PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR S25O,OOO TO
HELP AMERICANS
Sends Special Message to Con-
gress, Requesting Immediate
Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-President
Wilson today sent special message
to congress asking immediate appro
priation of S250,00O for relief of dis
tressed Americans abroad.
The Presidents message to Con-
gress was as follows:
1.-THE present disturbances in Eu-
rope with the consequent interruption
of transportation facilities, the in
crease in living expenses, coupled
with the difficulty of obtaining mon
ey from this country have placed
large number of American citizens
temporarily or permantly resident in
Europe, in a serious situation and
have made 1t necessary for the
United States to provide relief and
transportation to the United States
or to places of safety.
1.-THE situation has also thrown upon
our diplomatic and consular officers
an enormous burden in caring for the
interests of Americans in the dis
turbed areas and makes it necessary
to provide for greatly increased ex-
penses.
I'm view of the exigency of the stu
alton, as above outlined, / recommend
the immediate passage by the Con-
gress of an act appropriating $780,
or as much thereof as may be neees-
sary to be placed at the disposal OF
the President for the relief, protec-
ton and transportation of American
citizens. for personal services and Tor
other expenses which may be incurred
In connection with or growing out or
the existing disturbance in Europe.

Returning Tourists Can
Use Steerage Space, as
immigration Is Limited

NEW YORK. Aug. .3.-Relatives
and friends of Americans in Europe
were cheered. today by announce
ments of steamship agents that as
there would be very few immigrants
leaving Europe now because of the
war, there would be room in the steer
ages of the big liners still in commits
sion for all wishing to return home.
The announcement added that there
were many attractions in the steer
ages not generally known, and,
further, that if passengers purchased
first or second class tickets. they
would be entitled to the decks and
public rooms. according to the class
paid for.
1t was estimated that the total
steerage accommodations on a dozen
liners SAILING from England and the
continent early this month was 62,0e0,
and as not more than half would be
required for immigrants, at least 81, 900
Americans stranded in Europe could
find accommodations.

Expect Kearny Town Council
to Purchase Auto Ambulance

The need of police automobile am
bulance in Kearny to replace the
present horse-drawn vehicle is becem-
ing more evident daily. Members of
the Town Council have become inter
ested in the matter. and there is a
possibility that some action may soon
be taken along the lines of purchas-
ing an automobile.
Because of the towns area, it is
impossible for expediency in some of
the calls. When it is taken into con-
sideration that the entire Turnpike
and the section of the Plank road be-
tween the Passaic and the Hackensaek
rivers, are in Kearny, some idea can
be CLEANED of the work imposed on a
horse in the case of hurry call. Only
a few days ago the ambulance was
called to Plank Road twice within a
few hours.
Councilman William F. Davis, chair
man of the police committee, is an
xious to see an automobile purchased
by the town. AT the meeting of the
council Wednesday night, August -,
Mr. Davis may bring up the matter.

URGE Connolly
AS MANAGER OF
SOLDIERS HOME
Former City Clerk Again Talked
Of as Superintendent of
Kearny Institution.

Efforts are being made to induce
former City Clerk James F. Connolly
to accept the position of superintend-
ent of the Home for Disabled Soldiers
at Kearny. The position has been va
cant since the death of General E.
Burd Grubb last year. Mr.. Connolly
some time ago denied he had any
intention of taking the superintend-
ent's office. He is a member of the
board of trustees.
Other members of the board said
that 1t has not had sufficient funds to
fill the position, and that is why it
has been left open so long. The office
pays $500 and maintenance.
Mr. Connolly is well versed in mat
tiers pertaining to the management Of
the home. Many of the soldiers have
expressed desire to have their COM
rade accept the berth.
