ENGLAND APPEARS Soldiers Are in Every London Square and Notices for More. SOLID SOBER BRITISH ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS Boys Trying to Join Army Are Told - to Get Parents' Con sent First. *orre?j?ondenee of The Star. LONDON, August 8.?I have never seen such c rowds and such activity In London streets its now. Enthusiasm, eagerness to enlist, offers of private help to the government, cheerfulness in the facc of sacrifices and new burdens and conditions reach the hierhest pitch known in Eng land since Napoleon's days.- The hub bub of the Boer war was small in com parison with today's evidences of a na tion's solidarity and devotion. Best of all there is absolutely no mafficking, no Jingoism, but calm, sober-eyed, hard working enthusiasm. All England is an armed camp, sol diers are in every London square and thousands of territorials and volunteers ? re gathering every hour. Churches, public buildings and boardings are placarded with orders calling out reserv ists. territorials and volunteers. Already the expeditionary force has begun to em bark for Belgium to help relieve that brave little country in its plucky fight ? gainst the Germans, and battles are re ported on the North sea. Strict censorship prevails and only a modicum ot' the news is really known. In every cable office sit leisurely gentle men, arms, hands and eyes bound with war office red tape, who pass judgment on every message that comes oi* goes, and It is becoming almost impossible to pursue the business of a news gatherer under the irksome conditions. Messages, harmless chronicles from America, take from live to ten hours in delivery. They arrive in good time over the eables and are immediately handed on to the censors, who calmly and with out the least knowledge or appreciation of how least count in newspaper work allow them to accumulate. Thursday' night four words announcing the death ot Mrs. Wilson took five hours and ten minutes to get by these leisurelv "work ers." Forbid Registered Addresses. Not only have all codes been stopped, but the use of registered addresses known to cable companies and the commercial world for many years is forbidden. All receivers of messages from America and elsewhere must be addressed in their full names with the number and street of their ofiice, while senders must sign their full name. too. All this makes for delay and confusion, but I understand that it has been ordered for fear that Germans might learn of Engflsh move ments by news of code addresses alone. Of course, the text of the message is censored, chopped up or altered, but no one in his senses thinks of cabling any Information that is not likely to pass. We pll recognise that censorship is neces sary and we are all loyally striving to do what is asked and to help in every way possible this country where we live, but it does seem a pity that men who have a little sympathy and appreciation' of newspaper work could not have been appointed to look after press matter. We have been without money, with prices of food rising for the past week. Banks reopened yesterday, but there was little rush for money. The new paper rotes for one pound and ten shillings are crude. but were got out in a hurry and mmy be improved. Everybody is cheer ful and is accepting the new situation splendidly. A few tempers here and there show s!gns of wear. But the streets?the streets are crowded nil the time, very different from the usual \ugust London. Thousands of rapid motors of all description are dashing * bout at full speed, soldiers marching, drilling, food and store wagons rattling along, hundreds of commandeered horses being led through the streets and the sidewalks jammed with people at all hours. Hotels are full, packed with Vmericans and others stranded here and most mightily g!ad to get to England after highly exciting experiences. But with all the crowds and natural excitement the war fever has not got' bold of Ix>ndon and in the present spirit I do not think it will. Demonstration in London. T remember too vividly the scenes, the tumult and the shouting in those maf ficking days of the Boer war, when pa triotic Nation degenerated into hysterical ngoism, to welcome a return of that sort of thing. But I liked the spirit of the Anglo-French crowd in Piccadilly cir cus at midnight the other night. rt had started at the closing time in the f'afe Royal, which had sent thirty-one of its thirty-five rooks and several of its waiters to join the colors in Prance. Some on?% stood on a table and shouted "Vive la Prance!" In a second every one was standing, waving hats in the air and cheerinsr. A voiceless Irishman began "La MarseiltfaJse," and after several ef forts the crowd, not knowing the words, took it up. Then came "God Save the King" and "Rule Britannia," and the whole company marched out Into Regent street, inflamed with the good wine of enthusiasm?for France and the entente. By the time they reached Piccadilly cir cus they formed the nucleus of a demon strating crowd, some 2,000 strong, and stood for over an hour cheering, and cheering every soldier in uniform who came among them, and roaring with de light when a huge union jack was un furled on the roof of the Criterion. It took an omnibus nearly ten minutes to cross from Regent street to the Hay market, and pedestrians took penny trips across. obtaining a grandstand view of the demonstration. As I stood watching and listening I felt my hand seized and vigorously Shaken. # "Good-bye, sir," said a voice. It be Eyes Trouble You? TRY THIS SIMPLE RECEIPT.

