Berlin, Aug Z (via London)-A
proclamation by Emperor William adj
dressed to the German nation was
published in the Official Gazette to-
day The text was as follows:
"since the foundation of the German
empire it has been for forty-three
years the object of the efforts of my
self and my ancestors to preserve the
peace Of the world and to advance by
peaceful means our vigorous develop
ment.
"Our adversaries, however, are
Jealous of our work and there has
been latent hostility to the east and
to the west and beyond the sea.
"This has been borne by us till now
as we were aware of our responsible
ity and our power.
Now, however, these adversaries
wish to humiliate US, asking that we
look on with folded arms and watch
our enemies preparing themselves fQr
the coming attack.

AMERICAN OCEAN
LINER IS CROWDED

NOT FEARING CAPTURE.

New York, Aug. THE American
liner St. Paul, first transatlantic ship
to leave without fear of capture since
Great Britain and Germany went to
war. sailed today with crowded cabins
and steerage for Liverpool The st.
Paul flies the stars and stripes and
therefore is not subject to seizure by
any Of the European warships believed
to be lowering near the track Of ocean
liners.
Had the liner twice her accommo.
dations for passengers she could not
have carried all who sought passage.
She sailed with approximately 45O
aboard including the Duchess of MARI
borough who was able to obtain only
a tiny room but to whom another pas
senger surrendered more comfortable
quarters at the last minute.
The largest consignment Of mail that
ever started across the Atlantic on q
single vessel was aboard. 1t included
the accumulation Of thousands Of let
ters and parcels which the postal
authorities had been unable to send
away sooner because of the suspension
of sailing by most Of the transatlantic
liners. The St. Paul was the only
vessel sailing from this port today for
Europe.
