ernment would be prepared If we
would pledge ourselves to neutrality to
agree that its fleet would not attack
the Northern coast of France.
THAT is far too narrow an agree
ment''
The house broke out into cheers at
this remark.
Sir Edward Grey then recited the
history of Belgian neutrality, saying:
Our interest is as strong today as
II was in 1870. We cannot take less
serious view Of our obligations now
than did the late Mr.. Gladstone in that
year.
when mobilization began, I tele-
graphed to both the French and the
German governments asking whether
they would respect Belgian neutrality.
France replied that she was prepared
to do so unless another power violated
that neutrality.
THE German foreign secretary re-
piled that he could not possibly give a
response before consulting the imperial
chancellor and the German emperor.
He intimated that he doubted whether
1t was possible to give an answer be-
cause that answer would disclose the
German plans.
I'VE were sounded last week with
as to whether, if Belgian neutrality
were restored after the war, 1t would
pacify US and we replied that We can
not barter our interests or our obliga-
tions.''
Another burst Of cheering greeted
this declaration.
Sir Edward then read telegram
from the King of the Belgians to King
George making supreme appeal for
diplomatic intervention to safeguard
the independence of Belgium.
James Ramsay Macdonald, socialist
and labor member, declared he was
not persuaded that Great Britain was
in danger nor her honor involved. He
was convinced she should have re-
manned neutral.
The house adjourned until o'clock
for a consultation between the leaders
Of all the gArties.

STEAM SHOVEL
IS OYNAMITED
NEAR MOL|NO
PROPERTY OF MCMILLAN BRICK
co. DESTROYED ~ UNKNOWN
PARTIES AFTER BLACK HAND
LETTERS SENT.

It became known yesterday that the
new steam shovel of the Mcmillan
Brick Company near Moline, had been
completely destroyed Saturday by a
charge of dynamite set off by I'M
known parties. The shovel which had
recently been installed, was valued at
$4,000 or more.
The proprietor Of the plant, w. P.
Brownson. has, during the past few
months received a number of threat
ening letters, in which various sums
Of money were demanded. The last of
these black hand letters was received
on July and dmanded $4,000, and 1t
Is the supposition that the writer set
off the dynamite.
It was the intention to start the
new plant in operation about August
10. For several months unknown par
ties have set fire to buildings of this
company, the last firse destroying the
entire plant.

PRESIDENT WILSON ASKS THE
PEOPLE TO REMAIN CALM

Washington, Aug. 3.-President Will
son today appealed to the people of
the United States to remain calm dur
ing the war in Europe. He declared
the United States owes II to mankin d
to help the rest of the world during
the present crisis.
The president declared the United
States could gain great and perma-
nent glory during 49, present trouble
providing no one lost his head. The
president urged that nothing be done
in America to add to the exciteemnt
Of the world. There is sure to be in
convenience to the financial institu-
tons of the country, he told the call
ers, but added that the administration
is fully prepared to help out all diff
ficulties. He added that no credence
be given to unconfirmed reports OF a
sensational nature.
The president declared there was
no cause for any serious alarm in the
United States. The administration is
bending every effort, he said, toward
getting ships to carry the foodstufts
and other products of the United
States to all the world and to bring
hcme Americans stranded in Europe.
A proclamation of neutrality, Mr..
Wilson said will be issued as soon az 1t
can be completed by the state depart
ment. He does not believe there will
be any necessity for congress to re-
main in session because of the situa-
ton in Europe.
The presidents message to congress
was as follows, in part:

harbors is dead never to revive is the
confident prediction Of its foes in

system must give way to a new one,

scientific improvement of the nations

Whether the pork barrel will sur
vive or not, certain 1t seems that the
pending river and harbor bill, which
calls for an appropriation of S53, -00O,-

harbor legislation and prevent as far
as possible waste and extravaganza.
The pending bill reaches the high wa
ter mark of extravaganza and injudi-
cious policy.
Il have become weary of the argu-
mert that we must pass a bill in or
der to save the good items in it and
thus close our eyes to the fact that the
bill as whole is altogether objec
tionahle.

be long before the people will SO con-

Among the Pensacolians in Europe
or on the high seas bound there is
J. J. Sullivan, Jr., who left New York
a few days ago on the liner KronZprin-
Zessin Cecelie, which was to touch at
Southampton and other ports, but
which is now supposed to be at sea,

last night from New York stating the
vessel had reached a German port
safely.
The big liner has aboard over ten

she flies the German flag every effort
is being made to keep her from being

in living expenses, coupled with the
difficulty of obtaining money from
| this country, have placed a large num-
! Der of American citizens in Europe in
a serious situation and have made il
necessary for the United States to
provide relief and transportation to
the United States or to places OF
safety.
THE situation has also thrown upon
our diplomatic and consular officers an
immense burden in caring for the in
terests Of Americans in the disturbed
districts
I'm view of the exigency of the sit
uation as above outlined I recommend
the immediate passage by the pas
sage by congress of an act appropriat-
ing $250,000 or az much thereof as may
be necessary to place at the disposal OF
the president for the relief, protection
and transportation OF American citi-

absolutely prepared to meet the finan-

possibly prevent It is unreaSonably ap-

Therefore, would urge you gentle
men not to give currency to any I'M

would tend to create or add to excite

that America, IL nobody else, has her

dinner is an impossibility should not
despair.

burner oven. sat on cretonne cover
ed shoe box in front of window
The ventilation was perfect The bride
gave much thought to see how each
dish could be prepared with the least
amount of work and time.
She bought baby turkey-a wee six
pound one-and stuffed it as mother
used to do. Mincemeat tarts were bak-
ed at the same time. potatoes and peas
were cooked in double boiler, cram
berry jelly she made the day before
and. in fact. the turkey was stuffed
and partly roasted the day before,
for Thanksgiving afternoon this wise
young bride had planned to spend at
a football game.
When she returned she donned an
