SITUATION aOT 16
BID IS PAINTED
i
[Continued from First Page.]
it will be noted that there is a pre
diction that the war will not last long.
The situation in regard to trade con
ditions in this country is viewed opti
mistically by Mr. Watt, whose account
of his experiences follows:
By G. F. WATT
General Manager, Elliott-Fisher Type
writer Works
Fortunately I had completed my
visit to the Scandinavian countries,
Holland, Germany. Austria and Swit
zerland and reached Paris on the 25th
of July. Early In the following week
rumors of the mobilization of the Ger
man army were followed by evidences
of French preparations.
My Itinerary planned for me to
leave Paris on the 2d of August for
Liege, but fortunately on Friday
morning I was given advance infor
mation that the German steamer Im
perator would not sail the following
day, and I made hasty preparations
for getting to London. The large
hotels, which were filled with Ameri
cans, were emptied in three days. We
got away on the last train that carried
baggage, being the first train to leave
Paris Saturday morning.
Lack of Gold Causes Sut'erhig
In two days' time all French gold
and silver disappeared from circu
lation, and that was what caused most
of the suffering among Americans and
other foreigners on the continent. On I
Friday night restaurant keepers re- |
fused to serve an> guests before they
ascertained that If was possible for the
guests to pay in approximately the
exact change the amount of food they
were going to order. The railroads
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
would not even make change of the
Bank of France notes for tickets or
the registration of baggage, but they
eagerly accepted British gold, which I
shall never want to bo without again
when traveling anywhere in the world.
England was very kind to Ameri
cans. In London the hotels took in
strangers with no money and without
baggage. giving them the best rooms
and fare.
Pathetic Sights in London
It was a most pathetic sight In
London the tirst few days of the
month of August. War was declared
on Saturday. August 1, the bank holi
day fell on Monday, the 3d. and Lon
don was emptied of its citizens, but
every train coming brought thousands
of American refugoos from the conti
nent. The banks did not open, and
the express companies, of course,
could not obtain money to redeem
their travelers' checks. The serious
ness of the situation Justified the ex
tension of the bank holiday for three
more days, and while the American
Express Company In London paid out
what money.it had It was unable to
satisfy the demand until Friday.
I cannot speak too highly of the
treatment accorded Americans by the
American Express Company both in
Paris and In London. Every courtesy
was shown, and until the Ist of Au
gust they were cashing travelers'
checks issued by other companies.
They did n great deal more than the
United States government did to re
lieve the situation. This company Is
a wonderful concern and has done
more for American trade abroad than
anv one other American institution.
Form American Relief Committee
An American relief committee was
formed on Sunday, the second of Au
gust. Mr. Theodore Hetzler was made
President, Mr. Kent of the Guarantee
Trust Company, vice-president, and
William C. Breed, treasurer. Quar
ters were given in the white room of
the Savoy Hotel, and that became the
storm center of the American tourists.
The destitute condition of American
tourists still in Europe has been great
ly exaggerated. The majority were
not seeking financial assistance, but
rather an opportunity to get a book
ing for an early sailing home. I could
not feel as much sympathy for the
wealthy Americans as with the army
of school teachers who appeared to be
perfectly helpless. They stood in the
rear of the crowds assembled at the
booking offices asking questions of
every well dressed American who
came their way, but they were not able
to get early passage.
Slept on Deck
i We. came over on the Amerlccn line
; steamer St. Louis, our regular reser
, vattons home having been conceited by
, the British government taking over
the vessel for which we were booked.
We were on the main, or lowest deck,
i and there were three other men in the
. cabin with me and two ladles in a
cabin with Mrs. Watt. The coal, which
the company was able to procure, was
of such poor quality that it required
the utmost effort to provide sufficient
: steam to make eighteen knots an
hour with a twenty knot boat. The
[ ventilating system on the boat was
bad, and, therefore, the thermome
ter registered around 100 degrees in
the lower deck cabins, which made
it impossible to stay in them. We
i were allowed to sleep on the deck and
the officers permitted second cabin
passengers to bring their mattresses
and bedding from their cabins onto
the deck, an unheard of proceeding
In ordinary circumstances.
