Use Stone BuIwarks at
Sewers For Wall "Fill'

Much fine filling material for the
space back of the concrete steps along
the river front is being obtained from
the peninsulas of river stone which
have served as bulwarks for the eX-
tended sewer line at different points
from one end of the city to the other.
To-day the big steam shovel of the
Sucker Brothers Construction Com
pany was rapidly dissipating the
mound of river stone and gravel which
has marked the outlet of the big
lateral sewer at Front and Hamilton
streets. This heavy material is being
hauled to the space back of the wall
and utilized in filling the stringers
and under the steps.
Operations on the River Front
work are being rushed at the present
time in order to take advantage of the
lew stage of the river. If the steps
can be installed within the next few
weeks, as is confidently expected, a
slight rise in the river during the late
summer will not interfere with the
work. Meanwhile the contractors are
dredging the low river line west of the
wall and where the steam shovel can
not do the work men and carts will
complete the job.
Foreman Williams and his gang of
hustlers are at work on the concrete
strihgers in the vicinity of the pump
ing station at North street, while other
gangs are busy on the base wall and
steps further south.

Many Atlantic Liners
Chased by WGrships
Bv Associated Press

New York, Aug. 6.-The presence
close to the American coast of war
Ships of the warning European ma
tions prepared to descend upon and
capture the merchant vessels of their
opposing belligerents was evidenced
to-day by news of great Atlantic liners
arriving at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and
by reports by wireless of the warships
activities.
The fast Cunard liner Mauretania
with 1,500 passengers from Piverpool
and the White Star finer Cedric from
Queenstown, to-day raced into the
Canadian port presumably to escape
pursuit by two German cruisers, be-
lieved to be lowering in the vicinity of
Grand Banks for just such prizes.
These two cruisers in one report
which came to the British consulate
here from the captain of an incoming
liner, were sunk by British warships,
while pursuing the Lusitania yester-
day.
In New York harbor lies the Ham
burg American liner Vaterland ap-
parently provisioned for service, but
to-day the United States battleship
Florida took position in the lower har-
Dor and neither the Vaterland nor any
other ship of a belligerent nation can
pass her guns until the United States
authorities have satisfied themselves
that their departure will not violate
the neutrality laws.

SAYS GEAR WOULD
RULE ALL EUROPE
DR.. Ernst Richard Calls Kaiser
Champion of Western
Civilization

New York, Aug. 6.-Dr. Ernst Rich
ard, president of the German-Ameri-
can Peace Society and founder of the
New York Peace Society, deplored the
attitude of the American press yester-
day. accusing the newspapers of TAX
ing sides against Germany. DIR. Rich
ard contended that the kaiser had
been driven into the war
DR.. Richard said that the opinion
OF Germans regarding the outcome of
the war was that France would pay
the bill no matter what Germany
might suffer at the hands of Russia
or England. Earlier in the day DR..
Richard gave out an interview to the
Evening Mail. in which he character
lied the American press taking sides
against the kaiser as race treachery.
Just as it will be race treachery for
the English to fight against Germany
and with Russia"
The clash in Europe was not
started by the Austria -Servian en-
broilment.' said DIR. Richard. Some
thing much deeper began it, and It is
from that deeper cause that the kaiser
and the German empire must he
judged in the present war. The deeper
and the real cause of the war is:
Shall Europe he ruled by Asiatics or
by Europeans-by Slavs or by Teu-
tons?
Cars Eyes On All Europe
Russia. with its Asiatic absolutism
and hatred .af the ideas of individual
liberty, means to make itself master
of all Europe as we'll as of Asia. The
car knows that the Teuton is his only
bar to that. and he means to seize
Europe and Asia even If he has to do

miles from here, when a Kansas City
Southern passenger train collided with
a Missouri and North Arkansas Rail-
road gasoline motor car, were brought
here early day.
a cheer was given when w. NJ.
Drury, of Webb City, Mo-. was taken
frcm the relief train. Drury, who.
with his wife and three children, was
aboard the wrecked motor car. was
only slightly injured. He quickly re-
moved the wreckage which covered
him and began a search for his fam
lily, which included a 9-month- old
baby.
He found them buried under the
back of a seat which was supported
by second seat. One by one he
brought them from the car. crawling
on his hands and knees through the
fire, which was rapidly consuming the
wreckage.
All l'were severely burned, but ply
siCians said they would recover. Later,
although his face and body were COW
cred with blisters where his clothing
had been burned away, Drury crawled
back into the wreckage and rescued
three other persons.
j. ]. Lauderback, of Joplin, crawled
through window and saved nine per-
sons pinioned under the wreckage. He
was obliged to fight with one woman,
whose child was lost, to make her
leave the burning car.
The wrecked train, northbound, was
late, having been delayed by a freight
wreck at Graveltt. Ark. Because of
this 1t was running on freight train s
schedule. The motor was running on
the Kansas City Southern tracks and
evidently its crew misunderstood or
ders to meet the passenger at Upton
Ford, for it ran past the station with
out stopping. A mile south of the
town IT met the passenger head on.

