F'olf is answerabie for a good many things In modern life Among other things, 1t is changing the holiday habits of members of Parliament. Since George Treveyan has told us how in the old days the rising of Parliament even for short recess. sent half the members hur- rying across the channel. Tho more sober went to Paris to study politics there: the more literary found their Mecca In the salons of the same capital, and chopped epigrams with the witty ladies of the period. The more frivolouus went to repenish their wardrohes, and came back on the packet gasping under the effects of wearing half e dozen waist- coats, besides more intimate garments in layers, in order to cheat the customs.
 In the nineteenth century it was very much the same, but members went still further afied. In the diaries of Sir NJ. b. Grant-Duff 1t will be found that he and his friends generally waited impa- tiently the taking of the last division. with their wives and luggage at the sta- ton, and then tore off to France, Ger many or Italy. There is an amusing saloon occupied by prostratc members or tho government and opposition parties spread out by chance on opposite benches. Halfway across the least affected of the latter raised his head to remark that he "intended to ask the government a question presently. Now members stay at home and golf. MT.

Rotterdam, August 26.--Nia London, 9:45. The steamship Rotterdam will sail for the United States Saturday with almost 5000 passengers.
 The American consul general at this port, Soren Listo. has been endeavoring to prevent small steamship concerns nerr advertising alleged steamship accommo- dations for stranded Americans. These concerns plan to put as many as 250 pas sengers on a a000-ton vessel not built for passenger traffic. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the American minister, has made repre- sentations to the government on this score.
 There has been no great influx of Amer jeans in the last four days, but it is be- lieved thousands will arrive from Ger many as soon as the Berlin relief bureau makes possible the cashing of drafts. Men familiar with the situation express the opinion that more steamers should be procided to transport these people. They say steamers should sail from Dutch ports direct
 It Is impossible here to obtain accurate figures as to the number of Americans still on the continent fair estimate is thought to be from 15.n00 to 10000 in addition to those at Rotterdam awaiting transportation. Americans who have reached here on the regular trains from Germany say the treatment they received was excellent

 CONSIDERATION

' London. August 26.-9:40 D. m.)-T. s. Eliot of St. Louis, a student in the sum- fner school of Madgeburg university. Madgeburg, Germany, arrived in London today with a number of students from Freiberg and other German universities closed on account of the war.
 The German officials said MT. Eliot, showed the students much considera- tion and helped us in every way but traf- flee was interrupted and there were few trains. Consequently foreigners are get ting out of Germany slowly.
 'rhe Russian men students have been detained and the Russian women students are at Madgeburg being cared for in a convent. It Is unlikely that any of the German universities will open this fall as virtually all the German students and professors are subject to military duty.

tier is complete and that the position thus held are little less than impreg- nahle. The Germans will find that their next movement against the allies will be much more difficult than that which confronted them a week ago.
 General Joffre's troops now will be devoting all their energy to an stubborn defense. They are the anvil A Musco- Vite hammer is gathering all it's im- facnse force for crushing blow in Fosnania. Hence it is most important that the allied forces should stand firm.
 The hammer is doing excellently al- though the preliminary work is nec- essarily slow because of the Russians lack of facilities for mobilization. Nevertheless the progress thus far made by Russia has exceeded the most optimistic expectations and the Ger ratns are likely to pay dearly for their undervaluation of Russian efforts.
 The outstanding fact Is that the hammer is well poised for action. If the anvil only stands firm the enemy must be speedily crushed between them. Here is the situation of the three- sided Russian advance.
 ''At present east Prussia is fin pro- cess of being cleared of German troops willie in Posen another Russian army ia moving almost unopposed and soon will be within 150 miles of Berlin. Meanwhile in Galicla the Austrian troops are making no effective re- sistance."

The Hague August 26.--(via London, $50 D. m)-The military correspondent of the Nieuwe Courant declares he can state on trustworthy authority that the Germans plan to abandon temporarily east and west Prussia and Pomerania to the Russians and withdraw slowly to
 the river Oder, where the main defenses of Berlin lie.
 Germany" according to the corres- pendent, appears to have undertaken this measure to give time to her army operating against France to try and deal the British and French armies their death blow and then to march on to Paris, the distance between Mons and Paris being four times less than the distance between St. Petersburg and Berlin."k
