Imperial Chancellor
Addresses Big Crowds
By Associated Press
Berlin. Aug. I.—The German Impe
rial Chancellor to-day addressed a
huge procession of demonstrators at
the windows of his official residence.
He said:
"At this serious hour, in order to
give expression to your feelings for
vojy fatherland you have come to the
house of Bismarck who with Emperor
William the Great and Field Marshal
Von Moltke wielded the German em
pire for us.
"We wished to go on living in peace
in the empire which we have de
veloped in fortv-four years of peace
ful labor.
"The whole work of Emperor Wil
liam has been devoted to the main
tenance of peace. To the last hour he
has worked for peace in Europe and
should the sword be . reed into our
hands we will take th> field with a
clear conscience in the ki wledge that
we did not seek war. We shall then
wage war for our existence and for the
national honor to the last drop of
blood.
"In the gravity of this hour I re
mind you of the words of Prince
Frederick Charles to men to Branden
burg: 'Let your hearts beat for God
and your fists on the enemy.' "
Enthusiastic cheers and the singing
of the national anthem greeted the
close of the Imperial Chancellor's
speech.

SATURDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 1, 1914.
I French Believe Germans
Are Mobilizing Forces
By Associated Press
Paris, Aug. I.—Baron Von Schoen,
German ambassador to France, called
at the foreign office just before noon
to-day and Premier Vlviani who was
then attending a cabinet council at the
Palace of the El.vsee, left his col
leagues at once and had half an hour's
conference with the German diplo
mat.
The conversations gave rise to an
impression that hope of peace must
not bo considered irremediably, but it
was admitted that the situation was
very gloomy.
Nothing was known among the
general public as to what was going
on behind the scenes along the Ger
man frontier. Every one supposed
that German mobilization was In prog
ress and that the French government
was taking the proper measures to
j meet the situation.
Foreign observers long resident in
France were deeply impressed with the
calmness of all classes of French peo
ple who although they do not want
war owing to their vivid realization of
what It means appear convinced that
it is a question of the national ex
istence.
Many weddings were performed
yesterday and to-day having been
hastened owing to the prospect of the
bridegrooms having to leave for the
frontier. The churches were full of
worshippers among them many
women.
Warships May Rescue
American Travelers
Special to The Telegraph
Washington. D. C., Aug. I.—Ships of
the United States navy may be called
upon to assist in bringing American
tourists from Europe, because of the
threatened general war and because of
the consequent restricted liner service.
The warships, it has been said, would
supplement the limited number of
ships in tiie American merchant ma
rine. While reports of such a move
were current, Secretary Daniels, of
the Navy Department, said he had not
taken up the subject.
American consuls throughout Eu
rope soon will receive instructions to
get into close communication with all
American residents and travelers in
their districts. If a general wab breaks
out the consuls will serve notice that
Americans should remove themselves
and their property from localities
which may become dangerous.
Standard Oil Company
Halts Oil Shipments
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 1. —All exports of
petroleum and other oil products des
tined for Europe have been stopped
by the Standard Oil Company, such
commodities being considered contra
band of war. Several Standard tank
ships that were to leave Atlantic ports
to-day have been ordered to remain at
dock.
Armour's Millions
Avert Wheat Panic
Special to t he Telegraph
Chicago, 111,, Aug. I.—Armour's mil
lions yesterday rescued the wheat
trade from panic. Instead of chaos
resulting from a settlement day in the
midst of a war market, with possibly
scores of firms embarrassed and a vir
tual certainty that bankruptcies, few
or many, would ensue, the Chicago
Board of Trade was enabled to main
tain its record of never having closed
no matter how great the emergency.
Last night not a single failure had
taken place. The chief reason was
that seventy-five entangled lirms and
individuals on 'change were freely
given aid by Armour & Co., whatever
were the necessities of the situation.
President George E. Marcy, of the
Armour Grain Company, was the man
who rose to the occasion. He quietly
circulated word on the floor of the
board, partly in person and partly
through his lieutenanes.that any mem
ber in trouble need only come to him.
Before nightfall Armour & Co. had
taken over 8,000,000 bushels of open
trades, which if not transferred were
critically in danger of not being safely
settled in due contract time on the ex
piration of business hours at the end
of the month.
World's Sunday Schools
Will Pray For Peace
New York, Aug. I.—Thirty million
members of the World's Sunday School
Association, scattered throughout the
world, have been called upon to pray
for peace. The call for the peace
prayer was issued by Sir Robert Laid
law, president of the association, ac
cording to announcement at the or
ganization's office here to-day, and Is
signed by him and by H. J. Heinz, of
Pittsburgh, chairman executive com
mittee; E. W. Werner, of this city,
chairman of central committee, and

