Americans Want to Return

Washington, Aug. 2.-Active meas
ures for the relief of many thousands
OF Americans in distress in Europe
for lack of money or means to return
home have been begun by President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
The administration has under con.
sideration sending army and navy
transports to carry American refugees
and special request to congress for
an appropriation is expected. If neo-
essary the Washington government
is prepared to send American vessels
abroad with gold for the relief of
Americans.
State department officials admitted
that the most serious problem con.
fronting them was the plight of Amer.
leans abroad. They estimated that at
least 100000, and perhaps as many
as 100000, are scattered throughout
Europe.

Will Remain Neutral

Washington Aug. War develop.
ments in Europe overshadowed all
else today and tonight in the atten-
tion of official Washington. Steps to
prevent a financial stringency in this
country as result of Europe's sudden
need for gold were followed by a SER
les of precautionary measures design
ed to protect Americans and their in
terests abroad as we'll as at home.
From an authoritative source it was
learned tonight that President Wilson
was strongly disinclined to take any
steps toward mediation in Europe and
in line with the traditional policy of
the United States. would pursue a
course of absolute non-interference.
AS American diplomats abroad have
been active ON their own initiative,
sounding out various governments
about peace measures, cautionary tel
egrams were sent all legations and
embassies requiring that no steps of
Importance in this direction be taken
without previous consultation with the
government at Washington. For the
present the attitude of the United
States will be that of a neutral obser-
YER.

Would Change Reclamation Law

Washington. July 3O.-An amend.
ment revolutionizing the conduct of
the government reclamation service
was written into the irrigation bill in
the house today by a vote of IT'S to
40, proposed by Majority Leader I'm.
derwood, it provides that all expendi-
lures for irrigation work must be by
annual appropriations by congress
from the reclamation fund now en-
tirely at the discretion of the interior
department. Representatives from
the public land states opposed the
amendment, declaring it would lead
to pork barrel" tactics.
The bill, which extends from 10 to
20 years the time in which settlers
may repay the government for irri.
cation improvements on their lands
then was passed without roll call.

No Cause for Alarm

Washington, Aug. 3.-President vii.
son appealed today to the people of
the United States to remain calm dur
ing the war in Europe. He declared
that America owes it to mankind to
help the rest of the world during the
present crisis. The White house au-
thorities give this quotation from the
presidents remarks as follows:
ut is manifestly necessary in the
present state of affairs on the other
side of the water that you should be
extremely careful not to aid in any
way to the excitement. OF course
the European world is in a highly
excited state of mind, but the excite
ment ought not to spread to the Unit.
ed States. So far as we are concern.
ed, there is no cause for excitement.
There is no great inconvenience
for the time being in the money mar
ket and in our exchanges, and, tenn.
porarily, in the handling of our crops,
but America is absolutely prepared to
meet the financial situation and to
straighten everything out without any
difficulty. The only things that can
possibly prevent it is unreasonable ap.
prehension and excitement"

Ship Ore by Parcel Post

Butte, July 30.-According to the
Butte postoffice officials, the low par
Gel post rates are losing money right
along in this city for Uncle Sam, be-
cause of such shipments by mail of
tons of ore, which come in fifty-pound
packages. During the last three
months about so tons of ore have
been received here, having been ship.
Led from Idaho, and which cost the
shipper $1.0S per 100 for postage.
This is cheaper by a good deal than
the ore could be freighted into Butte.
Under present conditions Uncle Sam
rays AZ cents per 100 to the rural
route men to bring the ore from the
mine to the depot. The railroad has
to be paid for transportation, which,
from Idaho, is more than a dollar.
Then comes the cost of hauling the
ore from the depot to the postoffice,
and from the postoffice to the sampl.
ing works. 1t is estimated the gov.
ernment now loses dollar a hundred
pounds on this ore. 1t is expected a
new scale for ore shipments will be
adopted.

