less message was sent to him, and down
the bay a tug was hailed. which took
him off the liner and brought him
back to the Battery. The other lnen-

BANKERS COME TO .
ASK AID OF N ADOO
Millions Must Be Paid in Few
Days for Securities Dumped
on America.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo ar.
rived at his office before 10 o'clock
this morning, but he found awaiting
him even at that early hour delega-
ton of New York bankers, representing
some of the most important foreign ex-
change institutions of New York.
Among them were Col. Franklin O..
Brown, Max May, and August UlrHh.
As soon as the Secretary appeared
they were ushered into the Secretary's
private office, and an important con-
ference was begun behind closed doors.
None of the bankers would indicate
the nature Of their hurried trip from
New York, and Secretary McAdoo was
equally uncommunicative. 1t was I'M
derstood. however, that the bankers
had come to urge the Government to
take some prompt and comprehensive
action for relieving the tension Of the
credit market
The Secretary, II is understood. was
told that approximately s125, 0o0. 900 in Sc
curities was dumped" on the United
States by frightened Europeans in the
past fortnight, and that the demands
for payment will be coming in within
the next few days
May Give Britain Loan.
1t is not definitely known just what
method of meeting the crisis was rec
commended by the New Workers. There
was an intimation that they advocated
the extension of a 800. 10000 credit to
Great Britain as one angle Of the gen.
eral plan. This could not be confirmed,
however.
The question Of preparing the country
for the desperate financial strain that
it is expected will result from the Euro
pean cataclysm occupied the attention
of Government officials today, from
President Wilson down. Leaders in Con-
gress conferred during the day on the
legislation to amend the Aldrich-Vree-
land currency bill 80 as to permit the
immediate Use of the 500 900 900 Of emer-
gency currency now in the Treasury
vaults The Senate already has passed
the legislation and the House is ex-
pected to follow suit tomorrow by put
ting it through under suspension of the
rules.
Danger To Be Brief.
while the public treasury Is in a
better condition than ever in the history
Of the country" said Chairman Glass,
of the House Banking and Currency
Committee, today, land the banks are
better fortified than ever before for an
emergency, every legislative prccaudon
should be taken. to avert trouble pend
ing the complete organization of the
Federal reserve system. When that
shall have been accomplished there will
be no posi- bility Of financial disaster
OF any kind"
The amendment to the existing cur
rency law, which the House is expected
to pass Immediately after 1t convenes
tomorrow, permits the Secretary of the
Treasury to distribute the half billion
of emergency currency without regard
to the stipulation as to the amount OF

LONDON, August 1.-The Sunday OBJ
server this morning prints scathing
editorial on the question of England's
obligations to the Triple Entente. 1t
says:

tiers. 1t Is late. but 1t Ii not too late.
II they finally decide to desert France

them they will strike US out OF the list
of nations that any power can trust.
No matter what may be the continental
issue OF the war, or wars, we shall
never have a friend or ally again New
er in the world.
A more hopeful view Is taken by the
Daily Telegraph. in a special edition
published this morning. In the edi-
torial the Telegraph declares that the
policy of Great Britain win not be in
the least affected by the announcement
that Italy has decided to remain neu-
trail, and adds: His majesty's govern
ment have not decided II they will in
terfere in the European war, which has
now broken out. They have always
reserved to themselves the question Of
determining how we shall play our part
in the Triple Entente.
No particular course Of action has
been decided upon. although at the
admiralty and the war office various
schemes Of action have been worked
out to the smallest detail. including the
posting Of officers commanding in
chief, their stats and their subordi-
mates.

Of events, what course England will
