RUN ON NEW YORK BANKS.
Foreigners Withdraw Funds From Sav
mos Institutions.

Foreigners Withdraw Funds From Saw
ings institutions.
New York. Dec. 3.-Withdrawals OF
deposits OF private and savings banks
on the east side. begun by foreigners
yesterday, a day after the suspension
Of the three banks Of Abraham Kass,
continued without abatement today.
Two banks appeared to be most af-
fected by today's run. Each had taken
steps over night to meet the situation.
Each announced that all depositors
were free to withdraw accounts in full
without giving sixty days notice. The
only explanation of the runs was a
general feeling Of uneasiness among
the foreign-born depositors since the
closing Of the kass banks.
The crowds seemed to augment as
the day progressed. One of the two
banks, early In the forenoon, adopted
the policy of paying the depositors 800
each and telling them to return In a
week for the remainder. The money
was paid in silver dollars in each case.
A number of smaller institutions were
affected somewhat. The uneasy feeling
seemed to be general thruout the lower
east side. No one could explain 1t, least
of all the depositors. They simply
wanted their money.

Pretender to Spanish Throne Com.
PEELED to Flee From Austria.
Paris, Dec 3-The Eclainre today de-
clares in its issue that Don Jaime, of
Bourbon, the Spanish pretender, ad-
dressed an appeal to his courtesans to
side with France in the war. This
came to the knowledge of the Austri-
ian authorities. and as Don Jaime lives
in Austria, he was placed under arrest
In his castle in Frohsdorf. The immed-
late excuse for this action is the fact
that he had been a colonel in the Rus
sian army. An appeal was made to
Emperor Francis josef but his majesty
said he could do nothing in the matter.
Don Jamie persisted in his efforts to
gain freedom, and was told finally no
could either remain prisoner in AUS
tria until the end of the war or leave
the country. He chose the latter course
and is now in Switzerland.

WOMEN sPlEe Ar WORK.

Clubs in London Ask German Nembers

Correspondence Of Associated Press
London. Now v.s2O.--Womenss clubs in
England have been. enlisted sin the
movement terhead. ..oY the activities of
possible I German spies ana Austrian
and German women have been asked
to resign or discontinue their attend
ance at many clubs which formerly
welcomed Them
A number Of prominent literary
women have urged that English wom-
en- should be as cautious as English
men about their associates and should
shun all women of German or Austrian
sympa thies at time when change
remarks might give valuable informa
tion to the enemy.
Reports from Belgium and Holland
OF the activities of women spies who
served as governesses and servants in
Belgium and Dutch families have also
thrown suspicion on German and Aus
trian women in service in various
parts Of England. The Belgian refugees
who are in England have issued gem
eral warning against German women
as we'll as German men, and their tales
of how Belgian cities were betrayed
by German spies in all walks of life
have alarmed the English.
Alarming tales have been printed in
papers of alleged German spies
high in social and financial circles, and
practically all of the leading mems
clubs have asked men Of German or
Austrian birth to resign or refrain
from frequenting the club rooms dur
ing the war. Many supposedly spies
high in officiak life voluntarily left
England before the movement against
suspected persons became so acute.
Charges were generally made that even
Germans who had become naturalized
had often done so only for business
and social reasons and were at heart
Germans as much as ever.
