lBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

Dieppe, Aug. 1.-The heavy hand Of
war has not fallen upon an unprepared
and unwilling France. The tears shed
are women's tears. Men with the Mar
settles "Chant du Depart" on their lips,
are joining their corps according to the
instructions which every ablebodied
Frenchman knows by heart and keeps
in writing i'm the family vault.
In the fashionable watering places Of
Normandy twelve hours has wrought

perious guest of yesterday, along with
the waiter and porter. is an obedient
private to-day. In Dieppe, where Ham
iiton Fishs wife is among American
guests. the Casino at midnight became
A barracks. In the afternoon and even
ing the play was the highest OF the
season.
Ii was impossible 20 get from Eng

time had TO be passed some way:
Promptly at midnight the green-balzed
tables were supplanted by blankets; ana
over tennis courts, where in the alter
noon Germot. the French champion, de-
foated Dixon, the English veteran,
company Of heavy-booted soldiers
marched. Then the guests, crouplers
and recruits sang the "Marseiilaise
and God Save the King" and the
guards took the place of the ticket
takers at the gates.

DUTCH MOBILIZE;
PEOPLE in A PANIC
Frantic Run or Savings
Banks, and Shops Are
Besieged for Food.

Amsterdam, Aug. THAT Holland is
in the midst of war is evident here. On
all sides there are signs Of military
preparation.
The mobilization order by Queen
Wilhelmlna was answered so readily
that the operation was soon completed.
The peaceful streets of the sleepy
Dutch cities present an unwonted as
Feet. Troops are constantly moving
and are being lodged in the public
buildings.
The mobilization decree caused a
panic among the poorer classes, and
there was q frantic run on savings
banks; crowds besieged the shops for
food supplies and the excitement in
creased when the postofiices, railways
and commercial houses refused to give
coin for notes.
Business has been seriously ham
pered by the withdrawal Of employees
to Join their regiments, and all public
services are almost at standstill
This is the birthday of the Queen
f.other. but all celebrations were coun-
fernandez.

prevent the cornering Of foodstuf. 1t
will also introduce bills authorizing

MERCHANT MARINE
BILL CAUSES ROW
fFrom The Tribune bureau.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The failure Of
administration leaders to consult re-
garding the emergency currency and
merchant marine measure which Mr..
Underwood expects to put through to-
morrow may result in obstructive tao
tics by the minority leader, Mr.. Mann,
and his colleagues.
These two important measures, the
result Of the desperate war situation
in Europe, are scheduled for considera-
tion as soon as the House convenes to-
morrow noon.
It developed to-day that although
the approval of these measures by
unanimous consent will be proposed,
members OF the House minority have
not been consulted by administration
leaders. Republican members feel that
they should have been consulted in
advance regarding the unusual pro-
posal 20 rush the measures through the
House.
The Republicans may withdraw their
opposition, or the majority may sus-
pend the rules and put the bills
through, but Mr. Mann is understood

nous consent request.
