AMERICANS TREATED WELL
Travellers Are Given Help and Apology
Made for Inconvenience.

Rotterdam.-A thorough canvass of
Americans here show that the Ger.
mans have been universally courteous
to them. The hardships undergone
by citizens of the United States have
been due in all cases to the conditions
attending mobilization, the lack Of ia.
cilities for travel and at first re-
striction of the hours during which
the streets could be frequented A
week after the opening of hostilities
the latter restraint was eliminated.
The government took measures not
alone looking to the safety of Ameri.
cans, but also to their comfort. Those
hardest hit by the war are American
students in Germany who have found
difficulty in getting their usual remit.
tances. Every measure has been taken
to help them.
Dr. w. G. Kanier, of Detroit, who
travelled widely in Germany during the
mobilization, stated that Americans
could not have received better treat
ment in their own country. While in
specting passports and baggage, off
Gals were courteous and in numerous
cases apologized for the inconvenience
caused.

RICHEST NATION IN THE WORLD
Accumulated Wealth Of America Is
$4,000, 100000.

New YOrk.-Bankers and students
of finance everywhere are much inter
ested just now in an article on the
progress of banking throughout the
world, contributed by Sir George
Paish to his paper. The Statist OF
London's extract from Sir Georges re-
view of the banking situation have
been made by the department Of com
merce at Washington and sent broad
cast throughout the country in the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports.
At no time in history, Sir George says,
has the economic condition of the
world improved as rapidly. Progress
has not been confined to one or two
nations, the writer points out but has
extended around the world. While
all countries have not advanced at an
equal rate, all have progressed. Sir
George finds that the United States
has easily made greater advancement
in wealth and population in the last
century than any other nation, and is
now nearly twice as rich as any other
country in the world. The United
Kingdoms wealth is estimated at $685..
O00, 600, 900, that of Germany at $780,
900, 100000, while the accumulated
riches of the American people reach
the inconceivable figure of $150,00O,
100000.

BUSINESS UNDER TEST
Banking Machinery Of United States

New York-The many changes that
are going on in the buying and sell
ing of merchandise give opportunity
for a test of the real mercantile abil-
ity of selling agencies intrusted with
the distribution of mill products and
of iobbers intrusied with the conser
walton of retail trade and the hand.
ling of staple and semistaple products
for common use.
When the machinery of backing is
in smooth running order, the means
of transportation unhampered, and
production of a definite character and
volume arranged for in world that
is at peace, the trade builds up GER
tain idols in personalities and the
fetch of success coverss multitude
of blunders. When panic comes on,
whether from war or other things,
many idols ape shattered and the
trade begins to look around to search
out the men who are holding steady
and who are going about their bust
ness with the orderliness of other
days.

RUSSIANS ARE DEFEATED
official Message Received BY Consul
Merger.

Cincinnati, O-Two official wireless
messages from Berlin, relayed through
the German Embassy to German Con-
sui Oscar Merger, announce German
victories over Russian forces invad-
ing Prussia, and general successful
movements of the Kaiser's hosts. The
first message reads: "Via official wire
less, German Embassy, Oskar Merger,
German Consul: Strong Russian forces
have advanced in Eastern Prussia
against Gumbinnen and south of Gum
binnen. The First German Army Corps
attacked them on August 20, has
checked their advance and taken
5000 Russian prisoners and have cap
tured eight guns. One German cav
airy division took 800 prisoners after
fighting two Russian cavalry divisions.
THE French attempt to invade Up
per Alsace has been frustrated by the
defenders. In Lorraine the French are
retiring from the frontier into France.
The German people find Havas reports
about so-called big French vitories
most amusing and just as false as the
same reports of the war Of 1870"

PLAN TO SUBMIT MEASURE
Providing for Purchase of Merchant
Vessels at Once.

