Americans in Frankfort and Bad Kauheim will leave for Holland in or binary trains, four of which will de nart daily. Americans here hitherto have shown little disposition to go to Holland, as relatives and friends ar riving from there say that all the ho tels are full and it is impossible to get steamer passage before the end of Sep tember. Many Eager to Go. Henry Van Dyke, American Minis ter to the Netherlands, however, has advised Ambassador Gerard at Berlin that all Americans can ,easily find ac commodations in Holland. Many Amer icana arc now anxious to proceed to Holland, as they have letters of credit upon Knglish banks on which German banks refuse to pay, as financial con nections with England have been sus pended. In many cases, however, the German banks, especially In Frankfort. will make advances to well-known Americans without security. Among Americans here who leave on Wednesday are 56 persons without means, most of whom are German Americans, who will be aided by the American Kmbassy. 3115.

"The German has forgotten his learn ing." said the preachrer. "the French- j man his culture and the Engusnman his cosmopolitanism, while each leaps at the other's throat. The veneer of civilization has been stripped off and the savage, the old cave man, has rushed out, thirsty to plunder and to kill. "I do not believe that God Almighty makes many blueprints of the future. But the great principle of war and peace which burned in the hearts of the Old Testament prophets, and was found on the lips of the Son of God, is a truth applicable today. The pro uhets all foretold war. and then it conclusion, prophesied an era of great Deace. War. in all time, has been God's punishment for national sin; the irrindinir down of the poor, tne hoard ing of vast estates, the oppression of the needy. Peace is the era wnicn must finally dawn, when Christianity triumphs, and the will of God Is done on earth as It is in heaven." T 10 OF GRAIN SHIPPERS RELAXES Prediction Made Commerce Will Be Resumed From Pacific Ports Shortly. WAR IS ON LESSON TO BE W'iHT GERMANY', SAYS BERNARD SHAW.

FOE NO LONGER FEARED British From den Steamshin Clouehton. In Buenos Ajres, to Be La Immediately Others BY GEOREG BERNARD SHAW. LONDON. Aug. 11. Germany is so important a factor in the work of civi lization that even when at.war with her we must aim finally at the con servation of her power, to defend her Russian frontier. This need not discourage us in the field. On the contrary, we shall punch Prussia's head all the more gloriously if we do it for honor and not for malice. Then when we have knocked all the militarism out of her and taught her to respect us we can let her ud again. As to non-intervention, it Is merely or, insular superstition. The leaders of the modern labor movement knowl that labor politics is international and that, if militarism is to be struck down, a mortal blow must be aimed at Potsdam. Consider for a moment the mischief already done by this peace retrench ment reform superstition. Why was it that Asquith and Grey did not dare to tell the commons we had entered into a fighting alliance with France against Germany? Solelv that they were afraid that if they told the whole truth both the labor members and the non-interven tionists, as well as the anti-armament Liberals, would have revolted and have abandoned the Premier, and the mis chief of all this .was that it encour aged the continental conviction that we would not fight. This conviction, true enough, might have restrained France from declaring war, if France had wanted war. but this Is Just what France did not want. On tne otner hand, its effect on Ger many must have been disastrous. Ger many was the country that needed re straining, and the official prevarica tion by which the Liberal party was duped encouraged Germany to believe we would baek out in tne end ana thereby precipitated Germany s des perate rush at France. Had our government possessed a real modern foreign policy Asquith might have said furiously to Prussian militarism: 'If you attempt to smash France we two will smash you If we can. We have had enough of the Germany of Bis marck, which all the world loathes. and we will see whether we cannot re vive the Germany of Goethe and Bee thoven, which has not an enemy on earth." Can it be doubted that if this had been said resolutely, and with the vig orous support of all sections of the House, Potsdam would have thought twice before declaring war? Can it be alleged that anything could have happened worse than has happened? Instead of offering uermany a way out we drove her to desperation. Expect Orders to Sail. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16. (Spe cial.) That the tension which has existed among the grain shippers since the beginning of the European em broilment has begun to relax and that within a few weeks at most that grain cargoes would be leaving thiB and other Pacific Coast ports as usual a this season of the year, was declared today by J. P. Dowling. local man acer of Dodwall & Co., one of the largest British shipping Arms. Mr. Dowling. who is conversant with the grain situation, said that ship owners were preparing to load their vessels and that several of the ships which have been lying idle In this port would proceed to Port Costa and take on cargoes of barley. Apprebenslon Declared Abating. He said that the apprehension felt here owing to the reported presence outside the heads of the German Cruiser Lelpsic had begun to wear off and that it was his personal belief and that of other shipping men. that the war ves sel would not hinder British or French commerce and that the grain ships would be safe In leaving those ports for Pacific Coast. In support of Mr. Dowling's views, comes the decision of the Hind Itolph Company to send out the British liner Moana on schedule time Wednesday The Moana, which runs between this port and Sydney and carries valuable cargoes of merchandise as well as pas sengers would prove a rich prize and the fact the vessel's owners and agents express no fear for her safety strengthens the contention of the grain shippers. Ship Ready to Sail. Dodwell & Co. who are agents for the British steamship Cloughton, which arrived here today from Buenos Aires will dispatch her to Port Costa to load bailey immediately on the completion of discharging her present cargo. Other vessels of the grain fleet which are in port are the Edmund Rostand, Lord Templetown and Lord Lonsdale, all three of which are loaded and prob ably will receive orders to proceed to sea within a few days. The Harpathian, Anglo-Californian, Buffalon, Colony and Dunclutha are In readiness to load barley and will go to Port Costa with in the coming week. KAISER SHORT OF HORSES John Redmond Announces That Protec tion of Ireland Will Be Intrust ed to New Ocsaniaatlon. DUBLIN, Aug. 16. John E. Redmond, tho Irish Nationalist leader, in a speech today while presenting colors to the Maryborough corps of Irish vol unteers, referred to the enthusiasm tVilch had been aroused all over Ire land by his statement in the British Parliament that Irishmen of the north and south, whether Protestant or Catholic, were prepared to fight shoulder to shoulder to defend the Irish shores against a foreign foe and to preserve order.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS REBEL Execution or Lieader Causing Revolt In Empire, Says Dispatch. LONDON, Aug. 16.

