3 THE SUNDAY OEGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 30, 1914. AMERICANS WEAR THEIRWELCOMEOUT Those Who, Having Obtained Relief, Linger in London, Cause Annoyance. BRITONS HAVE OTHER WORK Desire to Close Vp Relief of Refu gees Is Manifest Arrangements Made So Certified Checks Can Be Forwarded. LONDON. Aug. 29. Personal checks for relief of Americans In London, ac cording to arrangements now com pleted, can be ad3ressetl In care of Clarence Graff, treasurer of the Ameri can committee, at the Savoy Hotel, or In care of the London office of the Dally News. Certified checks on American or English banks can be used. The women's relief committee general fund has received nearly 1000 In subscriptions. The fact that a large number of Americans in London are not as anx ious to return home as appeared to be the case at first was learned today from Mr. Graff. Soma who have ob tained funds several times through the efforts of the committee are still. "Americans are probably as safe In London and its environs as at horn's," said Mr. Groff. "Englishmen believe that London never will be in danger. Nevertheless, we desire to finish our work of giv ing assistance. All of us who under took the work have other duties and we feel that the Americans who have been applying fo us for assistance to return home should go as speedily as possible. There are 1000 Americans in London who were supposed to be in a hurry to return home, and in some cues we have assisted them to obtain funds three times." More Americans fleeing from Ger many reached here tonight, coming by way of Flushing. Holland. Among them was L. M. Zonnenberg, of New York, who was In Nuremberg for three weeks. He spoke appreciatively of the consideration shown by Germans for Americans. He also praised the work of the American Consul. 150 ARB AIDED IN VIENNA Special Train Arranged for to Take Remaining Americans. VIENNA (via Rome and Parts), Aug. 89." The American relief commission continued its labors today and dealt with 150 applicants for assistance, for the most part tourists, physicians and students. Seventy-five Americans left today and a special train has been ar ranged which will carry 150 additional Americans. This will dispose of moat of the Americans in Vienna. Henry S. Breckenridge, Assistant Secretary of War, who has charge of the relief work In behalf of Americans in Austria-Hungary, is at Budapest and has made arrangements for a special train, which will leave Budapest Sun day night for Berlin, carrying away Americans who are stranded in Hun gary. The commission has been able to render much needed assistance to many persons with checks, drafts and letters of credit which they have been unalile to negotiate at the banks. The American Ambassador, Frederic C. Penfleld, Is doing his utmost to ob tain a train for 160 British tourists who are still at Carlsbad. Official announcement is made that the ordinary passenger and freight service will be partially restored on ail state railways in Austria at an early-date. OPERA OFF FOR SEASON Chicago Principals Abroad; Chorus Men In Italian Army. CHICAGO. Aug. :!. So many singers Are endangering their lives and voices in the European conflict that the di rectors of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, after a despairing two days' meeting, announced tonight that there would be no performances the coming season. Bernard Ulrlch. manager of the company, cabled the singers noti fying them their contracts had been canceled. "All of the principals are abroad," aid Mr. Ulrlch. "Among those who have enlisted In the French army are M. Muratore. tenor; M. Crabbe and M. Buberdeau, bassos. The men engaged for the chorus are mobilized with the Italian army. The women of the com pany have asserted that because of their connections abroad they could not sing with war raging in Europe." AMERICA HELD EXAMPLE Loudon Paper Would Bar Secret Di plomacy for Our Method. LONDON. Aug. 29. The Daily News, in an editorial denouncing secret diplo macy, says: "Can Europe ever again tolerate the appalling peril of secret diplomacy? Can we ever again play about on the deck with sails and compasses, making our little laws and imagining that we are self-governing, while down In the hold of our ship of state there is a powder magazine, the existence at which we hre not permitted to know? "Secret diplomacy belongs to the traditions of autocratic and personal government. It has no place In a democratic world, and the example of the United States must become the model of the civilized world on this vital matter. If Europe is to be free from menace in the future." CZAR LAUDS SCOTS GRAYS