can supply, would be Inadequate to prevent increased disease and mortality. Brave is not the word for them. "Among the wholly destitute In Belgium there are 600,000 children, who are entirely dependent upon- the tenderheartedness of the outside world.

The commission has asked the peasants to lend, free of charge, for on year, one cow from each. of their herds which will provide milk for the children. In Antwerp the herd now numbers over 400 cattle. In Brussels Mr Hemphill saw huge quantities of cloth and garments from the United States being redistributed In Antwerp he saw- 800 Belgian women and girls under one roof making up their share of this cloth Into suits or dresses, or altering ready-made clothing. "I only wished that the generous donors were with me to see the jov it brought, and also the business-like way in which it was prepared for local requirements and then discriminate given to those most in need." he said.

No Dangerous Sharks North of Long Island The Boston Fish Bureau and old fishermen of Massachusetts Bay have no knowledge of man-eating sharks in these waters, they said yesterday. Sharks haVe been brought into Boston, but they have been mackerel sharks or bluenoses, and not of the variety now terrorizing the Jersey coast. According to men along the waterfront, who pick up news from every craft that comes into port, man-eating sharks do not come north of Long Island. The other varieties are seldom seen within 100 miles of the shore. Immense Artillery Supply "The British Navy until recently has absorbed more than half of the metal workers of this country.

The task of building new ships and repairing the old ones for the gigantic Navy and fitting and equipping them occupies the energies of 1,000,000 men. "Most of our new factories are now complete. most of the machinery has been set up. Hundreds of thousands of men and women, hitherto unaccustomed to metal and chemical work, have been trained for munitions making. "Every month we are turning out hundreds of guns and howitzers, light.

IMPRACTICAL IN SCOTLAND Women's Request for Prohibition During War Refused by Liquor Control Board GLASGOW, July 13 Prohibition In Scotland is impractical in the opinion of the Liquor Control Board. The board stated this in substance to a deputation representing many thousands of women who signed a petition urging the adoption of prohibition for the pe-riod of war. Lord Abemon.

chairman of the board said that it was not possible t-o consider prohibition except as applied to large, self-contained areas. Lord Abernon said that the experience in the colonies and in the United States showed that no measure of prohibition could succeed unless applied with cor- pioplafftel a mairity of the GAVE ASQUITHS VIEWS Lartsd'owne Defends His Declaration on Irish Government, Which Redmond Had Denounced LONDON, July 13 The Marquis of Lansdowne, replying in a written statement today to John Redmonds charge that his speech in the House of Lords on Tuesday was a declaration of war against Ireland, announced that the speech was made after consultation with Premier Asquith and other mem bers of the Government. In making my statement, he writes, as to the permanent character of cer-tain provisions of the Amending bill I did not intend to go, and I do not consider that I did go, beyond the dee-laration made by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons that the union of six counties with the rest of Ireland could only be brought about with, and never be brought about without the free will and consent of the exclud-6a areas. My statement with regard to the Government of Ireland during the interval which must elapse between the present moment and the passing iof the Amending bill represented what I b-to the views of the Govern-with niade after consultation with the Prime Minister and others of nsy colleagues. In Lord Lansdowne's speech of Tuesday he ieclared that the Amending hill would make structural alterations in the Home Rule act of 191k while other provisions were merely temporary.

This statemnt evoked a passionate' protest from Mr Redmond, who declared that it indicated a gross breach of faith and was a gross insult to Ireland. Mr Redmond asserted that "if this speech be the attitude and spirit of the Government toward Ireland there is an end to all hopes of a settlement. tinned on the French front along the Somme.

Berlin Reports French Failure The German official statement says: "Artillery fire continued with great -intensity. Yesterday, South of the Somme, the French met with no success in attacks which they several times began on both sides of Barleux and near and west of Estress.

They were compelled to turn back under our effective curtain of fire, suffering the most severe and sanguinary losses. The British have established themselves In Contalmaison.

Large fish which have appeared in unusual numbers in rivers and harbors during the last few days are believed to have come in seeking refuge.

A manatee 14 feet long and weighing 2000 pounds was caught in the St Johns River today. Yesterday a grouper weighing 600 pounds was hit by a steamer and later waa picked up by boatmen. Sharks recently drove 13 small whales ashore at Pablo Beach, 18 miles from Jacksonville. Great schools of sharks, believed to have been carried southward by the recent tropical storm, have been sighted in the Gulf of Mexico. SHARK LEFT STRANDED According to the captains story the shark followed the boat foz miles until a special hook was bent on a heavy line and thrown overboard with fresh meat as bait.

The shark swallowed the bait as soon as it touched the water. A fisherman reported tonight that he had tried vainly to kill with an oar a seven-foot monster which became en, tangled in his nets. He said the shark tried to strike his boat. WANTS CORRESPONDENCE One Caught in Inlet Near Fairfield Beach, Conn BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 13 A live-foot shark, the second within a week, was caught today in a small inlet close to Fairfield Beach, one of the most lopular bathing places in this vicinity.

Bathers along the Atlantic Beach also reported seeing many large fish being driven Into shallow water by sharks. Only recently 14 whales were driven on shore by a school of sharks, who were afterward seen bv sailors on board vessels entering the south of St Johns River. manatee, which was chased ud the nver by sharks, is practically extinct in the waters of this State and there is a law prohibiting the killing of the peculiar animal. (HA ANOTHER MAN ATTACKED Thomas Richards Hauled Into Motor Boat Before Shark Can Strike Off Manhattan Beach1 NEW YORK, July 13 Attacked and chased by a shark while he was swimming off Oriental Point. Manhattan Beach, Thomas Richards, assistant steward of the Beau Rivage Hotel.

Sheeps-head Bay, escaped with his life this morning by a narrow margin. Before the shark could turn over to strike, Richards managed to lift himself clear of the water and was hauled into a qiotor boat with Joseph Vannini. 16 years old, the son of the proprietor of the hotel. As Richards grasped the side of th motor boat and with the help or the boy began to pull himself out of the water, the shark swept close. Richards legs were just clear of the water when he felt a sharp twinge of pain.

When he examined his right foot he found a long scratch. He does not kno whether the scratch was made by a splinter of wood on the side of the craft or by the teeth of the shark.
