Ex-senator Watson, Reaching
London, Reports Being Cour-
teousIy Treated En- Route.
MANY AMERICANS DECIDE
TO REMAIN IN FRANKFORT
U. S. Consul Advises Them to Stay
Number Go to Holland-Four
Hundred on the Udine.

LONDON, August FIX United
States Senator and Mrs. Clarence w.
Watson of Fairmont. w. Va, accom-
panied by their nieces, Miss Sipe and
Miss Miller, have arrived in London
from Germany. From Frankfort they
proceeded by automobile, with the aid
of a military pass to Mainz. and trav-
eled from there by boat to Rotterdam.
They suffered discomforts. but were
treated with courtesy.
Ex-senator Watson says there were
several hundred Americans in Frank
fort, who are remaining there on the
advice of the American consul. The
German commander offered a special
train for their transport, but apparent
ly they did not care to leave.
According to Mr.. Watson, Americans
have nothing to fear in Germany, but
they suffer from lack of travelling
facilities and money.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Berlin via Copenhagen states that the
return of the Americans homeward
bound will now proceed more speedily,
as railway traffic is becoming more
regular from all the larger centers of
Germany. A flood of travellers will
start in a few days. A special train
will leave Hamburg today for Holland
with 400 Americans. Other refugees
will proceed on three trains, each car
rying 400 persons.
Sixty Leave Munich.
Sixty Americans will leave Munich for
Holland today. A train from Berlin for
Holland Wednesday will carry 400
Americans including sixty from Dres-
den. Americans in Frankfort and Bad
No,t thngy 1,fl r~
nary trains, four of which will depart
daily.
Americans here hitherto have shown
little disposition to go to Holland, as
relatives and friends arriving from there
say that all the hotels are full, and it
is impossible to get steamer passage
before the end of September.
Henry Van Dyke. American minister
to the Netherlands. however. has ad-
vised Ambassador Gerard at Berlin that
all Americans can easily find accommo-
datfons in Holland. Many Americans are
| now anxious to proceed to Holland. as
they have letter of credit upon English
| banks upon which German banks refuse
| to pay. as financial connections with
| England have been suspended.
| In many cases. however. the German
| banks. especially in Frankfort, will
make advances to well known Ameri-
cans without security.
Among Americans here who leave
Wednesday are f1fty-six persons without
means, most of whom are German
| Americans, who will be aided by the
American embassy.
Four Hundred on the Udine.
