THRILLING SCENES
ARE RECOUNTED!
Tourists Tell of Harrowing Sights |
Witnessed Before Leaving
Europe
(By Aesoclated Prees.)
New York, \ug. 22?The White Star
liner Bailie arrived today from Liver
pool and Queenstown with 2,120 pas
sengers and nearly 6,000 sacks of mail.
The passengers Included more than
11,500 American refugees, who reached
either Queenstown or Liverpool from
the continent after suffering many
.hardships.
Seven hundred of the 1,100 steerage
pasengers were Americans, unable to
get accomodations in the first and
.second cabins. One of the passengers
was Miss Florence Ralph, of Buffalo,
I who at the outbreak of hostilities wan
.studying music at Berlin. She heard
the emperor deliver . the speech In
which he said his sword had been
forced into his hands by Ms enemies.
As he said it, Miss Ralph declares,
j he patted the hilt of a heavy sabre
hanging at his side and tears came in
to his eyes. The Germans cheered
the emperor's speech until he told
them to go to the churches and pray.
"The day before I left Berlin, the
authorities issued orders," said Miss
Ralph, "that no parades should be al
, lowed and that any persons found
singing patriotic uong.- would be ar
rested. The idea, I understood, was
that the government wanted to im
press upon the people that it was time
! to be solemn and not to bo over-confi
dent."
I Samuel Untcmyer, the lawyer, said
j that American women, who were forc
ed to take passage in the steerage, sat
at table- sandwiched among the for
eigners of the kind usually found in
the steamship steerages. In the steer
age were 15 Americansawho had boen
arrested in Germany and Russia aa
spies.
I Dr. B. Pollock, of San Antonio,
Te\o - , was a steerage passenger. He
was In Liege August 1 and 2 and said
tic streets were filled with wounded
u. were Bitting with their
bac&B p .mist the sides of houses, ,
nnrnlTiB their wounds. He said there
oeemed to be few physicians iu the.
town. He himself dressed the wounds
of several of them. .{
The Baltic was convoyed by the
British cruiser Essex from the middle
of the Atlantic to a short distance out
Bide the three mile limit. All the
passengers praised the British gov
ernment for its efforts to ease hard
ships of stranded Americans.

the successor to Pope Pius 3f,'.\3 -
Cardinal Gibbons Bald he based his
opinion on the fact that there was i
predominance of Italian representa
tion In the sacred college. He
thought the time had not yet arrlvea
for the election to papacy of a car
dinal of any other nationality. Some
time in the future, however, ' ho
thought a cardinal of American birth
