$4,000 AMERICANS
TO SAIL HOME SOON
They Are Pouring Into London
and Some Will Get Away on
Celtic Today.

LONDON, Aug. 7-Cpwards Of 1900
Americans are expected to sail for home
within the next week or ten days. They
continued to pour into London today
from the Continent. More than ECO
have arrived within the last twenty
four hours and others are on tho way.
1t was estimated today that there
are $500 Americans in London at the
presen: time All arc suffering the
Greatest Inconvenience due to the loss
Of their baggage and lack of funds, but
their immediate needs have been cared
for by the American relief committee.
Women have suffered the most Of
those who have reached London safely.
Tn.y were crowded into trains under
the worst possible conditions. No one
was permitted to carry anything more
than hand luggage and all trunks were
left behind. Those arriving from France
told of passing troops everywhere NOV
ing toward the frontier.
All business IN France is suspended,
they declared. Shops. stores, and fields
are deserted save for the women en-
deavoring to do the work left behind
by their husbands and sons, who are at
the front
The liner Celtic was scheduled to sail
today. Every cabin was taken, and the
steerage was packed. The Celtic will
carry 200 passengers.

FRENCH FIND CIPHER
IN BILLBOARD ADS
Innocent Looking Signs Give
War Data for Use of German
Invaders.

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Advertisements all
over France are being torn down by
the authorities today, as the result OF
an alarming discovery that the Germans
have the entire country posted with
signs to guide their army. Most OF
these signs are in the forms of appar-
emily innocent advertisements.
A company designating itself as the
"Bouillion kub" lsoup cube), a German
firm doing an immense business In
France with compressed meat essence,
had signs posted in every section Of
the country.
Various arrangements Of its cubes on
Autographs SO that they appeared in
groups of different numbers, or looked
like triangles, or bore certain geometric
relations to each other, bore certain
messages intended for the German in
vaders. So say French army experts,
who have been investigating the mat
ter.
An innocent looking sign in a depart
ment remote from Paris. according to
the experts, meant: This village has
so many Inhabitants, armed men, cat
tie, bakeries and so on To the cb-
server. this would mean no moro than
a suggestion to use "Bouillion Kub.''
but to the Germans, 1t would. mean
knowledge Of incalcuable value and
probably sustenance for weeks.

TRADE ROUTES RE-
OPENED

Almost within a day Of England's
entry into the war, giving her the
right to drive German warships off
the seas, the ocean trade routes be-
gin to clear. British shipping firms
are officially informed that they are
again free to ply their traffic in the
north seas.
1t will not be many days-unless
the German feet is able to meet and
vanquish England's sea power-until
the transatlantic highways are
wide open to the merchantmen of all
Triple Entente allies and neutrals.
So, if the United States has the
vessels in which to freight our
wheat, corn, and other products to
the European consumers eager to
buy them, we can restore a great
part of our international trade, so
suddenly wiped out, resume indus
trial, commercial, and financial &C.
tivity, now at a standstill, and even
begin a business boom, restocking
emp.ied markets all over the worlG.
But we must have the ships. Get
them!

MRS. WILSON'S DEATH.

Through the grief with which it
learns of the death Of the Presidents
wife, the nation will not fail to give
thought to the burdens it imposes
and the sacrifices it demands from
those to whom it gives its most dis
tinguished honors. Mrs. Wilson
would probably have survived many
years yet but for the stress which
her position as wife of n Presiden-
tial candidate and a President laid
on her.
In an hour in which, as chief Of
The greatest nation now in peace, he
faces the troubles of a warning
world, the President is called to bear
the greatest personal affiiction that
could have come to him. All the
world, especially the whole American
people, will turn reverent faces to-
ward the stricken family in the
White House. The thought will be
in every mind, of how futile is the
wish that strength and hope might
re loared to those who must carry
mis- onus of sorrow.
That the acerbit;es Of partisanship
will be laid aside, that common af-
fiction will draw this people to-
gether in love and pity around the
little family group on which is laid
most heavily the load of mourning,
that there will be in every heart the
purpose to pledge a sincere support
10 the racked and distraught head of
e nation whose one thought today is
that Of sympathy and fellowship,
need hardly be suggested.

In making clear the position he
takes that the problem of moving

tary Redfeld points out that Europe

The United States, with record crops
soon to be moved, will be the coun-
try, Secretary Redfield believes. to-
ward which EuropSs eyes Will be
turned.
Boats To Move Soon.
The question of transportation,
Secretary Redfeld believes, will be
settled as soon as the supremacy
of the seas Is established. If, as
is generally believed, England and
France soon will be able to COM
mand the seas, then the English
and French merchant vessels would
re-establish their sailings and there
would be boats to move the crops.
This would leave the question open
as to what commerce could be re-
established between Germany and
Austria, but II would insure an Euro
pean market for American goods.
In addition to this, the bill now
before the Senate, providing for the
transfer to American registry Of
under foreign flags, Will permit the
transportation of the country's ex-
ports The Department OF Commerce
already has been unofficially ad-
vised that the big fleets Of the
United Fruit Company and the

try when the bill becomes law. The
removal OF the restriction against
the employment OF foreign officers,
which previously has been one Of
the strongest barriers to such q
course. will permit this.
The enforcement Of the neutrality
laws by the navy and revenue cut
ter service, and the censorship es-
tablished by Secretary Daniels over
wireless stations, were decided upon
to prevent the occurrence OF any.
act at which foreign nation
might take offense. To this Presi-
dent Wilson has added an order that
all active and retired officers Of
the army and navy shall be advised
to refrain from making any public
comment on the European war situ-
alton.
With these preliminary steps taken
by the Government. 1t Is believed
that all has been done that reason
ably could be expected IN meeting
a situation which was precipitated
overnight. The Government now
has caught its breath and is await

alton before planning further relief
measures.

