With Americans.

NEW YORK, August S.-The White
Star liner Olympic, which was to have
cleared from this port today with Brit
ish reserves was held up indefinitely un-
der receipt of orders from the British ad-
miralty.
Why the Olympic was held and what
the British admiralty expected to do with
her were matters the White Star line Of
f1cials asserted they could not explain.
II have no idea why the order was
given" one of the officials said.
A report was current that the Olympic
was to sail for Halifax and there be
fitted out as a transport for the convey
ance of Canadian troops to Europe. This
could not be confirmed.
The White Star liner Cedric left Hall
and should arrive at New York Monday
morning. This announcement was made
by the White Star line.
The sailing Of the Red Star liner Vader-
land, on which 1000 Belgian reservists
were booked for British port also was
delayed.
The Olympic's passengers were trans
ferred to the Adriatic after the sus-
pension of the Olympic's sailing was an
nounced The Adriatic and the Mime
haha sailed at the same time.
AS in the case of the Olympic, the Va
derland's sailing was called off by or
ders from the admiralty. No other eA-
planation was given. Notwithstanding
her German name the Naderiand is

tiations Sir Edward Grey promised that
England would remain neutral only un-
der the following conditions:
First. Germany is not allowed to com
init any act of hostility against ehe
French coasts in the North sea
Second German troops are not allow
cd to pass through Belgian territory
Third the German navy is not allow
ed to attack Russia from the Baltlc sea-
ON the question put by the govern
n,eut whether Great Britain would un-
Gertake to respect Belgian neutranty
during the whole war. no answer was
given.
Would Have Bottled Fleet.
sir Edward tried to impose conditions
which would have secured to Great Brit
ain. without running any risk, all the
benefits which it could have obtained
only bv a successful naval war. The
acceptance of these conditions would
have led to the bottling up of the whole
German fleet. forcing it to absolute in
activity. ....... ~
knowing, on the other hand, that
great number of French officers had
crossed the Belgian frontier in about hfty
motor cars. rushing up to Liese. which
was a fragrant violation of Belgian neu-
trality; knowing further that Antwerp

harbor to the British fleet and landing

ish conditions
At State Department.
On his arrival here today the German
charge went at once to the State Depart
ment and had a lengthy conference with
Secretary Bryan, doubtless presenting
the foregoing view and taking up various
other questions, which have arisen.
He gave definite assurance that there
had been no complete stoppage of Ameri-
cans from leaving Germany, such inter
ruption to transit being merely that
necessary incident to the taking over Of
railway trains and all ordinary means of
transportation for military operations.
Advance Guard Only.
Concerning the Geman operation at
Liege. Belgium. the German. charge
pointed out that it was merely an ad-
vance guard movement, and in no sense
a movement of the colossal German
forces advancing slowly and surely upon
he frontier. He said that the English
merely showed that the Belgians. in a
modern fortifcation had been able to
lold back the impetuous rush of a COM
oaratively small advance guard. He de-
.Iared that the reports of losses were
oroba bly, exaggerated. also that this van
guard had no heavy artillery with which
% silence a modern fortification.

Not only is DR.. Shaw going to be

head, Mrs. Batch, is soon going to
England, where some personal business
calls her. The W. p. L., which at the
beginning was often called as much OF
an autocracy as Mrs. Pankhurst's So
cial and Political Union, is showing an
inclination to become thing OF groups
Groups of the younger members are
undertaking suffrage enterprises on
their own initiative, such as the Suf-
frage Shop, opened by Mrs. Norman
de R. Whitehouse, at 663 Fifth av.
Mrs. Blatch said yesterday she con-
sidered this awakening of initiative a
good sign. Meantime the headquarters,
at % West 45th ST., is assuming the
staid air Of a purely business office, IN
strange contrast to the busting actlv-
ity of former DAYS.
Nor will there be a parade TO call
the workers together in the spring.
Mrs. Batch says that she has bowed
to the will of the Empire State Com
mittee, which elects TO put the parade
off until next fall. Mrs. Blatch does
not think this a good plan, but ap-
parently she does not care to do what
she did in 1913-capture the whole pa
rade situation in the face of the other
suffrage organizations and have a grand
w. P. L. parade in spite of them.

STARVING PRIESTS
Cardinal Farley Says
Faith Propagation So
ciety Faces Crisis.

In the course of the annual service
for the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith, held yesterday in St. Pat
rick's Cathedral, six-year-old Chinese
girl. Mary WI by name, was among
those who greeted Cardinal Farley and
engaged him IN conversation. Twenty
Chinese boys and girls from the mis-
sion in Park st. attended the service.
Cardinal Farley gave the benedic-
ton, and the sermon was preached by
the Rev. Thomas F. Myhan, the new
pastor of the Church of the Blessed
Sacrament The celebration of the
Feast of St. Francis Xavier was also
held.
War needs formed the topic of both
service and sermon, as the income of
the society is almost wholly cut off by
the hOstilities. France, which has
been the society's largest financial sup
porter, is contributing nothing at pres
ent.
To-day an apostle of God sits a
prisoner in Rome" said Father Myhan,
seeing all Europe deluged in blood.
He sees heresy and anarchy through
out Europe, the children of Christ
growing as other children of Christ
grew. But We must tell our God that
He can depend on rs to carry on His
warfare for Christ.
"Al Europe is devastated by war.
The nuns and priests are at the front,
attending the wounded and ministering
to the offering in this unholy war.
We are the children of peace and pros
perity and il is our duty to propagate
the faith and save souls"
Cardinal Farley spoke from the
throne, saying: "This is a cal Ito show
loyalty to this great society, this sub
lime cause.-the propagation of the
faith
Unless liberal contributions are made
by American Catholics, it is said, the
three thousand missionaries of the So
ciety will face starvation. Meetings
are being held in all the large cities
throughout the United States.
