The general opinion Is that the Oer mans will only pass through the city or at the most make a short stay there. The only suggestions of animation in the place are caused by the arrival of peasants who are abandoning the surrounding villages.

Dr. Franklin Martin, of Chicago, wno left here a week ago for Munich, to get his niece. Mies Stone, also of Chicago, returned today to London. His trip was suc cessful. Dr. Martin tells a story full of Inter esting experiences on tne i-ouunoi He attempted first to make his way to Munich by way of Paris and Berne, hut was not successful. He was unable to proceed beyond Paris. Stories related to him of the hard ships endured by Americans marooned in Germany impelled him to make a second attempt, and in company with John Moran, of Xew York. Dr. Martin started again through Holland. There be fell in with S. Bergmann, of New York, who had Just spent three days in an English prison at Winchester, owing to his inability to prove his American citizenship. Germans Act Promptly. "We, as Americans," said Dr. Mar tin, "had little difficulty in passing through the German lines, but Mr. Bergmann was stopped until finally he exhibited his release from the Eng lish prison on wnich his photograph was pasted. "At Crefeld we procured an auto mobile to take us to Cologne. Through the offices of Mr. Bergmann. who on arriving at Cologne, learned that 600 of his automobiles in a factory in Ber lin had been commandeered by the government for war purposes, we ob tained the necessary permits to pro ceed. We covered over 1100 miles on Saturday and Sunday. "During the Journey we were actual ly within the lines .of the German army. At one point between Cologne and Crefeld we passed intrenchments being rapidly thrown up by thousands of troops. Intrenchments extended on both sides of our highway and as far as the eye could reach there were masses of troops with field guns and munitions. Moving in the direction of Belgium, between Cologne and Bingen, was a continuous line of troops, pro vision wagons and ambulances. 6000 French Prisoners Shown. "At Frankfort 6000 French prisoners were pointed out to us. "The last stage of our Journey was the most difficult of all. As we were traveling on a war highway in the Immediate rear of a great battlefield, we were stopped time and again. Our success in getting through was due largely to the resourcefulness of our chauffeur. Among other things which helped us was a little German flag on the radiator of the car. It seems .that an order of which we were Ignorant had been issued by Emperor William that German flags were not to be used on automobiles except those in service of military officials and members of the royal "family. "At Coblenz we had to make our way through enthusiastic crowds who were watching the passage of trains loaded with Belgian prisoners. We constantly met ambulances filled with wounded soldiers. Americans Thought Safe. "Judging from my trip and the ex periences of Miss Stone in Munich, Americans are as safe in Germany as In Chicago or New York. We did not parade the American flag, because we realized many persons were seeking the protection of the Stars and Stripes who were not entitled to it. "It is impossible to make the trip we did without being profoundly im pressed with the thoroughness of the preparations Germany Is making for every contingency that can arise on land. The morals of "the people was inspiring. They expect to win and they have no thought of turning back or of failure. "In three weeks I have been an eye witness to mobilization in France, England and Holland. It is difficult to say which preparations I admired the most. They all have been so mag nificent, yet so different. In Paris It was 'On to Berlin." in Germany it is ouietly assumed that it is 'London. Paris, St. Petersburg.' In London It Is an impressive but ominous silence." AMERICAN TANKER HALTED f Continued From First Page.) the Mazatlan, said that the coal was consigned to Guaymas, Mexico, by F. G. Braue A Co., local exporters. Bley admitted the coal was bought originally for the German cruiser Leip zig, but declared it subsequently was purchased by Braue & Co. Bley today added to his verbal de mand for clearance papers, which was refused, a formal demand In writing. '"I shall act on this demand as I did the verbal one," said Collector Davis. "I told the representatives of the Ma zatlan that I would refuse clearance until they had presented evidence proving the change of ownership of the coal. As yet no such evidence has been presented." Action Taken Shows Belief. "Do you believe the coal is now in tended for the Leipzig?" was asked. "The fact that we are holding up the Mazatlan's departure Is the best evidence of that," was Davis' reply. "If the written demand for clearance papers Is denied," said Bley, "well, wait until then. But I will say this the Mazatlan is going to sea, and soon, too." Meanwhile William H. Tidwell, spe cial agent of the Treasury Depart ment, conducted an Investigation Into the ownership of the coal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Officials here know nothing of the detention of the Mexican steamer Mazatlan at San Francisco, with her cargo of coal sup posed to be intended for a German cruiser. It is said, however, that there was no warrant for the detention of a merchant vessel loaded with coal In tended for a. belligerent, though, of course, such a ship risks seizure on the high seas. Secretary Daniels sail tonight that the administration of the neutrality laws rested with the civil department of the Government, and that he had confined his efforts to an Instruction to Rear-Admiral Pond, commanding the Naval forces in Pacific Coast wa ters, to assist these officials when railed on" by proper authority without awaiting specific instructions from Washington in each case. y J r (MSMBSMWT " qMsMsmsW SKk JoSfe MnHW Miff 'Sfl-'ife j 1 : sex,.

