q dispatch that Emperor William has
left Berlin in a motor car for the

Selfish American Woman Reprovet oy
U. s. Consui-She Has 5000 for
Passage Home-Dlplomat Tells Her
to Aid Others.


New York, Aug. THE armored
cruiser Tennessee, converted for the
time into a treasure ship, left port
Thursday to carry millions In gold to
the many thousand Americans who
are In want in European countries.
The destination of the cruiser is Fall
mouth, England. The British govern
ment has given permission for the
warship to put In there. The gold
specie will be promptly shipped to
London and elsewhere.
No word has come from continental
Europe whether vessel will be per
mitted In ports of the other warning
countries. If Italy remains neutral
some Of the refugees in the interior
may be supplied with funds from her
ports.
The cruiser North Carolina, the sec
ond American treasure ship, will sail
from Boston for Europe tomorrow
night An effort will be made to have
the North Carolina overhaul the Ten
nessee at sea and take aboard some
of the army officers and treasury off,
Gals now crowded into the overtaxed
quarters of the latter ship.
The intention is to have the Tennes-
see go to the North sea after touching
at London and North ports, while the
North Carolina steams through the
Straits of Gibraltar to the relief of
Americans along the shores of the
Mediterranean.
The Tennessee sailed with s7,500,-
600, including $2,5O0,O00 appropriated
by the government.
The $5.000,000 in gold is from the
consolidated banks.
The Tennessee's bunkers held 1000
tons of coal and it was said that If
she should run at her maximum speed
OF twenty knots this supply would run
out before the end of the trip
Its executive officer, Lieut. Com
mander e. P. Jessop, explained the
cruiser would not attempt to make
more than twelve knots to conserve
its coal supply. At this rate of speed
about ten days will be required for the
trip.
1t is generally believed the warship
carried as passengers Ambassador
Willard, who is returning to his post
at Madrid. and ermy and naval officers
assigned as military observers IN Eu-
rope. On the return trip sccommo-
dations for 200 Americans will be
available.
Paris, Aug There has perhaps
been no better indication of the I'M
seltishness and charity with which
Americans generally have accepted the
hard lot imposed on them than the ex-
ceptional conduct of one woman at
the embassy today and the retort
which Major Henry felt himself justi-
fed in making to her.
The woman, of middle age and well
dressed, stormed into the embassy
and loudly demanded that some means
be found Immediately for her convey
ance home. She announced that she
had $4,000 francs in cash and insisted
on it being used to insure her trans
portation.
Very we'll" said Major Henry, you
can take your $4,000 francs and go
outside and share it with those An1eri
cans who have not even the money
to buy piece of bread. The United
States citizens who want to get out
Of France are being helped In turn
