"Dear to Cs."
RT PETERSBURG. Aug. 3. Em-
iion of war by Germany and then says
,Tt "Russians will rU. We on. m.
and will repulse the Insolent attack or
the enemy."

TI Emperor and autocrat of all the
Russia. King of Poland and Grand
Duke of Finland, etc.. to all our faith
ful subjects make known that
related by faith and blood to the Staff
peoples and faithful to her W-torlcal
traditions, has never regarded her
fates with indifference.
"But the fraternal sentiments of the
Russian people for the Slavs have been
awakened with perfect unanimity and
extraordinary force In these last few
days when Austria-Hungary know
ingly addressed to Servia claims in
acceptable for an independent state.
"Forced," Say Caar.
"Having paid no attention to the
pacific and conciliatory reply or the
Servian government and having re
jected the benevolent intervention of
Russia, Austria-Hungary made haste
to proceed to an armed attack and
began to bombard Belgrade, an open
P,"Forced by the situation thus cre
ated to take necessary measures or
precaution, we ordered the army and
the navy put on a war footing, at the
same time using every endeavor to
obtain a peaceful solution. Our parleys
were begun amid friendly relations
with Germany and her ally. Austria,
for the blood and the property of our
euDJects were oear iu u.
"Contrary to our hopes In our good
neighborly relations of long date and
disregarding our assurances that the
mobilization measures taken were in
pursuance of no object hostile to her,
Germany demanded their Immediate
cessation. Being rebuffed in this de
mand. Germany suddenly declared war
on Russia.
Russia's Honor at Stake.
"Today it is not only the protection
of a country related to us and unjustly
attacked that must be accorded, but we
must safeguard the honor, the dignity
and the integrity of Russia and her
position among the great powers.
"We believe unshakably that our
faithful subjects will rise with
unanimity and devotion for the de
fense of Russian soil; that internal
discord will be forgotten in this
threatening hour; that the unity of
the emperor with his people will be
come still more close and that Russia,
rising like one man, will repulse the
Insolent attack of the enemy.
"With a proround faith in the Jus
tice of our work and with a humble
hope in omnipotent Providence In
prayer we call God's blessing on Holy
Russia and her valiant troops.

FINANCE MEASURES TAKEN
Continued From First Page.)
the banks might have issued up to the'
former limit of J500.000.000. The House
today removed all restrictions as to
amount. The Senate, believing a limi
tation wise, amended the proposal to
limit the issue to combined capital and
surplus, and the extra L'5 per cent was
added in conference as a compromise.
Shipment Already Start.
Hundreds of millions of new notes
are ready for the call of the banks;
shipments to financial centers have
begun and the Bureau of Engraving is
making more night and day.
Further relief for the situation was
expected by the organization of the
Federal Reserve Board. Paul M. War
burg's delayed conrtrmation was ad
vanced by his examination in the bank
ing committee today, and Chairman
Owen predicted a favorable report and
not more than three votes against him
In the Senate.
President Wilson selected his nomi
nee for the place of Thomas r. Jones,
but will not disclose his identity until
the man accepts.
McAdoo Give Reassurance.
Secretary- McAdoo returned late to
day from his Sunday-night conference
with New York bankers, took up the
thread of financial developments and
announced that he had the utmost con
fidence in the ability of the Govern
ment and the banks to take care of
any situation which may arise. It
was pointed out tha. the outflow of
American gold to Europe has stopped
and that there can be little doubt that
American trade with Europe would
feel a normal and reassuring reac
tion within a short time.
It seemed to be the opinion here
that the next few days will show
which of the nations, now at war, will
control the seas and that with that
question settled there is no reason to
fear that the American export trade
will not be resumed to a large ex
tent. Mr. McAdoo had a talk late today
with Festus J. Wade, president of the
St. Louis Clearing House Association.
Sir. Wade is understood to have given
assurance that conditions in St
Louis and continguous territory were
good.
Treasury Officiate Ready.
Treasury officials are making every
preparatlon to launch the Federal
reserve banking system as soon as
the Senate confirms two members of
the reserve board.
The currency to be used in the new
sytem has not been actually printed,
but the designs have been submitted
and are ready for approval and the
actual work of getting out the bills
will require only a comparatively
short time.
Orders restricting the amount of
money orders Issued to European
points will be issued probably tomor
row. This was announced by Postmaster-General
Burleson tonight after
a conference with Secretaries McAdoo
and Bryan.
"It is the intention of the Depart
ment," Mr. Burleson said, "to so re
strain the service that money cannot
be transferred to Europe tor specula
tive purposes."
Mr. Burleson said that the mail serv
ice between the United States and Eu
ropean points would not be seriously
interrupted by the war.
Parcel Poxt Service Suapcnded.
Mr. Burleson also announced that
Egypt had requested that no further
money orders be issued to her account
and instructed postmasters to decline
to receive parcel post packages tor
mailing to France or Germany until
further advised. This followed ofHclal
notice from France and Germany that
parcel post service had been suspended.
The House today promptly passed the
bill suggested by the President waiving
restrictions on American registry for
foreign-built snips to assist transa..
lantic commerce. It will be acted on
by the Senate tomorrow. The Senate
voted to authorize the Secretary of the
Navy to establish naval Tines to carry
rreight. mail and passengers to Europe
and South America.
President Wilson appealed to the
people ot the country through the
Washington correspondents not to be
come alarmed over developments in
Europe, as this country was well pre
pared to withstand any financial crisis.

