Aug. 19-Many Ameri cans are loath to leave the German cap ital according to a newspaper man who has Just reached this city from Berlin after a long trip. In some instances they declare they are quite comfort able. "Evervthing foreign has been eradi cated from Berlin during the last fortnight." says the newspaper man. - V shop in Friedrichstrasse which was t ailed the Prince of Wales was well nigh demolished by a mob. Every where French signs were torn down. A restaurant in Kurfersten-Damm was destroyed by a crowd after the orches tra had played a Russian air.

Morgan, the American Consul-General at that city. The party left Hamburg on a special train provided by the German govern ment, and a large crowd of Germans gathered at the station and cheered the departing Americans. Similar scenes occurred at all stations at which the train stopped. "I have nothing but praise for the conduct of the Germans toward us." said Mr. Martin tonight.

The special train carried virtually all the Americans who were stranded In Hamburg. LIEGE FORTS HOLD OUT (Continued From First Pate.) the pretext that signals were given from the towers. Holland to Halt Invasion. Along the border of Brabant and Feeland Dutch soldiers are digging ln trenchmens and clearing away every thing that might afford shelter to the Invaders. Farmhouses and richly laden orchards are destroyed in the presence of their despairing owners. On all sides Holland is preparing to resist Invasion with all its strength. Peasants are in constant dread lest their fields be Inundated against the enemy, for the menace of invasion is undoubtedly treat. The allied armies appear to be In viting the Germans to go northward. If this advance takes place and the ,1 Germans are hard pressed it is likely that in spite of themselves they will be forced across the Dutch border, where the Dutch forces are strong and could disarm great numbers of beaten and fleeing men. ' All reports here agree that up to the present the French and Belgians have been fighting with far greater ardor and daring than the Germans. How ever, should the invading country be come the invaded country, as is ex pected by the Belgians, the psycho logical situation would be reversed in favor of the Germans. Red Cross Kept Busy. In Tilburg, a town in Dutch Brabant, the muffled roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry are heard incessant ly. Red Cross detachments are con tinually bringing in wounded from across the border. Two German naval officers in a motorboat landed on the Dutch coast ostensibly to repair the machinery of the craft. The Dutch frontier guard immediately arrested, disarmed and sent them to Alkmaar to be interned until the end of the war. Reports are circulating that the British have landed an army corps on the north coast of Germany. The only circumstance lending color to the rumor is the fact that telegraphic com munication with Germany, which had been in full operation through Winter swljik, near the Prussian border, was suddenly cut off.

(Continued From First rage.) that the Pope confided in him his last wishes. Cardinals Are Notified. Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary, telegraphed to all the car dinals, notifying them of the grave condition from which the Pope was suffering. Later the ringing of church bells announced to the faithful the exposition of the holy sacrament and calling them to prayer for the restora tion of the pontiff to health. This NOTEWORTHY ACTS OF POPE PIUS X AFFECTING UNITED STATES. Created Archbishop John M. Farley, of New York, and Archbishop Wiuliam H. O'Connell, of Boston, cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, on November 11, 1912. giving to this country for the first time more than one cardinal. ... Transferred the United States from the jurisdiction of the Congre gation of the Propagation of the Faith, which has charge of ecclesi astical affairs in missionary countries, to the Congregation of the Consistorv. which supervises the activities of the church in countries where the faith has flourished for a long time. The Pontiff said he did this because he had long realized the "marvelous growth of Catholicity" in this country, it having already established itself upon a firm footing. . Sent a rich bishop, Giovanni Bonzano. here to be successor to Car dinal Diomede Falconio as apostolic delegate, with headquarters at Washington. . . ' . Renewed the privilege previously conceded to the Catholic Lnlver sity of Washington of seeking assistance by an annual collection taken up in all the churches of the United States.

The Pope's last illness began almost coincidentally with the great war in Europe. Those close to him believe that grief over the situation brought on the final crisis and so overwhelmed him that he was unable in his 30th year to withstand still another attack of his old enemy, gouty catarrh. Ill-health had been the pontiff's lot fnr manv vears. and intermittently the attacks have been so serious that the world was prepared several times to hr of his Dassing. In the course of the Summer there had been numer ous denials from the Vatican that his inHianosltion was serious. As late as August 10 last, upon the occasion of the eleventh anniversary ot nis coro nation. Pope Pius granted numerous audiences. War of Nations Always In Mind. Two days later It became known that he had canceled practically all en gagements. His attendants reported that he was unable to work and that he sat listless and silent for hours, evidently brooding over the great clash of arms in Europe. His doctor. Dr. Marchlafava, ordered his holiness to bed on August 16, when it was announced that the war and the intense heat in Rome had combined to depress him. In bed he continued to dream of the confjlt by night and to discuss it by day. Peace Exhortation Just Issued. The pontiff earlier had addressed the following exhortation to the world: "At this moment, when nearly the whole of Europe is being dragged into the vortex of a most terrible war. with its present dangers and miseries and the consequences to follow, the very thought of which must strike every one with grief and horror, we, whose care is the life and welfare of so many citizens and peoples, cannot but be deeply moved and our hearts wrung with the bitterest sorrow. "And in the midst of this universal contusion and peril, we feel and know that both fatherly love and apostolic ministry demand of us that we should ,itv, oil earnestness turn the thoughts of Christendom thither 'whence cometh help,' to Christ, tne rnnce oi Peace' and the most powerful media tor between God and man.