Republicans Join With
Democrats in Passing
Relief Bill For YankS


aid of Americans stranded in Europe,
Congress yesterday appropriated So
100000 10 be sent abroad on the Unit
ed States armored cruiser Tennessee.
The measure passed both houses
without the slightest opposition and
with the promise from all sides that if
the President asked for more he
would get ii easily.
The bill was reported to the House
after short hearing by the appro-
priations committee, at which Secre-
tary Bryan and Secretary McAdoo ex-
planned the necessity for immediate
action.
Secretary Bryan told the committee
that the State Department estimates
that $4,000 Americans are abroad, and
also that the department has been
successful in getting word to all
Americans in Europe for whom mes
sages had been left at the department,
although difficulty was experienced in
reaching travellers at a distance from
consuls in the war zone.
When Representative Fitzgerald, /,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, presented the measure in the
House he said:
Wilson to Do All I'm His Power
Il am authorized by the President
to say 1t is the purpose of the Admin
istration-and he believes that in do

patriotic support of men, regardless

the United States, to extend relief and
protection to American citizens in

The support of the Republicans to
all such emergency measures was
pledged by Representative Mann, the
Republican floor leader, who an
nounced:
Il think there ought to be no hesi-
tation about appropriating such sums
as the Administration may desire for
use in connection with our citizens

tion will not be too careful or too
cautious about the expenditure of the
money, because If they make mistakes

ALL HARRISBURG IS
URGED To AID RED
CROSS WORK ABROAD
George W. Rely, Treasurer Here,
Gets Letter From National
Headquarters

All Harrisburg to-day was officially
appealed to by the American Red
Cross to help in financial way the
work of the society in the battle-torn
fields and hospitals of Europe during
the great battle of the nations that is
now on.
The appeal arrived in the shape of
a letter to George W. Reilly, treasurer
of the Harrisburg Red Cross Chapter.
Mayor John X. Royal declared to-
day that he will hardly issue a formal
appeal to the people of the city, but
urges every thorough American to give
what aid he can to the great work.
The Mayor. like Mr.. Reilly, will re-
ceive contributions.
Here is the letter Mr.. Reilly receiv-
ed:
Letter to Treasurer
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 5, 1914.
Mr.. G.. w. Reilly,
Treasurer Harrisburg Red Cross
Chapter, Harrisburg, Penna:
Please use this appeal to raise funds
for the Red Cross; during our war
with Spain thousands of dollars were
sent by the European Red Cross socie-
ties to the American Red Cross to aid
in the care of our sick and wounded
soldiers. Now, in the hour of their
Cross. both for the sake of humanity
and to express our gratitude for their
aid to us in the time of trouble and
distress, has decided to charter a ship
and send to each country involved,
doctors, nurses and hospital supplies.
The ship, sailing under the Red
Cross flag, will be under the protection
of the treaties of Geneva and the Ha-
que, and can enter any harbor for the
discharge. of its beneficient duty In
no other way can this trained per-
sonnel, so greatly needed. reach the
different countries. Protection is pro-
vided also for the personnel of the
Red Cross Societies of neutral States
that render aid by the treaty of Ge-
neVa.
The American Red Cross appeals
most earnestly to all of our people;
to the governors of States, as presi-
dents of the Red Cross State boards;
to the Red Cross Chapters; to mayors
of cities; to chambers of commerce.;
to boards of trade, and to all associa-
tions and individuals, for contributions
to carry on this work Contributions
may be designated by the donors, if
they so desire, for the aid of any
special country and will be used for
the country designated; but assistance
will be given to all in the true spirit
of the Red Cross represented by its
motto, eutrality-Humanity
Grieved as we may be over this ter
rible war, the agonizing cry of suffer-
ing men cannot appeal to us in vail.
The American Red Cross asks for a
prompt and generous response. Con-
tributions may be sent to the Amer
lean Red Cross, Washington, d. c., or
to State and local treasurers of the
Red Cross.
(Signed) American Red Cross.