small private banks were closed, but
there were no other occurrences or
this nature, and withdrawals from
banks, while heavier than usual, were
not large enough to signify wide
spread public uneasiness.
As a result of today's action, there
is now in circulation more currency
than at any previous time in the his
tory of the country. Clearing-house
certificates to the value of about 5-0,-000.000
were issued, and it was ex
pected that further large amounts
would be demanded by the banks
shortly. During the 1907 panic the
maximum amount of certificates issued
was $10.1.000.000. At that time, also,
the amount of bank notes outstanding
was somewhat larger than now. but
the present total of currency exceeds
all other periods.
During the time the clearing-house
certificates are in circulation the
usually detailed bank statement will
not be issued. This course was pur
sued in 1907. when only a bare sum
mary of the weekly bank operations
was published.
Stork Brokers Inactive.
Stock exchange brokers settled down
for a long period or inactivity, for
it was the general opinion that the
market would not be reopened for
several weeks.
Commission houses received inquir
ies which showed there was a con
siderable demand for stocks from in
vestors. In most cases, it was said,
orrers were made ranging from one
to .three points higher than the quo
tations prevailing when trading was
suspended Thursday night.
Efforts were made to stop trans
actions in stocks by irresposible pri
vate concerns, some of which, taking
advantage ot the suspension of the
exchange. endeavored to set them
selves up in business. A committee of
stock exchange brokers was appointed
to appeal to newspaper publishers to
reject objectionable advertisements
from such persons.

When the house reassembled, the
Foreign Secretary made his statement
with respect to Belgium. These mem

had not made out a case for war.
Philip Morrell, Liberal, said the best
that could be said for the entente,
after eight years, was that it was

wanted to cross Belgium.

CHURCH PERMIT GRANTED
Opponents of Colored Congregation

Construction of the new African
Zion Methodist Episcopal church at
East First and Halsey streets, to
which residents of that district have
manifested considerable opposition,
was authorized yesterday when Build

Penn, treasurer of the church, a per
mit to construct the super-structure.
A special meeting of the city com
mission has been called for to con
sider the extension ot Halsey street
through the church property at the
instance ot the opposition. Several
residents are objecting to this plan,
however, on the ground that the dam
ages to be awarded ror the vacation

colored church asked $7000 for its lot
before the extension was proposed,
but it is said the valuation has been
Increased since.
SALEM BRIDGE CONDEMNED
State Engineer Says Steel Braces
Have Rusted in Lapse of Years.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 3. (Special.)
That the suspension bridge at Salem is
unsafe and should be razed was the
substance of a report made to the City
Council tonight by State Highway En
gineer Bowlby, who has examined the
structure.
He recommended that not more than
one vehicle cross the bridge at a time
and that a ferry be provided at once
for heavy vehicles.
"Numerous braces have rusted in
two," said Major Bowlby. "and a heavy
wind might blow the structure over.
It would be unwise to allow two six
ton trucks on the bridge during a
heavy wind."
The bridge was built about 25 years
ago. The cost of a new bridge would
be about $200,000.

A victim of two wars is Theodore
Bogaschewskl, 26 years old, who ar
rived in Portland yesterday with 62
valueless dollars in his pocket. He Is
a German subject, and has been called
back to fight for his country, but the
death of the Huerta regime in Mexico

Bagaschweski was a blacksmith on
a German sailing vessel which landed
at Santa Rosalia, Mexico, four months
ago. He was paid off, but was taken
sick and his money was changed in
Mexican pesos.
He succeeded in getting to Port
land, however, and had 62 pesos left,
but the Mexican government has
changed and his money is valueless.