SHIP PURCHASE FEARED LONDON UNEASY IN ADVANCE BE CAUSE OF RUMOR. American Acquisition of Fleet of Ger man Merchantmen Declared to Be Favorable to Teutons. LONDON, Aug. 16. (Special.) The reports that have reached here indicat ing the impending acquisition of a great German merchant fleet by Ameri cans have caused much uneasiness and there is a possibility it will cause irri tation in this country, and probably in the countries of all the allies. It is thought here ihat if there sud denly comes into being a great fleet of American steamships, the German food Question would be largely solved, for ships carrying the American flag would I nave tne iioeriy ui tne iugn oao might possibly enter the North Sea German ports. Certainly In the pres ent condition of affairs they could enter the Adriatic with complete freedom. In the event of a German sea victory th6 American ships would be most val uable to England, where the question of a food embargo would be much more serious than anything else In the wav of harm which Germany could do. Nevertheless, England gives no consideration at present to such a possibility as losing control of the seas. If the new law makes possible the purchase of the German ships at New York bv Americans, and a sale is then made, there is likely to be criticism here, possibly starting with assertions that Americans cannot resist me ay Deal to the almighty dollar. Some will say that the transfer is merely a Ger nan subterfuge. President Wilson's attitude of neu trality has been Dralsed here. It is felt, however, that if tne German ships thus obtained should begin carrying food to Germany, this would create a painful impression here, although it is admitted that the purchase is within the neutral rights of the United btates.

Fire which evidently started from the overheating of a bearing in the machinery on the third floor of the mill, which was run until 6 o'clock this' morning, was only discovered when the flames burst out of the top of the structure, about 10 o'clock. Without any provision for Are protec tion except a bucket brigade, nothing could be done to save the building. The fire rapidly spread to the engine house and warehouse adjoining of the mill. The elevator which was built into the mill had a capacity of 90,000 bushels, but had not been tilled to capacity. A call for help was sent to La Grande and a special train and several automobiles carrying volunteers left there at once. Assistance could be given, however, only in protecting other buildings which were threatened by the flames and flying sparks. That the town was not wiped out was due probably to a favorable wind. The mill, which was one of the largest In the valley, with a capacity of 200 barrels daily, is one of a string of Ave owned by Kiddle Bros., of Island City State Senator Kd Kiddle being one of the owners. While It Is not probable that the mill .will be rebuilt this season, Imbler is one of the best wheat receiving points in the Grand Ronde Valley, and that the burned structure will be replaced before next season is highly probable.
