WASHINGTON, Aug-. 7. Observation
of strict neutrality by the United
States in the European war, especially
as to the movement of foreign ships
In American waters, gave the Wash
ington Government most concern today.
Special Instructions were issued by
the Department of Commerce which
may have an important effect on the
movement of reservists from the United
States. What amounts to a military
expedition from American soil will in
each case be prohibited, in accordance
with President Wilson's neutrality
proclamation. State, Treasury and
Commerce Department officials were
tonight absorbed in deciding the nu
merous technicalities which have arisen
In connection with foreign-owned
ships such as the Olympic and Vater
land, so that it may be established
definitely whether they are being "con
verted for war purposes."
Relief Gold Cabled.
Relief measures for Americans In
Europe are working smoothly. The
State Department cabled $100,000 to
Paris and $25,000 to Rome, In addition
to the IJOO.OOu previously sent to Lon
don. These suras are for the imme
diate use of the American Embassies,
pending the arrival of the Tennessee's
consignment of gold.
Assurances that the Tennessee and
North Carolina, as well as vessels to
bring Americans out of Europe, would
be admitted to the ports of the coun
tries at war brought relief to offi
cials. The two warships are bound,
it is said, for Falmouth. England.
There a portion of the enormous store
of treaaure aboard the Tennessee will
be placed on the North Carolina. One
of the vessels then will go to Northern
Continental ports, while the other
teams Into the Mediterranean.
Mediation Offer Received.
Diplomatic dispatches contained lit
tle information about the fighting in
Europe, beyond what had been pub
lished. The French and Russian gov
ernments acknowledged receipt of "the
tender of good offices," looking toward
mediation, but gave no hint as to their
attitude toward its acceptance. No
word has as yet been received as to
whether or not President Wilson's mes
sage to Emperor William actually
reached him.
Germany's Isolation owing to the
break In the cables is being impressed
upon officials generally as a serious
difficulty in forming a Judgment of
wh.it Is happening in Europe. Not alone
Is It practically Impossible to learn
Germany's version of the many reports
of what her army and navy are do
ing, but the German government is un
able to communicate through the out
side world to its distant ships and Em
bassies, and is finding it hard to ob
tain army or navy Intelligence of the
enemy. The wireless Is the only means
of communication.
Far Burnt Give Worry.
The situation In the Far East Is giv
ing Administration officials some
worry. They do not expect general
hostilities there because the British,
Russian and French ships predominate,
and could rely on the Japanese, too. for
assistance. However, the problem of
preserving the integrity of China and
maintaining her neutrality is being
carefully considered.
Chinese Minister Shah and Tung
Kwal, the counselor of the legation,
conferred today with Secretary Bryan
on the subject. The Chinese govern
ment Is making a supreme effort to
prevent China from being made a thea
ter of war.
Secretary Bryan has been consider
ing a suggestion that the United
States use its influence not only to
preserve neutrality, but to prevent a
conflict between the foreign, forces In
China. He has been in conference dur
ing the last two days with the British,
Japanese and Chinese diplomatic rep
resentatives and is believed to have
touched upon the subject. The Secre
tary's attention has been called to the
f:ict that he has ample precedent for
adopting this suggestion in the action
taken by Secretary Hamilton Fish, in
1S70, during the Franco-Prussian war.
Japan Is Ilia; Factor.
Secretary Fish personally cabled the
American Ministers in Germany and
France Instructions to sound the gov
ernments to which they were accred
ited with a purpose of securing an
agreement to have their forces then
atationed in China restrained from fly
ing at each other's throats. Mr. Fish's
move had been anticipated, however,
by the French and German command
ers in Chinese waters, and at the in
stance of the latter the French Ad
miral had agreed to a truce which
lasted until the end of the war.
At present there are new phases in
the situation which may make the task
much more difficult. Japan is now
the most potent factor, and Is com
monly understood to cherish a strong
desire for the exclusion of the Ger
manic element from the Far East.
A cable was received at the State
Department today from Argentina, an
nouncing that a proclamation of neu
trality in the European conflict had
been Issued by that country. Arsen
tina and Brazil have issued decrees of
moratorium for the protection of cred
its. Peru took such action several
days ago.

