EMBASSY HERE ANNOUNCES
FRENCH CAPITAL REMOVAL
FROM PARIS TO BORDEAUX

The French Embassy yesterday made
the formal announcement that the cap
ital of France has been removed from
Paris to Bordeaux. 1t was said that
this action was taken at the suggestion
of Gen. Joffre, commander-in-chief OF
the French forces. Further II was stated
that everything has been made ready for
a prolonged siege of Paris, although il
is not regarded as by any means GER
tain that there will be a siege
Those who have left Paris are the
President, the cabinet. and the clerks of
all the civil departments of government
The civil force is said to be not very
numerous, because every clerk who could
be spared is at the front, and the posi-
tons Of these clerks, young enough for
military service. have been taken by
men too old for fighting, many OF whom
are distinguished citizens of France.
Also II was declared again at the En-
bassy that the siege of Paris in the
present war will not furnish such an OPP
portunity to the Germans TO bring about
the fall of the city through starvation.
1t is said that II would be impossible
for the Germans to cut of Paris from
communication with her allies or her
armies. 1t was stated that no matter
how long the siege continued, communi-
cation between the government in Bor-
deaux and Paris would be maintained.
Just how was not explained.

Gugliemo Complain of Food
and Quarters.

New York, Sept. 2-Three refugee ships
arrived here today from Europe, bringing
1850 passengers. large number of whom

San Gugliemo, from Naples, with $50
cabin and steerage passengers, and the
Greek liner Loannina, from Piraeus and
Patras with 4Ss aboard
On the New York were 14s Americans
In the steerage, but most of the Ameri-
cans on this ship were without funds.
Nearly all the passengers on the italian
ship were Americans, and they were full
Of wrath. They charged that the. quar-
tiers, especially those in the steerage,
were filthy and that the food was not
1T To eat.
During a severe storm, August a. hun
dreds Of the passengers refused to go
below, declaring that they would rather
be swept into the sea than remain in the
quarters provided for them. There were
a number Of cases Of ptomaine poisoning
and after the first day most Of the pas
sengers on the San Gugliemo lived on
bread and water. The persons disem-
barking from the San Gugliemo named
two Americans, one a college professor
and the other. a clergyman, as being re-
sponsible for the conditions on board.
These men were supposed to represent
the United States consul at Naples and
got the best on the ship. il was said.

WIRELESS CENSORSHIP
Is SETTLED AMICABLY
Solution Reached After Conference
Between State Department and
Diplomatic Representatives.

The question OF the censorship upon
trans-oceanic wireless dispatches has
been settled. following an extended series
of conferences yesterday between the
State Department and the diplomatic rep
resentatives Of the various belliGerent
powers. The solution was explained in
a short statement gfNkn out by Secre-
tary of State Bryan, which said:
The government has reached decision
in regard to the use of high powered
wireless stations during the European
war. Hereafter all the belligerents may
send and receive wireless messages in
code or cipher. The American censors
at the stations will be furnished with
copies of code and cipher books so as 10
be in a position to determine that the
neutrality OF the United States is not
violated.
Thus far the British and German gov
ernments have acquiesced in this limited
use Of the wireless stations. As the en-
forcement of the executive order OF Au-
gust 5, placing high powered stations
under censorship, was left to the direc-
ton OF the Secretary of the Navy, the
Navy Department will prepare the regu-
lations under which this decision OF the
United States government will be carried
out"

The State Department is informed in

under date Of August 1e, that at this time
the ports OF Germany had not been
blockaded It is, of course, true that
since that writing the British or the
British 'and French combined feet may
have so disposed themselves in the North
Sea as to have materially changed the
situation. The State Department. how
ever. gave out the information in the fol-
lowing form:
The Department OF State has received
written dispatch from the American
Ambassador at Berlin, dated August l9.
in which he states that the following
has been given out by the official press
bureau in that city, under date Of
August 16.
The supposition which prevails in
neutral foreign countries that the Ger
man ports are blockaded and traffic with
Germany by water cut OF, Is incorrect.
No point is blockaded and there is moth
ing in the way. Of communication by ship
from neutral states to Germany.
Neutral ships bound for German
North Sea ports must steer by day for
a point ten sea miles northwest Of
Heligoland. There Germany provides for
pilots TO conduct the ships into the Ger
man ports Neutral ships must steer di-
rectly for Baltic ports There are pilots
before every port. Bunker coaling is still
allowed"