Among the important changes In church government and discipline wrought by Pope Pius X have been: Rpnrranizatlon of the Roman Curia, made up of the various sacrea coi of Cardinals, who assist the leges Pope in the administration of church affairs. Revival of the venerable tribunal of the Rota. Inauguration of the codification of the Canon law. Transfer of the church In the United of the States from the Jurisdiction Drooaganda, as a missionary land. to the immediate supervision of the Cardinal Secretary of State in the Vatican itself. Establishment in Rome of a school of higher biblical studies. Establishment of confraternities, ordered for the teaching of the cate chism to every parish. Church music reformed.

"From the palace of the Vatican, the 2d day of August, 1914. "PIUS X, Pontifex Maximus." The Pope was much moved on hear ing from Venice echoes of the cannon ade in the Adriatic. "The bones of the Doges must thrill in their sepulchres at the familiar sound of battle, recalling the heroic days of old," he said. "I shall not cease to implore God to put a stop to this inhuman butchery," he declared. His doctors had to deal with this mental condition as well as his physical suffering. Arrangements were made by which Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary, would render His Holiness a daily report on the war situation. The Pope desired to see some way in which he might exert his influence to check the blood shed, and he was the more affected be cause any action seemed useless. Public Prayer Asked For. At the beginning of the European crisis he had addressed an exhortation to all the Catholics of the world, ask ing them to list their souls toward Christ, who alone was able to aid, and ho called upon the clergy to offer pub lic prayer. The break between Austria and faer via from the first became a source of great grief to him, for the Vatican was most friendly toward both nations. He was inexpressibly shocked, he said, at the assassination of ArAduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, who like all the Hapsburgs, was an ardent Catholic and was sym pathetic toward little Servla, with which the Vatican had but recently concluded a friendly concordat. The Pope's views on peace, embodied in a speech delivered at the consistory at which he created 13 new cardinals last May. constituted such a remark able document that the Carnegie Peace Union, founded in February by Andrew Carnegie, with an endowment of $2,- 000,000, decided to begin among the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church its educational activities in behalf of disarmament and arbitration by send ing to each of the 23.000 priests of the United States and Canada a copy of this allocution. Reference Made to Americans. In It the Pope referred to "men of distinction and force planning schemes for preventing the calamities of revo lutions and the slaughter of war and for insuring the blessing of peace," ARCHBISHOP CHRISTIE SAYS PIUS X. WAS ONE OF GREATEST POPES. Judged by his works, Pope Pius X. was one of the greatest Popes the Catholic Church has ever had, according to Arch bishop Christie, who expressed great grief last night when in formed of the death of the Pope. "I am indeed sorry to hear of his death," said Archbishop Christie. "I consider that with his demise we lose one of the greatest men the church has ever known. I consider him great by reason of his work. He was always active in church work and was always devising something for the betterment of humanity. He was great in every respect. "I was a visitor at the Vatican eight years ago, at which time I had an interview with the Pope. I found him a fatherly, kind hearted old gentleman, always with a smile and always with a pleasing disposition." which, coupled with the fact that he spoke at length with the three Amer ican cardinals. Gibbons, Farney and O'Connell. was interpreted as referring to the efforts of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan in behalf of universal peace. "Today," he said, "peace or war in society and the state does not depend so much on the rulers as on the multi tudes. Deprived of the light of truth revealed by God, unused to the discip line of Christ, what wonder if the mul titudes, the prey of blind passions, rush to the common ruin, instigated by the clever agitators who seek nothing but their own advantage." GIBBONS UN-LIKELY TO GO Cardinal May Be Prevented by War From Attending Consistory. BALTIMORE, Aug. 19. Cardinal Gibbons is spending a .short vacation at Spring Lake, N. J. It was regarded as doubtful whether the cardinal will take part in the conclave that will choose the new Pope. According to the rules of the church, the conclave must open 10 days after the death of the Pope, and the Baltimore preiate could not reach Rome because of the war in less than 13 days from New lork.
