AMERICANS IN LONDON
JOIN TO AID REFUGEES

Suggestions of all sorts ratified
through the gathering until wom-
ans voice was heard above the din
crying:
stop this foolishness and let's get
down to business and appoint COM
mittees."
Senator Clark, of Chicago. told a
moving story of Americans stranded
in Paris. He said the boat on which
he came to England from France was
"a living hell''
Senator Halves, of st. Louis, said:
London is safer than any place
outside our own country. Our first
duty is toward the helpless"
The announcement was made that
Oscar Straus, formerly United States
ambassador to Turkey, was present.
Amid cheers and cries of "Straus"
the ex-ambassador mounted the table.
He said:
"Exiles and Fellow Citizens: There
is no occasion for alarm. Americans
are safe in any part of the world. We
are enemies of none and friends of
all. Be assured our government will
look after us and every step will be
taken. Adequate facilities will be
furnished and every American VIII
be able to get home except those who
want to stay to see what is happen
ing. l appeal to you as Americans
TO be calm. Everything will come
out right"
Let us pray that even now some
great statesman may rise up to avert
the most terrible catastrophe since
the beginning of civilization"

LONDON, Aug. "A start was
made last night in the attempt to
bring order out of the chaos in which
Americans here find themselves. An
advisory committee of American citi-
zens was formed at one of the most
remarkable meetings ever held by
Americans abroad. The gathering
took place in the Waldorf Hotel.
The pavements in front of the hotel
were crowded and the corridors were
damned. Hundreds of persons drove
up or went on foot and had to go
away, seeing no chance of entering.
1t was a represe ntative American
gathering. Every walk of life from
the rich tourist to the schoo ma am
was represented. While waiting for
the opening of the proceedings the
crowd was moved to laughter by
someone singing We're here because
we're here, because we're here, be-
cause we're here, because"
Thodore Hetzler, cashier of the
Fifth Avenue Bank of New York, was
elected chairman.
Demand o. s. Transports.
The gathering began to get FESTIVE.
There were cries of I'VE demand that
the United States send transports at
once" Mr.. Hetzler said Ambassador
Page had already cabled that request
to Washington.
What was the messenger" yelled
the crowd.
Chairman Hetzler appealed to Sec
rotary Bell OF the American en-
bassy, who was present. Mr.. Bell de-
clined to give the text of Mr.. Pages
message.
Lets send a message of our own"
cried one of the Americans. Loud
cheers greeted this suggestion.
Was the ambassador invited to be
present at this meeting?" was an
other question. IF he was, why is he
not here?'
Chairman Hetzler replied:
BE patient. Don't be selfish. The
is doing everything he
can do He is busy at the foreign
Office in this critical time. You must
look at the big things, not the little
ones. Have confidence in President
Wilson and the ambassador of your
This was loudly cheered
Mr.. Walters, a lawyer of New Jer-
sey, naively suggested that a request
be made to the belligerents to sus-
pend hostilities until the stranded
Americans can get out of the war
zone. Even the exiled tourists had
to laugh at this, as the chairman
broke in with:
I'm afraid we count for little in
the eyes of the belligerents."

GERARD WANTS
AMER|CANSOU
OF DANGER ZONE
Ambassador at Berlin Trying
to Arrange for Return of
Stranded Countrymen.
Special to the Evening star.


BERLIN, Aug 4-The grave press
ing need of the Americans now in
Germany is means of taking them
out of the country. The police re-
strictions are extremely hampering.
Ambassador Gerard is doing every
thing possible for his countrymen,
but he admits that they ought to be
taken from the war zone without de-
lay. The offices of the United Press
today were crowded with Americans
and urged that their plight should be
communicated with Secretary Of
State Bryan and President Wilson
All insisted that it was the duty Of
the United States to send either war
ships or army transports to the near
est German port to bring them home
While the government has possess
sion of the railroads it can be stated
on authority that it will be willing to
provide transportation of refugees to
the sea coast If the United States will
send ships While all harbors are
closed and mined, the government
would furnish pilots to bring the
transports into the harbor where they
could load the refugees. The police
regulations against foreigners are
being rigidly enforced. Ambassador
Gerard has furnished all OF his coun-
trymen with temporary passports,
pending the arrival of additional Off
cial blanks from America.
Many school teachers, who have
run out of funds, have been provided
quarters by Mrs. Gerard The city
Is quiet. High officials of the army
and navy are the centres of interest
as they rush to and fro. Members of
the royal family are cheered when
ever they appear In public The gov
eminent has taken possession of all
of the food supplies in the wholesale
warehouses. Prices have advanced,
but there has been no suffering.
An official decree places a maxi
mum price for all goods and warns
store keepers that any who refuse
paper money and insist on getting
gold or silver will have their estab-
lishments closed by the police.
The Reichstag met today to act on
the war budget and on the emergency
legislation necesitated by the war.
1t was announced in advance that at
a conference of the leaders of all of
the political parties it had been de-
cided to vote as a unit on all meas
ures affecting the national honor.

