Chelsea
Continued From First Pace

minutes later there was great
series Of eXplosions-anti-ai aircraft
guns or bombs. nobody could tell
which. Half an hour later there
was another series of booms.
Chelsea's streets provided a
beautiful exhibition of British hu-
man nature under stress. About
nine-tenths of Chelsea's population
are the tenement class; the rest are
nice elderly people, artists and pro-
fessional folks. Ordinarily the
upper crust and proletariat do not
have much to do with one another:
literally, they do not speak the same
language.
The only difference between them
this morning was that the nice
people were in dressing gowns and
slippers while the poor folks came
out half dressed with their shoes un-
laced. Most of them appeared
ooediently In the streets after the
AFRAID warning and made for
shelters. The all-clear warning
was sounded at 9 clock, two hours
and 20 minutes after the warning
first sounded.
Then they walked unshamediy
back to their flats and tenements.
The war of 1889 is no war of chiv-
airy and does not allow for any
class distinction. In a way it may
not be bad experience for Chelsea.

Panama Asks All
American Republics
To Peace Session
Means Of Avoiding
War Disturbances
Would Be Discussed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the blessing of the United
States Government, the Republic
Of Panama has issued invitations to
all the American republics to attend
conference designed to preserve
peace in the Western Hemisphere,
maintain normal trade and prevent
financial disturbances on this con-
tinent as a result OF Europe's war
1t was learned at the State De-
partment last night that the
Panamanian government was send
ing out the invitations In the name
Of itself, the United States. Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia
Cuba and Mexico.
Secretary Hull said today some
State Department officials probably
would go from Washington to at
tend the conference. He said this
Government had some definite ideas
about what might be taken up, but
had not undertaken to discuss an
agenda with other governments.
The State Department disclosed
that number of South American
governments had suggested there
should be some consultation In line
with the declaration of Pan-Amer-
ican solidarity which was approved
by the international conference at
Lima, Peru, last year 1t was decided,
however, to wait until an actual
declaration of war before arranging
such a consultation.
Several of the American republics
decided to ask Panama to send out
the invitations.

orders we're carefully scanned by the
President, Secretary Of State Hull
and other advisers before the Presi-
dent finally put his signature to
them, and Mr.. Hull countersigned
and afixe0 the seal of the United
States. They were issued through
the State Department-and the de-
partment had full day. The final
document was not given to the
press until well after pm.
Sees No U. S. Convoy.
The President at his press confer
ence said that in all probability no
naval vessels would be used to con-
voy American merchant ships from
Europe to this country, carrying
American citizens back home, as had
been suggested.
The consensus here and at
the American Embassies in Lon
don and Paris, he said, was to
the effect that it would be better
Tor American merchant vessels to
run on regular sailing schedule. on
their regular routes with all lights
burning, after having the American
flag painted on their sides and
decks. 1t was felt they would be
safer from submarine attack under
those conditions than If they were
accompanied by naval vessels, zig
zaglng their courses, and running
without lights at night. Belligerent
submarines might under those cir
cumstances mistake American mer-
chantmen for vessels of other bel
ngerent powers and attack.
Under the neutrality laws Ameri-
can citizens are permitted to re-
turn to this country in vessels of
belligerent nations for a period of
30 days after declaration of war.
The Embassies in London and Paris
nave been so notified, But the
President expressed the opinion that
returning American citizens would
be much safer if they made the re-
turn trip on American flag ships.
In his proclamation putting into
eject the embargo provisions of the
neutrality laws, the President quoted
from the joint resolution passed by
Congress in 1887. The joint reso-
luton not only prohibits the sale
and shipment of arms and NUM-
tlons to belligerent nations, after
the President shall have found
state of war exists, but 1t prohibits
their sale and shipment to any neu-
tral state for trans-shipment to a
oelllgerent power. Penalties are
provided for violations of the law
IN the form of fines up to $4,000

Neutrality Embargo
Imposed, Special
Session Undecided
Roosevelt Begins to
Receive Protest on
Arms Sole Bon
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


For the first time with q ma ior
war In Europe this country today is
operating under the terms of a
mandatory embargo against the sale
and shipment of arms and NUM-
tions to the belligerent powers.
President Roosevelt put the en-
barge into effect late yesterday,
issuing a proclamation prohibiting
the expectation of seven categories
OF arms and munitions, ranging
from rifles and airplanes to mustard
gas and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. It
supersedes all contracts belligerent
nations now have with American
manufacturers for airplanes, arms
and munitions.
The Administration is now await
ing the reaction of the country to
the embargo, which will prevent the
sale OF much-needed arms and mu-
nitions to Great Britain and France
and to Germany If she could get
them from this country to her own
shores.
The President is still considering
and may continue to consider for
some time-the adviSability of call
ing Congress into special session. He
said at his press conference yester-
day afternoon that no decision in
the matter had been reached at all.
He said in effect that the only rea-
son why Congress would be needed
at all at this time would be for a
revision of the neutrality laws, in
cluding the repeal Of the mandatory
embargo.
Embargo Protests Received.
Already messages have begun to
pour into the White House, protest.
ing the embargo and urging that
steps be taken to do away with it..
The reaction as evidenced in the
press, in messages from the people,
will be carefully weighed. 1t is ex-
pected to have its effect upon Con-
gress, which before it adjourned in
August, declined to repeal the en-
barge at that time.
Formal notification of our neu-
trality policy was delivered to the
French government this morning by
Ambassador William C. Bullitt, the
Associated Press reported.
Calling briefly on French Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet, the Am
bassador delivered a copy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's .proclamations of
yesterday. No covering note accom-
panied the copy.
The embargo proclamation was
only one of series of proclama-
tions dealing with American neu-
trality issued by President Roosevelt
yesterday. His first was a general
proclamation under the laws of the
United States and the law of ma
tions, historic in character and
similar to proclamations of neutral
ity issued by President Woodrow
Wilson and other Presidents of the
past when foreign wars were de-
clared. Two other proclamations
had to do with the Panama Canal
Zone and the application of the
neutrality laws thereto-and the
protection of the Canal from un-
neutral acts either by American
citizens or by aliens. Executive
orders making the proclamati tions
effective were issued also.
All of these proclamations and

or imprisonment up to five years or
both.
At his press conference, which
was one of the most largely attended
during the Roosevelt administration,
the President said that he had made
no decision whatever regarding q
call Of Congress for a special ses-
sion.
The President said he believes no
further appropriations will be need
ed from Congress until the regular
session.
Discussing the neutrality proc
lamation the President said that
there should be pretty good en-
phasis" on the language without
interfering with free expression of
opinion and sympathy" He men
TONED this language when asked
whether similar wording was to be
found in neutrality proclamations
OF the United States in earlier wars.
The President said that he did not
know whether 1t had been so in
cluded and added: This may be
historic
The President referred to the act
as the "so-called Neutrality Act"
He was asked why he dubbed the
law the "so-called" neutrality.
His reply was that Secretary of
State Hull had been referring to the
Neutrality Act as the so-called neu-
trality law for long time and so
had he himself.
