Americans Registering

The New York Hefald's Paris corre- spondent cables as follows: Heavy trans- fers of French money to New York Is In progress. There are several reasons for this. among them the moderate interest paid on current accounts which may be withdrawn at any time, privilege not granted in any important European mar ket. Then the price of exchange is re- garded as certain to rise whatever course the international war takes. Altogether French cash is considered safer in the United States than in Europe.
 Americans residing in Paris are register- ing themselves and their property at the American embassy as a precautionary measure.
 The decision of the American govern ment to maintain its embassy in Paris during the days which are to come is commented upon with warm appreciation by nearly all the newspapers of the cap ital. The services of E,lihu Benjamin Washburne to his countrymen and to all the residents of Paris in 1871 are recalled. here between 1869 and 1877.
 The arrival of MT. William Graves sharp. who has been appointed to suc- ceed MT. Myron T. Herrick. the amtas- sador, and who, pending the transfer, will assist MT. Herrick here. and Mir Robert Bacon, formerly ambassador to France. has been referred to as delegation of eminent Americans whose presence will be on the side of conscience and rea- son.
