to carry through military operations
in German Southwest Africa.

mier declared, "and consequently the
Union of South Africa is at war with
the common enemy. This assembly
must realize that South Africa's flu
ture is being decided on the battle
fields OF Europe, and although there
may be many here who in the past
have been hostile to the British flag,
they would today ten times rather
be under the British flag than the
German flag"
The premier revealed that German
forces already had entered upon
union territory. They were intrenched
at certain points in Ropjes, and a
large armed German force was on the
frontier of the union.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-Five hundred
American refugees applied today to
the American committee for relief
They come chiefly from Germany,
and many of them looked like immi-
grants arriving at Ellis island. Some
of the women wore shawls over their
heads and many were unable to speak
English The committee is needing
the warning of DIR. Rupert Blue, of
the United States public health SER
vice, and Is exercising great care in
the examination of applicants. Up
to the present time there have been
no symptoms of any dangerous ill
ness among refugees from the con-
tinant. but the English authorities
are taking extra precautions to pre-
vent the introduction of disease into
Great Britain.
After September Ia English Of
ficials will not admit American citi-
zens not provided with passports.
This applies to Americans coming to
England from the United, States as
well as from the continent.
The American committee reels
that foreign officials would be justi-
fled in enforcing such strict regula-
ton. as under the stress of war many
imposters have got through.
The money transfer committee will
not for the present pay out any more
money unless an equal sum has been
deposited at Washington with in
structions to pay a designated in
dividual over here.
Some misunderstanding have
arisen concerning sums OF money de-
posted in Washington to be paid on
the continent. The persons for whom
this money was intended claimed it
in London, and for some reason the
money was paid twice, and In others
the record became confused.
