The American Ambulance Hospital

will be for all war sufferers, for sol
diers Of every nation. The money is
cabled to Paris by the firm Of j. Z.
Morgan & Co. The hospital will keep
right on, even though the Germans
take Paris, but l don't believe the
Germans will take Paris"

WAR BARS WAY TO
WEDDING In AFRICA
Bride-To-Be Reaches England
and Is Forced to Return
Home Here.

Armies may clash and fleets may be
sunk. SAYS Miss Caroline Schmidt, but
there is no reason in the world why q
war. or even half a dozen wars, should
halt ANYTHING so important as a we'd
ding ceremony In ordinary circum-
stances Miss Schmidt might not have
been particular, but when the war had
the temerity to interfere with her own
marriage ii seemed to be carrying
things too far.
Miss Schmidt lives at 1926 Pitkin ay.,
East New York, but the wedding was
scheduled for German East Africa.
Miss Schmidt got as far as England on
a VOYAGE that was to have taken her
to Africa, but then she had to turn
around and come back. Somewhere on
the other side, perhaps fighting for
Germany, is DR.. George Lichtenheld,
and Miss Schmidt cannot reach him
10 tell him why she failed to appear
for the wedding.
On a voyage around the world two
years ago Miss Schmidt met DR.. LIGHT,
enheld. Their engagement followed
and the wedding day was set for Sep
TENDER II. The place was to be Tanga,
in German East Africa. In order to
be sure to get there on time Miss
Schmidt left New York on July 70, but
it turned out that even that was too
late.
Miss Schmidt took a German boat,
which was her sole error. She en-
barked on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie,
of the Hamburg-American Line. Four
or five days out the rumors began to
nv chick and fast, and a couple Of
French cruisers added to the interest.
The CeCiIe eluded the French boats
and put into Falmouth Harbor, which
was English and at that time neutral.
The English mistook the vessel for
the North German Lloyd boat Of the
same name, which was carrying mill
ions in gold. On one pretext or an
other the boat was kept in the harbor,
and then England declared war on Ger
many and the vessel was seized. Every
body, including Miss Schmidt, was
taken prisoner.
In two days she was released, and
after two weeks she obtained return
passage on the Olympic. Meanwhile
She sent numerous cable messages to
her trance, but has no way OF know
ing that he got them. At present she
il back in New York and roofing hard
for Germany.
She is positive about one thing, and
that is that the next boat leaving for
Africa will have Miss Caroline Schmidt
aboard,

WAR NOT TO STOP
CHAMBER CONCERTS
Kneisel and Flonzaley Quartets
Will Give Programmes
as Usual.

There is a community Of music lovers
in New York which feels larger in
terest in the concerts Of instrumental
music of the higher class than in the
opera, and is therefore more concerned
about the fate of the orchestral and
chamber music players than in the for
eign singers. To them comes good
news in the fact that, while there is
still doubt about the return of some OF
the members of the Boston Orchestra,
the ranks of the local organizations are
full and their concerts will take place
as usual. So will the concerts of the
men from Boston, though DR.. Muck
has not yet been heard from directly.
The Kneisel Quartet will be hard at
rehearsal work in few days at Blue
Hill, Me, where Mr.. Kneisel and Mr..
Willeke have their summer homes. A
kind fate kept them from making for
cign trips this summer, and their only
concern touching the coming season
has been caused by the absence in Eu-
rope of Mr.. Lett, the second violinist,
and Mr.. Svecenski, the violist. Both
of them have been heard from within
the last few days.
Mr.. Lett, having visited his home II
Strassburg, found himself in the Ger
man landwehr on the first day of the
war between Germany and France. Hi!
place in the quartet will be taken
temporarily, it is thought-by Samue
Gardner, the young virtuoso, who be-
gan his public career a year or two ago
Mr.. Svecenski being in his old nome Il
Essig, Croatia, at the outbreak OF hos
tilities between Austria and Servis, hat
great difficulty in communicating with
his associates, but is on the ocean now
having sailed on the steamship Re
dItalia on Monday last.
Mr.. Betti, leader of the Flonzaley
Quartet, has informed Loudon Charl-
ton by cable that the members of his
organization are at Lausanne, Switzer-
land, and will sail for America earlier
than was the original intention, and ar
rive here, if all goes well, about No
vember I. It was feared that the plans
of the quartet would be seriously dis
turbed by the war, as there was doubt
whether the members, who are OF three
ustionalities, had reached Lausanne be-
fore the outbreak of the war. Mr..
London thinks that the party, instead
of returning to Europe in April, as had
been planned, will remain to the end of
next season.

FIX COAL EXPORT BASIS
Bankers and Shippers Hope to
Supply South America.

Bankers and coal shippers here are
working on plans for payments from
buyers of American coal in South
America. Some few cargoes have been
sent to South American ports. but moth
ing will be attempted on a large scale
in the way of shipping coal to South
American countries until the result of
the conferences are known.
{. j. Wittenberg, president of the
Pocahontas and New River Coal Com
pany, of West Virginia, said last even
ing that he expects a satisfactory sys-
tenn Of payment to be arranged by
Monday, and added:
"The opportunity of building up a
good export trade to these countries,
now that the commerce Of England to
that part Of the world is tied up by
war, is not being lost sight Of. The
financial systems of the countries re-
ferred TO are not TO be depended on
like the financial system of the United
States, and the shippers at present
would want cash payments. By Monday
| believe an arrangement will be made
by which cash payments will be as
sured."
1t was stated that number Of pub
lie service corporations. such AS street
railroad companies ana gas and electric
companies, in South America are anX-
ious to get coal from the United States.