BARLEY BEGINS TO MOVE British Steamer With 7000-Ton Car go Is Expected to Sail Today for French Ports French Bark Ready to Get Away. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) The tie-up of foreign shipping out of San Francisco, caused by the Eu ropean war situation, Is beginning to relax. Two vessels are already on their way to Europe, laden with California barley, others are preparing to clear and before long the greater part of the 800,000 tons of Pacific Coast barley which has been tied up in warehouses here for two weeks, will be on its way to Europe. This relaxation in the shipping tie up Is due to the recent decision of the London marine underwriters, Includ ing Lloyds, to quote war risk on all vessels except thoso flying the Hags of Germany or Austria. The two vessels on the way to Eu rope with barley are the Norwegian steamer Gurnsey, bound for Falmouth, England, and Lie Danish steamer Transvaal, bound for St. Vincent Island in the South Atlantic. If present plans are carried out, the British steamer Lord Lansdale, with 7000 tons of the choicest Coast barley, will be on her way tomorrow, bound for French ports. The British bark Lord Templeton, loaded with 3000 tons of barley, is ex pected to clear soon for Queenstown. She is practically ready to sail. The French bark Edmond Rostand is still tied up in the bay, loaded with "000 tons of barley. The date of her probable clearance has not been fixed. WHEAT OFF FOR SWITZERLAND Purchase of Other Supplies to Fol low if Cargoes Arrive. WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. More than 1,000,000 bushels of American wheat are on the way to Switzerland in Brit ish bottoms the shipment of three cargoes having been arranged by Dr. Charles Paul Hubscher, Charge of the Legation here. Arrangements have been made to allow the passago through France and Italy of foodstuffs intended for Switzerland. If the American wheat bought by Switzerland reaches its destination safely, the Swiss government, it was learned today, probably will purchase all its coal and otner supplies in the United States during the hostilities in Europe. Dr. Rltter. the Swiss Minister, who came to New York from Washing ton at the outbreak of the war, an nounced a meeting would be held to day In the Swiss home here to arrange an appeal to Swiss-born residents of the United States, about 160,000. to contribute to the general Red Cross fund of Switzerland. In case the warring nations refuse to take advantage of Switzerland's of fer, which is doubtful. Dr. Rltter said, the money raised will be used to pur chase food In this country for shipment to Europe, where It will be distributed in Switzerland and among the desti tute women and children.

