AID OF CONSUL
At METZ ASKED
Regarding Mrs. C. D. sturnn, of
This City, Who is Marooned
in Germany.

Friends and relatives OF Mrs.
Charles D. Sturm, Of this city. who is
now in hospital in Metz, Germany,
were today anxiously awaiting some
encouraging word from the state de-
partment in Washington. Mr.. Sturm
wired the state department yesterday
of Mrs. Sturm's whereabouts and re-
quested that the American consul at
Metz be notified and that he look after
her return passage to the United
States as early as possible.
Mrs. Sturm underwent a minor sur
gical operation in Metz hospital and
Mr. .Sturm and many friends are anx-
ious to learn of her condition. How
ever, no answers have been received
to kilograms and 1t is thought that
they have not been delivered, owing
to the war situation.
Could Not Go.
Mr.. Sturm tried to make arrange
ments to go to Europe himself to be
at the bedside Of his wife but found
that 1t would be very difficult to Sc
cure the necessary passports and he
had to give up the idea.
Charles E. Lamberd and son,
Charles E. Jr., vera due to have land
ed at Hamburg yesterday and an effort
is being made to get into communica-
tion with them. II they can be located
by wire, they will be asked to go to
Metz and look after Mrs. Sturm.
John Koblegard, another Clarks-
burger, is in Paris. 1t is thought
that he will be able to secure passage
on the French liner, France, which
will sail for this country in a few
days, bringing stranded Americans
back to their native shores.
Frankfort Consul, Also.
A telegram received by Mr.. Sturm
this afternoon from Claude NJ.
Sturm, cousin. employed in the De-
partment of Agriculture, at Washing
ton. says that the State Department
will Immediately direct the American
consul at Frankfort to cable the well
fare of Mrs. Sturm. The message
added that 1t would take several days
TO get an answer.
The fact that the cable between
New York and Germany was cut this
morning will not prevent a message
being sent to the State Department by
the American consul. as it can be
routed over lines through other
countries.
Frankfort is only few miles from
Metz. where mrs. Sturm is now in a
hospital.

copyright, 1914, by thu New York
Evening Post]
NEW YORK, April 24.-The circum'
stances OF today's stock market were
a bit extraordinary and the nature OF
the movement was OF such character
as to render more than usually OBJ
scure the bsaring OF it on the Mexi-
can uncertainty. When prices opened
at declines OF II to point on active
stocks and at once broke further IN
der heavy selling, it was naturally
assumed that an old fashioned war
market of our own had at last begun;
1t presently appeared, however, tnas
it was London, not New York which
was forcing prices down. Exactly
what was amiss in Europe, 1T was
mpossible to determine with any con
fidence.
Our own market opened with sal Is
of upwards of $4,000 shares FOL
european account. The initial De
clines caused by this selling were
followed during early hours by furth
er declines ranging from ] to 2 points
in many active shares. A moderate
recovery followed; then in the firs'
half Of the afternoon our market came
almos. to halt In the last few min
utes OF business, some stocks agar
broke violently; others we're strongly
supported, and the market ended II
a good deal Of confusion.

lengthy by the cabinet, none OF the

cIusfon was reached In fact Score
tary OF War Garrison indicated by
this attitude that until the troops are
actually enroute to Texas, no knoWl-
edge that they are going will become
public, II he can help 1t. 1t is under
stood that Garrison told the cabinet
that he was ready to use the coast
artillery as infantry and thai the
quartermaster's department was all
ready to furnish trains to take them
to the concentration camps. This
means 10000 trained soldiers are
available for Texas II 1t is finally de-
cided they will be needed there.

WHERE WILL 1T END?

Burlington Gazette: The first blood
In the United Sta.es-Mexican war OF
1914 has been shed. Four American
marines gave up their lives yester'
day and were heavily avenged by
their comrades, who took toll OF
some two hundred Mexican lives in
neutrality-suspicious. not so much IN
retaliation as in defense. The ball
has opened and where will it end!
AS far as the American people are
concerned, they are overwhelmingly
in the majority back of President
Wilson. The United States has start
ed something and it is incumbent to
go through with it. The fighting was
not started without the gravest OF
provocation That the United States
was justified in every step it has tax
en- in the Mexican affair goes without
saying. The people of this country
are aroused now. Nothing will stop
them. While the regular armed
forces of the United States are cap
able Of coping with the situation,
there will be no lack of assistance il
complications ensue whereby the re-
serve forces of the country are neces-
sary. Thousands of citizens are ready
and willing at all times to go 20 the
front. The days of Dictator Huerta
are numbered. The wise thing for
Carranza and Villa would be to per
nit the present situation in the fed.
eral camp. to take it's course. They have
everything 20 gain by permitting the
United States to settle Huerta's case.
If they stupidity elect to interfere. SO
much the worse for them. But where
liz all will end time alone can tell.
