AMERICANS IN LONDON.
Wealthy Men Purchase Steamer and
Will Furnish Transportation.

London, August 81 Fhe panic
among the thousands OF Americans
stranded in London was partially re-
lieved yesterday when it was an
nounced that few of the wealthy
men caught here with their country
men by the outbreak of war, would
purchase the steamer Viking, $500
tons, and having cabin .pccommoda-
tions for 400 passengers. The vi
king will Sal! from Liverpool for New
York on Monday, August 10. The
consmittee invited Americans in dis
tress to file applications for bookings
ut their headquarters at the Savoy
Hotel.
Another steamer of the Viking
Line will leave later, carrying Ameri-
cans without funds, the tariff for
whose transportation will be nomi-
nal.
The Great Eastern Railway Com
pany has issued a notice stating that
the company would accept any cash
express company's checks, travellers
checks and similar paper all day
Thursday, out that no more than $50
would be given to any individual.
The American Citizens Committee
is doing Herculean work to provide
temporary relief for the men and
women who are actually suffering
from want of proper food and shelter
to obtain sufficient steamship accom-
modationS to get them all hcne as
speedily as possible: Eighty thou
sand other Americans are known to
be trying to get out of the Conti
nent to make their way to London.
Worse still, it is known that there
are $4,000 ether Americans scattered
from Norway to Greece, who are so
far away from any chance of trans
portation that their plight must be
absolutely desperate.
These figures are based on the
known fact that 100000 Americans
crossed the ocean this summer, and
that only 10000 returned before the
outbreak cf hostilities between Aus
tria and Servia. Ten Thousand
Americans are stranded II, London.

Summary action by the United
States government probably will pre-
vent the sailing of the Vaterland

cutter has notified the port captains
of all the liners flying the flags OF

and without statement to the gov