High Rates on Creamery Products

Helena, July 3O.-Railroad rates
eat up the profits on butter and
creamery products shipped from Mon
tana points to eastern markets, &C.
cording to Arthur G. Scholes, state
dairy commissioner.
nv. Scholes, who has been one of
the most consistent boosters for the
"home products" movement has made
somewhat of an investigation recent.
ly into the rate question, and declares
he was amazed to find that dairy
men cannot ship their products east,
and expect sufficient profit to war.
rant continuing the shipments.
AS result of his investigation,
Mr.. Scholes expects to take up the
question of a reduction of freight
rates on dairy products with the head
officials of railroad companies oper-
ating in Montana. In case relief is
not secured from that quarter. Mr..
Scholes will make formal complaint
to the state railroad commission, and
ask that the present rate be clipped
to allow of reasonable profit to
creamery operators and dairymen.
Mr.. Scholes' investigation has
ELECTED the information that the
freight rate from Livingston to Chi.
cago is $1.S5 per hundred pounds, and
gross weight at that, which includes
the box. He learned also that the
rate from Pony to Chicago is 1925
per 100 pounds gross.

Stock Exchanges Closed

New York. July 31.-The New York
stock exchange was closed today on
account of the European situation:
the Consolidated Stock exchange and
the New York curb market also clos
ed business. This was followed i'm
mediately by announcements OF the

Philadelphia. July 3O-Heads of
great industries in eastern Pennsyl-

of the present European crisis. Large

this morning that shipment of $4,000
catalogues of an eastern mail order

amount OF $340 to the McQueeney

department, and the regular shipment
of 24.onO will be sent to Butte early
next month. Information has been re-
ceiyed that the mail order house sends

On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making formal declaration
OF war, has violated the neutrality of
Luxemberg and declines to give any
pledge to respect Belgian nutrality.
The efforts of the British ambassa-
dor to Berlin to obtain such an under
standing have been wasted. 1t is diff
cult to see how Great Britain can
avoid being drawn into the conflict to
protect Belgian and Dutch neutrality,
and on this point premier Asquith's
official announcement in parliament is
awaited with intense anxiety, the Brit
ish public being no longer under any
illusions as to the gravity of the crisis
which transcends anything in their ex.
perience.
The least observant man in London
today could not fail to be impressed
with the fact that something tremend-
GUS was happening. Short of actual
formal fobilization, the British gov
ernment is making all necessary steps
to meet situation unprecedented in
the nations history.

avert the threatened strike of $4,000
engineermen and firemen on SO ives.
tern railroads, President Wilson ap-
pealed today to representatives of the
employees and employers to accept the
settlement plan proposed by the fed
eral board of mediation and concilia-

of proposals of both sides.
The plan of the mediators is to re-
store schedules in effect prior to Oc-
tober. 1913, with certain amendments
and rulings and to submit to arbitra-

FAINT HOPE OF PEACE
European Nations Prepare for War
But it May be Averted

London, July 31.-There are only
two factors tonight giving the faintest
hope of averting general European
war-first Russia and Austria are en-.
gagged again in direct negotiations;
second, both Great Britain and France
are using their utmost endeavors in
favor of peace.
On the other hand, Russia has or.
dered general mobilization, and Ger.
many has declared state of siege,
which Is undoubtedly a prelude, if it
does not cover mobilization.
The correspondent of the Times,
telegraphing from St. Petersburg,
says:
"A general mobilization has been
ordered. Never within living men,
ory has Russia lived through a day
of such emotion. The government de-
cided on mobilization late on Thurs
day. The step was forced upon it
when it became apparent that the Ger.
mans were purposely delaying their
official notice of mobilization in order
to place Russia in a position of infer.
iority. To have hesitated longer
would have been to court disaster.
"Curt notices signifying that the
emperor has decided to mobilize in
the empire about 100000 men, and
ordering the reservists, without dis.
tinction, to report at the nearest po-
lice station by o'clock on Saturday
morning, have been posted at street
corners.
"Another brief notice informs res
servists that sums of money will be
paid them for clothing and food.

FOUR NATIONS At WAR
Europe Becomes An Armed Camp With Ger.
many, Russia, France and Austria
Commencing Hostilities

London, Aug. 2.-Four great pow.
ers of Europe-Austria-H Hungary, Rus
sia, France and Germany-are now
engaged in actual warfare, but two
of them, Germany and France, not
only have not declared war against
each other, as far as is known here,
but have not even several diplomatic
relations. This is despite the fact
that Germany's ultimatum to France
has either been ignored or rejected.
The explanation of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
In fact, while the nations of Europe
are flying at each others throats,
they are vieing with each other in
protesting their desire to maintain
peace and they repudiate the respon.
sibility for plunging the whole conti-
nent into bloodshed.
In this remarkable situation.
France, according to British opinion.
has the strongest justification. She
certainly was the last to mobilize
and seems to have taken the greatest
precautions to avoid frontier collis-
