AMERICANS BROKE IN PARIS
Ambassador Herrlek Wants Gold
Rushed BY a Cruiser.

Paris.-The situation Of Americans
on account of the war crisis Is bad.
Their panic was increased by the clos
ing Of banks, Cooks agency and Amer
lean Express. The inability to secure
money is the chief peril Of the Amer
leans, for there will be plenty Of trains
to boats after mobilization is over.
Ambassador Herrick, however, con.
siders the financial situation 80 criti.
cal. II is reported, he will ask Wash.
ington to send a swift cruiser with
cargo OF gold to enable Americans to
cash their checks, at present useless.
He also will ask for transports to IA.
cilitate getting out Of the country.
The most unfortunate part Of the
situation is the fact that such a great
number of American women are here
alone. Several hundred are in the
embassy. The majority of Americans
at the embassy are refugees from Ger
many and Austria.

says the national commission Will not
yield an inch to the fraternity.
That's the situation, Is far as any
n on the outside konws. Any pre-
dictions made today are guesses only.
The biggest feature of Johnson's
rather wordy answer, to the players
was. a threat to fine all players who
strike, refuse to pay them for time
lost, and close the. A. L. parks and
keep them closed the rest of the sea
son if necessary.
Would the league allow johnson to
go so far Is to close the parks?
Undoubtedly, and jump at the ex-
cuse to do so, if it is possible to make
the public believe that the players are
responsible for the failure to provide
entertainment. ..
1t would be a great piece of bust
ness luck for the magnateS. Few of
them are making money at the pres
ent time. In some cities Federal teams
have cut into the patronage. In 9TH
ers there r purely local causes for
the attendance slump. But the slump
is there. ......
BY closing the parks the magnates
would not. take in any. coin at the
gate. But neither would they have
to pay out anything in expenses.
Which would mean a plugging of
the leak in several treasures.
johnson has the American mag
mates meeting in wal council with
him in New York today. They will
canvass the situation carefully, and
comes to a decision.
onthe say of one maj depends the
result. That man is President Comis-
key of the White Sox. Commy is
never given to much conversation,
but he is a power in the league, and
does not hesitate to put his foot down
when he thinks Johnson is wrong.
If Commy decides to support Ban,
then the A. L. executive will have a
