State Department Through its Diplomatic Agents in All European Coun- tries Prosecuting Work of Relief
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The per lection of plans to bring war -marooned Americans out of Europe. occupied the government relief board today. ord CTS for outfitting the army transports for relief voyages stand but for the present there will be no acceptance of Germanys offer of ocean liners to be put temporarily under the American flag. The state department had re- ceived no replies to it's suggestion to the nations at war, that the liners chartered for refugees be recognized as neutral. The belief was expressed. however, that favorable replies would soon be forthcoming. More definite knowledge of transportation facilities required was received from Ambassa- dor Gerard at Berlin, who cabled that there were 5000 Americans in Germany who wanted to return home immedi- atelv. With the transportation condi- tions from English ports steadily inn proving. American government off, cials will probably concentrate their eff forts toward providing ships for the refugees in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria and stranded tourists gathered in Mediterranean ports.
 The state department dispatches re- ported that all English lines are sail ing and that now it is possible to bring all Americans desiring to return to the United States. From France it is an- nounced that steamship companies are resuming their operations and the sit uation seems completely adjusted. Sec retary of War Garrison, says: Tt is possible to bring back all Americans in England and France and those who can get there by October 3rd. Our task
 now IS to secure transportation for refugees in other countries to France and England"

Pabal Condition
 Is Not AlQymimg
 So Says Physician
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

ROME, Aug lS.-Pope Plus is not in as serious condition as reported according to pr Marchiafavia, his physician.
 The pontGfs sisters and nieces are allowed to nurse him as in his previous illness, as that relieves him. and abstracts his mind from the gravity of the European situation because of which he has suffered great depression.
 Dr. Marchiafavia said There is nothing alarming in the condition of the pope. His indisposition would pass unnoticed except for the high office he holds. and his extreme age. His present indispOsition is much less grave than past illnesses.
 The pope is suffering from a simple cold, which invariably pro- duces hoarseness. accompanied by q slight bronchial catarrh. The cough and rise in temperature have caused some weakness If no complications occur, and there is no reason to fear this, a weeks rest will be sufficient to restore the pontiff to health.'
 The pope had a rather restless night. owing to his cough and diff culty in breathing. which awakened him frequently His weakness was enumerated with frequent nourish- ment, which he was able to retain. Today his temperature is normal, and he was able to sit for time in an arm chair, near the window He expressed a desire to resume his au- diences Friday, but it is not likely the doctors will sanction this plan.

Cabinet Fortnight Ago Urged Pres. Wilson to Send American Troops from Vera Cruz to Capi- tai to Prevent Anarchy
.CARBAJAL'S OFFER
 WAS REJECTED
We Could Have Had Mag dalena Bay and Other Concessions for Interven- ton at That Moment in Mexican Affairs
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Just how close the United States came to being involved in war with Mexico 8 fortnight ago was revealed today by high government officials. When Carranza abruptly rejected CarbaiaTs offers and ignored the United States diplomatic efforts, drastic measures were urged upon the president. A majority of his cabinet argued in favor of sending American troops from Vera Cruz to the capital to prevent expected an archy.
 The president stood firm, arguing that sending troops to Mexico City even on a peace mission, would pro- hably mean war with the approach. ing constitutionalist troops. A few days later Carbajal made overtures for American troops, promising through Minister Lujan, of Ca~bajal's cabinet, with Carbajars approval. a coaling station at Magdalena bay, the adjustment of the ChamizaI claims and other concessions
 The president resisted all these. finally sending Paul Fuller, a New York attorney, and personal friend. tn see both Villa and CarranZa. Fuller is now with Villa urging Villa to join Carranza in maintaining peace in Mexico.