There was an earnestness about the lad that made my throat feel lumpy. He was not vainglorious or cock-a-hoop, but Just quietly confident. Vivacious scenes are taking place in the official quarter around the Horse Guards and Palace yard. So compact was the crowd at the end of Downing street when the cabinet meeting was In progress dur ing the first momentous days that it wae difficult for ministers* motor cars to ob tain a passage. Hawkers did a roaring trade in miniature British and French flags. Quickened Interest. The coming and going of ministers, dip lomats and high state officials of grave mien quickened interest. While the coun cil was in progress the Belgian minister visited the foreign office. Nobody in the crowd quite guessed at the moment how solemn was liis errand. When the cabinet broke up ministers made use of the passage leading to the Horse Guards' parade and escaped the no tice of the crowd. Some of them, how ever. had to run the gantlet of cheering thousands on their way to the house of commons later in the afternoon, notably Mr. Churchill. The first lord, smoking a big cigar, walked down Whitehall in the company of F. E. Smith. Immediately they were surrounded by the cheering crowd. Mr. Churchill acknowledged the ovation by repeatedly doffing his hat. The demonstration was prolonged until he disappeared through the private entrance reserved for ministers within Palace yard. It was an inspiring incident and obvi ously gratifying to the statesman who has given silent and tireless attention . to Britain's first arm, now, judged by all portents, about to be tested In the cause of freedom and Justice. Shortly after ward Lloyd George. Herbert Samuel, Mr. Illingworth, the chief ministerial whip, and the lord chief justice drove down to the house. They were recognized by the crowd and acclaimed with the same eager zest as had been shown toward the first lord. Similar scenes were witnessed later in the day. when the house of com mons adjourned for a few hours. Mr. Churchill was again an object of popular i enthusiasm. No Hostility Shown. I Tnside Charing Cross station one came 'in more intimate touch with the realities of events on the continent. The platform was packed with Frenchmen and Ger mans recalled to the colors. Most of them were youths in the early twenties. The conscripts stood about in groups eagerly reading the war editions and discussing the chances of getting through to their regiments in the dislocated condition of the continental railways. The Germans were bound for Gravesend to join a steamer there. The Frenchman were traveling via Ca lais. and read with obvious concern the typewritten and telegraphic notices posted by the railway company describing the disorganized state of traffic in the north of France Though their countries are at war and in a few days they may be i blazing at one another on the frontier, there was no open display of Franco German hostility among the young sol diers. They appeared to be facing the call of duty with calm fortitude. How many of them, one wondered, will see London again? One of the great reception halls at the Savoy Hotel has been turned into the stranded American visitors' ark of refuge, and there all day long they hold what ap pear to be very pleasant receptions, greet ing long-absent friends and exchanging exciting stories. They were wretched in the days when they feared that for all their credit they could get no cash, but arrangements have been made now, and they have casli enough to go on with, while they are being shipped across home as quickly as possible. Two girls who confessed that they were "scared stiff of England" are. going home as steerage passengers, though 1 they came first-class. Lots of their . friends are doing the same, finding some consolation in the thought that no eml- ! grants will share their accommodation. Many of the stranded are professional women, chiefly teachers, many are col lege youths and numbers are wealthy women with a fine taste in hats. 