APPEALS To BRYAN
TO LOCATE CRUMP
Family of Greensboro Man
Wire State Department.
Emory Thomas Sails.

Despite efforts being made by the
family, it has been impossible to To-
cate Clifford Crump. son of DR.. c. F..
Crump of Greensboro, who left South
America two days before the war be-
gan on board a German ship bound for
a port in France.
An appeal was made to Secretary
Bryan this morning by telegraph to
enlist the aid of the state department
in locating the steamship, which the
family now fears has fallen into hostile
hands and has probably been taken
captive. Yesterday a telegram was
sent to the offices of the steamship
line requesting information concerning
the present location of the ship, but no
word had been received at late hour
this afternoon.
AS the means of communication
with America are being opened, it is
believed that the families of the Rich
mond people who are stranded in Eng
land, France and the countries of the
southern part of the war stricken belt
in Europe, will soon be able to hear
from the tourists.

Ralph Tompkins age 20, of New
burgh, N. Y, who is engaged in a
world tour on foot, arrived in the city
this morning. He has before him the
task of seeing the United States. He
has but one leg and is going about the
country on crutcheS.
He will sing at the Murray and Muir
rette theatres Wednesday and Thurs
day evening.
When a lad of four years, he met
with the loss of one OF his legs in a
railroad accident. The ease with
which he covers distances has enabled
him to make some remarkable records
for long distance hikes, despite the in
trinity. He secures his expenses by
singing at theatres enroute, singing
songs of his own composition. He in
tends to visit every large city in the
United States in the next four years
and then travel through Europe. He
carries maps with his route outlined
on them.

BERLIN, via Copenhagen and Lon
don. Aug. 19.-An official news agency
states that the forts at Liege have
been captured by German troops, and
that the city and it's Notifications will
be used as base of operations in the
Belgian campaign. 1t says that some
forts were partly demolished by the
German artillery, but gives no details
as to the fighting or the casualties.
Though all the Americans here are
anxious to get out of the war zone as
soon as possible, there is no panic
among them. They are receiving cour-
teous treatment from both civilians
and soldiers.
The American embassy is besieged
daily by applications for transporta-
ton from the country. They have been
listed and tickets for special trains
provided by the government to carry
them to Holland are distributed in the
order of application.
The departing Americans will be ac-
companied by an attache of the embas-
sy to Rotterdam, where they will be
able to secure rooms until the depart
ure of liners for the United States.
The rush at the embassy has almost
worn out its staff. Mr.. and Mrs. Ger
ard have had little sleep for two weeks.

SLUMP IN PRICES
TO FOLLOW FIGHT
SAYS WHOLESALER
With Foreign Markets Cut
Off, Local Dealer Sees
Signs of a Rapid Fall From
Abnormal Rise.

Even though the prediction made by
D local wholesale dealer To-Day uoes
not come true it is mighty pleasing 10
housewives, who for two weeks nave
shuddered as they gazed at Dolo mead
lines announcing increased prices on
all foodstuffs from pepper to peanuts.
The prediction made by this whole
sale man was that with few exceptlons
increased prices Of staples We're artl-
ficial and that a reaction would set IN
shortly. He says that the European
war in the long run will tend to reduce
prices on the majority of staples, ana
announces that the market mas al
ready begun to slide downward.
Take big majority of the staples
canned in this country as an
example," said this wholesaler.
American canned goods, especially
California fruits, notably prunes and
apricots, have had splendid market
in Europe. That market is now
closed so the Gamers must flnd
market for all their goods mere at
home. Already there has been
noticeable decrease in many varieties
OF canned staples.
Il also believe there will be drop
in the prices on most kinds OF meat,
especially beef. England in the past
has been heavy buyer of American
beef She will be able to purchase
our beef again as soon as she COM
mands the seas and her shipping is
safe, but not in the quantities she
has in the past, because money IN
England will be tight and meats will
be a luxury. The decrease in the
European demand for American meats
means that the packers will find their
market here at home. Argentine Re
public, losing a large part OF its big
European beef business will seek a
market for it's surplus in the United
States.
There will be some staples or
which abnormal prices will obtain be
cause of the European war, but | con
fidently believe there will be reduc
tions on enough other staples to offse
this"