ROOM IN SCHOOL
FOR EXTRA $4,000
New Buildings and An
nexeS in All BoroughS
Said To Be Ready.
FEWER PART TIME
CLASSES EXPECTED
Board Cuts Off Hour in Lower
Grades Registration
Increases.

While the official records Of the
Board Of Education will show decided
decrease in the number of part-time
students in the public schools this fall,
compared with last year, contradic-
tory situation, with really an increase
Of probably or 10 per cent, would be
shown if the registration was computed
on the same basis as in 1919. The bet
ter showing on the records Is due to
the rule that four hours Of instruction
for the lower grades in the elementary
schools should be "full time" where
five hours had prevailed before.
AS most Of the part-time students
are in these first and second year
grades, the looping of Of an hour OF
instruction each day puts many who
were formerly classed as part timers"
in the full-time class. The exact fig
ures cannot be obtained until the regis
tration of new students is taken in the
first week after the schools open, on
September II. There were, however,
about 100000 part timers" at the be-
ginning Of the last school year, and the
number, computed on the same basis
this year, is expected to run considera-
bly, over that.
Under the new reckoning the number
of part timers" in the schools of all
the boroughs on June 80 was 1888,
c, Ipared with 81 ,495 at the same time
last year. The total registration in the
elementary and high schools on June
80 was 732,969. These figures, Of
course, will be considerably increased
when the registration is taken at the
opening of school this month.
Despite the actual increase in part
time students this year, members Of
the Board Of Education consider that
the situation is better in hand than in
previous years. No blame appears to
attach to the unsuccessful efforts to
overcome the part-time problem, for 1t
is mainly due, as in the past, to the
r.; pid increase in population, with the
consequent increase in school attend
ance, and lack of buildings.
A systematic effort in the last school
year to utilize vacant rooms in some of
the school buildings for double ses-
sions" helped some in lessening the
number Of part timers" That is,
where two classes occupied one room
onc class would be shifted to the gym
nasium or auditorium while the other
class was holding recitations. The
transfer from congested schools to
buildings less crowded also helped to
decrease the number of part timers"
C. B. ]. Snyder, Superintendent of
School Buildings, has reported to Su.
perintendent Maxwell that new school
buildings and annexes in the various
boroughs will be ready for occupancy
when school opens, or at least in Octo-
Der, providing for an additional ca
pacity of more than $4,000 students
Mr.. Snyder said in his report that sew
eral other school buildings would have
been ready for occupancy this fall hac
it not been for the Unprecedented
trouble the department experienced
this last year in adjusting the financial
difficulties of tho contractors, as wei
as labor troubles.

EXHIBITORS STAND
BY PANAMA FAIR
English Show a Loyal
Spirit, Despite Anx-
ietieS of the War.

While the effect Of the European war
may prevent some of the British and
Continental manufacturers from send
ing as large exhibits to the Panama
Pacific Exposition as they at first con-
templated, it may curiously enough In
crease the size OF others. Thomas NJ.
Moore, the commissioner general in
charge Of foreign participation, who
returned on the Mauritania night be-
fore last. said to Tribune reporter
yesterday:
"The manufacturers of pottery, IN
narticular. are very anxious TO exhibit.
For wears A certain firm sold a special
brand of pottery extensively IN South
America. The trademark was for
long time a unicorn. This served ms
guarantee Of the pottery's worth 10
Spanish people who did not write or
read English. The British government,
however, charged the makers quite
sum for the royal warrant to use the
unicorn, and the warrant had to be re-
newed yearly. A German firm began
the use of unicorn as It's trademark,
and used it on inferior pottery.
"Thc makers of chemicals, too, are
earer TO exhibit. Germany has taken
such a large proportion of the trade IN
drug foundations and proprietary artl-
cles that Great Britain is now seeking
To combat this, and the exposition Will
afford d fine chance for advertisement.
"Huntlcy & Palmer, the biscuit firm,
had expected to spend $4,000 on their
exhibit" said Mr.. Moore, land although
their business has been limited by the
war to supplies for the army, since
there is now an embargo on exporting
food supplies, the head of the firm was
willing to abide by his obligations to
the exposition.
"Thc exposition authorities, highly
anpreciating the Englishman's sense of
honor, would not hear of holding him
to his promise, especially when they
learned that it was only through great
financial sacrifice that the factory was
irving to keep all of its 1000 employees
at work
The night before he left England
= dinner was given for Mr.. Moore by
T. P. O'Connor, Ambassador Page, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Algernon
Firth, Sir Thomas Dewar, Sir Thomas
Linton, Lord NorthclitFe, Earl Grey and
others equally well known.
"That dinner showed the serious way
in which the English take the war, -
said Mr.. Moore. During the dinner
itself there was no reference to the
conflict. Afterward there were no
speeches, but all the diners rose and
presenting their glasses toward me,
simply said: Good luck' | was so
cboked with emotion that all | could
saw in reply was: Good luck, sirs!'"
Mr.. Moore received cablegram yes
terday from Signor Nathan, former
Mayor of Rome, and Italian commits
sioner to the exposition, saying that
work will be begun Immediately on the
group of buildings to be erected by the
Italian government at a cost Of $780,
600,