Americans Panicky
I see the New York papers are full
of criticisms made by people who were
unable to get every creature comfort,
and I want to say that I was heartily
' ashamed of many of my fellow coun
trymen for the way they acted In
. Europe, becoming more panicky even
i than the French people themselves,
| and on the steamers acting wholly
without any reason. When a person
buys second cabin passage he cannot
expert Hotel Knlckerbacker service,
and those who bought third class pas
sage and came home In the steerage
knew beforehand what they were go
ing up against; they had been told
that they would have clean bedding
but that the regular food would be
what was always served and that
they could expect nothing else. A
committee on our steamer tried to In
duce the captain to divide the menu
of the second cabin with the third
cabin, but he soon proved that was
Impracticable trom the physical stand
point of service. The ball room on
the boat was turned over by the cap
tain to the ladles and children of the
third class, and this was tilled with
steamer chairs given up by cabin pas
sengers. The women and children
slept there from tho second night out.
The food was as good as one could
expect for the price paid, and It was
ample for all, The last dinner served
on Saturday night was much better
than some of those served In tho earl- 1
ior days of the passage.
Caution Against Steerage
The Americans remaining in Europe
should be cautioned that none, but the
sturdiest and hardiest can stand the
rigors of a third-class passage home.
of course, one heard more favor
able news from the side of tho allies
in Paris and London 'than for the
Germans and Austrlans. Predictions
can be freely made that tho war will
not last a great length of time. Any
man who has had to do with a com
missary department of our militia or
army will vouch for the statement
that neither side can for a long period
provide sufficient food for such mon
strous aggregations of fighting men.
In the early days of the month we!
read of German troubles at Liege |
where the soldiers were footsore from |
the new boots they wore, and had no
food. Men who claim to know say
that this will cause one or both sides!
to welcome the signing of peace be
fore Christmas.
The Business Situation
In the meantime business men In
the United States are getting over the
first shock and aro settling down to
prepare for what is sure to become a
prosperous period for America. A
well-known English manufacturer
said tn be In London a few days before
I sailed that they realized they had
a tough job ahead of them, that they
were going at it with a determination
to see it through, and then coinpll- ■
mented our country on the great op
portunity for prosperity that must of
necessity force Itself upon us. All of
the South American and Oriental
trade, which has been English, Ger
man and French, will now come to us
as a matter of course. The financial
situation in America is sound, and
while the prospective profits, which '
will accrue to this country from this
unfortunate turmoil, should not be re
garded as a selfish profit which we will
make by taking advantage of our
neighbor's necessity, It will offset the
great commercial losses that foreign
wars are bound ,to cause in this coun
try.
Our manufacturers, jobbers and Im
porters will all feel the burden of the
war, and this country will. Indeed, bo
fortunate If the additional profits,
realized by the producer of foodstuffs
and the necessities of the fighting
countries, offset other unavoidable
losses. Our business world has been
fortifying Itself against the posalbili.
ties of the new tariff schedule, un
favorable Congressional action, the
danger of late crop failures, the pos
sibility of railway strikes and the
Mexican menace in the southwest, and
thus having prepared for a shock, the
business situation in this country must
continue on a sound basis. Our own
company must temporarily provide
against the loss of all of its foretgn
business, which was between twenty
and twenty-five per cent, of the whole.
This reduction, however, will only be
[ temporary.
HOME FROM SEAT OF
WAR JUST IN TIME
[Continued From First l*aj*e]
Is being persuaded that the defendant
really was or was not—those tales
should get a little vacation some of
the time during the September and
October terms of criminal and com
mon pleas courts.
Stories of the European war, and
actual experiences at that, will be on
tap.
At least that was the prediction to
day when the Jury Commissioners and
Sheriff H. C. Wells drew from the
jury wheel the names of Peter Van
derloo and H. Brooke Spahr for Fall
service. Both have Just recently re
turned from the most turbulent sec
tions of Germany and France and
Austria after summer tours of the
continent. They got in Just In time to
serve their own country as Jurors.

eler who has come to Paris from
Charlerol witnessed part of the fight
ing at that place. He has related his
experiences to a reporter of the Petit
Parislen as follows:
"I wus at Foreux. fifteen miles from
Erquellnes. This region is covered
with a thick growth of trees. From
where I was stationed I Cotild see the
passing for hours of column after
column of German Infantry. They
were subjected to a veritable hurri
cane of Iron from the French artillery
and they went down by the dozen.
Nevertheless more came forward to
take the places of the slain.
' At Solerl-le-Chauteau I saw a Ger
man aeroplane brought down by a
well-directed shot and I wag told that
another such machine bad met the
same fate at Nerlea." <
