proposed in the Senate bill, the oppon-

bill similar to that under which lotteries
were suppressed that would deny the use
of the mails and telegraph for the distri-

AMERICANS GIVEN EVERY PROTECTION BY GERMAN PEOPLE. Americans Reaching ROtter- dam From War Zone

 Americans

Rotterdam, August 21.-fCorrespond- ence of the Associated s)-Amer- jeans who found themselves in Ger many during the first few days of the European war were in nowise mo- tested, and the German government took every step to protect them. This is the substance of statements made here by Americans returning from Germany.
 Several instances of abuse and per sonal danger were recorded, however but in every case the excitement incl dent to the declaration of war, mobili- zation and resulting high spirit of the people were responsible. Then, too. the few cases recited to the Associated Press correspondent occurred in out of the way places, and persons touring the empire in automobiles were the princi- pal sufferers. German villagers unable to distinguish the American from the English, stoned travellers, threatened them and molested them in hotels, but as soon as 1t had been made clear that the victims of their wrath were Amer jeans the most complete apologies were offered In most cases the offenders were immediately arrested and sum- marily punished.
 "On August the German Emperor himself is said to have issued decree according to which the burgomasters all over the empire were to be held personally responsible for all harm be- falling foreigners, especially Amer jeans. There is every reason to be- lieve from the accounts told by Amer ican refugees, that the Germans went out of their way to take care of the visitors from the United States. It must be said, however, that they were subjected to the severe military rules so suddenly applied and that those without passports were in some cases detained until Identification had been process was never attended with the usual brusqueness of the German of ficial Americans by the score maintain that they had never though German officials could be as polite as they showed themselves.
 Americans in cities had not diff- culties of any sort They were warned to keep off the streets after sundown because the lower classes, it was feared, might mistake them for Eng fish. But after a few days this was no longer necessary, and while the Americans had been told, in most cases politely requested, to leave Germany at their first opportunity, no pressure for their departure was applied.
 Up to about August it was diff cult to obtain money in Germany on American paper of any sort. It was soon realized, however, that all American drafts, notes and letters of credit of standing were good and after that if was comparatively easy matter to secure money. Many banks limited the daily allowance of Americans to about $20. Persons who found it impossible to realize on paper in their possession

SOME FRESH STORIES OF
 EUROPE'S GREAT WAR
The Turcos At Charleroi

The New York Suns Paris corre- spondent cabled from London:
 Stories of the remark able work of the Chasseurs d'Afriaue in their attack on the kaiser's Prussian guard con tinue. A wounded officer who served with the Turcos of charleroi and who arrived here today said:
 We were attacked by 100000 of the enemy. We were their inferIurs in numbers, but in valor greatly their superiors Throughout the entire time that the terrible fight lasted my men were absolutely unshaken. Sometimes we had the advantage and at others we had to fall back hurriedly. Twice we entered Charleroi and twice we had to abandon the town. the suburbs of which gents of Germans The moment ar rived when it became necessary to settle the question.
 "'Give them the Turcosv shouted our colonel Then the avalanche began. It was a mad rush. Fifteen hundred meters away were the men of the Prus- sian guards, extended over front of one kilometer. Suddenly from the borders of little wood which masked mftrailleuse companies there broke fusillade of bullets which moved down our ranks, but the Turcos and couaves to the strains of the fMarseillaise," swept steadily forward.
 When they arrived within a few meters of the Prussian guards the machine gun firing ceased and the Turcos began an awful bayonet en- counter. The men were fighting like furies, using the butt ends of their rifles and shooting right and left with their revolvers
 My men hurled themselves on the Germans before them. The columns of Wilhelm II were nothing but little children. They fell like flies and their blood flowed like fountains on all sides The poor fellows lost their heads, threw their arms away and fled.
 "Nea& Charleroi our enemies installed battery of machine guns in the belfry of a church. They then hoisted a white flag and the Red Cross ensign. Our troops, suspecting nothing, reached the vicinity of the church and then the German bandits began to turn the handles, of their machine guns and pour death into us. That is how they make war"

 Rooms for Americans
 The Bristol hotel at Berlin, for in- stance. turned 150 rooms over to Amer jeans absolutely. free of charge, and those who failed to get rooms at ho tells were taken in by families. Similar reports were made by Americans from other parts of the empire. The cities in which Americans were especially well treated are Berlin, Munich, Frank ford-on- Main, Cologne, Hamburg, Dres- den. Leipzig, Mazda burg. The many health resorts and virtually ever other place where familiarity with American and English toaists made distinction between them possible
 Many Americans here assert that the Etgiish tourists In Germany had lit,1e cause for complaint. A party of them stranded at Cologne was put up free of charge by prominent hotel there.

 Much baggage of Americans had to be abandoned. Much of the rolling stock of the railways was in the hands of the military and needed for the transportation of troops. For this req son little baggage could be carried on trains. It has been learned, however, the responsible German express firms took charge of the baggage and that all of 1t. if properly labeled, can be re- covered easily. ~.s

But the war news outclassed the
storm news and the newspapers gave
but little space to the latter. The
first set OF tornadoes occurred In Ok.
lahoma. second set in Western iii.

sippi. Our forecast Of the great storm
period must be credited with having
been practically correct. 49,

ern sections 2S. Cool wave will cross

Preceding this cool wave and great
fall in temperatures will bring few
scattered showers, but not sufficient
to keep up with the necessities of the
growing crops. The evaporation line
will have moved from its April posi-.
ton. which was quite favorable to
good crop weather for all sections
east of the Rockies for April and first
part of May. and our forecasts of good
crop weather for that five or six
weeks were fully justified.
But for latter part of May and all
OF June the evaporation line will be
unfavorable TO the North American
crop weather and we are therefore ex.
pecting at least a moderate drouth
that will injure all our crops, but
more particularly oats and winter
wheat. For those reasons we have
advised the friends OF our weather
work to buy the September and De.
cember deliveries of oats and wheat
and not to sell these cereals. For the
same reasons we have given the same
advice as to cotton.
The drouth is expected to affect the
productions and market values of all
other crops, but more particularly
grass and hay. Timothy. clover and
fiaxseed. potatoes and vegetables that
mature in June and later will be af-
fected.
We have passed the greater part of
the 1914 dangerous storms and nerv-
Gus people can take rest. Two short
periods in which dangerous storms
will occur are still before us. Near
July 2S and August 9 our danger sig
nails will again be hung out Many
lives were probably saved and many
more might have been by our frequent
warnings of the dangerous storms of
last part of April and first port of
May.
