It was Th'jraday, July 30, that the money panic wtruck Paris.

Stripped of Small Chang. Quite serenely 1 left the United Tress office at 7 p. m. after a day of war news, rumors of a coming 'French mobilization and the arrest of an editor who printed too much. I took a seat on a terrace facing th Cafe Cardinal, on the Grand boulevard It waa ene of the. biggest In the city. I had an appetizer and a cigar and asked to have one of my 100 franc notes changed. The restaurant was changing nothing larger than Louis' 1 4. pieces. ' I barely had the change, but paid my tilH, scraping my pockets of my last Sou to do It. "Has Monsieur the Money?" Then T went to Le Petit Riche, fair sized restaurant In the Rue Le Feletlwr. Being rather hungry, I ordered a somewhat Imposing meal. "Has monsieur the money to pay for his order?" Inquired the' waiter, re spectfully. "I beg monsieur's pardon, but ha he seen this," and he pointed to a line In red Ink at the. top of the menu card. "Customers not provided with the correct change will not be served," It read. There was nothing else but to get up and go. 1 hadn't the change. X,arg Bills Hot Changed. I found the same thing at Hunbln's In the Rue Druout, at Oauclalr's In th Rue De Richelieu, and at the fourth and fifth and sixth restaurant. All this time ray- hunger was grow ing. Then I tried the more preten tlotis places the Cafe de Rlche, the Cnfe Vlnnols, the Cafe American, the Cafe De La. fnix and the Grand cafe. At all-of them I, found the sign: "LarKer sums than 20 francs not changed' here." Or: "Customers not provided with change will not bo served." It was a desperate situation. Nor was It solved until I met a fellow correspondent in a similar predicament. The two of us went to the Cafe De Paris and had a $10 dinner between us. .Gets toad of Silver. We got our 50 franc dinner and a SO franc note. The next day at the bank I was quietly, almost secretly handed a 50 franc note and 10 silver 6 frano Pieces In exchange for a note for 100 francs. Though the' silver ' nearly pulled my clothes off I was never so proud in my life.

The difficulty was largely due to the fact that the thrifty French had changed all their paper money into coin and salted It away against war times.

Reports that the Germans had failed In an attempt to drive the Russians from Eydtkuhnen were received here with surprise to day, the announcement, which came indirectly from St. Petersburg, being the first news Italy bad had that !the town had been occupied by Russian troops. It is in east Prussia, near the fron- ' tier, and information that it had been captured Indicated that the Russians have had somo success, at least, on German soil, the news of which has j hitherto been suppressed. ; 1 The Germans, saiH to have included 1 both infantry and artillery, were de clared to have lost heavily. An unofficial Berlin dispatch stated that the kaiser's general staff ad- t mitted. many Germans had been killed and wounded in fights on the Russian frontier. Accounts were also received of an Austrian reverse on the river Dniester. This must have occurred In Austrian Galicia and suggested that the Rus- , sians were still attempting the cap ture of the provincial capital, Lem berg. It was said an Important battle was Imminent in Galicia. Austria, according to Information from reliable sources, is trying to keep Russia too busy for effective operations on the German frontier, so that Germany may be left free to deal with the French. The Russians, according to latest accounts, are beginning to make ma- i terial progress with their mobilization, j and are rushing men toward both uer man and Austrian frontiers.

Having finally drawn a war declara tion from Great Britain, it was as sumed that the Austrlans would now make a still more urgent request, or perhaps a demand, for aid. Small doubt was felt that Italv would again refuse. That this would bring upon It an Austrian and probably a German declaration of war was con sidered likely enough.
