Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the nation's President, was buried hero to-day in Myrtle Hill cemetery. Rain fell in torrents while the casket was being lowered into the grave, which is beside those of Mrs. Wilson's father and mother, almost within sight of the house in which she lived as a girl. To-night the President was speeding eastward on his return to Washington. Although thousands of visitors came to Home to-day to do honor to the mcmorj of M s. Wilson, a Sabbath-llko quiet prevailed. The special force of police .uiriui nteil by members of the CicorKla National Ouard. found little to do beyond warning traffic from tho streets through which the procession moved. It was exactly 2:00 p. tn. when the presidential special arrived and a few minutes later the casltet, covered with grey broadcloth and bearing a slnglo wreath of flowers, was lifted from the funeral tar by eight of Mrs. Wilson's cou.Ins and borne to tho hearse. As the train steamed Into the station church bells throughout the city were tolled. A wide fpnee hail been cleared about the station and the thousands of people as sembled there stood back respectfully. Thosi who bore the casket were: Kdward T Brown of Atlanta; Hobert M. Hurt. Wade C lloyt and Nathan lloyt of Rome: n r. Axson of Savannah: Ran dolph Axson and Kdward T. Brown, Jr., ind Frank O. Gcbveath of Atlanta. CIU'RCII DRAPED IN BLACK. The President, followed by Secretary nnd Mrs McAdoo, Mr. and Mrs. Sayre, Miss Wilson, Professor Axson and othor near relatives and members of the party, 'Itllckly left tho train and entered their arrlages The procession then moved through black-draped streets to the First Presbyterian Church. More than S0O relatives and friends of the Wilson and Axson families were already gathered in the little church which Mrs. Wilson used to nttend when her father, tho Rev. Edward Axson, was pastor there. The church was draped In black, with in tertwined wreaths of white flowers. On one wall was a white marble tablet to the memory of Mrs. Wilson's father. Flow ers were piled high about the catafalque. As tho President entered, following the AMERICANS ABROAD CEASE CLAMORING TO RETURN HOME MRS. PROCTOR AND DAUGHTER GIVE $4,000. Washington, Aug. 10. Among the contributions to-day to the American Red Cross in response to its appeal for funds to be used in European relief work, were checks for $2,000 each from Mrs. Redfield Proctor, widow of the late Senator Proctor of Vermont, and her daughter, Miss Emily D. Proctor. Washington, Aug. 10. Americans in Eu rope have nearly stopped clnmoring to re turn home, according to to-day's reports to the st te department from Ambassador Page at I.oldon. The ambassador cabled that wh1 e steamers sailing Saturday for the I'n'ti 1 States carried five thousand Americans since the trensurer ciulsers started across the Atlantic and banks be gan advancing cash on demand, many of those wh .t first besieged the embassy with appmlh for transportation now ex upresx willingness to remain Indefinitely. Secretary Gairlson estimated tonight that the number of Americans stranded tn Europe who really desire to returln home has dropped to thirty thousand. Mr. Garrison now doubts whether it will 10 necessary to send any vessels across to bring these people to the United States as commercial lines appear to bj aide to take care of them all. One or two ships, he thinks, may have to bo sent to some ports where Amer hecn mado to the foreign office, he said, n reford to special caws where Ameri cans have been detained on suspicion. Another source of anxiety has been ro icved by a deposit of gold In New York to cover letters of credit held by ma ooneel tourists in Switzerland. FRANCE ANNOUNCES BREAK WITH A U STRIA Paris via London. Aug. 10, S:00 p. m. It was officially announced to-night that France had broken off diplomatic rela tions with Austria-Hungary. The French ambassador at Vienna has left tho Aus trian capital and the Austro-Hungnrlan ambassador at Purls has asked for his puuporta. In announcing the breaking off of re lations with Austria, the Frem.h foreign offlco made tho following statement: "Contrary to nssurances given by Aus tria to the French minister of foreign affairs that no Austrian troops wero tak ing part In the Frnnco-Clennan war, tho French government has ascertained be TO DIVIDE $25,000 AMONG, CONSULS Rome, Aug. 11.

