Naval Yacht Scorpion
to Meet North Carolina,
as Turkey Suggested
BY the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Bryan said today that the American
naval yacht Scorpion would meet the
cruiser North Carolina outside the
Dardanelles, to take off the $50 900 in
gold for the relief of Americans.
The secretary said that while no
formal reply had yet been made to
the communication of the Turkish
government that it would be unsafe
for the North Carolina to venture
through the mined waters of the Oar
danelles. the American government
plans to use the Scorpion as suggested
by the grand vizier
No cablegrams came today from
Ambassador Morgenthau. Communl-
cation with Constantinople is slow
and officials and diplomats are
anxious for definite word as to the in
tentions of the porte. On all sides it
is expected here that Turkey aims to
strike at Russia and Great Britain
and a declaration of war against the
allies would cause no surprise.

Vague Hope of Austrian
and German=bOnnd Mail
Getting There from Here
BY the United Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Federal
postal authorities cannot guarantee
that letters mailed for German and
Austrian points will ever reach their
destination. The superintendent of
foreign mails here very frankly adj
mits this. So far as this government
is concerned every effort is being
made to get the mails through. Mails
for the countries which are battling
with the allies are sent to the near
est neutral country. Berlin and
North German letters are sent to
Holland. Other letters for the south
are routed by way of Spain and Italy
Austrian letters go via Italy. But
after they leave here there is no way
of telling whether they complete their
journey.
This is a very serious matter to
many Germans and Austrians in this
country. There are aged fathers and
mothers, sisters and young brothers
back home in the fatherland who
have depended on remittances sent
from this side each week. This is
now cut off.

ENGLAND MUST
FIGHT SPIRIT OF
WAR, SAYS GREY
Prussian Militarism Menace to
Europe, Declares British
Foreign Minister.

LONDON, Sept 5-In a letter,
which was read at a meeting of his
constituents in Berwick last night, Sir
Edward Grey, minister of foreign
affairs, made the following report on
the war situation:
when our sincere and strenuous
efforts to prevent a European war
failed we would gladly have stood
aside. had it been possible, but we
were bound to make the observation
of Belgian neutrality one of the con-
ditions of our own neutrality The
German government asked us to
waive that condition and condone the
violation of a solemn treaty. There
could be but one honorable answer to
such a request Had we sat still ana
ignored Belgium's appeal we should,
indeed, have been detested by our
friends and despied by our enemies.
The progress OF the war has re-
Vealed what terrible, immoral thing
German militarism is. 1t is against
German militarism thai me must
fight The whole of western Europe
would fall under it, II Germany
should be successful in this war. But
if, as q result of the war, the inde-
pendence and integrity of the small
er European states can. be secured
and western Europe liberated from
the menace of German militarism ana
the German people itself freed from
that militarism--for it is not the Ger
man people, but Prussian militarism
which has driven Germany and Eu-
rope into war-if that militarism can
be overcome then indeed there will
be q brighter, freer day for Europe
which will compensate us for the
awful sacrifices which war entails"

Britain today announced plan to re-
reestablish commercial intercourse on
the high seas. In a statement from
the British embassy this afternoon it
was declared that England will set
free as many cargoes as possible.
The statement as given out by the

In order to prevent loss to sub
jects of neutral powers and to en-
courage continuance of trade, the
British government has taken steps
to set free eXpeditiously an | without
reference to prize courts as many
cargoes as possible, even though in
some cases many cargoes may be Ii
able in law to condemnation as a
prize.
An executive committee vita full
power to deal with such cases, has
been appointed"
This statement was regarded in Off
cial circles as move by Great Brit
ain to re- establish as quickly as pos
sible trade communication with the
United States and South America, so
as to decrease the necessity of any

Zeppelin Makes Another Raid

ANTWERP, Sept. 4. - Another
aerial raid by a Zeppelin was at
tempted today but it was unproduc-
tive of any serious damage within the
city. The forts and the rifle especial
ly selected for that work drove the
dirigible off. The Germans attempted
to surprise the forts by swinging
around the city far beyond the limits.
and then drifting down with the
wind from the Schedldt river. in order
that the noise of their propellers
might not be heard. The ruse did not
prove successful. The watchers saw
the Zeppelin far away up in the air.
Without a secnod's delay the guns
were turned loose.
The ZEPPELIN swerved and pointed
higher in the air. When it reached
height at which it could hardly be
followed from the ground it turned
and swept off across the forts In the

ROME, via Paris, Sept. 5.-It was
related here today that in CONVERSE
tions before his election, Pope Bene-

lief in the necessity that the pontiff
should intervene with an appeal for
peace, not in a purely evangelical
form but in a precise diplomatic ac-
tion.
THE Pope" he is quoted as say
ing must actually place himself
amidst the combatants instead of
keeping away and preaching peace
and concord from a distance"
1t is asserted that he expressed
these ideas in the conclave with
Genoese tenacity, but at the same
time showing such absolute neutrality
towards the belligerents that 1t
brought about his election as pontiff.
