u. S. FRENCH FUND
FOR ALL REFUGEES

Washington, Sept. "A French re-
lief fund is being formed for the pur-
pose of assisting sick and wounded
refugees, not only French, but also Bel
gian, English and other nationalities,
now swarming into Paris and other
French centres. An organization will
shortly be perfected among the many
people interested in Franco-Americsn
activities throughout the country.
Meantime individual subscriptions are
being received by the French Embassy
in Washington, which will see that the
funds are properly applied.
Reports reaching here from Paris and
other places in France tell of the mis-
cry, particularly among the poorer
classes, following in the train Of the
war. These came from Americans and
French residents of Paris, Mrs. Herman
H. Hsrjes, wife Of the American banker
in Paris, being among those who have
drawn special attention TO the urgent
needs Of the thousands of French and
Belgian peasantry driven into Paris by
the onrushing of the contending forces.
An announcement will be made later
Of the details of organization of the
French fund, which will be centralized

LABOR CRISIS IN
LONDON NOT SEVERE

London, Sept. 2.--The Board of Trade
announces that the percentage Of un-
employment on August 20 among work
men in trades insured against unem-
ployment, in building, works of con-
struction, engineering, shipbuilding,
vehicle making and other trades, was
6.2, as compared with 5.S on August 81,
81 on August IA and 40 on August T..
Thus while unemployment in these
trades is still increasing, the rate of
increase is becoming much slower.
The present unemployment percent
age of 6.2 is we'll below the estimated
average of unemployment in insured
trades over good and bad years.
AS regards the uninsured trades, the
number Of wo-k people on the regis
tiers of labor exchanges on August 2s
was S0,6S7. showing an increase of
only 1000 in week, as compared with
al increase of 1900 in the previous

Predictions of a tremendous increase
in our commercial relations with South
America followed the announcement
yesterday that the government had
given permission to the National City
Bank to open branches in Buenos Ayres
and Rio de Janeiro. The bank also has
applications pending for the opening
Of sub-brsnches in other South Ameri-
can cities.
While plans for the opening of the
branches were yet Incomplete, it was
said at the bank yesterday that the
Buenos Ayres branch would open on
October l unless something unforeseen
arose. Colonel George r. Cotton, for
mer Governor Of Porto Rico, and J. II.
Allen, former manager of the National
Bank of Hayti, will be joint managers
of the Buenos Ayres branch. With a
force OF half a dozen trained clerks
they will leave here about September

While the new branch will have Joint
managers, their work will be different.

tErnm Tho Tribune Rureau.l

Washington, Sept. 1.-The admins
tration's bill to create a sl0,oOO,OOO
corporation, to be controlled BY the
government, for the purchase or build
ing OF ships to engage in the foreign
trade was favorably reported to-day by
the House Merchant Marine Commit
tee.
The bill was amended to provide that
the quasi-public corporation may either
purchase or build the ships, that the
proposed shipping board shall make
annual reports to Congress, and that
no ships may be sold or routes aban-
doned without the consent Of Con-
gress.
At the suggestion of the President
further amendment that the ships
purchased or constructed shall be put
into operation with the view that they
may be used as naval suxiliaries. If
needed, is likely to be adopted. The
Naval Committee has tentatively
agreed on a bill which conflicts with
the Merchant Marine Committed
measure, proposing a S30,000,000 ap-
preparation for naval auxiliaries to be
used as merchant vessels. The Naval
Committee probably will not present
its bill.
Following the statement Of Secretary
McAdoo that the shipping legislation is
an emergency matter, Chairman Alex
ender, of the Merchant Marine Com
mittee, will ask a rule or unanimous
consent for its prompt consideration.
At the discretion Of the President and
the shipping board the government
steamers may enter any trade, and Sec
rotary McAdoo assured the committee
that the neutrality Of this country
would be maintained.
The Federal Marine War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau will be open for business

fBy Gable 20 The Tribune. ]

London, Sept. 2.--When the Celtic
sailed to-day the members of the Bel
giSn mission to the United States were
among the passengers. At o'clock this
morning the Admiralty notified the Off
GERS of the steamship line that it was
necessary 20 get accommodations for
the mission. 1t required some shifting
Of passengers TO make room for the five
Beigians, but this was finally done be-
fore the sailing hour.
g. de Warts, head of the mission,
took occasion emphaticslly to deny the
story that Louvain had been destroyed
because the son Of the Burgomaster
had shot a German general. He said:
There is absolutely no truth in such
report. There was no provocation. /"
N. Warts was sustained by the other
members of the mission.

TBy Cable to The Tribuns.l

London, Sept. IA dispatch to the
American Embassy says that all Amer
leans who desire to depart will be OUT
of Petrograd est. Petersburg) by the
end Of this week.
Two hundred Americans are at Os-
tend without money and unable to
cash checks. The embassy is arrang-
ing to send them funds for transit.
The American cruiser Tennessee LETT
Falmouth to-day for Havre, where she
will continue the work Of distributing
financial relief to Americans who are
in need Of money.
Every effort is being made to rush
Americans from Paris as quickly as
possible. The French government Is
providing them with every facility TO
enable them to reach Hayre. At this
port they will De met by the Tonnes
see. The cruiser will aid them flnan-
cially, and if necessary she will al
ford transportation across the Chan
mel.
Mrs. Stobart, who went to Brussels
to establish a Belgian Red Cross hos

irving to get from Brussels through

with her party, outside of Louvain ana
taken in a coal truck to Tongreo,
where, she says, she was submitted 70
insulting treatment as suspected
spy at the hands of German officers. -.
Mrs. Stobart and her party spent
the night in a guardroom, expecting
to be shot in the morning: They were,
however, sent on to Cologne. they
were deprived of all their documents
and mobbed by crowds Of howllng
German soldiers at Liege, Aachen and
other stopping places. They, were
finally liberated and escaped through
Holland, after encountering many dr.
ficulties.
Paris, Sept. 2.-It has been decided
to use the American cruiser Tennes-
see for the transportation OF Ameri-
cans from Havre to England. The
British port probably will be South
ampton. This ferry service will begin
as soon as the Tennessee reaches
Havre from Falmouth.
The necessity for such ferry SER
vice by the Tennessee is found IN the
fact that there are so many Amerl-
cans in France to-day wanting to get
quickly to England that the Channel
steamers cannot accommodate them
all. AS soon as it Is known when the
Tennessee will reach Havre the French
government will arrange for special
trains from Paris to move the Ameri-
cans.
There are here to-day a large num-
Der of other Americans who have come
from Switzerland and who also want
to get to England.
