Won Bernstorff Says He Told Presi-
dent Wilson Monroe Doctrine to
Be Respected

Washington.-The German ambas-
sador, Count Won Bernstorff, said re-
Gently that early in the European war
he had assured the United States gov
eminent that whatever the outcome
of the conflict, Germany would re-
spect the Monroe doctrine.
The ambassador said the statement
was made because of statements from
various English sources that Germany

Monroe doctrine and doubtless would
attempt to make great colonization
schemes in South America.

Most of the rangers are former cow

Washington, Aug. 9.-Secretary Bry-
an announced today that the American
government now was in communica-
ton with all it's European embassies
and legations and that every effort
was being made to care for Ameri-
cans in all parts of the continent.
For many days the state department
had been unable to communicate with
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, but to-
day, communication was established
through Copenhagen. Mr.. Bryan at
once telegraphed inquiring about Ar
cher NJ. Huntington, president of the
American Geographical Society and
other Americans reported arrested as
spies. At the first outbreak of hostil-
tiles and during the period persons
who talked English were under espion-
age.
Assurances that Americans soon
would be able to leave Germany were
given several days ago and the open
ing of communication with Ambassa-
dor Gerard was expected TO clear up
all doubts on the question within the
next "a hours.
The state department announced
that an additional $4,000 had been ca
bled to Minister Stowall at Switzerland
and that the number of Americans in
that country was estimated at 5000.

ed saying 300 Americans there were

XaIe the Fire Horse.

The spirited fire horse, dashing
through the streets to the accompani-
ment of shrieking sirens and changing
bells, is soon to be thing Of the past.
We are living now in a mechanical
age, and as much as we shall miss
the thrill sight of these stout hearted
animals in action always gives us, it
is meet that they should give way be-
fore the memorable march of the auto

work throughout the day. Mr.. Bryan
conferred with President Wilson at
the White House on the European sit
uation. but no announcement was
made.
State department officials denied a
report that Ambassador Guthrie at
Toxic had presented note to the
Japanese government dealing with
possible developments involving Japa-
nese activity in China, 1t was indi-
Gated, however, that Ambassador
Guthrie was making informal in
cAliries to learn the intentions of the
Japanese government with respect to
the European war. 1t is considered
very likely that If Japan on behalf
of her ally, Great Britain, should par
ticipate in an attack on the German
colony at Using Tau, a formal effort
would be made by the United States
to preserve China's neutrality.
The danger of melting the revolu-
tionaries in China through the activi-
ties of Japanese and other foreign
troops is known to be a matter of Sc
rious concern to the Pekin government,
which is understood to be pressing the
United States through it's minister here
for some helpful action.
For several days there has been a
disposition in administration circles to
regard the situation in the Far East
as not Immediately pressing. The re-
ported intention of Japan to attack
Tsing-Tau, however. may influence the
American governments decision on a
plan Of action.
