M ADOO RUSHES
RELIEF funds
Makes 100000 Available
for Ambassador Page to
Aid Refugees.
EVOLVES A NEW PLAN
Steamship Tennessee Sails Today. but
VIII Be Ten Days Reach
ing Europe.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo an
nounced last night that arrangements had
been perfected for placing 10000 tmme-
diately at the disposal Of Ambassador
Page at London to be used In relieving
stranded Americans The Secretary de-
clared this announcement was Of the ut
most Importance, In that II would enable
the Ambassador to proceed in the relief
work on a fairly large scale without walt
ing ten days or more for the arrival of
the cruiser Tennessee with her millions
Of government gold.
Mr.. McAdoo at the same time issued q
statement setting forth the details Of the
perfected plan which was formulated and
approved by the President yesterday aft
ernoon for getting funds to our nationals
in Europe.
At a conference between Secretary Nc
Adoo. Secretary Bryan. Secretary Of War
Garrison and other members of the COM
mittee which has been placed in charge
OF the relief work by President Wilson.
1t was decided to abandon the plan of
receiving deposits Of money at the State
Department from friends Of Americans
who are without funds abroad. with the
view of having the amount Of such de-
posits paid out to the designated Ameri-
cans by diplomatic and consular agents
abroad.
A substitute plan was agreed upon
which permits the deposit Of funds at
the Treasury Department and at the sub
treasures to be accepted and drawn
against in any part Of Europe where the
the funds to be transported on the Ten
nessee are available.
Secretary McAdoo announced that pay
ment on deposits would be made as
quickly as cablegrams could be sent to
our ambassadors and other represent
atives. Later. when the crisis has been
passed. he said. the depositors of funds
with the government may be reimbursed
out of whatever remains OF the s., $4,000
appropriation made by Congress Tuesday.
Oficials refused to make public the full
sum of gold TO be carried on the Ten
nessee. consisting of the larger part Of
the appropriated s. 900 and sums for
warded through the Treasury by the
bankers Of New York.
II is recognized that delicate questions
may yet arise about the Tennessee's ex-
pedition, due TO a possible construction
by some OF the belligerent governments
officials desire mat at little publicity as
possible be given to the amount Of money
in her storerooms. The Tennessee will be
followed in a few days by her sister ship.
the North Carolina, now at Boston. who
will aid in the distribution of the gold.
The $30oOO0 placed at Ambassador
Pages disposal was arranged for through
| the Bankers Trust Company Of New
York through its London agency. Vice
President F. T. Kent Of this corporation,
Is In London and superintended the trans
fer Of the sum for the American En-
bassy.