A simple, short service was conducted by the Rev. G. G. Snydor, the local pastor. The President, hi? daughters, Secretary McAdoo nnd Mr. Sayre occupied the front pew In tho cen ter, and back of them were other mem bers of the family, Dr. Grayson and Sec retary Tumulty. Two old hymns, girl hood favorites of Mr. Wilson, were sung by the church choir. The Rev. Dr. Sny dor then read briefly from the scriptures and spoke of the beauty and character of Mrs. Wilson's life. SCHOOL GIRLS USE STREETS. Ah soon as tho church service was ended the short journey to MyrUo Hill cemetery was begun. School girls, dressed In white and holding laurel branches, lined the streots through which the procession passed. Behind them wore thousands of peo ple, with bared heads, bowed, silent and sorrowful. The cortege was close to the ceme tery when rain began to fall. The downpour soon became, torrential. A tent erected over the grave afforded part shelter to the family group, but the thousands of people who camo to witness tho burial were without pro tection. Services at the grave were brief nnd of impressive simplicity. Tho Presi dent stood with head bowed as tho final rites were performed. As ho stood there with his daughters, Mr. Wilson made no effort to conceal his grief. PRESIDENT DEEPLY MOVED. When the hushed volco of the preacher read tho burial service the President's form was visibly shaUon by emotion and the tears streamed down his cheeks. Otiiers of tha party wept silently and softly. leans have congregated beyond the reach of neutral commercial vessels, but for tho most part the acute phaso Is believed to have passed without any real danger to citizens of this country.

Woodrow Wil son, President of the United States, was making tho saddest Journey of his life to-night. In n special train bearing the body of Mrs. Wilson to Its final resting placo beside the graves of her father and mother, he was on the way to Rome, Gn, surrounded by his daughters and a few members of his own and his wife's families. The last simple ceremony of tho funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon In the quiet wooded cemetery of the Georgia town. Then the President will turn again to the heavy burdens of offlco and the loneliness of the White House. While (lags drooped at half mast throughout the capital to-day and thou sands of men and women gathered in the wide avenue before the closeel gates of tho White House grounds, the llrst service was held over Mrs. Wilson's body in the east room. The Hags, the crowds, tho closing of the government depart ments tn the afternon and the masses of flowers which overflowed tho east room were the nations only way of ex pressing Its sympathy for Its chief !.ecu tlve in his grief. SERVICE MOST SIMPLE. In accordance with Mrs. Wilson's wish the service was of tho simplest character. There was no music, only Ape WASHINGTON 0 SO tho reading of a fow verses from thentus of every foreign ship In New York Bible, a prayer by the Rev. Sylvester Beach of the church which the Wilson family attended during their years In Princeton, N. J., and a benediction pronounced by the Rev. J. II. Taylor, at whoso church tho President has worshipped since he came to Wash ington. Less than 200 wero present. Be sides the family there were a few in timate friends, the members of tho cabinet and their wives, the commit tees from the Senate and House, head ed by the vice-president and the speaker anel tho employes of tho White House. Tho casket was borno from the White House by six members of the city pollco force who for many years have guarded the home of the presi dents. There were no honorary pall bearers. ' Few saw tho funeral party pass nn Us way to the union station, where the' train awaited it. The drive was made; over less frequented streets and only I three closed automobiles bearing tho i President nnel a dozen men, relatives or close friends of tho family, follow ed the hearse. THOUSANDS STAND IN RAIN. As tho party drew up before the street entrance of the station, a vio lent thunder shower began. Within the. station a crowd had gathered that taxed the great structure to Its lim its. Outside thousands more braved the drenching; rain to stand In silent sympathy Passing through a lano walled by humanity, the casket was carried to the waiting train. On it rested a single wreath, tho last gift of the President nnd his dnughters. Close behind walked tho President with a secret service agent beside him. Then followed his companions walking three abreast. At the train they halted, as the ensket was carried Into the car, and stood In silence afterward until tho President's three daughters nnd his sons-in-law arrived. Tho members of tho family then entered the private car In which the casket had been plnced. To night as the train sped southward they shared the sad vigil. Other members of the party rode In special cars, and n baggage car carried part of tho hun dreds of flornl pieces. Among tho flowers at the White House wero many elaborate designs. Washing ton florists were called upon as never before. Orders came by cable and tele graph from every part of the worlel. Scarcely a capital of the world or a city of the United Stntes was unrepre sented. A great blanket of orchids sent by the Democratic clubs of Baltimore was carried by six men. Only a small part of the flowers could bo sent with the train and the remainder will go to the hospitals of the city, as Mrs. Wil son's last gift to tho sick and suffer ing.

