RELIEF WORKERS

London, Sept. 19.-The American
cruiser Tennessee will start for
America about October 1, carrying
home virtually all the army OF Amer
lean relief officers who went to Eu-
rope on government relief work. The
Tennessee left New York August 9Th
with more than $5,O00,00O on board
to aid stranded Americans in Europe.
Under orders from Henry S. Brecken-
ridge the American assistant secre-
tary of war, affairs hero are being
closed up as rapidly as possible pre-
paratory to ending the relief labors
of the Washington government. A
resident American relief committee
under a permanent form Of organiza-
tion will continue after the with
drawal of government assistance to
assist INDECENT Americans with COM
mittee funds. The local committee
has been using its own funds since
the opening of the war for the tenn
porary assistance of penniless Ameri-
cans while the government money
has been used for the payment of
steamship and railroad fares and any
other amounts which could be ac-
counted for in large vouchers.
Diplomatic officers will direct the

NO STEP TAKEN
To RESTORE
PEACE IN
EUROPE

Washington, Sept. 19.-The for
NAL peace movement begun a fort
night ago. was today at a standstill.
President Wilson had not forwarded
to any American ambassadors abroad
the message received from Ambassa-
dor Gerard giving the record Of his
conversation with the German imper-
ial chancellor.
While Ambassador Gerard report
ed the imperial chancellor as having
said "It is up to the United States to
obtain a statement OF peace terms
from the allies" the President does
not construe the informal suggestion
as requiring the United States to un-
dertake such task. Until a speci-
fled request comes in a formal way
1t is unlikelyn that the American
government will endeavor to sound
the allies on peace terms.