PRIDE IN LINEAGE HELD CIRCUS PERFORMER GIVES MATER NAL GRANDMA CREDIT. Barnum A Bailey's Circus Opens Tuesday with Noted Artists or Descendants in Roles. One hears a great deal about the aristocracy of the stage, but little of the aristocracy of the "sawdust arena." The reason for this, perhaps, is that the circus is not continuously in the eye of the public, while the stage is omnipresent. With the circus the sea son is short and quickly does it spread its wings and cover the country. The real aristocracy of the amusement world, however, is tound in the circus. "I saw you ride the other night," said a young woman in a group that met Ella Bradna after a performance of the Barnum & Bailey circus. "I wish I could ride as well as you do; I think you're a really great equestrienne." "Thank you," replied Miss Bradna. "My maternal grandmother was a really great equestrienne." The flash in her eye denoted the great pride she felt in her lineage. While the aristoc racy of the stage isfast becoming a memory, this is due to the cnanges made by time. With the Barnum & Bailey circus, which comes to Portland Tuesday and Wednesday, there are a great many performers who go back from two to eight generations; the Davenports, Vic toria and Orrin, are well-known circue artists. Orrin's father, John Daven port, was one of the stars of his day, and bo was his grandfather, Henry. Lupeta Perea, a Spanish girl, who does an amazinz single trapeze act, traces her circus lineage back four genera tions. At one time her grandfather owned and managed a small circus in Spain, while she received her training In old Mexico under her father, at one time a performer. John Ducander, per haps the most accomplished high school horseman in the world, at one time owned a small traveling circus in Russia. Meeting with business re verses, he was for a number of years riding instructor under the patronage of the Czar. Later his services were utilized by Count Ahrnfelt, of Finland. Ducander's people for generations back tiave been horse-trai..ers and circus performers, and he is one of the most eminent members of the circus Sorosis. TRAFFIC DISCS FAILURE No Attention Paid Safety Device. Says H. W. Holmes. Discs as a means of regulating traf fic at street intersections in the busi ness district are a failure. Following tho experiment with the "Safety First" disc at Sixth and Alder streets, H. W. Holmes, chief of the municipal bureau of highways and f ridges, oast the disc into the waste basket yesterday. "It is certain that something is nec essary to improve traffic conditions at intersections, but this method is a fail ure. Drivers failed to heed the disc, which had on it in big letters the words 'Keep to the right.' They al most invariably kept to the left in making turns." 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening and 9 o'clock other evenings is the clos ing hour for accepting classified ads. for proper classifications for the next day's issue.

' BRUSSELS, SUGAR PRICE DROPS Market Quotation Goes Down 50 Cents During Day. $7.55 WHOLESALE FIGURE Mysterious Speculator, However, Offers Quantity to Outlying Gro cers for $7.20 Coffee Is Still Holding Firm. The uncertainty of prices in war times was shown oy the sudden drop of 50 cents a hundred In sugar quota tions yesterday. No explanation was given of the decline, which is supposed to be a reaction from the extreme ad vance at the opening of the week. The wholesale price of sugar in Portland now is $7.55. Telegrams received by brokers told of a decline of only 25 cents at New York, but at all points on the Pacific Coast the reduction was 50 cents. Raw sugar in the East has declined half a cent a pound, which weakened the mar ket for refined sugar. No predictions are made by jobbers, but they would not be surprised if the market should again advance. At any rate, cheap sugar Is not looked for. Speculators who sought to take ad vantage of the rising price of sugar and bought up large quantities of it are making vigorous efforts to sell. Their fears that the market will de cline are Indicated by offers to sell at $7.20 a sack delivered. Grocers outside of the business dis trict were invited to buy at this figure Wednesday. At that time the quota tions were J8.05. The offers to sell were made by tele phone, by an unidentified person. Several saues are said to have been made, all on a cash basis. While the sugar market is wobbling the coffee market is holding firm. Said an authority in this line: "The coffee market in New York, after war was declared, and after a temporary drop, advanced 2H cents on ordinary grades. On coffees like Mochas, which are short, the advance was 4 cents, and on high grade fancy Javas 3 cents. The reason was the supply in the United States was only enough for six or eight weeks. "Everyone in the coffee business fig ures that the eventful outcome will be a decline in prices, but In the mean time houses doing an active business, which necessitates the keeping up of their stocks, are compelled to pay the market price, and such houses have made a slight advance In their prices, the greatest being 1 cent a pound." MORE AUSTRIANS CALLED New Mobilization Order Issued for Rest of Fighting Force. LONDON', Aug. 21. In a dispatch from Amsterdam the correspondent of the Reuter Telegram Company trans mits an official communication from Vienna, saying that a new mobiliza tion order calls all the reservists of the first class, now at work harvesting, as well as the reservists of the second class and the men1 in the landsturm to the colors tor August 24. The first and second class of the Hungarian landwehr have been ordered to mobilize on the same date, as have also the recruits of 1914, and all the men In the Austrian and Hungarian landsturm up to the age of 42 years. a Rule Keeps Mlillion in Country. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.