Relief at Washington by British, But Not By Any Japanese, Assurance That the Conflict Will Be Con- fined to China Sea
GERMANY PROPOSES
 A WAY OUT OF WAR
Cession Directly Back to China of Kiau Chau Rather Than to Let Ja- pan Hold it in Trust for, Restoration
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The earn est determination of the United States government to keep this country from becoming involved in the European war is manifested in several ways. The president issued a special appeal to the American people calling on them to studiously refrain any expression or act that might reveal the slightest par tisanship toward the nations in con- flict
 White House officials denied that the kaiser's message contained any pro- test concerning the attitude of the American press toward Germany. It was confined entirely to the statement of the German emperors position. Of- ficials admitted there was nothing in It which might be construed as an in dication whether the emperor would at any future time accept a tender of good offices.
 The Japanese ultimatum demanding that Germany evacuate Kiau Chau and withdraw her fleet from the orient was uppermost in the attention of official Washington. notwithstanding the mul- titude of activities which the European war situation brought on all the gov ernment departments.
 Discussion was general as to how the interests of the United States might ultimately be affected, while there was careful reticence on all sides, it was obvious that feeling of relief followed assurances given at London that should Japan take action against Germany, such activity would be confined to the Chinese seas and German territory in eastern Asia and not against German insular possessions in the middle Pa cific where also the United States has islands of strategic importance.
 Baron Chinda, Japanese ambassador, had conference with Secretary Bryan but declined to talk about it. Colville Barclay. charge d'affaires of the Brit ish embassy, called immediately after ward and left with the secretary a copy of note from the British government announcing that any action taken by Japan would be confined to German territory in eastern Asia. The note was similar to that announced by the British information bureau last night
 The British charge sought informa ton about possible cable censorship, and was informed that the subject was still under consideration. Although in ternational lawyers and officials of the department of justice who are endeav- bring to find an impartial and legal adjustment of the situation, gave no intimation of the trend of their find ings. the predictions in some official quarters are to the effect that the cen- sorship of the wireless will be main tained, while the cables probably will be left in their present status
 Barclay said after his visit to MT. Bryan, every assurance had been given for the preservation of the integrity of China and the safeguarding of Ameri- can interests in the far east. He ex pressed an opinion of the declara- ton that aggressive action will be linn ited to the Chinese sea and that pro- tection by the Japanese of shipping is tO be literally interpreted.

 Six weak German regiments on a peace footing with some cavalry and artillery took Liege" says General Stein. "The brigades were mobilized at Liege, and there received reinforce ments of thir own reservs. Two other regiments came later Our mobiliza- ton Is just finished"
 Our enemies thought there were a hundred thousand German troops at Liege, and owing to commissariat diff ficultieS were unable to advance. This is a mistake. There are other reasons for the pause. The forward march will now go on. our enemies will find that the German force is well supplied with food and arms. The emperor has given his word that not another drop of blood will be sacrificed to take the Liege forts

MINNEAPOLIS, August 1S.-The recent advance in the price of flour here was not due to any arbitrary action of the Minneapolis millers, ac- cording to C. w. Sterling, special agent of the department of justice. who had completed an investigation of the local flour market.
 that the price of flour is controlled largely by the price of wheat seems very reasonable" said Sterling. The rise in wheat is due to the war. The problem for us is to ascertain if there has been any disproportion be- tween the rise of flour prices and wheat quotations

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
 IN AMERICAN FINANCES
A Greater Activity in the Foreign
 Exchange
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S-More activ ity was noted in foreign exchange to- day than at any time since the war began. This is accepted as evidence of further improvement in the general financial situation. Rates are firmer however, because a considerable part of the recent accumulations have been disposed of.
 Domestic monetary operations also were more numerous, money loans be- ing placed by local banks for interior institutions attracted by the prevail ing high rates. Fairly large sums were loaned for out of town banks at eight per cent. Mercantile paper of prime quality reflected better inquiry at six to seven per cent.
 Little ground for encouragement was offered by the official weather report, which told of increasing deteroriation to corn in states west of the MiSsissip- pi because of the continued drought. In fact, it is now generally recognized that all cereals except winter wheat have suffered severe reverses since the of llcldl July report. HIS CHdnSe IOullu reflection in a sensational advance for September wheat in Chicago.
 Indications of increasing confidence in the steel trade are found Sn the ad vance of one dollar per ton ordered by large independent manufacturer of wire products and the reported re sumption next week of a rolling mill plant in the middle west, after two years idlenesS. Although copper metal shows a firmer tendency, the precarious state of that industry was demonstrat- ed by reduced or suspended dividends, announced in the course of the day, to- gether with a further reduction of pro- duction.
 The committee which has been di- recting the affairs of the stock eX- change during it's enforced suspension was authority for the statement that the position of it's members is inher- ently sound. This has given rise to rumors of an early opening all of which are proven to have no foundation of fact. The exchange. it is declared, will not attempt to do any business except for cash so long as the British mora torium remains effective.