$30,000,000 in Gold
Shipped to New York
Philadelphia, Aug. I.—Thirty mil
lion dollars in double eagle coins was'
shipped to-day by parcel post from'
the Philadelphia mint to the sub- j
treasury in New York, making a total
of fifty millions forwarded since
Thursday. It is said twenty millions
more will be sent on Monday.
The weight of the gold shipped to
day was 600 pounds less than 57 tons.
It was sent in bags, each bag contain
ing $5,000 and six of these bags were
put in a large mail bag. Postal wa
gons conveyed the precious metal from
the mint to special cars under armed
guard of twenty postal inspectors and
other government officers. All the
guards accompanied the gold to its
destination.
Garibaldi Will Enlist

New York, Aug. I.—General Giu

sentative here he said:
"My family and all the Italians who

AEROPLANE TO HELP
GET CROWDS TO HEAR
DEMOCRATS; RUMOR
But State Headquarters Denies It
Vehemently; Everybody
"Up in the Air"
The Democratic State candidates
are not going to have an aviator trav
eling around with them as an added
attraction like the Tyrolean yodlers
were billed with William Jennings
Bryan on the Chautauqua circuit bills,
it was declared at the Democratic
State windmill in Market Square this
morning. It was said that there was
absolutely nothing to the report that
arrangements had been made by any
one to have an aeroplane artist fly the
circuit of county fairs and picnics and
other gatherings coincident with Pal
mer, McCormick and the rest of the
aggregation. Whether it is considered
that the Democratic candidates are up
in the air enough as it is was not
I stated, but very great emphasis was
| placed on the statement that there
(was nothing to it at all.
While the folks at the windmill are
] very harsh in dealing with this nice
i midsummer tale, the fact remains tha't
an aviator flying around over the heads
of A. Mitchell Palmer and Vance C.
McCormick would be a very appro
priate and also attractive thing this
year. The story has been coming into
Harrishurg for the last few days that
the Democratic candidates, not being
very hopeful of drawing crowds in i
these days of the high cost of living,
have bfcen casting about for some
! means of stimulating attendance, and
that aviators have been asked for
terms. The connection between the in
quiries and the Democratic machine,
or any of its candidates, has been very
carefully concealed and the explosive
character of the denial of the rumor
issued at the windmill to-day would In
dicate that there is more or less sen
sitiveness on the subject of additional
attractions, crowds, candidates and
cartoons, and that aviators are not the
only people up in the air.

Whole Town Eager for News
Harrisburg, it goes without saying, '
is all agog for war news. The' baseball '
bulletin is deserted and the eye of the 1
populace is on the chronicling of the
doings of the powers of Europe. "Mat
ty" and McGraw are canned and the
interest centers on what the regular
kinks are doings.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoons
these days, instead of hearing the cus
tomary inquiry over the phone as to
what the score is at Island Park, or
what day of the year October 22, 1787,
was, the newsroom of the Telegraph
gets queries which range from asking
whether King George would lead the
British navy down to more rational <
queries as to whether Germany has
declared war, and if not, why?
Drop into any smokeshop in town
and it Is a 10-to-l shot that the old
timers' rows will be thick in a discus
sion of the situation abroad. Also it's
a safe bet that a popular vote on the
subject would yield this: "Aw, 1 don't
think there's goln' to be any war.
They're Just bluffln'." Most of the
town thinks that way. although if a
general war is precipitated there will
be lots of citizens who had it figured
out that way beforehand.
Not Sending Money to Europe
Somebody asked this morning
whether the foreigners were sending
tftelr money hack home In larger lots
than usual, but an inquiry at the
money order division of the Post Office
reveals the fact that there Is no appre
ciable change in the volume of the
money order business.
Opinions of local financiers are
about alike in regard to the effect i
that a general war would have on the ;
country. Speaking of the situation
last night, Charles A. Kunkel, presi
dent of the Mechanics Trust Company,
said that foreign holders of American
securities were flooding the market
with their securities and taking gold
in exchange. Mr. Kunkel approved
the closing of the stock exchange in
New York and of the pit in Chicago.
Effect of War Here
In regard to the effect of a Keneral
European war on this country he said:
"War would no doubt stimulate
many lines of business here for a while.
No doubt the Iron and steel business
would briKhten, as the European na
tions would need much steel for war
supplies.
"There would undoubtedly be a Rreat
dtmand for sxaln and other foodstuffs
and business would be better, of
ccurse, for the people who handle cot

