 EXPEDITION TO WAR ZONE.
Measures For Relief of Americans in
 Europe Progressing Rapidly.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Wash ington governments measures for the relief of Americans in Europe and plans of the Red Cross to send an ex- petitions to the war zones developed rapidly today. American embassies and legations throughout Europe were au- thorized by Secretary Garrison to charteD ships in which to bring home citizens Of the United States. Plans to send steamers from the United States were abandoned, because it was believed the movement of the refugees could be experiated by chartering neu- tral vessels at European ports.
 Information received at the state de- partnent gave assurances that the British order against the entry of aliens into England was not meant to apply to Americans on the continent who are trying to return to the United States by way of English ports
 Difficulties over the transmission of code messages between Berlin and Washington partially were removed when an understanding was reached with the British foreign office.
 Censors should not impede mes sages between the American state de- partment and the Berlin foreign office, or Ambassador Gerard, relating to the interests of Germans in France Of England However, it was said, such messages were being blocked at Copenhagen. making it necessary to route them by way of Rome.
 Secretary Bryan tonight cabled Am bassador Page at London to ask the British foreign office to arrange for the release of Harry Menthes, of St. Louis, who is reported to have been held as a German spy at Sunderland. England.
 Red Cross officials announced that there had been countrywide re- sponse to the appeal for funds to f. nance the relief expedition One indi- vidual contributing of $10,00o and an- other of $5,000 were reported tonight Dr. Dumba, Austro-Hungarian ambas- sador, now at his summer home in Massachusetts, expresse thanks to the Red Cross tonight for it's campaign ot "great help."-

TO BREAK DEADLOCK
 IN MONEY MARKET
English Government to Guarantee Bank of En1Iand iron, Any Loss It May Incur in Diseountins Bills,

London, Aug, 12. 1o-55 p. m.-wIth the purpose of terminating the pres ent deadlock in the money market and enabling trade and commerce to re- sume their normal courses. the gov- ernment has agreed to guarantee the Bank of England from any loss 1t may incur in discounting bills of ex- change of either home or foreign banks on trade accepted prior to Au- gust f.
 The Bank of England. therefore. an- nounces that 1t is prepared on the application of the owners of any ap- proved bill of exchange adopted before that date to discount 1t at any time before its due date at the bank rate and without recourse to such holder; and upon the bill maturing the bank will give the acceptor the opportunity of postponing payment. with interest at two per cent. over the bank rate.
 It also announced that the bank will be prepared to approve such bills of exchange as customarfiy are discount ed by 1t and also good trade bills and acceptances Of such foreign or colonial firms of bank agencies as are estab- lished in Great Britain
 The suspension by the British teie- graph system and the Western Unions other connections beyond London of the deferred plain language and the cable letter ad wee-end letter services, has mad it necessary to suspend those services-except to Great Britain and Ireland in which the Western Union is able to serve all points through its own offices in Great Britain: and ex- cept to Cuba. Argentine. Bolivia. Chile. Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, whose these supplementary services to the extent that they had previously been available. have not been interfered with. With view to minimizing the inconvenience to the public which would result from the complete with drawal of these supplementary ser vices, the company is continuing them as far as practicable; and all trans Atlantic messages taken at reduced rates for the present are subject to whatever delay may be involved in their unlimited defermert to full paid messages on hand.
 The company said that the British military censor will not pass service messages making inquiry in reference to the disposition or delivery of mes sages nor will they pass service mes sages calling for the repetition of cer- tain words. Mistakes, whether occur ring in transmission or otherwise therefore. can be corrected or fnforrna- ton as to the delivery Of messages developed only by the exchange Of paid messages directly between send CTS and addresses

WRONG START BY BOY FINANcIERs
Burlington Youths Alleged to Have Slick
Game.

Burlington, March William Bush
ey. aged IL, Cornelius Barios, aged IA !.
and Lewis Barlow, aged II, were arrest
led yesterday afternoon and their cases
will be taken up in juvenile court soon.
The charge against the three boys is
breaking into the Matted Cereals com
panys building and stealing $4,000 cou-
pons, the kind which are put into the
cereal packages and on which prizes are
given by firm in New York when a
sufficient number of the coupons are
saved up and forwarded, the value of
the prize depending on the number of
coupons sent.
The big coupon theft was committed
early last week and the boys, accord
ing to the allegation sent for a cHta-
logue. With $4,000 coupons at their
disposal they had an opportunity to Sc
lcct whatever appealed to their fancy
without the trouble of saving up. The
lads had got so far in their operations
that they had already received three
watches, German silver mesh bag, a
watch fob and stick pin. They had al.
so ordered another mesh bag, a fish pole
and a spy glass, but these last three
have not yet arrived, although they are
expected on most any mail The only
hitch in the scheme was that the theft
OF the coupons had been reported to
the police.
The police went yesterday to the Bush
ey house ut l6 Howard street and to
the Barlow house at IL Hayward street,
where they found the mesh bag and a
burlap sack which contained several
thousand coupons not yet redeemed. The
boys first denied they had been doing
anything wrong and their parents were
equally ignorant of anything out of the
way, but after the lads had been grilled
a little they made a clean breast of the
whole thing.
The Matted Cereal company building
has been broken into several times and
money. pens, stamps, etc, taken.
