AMERICANS WILL RUSH
TO EUROPE WHEN WAR

New York, Sept lS.-Millions of dol.
lars poured into this country by warning
European powers for munitions are TO
be poured back into Europe at the end
of the war by American tourists and
immigrants, who will return to their
home countries to aid in the work of re.
Mobilization.
American curiosity to see famous bat.
tie fields and the desire of aliens to
play part in rebuilding the war torn
cities of their eountrynien will send
money flooding back to Europe, accord.
ing to indications at steamship offices
here today.
Taking as an estimate, as viewed by
steamship officials, that 100000 Amer.
leans will visit Europe during the first
year after the war, and that they will
spend an average of $1,000 each, $l00,.
100000 will be returned to the Euro
pean countries within l2 months after
peace is restored.
Europe, will of course, pe a greater
place than ever before, after the war.
steamship men point out, and consider
ing the wealthy Americans who will
visit the continent as well as those OF
more moderate means. the estimate Of
$1,000 each as the amount they will
spend, is regarded as low.

This Story

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-Efforts to
impeach the testimony of important
state witnesses by showing that they
may have been offered or received mon
ey by the police created sensation
during today's session of the trial of
Warren X. Billings on charge of murder
in connection with the preparedness day
bomb explosion.
This is believed to be the "bomb
shell'' which counsel for the defense
have been intimating they would ex-
plode in the case. Attorney McNutt in
timated this course of action by the de-
fense while cross examining John Me-
Donald, state witness who testified
that he had seen Billings place suit
prior to the explosion.
Mcdonald testified that his attention
was called to the man, whom he identi-
fietd as Billings by the man IS peculiar
actions. He declared he saw Billings
come down Steuart street from the di-
rection of Mission. He was carrying
suitcase and was continually glancing
about. Witness said he believed at the
time the man had stolen the suitcase so
he watched his actions closely.
After placing the case near the saloon
on the corner, Billings, according TO the
witness, entered the saloon and later
emerged with man, whom the witness
identified as Thomas Mooney, also
charged with murder.
Stuck to His Story.
The two then separated testified Nc
Donald, Billings going back toward Mis-
sion street and Mooney disappearing
into the crow nearby.
Cross examining the witness, Attor-
ney McNutt vigorously assailed the tes-
timony.
"Do you know a barber named Frank
Sunday9"
Witness said he did.
"Did you ever tell Sunday that as
though in dream, you had seen man
plant the suitcase and later, when talk
ing with Sunday and laborer named
Beach, say when these fellows go over
the road III get mine and III go east
in parlor cars. And another day didn It
you say you were getting paid for the
work $3 a day, which you thought the
state was paying for?"
To both Of these questions Mcdonald
answered "no.'
Mcdonald denied he told Captain
Rockway of the Salvation Army "I1i
90 back to Baltimore on cushions when
/ get mine and these guys, Billings and
Mooney are railroaded.'
1t is now believed that Sunday will
be the first witness called by the de-
Tense, which will attempt to refute tho
testimony of Mcdonald.
Rockway will also be called.
