WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The pres
ident, his cabinet and congress are
thoroughly absorbed in plans and le-
gislative measures for the relief of
Americans abroad, the continuation
of trans Atlantic shipping to move
crops and the stabilizing of domestic
financial conditions. The president
has asked congress to appropriate an
additional $2,5O0,000 for the general
accommodation of Americans in
Europe. Action will be taken in both
houses tomorrow.
The armed cruiser Tennessee will
sail Thursday for various European
ports with this sum, as well as sew
eral millions in gold sent by New
York bankers and all designed to
give Americans immediate funds TO
facilitate their departure. Official
notice that Americans will not be
permitted to leave Germany during
mobilization which lasts ten days, the
president issued a proclamation of

The greatest difficulty officials of
the state. war, navy and treasury
departments face in their efforts to
relieve tens of thousands of Ameri-
cans marooned in European war
zones is the lack of ships.
AS most steamship lines are for

virtually at standstill. A canvass
Of available ships revealed that with
the exception of six ocean liners
flying the American flag and cap
able of carrying about 1000 persons
each, there are only thirty trans
ports. coastwist ships and other YES
sells of American register available
for service. The latter would carry
about 1000 passengers, so that a to-
tai of only 5000 people could be
transported according to present esti-
mates.
While definite figures are not al
hand. it is estimated by the state
department that Of 100000 or more
Americans in Europe, about 20,OOt

American steamers can be made.
Should more Americans want L
depart, the only thing the admins
tration officials think can be dont
is to charter all the vessels possible
owned by neutral countries such as
Sweden, Italy, Holland, Norway anC
South American counties. Army an(
navy transports and warships have
accommodation for only few peo-
pie and probably will not be used.
Most American coastwise ships vii

only one problem has presented it

Large bodies of men have been

DEMOCRATS EAT
HUMBLE PIE
Aldrich Currency Act is Used
Now To Quell
Panic.

Washington, August 19.-"In the
face OF the greatest financial panic
the county has ever known, the Dem
ocratic party in Congress had to turn
back to the Republican currency law
to avert financial disaster" says a
statement issued by the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee.
Never, perhaps, did a great party
in complete control of all the branch
es of government ever eat such hum
BILE pie as did the Democrats when
they asked the Congress to use the
terms of the vreeland-Aldrich cur
rency bill to save the country from
panic.
For five years the Vreeland-Al-
drich currency bill has been the ia
forte source of criticism by the
Democrats. They attacted it from
every side. Yet when they came to
pass their own Glass-Owen currency
bill for the purpose of preventing
panics they embodied therein the es-
sential features of the very measure
which thy had attacked.
Scores of times on the floor of
both the House and Senate Demo-
Gratis declared the Glass-Owen bill
would render a panic impossible.
Democratic stump speakers took up
this assertion and declared meas
ure had finally been found to put
an end to panics. The Democratic
press followed with fulsome praise
of the proposed panic panacea.
Then the Democrats passed the
Glass-Owen bill. That has been a law
for eight months, but organization
under it had not been effected. Then
the great stocks and bonds were
dumped on America. The country
was seized with financial fear. Some
thing had to be done. 1t was report
ed that the Democratic Glass-Owen
bill. which had been so widely her.
aided, could not be put into working
effect for thirty days more. In that
thirty days business might be para
lyzed. The situation was critical.
.%heir eight-months-old currency
bill could not do the business. The
president and his secretary of the
treasury knew it. They were grasp
ing for a relief measure. The fact
was forced upon them that the old
Republican Vreeland-Aldrich meas
ure was their only salvation. So with
bitter reluctance they asked Con-
gress to use its provisions to save
the country. Congress did and the
panic was averted."

Birthday Party For the kaiser's
Brother.

Grand Admiral Prince Henry of
Prussia. the Geman emperor's sail
or brother, will be fifty-two years
old today. having been born in Ber-
lin on August IA, 1852. Officially
the affable Prince is a warrior OF
the sea, but he has often been call
ed upon to act as the trade drum
mer" for his emperor brother, and
In his capacity Of travelling man for
German commercial interests he
recently made a tour of Brazil. Ar
gentina and Chile. While it is true
that Prince Henry carried no sample
trunks and did not directly call on
merchants and manufacturers to So
licit orders for the products of in
dustrial Germany. his mission was
distinctly commercial.
Pince Henry, besides being an ad-
miral and commercial traveller, is
a yachtsman, aviator. motorist, golf
er, cyclist and CINEMA" operator.
In South America he made his own
moving picture films, having been
instructed in the art before leaving
the fatherland. He is very demo-
cratic, and put on no "side" on
board ship, mingling with the 9TH
or passengers in the smoking room,
cracking jokes and telling yarns,
just like a sure-enough drummer"
1t was observed that the prince wore
a turned up and down" collar with
his dinner jacket--a sartorial COM
bination that is little short of a
crime, in the opinion of the arbiters
of masculine fashions.
1t was generally admitted in the
German press, that the visit of the
prince and princess to South Amer
lea was for the purpose of fostering
trade relations. The Berlin papers
declared that Colonel RoOsevelt's
journey south of the equator was
intended to strengthn the influence
Of the United States In that part Of
the world. and the princes journey
, was described as counteracting
measure. Ari'7|
The emperor's brother has never
entertained q desire to fight the Eng
fish, as he 10 personally very fond
of John Bulbs island and its people.
He has visited England whenever
opportunity offered and has remained
as long as possible. The prince has
always expressed indignation at the