While incoming ocean liners to-day brought confirmation that foreign warships aro cruising off the American Atlantic coast, strict censor ship over the cables leading nut of Ber muda perhnps kept hidden from public knowledge here tho fate of the North German Lloyd vessel Kronprlnz Wllhelm, which took six thousand tons of coal out of this port under cover of darkness last week before tho battleship Florida began its enforcement of the neutrality laws. Tho British cruiser Essex has the Ger man liner under capture and Is taking her, n prize of war. Into Ilnmllton, Ber muda, according to wireless messages de clared to have been overheard at sea. The Associated Press correspondent at Ber muda Indicated In a cryptic despatch that ho had Information which he had not been allowed to communicate by cable. This message came in response to one Inform ing the correspondent of the reported capture of the Kronprlnz Wllhelm. Stronger enforcement of the neutrality laws was inaugurated by the port author ities to-day almost simultaneously with Hie arrival of the Atlantic transport liner Minnetonka with the story that a warship, nationality not learned, had pur sued her during the closing hours of her I voynge to American waters. An em bargo was placed on the wireless appnr- harbor. This step was taken after the authorities began to suspect that for- , elgn cruisers nt sea might be communi cating with ships of their nationality in port. MINNETONKA FLED WARSHIP. The chase of the Minnetonka ended early to-day after the ship steamed hVo the three mile neutrality zone of tho vicinity of Nantucket. Three days out from Liverpool the Minnetonka, flying a British flag, was informed by wire less from tho White Star liner Oceanic on her way to England that a state of war existed. L.nt night the Minnetonka refused to disclose by wireless her Iden tity to a warship which asked It. With her portholes blanketed anel electilc wires to every stateroom cut, the Min netonka speel through the fog, and a few hours later lost sight of her pursuer's searchlight. Thousands of German and Austrian reservists remain stranded here, un able to find means of transportation bomewnrd. Tho Holland-American lino steamship Rotterdam, said to havn on board many Dutch reservists. Is ex pected to sail to-mor-ow for Amster dam. Tho Lloyd Itnllano Slenmshlp company nnnounced that its ship Cas erta would sail Thursday for Italian ports carrying reservists of any na tionality who npply. Tho Lamport & Holt line announced resumption of sailings of Its ships to Brazil nnd Ar gentine ports, beginning Thursday.

While 60 miles off Sandy Hook late yesterday the British tank steamer Wapello which arrived here to-day sighted the Olympic of the White Star line, which left New York yesterday without passenger nnd apparently head ed for England, From the course the Olympic wns following, the captain of the Wapello reported, she seemed to be making toward Halifax, where several of the White Star fleet have put In re cently. Officers of the line denied that the Olympic wns going to Halifax, There is now in this harbor one of the largest loaded oil tank fleets over as sembled here, Thoy stretch from Tomp klnsvllle out to quarantine nnd an Brit ish and German ships for the moat part.