such articles would necessarily follow
SETTING OF CURB
IN FRONT STREET

Concrete Base May Be Put Down
Next Week; Prepare

RIVER FRONT WALL HALF WAY
\
1 From Iron Alley to Market City's
"Front Steps" Practically
Finished
Curbing has been set in the new
section of Front street extending
through the subway, and within an
other week the contractors will be
. ready to begin placing the concrete
; with a view to surfacing and other
j wise getting the changed highway into
shape for traffic by September 1.
While there are gangs of men busy
putting the finishing touches to the
curb, other gangs are ripping loose
the asphalt top and otherwise clearing
that portion of Front street on the ap
proaches of the Mulberry street cross
ing that will eventually be closed to
traffic.
The restoration of the park land at
that point will be an Important part
jof the subway work, too, and it is ex
pected that the removal of debris and
the returting will be a matter of a
few weeks at best, as soon as the new
portion of Front street is ready for
service, and teams may pass through
it. Second street will be closed pre
paratory to the beginning of excava
tions for that subway.
Work on the Wall
Stucker Brothers Construction Com
pany, the river wall contractors, have
passed beyond Mulberry street with
the walk along the top of the wall.
The concrete men are hurrying and
within a few weeks, barring unforeseen
accidents due to weather conditions or
other delays, there will be a continu
ous stretch of Harrisburg's "front
steps" from Iron alley to Market
street, approximately half the ,dis
tance. Steps have been constructed
to beyond Reily street, and at points
above that the stringers have been set.
Work on the construction of the
concrete piers of the dam is being
pushed rapidly, as it is-desired to get
this part of the job completed the en
tire width of the river as quickly as
possible. The great one-ton concrete
slabs that will be placed to form the
face of the dam can be swung into
position later. A big derrick has been
erected along the wall to shift the
concrete slabs from bank to the dam.
The placing of the slabs, however, will
be left till the end of the job, so that
the dam need not be closed and thus
back up the water upon the river wall
work before the project has got be
yond the danger line. By allowing
the space between the pier forms open,
the water can flow readily through.
To Open Bridge FormaUy
Dock street bridge, another big mu
nicipal improvement that was started
this summer, Is being used daily by
scores of people by vehicular and trol
ley traffic, but It has not been for
mally accepted by the city. This will
be a matter of a few days, however,
as some finishing touches are being put
to the approaches.
As soon as the one connection with ]
the Nineteenth street sewer Is com-j
pleted, the great Spring creek 3 6-inch
concrete drain will be ready to turn
over to the city as complete. This is
the one other great improvement
started this year.
Washington Learns of
Ambassador's Departure
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. I.—Official ad
vices received at the White House to
[day report the German ambassador
[leaving St. Petersburg.. Ambassador
Herrick at Paris reported that a pro
posal to place German interests in
France In his hands was being dis
cussed there.
No action has been taken by this
government on the proposal for Am
bassador Herrick to represent Ger
many in P'rance, but officials expect
that such duties will devolve upon
American diplomats generally in Eu
rope and will be assumed by them.
Other reports received at the White
House from American diplomatic offi
cers were characterized "not encour
aging.-' None received by the Presi
dent held out any hope that a general
European war might he averted.
Ambassador Herrick hr.s been or
desed to remain at his post at Paris
throughout the present serious inter
national situation and until his succes
sor, William G. Sharp, arrives and
takes up his duties, probably the lat
ter part of this month.
along with increased business. A
seemingly natural result would be to
have better times for the railroads,
who would have to carry the goods
ordered by the foreign nations to our
pores.
"A large amount of gold would be
drawn from this country in case of
a general war and a large amount has
already been secured. But the tide
ought to turn in case of war before
long, as the warring nations would
ht-ve to purchase grain from this coun
try The payments would mean a
shipping of the bullion back to this
country."
Expect Food Prices to Go Up
In regard to the local effect of the
war on the price of wheat, and ulti
mately the price of flour, it was said at '
the offices of the Paxton Flour and
Feed Company to-day that it was be
lieved that the crisis in Europe, which
resulted in the spectacular Jump In
July and September options on the
Chicago Board of Trade, will have
some effect on prices. l Wheat is now 1
selling at 80 cents, an advance of 5
cents since the present crop started.
That this advance might have resulted
even if there had been no war scare
was easily demonstrable upon com
parison with figures of previous years,
It was said.
Resident heads of Iron and steel
companies agree that metals yet have
to feel the effect of the struggle at
arms. That there will undoubtedly be
a tremendous activity In this trade if i
the war comes and especially if it lasts
for any length of time, is apparent.
Meats Will Go Soaring
That beef will take a big jump In
price also was asserted by meat deal
ers. The supply of cattle in the coun- 1
try is now so seance as to presage an ;
advance even without the war as a j
further stimulus, and a protracted war, 1
which would mean that the Euronean '
countries would nrobably have to draw 1
on the United States for beef, would '
set the prices of steaks and other !
meats to prohibitive prices.
On the other hand .there \vould be
plenty of work for everyone: in fact 1
more than could go around, In the 1
steel and textile industries, and In 1
manv other lines, so that the situation '
would sum up: food prices higher, but 1
greater production and perhaps higher 1
wages to compensate. <
It would, of course, be Europo
whose blood would be drained, both
literally and figuratively.