From the same source came the state
ment that so far as is known officially
in German circles in Washington, the
North German Lloyd liner Kronprinz

and without passengers on Monday
night, did not go forth to supply fuel
to German cruisers off the Atlantic

HELP FOR BRITISH ASKED
Ambassador Gerard Says Many Ref
ugees Are Scantily Supplied.
BERLIN, Aug. 7, via London, 6:S0
P. M. James W. Gerard, the American
Ambassador to Germany, today cabled
an appeal to the British public to send
funds for the relief of the "Great num
ber of British subjects English, Cana
dian, Irish and others left in my
charge."
"Many of the refugees," the Ambas
sador said, "are young girls without
relations or friends, and with only
enough money for a short time. The
temper of the people may make it hard
for these poor people to And lodging In
Berlin even if they have funds. Many
already have been arrested as spies."
Mr. Gerard added that Sir Edward
Goschen, the British Ambassador, had
asked him to advance British subjects
money up to the amount of $5000 on
the credit of the British government.
"But where am I to get the cash?"
Ambassador Gerard asked. "We our
selves at the American embassy have
only a little store of money, as the war
came so suddenly."
Detention of Dowager Denied.
BERLIN, Aug. 7. (Via London. 11:40
A M.) The German Foreign Office to
day declared false stories that dis
courtesy had been shown in Germany
toward the Dowager Empress Maria
Feodorovna and the Grand Duke Con
stantine of Russia. Officials say her
majesty was received with the greatest
respect on her arrival In Berlin, and
that her train was diverted to Denmark
because the territory east of Berlin
was in a state of war.

LONDON. Aug 3. A young Russian
girl. Miss Akimov, who has Just reached
London from Moscow on a visit with
English friends, today told a dramatic
story. She came by the last train to
leave Russian territory given up to
civilian use.
"When 1 learned that war was im
minent." she said, "I sent a hotel por
ter out to obtain a passport. After a
long absence he returned and said that
to obtain one was Impossible, i tnen
sent for the secretary at the Japanese
consulate, who was a friend. He came
and after much difficulty I got a pass
Dort. "For several days Moscow had been
in ferment. In the streets were dense
masses of people discussing excitedly
tlio latest news in the papers, the spe
cial editions of which were publlshedj
almost hourly. Soldiers were every
where.
"On the frontier it was the same. On
the way to Warsaw I saw trains full
of troops. In the sidings were soldiers
drawn up on the platforms. On every
side was the cry, 'To Germany, to the
rescue of our Servian brothers.
Soldiers Hold Up Train.
"Then the train was held up and
there was a hurried consultation. Lines
of heads were out of the windows and
the faint lights flickered upon the anx
ious faces of women will disheveled
heads and the men's haggard faces
were lined by anxiety. "Shall we be al
lowed to proceed, or is it war already?"
Those were the questions agitating
every one.
"I asked a traveling companion, an
oldish man who was coming home,
what he thought. "I do not know,' was
his reply.
"Then we heard that the railway au
thorities were telegraphing to ask
whether we could go on. Slowly, with
many pauses and the nerve-shattering
grinding of brakes applied suddenly,
acting upon nerves already stral.'ed to
the breaking point, we advanced ever
the frontier, where there were more
troops and more activity.
German Troops Everywhere.
"I heard a man in our carriage, now
terribly over-crowded, with passengers
standing in the corridor, reading a
stray copy of a Continental paper. It
said that Germany was not mobilizing
yet, but we were in Germany, and
everywhere we saw soldiers, not as
spies, but in battalions. All the sta
tions were crowded with them.
"As dawn broke, while we sped
across the land on our way to Berlin,
I looked out of the windows. Small
detachments of soldiers were wending
their way along the country roads.
Some waved their rifles as the train
rushed by, and at the wayside stations
there were troops with fixed bayonets.
"An exciting moment came as we
neared Berlin. The train was stopped
and soldiers boarded it. There was a
search and the sleeping berths were In
vaded. Horrified and frightened wom
en were hustled in their night attire
Into the corridors.
"What did it mean? Was the search
for a spy? They were searching for
deserters. It was a rigorous search, but
apparently nothing resulted.
Berlin In War Fever.
""I found on my arrival at Berlin that
the war fever was at its height. At the
station excited masses of English,
French and Americans were besieging
our train. They were reiugees irom tne
terror which appeared to be stalking at
their heels and the fear of the brutal
soldiers, who hustled and terrorized
them: The din was terrible.
"At last we were off on our way
through Hanover. In my carriage were
several Germans I fancy one or two
were naturalized Englishmen on their
way back from a holiday in the country
of their birth. More than one of them
expressed the pessimistic view that this
time Germany will not win and that
German diplomacy has been at fault,
and that the German General Staff had
miscalculated the probabilities of the
forces arrayed against Germany.
"Then came the rush for the boat. It
seemed impossible that the jostling
crowd could all get on board. There
was almost a panic, as It was the last
boat to leave for Folkestone. At last
we got aboard and four hours later 1
landed. I think I never was so glad in
my life."
Otis Kent Tells of Hardship.
Otis B. Kent, an attorney for the
American Interstate Commerce Com
mission, arrived in London this morn
ing after an exciting Journey from St.
Petersburg. Unable to find accommo
dation at a hotel, he slept on the rail
way station floor.
"I arrived at St. Petersburg on July
27," he said. "Enormous demonstra
tions were taking place at the capital.
I was warned to get out and left on tho
night of the 28th for Berlin. 1 saw
Russian soldiers drilling at the stations
and artillery constantly on the mov.
"At Berlin I was warned to keep off
the streets for fear of being mistaken
for an Englishman. At Hamburg the
number of warnings was increased.
Two Russians who refused to rise in a
cafe when the German anthem was
played were attacked and badly beaten.
I also saw two Englishmen attacked in
the street, but they were rescued by
the police.
"Arriving at Queensborough yester
day, the Dutch captain of the c.oss
channel steamer ignored the wigwag
signals on shore and was stopped by a
shot across the vessel's bow. The
boarding officer explained that this was
caused by the failure of the Dutch boat
to display Its flag."
GOLD POURS INTO BANKS
CHANCELLOR LLOYD-GEORGE SEES
ALL SERENE.
With Opening: of Banks and Advent of
$28,000,000 In Foreign Accounts,
All la Satisfactory.
LONDON, Aug. 7. Before the ad
journment of the House of Commons
this evening, David Lloyd-George, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced
that reports received from points
throughout the country showed that
with the opening of the banks the
financial position was perfectly satis
factorily. The Bank of England, he said, had
received on foreign accounts 5,600,000
($28,000,000) in gold; that there was
no sign of gold being hoarded, and that
trade was regaining Its normal condi
tion. The Bank of England, Mr. Lloyd
George continued, felt that It could re
duce Its rate of discount to 5 per cent
on Saturday. Some banks had re
ceived more money than they had paid
out.

