MICE TRIPPED BY WAR PLAN RELIEF 2,000 Hold Jolly Meeting in Lon don and Laugh at Predicment; Want to Go Home London, Aug. 4. Dramatic scenes were enacted yesterday when more than 2,000 Americans held a mass meeting at the Waldorf and, amid patriotic organized to help Americans Wranded in London and on the Continent. The assemblage was in joyous mood despite its predica ment. Vice-President F. I. Kent, of the Bankers' Trust Company, who was elected temporary chairman, said: "Wo must first recognize this as the gravest crisis civilization has ever faced, and in order to work together we must have a strong permanent or ganization composed of committees who can and will do big things. We need, first, a committee on transporta tion. No steamship companies can find out authoritatively what is going on. Secondly, we need a committee composed of men understanding bank ing laws who can go to the banks of London and who can satisfy hotel peo ple that they will be protected on the paper tendered them, because paper is all we have, and, third, we must have a committee to which everybody can apply if there is any friction' "We wish the hotel people to un derstand that if they do not stand by us now they will not stand much show with Americans when things become pleasanter." Sense of Humor Alive Laughter greeted this remark, show ins that despite the seriousness of the situation the American sense of humor was still alive. "The fourth is a gov ernmental committee to keep in touch with the Ambassador,' said the chair man. "We must also have a commit tee in every hotel, and Introduce the card system of every American here, so that if we are able to arrange with the United States to send transports we will be able to place you with the greatest ease. With this organization we can handle the situation fairly well and meet every emergencq. The trans portation committe is likely to be more important than the finance com mittee if we get home; then the bank ers will not count." At this there were shouts of laughter. The permanent chairman, Theodore Hetzler, vice-president of the Fifth Avenue Bank, said: "Don't get panic stricken, we'll all get out." Then he read a message from Ambassador Wal ter H. Page, saying he had not re ceived a reply from Washington to his cabled inquiry as to what was be ■ ing done by the State Department. This provoked indignant cries: "Why isn't Page here?" Other criticisms followed until Hetzler shouted, "He is at the Foreign Office now trying to do things for us. Don't oppose him, but help him. He is in a situation such as never con fronted any diplomat in history." State Senator Hawes, of Pennsylva nia, said: "I am just from Paris. The Amer icans there have no money and no transportation. The boat that brought me here last night was a human hell, for the women and phildren. Ameri cans are being delivered at ports, but have no way of getting over to Eng land. More boats must be sent at once. I was sorry to hear the note of criticism against Ambassador Page. There must not be a moment of hesi tation in our loyalty to the President land to the Ambassador." This was cheered loudly. Mr. Hawes urged every American present to cable his Senator or Congressman urging that convoys or government transports be sent here. Oscar Straus said: "Fellow emi grants, or exiles( loud laughter), do not be alarmed. The American gov ernment will certainly work out a plan to afford you every facility to get back. Be calm, we all stick together." Senator Clark, of Chicago, and James C. Watson also spoke. Three cheers were given for the men who ar ranged the meeting and those present joyfully joined In singing patriotic songs. ' The following committees were ap pointed: Finance —Theodore Hetzler, Fred I. Kent and James G. Cannon. Transportation Joseph F. Day, Francis M. Weld and George D. Smith, all of New York. Diplomatic—Oscar S. Straus, Walter L. Fisher and James Byrne. Hotels—L. H. Armour, of Chicago, and Thomas J. Shanley, of New York. The committees have established headquarters where Americana may register and obtain assistance. STEAMER (HYING £IOIOO.OOO IS SIFE [Continued From First Page] back to America. We have enough coal for our return home and it Is my earnest hope that we shall not be In tercepted by foreign war vessels." Two Days From Plymouth Theer was nervous laughter, ap plause, congratulations, protests, which gave way to a grave state of apprehension as the seriousness of the situation became apparent. Electric lights weer turned off and the ship was covered from prow to stern In a shroud of canvas. This smothered whatever beams of light escaped through chinks in the stateroom win dows. According to the ship's log, she was then within two days of Ply mouth. A g&roup of financiers on board of fered to buy the ship and sail her un der American colors, but to all pro posals the captain replied that his duty was spelled by his orders from Bremen which instructed him to turn back and save his ship. There was a stampede for the wireless, but the captain an nounced that no messages would be sent for fear of betraying the ship's location. The American port which the cap tain would try to make was a matter for unlimited speculation. It was not until the passengers awoke this morn ing in sight of th<* green Maine hills that the liner's destination became certain. Proceeded Without Lights For two nisrhts, with her head and side lishts extinguished and every other illumination blotted out with canvas, the Kronprinzeasin Cecilie plunged through the fog with unre duced speed nad without sounding her fog horn. , Captain Polaclt's