FRANCE MAKES UNAVOIDABLE
 REPLY TO UNITED STATES

Washington, August 23-France has replied unfavorable 10 the proposal of the United States that ships owned by beiligerent countries. but chartered by this government for the sole purpose Of repatriating" Americans. be regarded ag neutral
 The United States recently notified all European belligerents that this government under the 1907 Hague con vention would regard as neutral ships chartered to bring Americans home Each power, however, was asked for declaration on the subject
 Great Britain responded that if such ships were manned by American off cers and flew the American flag. she would have no objection. The plan was to charter Hamburg American liners tied up in American ports to go abroad, bring Americans home, and re- main in American ports after their return France disapproved of the plan on the ground that this would be an advantage to German shipping.
 Germany was willing to permit the Hamburg American liners to be used to~ bring Americans home, voluntarily offering to do so before the United State ssounded the Berlin government on this point
 Officials did not say whether they would continue to regard foreign owned ships chartered by the Ameri- can government as neutral carrying out to the letter their construction of the Hague convention.
 It is not believed France or Great Britain would interfere with these ships if the United States had no other way of bringing Americans home, but as such facilities have appeared in the past week. it is unlikely that the United States will press the point

 When I left Ostend at Il o'clock tho British consul had departed and tourists and troops had been warned to leave Wireless operators were duty but hat their bicycles ready to flee. The wireles. stations have been mined so they can b, destroyed when the Germans begin theil entrance.
 Americans Out of Ostend
 "All Americans are out of Ostend. I was generally believed our boat woult oa the last to leave.
 Refugees from Brussels said it tool seven hours for the German troops t, pass through the city. They estimated there were 5000 of them. Most of then moved toward Ghent. but 1t was reported they were turning south. The German treated the Belgians kindly in Brussels They patronized the restaurants, payinl for their food with gold saying to tn walters, Keep the change; we will ge 1t as we march back from Paris.