give careful attention to warehouse fa
cilities for grain," is the advice of the
Department of Agriculture today' to
farming interests of the country as a
means of relieving threatened crop con
gestion on account of the European
war. The office of markets has been
making a careful Investigation into the
situation with a view of affording re
lief. "Cotton Is the most important factor
In the situation," said Charles J. Brand,
in charge of the office of markets.
"England no doubt will be able to
organize her cotton spinning In a short
time and the consumption of Ameri
can mills will be greatly increased if
war goes on." American spot cotton
business was resumed -TH Liverpool to
day, with moderate sales. Quotations
were reduced 16 points. Sales totalled
2000 bales on a basis of 6500 for Amer
ican middling.
"The wheat situation, Brand con
tinued, "is not nearly so acute, though
careful attention should be given to
warehousing facilities which hitherto
have not been utilized."

TOURISTS BEING LISTED
Refugees in Paris Are Tranquil but
Those in Sea Coast Resorts Arc
Yet Panicky Germans Are
Held as Prisoners.
PARIS. Aug. 7t 5:05 P. M. United
States Ambassador Herrlck telegraphed
today the American consular officers
In France asking how many Ameri
cans there are in their districts who
desire to return immediately to the
United States. The Ambassador Is
compiling a list of such Americans, so
as to be able to arrange for their em
barking for home when opportunity
offers.
The war office Informed Mr. Herrlck
today that a safe port would be indi
cated for American transports, but that
its situation would not be announced
at the' present time, and might not be
made public until shortly before the
arrival of the ships. While it is not
known under what terms Americans
will be taken home, the Ambassador
says all will be properly cared for.
Americans in Paris are tranquil, but
Mr. Herrlck is receiving panicky mes
,sages from Americans in the smaller
seacoast resorts and other places, who
have no means of obtaining regular
news of events except every kind of
alarming rumor afloat. Some of these
telegrams ask if it is true that the
CTerman fleet has escaped into the At
lantlc and whether there Is danger Of
French towns being bombarded. To
each message the Ambassador sends a
reassuring reply.
It appears that few newspapers are
being published in the towns of France
outside Paris, and that the people In
these towns have no means of obtain
ing news except .from posters with
summaries of events telegraphed from
Paris to the local officials.
The American embassy has Issued
certificates to about 400 Germans.
Those who are without means are re
ceiving a daily allowance from a fund
which the German Ambassador left for
this purpose before his departure. The
Germans here are really regarded as
prisoners by the French authorities.
On each of the passenger trains going
south or west Is a so-called German
car, set apart for Germans who are
ordered to a district where they will
be kept under surveillance. The car
is under military guard, but the guard