New York, Aug. 11. War prices aro be ginning to prevail throughout tho com modity markets of the United States. Whether tho European conflict has any actual bearing or not, quotations are be ing advanced, nnd, nlthough tho changes have so far been confined mostly to wholesale transactions, It promises to bo only a few days beforo retail prices aro raised all along tho line, Men's hats will go up from 15 to 20 per cent, within another month, It wns said yesterday. Austria, Germany nnd England are the largest foreign produc ers, and their supply has already been cut off, American manufacturers are handicapped by the fact that the neces sary dyes are not made In this country. Toothbrushes and hairbrushes will so6n rise sharply. Tho chief source of sup ply of their bristles Is Russia, which Is absolutely Isolated as far as com meicial communication with this coun try Is concerned. Notions, ranging from hooks nnd eyes to hair nets, which arc manufactured In Immense quantities In Germany, are coming In no more. The stocks here have been bought up, and on some Items prices wero advanced 100 per cent, yes terday. Dress goods are quoted throughout the lountry as "subject to chango In price without notice-." Tho Importation of gowns hns stopped, and It was said upon authority yesterday that only 14 Paris models were on their way here. Most New York stores have begun to an nounce "American styles." Shirtings, of tho quality used In $1.2.') and J1.50 garments, will go up 25 per cent, this week. Last year about ', (WOO worth of material for shirts was Imported. This year home-produced ma terials will have to be used. Dyestuffs, which are lmportnnt In this situation, are going up steadily. Prices Jumped 1C0 per cent, over Sunday, nnd promise to keep up, despite the com plaint of purchasers thSt: manufacturers are taking advantage of the situation. Amerlcnn chemists are expected to de velop a new line of endeavor, although moit bases used in making dyes come fiom abroad. No public sale? of ostrich feathers were made yesterdny, for the first time In a generation. Suspension of shipping wns responsible-, nnd It Is probable that before maritime conditions are remedied prices will be materially advanced. AUTOMOBILE TIRES JUMP flo PER CENT. Hamburg nnd Liverpool being the prin cipal ports in shipping crude rubber, ruhber goods are going up. On certain classes of automobile tires quotations were advanced 60 per cent, yesterday. The stock In this country, it wns said, Is only sufficient to supply factories a fortnight. Nobody would venture nn opinion yes terday as to the future of the fur mar ket. Lelpsic is the world's most impor tant fur market, nnd Is Just now about as far out of the way ns a city could be. Glove manufacturers were llterallv swnmped with orders yesterday from re tall merchants all over the country in the evident expectntlon that importa tions could not be resumed in time for the fall and winter trade. Cigarette tobacco, especially that used in Turkish anel Egyptian clgnrettes, is incoming scarce. It Is carried almost exclusively by Austrian ships, which hnve been withdrawn. Advances In price, however, are believed to be some dis tance in t'-o future'. Enough Sumatra tobacco Is In stock in this country to keep cigar manufacturers supplied for a year. It was said yester day. Clear bands, however, hnve gone to a premium, being mostly lithographed in Germany. New York lithographers plan to meet this demand. Tobacco Importers heard yesterday that IO.ipOO clgarmakers In Havana have been thrown out of work through the closing of factories that supplied Ger man and English trade. Potteries are being shut down in the East Liverpool, Ohio, district, and while the plants at Trenton hnve not yet been affected, It Is probable that within an other fortnight 5HO.600 persons will, Indi rectly or directly, be Involved in sus pensions. In tho dry goods, linen and woolen trades conditions have been kept nor mal so far. Expectations of advances were very general last week. Yesterday they seemed to have been discounted, although no one can say when n crisis may develop. Imported whiskeys and liqueurs nre skyrocketing. Cordials went up 25 cents a bottle yesterday, while Scotch whis key went up 20 cents. "Two for n quar ter" Is quoted over almost no bar. Ger man and Bohemlnn beer, It proves, is here In greater quantity than hnd beer, reported. .lust the same, Its price will either go up or deeper collars will be come the fashion. Tho latter are already appearing. Champagnes from foreign vineyards have gone up $6 a cafe since last week. Domestic champagnes havo not yet como Into appreciably grenter demand. Toys, of which tbe bulk come from Germany nnd Switzerland, nro likely to cost three or four times as much ns they do now before Chrlstmns. Even if traffic with Europe should be restored within another month, It Is said produc tion has been so eurtnlleid that the effect will bo apparent for a long time. MEAT, TEA AND BUTTER JOIN UP WARD RUSH, Meat kept on Its upward way yester dny. Shipments from Argentina aro ex pected to reach larger proportions than ever next week, but no one will venture to sny that this will mako any difference to the consumer, No. 1 ribs and loins of beef wero quoted nt 20c, No. 2 at IS l-2c. and No, 3 at 15c.
