WASHINGTON, August 7.-Obser- vations of strict neutrality by the United States in the European war, especially as |. to the movements of foreign ships in American waters, gave the Washington government most concern today.
 Special instructions were issued by the department of commerce which may have an important effect on the movement of reservists from the United States. What amounts to military expeditions from Ameri- can soil will in each case be p.ohib- ited, in accordance with President Wilson's neutrality proclamation. State, treasury and commerce de- rartment officials were absorbed to . day in deciding the numerous tech nicalities which have arisen in con nection with foreign-owned ships, such as the Olympic and the Vater- land, so that it may be established definitely whether they are being "eonverted for war purposes"
 The relief measures for Americans ] in Europe are working smoothly.

This selling, it is said, was for the pur- pose of obtaining gold With vir- tual embargo on gold exports now effective, it is thought that Europe has no further reason for dumping securities on this market. The com mittee of five felt it highly danger ous to reopen the stock market un-
 til financial skies cleared, particular
 ly regarding the credit situation and foreign exchange. It was stated au- thoritatively regarding the credit sit
 uation, that they would be guided in
 actions by the judgment of the most
 prominent financial interests of the
 country, not by pressure from inn
 patient members of the exchange. The general financial situation today was one of unaltered calm.

STRICT NEUTRALITY MUST
 BE OBSERVED BY UNITED
 STATES IN EUROPEAN WAR

The assurance that the Tennessee and the North Carolina, as well as tEe vessels to bring Americans out of Europe, will be admitted to ports of the countries at war brought re- lief to officials. The two warships are bound, it is said, for Falmouth, England. There portions of the enormous store of treasure aboard the Tennessee will be placed on the North Carolina. One of the vessels then will go to northern continental ports, while the other steams into the Mediterranean.
 Diplomatic dispatches contained little information about the fighting in Europe beyond what has been published. The French and Russian governments acknowledge the receipt of the tender of good offices"
 They are looking toward mediation but gave no hint as to their attitude toward it's acceptance. No word has yet been received as to whether ol rot President Wilson's message to Emperor Wilson actually reached him.

 Events before Liege are considered a curtain-raiser and that Belgium will once more be the country where the destinies of Europe will be decided.
 Some wounded Belgians, .eye-Witnesses of the fight ing, say they saw Germans moved down by hundreds in front of the entrench- ments and entanglements by the Belgian gun and rifle fire, but that they were replaced as fast as they fell by others who crawled for ward like weasels. In cer- tain places the ground was covered with dead, tn c burial of which, it is said, will take a week.

German Charge d'Affaires Says Sir Edward Grey Demanded Bottling up of Fleet-Claims France Vio- lated Belgian Neutrality
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

NEW YORK, Aug. Prior to Germany's attack on Liege, Sir Ed ward Grey tried to impose on Ger many conditions which could only be obtained by successful war; accord ing to statement by Haniel Von Haimhausen, head of the German embassy in the absence of Count Von Bernstorff, mbassador. These con- ditions would if accepted, he said, have led to complete inactivity on the part of the German fleet.
 The statement of the German charge daffaires was prompted, he said, by the nearly complete absence of news from official sources in the fatherland owing to present Euro pean conditions including cable cen sorship.
 Tt is erroneous to assume" MT. Haimhausen said, that the English declaration of war was exclusively caused by Germany's invading Bel gium. Negotiations at London pre- ceded the German attack on Liege. During these negotiations, Sir Ed ward Grey promised that England would remain neutral only under the following condition:
 '1-Germany is not allowed to com init an act of hostility against the i French coast in the North sea-
 "2-German troops are not allowed to pass through Belgian territory. oil ed to attack Russia from the Baltic sea-
 ITO the question put by the gov ernment whether Great Britain would undertake to respect Belgian neu trality during the whole war, no an- swer was given.
 Sir Edward tried to impose condi- Great Britain without running any risks all the benefits which it could have obtained only by a successful naval war The acceptance of these conditions would have led to the bot ting up of the whole German fleet forcing it to inactivity.
 Knowing on the other hand, that | ficers crossed the Belgian frontier 1T about fifty motor cars, running up tt Liege, which was a fragrant violation of Belgian neutrality. Further know ing that Antwerp was ready to oper it's most important harbor to tho British fleet and landing corps, Ger many was reluctantly compelled tt
 refuse compliance with the Britis l conditions"

BRUSSELS, Aug. '. Lieutenant General Len nan, governor of Liege, has not yet replied to the re- quest of the Germans for an armistice. Trains filled with wounded and fugitive non-cOmbatants from Liege and neighboring towns ar rived this morning. Mill tary trains with prisoners were sent from Liege to Antwerp. The Bel gia Il troops appeared to be ill the best of spirits when the train left Liege. They said that if there had not been ten Germans to one Bel gian not a single German would have got through the lines. The Belgians were partly exhausted by fifty hours of continuous fight ing.
 German prisoners, whom the correspondent question: ed, freely acknowledged the courage and tenacity of the Belgian troops. The pris- OnerS were treated with

