Americans Must be Reasonable
Ambassador Herrick spent today at
the foreign office arranging for special
trains from Switzerland to Paris and
then from Paris to Havre to facilitate
the movement of Americans to the
coast. He has sent to various Ameri-
can consuls in Switzerland, the fol-
loving telegram in part:
Arrangements have been made for
1000 passengers to leave Geneva Wed
nesday, August 26; for 1000 more on
Thursday; for 500 on Friday and 500
more on Saturday.
These passengers must be made
to understand that France is at war
and Paris is under military law.
Hence they must choose cheerfully
to do their part and must agree to go
to designated hotels in Paris and to
sail by designated ships from Havre,
all of which will be regular vessels of
the French transatlantic line. Ac-
commodations on these steamers will
be assigned by an embassy committee
and they must be accepted, even If
passengers are less comfortable and
more crowded than in times Of peace,
Lists giving the full name, age and
profession and residence of each pas
senger must be prepared under your
authority and accompany each train"
