Disgusting Treatment
 of French Ambassador

PARIS, Aug. 7-Jules Cambon, the French ambassador to Germany. while on his way from Berlin to Copen- hagen. was stopped at a station in side the German frontier, according to official reports, and informed by the major accompanying him that he could not continue his journey unless he paid over nine hundred dollars. The ambassador did not have so much cash but offered a check on a Berlin bank which was refused. M. Cambon finally borrowed from travelling com- panions enough to make up the re- quired sum in gold, demanding the officers word and honor that he would be permitted to reach the Danish frontier, which was given.
 Americans in Paris are tranquil, but Ambassador Herrick is receiving panicky message from Americans in smaller sea coast resorts and other places, who have means of obtaining regular news of events except every kind of alarming rumors afloat. Some of these telegrams ask if it is true that the Gelman fleet has escaped into the Atlantic and whether there is danger of French towns being hombarded To each message the ambassador sends a reassuring reply.
 It appears that few newspapers are being published in towns in France outside of Paris and that people in these towns have no means of ob- taining news except from posters with summaries of events telegraphed from Paris to local officials.
 The American embassy has issued certificates to about 400 Germans. These who are without means are being given a daily allowance from the fund which the German ambassa- dor left for that purpose before his departure The Germans here are really regarded as prisoners by French authorities. On each passen- ger train going south or west there is a so-called German car, set apart for Germans who have been ordered to a district where they can be kept under surveillance The car is un- der military guard but the guard is more for the protection of the Ger mans from possible insults than to restrict their liberty.
 United States Ambassador Herrick telegraphed to American consular of ficers in France asking how many Americans there are in their districts who desire to return to the United States. The ambassador is compiling a list of such Americans, so as 10 be able to arrange for their embarking for home when the opportunity offers
 The war office informed Herrick that a safe port would be indicated for American transports but it's situ ation would not be announced at the present time and might not be made public until shortly before the arrival of the ships. While it is not known under what terms Americans will be taken home, the ambassador says that all will be properly cared for.
 The French liner France had no sailed from Havre up to last nigh nor was it known precisely when i would sail. No explanation wa: given for delay, but it is supposed that it was due to fear of German cruisers in American waters.
 The French ambassador to th' United States, Jules J. Jusserand. l! aboard the France, and that steamer and the Chicago may sail together Sunday, possibly with naval con voy.
 The French war office is arrangin' to accept foreign volunteers beginning August 21. They will be organized into a foreign legion and be assembl ed provisionally at Rouen, Bois or leans, Lyons, Avignon, mad Bayonne
 A herd of cattle driven through tn central districts and horses pickete' in the small parks on either side O the Champs Elysees were among tn odd sights in Paris today, but tn city was tranquil.
