LLLL SIGHT OF WAR
While in no Danger Plans Are
Spoiled and Passage Money
Wasted
That the war prospects leave Ameri
can tourists in Europe in an unpleas
ant predicament is too plain to deny,
but there is no occasion for any real
alarm among their friends. Their
greatest hardship will be that their
plans are spoiled, their time lost and
their passage money more or less
wasted. There is at least no danger
to life or property. Temporary em
barrassment may be caused in some
instances by the difficulty of cashing
travelers' checks and letters of credit,
but most likely some plan will be ar
ranged to provide all with money to
get home and to enjoy a fair amount
of comfort during the period of wait
ing for transportation. To adventur
ous spirits there will be a certain
compensation for what they lose in
catching some spice of the war at
mosphere that now thrills the conti
nent.
In addition to the list of Harris
burgers now abroad published in the
Telegraph on Saturday are Edward
Bailey, the well-known banker with
Mrs. Bailey and their children, who
are in Scotland; Miss Mary Robinson
and her nieces, Miss Margaretta Flem
ing and Miss Suzanne Fleming who
have been in Germany for a year are
summering in Norway; Mrs. James I.
Chamberlin and daughter, Miss Jean
Chamberlin, of 323 North Front street,
are touring Russia with Judge and
Mrs. Edward W. Biddle, 'of Carlisle;
Miss Theodosia Boone and Miss Mar
tha Fleming, of the Seller school fac
ulty with Miss Jane Howard and her
niece, Miss Gertrude Olmsted are
spending most of their time in Nor
way; Mr. and Mrs. Sherman A. Allen,
of the Harrisburg Academy, are visit
ing in Holland; Dr. Charles B. Fager,
Jr., principal of the Technical High
School, Mrs. Fagcr and his mother,
Mrs. C. B. Fager, of Walnut street,
were in the Austrian Tyrol; Miss Lo
rene Shelly is taking a general tour of
Europe; Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Kuhn,
of Chicago, the latter formerly Miss
Rheta Adler, of this city, expected
to remain in Europe for six months
vi,siting famed watering places dur
ing the heated term. Miss Martha
Wolf Buehler, of North Second street,
has been with a party to Norway
which expected to be in Berlin this
week and Miss Clara Alricks when
last heard from was touring in
France.
Miss Mary Esther Knisley, of Front
and Maclay streets, sailed last Mon
day with Mrs. Harry Reily, of Texas,
a former schoolmate for Paris, France,
to visit Mrs. Reily's father, Mr. Weber.
They were passengers on the Kron
prinzessin Cecilie which left for Bre
men by way of Plymouth and Cher
bourg. Under ordinary circumstances
the Cecilie would have communicated
tirst with the Fastnet station, off the
southern coast of Ireland. It is be
lieved, therefore, that the vessel is
skirting the north of the British Isles,
with the intention of entering the
North Sea and making her way direct
to some German port.
Americans Crowd London
London—Not even at the height of
the tourist season have there been
more Americans in London than to
day. Although the pockets of many
of them are full of American and Eng
lish banknotes and American express
companies' bills, they might just as
well have nothing, for only gold and
silver is taken anywhere.
The flight from Paris has become
almost a panic. One of the Americans
who arrived from the French capital
to-day said the train which left Paris
at 9 o'clock last night was jammed
with Americans. Many of them went
to the station as early as 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and stood for hours
waiting for a chance to get aboard.
The heat was intense and there, was
much suffering among the women and
children, but nobody would give up
his place.
Berlin—Ambassador Gerard wishes
to call the attention of American
philanthropists to the really unfortu
nate conditions which will very soon
inevitably confront a large number of
the poorer American men and women
in Germany.
Among these are tourists, men and
women students, and others whose
money is already or soon will be used
up. The prices of lodgings and food
have gone up rapidly, and many
Americans who, through the crippling
of German steamship traffic, must re
main here a long time will soon be
without means.
Paris—The situation of Americans
on account of the war crisis was
much worse to-day. Inability to se
cure money was the chief peril, for,
despite alarmist rumors, there was
sure to be plenty of food for every
body and also plenty of trains to the
boats after the mobilization was over.
The financial situation is considered
so critical that it is understood the
American Ambassador, Mr. Herrick,
last night asked Washington to send
the swiftest cruiser bearing a cargo
of gold to anable Americans to cash
their present useless checks on Amer
ican banks. Transports to facilitate
getting out of the country also will
be- asked.
The Telegraph will be glad to pub
lish the names of any other Harris
burgers now abroad if they are sent in.

