Secretary Garrison reiterated the be-
lief today that 1t will not be necessary
10 send transports from this side of the
ocean to bring European refugees
home. He believes that where enough
Americans are gathered to I'LL a ship
there will be no trouble In finding a
ship among the regular liners flying
flags OF neutral nations. whose sailings
have not been interfered with. II Il
develops later that Americans have
gathered at some port not touched by
transatlantic liners and are unable to
make their way to ports of sailing.
then the question Of sending ships for
them Will be given consideration.
Estimates prepared roughly by Secre-
tary Garrison from reports OF Govern
ment agents abroad indicate that there
are less than $4,000 Americans In Eu-
rope who want to come home. This
number, however. 10 being reduced by
departures every day.
Reassuring advices have been re-
ceived by Secretary Garrison as to the
