CRAVE ACTS BY
GERMANS ARE
ALLEGED ON the
FRENCH BORDER
French Cabinet Council
Deliberates on Crisis
And Measures

Paris. Aug. 1.-The French cabinet
council deliberated until early this
morning, discussing the crisis and
prospective measures. President Poin-
care signed three DEGREES, the first
extending until Aug 81 the terms for
the payment of obligations becoming
due within that time; the second pro-
hiibting the exports of grains and 9TH
er products of the soil; and third
abolishing duties on the importation OF
farinaceous products.
A brief formal item setting forth
the action of the council was given
out and a review of the developments
to date was sent out by a semi off1ciai
news agency. This communication, af-
ter referring to the extreme gravity
of the crisis, says:
1T is learned that since July 20. up
to today, Germany has armed its forts
and concentrated to the east of Thion-
vile CDiedenhofen) and Metz num-
Der of army corps. Their outposts are
formed of numerous troops on the
border of our immediate frontier. The
patrols of cavalry of Germany have
even penetrated our territory.
I'VE know also of other grave acts
which have been committed.
Communication has been cut and
the routes have been barred and pro-
hibited by soldiers; numerous automo-
bilists proceeding as tourists have
lost their machines through confisca-
ton. Railroads in the vicinity of the
frontier have been destroyed and ma
chine guns have been placed along this
district.
Three locomotives of the Eastern Rail-
road Co. have been stopped at Mont
reux-Vieux, a German frontier station,
and IA other locomotives at Amanvillers
(another German station) have been put
in such condition as to make their re-
turn to France Impossible. At the mo-
ment there is no normal means of tran
sit between France and Germany. We
believe that the council of ministers
should deliberate on these facts and con-
slider measures necessary.

Thousands Delayed in Sailing
And Provision Merchants
Face Heavy LOsses-Pier
Gates Closed and Strict Guard
Keeps Visitors from Vessels
Refuse to Insure Russian
Ships

New York, July 31.-Trans Atlantic
service of passenger and freight
steamships with sailings between
American and German ports has been
practically suspended for an indefinite
period, owing to the international sit
uation abroad BY wireless today the
Hamburg American Line recalled its
vessel President Grant and the North
German Lloyd Line its Grosser kur-
fuerst, both of which sailed from this
port yesterday, the former ship for
Hamburg and the other for Bremen.
Each of these lines announced that
its ships would be held until further
notice at the points where they are
now in port, including Hamburg,
Bremen, New York and Boston. Ships
now in mid ocean will be held sim
ilarly at their points of destination.
Thousands of passengers will be de-
layed in sailing and must seek pass
age on other boats if they decide to
go to Europe Immediately. Booking
agencies made arrangements for the
transfer of some of the 5000 passen
gers of the Vaterland, the Hamburg
American liner which was to have

vision merchants ready to load ocean
going German ships with supplies,
faced heavy losses today as such per-
ishable food as had been taken to
the piers was not taken on board.
The pier gates in Hoboken were closed
and a strict guard maintained against
others than passengers and crews going
aboard the German ships. Visitors were
barred At several piers the receiving of
freight was suspended.

was intimated by their agents here to-
day. The company is largely a Danish
undertaking and such a step would be
natural, it was said.
1t was learned today in marine insur-
ance circles that underwriters had re-
fused to insure ships flying the Russian
flag and that there was great hesitancy
in taking risks on German steamships or
their cargoes.

]. P. MORGAN GIVES
OUT STATEMENT

New York, July 31.--J. P. Morgan to-
day issued the following statement:
Alarming as the news is from Eu-
rope, We are still hoping that there will
not be n general war. While the gravi-
ty of the present situation can hard
ly be exaggerated there is still the OPP
portunity for the sober second thought
of the people of Europe to prevail
over their first impulses. If the deli
cate situation can be held in allegiance
for few days, l should expect a ris-
ing tide of protest from the people
who are to pay for war with their
blood and their property.
THE situation of the American Sc
curity market during the past few
days has been splendid illustration of
the inherent soundness of financial
conditions in this country. While we
all earnestly hoped that the New York
Stock Exchange might be kept open,
the situation is fraught with so much
uncertainty that it seemed necessary
in the interest of the whole country to
close the Exchange.
TT is essentially time for the own
ers of American securities to keep
their heads. Bear in mind that the ac-
tual properties represented by Amer
lean securities will not suffer greatly
by an European war.
During the past few days the Amer
lean people have been buying back
American securities at low prices.
Presumably they will pay for these Sc
curities with their wheat and other
products at high prices.
1T is idle to say that America will
not be hurt by the general European
war. The wholesale waste of capital
involved in such a catastrophe would
result in a distribution of losses the
world over, but the loss here would
be infinitesimal compared with the
losses to the countries Immediately in
volved. There is no doubt that the
whole American people will cooperate
to restore normal conditions through
out this country at the earliest posi-
BILE moment"
