Always.

There has always been a tendency
on the part of saints, philosophers and
excitable people generally to feel sure
that what is wrong with the world is
ignorance-that if only people might
be induced to listen they could not

tons Of manifest righteousness.

ALARM IN MARINE CIRCLES
Many Ships, Mostly German, Have Not
Reported and Their Where
abouts Is Unknown.

New York.-With war formally de-
clared between England and Germany.
there was keen interest in marine
circles regarding the movement of
transatlantic steamships, particularly
the German liners. which are scurry-
ing to port to avoid possible capture
by warships of hostile nations.
The arrival of the treasure laden
Kronprinzessin Cecilie at Bar Harbor.
Me-, led to the belief here that
another North German Lloyd liner
which has been missing, the Kaiser
Wilhelm II, may turn up Unexpectedly
in some other American port
"Lost" Since Leaving Cherbourg.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II has not been
heard from since touching at Cher
bourg on July 20.
If it has not been captured, the
agents suggested that 1t may not have
defined it's position by wireless for
fear it would be taken, as the Cecilic's
captain reported the proximity of
French warships.
The German steamship agents here
are taking every precaution to pre-
vent any hostile movement being car
ried out against their vessels in this
port.
Three British, two German, and two
French cruisers are supposed to be
near this port and a naval battle near
here is regarded as not impossible.

See No Cause for Alarm.
The committee asks that the Ameri-

mittee having the assurance of the
American ambassador, Mr.. Rerrick
that he will do everything reasonable
in his power to promote and protect
the interests of all Americans in Paris,
which attitude we have reason to think
is approved by the government at
Washington. We believe there is no
cause for alarm"
The French Line steamer, Chicago,

Brown devised a plan to take passen-

ure steamers.
Mrs. Herrick, wife of the American
ambassador, planned to join the
French Red Cross, but later changed
her intentions at the suggestion of her
husband, and will organize an Ameri-
can hospital here. Mr. Herrick is of
the belief his wife can be of more
service, in attending the wounded this
way than by going into the field as a
nurse.
Ambassador Herrick has arranged
with Premier Vivani that Americans
leaving France will not be required
to show passports or otherwise identi-
fly themselves, the simple declaration
that they are from the United States
being taken sufficient to pass them.
