The wheat" said the premier,
Stands unreaped and the time Of
vintage approaches. I appeal to your
hardlhood and to that of your chill
dren, whose ages alone, not their
courage, withholds them from the
fighting line. I ask you to maintain
the life of our fields, to finish this
years harvest and prepare for that
Of the next year You cannot render
a greater service to your country"

BERLIN (via London), Aug. L.
The Emperor has issued an order to
the German army and navy, in which
he says:
AFTER forty three years of peace,
1 call upon all Germans capable Of
bearing arms. We have to defend
our most sacred possessions In
fatherIand and home against the

spirit still lives in the German peo-
ple-that powerful, warlike spirit
which attacks the enemy wherever
1t finds him, regardless of cost, and
which In the past has been the dread
and terror of our enemies.
"I have confidence in you, German

Gen. Meany, of Morristown,
Reaches London; Praises
War Spirit of the French

LONDON, Aug. General e. p.
Meany, of Morristown, N, j., with his
wife and Shannon L. Meany, arrived
at Claridge's Wednesday from Paris
General Meany said: re
I'VE left Aix-les-Bains on Satur-
day morning. A number of we'll
known Americans are still staying
there, including Colonel Colt and ex-
President Newman, of the New York
Central. Americans were not nerv-
Gus, because the French showed no
nervousness. They were engaged
calmly and resolutely in modifying.
There were no signs of famine or
panic or anything extraordinary, ex-
cept that the people all wore a seri-
Gus aspect.
EN- route to Paris we passed
through eastern France where mo-
bilization is proceeding magnificently
Our large trainload. mostly Ameri-
cans and English, was treated with
the utmost consideration and cour-
tesy by the French. No buster, noise
or silly harangues were observed on
the entire route. The effect on one
was that a great people were arising
in their might to protect their coun-
try.
ION reaching Paris I was amazed
at the quiet and seriousness of feel
ing dominant while the great crisis
was at hand. The people presented
the appearance of being able and will
ing to cope with it. I observed an
attempt of some ruff1ans to stone
stores occupied by Germans on the
Boulevard Montmartre. The police
handled them most effectively. have
never seen a mob so quickly and
thoroughly cowed. The American ele-
ment in Paris is far from stampeded
or panic-stricken. The last week
passed in France created in me the
highest possible admiration and re-
spect for this great people"

JOHNSON FINDS
He CAN'T ENLIST
His Offer to Join French Army
Has Not Been Accepted by
Republic.
speclaI to the Evening Star.

PARIS, Aug. THE French gov
eminent hasn't yet accepted Jack
Johnson's offer to utilize his fighting
ability in the army. The American
pugilist. now a French citizen, has
repeatedly tried to enlist. AS he has
only taken out preliminary citizen
ship papers, he is ineligible under
the call to the colors and he can
not come into the army as an
American because the war office
has announced that for the present
no foreign "legion" will be accepted.
Johnson, whose popularity was
waning with the French population
on account of his recent farcical per-
formances in the ring and his at
tempt to monopolize attention in the
cafes, finds himself suddenly a popu-
lar idol. He turned over to the army
all his automobiles before the gov
eminent took steps to requisition
all motor vehicles.

ORDERS
ISSUED TO KEEP
OUR NEUTRALITY
Foreign Ships Converted for
War Purposes Cannot
Clear Ports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Foreign
merchant ships being converted for
war purposes or carrying foreign re-
servists in organized manner will not
be permitted to clear from ports of
the United States.
Instructions to aid the customs
authorities at New York in enforcing
President Wilson'S neutrality procla-
nation were telegraphed today from
the department of commerce.
Wire the department before issu-
ing clearance papers to foreign ves-
sells, unless you are satisfied after
careful inspection that the ship has
not made any preparations while in
port tending In any way to her con-
version into a vessel of war;" said
the department.
Taking on an abnormal amount OF
coal, except in the case of Golfers,
would indicate such conversion. I'm
packing of guns already on board
would be conclusive. Painting of
vessels a war color would indicate
conversion. 1t must be clear that
she is not to be used for transporta-
ton of reserves or recruits for q for
eign army or navy. This does not
prevent transportation of passengers
in usual sense, as where there are
women and children and men of diff
ferent nationalities, even though
among them there were a few re-
serves without your knowledge.
IF her passengers are nearly all
men and practically all of same ma,
tionality, clearance cannot be grant
ed. 1t must be unquestionable that
she has no arms or munitions of war
aboard. Have representatives of
each foreign vessel in your port GER
tify to this department whether she
is a merchant vessel intended solely
for the carriage of passengers and
freight, excluding munitions of war.
or whether she is a part of the armed
forces of her nation. This informa-
ton is for the purpose of maintaining
the neutrality of the United States
under recent proclamation of the
President. Clearance will be refused
In absence of this certificate"

The large amount of work caused

clerks meet Of the auction sales
held by The farmers Of Ada county.
Ha said ut these sales for which
he has clerked during past years
up 10 and including 1913, the
average amount Of cash was 20
per cent that the farmers paid for
goods bought At these sales, They
gave notes for the other 80 per
cent.
During tbs past year, however,
the condition Of the farmers Of
Ada county has greatly improved.
This Is shown by q further state
ment made by Mr.. Pfafiie 10 the
effect that the farmers 30 far this
year are paying ~ average Of 80
10 60 per cent cash for goods
bought al snch sales, and are

on goods bought at auction sales.
