Each Man Hurried
To His Regiment

SATURDAY.. Aug. 1st.-Last night
when ] went home, at about mid
night, found the police going about
with the orders for mobilization,
ringing the doorbells and summoning
the men to the colors. There was no
time to tarry, but each man tumbled
out of bed into his clothes and hur-
ried away to his regiment. Two Of
my neighbors were routed out little
after midnight and got away within
the hour. There was good deal Of
weeping and handshaking and fare
yelling, and it was not the sort of
thing to promote restful sleep.
This morning got down to the
chancery at 8;15 and found that
Omer, our good messenger, had been
summoned to the colors. He had
gone. Of course, and had left a note
for me to announce the fact. He had
been i'll and could perfectly well have
been exempted. The other day, when
we had discussed the matter, had
told him that there would be no diff
Guilty in getting him off. He showed
no enthusiasm, however, and merely
remarked. without heroics, that it
was up to him.
Colonel Falls, 7th Regiment, of the
National Guard Of New York, came
in, having been sent back from the
frontier.
Millard Shaler, the American min
ing engineer, who had just come back
from the Congo, came in with his
amusing Belgian friend who had
been telling us for weeks about the
wonderful new car in which he was
investing. This time he came around
10 let me have look at it, he having
been advised that the car was requi-
yitioned and due 10 be taken over to-
day.
We have done land-office busi-
ness in passports, and shall probably
continue TO turn them out by the
dozen.

Subway Tied Up
By Flood From Main

The bursting of water main be-
tween Chambers and Canal streets at
1880 this morning flooded the subway
and tied up all north and south bound
traffic between Worth and Eighteenth
Street stations.
The spout Of water burst up through
the pavement. throwing a jet some
twenty feet in the air. Immediately
the water began to run down ventilat-
ors into the subway. flooding the tracks.
For nearly an hour thereafter the
main continued 70 spout, while the
water crept further and further along.
At Canal Street station il almost
reached the platforms. The Sea Beach
line of the subway was also under wa
ter and tied up.
Persons returning homeward late
were refused tickets at the stations
and were forced to seek transportation
on elevated or surface lines.
Shuttle trains are being operated be-
tween Brooklyn Bridge and Atlantic
Avenue station. Brooklyn.
The fire and water departments and
the Public Service Commission were
promptly notified and relief crews were
sent at once.