NEW YORK, Aug. Wall street reports that the Stock Exchange would soon reopen met with prompt and authoritative denials.
 The committee appointed to main tain active supervision over Stock Exchange affairs during the period of suspension made the following state ment:
 The special committee of five will not recommend to the governing committee re-opening of the exchange until in their judgment, the financial situation warrants it. As stated be- fore, ample notice will be given of the proposed re-opening." The statement was made primarily be- cause it was felt that reports of an early re-opening, if allowed to spread unchallenged, would give alarm to brokers, investors, bankers and busi- ness men throughout the country. It is known that pressure has been brought to bear upon the governors lby some members for an early

If congress would authorize it, we could in a few days use four large collierS for carrying freight. Each would have a capacity of 29,000 bales of cotton or 100000 bushels of wheat.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, August The nominations of Paul M. Warburg, of New York, and Frederic A. Delano, of Chicago, as members of the fed eral reserve board, were confirmed by the senate tonight. With the con firmation of Warburg and Delano,
 the new banking board is now com plete and can proceed at once to the organization of the reserve system unde, the new currency law.
 Other members of the board are: w P. G. Harding, of Birmingham; Adolph C. Miller, of San Francisco:
 Charles S Hamlin, of Boston; with
 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency
 Williams as ex-officio members. The
 confirmation of the New York and
 Chicago members came at the close
 of a five-hour debate most of the time being consumed by Senator
 Bristow, of Kansas, who devoted his
 speech to an attack on Warburg,
 whose nomination he opposed from
 the beginning.
 In the course of the debate Senator ! BristOw and Senator Stone of Mis- . souri, became involved in a heated personal argument which for a time 1 looked threatening. The senators finally subsided at the urgent re- quest of their respective colleagues. Eleven senators voted against Warburg, only one of them, Lane, of oregon, being a democrat Bris-
 tow was the only senator to vote
 against Delano. Bristow sought in
 vain to have the senate make pub
 lie the testimony taken in the hear ing of Warburg before the banking and currency committee.

Official Statement from Berlin Describes the At tempt on Fortress as Unsuccessful and an "Act of Heroism"

The siege of Liege is the outstanding feature of the European war. Latest ad- vices received by way of London in the form of of ficial dispatches say that Liege still holds out against the attacks of the German army of the Mouse. The Germans have asked for a twenty-four hour armistice to bury their dead, but the governor of Liege, Lieuten- ant General Lennan, has not acceded to this request, so far as is known.
 On authority of the Bel gian war ministry, German casualties in the battle around Liege number 25,000, according to their own ad- mission. An official state ment from Berlin described the attempt on the Liege fortress as unsuccessful and the assault of the Germans as "a unique act of hero ism," and added that it will have not the least influence on the large operations of the German army.
 German diplomats have been using their utmost ef- forts to win Italy to their side by negotiations and by direct appeal to King Vie tor Emmanuel, but without success. The Italian am bassador in London, in thanking a great assembly, including several peers and members of parliament, which gathered in front of the embassy, said that Italy had declared her neutrality and would adhere to it.
 Winston Spencer Church ill, first lord of the admiral ty, denied that there had been an engagement be- tween German and British fleets in the North Sea.

GERMANS PLEAD FOR TIME TO
 BURY THEIR DEAD AT L|ECE
NEWS OF WAR
 TOLD IN BRIEF


 ill, first lord of the British admiralty, declared in the house of commons that there had not been any fighting or losses other than had been announced officially. This statement ensued on reports of a naval battle be- tween German and British ships received from several sources, but the admiralty refused to give out informa- tion. It is regarded as sig nificant that fishing fleets on the east coast of England have been given permission to go out and fish.
 Complete silence reigns as to military movements both in Germany and France, but it is assumed that both armies are con centrating for decisive bat ties. No hint of where they may come into contact has been given.
 Liege, Belgium, was again attacked by German troops last night, but is still hold ing out in some portions. The report of a German re- verse there is denied in dis patches from Berlin.
 The German cruisers GOe- ben and Breslau were obliged, owing to Italian neutrality, to leave San Salvador, Sicily, and have gone out to meet the British fleet. The commanders are said to have handed their wills to the German consul before departure.
 A London newspaper re- port says the German crown prince has been seriously injured by an unidentified assailant.
 A Finnish sea captain, on arriving at Stockholm, re- ported the Russian navy bottled up at Helsingfors, and that the Russian ports of Libau and Reval had been burned after an attack by German vessels. There is no confirmation of the re- bort.
 Many German merchant vessels were brought into English ports today by Brit Iish cruisers. The Holland Lloyd steamer Tubantia, with $2,500,000 from South America for the Deutsche bank in London, was also brought in.
 Stories of discourtesy in Germany to the dowagel empress of Russia are de- clared false by the German foreign office.