in Turkey, as Napoleon was sent to
Elba; end he came back, as Napoleon
did. Like Napoleon once more, he
had some brilliant successes after his
return; he was on the point of max
ing a favorable peace with Russia,
which would have left him free to
devote himself to defeating Den
mark and Prussia, when his end
came. Instead of losing his last
great battle. he lost his life on its
field, at Frederickshall.
This was the end of Sweden as a
first class power. The rise of Rus
sia, the increasing solidarity that
foreshadowed the unification of Ger
many, left for Sweden no place in
the sun.
The story of Charles XII has been
outlined roughly, with the s,.gges-
tion of points in which it resembles
that CT the great Corsican. In
another way it suggests aspects of
the career of the present German
ruler. Charles XII inherited the
throne of great and powerful Swe-
den, as did William II of DOM
inant Germany. Each believed
the military arm must be developed
to the highest efficiency. Each un-
dertook vast projects of conquest,
confident in his star. Charles XII
was one of the most dominating of
men. He was sure that he knew
better what was good for his coun-
try than his people could possibly
know It; wherein he was not wholly
unlike the present Kaiser. In the
end he fell because his projects were
too vast ard ambitious for Europe
to permit. His couutry's epoch Of
first rate authority ended with his
fall. The Kaiser is now in the midst
of the vast conflict of the nations
whose result may decide whether
Germany will see like outcome.
Sweden of today is yet no mean
country. The civilization of the
Scandinavian peninsula has been
pronounced by competent students
the finest flower of prcsent-day
Christian society. 1t is one of the
barriers which hold back the Slavs
from the Atlantic. The natural and
traditional enemy Of Russia, if it

GOEBEN--AND OREGON.

Modern war has its drama as well
5 its naked horrors; and the very
neginning of the present clash of the
rations brings one of the most dra-
matte episodes that could well be
conjured.

Goeben and the cruiser Breslau, hav-
ing sought refuge in the harbor of
Messina, Italy, from 4 vastly super
Tor British and French force in the
Mediterranean, were notified by the
Italian government that they must
cave or be dismantled and held
throughout the war.
There was no hesitancy about the
decision. The German commander

his guns, raised the empires battle

steam in his boilers and the ships

for the dash that might mean glory
or apnihilation.
Messina is port of Sicily, just at
The western end of the strait of Mes

the toe of the Italian boot. The Goe-
ben had the choice between dashing
eastward for the strait, and going
westward in the hope of circum-
navigating Sicily and getting into
the Adriatic, where he might pos

The Washington times., 1914-08-07

Briefly stated. the problems SET
tied are:
The enforcement of tho neutral-
ity laws.
The financial relief Of Americans
marooned abroad.
The providing of sufficient cur
rency to prevent financial distress
at home.
In way Of solution, but not final
ly settled. are these problems:
The transportation homo OF
Americans in Europe.
The moving of crops and goods
tied UP at American ports.
A system of international credits
that will insure payment Tor
American sales abroad.
A plan for the uninterrupted move
ment of American commerce TO
American countries.
The first Of these problems Is
near solution. Secretary OF war
Garrison is ready to send the
TRANSPORTS leased by the army Tor
use during the Mexican trouble
for American tourists as soon as
he Is given definite information rs
to how many Americans there are
to be brought home. and where
they are.
May Charter Foreign Ships.
Tn addition to this. Secretary Gar
rison has been furnished with a list
OF vessels in the coastwfse trade
which he will charter II he can oo-
tain them on the same terms as the
transports engaged for Mexican
service. If. as the Secretary has
been unofficially informed, an at
tempt Is made to raise prices oy
coastwise shipping interests. their
boats will not be hired, but vessels
of neutral nations will be cnar rtereo
for use IN the emergency: orders
NAV go out within the next twenty
four hours for the first movement
OF transports to Europe to bring
refugees home. as the State Depart
ment Is collecting definite fnrorma-
tin as to the needs In this regard
for transmission to Secretary Car
rison.
Plans for establishing q system OF
international credits are being
worked out by the Treasury Depart
ment in cooperation with leading
foreign exchange bankers here and
abroad. European bankers are aid
ing In the solution Of this question:
The statement of the chancellor or
the exchequer, in London last night.
that the British government had de-
ctded to issue today, in addition to
the usual denominations, notes OF
] pound and 10 shillings. convertible
into gold at the Bank Of England,
and that the bank rate had been
reduced from 10 per cent to s per
cent, had a distinctly setting effect
on international finances. The State
Department was advised of these
steps, and also Of the decision of the
Bank OF England that II Is not nee
essary to suspend payments in gold,
as had been threatened.
Trade Problem For Europe.
The other serious problem remain
ing, that of moving the crops and
providing for the resumption Of
American commerce abroad. Is de-
clared by Secretary OF Commerce

rapid transit add to the facility in
transmitting orders and moving con-
siderable forces. There have been
for many years rumors Of wonderful
new explosives controlled by differ

1t would seem reasonable to hope
that if these and other new devices
for adding to the horrors of war do
not make it SO terrible as 20 be i'm
possible in future, the economic cost
of maintaining them may serve the
same purpose. Until the contest is

the reserved possibility that one side
or the other has "up it's sleeve"

ton, not yet known to the enemy.
