GERMANS HERE
RESPOND TO CALL
CONTINUED from First pare.)


are the most active and most familiar
with military tactics, the latter being
still fresh in their memories.
There will be full and general
response to the consurs CALL" declared
the Evening Stars informant, hand
some and stalwart specimen of the
Teutonic race, for many reasons"
and his face glowed as he added;
first of all we love Germany, and are
willing to give our lives in her de-
Tense. We are taught patriotism and
love of country as children, and ex-
pect to fight for our country. If
naturalized American citizens, we
take it that we would be expected
to fight for the United States.
Il come within the First Reserves
classification. The Second Reserves
are made up of older men and no
call will be issued to them unless
Germany is sorely pressed and needs
every man, old and young. After
we furnish our new addresses we
may return tc work and hold our
selves in readiness for further orders
from the consul. Do We anticipate
any trouble in reaching the other
side, you ask? Why, of course not.
There will be ships enough. German
warships, to take us over. There
need be no worriment on that score.
There Is never any likelihood Of
a German Sinking this military duty.
If, for instance, 1 should fail to regis
ter in response to the consuls call, 1
would be entered on the records as
a deserter from the army or the
navy, just as IL had ran away from
the direct service.
Il would never again be permitted
to visit Germany to see my parents
or relatives, and I, could never have
property rights. Not IL became an
American citizen after this could
return to my native land. So you
see there is both patriotism and senti-
ment in the matter. Had I become
an American citizen before war
trouble arose and had put in my pro-
scribed period of military service, 1t
would be different. I would not then
be accused of taking out naturalizas
ton papers for the purpose of evad-
ing duty to Germany. I would have
acted in time Of peace, you see, and
with no motive of cowardice.
THAT warning to German ships
means that they will be expected to
look out for themselves and enter
none but neutral ports. Otherwise
they may be seized and their cargoes
taken as contraband of war"

the idle period becomes lasting one.
Saturday nights meeting of the I'M
employed was followed by another
one this morning, at which 1t was de-
cided to ask the merchants along the
river front who have prospered from
the longshoremen and sailors to ar
range for bread line" A petition
will also be sent to the steamship
companies asking for aid.
So far the men have been orderly and
quiet and although extra police have
been sent to the River street station
of the city at night, there has been
nothing for them to do to maintain
order. Most of the longshoremen and
former members of the crews of the
vessels are still supplied with money,
but when this gives out the police
have a feeling that trouble might re-
suit
The big Vaterland was again lit up
last night, as on Saturday night, and
armed guards were continuing to pa
troll her decks ready to curb any at
tempt that might be made to in any
way injure the big Ship. These pre-
cautions, it is said, have been taken
as the result of special orders from
Manhattan.
The steamship Grosser Kurfurst,
of the North German Lloyd Line,
which was recalled by wireless on
Friday night, reached her dock here
yesterday. There was no one about the
place when the vessel landed and the
big gates at the end of the pier were
closed and locked and the Waterman
who was on duty would not open the
gates so that the passengers could
leave the pier. For q while Ii looked
as though the passengers would have
to remain on board the vessel all
day, but after they had been subject
ed to about half hours wait, word
was received from Manhattan, and
the big gates thrown open and the
passengers all left the ship.
The wireless call ordering the cap
tain of the Grosser Kurfurst to turn
about and come back was received
on Friday evening and was imme-
diately obeyed. Most of the passen-
gers aboard, however, did not realize
thew were sailing back to America,
until at breakfast on Saturday morn-
ingA the news was broken to them.
There was considerable anxiety
among a few of them, who seemed
very anxious to reach Germany, but
the general opinion among the pas
sengers on the vessel was that 1t was
much better to be- back In America
than running chances of being taken
prisoners while en- route to Germany
For the first time in the history of
this city the five big piers of the
North German-Lloyd line and the
Hamburg American line are closed
TO visitors today and the gates locked
securely and guarded by watchmen.
No one, except employees, is per-
mitted ON the piers at any time.

Ocean Grove Worshippers In

President and King.

OCEAN GROVE, Aug. 3.-To show

ropean war and its attendant suffer-
ings, the congregation assembled In

unanimously proclaimed its approval
of the dispatch of four cablegrams by
the Ocean Grove Campmeeting Asso.

Ten thousand American citizens
gathered In the Auditorium at Ocean
Grove, N. J., u. S. A., on the Sabbath
day to worship the same God to whom
you pray, send you greetings, and ear
nestly urge you, as minister of God,
to preserve his spirit Of peace on
earth and good will to men.
THE horrors of war, with its suf-
fering millions of innocent women and
children, its murdered fathers and
brothers and husbands. it's rivers of
blood. its fresh fountains of hatred
and black seas of despair are so ter
rifying that your friends in America,
where the German citizen has always
found a cordial welcome, beseech you
to use your influence for the preser-
walton of peace"
This same plea was sent to King
George, President Poincare of France
and the Gear of Russia, excepting that
the words, "a minister Of God" were
left out. The signers call the en-
peror a minister" for the reason that
he breaches a sermon every Sunday,
no matter where he is.

Standard Oil Ships Held Up
by the Declaration of War

BAYONNE, Aug 3.-Because Of the
war in Europe the oil business of the
Standard Oil Company at Constable
Hook, Bayonne, has been seriously
affected. Several ships which had
been loaded with cargoes of oil have
been held back and in one instance
two German ships will sail without
any cargo. Pending the result of the
war 1t is probable that but little busi-
ness will be done with countries
which figure in the impending con-
fiict
The oil ships Hagen and Wash
ington, which were to sail for Ger
many, have been held up, and after
conference 1t was decided to send
them to Europe without any oil. Both
vessels fly the German flag and the
possibility OF capture since that coun-
try has become involved led to the
decision.

CLEARING HOUSE

Emergency Step Taken by As

of 1907.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-The Clearing
House at a meeting today decided to
issue Clearing House certificates to
meet the currency situation brought
about by the European war crisis.
The decision to issue certificates waA
reached after a general discussion Of
the foreign situation and its bearing
on business conditions here. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that in view OF
| the foreign situation, every means
should be adopted to protect the
country's gold supply 1t was voted,
J therefore, that for the present and
until further notice the association
place itself upon a certificate basis.
/ An additional resolution was adopt
ed making available in payment of
balances all forms of currency issued
on authority of the national govern
ment.
Z This indicates the desire by the
bankers to use freely the currency
issued to the National Currency Assoc
citation and to the fullest extent for
the requirements of their correspon-
dents and the needs of interior ex-
change.
This is the first emergency measure
taken by the association since similar
action during the panic Of 1907.

normal showing, inclement
weather having devastated the crop.
The quality of grapes is also said to
be inferior Reserve stocks both here
and abroad, according to dealers,
have been allowed to run low.
New York, which is the largest i'm
porter of wines, receives some wine
from Belgium and some from Italy,
but the bulk of the imports and the
best quality wines come from France
In the vicinity of Rheims.
The French crop is harvested late in
October after the first frost, and, in
the event of war, the output would
of necessity be sharply reduced. The
French grape crops for the last three
or -four years have been partial fail
ures, and the price of the best grade
grapes has risen appreciably. Be-
cause of this, many champagne man
ufacturers have abandoned the In
dustry and have taken up the manu-
facture of light, sparkling wines.
