Wounded Senegalez
Smoke Enemy Pipes

PARIS. Aug. H.-G a. m.)-The Matin
relates that on the arrival OF a train
bringing wounded Senegalez riflemen
nearly all were found smoking furiously
from long porcelain pipes taken from
the enemy, and seemingly Indifferent to
their wounds. one told of the daring cap
turc Of a machine gun by eighteen Of his
comrades. The gun, it seems, was brought
up by detachment OF German dragons
and the Senegalez charged and captured
everything.
Though their arms and bodies are
hacked by saber thrusts. the Senegalez
complain OF nothing but the obligation
TO fight with shoes on. Before going into
battle at Charleroi they slyly rid them
selves of these impediments and came
back shod in German footwear, 10 avoid
punishment for losing equipment.

ADVISE AMERICANS
TO LEAVE ENGLAND
Chairman Hoover Says Americans
Do Not Help Now by Spending
Their Money.
STEAMSHIPS RAISE THE PRICE
Demand Premiums, Saying that All
Contracts for Passage Had
Been AnnuIIed when War
Was Declared.

this morning by the American committee
through Herbert c. Hoover, its chairman.
advising Americans to return home at the
earliest possible opportunity brought a
crowd OF excited people to the relief quar-
tiers today. They had not read the state
ment carefully and believed England to be
in serious plight.
Mr.. Hoover explained his point of view
as follows
1T is bad economics to consider that an
American traveller. by spending money
here, is doing any good. He is consuming
foodstuffs and increasing the difficulties
In financial exchange. All Americans not
able to justify their presence in the
country by some productive effort, or
who have not brought actual gold with
them should reconsider their decision to
llnger in these islands"
Committee Busy.
Mr.. Hoover feels that the American
committee has enough to do in caring for
the arrivals from the continent.
There has been considerable complaint
in London by travellers against certain
steamship companies. A case came up to-
day in which one of the largest companies
demanded a premium on a ticket bought
and a room reserved months ago, on the
ground that all contracts had been an
nulled by the war.
There are fifteen sailings scheduled be-
tween now and next Saturday. All Of

you that no mention of an increase in

liberal policies are issued at low rate by