'These last have had their faith in the power of money severely shaken in their flight from Europe. Capture Deserters. Two pretty girls told an exciting story 1 of their hasty rush from Austria, the wild scramble to get seats in the crowd ed trains, the long hours of starvation, the search through the carriages at the frontier, where the authorities pounced on two deserters, one of them the father of eight children, and dragged them away to be shot at sunrise. In such a panic it seemed a light thing to leave every scrap of luggage be hind, but it was another thing to ar rive in England penniless and with noth ing but the clothes they wore. People have been very kind to them here, say all the Americans gratefully. They just love England, but they long to set their heels into the states again. There have been many "last boats" on the Osterid route, but the train that reached Charing Cross Thursday night about half past eleven had every ap pearance of the last, it was over an hour late from Folkestone. The people showed many signs of a long and trying journey. There were several parties from Germany. One was of Americans, two women and a man. They told me that they had come from the Black Forest, and had been on the way for four days. They had had to come out of the train several times, and once had to walk be tween stations, but they had had noth ing to complain of in the circumstances. They had seen no demonstrations against English people. An English party had had a harder time, and one of them had been arrested and released. All the passengers on the ship had been on board, then turned off with the news that the ship was not going, then on again. The boat was crammed to the bow. and thirty or forty pa'jsengers were said to have been left on the quay. There was intense anxiety, as every one believed it to be the last boat. The voyage across was an awful experience to many who, having no news, believed the channel to be sown with mines and a sea fight in being. No one knew what horrors were hidden In the darkness on the face of the wa ters. One passenger described to me how he saw part of the British 8? near that he could discern the number or a submarine (which he gave me), and they reached England in a warmer mood. At Charing Cross one foi etjrner?broke down, and a porter tried to comfort her and kept on saying: "You're quite safe, ma am. this to E?g land?England, you know, ma am. and although she did not know Qigltoh she seemed to understand. There were many A^mTricans and a large partyofjapanese and twenty Irish nuns who had been at a convent In Belgium. A round of the various barracks and recruiting depots in London reveals more SS1 the* usual crop of dlsappolnUnenta for would-be soldiers. The reasons for re jection are many and varied. Defective teeth is a common thing. It is no UBe trt'inr thft inspecting doctors with the time worked Joke about not being wanted to eat the Germans. False teeth are passed without trouble, but men with signs 3f decay In their natural teeth are told to "stand aside." Eye troubles, deafness and defective reeplratlon are also the cause of many rejections. Boys Try to Join. The greatest difficulty for the officers la with the large numbers of lads who are eager to enlist, and persist In declaring that they are of legal age, when It only requires a casual glance to show the contrary. "Run home, sonny, and get your moth er's consent," is the reply to these young sons of Mars. It Is not too kindly re ceived. and one lad today offered to back his opinion that he was a better man than the scornful sergeant in the good old way. A couple of military police bore him oft loudly protesting. Foreigners present another difficulty. Legally they are free to Join the army In ordinary times, though the number per regiment to strictly limited, about 1 per cent. I think. In a time like the present the officials are loth to engage alien* without the sanction of the war office, and advioe to being sought. The appli cants are mainly Italians, with a tew Germans. Ia H.