late today from the port authorities to
take on 50 tons of coal, which is suf
ficient to take her to the neasest home

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. The com
mandant of the Mare Island Navy-yard
late today was instructed by Secretary
Daniels to allow the Canadian cruiser
Rainbow to take-on enough coal at San
Francisco for a voyage to Esquimalt,

Foreign Exchange Bankers Direct
Energies Now to Lifting Em
bargo on Merchandise 1 -ports
From America.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. Reports in Wall
street today that the New York StocK
Exchange would soon be reopened met
with prompt and authoritative denial.
The committee which was appointed to
maintain active supervision over stock
exchange affairs during the period Of
suspension made this statement:
"The special committee of five will
not recommend to the governing com
mittee tho reopening of the exchange
until. In their Judgment, the financial
situation warrants it and, as before
stated, ample notice will be given of
the proposed reopening."
The statement was made primarily
because It was felt that reports of an
early reopening. If allowed to spread
unchallenged, would give alarm to
brokers, investors, bankers and busi
ness men throughout the country. It
was known that pressure was being
brought to bear upon the governors by
some members to consider an early re
opening. The position of the brokers
is made difficult by their heavy losses
during the time of Idleness, and it was
felt by some members that there would
be small danger of heavy liquidation by
European holders of American securi
ties such as upset the market last
week.
Impatient Ones lauorrd.
The committee of live felt it would
be highly dangerous to reopen the
stock market until financial skies had
cleared, particularly In regard to the
credit situation and foreign exchange.
It may be stated authoritatively that
the governing committee Intends to be
guided In Its actions by the Judgment
of the most prominent financial inter
ests of the country, and not by pres
sure from impatient members of the
exchange.
The general financial situation today
was one of unaltered calm. While the
outlook was still uncertain, more con
fident hopes were entertained of the
gradual resumption of activities in
financial and commercial lines which
have reflected most severely the shock
of the European war.
It was felt, however, that there wire
no immediate prospects of approach to
normal conditions relating to Inter
national credits and foreign trade.
These are the phases of the situation
over winch the financial district 1b now
concerned most greatly. Once a de
cisive naval engagement is fought and
control of the seas Is established un
questionably, it is believed the resump
tion of foreign trade on a considerable
scale will be possible.
Lifting of Embargo Aim.
Foreign exchange bankers met today
In an effort to devise means for lifting
the embargo on exportation of mer
chandise and to provide for payment
for It. but they found It Impossible to
formulate a definite plan of action. It
was said negotiations were in progress
for the establishment of a credit sys
tem in New York for Great Britain
similar to that arranged yesterday tor
the French government, but it was
thought that such action might not be
required in view of the steady improve
ment in conditions in England during
the last day or two.
There were Indications that the out
look was improving, so far as the po
sition1 of the out-of-town banks was
concerned. New Vork banks received
reassuring messages from correspond
ents In the larger interior cities which
showed that the tension was not 10
acute as It was a few days ago.
Loans Are Made Again.
An easier tone prevailed In the mar
ket for time money, and it was said
that the banks would leull more freely.
Limited amounts came into the open
market today and were loaned at 6
per cent for six months.
Canadian banks continued to deplete
their balances here and another $1,000,
000 was drawn from the sub-treasury
for shipment to the Dominion. No in
convenience to domestic borrowers 1ms'
resulted from the gradual shifting of
loans from Canadian institutions to lo
cal banks.
There was a marked improvement in
the commercial paper situation, and in
stitutions were slowly resuming the
purchase of paper. The rate for the
best names was 6 per cent. There were
indications that Interior institutions
would be in the market next wt'k for
paper.
