 Quickening Circular to American Con- suls in Germany
 In these first days of the war we also made d card index of all the Americans in Berlin and, so far as possible, in Germany, in order to weed out those who had received the passports in the first days when pos siJly some people not entitled to them received them, and to find the deserv- ing cases. All Americans were re- quired to present themselves at the embassy and answer a few questions after which, if everything seemed all right their passports were marked | Recommended for transportation to America

 American Embassy.
 Berlin, August F. 1914. To the Consular Representatives Of
 the United States in Germany, and
 for the General Information o1
 American Citizens:
 A communication will tomorrow be published in the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger regarding the sending of a special train to the Dutch frontier for the special conveyance of Americans Other trains will probably be ar ranged for from time to time. No further news has teen received re- gardng the sending of transports from the United States. but applications for repatriation are being considered by the embassy and the various con- sular officers throughout Germany. according to the embassys last cir rular and the announcements pub lished in the Lokal Anzeiger.
 All Americans leaving Berlin must have their passports stamped by the Foreign Office, for which purpose they should apply to Geheimer Laga- tionsrat, Doctor Eckhardt, at Will helinstrasse 75. Americans residing outside of Berlin should ascertain from their respective consular repre- sentatives what steps they should take in this regard
 Letters for the United States may hc sent to the embassy and will be f-rw'r'l4d at the first opportunity. German subjects who desir' tc crliinlniC ate with friends in Eng and, Russia, France or Belgium, or who desire to send money, should make their requests to the Imperial Foreign Office Americans are per mitted to enter Italy The steamers of the Italian lines are running at present, but are full for some time in advance. The embassy is also in- | formed that the steamer from Vlissin- ] gen, Holland, runs daily at II a. m i The ambassador cannot, however, rec l onmend Americans to try to reach | Holland by the ordinary schedule trains, as he has received reports of ! delays en route, owing to the fact that all civil travellers are elected from | trains when troops require accommo- l dations. It is better to wait for special trains arranged for by the embassy.
 The Dresdner Bank and it's branch- es throughout Germany will cash for i Americans only letters of credit and checks issued by good American banks 1 in limited amounts. Included in this category are the checks of the Bank CTS Association, Bankers Trust com pany, International Mercantile Marine | company and American Express com pany. All checks and letters of credit must, however, be stamped by Amer | ican consuls, and consuls must see l that the consular stamp is affixed to i those checks and letters of credit only i as the bona fide property of American citizens. The CommerZ and Disconto ! Bank makes the same offer and the Deutsche Bank will cash checks and l letters cf credit drawn by it's corre- spondents.
 draw later on the Dresdner Bank for their salaries and the official ex- penses of their consulates Before drawing such funds from the bank, however all consular officers should submit their expense accounts to me for approval. These expense accounts should be transmitted to the embassy at the earliest opportunity.
 THE AMBASSADOR
 It win he noticed from the above circular that all Americans were re- quired to have their passports stamped at the Foreign Office One American did not receive back his passport, although he had left it at the Foreign Office. The Foreign Of flee claimed that it had delivered the passport to some one from the en- bassy but we were not very much surprised when this identical passport Tuilied up later in the possession of Lodi, the confessed German spy, who was shot in the Tower of London.
