Paris Under Martial Law

We found Paris under martial law.

useless. Our American bankers checks
were equally valueless. Only our
American Express Company checks,
ply, were honored. At Paris we
learned that the French liner Chicago
was lying in port at Havre, but that
her departure was in no way assured.
However. we considered this our best
chance and decided to depart for
Havre at once. There were three
trains leaving Paris daily for Havre.
each train capable of taking 400 pas
sengers. There were 5000 people in
Paris clamoring for seats in these
trains. Rather than chance further
delay waiting for train accommo-
dations Mr.. Shcmidt hired an automo-
bile at n cost of $3.50 to convey us to
the seaport.
I'VE arrived at Havre safely and
embarked on the Chicago. Our only
baggage consisted of small travelling
bags. No trunks or heavy luggage
were permitted to any of the passen-
gers. For a week we remained in
port. every day worried by reports
that our ship was to be converted into
a hospital ship or transport. or that
something else was to deprive us of
this chance of escape. At length. to
our great relief. word was passed that
the steamer was to clear, and when
we slipped out of the harbor we all
breathed a fervent prayer OF thanks

The trip across was twice inter

NO BRITISH PAPER FAMINE.
Expectation is That Manufacturer.
Here Will Keep Up the Supply.

London. Wednesday,, Aug. 21.-The
Daily Chronicle says that inquiries
which have been made by The Paper
maker and The British Paper Trade
Journal into the effect of the war up
on the British paper trade show that
there Is no expectation OF a paper
famine. The Papermaker says there
are fairly large stocks in this country
to meet the demands of British news
papers for perhaps the next few
months. There will be no insuperable
difficulty in keeping the Atlantic open,
and If only the question of insurance
could be satisfactorily disposed Of
there is no doubt that American and
Canadian paper manufacturers would
materially assist in supplying the Brit
ish market. =
With regard to wood pulp, paper
manufacturers on an average have
stocks which will enable them to con
tinue operations for any period up to
three months. Manufacturers using
esparto are fairly we'll situated, and
there has been no extraordinary de-
mand for supplies. There. has been a
falling off in the supply Of kraft paper
from Sweden and China, which is one
Of the largest consumers of Norwegian
and Swedish paper, will feel the effect
badly.
SO far as Great Britain is concerned,
however. there should be little risk
of a paper famine If transatlantic
manufacturers are able to supplement
the output of the mills in this coun-
try.

fish people, who at present are facing
one another in arms as parts OF the
Austrian, German, and Russian forces.
Among the Austrian prisoners
brought into Kieff are two Galtctans
who at the moment they saw the Rus-.
sian cavalry scouts flung away their
rifles, and, waving handkerchtefs, gave
themselves up as prisoners. They re-
port that their fellows are strictly
watched and are shot on the least sus-
picion by Austrian officers.
Several thousand Czechs resident in
Kieff have been received as Russian
subjects. and the majority have vol
unteered to serve in the Russian
army. Three thousand Let's from
the mobilized districts Of Courland
have volunteered for the front. II
Russia puts into the field all the lnen
Of the empire available either as SOL
diers or reserves or last reserve and
estimate that she could raise 2O.000,-
900 men capable Of bearing arms.
Russia now has practically resumed
her normal aspect. For. signs that she
is at war one must look beneath the
surface, at any rate in the large cen-
tiers. Trains are running again pretty
regularly, the banks r open, and
local trade is endeavoring to recover
its ordinary routine; but the loss Of
foreign traffic is causing considerable
inconvenience and reduction In the in
comes Of the business classes.
Procrastination increases the de-

The determination of Japan to en-

only in Washington. but throughout

cially from Paris that mobilization Of

JAPANESE WE'RE FoREwARNED.
Great Numbers Deft Berlin Before
the Ultmatum Was Sent.

London, Aug. 2l.-Most of the
Americans resident in Berlin will re-
main there, according to Mrs. Lucy
Salliburton of Charlotte. N. c., who
left on.the ambassadors special train
and arrived in London today. The
Americans, according to Mrs, Salli-
burton, feel ecu in Berlin and do
not fear a famine. Prices were slight
~ raised there, she said. but the banks
cashed American travellers checks
without discount. English-speaking
people were advised by the authori-
ties not to speak English on the
streets lest they be attacked by ig-
norant people.
Mrs. Salliburton said travellers from
Germany were struck by the sudden
exodus Of Japanese prior to the issn-
ance of Japan's ultimatum. All trains
for the border contained Japanese
bound for England, who apparently
had been notified of the impending
crisis.
H. NJ. Hyndman, leader of the Eng
lish socialists. says the members of
his party have been unable to get any
news regarding the German socialist
leaders. They believe. however, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hyndman, the report
that Carl Liebknecht was tried and
shot for refusing to serve with the

With their enormous army and

There is great danger that under
these circumstances the United

so, she has England to thank for It.,
We maintain that this is intended by
England, as she considers the United
