LONDON". Aug. 16. 11:11 P. M. An
Associated Press dispatch from Berlin
via Copenhagen states that the return
of the Americans homeward will now
proceed more speedily, as railway traf

the larger centers of Germany.

400 Americans. Other refugees will
proceed on three trains, each carrying
400 persons.
Sixty to Leave Munich.
Sixty Americans will leave Munich

Berlin for Holland on Wednesday will
carry 400 Americans, including 60 from
Dresden.
Americans in Frankfort and Bad
Kauheim will leave for Holland in or
binary trains, four of which will de

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

Holland, as they have letters of credit
upon Knglish banks on which German
banks refuse to pay, as financial con

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.

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.

DUBLIN, Aug. 16. John E. Redmond,
tho Irish Nationalist leader, in a
speech today while presenting colors

unteers, referred to the enthusiasm
tVilch had been aroused all over Ire

Irish shores against a foreign foe and
to preserve order. He added:
"I have in my possession and will
shortly be able to present to the Irish
Volunteers several thousand rifles.
"I have InCorniation that the British
government, which has publicly da
dared its intention of intrusting the
defense of Ireland to the Irish volun
teers, is about to arm, equip and drill
large numbers of them, and 1 believe
the day is near when every Irish vol
unteer will have a rifle in his possession."

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

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

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

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.