EAST NOT INCLUDED j
IN HATE INCREASE;
Decision in Freight Case Adds
From Fifteen to Twenty Mil- [
lions to Railroad Revenues
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., AUK. 3. The |
long awaited decision in the advance
rate case by the Interstate Commerce
Commission gives the railroads in the
territory west of Pittsburgh and east
of the Mississippi river an increase
which, it is estimated, will yield be
tween $ 15,000,000 and $20,000,000 ud
dtional revenue each year. No in
creases arc granted to the Kastern
roads, including those in New England,
hut several of the l>lg Eastern systems
will benefit'by their ownership of lines
in the Central Association territory.
For all of the railroads involved the
commission points the way to econo
mies and the stoppage of leaks which, j
in the end, it believes, will yield the I
railroads much more than the SSO,- j
000,000 additional revenue they sought j
to raise through the general increase ]
of 5 per cent, in freight rates.
The commission granted an increase ,
of 5 percent, to the section east of the
Mississippi river and north of the I
Ohio river, west of a line drawn be- j
tween Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
The commission refused to grant a :
like increase east of the Buffalo-
Pittsburgh line; refused increase on
lake-and-rail rates; advanced all class
rates 5 per cent, within the central
freight association territory,and grant
ed a like advance on all commodity
rates except coal, voke, brick, tile, clay,
starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
The commission's decision was based
upon the ground that under the rates
hitherto prevailing the service could
hot be commensurate with the public
demands. The new rates will increase
the income of the affected railroads
about 1 % per cent.
In addition to Its decision on the
rate increase, the commission suggests
that the railroads give less free ser
vice to shippers: that they abolish
the free transportation of passengers
and special cars; that they examine
carefully, before renewal, those con
tracts with sleeping car Companies
! which are about to expire; that they
! investigate whether the cost of prop
lerty needed to be acquired for the ben
eficial operation of their business is
not increased because directors in
| their companies are also interested in
' the holding of these properties.
Commissioners McChord and Dan
; iels dissented from the majority de
| clsion of the commission, and de
clared themselves in favor of a general
1 5 per cent, increase east as well as
west of the Pittsburgh-Buffalo lines.
I ,ook For Kurt her Relief
The fact is that the commission
plainb' intimates to the roads west of
| Pittsburgh that they are entitled to
more even than the full 5 per cent.,
but the commission's hands were tied
under the present proceedings In go
ing beyond the relief asked for. It is
this feature of the report which leads
many railroadmen to believe that
eventually they will get more substan
tial relief than was originally asked.
The increases granted for Central
Association territory include both class
and commodity rates—the full 5 per
cent., with the exception of coal, iron,
coke, cement, brick, tile, clay, starch
and plaster. These excepted commod
ities, of course, include a large part
of the tonnage of these roads. The
commission finds that the roads did
not sustain their burden of proof In
reference to the advances on these
Items.
In the' case of the Eastern trunk
lines and the railroads in New England
the commission holds that they failed
to sustain the reasonableness of the
j proposed 5 per cent, advances. The
| commission found that the financial
j condition of these carriers does not
warrant a general increase. The com
mission held that the needs of the New
England lines are being cared for
| locally.

BANKER SAYS WAR '
WILL HELP AMERICA
Conflict Will Benefit Farmers and;
Packers in This Country Says
S. H. March
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Berlin, Aug. 3.—What effect a gen- ;
eral European war will have upon the
United States was the subject that was
uppermost in the minds of numerous |
I romlnent American businessmen who
asesmbled in Berlin last week.
Sidney H. March, a New York
banker, and member of the firm of I/a
denburg, Thalmann & Co., said the im
pression that the American business- '
man gets from the situation is utter
astonishment that a country to which
is attached such commercial eminence
ao Germany possesses could dream,
on such a pretext as the Servian im
broglio, of risking everything in a
war of truly Incalculable dimensions.
Said Mr. March:
"America will profit from the strife
at the outset. Undoubtedly we shall be
called upon to furnish immense quan
tities of cereals and provisions for the
armies and navies, and our farmers
and packers for a long time will be
the chief source of sustenance without
which all warfare is impossible. Liong
range artillery and dreadnoughts have
not altered the truth of Napoleon's
dictum that armies and navies fight
on their stomachs. When the war is
over the other side of the medal will
reveal itself. Will the peoples of Eu
rope who have suflered from the strug
gle for political supremacy continue
to be customers to whom America can
sell In the hope of collecting the cost?
Will Germany, for Instance, any longer
buy $80,000,000 or $90,000,000 worth
of cotton for her textile mills, or an
equal amount of petroleum, copper or
any of the other great raw commodi
ties for which she now is dependent!
on America? Will her people have
felther the Inclination or the money to
import the vast quantities of our
manufactured goods they now take?
These are phases of the situation
which present themselves to an Amer
ican who takes a far-sighted view."
