LONDON, Aug Transportation
facilities for Americans on the con-
tinent had so improved today that
Ambassador Page and the American
relief committee had been relieved Of
much Of their concern except regard
ing those still in Germany. Arrange
ments have been made to run two mil
itary trains from Paris to Boulogne
daily. Stops will be made at all sta
tions and boats will meet the trains
at Boulogne for the crosse Channel
trip. No difficulty is being experience
ed by Americans seeking to leave Bel
gium, upwards of 500 having arrived
from Ostend.
Word has reached Ambassador
Page that many Americans without
funds are stranded in Scandinavian
countries. Efforts are to be made to
arrange for Scandinavian banks to
honor travellers checks and letters of
credit, which may be presented by
these refugees.
Owing to the contributions which
have been received here and the gem
orally improved conditions. those in
charge of the funds available for
Americans now hope that the money
forwarded by the government may not
have to be used in London.
This money will be needed on the
continent, however, Ambassador Page
and those assisting him on the re-
lief committees are anxious that 1t
reach the stranded refugees there as
soon as possible. 1t is estimated
that there are 5000 destitute Amer
leans in Germany.
As all London papers are greatly
reduced in size owing to the threat
ened shortage Of paper they have not
been able to publish any news as to
the American refugees in London. A
movement has been started to pub
lish a special paper devoted TO news
Of the American colony. M. ]. Jenny

goes through. Arrangements are also
being made with one of the Lon
don papers 70 give a page three times