Thousands of applications for foreign money orders i.re being reject ed daily, says the statement, because the amounts are too large. Italio-American Ocean Service Ex pected to Resume Soon Situa tion in Switzerland Easier. Americans in Germany Safe. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Arrange ments were virtually completed today by the National Board of Relief to transfer to Americans In England the total of all funds deposited to their credit at the State and Treasury De partments. Negotiations by cable led to an an nouncement tonight that the Bank ot England will make payments in gold to Americans with proper credentials, and that these payments will be drawn against deposits made with its branch in Canada. The board will deposit gold to cover the payments to be made In the Ottawa branch. France to Aid Americans. To date about $1,500,000 has been de posited in the Government departments here for Americans abroad. How much of this amount is yet unpaid was not known tonight, but the balance will be wiped out quickly through the new arrangement. The French government has notified the State Department that it will ar range to move all Americans now In Switzerland to French seaports, and the probability that they can get across the channel to England anu uieuto brought home has lightened one of the board's burdens. Secretary McAdoo decided today to deposit money with the Assistant United States Treasurer at New York to aid destitute Americans who reach that port from Europe. The secretary said that criticism of the way in which the relief work is being carried on was due to interruptions to the cable ser vice. J. L. Wilmeth, chief clerk of the Treasury, and its representative abroad in tire relief work, has cabled that the situation la well in hand. Mr. Wil meth, preparing to leave for Holland, placed $300,000 at the disposal of the American Ambassador in London, and $100,000 with army paymasters in the relief work. Reports that reach the board indi cate there are about 2000 Americans in Italy, but that the Itallo-Amerlcan transatlantic service will probably be resumed at once. Americans in Uer manv now are able to get into Holland and "thence to England. Tracing Americans DifficiiIT. The American Consul at Berne, Swit zerland, cabled tho State Department today as follows: "Financial situation easier for cash ing travelers' checks and letters of credit. Owing to the continuous change of residence of Americans in Switz erland, many departures for Italy and France and England, and their neglect to notify officers of change of address, difficulty is experienced in finding the person about whom inquiries have been made." The American Consul at Coburg, Ger many, cabled that it is impossible to find many Americans about whom in quiry has been made, as practically all of them have left for North Germany. The American Consul at Dresden re ported that many Americans about whom inquiry has been made have never reached there. He added: "All Americans in Germany are safe."

Boyer, of the American med ical corps has joined the relief com mittee herev He left Brussels Wednes day, where he was on relief work. Ma jor Boyer says the resident committee got every possible American out of Brussels Wednesday and was prepared to protect Americans whose business interests forced them to stay there.

He left Liege last Friday to make a report at Brussels to Brand Whitlock, American Minister to Belgium. After concluding his mission at Brussels, the Vice-Consul was unable to re-enter Liege, although he tried to gain access to the city on all sides. Mr. Duras said today he did not know whether Liege had capitulated. He said all sorts of rumors were In circulation In Holland, but that there was no defi nite information as to conditions in Liege. Most of the American tourists left Belgium several days ago, but Mr. Duras said many foolishly had rushed into Switzerland, where conditions were unsatisfactory. He found Americans well cared for in Holland, where many were getting accommodations on ships sailing for America. Mr. Duras Is under orders to proceed to the American consulate at St. Peters burg. He will be unable to cross Ger many and the Baltic, but will try to get through on the railway route from Bergen. Norway.
