PASSPORTS BE-
ING CONSIDERED

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
London, Sept. 22-Americans without
passports have suffered so many hard
ships and delays in Europe since the
opening of the war that there is talk of
their advocating a sweeping order in
the United States requiring all Ameri-
cans to provide themselves with pass
ports before going abroad.
American diplomatic and consular
agents say they would not be surprised
If steamship lines operating between the
United States and Europe were to refuse
very shortly to accept passengers des-
tined for Europe If not provided with
passports or other authentic credentials.
By accepting passengers who have no
passports, the lines run a great risk I'm
der the rigid immigration regulations re-
Gently promulgated by England. Such
passengers are even likely to be sent back
to America at the expense of the steam
ship companies. This Is especially true of
naturalized American citizens who have
names distinctly foreign.
Proceedings of prize courts also dis
close many complications in which sea-
men as well as passengers have fire.

papers to prove their nationality

without security and without interest
but to date all of the loans have been
repaid with the exception of about
$3.50.
The next step was formation of the
Committee of American Residents,
with Ambassador Page as President
Hoover as chairman, Clarence Graft as
treasurer, and F. C. Van Duzer as sec
rotary. The benevolent fund to
which the American residents sub
scribed amounted to $16,333 and a
fund to guarantee banking operations
amounted to $41,9S3.
An American Citizens Committee
was also formed at a mass meeting of
tourists, and Theodore Hetzler was
named chairman, W. North Duane Sec
rotary and William C. Breed treasur-
er, all from New York. The depar-
ture of members of the tourists or
ganization caused it's practical ex-
tinction about the middle of August,
but during its existence it spent near
ly $4,000 for relief and also $4,000 to
the residents committee.
In midAugust, the committee was
authorized by Dr. Page to draw on
and help administer the congressional
fund of 100000.
So far $4,000 has been drawn
from the congressional appropriation,
covering the relief of 1000 persons.
But the committee has made available
to Americans in all about $500, 900
through supplemental banking and
varioussmeans. over 1900 have been
financed home either entirely or in
part by the committee
There has been some friction be-
tween the committee and a small
minority of refugees who objected
either to drawing on their own re-
sources for their fares home or to ac-
cepting third class on the steamers.
But the large majority have been
grateful for an opportunity to help
themselves.
AT times the committee had as many
as 1000 persons in lodgings under its
control, involving a vast amount of
work. On one day 900 tourists ar
rived at Victoria station from Flush
ing between A. M. and midnight OF
these $50 were advanced money on
the platform for immediate food, and
altogether $50 sent to selected lodg-
ings. The unescorted women and
children alone numbered 232 Over
$500 was expended in this days work.
Some 10000 tourists have registered
and been indexed with the committee
since the beginning, for the informa-
ton of friends, and a daily bulletin
with useful information has been is
sued with a circulation as high as
10000 copies daily.

We saw terrible scenes. This was
true of stretch or straight

two French field artillery regiments

stood in the road in marching order;
the horses-six to each piece-lay dead
in the traces as If struck by lightning.
Near them were scattered the dead