Emperor, Colonel-in-CiIef, Clad His Regiment Eights Common Enemy. LONDON. Aug. 29. The official press bureau has issued the following no. "His Majesty, the Emperor of Rus sia, who is Colonel-ln-Chief of the Scots Greys, has sent the following gracious message to his regiment: "I am happy to think that my gallant regiment, the Koyal Scots Greys, is fighting with Russia against the com mon enemy. Convinced that they will uphold the gracious traditions of the past. I sehd them my warm greetings and wish them victory in the battle." MELTING POT QUESTIONED Pennsylvania Man Says Suffrage: Move Is "Fizzle." PITTSBURG, Aug. 25. There ap pears considerable doubt as to the suc cess of the "melting pot" recently con ducted by the women suffragettes. Ed ward Foal, of Ardmore, Pa., who de clares that the "melting pot" conducted by suffragettes at Philadelphia was a fizzle, and that he inspected the pot and its contents to prove his charge, raises the question if the melting pot everywhere conducted was not a fail ure despite the claims to the contrary of the suffragists. "Knowing as I do that most men aDd women are opposed to equal suffrage I had believed that the appeal for jew elry for the melting pof would prove futile." he declares. So he investigated. He says: "Of 18 gold rings, nine were wedding rings! It is significant that wedding rings and thimbles are the most easily sacrificed' tokens that the suffragists can gather. Inquiry at the United States mint revealed the fact that nothing of the melting pot was known there, although the suffragists made so much about arrangements for the melting there." Inquiry at the Jenkins Arcade head quarters of the Pittsburg Equal Fran chise Association, elicited the informa tion that several wedding rings had . ; .. . I DUtlMirr. mfltlTlir tlOt. oeen iabi hi who l ......-' ...... . Miss Sara Morris, who was in ciarge of the melting pot, said tnat sne imoy. that one wedding ring came from a woman at present married, but she did not know whether the others came from "married women, widows or di vorcees." Neither she nor anyone else connect ed with the Pittsburg association could be found who could give an estimate of the value of the melting pot's re ceipts or the number of articles. Thirty-five dollars was realized at a sale last week of the jewelry. The suffra gists declared, however, there was more in the safety vault at the bank and that they "considered the melting pot a success." They have received an offer from a Pittsburg company to melt the articles free, they stated, and they probably would accept that offer. HEROIC ENVOY LAUDED AMERICAN AMBASSADOR GERARD THANKED BY BRITISH. t'onrteay of Diplomat at Berlin and Risks Taken by Him In Helping English Win Official Praise. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The British Ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, con veyed today to Secretary Bryan the thanks of the British government to the American Ambassador at Berlin. Mr. Gerard, for assisting Sir Edward Goschen and the British Embassy staff at Berlin at the time of the rupture between Germany and England. The message refers to the great as sistance of a personal nature rendered to the British Embassy by the United States Ambassador and his staff. It says Mr. Gerard repeatedly visited the embassy of his own accord, undeterred by the hostile attitude of the crowd, and often, at considerable personal risk to himself, extricated many British subjects from difficult situations. It adds: "It is a pleasure to me to inform you that I have received Sir Edward Grey's instructions to request that the warm thanks of His Majesty's govern ment may be conveyed to Mr. Gerard for hi3 great personal devotion and energy under these trying circum stances and I beg you to be so good as to cause this appreciation of his kindly action to be conveyed to Mr. Gerard, to whom as well as to his staff, His Majesty's government feel they are under a deep obligation." DESTROYER SHOWS INJURY British Censor Permits Fragment of Naval News to Get By. LONDON. Aug. 29. The cruiser (name deleted by censor) arrived today accompanied by a torpedo boat destroyer. The cruiser bears no outward signs of damage but the .base of the de stroyers' forward funnel has been car ried away and one of her 12 pounder guns is swung around out of position. The gunners in the forts gave the ships a great welcome. A dun took its name from a celebrarted bailiff of London during the reien of Henry VII. named Joe Dunn. He was ex tremely clever In devising ways and means to compel unwilling creditors 'to settle their accounts, and hence the saying. "Send Dunn after him" or "Dun him."
