FINANCIAL SITUATION BEING STRENGTHENED
Rapid Restoration of Normal Condi-
 tons
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spATcH1

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Further progress toward normal conditions was manifested in the domestic fin ancial situation. Although the re- sumption of open trading is still a matter of conjecture, private business in bonds was slightly more active. Dealings in stocks is almost wholly limited to contracts entered into be- fore the exchange closed and these are now reduced to a minimum.
 Encouragement is expressed over the complete understanding between the administration at Washington and banking interests as to the nec- essity for immediate remedial meas ures. The abandonment of the French loan is accepted as the only course consistent with the country's atti- tude. -.4l
 Savings banks announced that very few depositors have availed them selves of the sixty day withdrawal clause and all excitement incident to this has passed. It is learned that some leading members of the clear ing house have not availed them selves of certificates, using only emergency currency.
 According to advice from the mid dle west, that section is threatened with a tie-up of cars resulting from the embargo on grain at many ports. Foreign exchange is again normal.

 Germany recently tried to indicate to the United States government the community of interests that exists between the two in their Asiatic holdings. Last week this took the form of a suggestion that the eastern waters and shores be neutralized by mutual consent
 It is the Japanese belief that the German government will take full ad- vantage of the weeks time allowed in the ultimatum for a reply. This is founded upon the scarcely concealed belief that the reply will be firm and unequivocal refusal to admit the Japanese right to dictate to Germany her attitude in the Far East The intervening time, it is believed, will be spent in hastening the defenses of Tsing Tau, the single German sta tion; in planting mines in the sea and in placing the German fleet in position under the guns of the shore Notifications.

SERIES 0F HOLD UPS
 OF NEUTRAL VESSEL
But Laden with Refugees She Was
 Allowed to Proceed
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Hol- land American liner Nieuw Am sterdam, flying the Dutch flag and with 2O39 passengers aboard, mostly American refugees, arrived after be- ing held up three times by warships of belligerent nations.
 On August S. five hours and a half out from European shores, the Mieuw of Amsterdam was stopped by a Dutch torpedo boat destroyer. Forty minutes later a shot passed her bow, and three British warships surrounded her. Yesterday, when 376 miles east of Sandy Hook, the cruiser Essex came alongside after the Nieuw Amsterdam had slowed down in response to two shots from the Britons guns. Each time she was held up the passenger liner sat isfied the warships she belonged to a neutral nation and was allowed to proceed.
 The Nieuw Amsterdam brought to New York 2039 passengers, most of them Americans. Coming across, Captain Baron did not attempt to conceal his vessels identity, and at night she burned all lights as usual. Last Wednesday she sighted a liner with four stacks, painted gray, fly ing no flag, and speeding toward England. Captain Baron believed her to be the Cunard vessel Maure- tania in attempted disguise.

EIGHT CABLE WIRES ]. 0F WESTERN UNION
Badly Tied Up By English Censor ship
IAssocIArED PRESS pIsPArcHI

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-Inquiry at the offices here of three great trans Atlantic cable companies developed the fact that on all fifteen subma- rine lines between North America and Europe, traffic is still badly congested The congestion. it is said, is due primarily to the re- ouirements and restrictions of cen sors at European terminals.
 The Western Union Telegraph companys system of eight cables is in better condition than at any time since the establishment of the cen ,sorship, it is said. The requirement that the address and full name of addcessee be written as well as the full. name of the sender is. causing much congestion. on this system, al though it is said that at least once in every twenty -four hours the lines are clear.
 Delivery of messages to terminals in Europe, however, does not neces- odiily HedH 'ildl they VIII io'1eii their destinations immediately. One day last week the London office of the Western Union reported that two thousand cablegrams had piled up there awaiting the inspection of the eansors The entire system of Vest ern Union cables to south Europe is similarly affected, practically all ter minals being in British possessions.
 Abolition of code messages worked great hardships upon the Western Union as well as other systems. Prior to the war a great numbe.- of commercial and private messages were sent in code, the object being to reduce the number of letters to be transmitted.

SWISS WANT GOLD

Loan Would Not Come Under Gov

ASSOCIATED PRESS prspArcH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Dr. Paul Ritter, the Swiss minister, again to- day made representations to the state department in behalf of his government for loan of gold from the United States. Switzerland is in a state of siege with practically all her male population under arms, fac ing serious situation in regard to feeding her army.
 The imputation that this country might involve the United States in violation of neutrality by using its proposed loan in war means was rid iculed by Ritter. He said, aside from the question of national honor, SWitzerlands domestic financial stringency is such that she must have fluid currency to restore nor nal conditions at home.

Spring training of baseball teams
has commenced. Nearly half Of the
major league teams already are in
the field The others are gathering to
hurry southwark for the annual dis
play of foolishness.
Nothing in baseball shows the era
of the press agent, as opposed to
playing real baseball, as well as
spring training does. The idea is not
to develop players, or train them, but
to get a column or more a day in
each newspaper on the theory that
advertising of that kind pays. The
spring training trips of major league
ball clubs are the annual joke of the
game, and they are largely respon-
sible for the poorer quality of base
ball dished out to the fans.
There is no argument against a
manager taking young recruits down
south in mid February. He does not
do this to train the players, but to
find out what kind of players they
are, so that he will not be compelled
to waste time on them when time for
real training comes. 1t is rather hard
on the recruits, because, even if a
youngster is fair and promising, he
will be far below his proper form
when the season starts. But taking
a squad of veteran players South
eight weeks before the season starts
is reckless foolishness on the part of
