WILD RUSH TO GET HOME
Americans In London Willing to Ae-
cept Any Kind Of Accommodation
Offered Them.

London.-There were more Ameri.
cans in the west end of London dur.
ing the days following the declaration
Of war than Englishmen. They were
chiefly crowded about the Offices of
the American Express company and of
the steamship lines trying to get
checks cashed and secure passage
home.
The express companies were able to
AFFORD much relief to those in financial
straits and the steamship companies
booked hundreds Of passages, although
no guarantee could Re given that Brit
ish steamers would sail until their
safety was assured by the navy.
The greatest demand, therefore. was
for berths on American liners. Per.
sons who usually travel in the most
luxurious cabins were eagerly buying
berths In the steerage which had been
secured by earlier visitors to the
steamship ofices who were Offering
them for sale, but at greatly increased
prices. The main Office of the Inter.
national Mercantile Marine was
damned with Americans, and a like
condition prevailed at the Offices of
the Cunard and Canadian lines, which
were still doing business.
Rush on Express Offices,
The express companies ofices.
which opened at an early hour. were
crowded. They were well supplied
with currency and honored their
checks up to $50. The American Ex.
press company supplied the temporary
wants Of over 5000 persons from the
time the Office opened until 2 o'clock
this afternoon. There were still hun.
dreds In line desiring gold In exchange
for their checks. They were told to
return next morning.
The Wells Fargo Express company.
which issues checks chiefly to west.
erners. was open all day. The CASH
iers were kept busy honoring checks.

Misunderstanding on what probably
will be the last boat for some time
from the Hook of Holland, w. T. Metz
rath of New Brunswick, N. j., reported
that the harbor at the Hook was being
mined and that countless Americans
were stranded in the Netherlands. He
said:
AT Hanover, Prussia, where /

saw a woman and her two children
with $4,000 in checks, but without any
cash.
Americans, however, are showing a
splendid spirit and are dividing their

four hours without food, locked in the
cars all night IN cramped positions.
There was great suffering, but the
children and the women remained
game.

tinued, ARE enthusiastic for war, the

decided on peace was received with
regret"
Wellesley Harrington Of Albany,
N. Y, saw a German who was said to
be trying to. escape service dragged
from a railroad car by soldiers. Later
it was reported that the man had been
shot.
On leaving Berlin Mr.. Harrington
was on the train for thirty hours with
out food. He had hard work proving
his citizenship. One American, he
said, was arrested because he had a
kodak, and he was detained until the
films developed to show II he was a
spy.

There is a movement on foot hav-
ing the active support Of the presi-
dent Of the Great Northern Railway,
to carve a national park out of the
Lake Chelan region. 1t would en-
brace the lake, Horse shoe basin and
the glaciers in the vicinity of the lake.
Certainl the lake itself is one of the
most interesting and wonderful bodies
OF inland water in the western part OF
the United States. For the benefit of
those who have not seen it we might
mention that it is over sixty miles in
length and from a half to over two
miles in width, with towering cliffs on
both sides for almost the entire length.
For wild, scenic grandeur it is unsur-
passed in the United States. One can
easily see, tho, the hand of the Great
Northern. 1t would be another scenic
adjunct to the roads passenger traffic.
Still, we would not oppose it because
il would benefit great corporation.
The question is, rs it Of enough value
to preserve as a national health and
pleasure resort" We think it is.

So far a dozen men have been killed
in the first battle with the Mexicans al
Vera Cruz. The papers that con-
tanned this information contained also
the statement that on the same day
fifty men, women and children, mostly
children, had been killed in a battle
between striking coal miners and state
militia and men employed by the mine
owners, near Trinidad, Colorado. The
firing on women and children by the
Colorado militia is indefensible. Miners
and mine owners should be prohibited
from having fire arms OF any kind, and
the employment Of gun men, private
police and guards with arms should be
likewise prohibited. Hardly do labor
troubles in one part of the country
subside before they break out in a
worse form in another. Where is this
to end, may we'll be asked by sober,
thoughtful men.

He is not frothy campaign speaker

Will the Mexican War Be Our Last!

So it is to be war. Just what some
far-seeing prophets predicted the policy
Of watching and waiting would
eventuate in. We sincerely trust that
it will be a war with little or no blood
shed. That it will cost the American
people in treasure not less than twenty
FIVE million dollars and may cost FIVE
hundred million is one Of the eventu-
alities we must perforce count on.
Since the first order was given to our
ships to start for Mexico war debt be-
gan to pile up at the rate OF million
dollars per day. Besides being de-
structive of morals and destructive of
human life war is the most expensive
thing in this world. War, like duel
ing, can not be defended on any
ground. There was no necessity for
the personal code. OF honor and an
aroused public opinion put stop to it.
When public opinion among the civ
ilized peoples of the world is sufficient
ly aroused war will be abolished.
There will be a war one of the COM
ing days, and it will be so cruel, so
sanguinary and destructive that the
whole civilized world will revolt, and
then war as means of settling inter
national difficulties will be stopped by
the wholesome force Of public opinion.
So mote it be.
