See No Cause for Alarm.
The committee asks that the Ameri-
cans be patient and calm, the COM
mlttee having the assurance of the
American ambassador, Mr.. Herrick,
that he will do everything reasonable
in his power to promote and protect
the interests of all Americans in Paris,
which attitude we have reason to think
is approved by the government at
Washington. We believe there Is no
cause for alarm
The French Line steamer, Chicago,
sailed from Havre. Colonel Calvin
Brown devised a plan to take passen-
gers down the Seine to Havre In pleas
ure steamers.
Mrs. Herrick, wife of the American
ambassador, planned to join the
French Red Cross, but later changed
her intentions at the suggestion of her
husband, and will organize an Ameri-
can hospital here. Mr. Herrick is of
the belief his wife can be of more
service in attending the wounded this
way than by going into the field as a
nurse.
Ambassador Herrick has arranged
with Premier Vivani that Americans
leaving France will not be required
to show passports or otherwise identi
| fly themselves, the simple declaration
| that they are from the United States
| being taken sufficient to pass them.
Take Mrs. PaImer's Auto.
| Mrs. Herrick also is trying to ar
| range for Americans to leave fol
southern France with their automo
biles, which are now being requisi
toned by the military administration
for war purposes. Mrs. Potter Pal
mer's machine was among those requi
sitioned, and Judge E. H. Gary wa:
notified that his car was likely to b
taken shortly.
Nearly two thousand Americana

ALARM IN MARINE CIRCLES
Many Ships, Mostly German, Have Not
Reported and Their Where
abouts Is Unknown.

New York.-With war formally de-
clared between England and Germany.
there was keen interest in marine
circles regarding the movement of
transatlantic steamships, particularly
the German liners, which are scurry-
ing to port to avoid possible capture
by warships Of hostile nations.
The arrival Of the treasure laden
Kronprinzessin Cecilie at Bar Harbor
Me, led to the belief here that
another North German Lloyd liner
which has been missing, the Kaiser
Wilhelm II. may turn up Unexpectedly
in some other American port
"Lost" Since Leaving Cherbourg.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II has not been
heard from since touching at Cher
bourg on July 20.
If 1t has not been captured, the
agents suggested that 1t may not have
defined It's position by wireless for
fear it would be taken, as the Cecilie's
captain reported the proximity Of
French warships.
The German steamship agents here
are taking every precautlon to pre-
vent any hostile movement being car
ried out against their vessels in this
port
Three British, two German, and two
French cruisers are supposed to be
near this port and a naval battle near
here is regarded as not impossible.
