CAPE IS WORRIED
OVER FIR. LEVAN
Father Walsh Cables to
Paris to Ask For Safety
OF Priest

Anxiety for the welfare of Father
Levan has become so great among
his many friends in this city since
the war troubles have arisen in
Europe, that Father Walsh has cabled
the heads of the Catholic Church in
Paris, asking whether or not Father
Levan is safe and rcqu ,sting a reply
stating whether he had left Paris,
and if not, when he would start for
home.
Father Walsh stated last night
that he had grave doubts as to
whether Father Lcvan would be able
to return to his parish here within
six months or more.
In his cablegram last night he also
inquired about the safety of several
other priests who with Father Levan
are delegates to big Catholic
gathering from this section of Mis-
souri,.
The other members of the party
about whom inquiry was made are
Father Finney of Perryvillc, Father
Ryan, Hendricks Seminary of st.
Louis, and Father Musson of Perry
vile. When last heard from they
were with Father Lcvan in Paris
American Ambassadors in European
countries are being besicgcd by hordcs
of anxious cOuntrymcn to seek pas
sage home, but on account of the
confused state of affairs nothing can
be done for their relief except to
provide for their comfot and await
developments. Many of them are
-wiAAout funds, and are unable to
obtain money on thei checks despite
the fact that they possess letters Of
credit for large sums of money and
other satisfactory evidence of their
financial standing.
Many of these stranded Americans
fed to England when the trouble
began to develop into dangerous
aspect, and the Ambassador in Lon
don is constantly occupied in en-
dcavoring to pacify them by assur-
anccs that means of transportation
will be provided for them as quickly
as possible
As yet no arrangements have lccn
made by the American government
to send ships for their transportation,
and many of them are wild with
the suspense Of waiting.

YANKEE HARBOR
Vessel, Laden With Gold
Starts Home, Then Creeps
Back to u. s.

BAR HARBOR, Me. Aug. A.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Kronprinzessin Gee allc, carrying SlO,-
100000 gold and whose whereabouts
have been ystcry since she sailed
from New York last Tuesday. arrived
in the harbor here today.
The Cccellc dropped anchor It
6 O'Clock this morning after forced
run of four days, her officers fearing
capture.
With cargo of Sl0,000,0O0 in
gold and million in silver, consigned
to French and English bankers, with
an estimated value of $1,000, 900 in
herself the German ship constituted
probably the finest sea prize ever
open to capture.
As she crept along the Maine coast
an into the harbor under the cover
of night, each deck, at every port
hole, was blanketcd with canvas so
that not a CLEAN of light betrayed her
whereabouts. Her four stout stacks
had been tipped with black paint
so that she rescmbled an English
steamship.
At one time capture seemed i'm
minent Capt. Charles Polack report
ed on Sunday that he had intercepted
a wireless message from one French
vessel to another giving warning of
the Cecille's proximity, but under the
protection of a providential fog, the
North German Lloyd liner escaped.
She had $50 frst-class, 1870 second
class and 1856 steerage passengers.
About third of the frst-class are
Germans who sailed To anticipate the
war crisis whose sudden precipitation
drove them back to America Most
of the rest are Americans.
Friday night, while a dance was in
prog ess, one of the passengers no
ticed that the position of the moon
had uncountably shifted to the port
side of the ship. Before the signif-
canoe of this was realized the captain
called the men into the smoking room,
"GentIcmen,' he said, "war has
been declared between England,
France, Germany and Austria. We
are going back to America We have
enough coal for our return home, and
II is my earnest hope that we shall
not be intercepted by foreign war
vessels"

The crisis which Just now hovcrs
over all Europe is causing apprchcn-

friends and relatives of Cape people
who are now abroad
W A. Vernon, who is engaged
by the Frisco railroad in its con-
struCtion work along the lcvec, yes
tcrday received q letter from his
mother, the Hon. Mrs William

Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in which
she expressed much fear of being
marooncd in Europe for along time.
Mrs, Vernon, who is accompanied

to Cape ,.Girerdeau in the early aut-
tumn to visit her son. who is civil
engineer Since the announcement
that all German lines are being fitted
up AZ transport cruisers by the
kaiscr's government, it il feared
that she will not be able to leave
Switzerland.
Mr., Vernon said last night that
he knew his mother was out of the
danger zone so long M she remained
where she is at present. There are
several Missourians in the party

Cape Girardeau, is now in England.
She departed several weeks ago
with a young lady friend and her
mother from Columbia Miss Oliver

abroad, travelling through much of
the country which is now threatened
with war.
She has been in Europe but a short
time, and messages have been re-
ceivcd daily by her relatives andmany
friends in the city.
The letters from Miss Oliver thus
far received were written before the
crisis was reached, messages sent
after that time would hardly have
had time to reach this city,
While many of her friends make
daily inquiries about her, Miss Oliver
family are not alarmed Az she was
with IA party and are now in a part
Of Europe where no immediate danger
could come, her relatives expect
her to cancel her trip and sail for
home at a very early date,

of St Vincent's church, Who sailed
for Europe several weeks ago, is
now in Paris, one of the cities par
ticularly affected by the war situation.
No word has been received from
him since he reached that city, but
several post cards reached Cape

messages were sent before he landed
on the other side Of the ocean.
Most of them were written while