explanation to a delegation of passengers who protest ed against fast running under such conditions was that it was his motive to save his ship from capture, lie added that he did not consider the danger appreciable as ho was not on the usual path. The captains only concession was to sound the fog horn. When the vessel steamed safely Into Mar Harbor to-day he received a lone line of passcnuers, who congratulated him on his achievement. Captain l*o lack is a lieutenant-commander in the German naval reserves. At ft oclocls to-day the ship was waiting the arrival of hoarding officers. Anions the passengers were Con gressman A. J. Barchfeld, of Pennsyl vania; Aichard Bartholdt, of Missouri; C. I.edyard Blair, of New York; Gov ernor Charles It. Miller, of Delaware. Afraid to l/cavo Port Captain Polack said he was awaiting advices from his line oflices in New York. "I can see no possibility of takinsr this ship to New York from h»rc with safety." he said. "To avoid foreign vessels we should have to keep within the three-mile limit, and to accom plish this, the ship would have to be built like a conoe. We have reached an American port in safety and that was more than I had dared to hope. We have been in almost constant dan ger of capture, and we can consider ourselves extremely lucky to have come out so well. "I know I have been criticised for making too Kreat speed under bad weather conditions, but $ have not wilfully endangered the lives of the pasesngers. I would rather have lost the whole ship and cargo than have assumed any such risk. (If course, aside from this consideration, my own alfn has been to save my ship and my cargo from capture. "I have not been acting on my own initiative, but under orders from the North German Lloyd in Bremen, and although I am an officer in the Ger man navy, my duty has been to the steamship line." Colonel G. F. B. Cohbett, an English military officer, whose chagrin at not being able to join the army was ap parent to every one on board, was one of the few Enelish on the ship. There were a number of German officers. Oral duels and miniature international warfare in the smoking room helped to divert the minds of the passengers, who were inclined to misglvinprs. Betting Was Even To some sleep was impossible. The dark, foggy nights were long vigils until this morning's sun burned its way through the mist that has hung over the North Atlantic. The pool on the time of arrival in Plymouth was changed to gambling on the American port into which the ship would go. Last night the bet ting was even on landing on the New England coast. Governor Miller, of Delaware, be lieved Newport would be the landing place; then New York began to be a favorite. P.oston. Portland and ports as far south as Hampton Roads also figured. Meanwhile the captain shrugged his shoulders and was non committal. It took several of the ship> officers to restrain passengers from crowding into the small launches that came to the ship's side this morning. A man who managed to get a newspaper from one of the launches was all but mobbed. Colony All Astir The little village of Bar Harbor with its summer colony was all astir before its usual hour to witness the unprecedented spectacle of a big ocean liner anchored just off shore. The smokestacks, painted by the crew tho morning after the Cecilie turned on her course, led the inhabitants of the village to think that by some strange chance the Olympic had wandered into port; then word went around that it was the missing Cecilie with the fa mous cargo of gold, and curiosity be came feverish. Enterprising persons began running launches to tho ship, but none was allowed to board her. They stopped long enough, however, to shout greet ings and the latest news to those on : board.

NEW IMPLEMENTS OF WAR TO BE TESTED IN EUROPE ON OUTBREAK , ' < • , « ■ • ► * .T. > > , > ■ '. ." ■ ■ •■■.•' >V' ■ V 1"" The British suhmarine, the German dirigible balloon and the French aeroplane will be the new implements of war to be used in the great European outbreak. While these lmvo been in existence for somo years they have not been nearly tested. A few aeroplanes were used in the Balkan and Mexican wfirs, but to those peoples hardly emerged from bar barism and far behind In the march of civilization such modern implemehts of war were not understood, much leas appreciated. . . . .In the tests of airships the Germans have stuck to the dirigible balloon following the load of Count Zeppelin. The French, who "quickly took to llying after the Wright brothers had shown the way, soon distanced the world, and they have carried experiments with the aeroplane much farther than any other nation. While the German army is equipped with a number of dirigibles the French have many aeroplanes. Experiments have been made by the British with both, but the invention with which they have had the most success is the submarine. They have many in their navy.and this will of course be the opportunity for their use.

Frlendse Anxious For Tourists Relatives and friends of the many Harrisburgers who are now In the war zones of Europe are anxiously awaiting some word from London or Paris that might give them assurances that the marooned tourists are not in distress. That many of the Harrisburgers are so situated that their return will not be accomplished for weeks or perhaps months was the opinion of many. Rail road traffic for private persons has been entirely suspended in France, Germany and Austria, so those who were unable to leave before the drastic military orders went into effect will undoubtedly be forced to remain for a long time.
