Pleas ant A. Stovall. American Minister, and American Consuls throughout Switzer land are doing all in their power to aid American tourists caught In Swit zerland with wars on three of her borders. Trains for Italy are running Irregularly. It is difficult to estimate the num ber of Americans in the country, but it probably exceeds 10,000. Most of them are quartered in hotel In various cities and town, RESERVISTS MIT T ANSI ORDER Enemy's Fleets Lie Between Soldiers in New World and Their Armies. ORIENT ONLY AVENUE Governments Finally Plan to Take Men Over. Though Many Will Go to Europe Across Siberia to Aid of Serb Forces. Watchful waiting, in spite of the flood of exciting bulletins laden with war and rumors of war, appeared to be the order of the day yesterday morning and afternoon in the head quarters and assembling places of nearly all of the nationalities most vitally interested in the European crisis. The transportation problem con fronting the majority of those who were eager to go to the front kept most of them quiet, for It was not until afternoon that the consular an nouncements began to bring tidings of governmental arrangements. Red Cross Work to Start. The Servians will not institute their formal campaign to raise Red Cross funds before tomorrow, but the work is being carried on steadily in an in formal way. Slavonian women of the city will make a canvass when the cam paign is opened to raise funds for the maintenance of nurses during the war. The German Society Is also making elaborate preparations to raise a big Red Cross fund, and 1300 was collected at a meeting held Monday night. Dr. F. H. Dammasch said yesterday that large donations have been promised. Among some, the report of a state of war between England and Germany and of war between Belgium and Ger many was not looked upon as a sign of immediate and serious difficulties. Until positive announcement of the declaration of war between Germany and Great Britain was received they expressed an opinion that there was yet hope that the matter might dwindle again to a contest between only Austria and Servia. The call of Germany for the reserves in this country was not regarded by the Germans as a sign of pressing need, especially since the possibility of the reservists being at all able to reach their country, even after they have re ported to the consulates. i very re mote, on account of the unsettled transportation conditions in the Atlan tic. A possible way of returning via the Orient Is opened to the Servian and other reservists, but this way of course, is closed to the German reservist, whose only hope of reaching the seat of action Is directly across the Atlantic, where the fleets of France and Great Britain intervene. The City of Russia, scheduled to leave Vancouver. B. C. for the Orient, may carry a number of men from the North west who Intend to make their way to Europe through Siberia. Germana Are Confident. In case the strife becomes complete between Germany and the other powers, prominent Germans in Portland still declare their confidence in the success of the Kaiser's forces. Hilmar Papst. general manager of the Portland Gas & Coke Company, who was an officer in the German army be fore he came to America and took citi zenship, asserts that the superior pow ers of mobilization possessed by the German army will largely discount the odds that are thrown against her.