Washington.-War in Europe grips
fhe interest of Congress and promises
to hold it in session indefinitely. Com
merce, which the war has stricken, is
the principal subject with which Con-
gress is concerned, since the execu-
tive departments now are taking care
of American refugees in the fighting
zones. The bill to establish Bureau
of War Risks Insurance in the Treas
ury Department probably will be
enacted. The measure has passed the
Senate, and, although there is some
opposition to it in the House, admins,
tration leaders intend to push 1t
through even if it is necessary to in
woke special rule for the purpose.
The administration desires this legis-
lation as an additional mducement to
owners of foreign-built ships TO apply
for American registry. The President
favors the bill, as do majority of the
administration leaders.

Japanese Ambassador here, formally
notified the United States that Japan
had declared war on Germany. The
American government was immediate

Extract From Official Message Re-
ceived Here-Forces of Triple
Alliance Are Bottled Up.

Cincinnati, O.-Official dispatches
relative to the European war were
received by r. E. Simmonds, English
vice consul, and Oscar Merger, Ger.
man consul, and Eugene Pociey
French consul. THE entire North At
lantic ocean north Of Trinidad is now
safe for travel and commerce. There
is no reason why travellers should not
go and shipments be made to Eng.
land, Jamaica and British possessions
Care should be exercised however, in
making shipments of horses or other
possible utilities of war into Canada
and other English possessions, where
it is the intention CT the shippers tc
reship from these countries, since
there is the risk of the import being
held by military authority from out
ward passage"
The above in an extract from the Off
! cial message received by Consul Sim.
monds, relayed directly from the king
to Sir Edward Gray, consul general Of
the Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and
| Indiana consulate district, hence tc
the local consul. The message is au
thoritative for American shippers, and
| travellers need not hesitate at embark
! ing for London now, Mr.. Simmonds
says. 1t indicated that the naval forces
of the Triple Alliance are so success
fully bottled up that transatlantic
intercommerce is not now affected OF
endangered, providing the shipping
and travel is not of sympathetic ma
ture to Germany or Austria, the con
sui explains.

That War Has Shut Cut-Laying
the Ground Work.

New York.-The European conflict
has set on foot in this country organ
lied movements looking TO the enamel
patton Of the American manufacturer
from dependence on Europe If it is
to be long war the United STAG will
of necessity have to prove whether
American ingenuity can meet the sit
uation. This ingenuity must crystel'
ize in two ways-frst, in the produ.
cion of materials heretofore supplied
by foreign countries. chiefly Germany
for the use of American manufac
turers; second, in the manufacture OF
articles for South America and far
Eastern trade, which must look to the
United States because of the curtail-
ment of production abroad.
Already manufacturers throughout
the country are consulting chemists
and other experts and laying the
ground work to solve the problem.
Many factories face the prospect of
closing down unless certain drugs and
chemicals can be obtained; and in
Philadelphia retail druggists in con-
vention adopted a resolution asking
for changes in the patent laws so that
drugs patented abroad can be manu-
featured here.
1t is said that raw materials are at
hand to duplicate nearly everything
which the war has shut out, but manu-
features in many cases hesitate to
launch into extensive production be
cause of the uncertainty of the dura.
ton of the war. Should the conflict
end abruptly competition might be
restored to considerable extent with
plants barely under way II this coun
try.

HEAVY LOSSES SHOWN
When Only 100 of 1000 Men Are Able
To Return.

London.-In a dispatch from Copen-
hagen the correspondent of the Daily
Mail says the sixth list of German
casualties was publishe' It contains
the names of 1923 killed and wounded.
The heaviness of the German losses in
the war, the correspondent says, is
shown by the fact that only 100 out of
1000 soldiers from Rostock returned
alive from Liege. ~ -.
The stables on the Berlin race
course have been transformed into a
military lazaretto and the race course
restaurant has been made into a hos.
pital, with 600 beds. All the hospitals
in the suburbs of Berlin already are
overcrowded with wounded.