MORTON SPEAKS OF
CHALMER SESSIONS
Convention of Dealers and Factory
Efficiency Reviewed by
Local Representative
The season just closed has establish
ed the fact that Chalmers "Sixes" are
the leaders of the country among qual
ity cars at medium prices in the opinion
of Robert L Morton, local representa
tive of the Chalmers Company, who has
just returned from a big convention of
the Chalmers selling organization.
"I have never seen a convention so
enthusiastic as the 500 Chalmers deal
ers with whom I have spent the past
week," said Mr. Morton.
"For Chalmers dealers the country
over the past season has brought won
derful increases In business. The
Chalmers Company has sold more cars
with a greater aggregate value than
during any previous season. Some of
the largest dealers in all parts of the
country report increases of from 25
per cent, to 150 per cent, in their sales.
Our own territory was not the excep
tion, but the general rule, I found dur
ing the Chalmers convention.
"I wish that everyone of my cus
tomers might have attended this con
vention and gotten the same inspira
tion which I did.
"The convention opened in Detroit,
July 17, and the first day was spent in
a thorough inspection of the Chalmers
factory and Chalmers manufacturing
methods. The growth of the company
has been marvelous. Even those who
are in the habit of visiting the factory
at least once or twice a year see won
derful changes. I have never been
through a plant which evidenced such
a high degree of efficiency.
"At present the Chalmers factory
covers thirty acres of ground, with
about 1,500,000 square feet devoted to
manufacturing Chalmers cars. Every
essential part of the car is built com
plete in the plant. For modern ma
chinery and rigid manufacturing stan
dards I havn never seen its equal.
There is actually one inspector to every
thirteen workmen throughout the
plant.
"The convention left Detroit July 17
for Cedar Point, Ohio, where business
session were held during the following
four days.
"The object of the convention was to
standardize Chalmers sales and service
methods. To anyone who attended this
convention It was evident that Chal
mers dealers are, generally speaking,
the leading dealers in their territories.
The interchange of ideas covered every
phase of the automobile business. We
heard from the largest automobile
dealers in North America, from Winni
peg to New Orleans, from San Fran
cisco to New York.
"We devoted one entire day to the
study of Chalmers cars, and I want to
say that if I could have had every pros
pective automobile buyer In my terri
tory at that convention to studV Chal
mers cars as I studied them, T would
not lose a sale to any car in the Chal
mers price class.
"In spite of the fact that the year
Just closed has been the biggest in the
Chalmers Company's history, I am con
fident that next season will be an even
greater one. The Chalmers Comoany
is growing steadily. It represents the
quality Ideals which stand for perma
nency in the automobile business. I
know of no company which is in a bet
ter position to survive the constant
changes in the motor car business. As
In the past the Chalmers Company will
build for the future on a strictly qual
ity basis—and at the demand of 500
distributors who attended this conven
tion. there will be a material Increase
In the Chalmers output for the com
ing year. From prospects in our own
territory I feel sure that our company
will enjoy its percentsge of the Increas
ed business during the next < jive
months."
