Washington, D. C., Aug 14.—Cap
tains of finance and Industry con
ferred to-day with President, Wilson
and Secretary McAdoo on measures
to uphold the commerce and credit of
the United States during thfc European
war.
Headed by J. P. Morgan, James J.
Hill, James Speyer and other prom
inent figures in the nation's business
life, they, discussed means of restor
ing America's trans- Atlantc' trade and
the financial situation at home gener
ally.
The conference agreed that the first
I move must be to find ships to carry
cargoes congesting railroads and ter
minals. It was the general opinion,
however, that the government must
provide a war risk for both ships and
cargoes, as already has been done by
England and France, or the amend
ment to the shipping laws to bring
foreign vessels under American regis
ter would lose much of Its value.
The prosopal, to lower or subst
itute the gold reserves in the banks
Iwas not taken up.
I The question of providing a means
|of foreign exchange also was dis
cussed as one of the paramount prob-
I lems to be disposed of with the re
! sumption of trade.

Department, where Secretary McAdoo
outlined the financial situation from
the government's point of view, the
businessmen went to the White House

By Associated Press
San Francisco, Aug. 14. J. C. Wil
son and Company, members of the
New York Stock Exchange, the New
York Cotton Exchange, the Chicago
Board of Trade and the San Francisco
Stock and Band Exchange announced
here to-day that after careful delibe
ration the firm had decided to go into
voluntary bankruptcy.
"The suspension," says a statement
given out at the offices of the com
pany, "is brought about solely by the
extraordinary American conditions
following on the European war.
"The banks, to meet the drain of
money, naturally restricted their loans
and called fur payment from their
debtors. We met these demands for
some time and then were compelled
in turn to call on our margin clients
to make additional payments on their
accounts. They answered that they
could furnish additional security but
not furnish additional money. The
exchanges being closed, wo could not
even sell the securities of such de
faulting clients."
What form the bankruptcy proceed
ings will take, cannot lie determined

Dragoons Killed in
Dash Into Barricade
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 14, 0:10 a. m.—The
Daily Mail's Brussels correspondent,
described the engagement at Haelen
as showing that the Belgians have
passed another good test. He says
that intermittent booming of heavy
guns was audible all morning. This
was punctuated about 11 o'clock by
sharp detonations, as the Belgians
blew up the brigades over the river
Gette just in the nick of time. They
were under shrapnel fire and the Ger
man cavalry was just dbouching to
cross.
With the bridges destroyed, the
fight resolved itself into an artillery
duel, the shrapnel bursting and leav
ing a long trail of white smoke.
In the meantime a squadron of
Mecklenburg dragoons, with rather re
duced effectiveness, endeavored to
penertate the town of Diest at a gal
lop. About a mile from the town
they dashed into a barricade of wag
ons' lined by Belgian infantry. The
Germans had their revolvers drawn
and charged directly at the barricade.
The Belgians behind the barricade
opened murderous fire and all the
dragoons were either killed or taken
prisoners. The only living things to
surmount the barrier were seven rider
less horses maddened by fear.
The Germans then tried to reduce
resistance at this point by a cross
fire from a battery but after an in
terval ceased firing and owing to sim
ilar repulses on other positions of their
front withdraw in disorder, according
to some accounts, to the other side
of Gette.
Only two Belgians were wounded.
In front of the barricade the Germans
lay like a hedge.

Frankfort was forcibly taken from his

he was kicked and cuffed.

J London Correspondent
Says Belgians Make
a Habit of Success
By Associated Press
London. Aug. 14, 3 A. M. —The Post
correspondent with the Belgian army
sends the following:
"The success of the Belgian array
has been astonishing. Every where
along the line of outposts the Germans
meet with baffling checks. Like an
angry dog faced by a porcupine, the
vaunted Brussian army stands puzzled.
"I do not wish to exaggerate the
facts or to pretend that the Belgians
are winning a series of important bat
tles. Their success so far are all in
trinsically small, but they are making
a habit of success. All dread of the
Prussians is gone and that is a most
valuable gain.
"Yesterday I walked some distance
with a soldier who was on his way
from Brussels to one of the Liege
forts Clearly, therefore, the Liege
forts are not closely invested, when
individual soldiers can come and go.
"The Belgians jokingly wonder when
the German military skill will begin
to show itself. The auracity of the
Uhlan raids seems nothing more than
the audacity of bewilderment, like
men who passed from behind. In con
tact with the Belgian cavalry, the Uh
lans showed inferiority. Moreover,
j neither the artillery nor infantry has
i shown brilliancy.
"As an actual fact the attitude of
| the Germans to-day is almost defen
sive; certainly it is not offensive in
I any spirited sense."

"Discussion by correspondence will

Refugees From London
New York, Aug. 14. The Ainerican
