Aliens Restriction
Act Is Being Enforced

London, Aug. 12. ais P. Mt was
officially declared here to-day that the
only steps taken by the British gov
ernment to prevent the landing of for
eigners in the British Isles were those
provided for by the sections of the
alien restriction act the object of
which was to safeguard the country
against aliens from countries with
which Great Britain was at war.
This declaration was made after
the report had been received here that
Secretary Bryan had cabled to the
American ambassador to investigate
reports from American consular otfi-
GERS that the British government had
issued strict orders forbidding the
landing of foreigners on British soil
until further notice.
An order signed by the king was
published on August 5 limiting the
entry of aliens to certain ports. This
order was not intended to keep out
Americans, it was stated, and had had
no effect on the landing of Americans
here. 1t was pointed out that in the
few instances where the cases of
Americans had been referred to the
authorities permission to enter always
had been granted.

Soy Only Small Part
of Cecilie's Gold viii
Be Sent Into Canada
By Associated Press

New York, Aug. 12.-It is denied in
financial circles here that the entire
amount of the S10.000,000 and more
gold taken from the Kronprinzessin
Cecilie is to be sent to Ottawa. j. P.
Morgan & Co. have recently consigned
81, 900, 600 gold to the Canadian CAPT
tai; but other bankers interested in
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie shipment
recently returned here, expressed the
opinion that only a small part of that
sum will be shipped across the border
There were further indications in
New York to-day that any movement
looking to large shipments of gold to
Canada, whether for the Bank of Eng
land or for any other purpose will be
unpopular in banking circles. New
York bankers deem it of the highest
Importance that gold be held here re-
gardless of foreign obligations. There
are other ways, it was pointed out,
of meeting our debts in London, and
these. 1t was argued, should be re-
sorted to.

First Mail Through From Continent
Relates Pitiful Stories of
Mobilization Scenes

News of the death of a son on the
first battlefield, of the loss of homes,
money and property, of how husbands
were torn from their wives and chill
dren and rushed off to the front-all
these and other incidents dealing with
the terrible toll the war is exacting
from the people of Europe. were told
of in the first mail to come through
since the clashing of the armies
across the sea- This mail was re-
ceived in Steelton last evening and
left Vienna, Austria, just thirteen
days ago.
Mrs Nicholas Tudor, of 361 Chris
tian street, received a letter telling
that her son, Tomo a soldier in the
Austrian army, had met his death in
a skirmish with Servians along the
river Danube. July "a. Mrs. Tudor is
an old woman, well past so, and, al
though. almost prostrated by the
news. feels proud that her son died
On the field of battle.
But little is told in the letter of
how her soldier-son met his death,
but the father, Nicholas Tudor, be-
lieves his son was picked off by a bull
let from the gun of a Servian sharp
shooter in one of the skirmishes be-
fore the attack on Belgrade.
Mother Is Proud
The boys enlistment In the Austrian
army was nearly up. 1t was his faith

come to Steelton just as soon as his
army service was completed. Another
son. Dusan, was beside his brother

proudly boosts that she has two sons
who are faithful to her country's
cause. She is willing to sacrifice them
both on her country's altar, she says.
Another letter was received by Paja
Basaraba, 225 Myers street, from his

her letter the daughter tells how her
husband was taken from his work in
a factory and hurried off to the front
to join the Austrian forces. She begs
her father to send her the money that

the war. The letter is pathetic in its
appeal for aid. 81 and my little boy

Tales of Hardship
To Tomo Stiach, Myers street, came
letter from his son, Mato, telling
that his plans of coming to steelton
were cut short. The son had but
few weeks ago completed his military
service in a regiment of Uhlans.
Stiach had forwarded money with
which his son was to come to Amer
lea. When the war broke, however,
the boy was called back to the colors
and now will be compelled to again
go to the front

was the mobilization of troops and of