DoM0DERR DANCES
MAKE WRlNkLES7

1t is strictly a newspaper notion
that because the dances of the day
ere strenuous they develop signs of
age Worry and carelessness may
make wrinkles, but the activity of
clean dancing never! Wrinkles are
due more to improper care of the
skin, neglect and too strenuous mem
tai activity. They may be avoided or
cured by using a simple protective
and stimulative vegetable cream jelly
before retiring. Just get one ounce
of almozoin from your druggist-dis-
solve it in " pint of water and, be-
fore retiring, cover the wrinkled sur
face with this cream, which dries
quickly and both protects against the
night air and draws the skin smooth,
will not grow hair and immediately
forces the blNod to build out the flesh
so wrinkles disappear.

Russia made inquiries on Sunday as
to whether Sweden would remain
neutral Germanys note was brief,
merely demanding to know whether
Sweden was "for or against u.s." The
ministers declined to say what reply
was given, but they are preparing to
defend the nations neutrality.
The German ultimatum to Belgium
created a deep impression here, and
1t is believed that if similar ulti-
matum was addressed to Sweden she
would follow the Belgian example in
refusing to aid Germany.

AMERICAN
Artists Are Latest Exhibitors
at the Paris ART World
in France.
nv Asseeiarrnissssn

PARIS, July 27.-The latest addi-
ton to the Paris art world is an exhi-
.bition Of American art by typical
American artists. The exhibitors this
year are -Bryson Burroughs, curator
of paintings at the Metropolitan mus
cum, New York, and Earnest Lawson,
of the Art Students League, New York,
The work of the two artists is entire
ly different.
Lawson belongs to the iFuturistic
pressionistic school, the palette
knife being used more extensively
than the brush, while Burroughs
work, especially his figure groups,
are on the order OF mural decorations,
and the influence of Botticelli may be
clearly seen in them. Lawson, in his
landscapes, has admirably caught the
clear American atmosphere.
Every detail stands out in bold re-
lief; there is no softening mask Of
haze, or dim suggestion of figures,
such as, one finds in the works of Cor
OF and his contemporaries. The crit
icisn has been made that his colors
are too striking, but when the right
perspective has been obtained, they
become diffused and soften until they
melt into a harmonious whole.

VERY GLOOMY
Reporter Discovers But Eleven
SmiIers in Dense Throngs

LONDON, July 27.-Whether Lon
donersF really wear "a look of hope
less gloom" is question that has
stirred up the London newspapers,
Following an interview with A.. q.
Carmichael, the Australian politician,
who says they do. Many charges
and defenses of an indefinite kind
have been made.
One journal has sent out re-
porter for exact data. After wander
ing an hour through London's bust
lest streets and covering such centers
of life as the Strand and Ludgate
Hill, the reporter discovered bit
eleven smilers. OF the eleven with
cheerful faces, three were women Of
the coster class, two shop girls, two
stock exchange employees and three
news vendors. The eleventh was q
small boy who was tormenting q
hore by Ticking a dirty handkerchief
at its nose.
The other thousands wore the
London scowl," which the reporter
defines as deep, verticle from
between the eyebrows, puckered eyes.
a moody glance and the mouth drawn
in tight line. dropping at the cor
ners."
One Of the merry eleven, a human
derelict selling papers on the en-
bankment, said that in his philoso-
ply, he found 1t as easy to look hap
by ag glun.
Apply looks ii do sight more
for yer" he explained. 'If only
some of the 'awkers d chuck the dis
nal line and go in for the merry and
bright, they'd soon see the difference
in their takin's."