SAYS WAR DECLARATION WAS BLOW TO GERMANS Tourist Witnesses Strange Scene in Berlin?Stories of Returned Americans. NEW* YORK. August. 19.?E. * Treat, a banker of Wheatsport, N. Y., with his wife, was among the' passengers on the steamer United States, in yes terday from Copenhagen, who were glad to escape from the war zone, even though steerage accommodations were the best they could get. Mr. Treat was in Berlin the day after the emperor addressed the populace from the palace, and said that he had heard the imperial chancellor talk to thousands who were gathered in the streets. "The Germans," said Mr. Treat, "did not want war. "As the chancellor talked ^ tears streamed from their faces. No one cheered or applauded his remarks. The final declaration of war was a blow to the people." C&lifornian Loses Belongings. F. W. Blanchard, a city official of Los Angeles, also returned in the steerage of the United States. Mr. Blanchard was on his way to St. Pe tersburg when war was declared, and was turned back at the border. He lost all his belongings. "On my way to Denmark I saw the Germans treat inoffensive Russians most inhumanely," he declared. "Rus sians were kicked about the streets like foot balls, women and children included. Americans, however, were not maltreated as far as I know." William E. Thomas of Boston said hundreds of Americans were in Chris tlania waiting and that many of them had no money. The war jumped prices, he said, and potatoes rose from $l.r>0 to $8 a bushel. All lights were out on the Danish and Swedish coasts, and when the liner left Copenhagen the military temporarily removed mines in the fairway. Policeman Rescues Miss Anderson. Miss Adele Anderson of New York says she was in Berlin July **1, wedged among the frantic crowds in the streets. Her clothes were torn and her feet trod upon before she was res cued by a policeman. "I tried to get aboard the last train from" Berlin to Lybeck," said Miss An derson. "but could not even reach the platform. Next day I hired an auto mobile, had my trunk lashed to it and covered both with a big American flag, which won courtesy along the roads." Miss Anderson got to Lubeck and caught a small steamship for Copen hagen. FEAR FOR FRENCH CHILDREN. Many Domiciled in Germany to Study Language at Outbreak of War. PARIS, August 19.?The American em bassy is receiving many inquiries daily from members of the French nobility as to the fate of their children, who, at the outbreak of the war, were domiciled in German homes, there to leaiyi the lan guage. Up to the present time it has not been possible for the embassy to ob tain Information in these cases, and there is much alarm. French families are awaiting advice concerning the disposition of German children in their care for similar educa tional purposes.

WILKIE DESCRIBES CONDITIONS ABROAD Much Suffering in Evidence, Declares Former Chief of U. S. Secret Service. ESTIMATES THERE ARE 30,000 NOW MAROONED Says Consular Service Hose to Emer gency?Liner Laconia Dis guised for Trip Over. John E. Wilkie of Chicago, former chief i of the secret service and supervising agent of customs of the Treasury, was at the White House and State Depart ment yesterday, having reached New| York from abroad Monday on the steam ship Laconia. He talked with State De partment officials about relief for a num ber of friends who are marooned abroad and cannot pet home, and also about matters of a business nature. To a Star reporter at the White House Mr. Wilkie talked interestingly of the experiences of Americans abroad from the beginning of the European war. "Undoubtedly there will be a great deal! of suffering: and mental anguish on the part of Americans who are marooned on the continent and who are cut off from all communication with their friends at home." said Mr. Wilkfp. "The number! of these embarrassed Americans is im-| possible to ascertain with exactness, but the estimates by American consular offi ces and steamship agents indicated that there were about 40.000 Americans on the continent at the time Austria declared war on Servia. Events moved so quickly following that declaration that only a comparatively few of these were able to take advantage of the crippled trans portation facilities available to the public, each of the European governments hav ing commandeered the railway and water transportation for mobilization of troops. ; It is therefore believed that approxi mately 30,000 will form the army which will have to be fed and financed by As sistant Secretary Breckinridge, who is in immediate charge of the relief measures instituted by the administration. There | are hundreds of instances of acute per I sonal suffering, particularly on the part 1 of women traveling alone. Deprived of their baggage, and with letters of credit and money orders which would not be accepted either for food, lodging or trans portation, they wandered about the streets seeking interpreters who might direct them to a friendly consul. Consular Service Gave Aid. "Our consular service, with restricted resources, * rose to the emergency and, while unable to give complete relief in every instance, was able to make tempo rary arrangements for at least shelter and food. As an instance of the relief measures which were adopted, our con sul at Antwerp, Henry W. Diederich, divided his household food supplies with a number of American girl students and others who had called upon Mrs. Dieder ich in their extremities. He did this in spite of the fact that local merchants had already begun to curtail their sales be cause of failing supplies. "In London the panic was acute for the period covered by the Ave bank holi days, and as the declaration of war by England came in the midst of this holi day period the public, both English and American, found It impossible to take a normal view of the situation, result ing in the doing of extraordinary things in an effort to obtain money, transporta tion and food. Ship sailings which had been announced for weeks, with passen ger lists filled to the limit, were can celed, one after the other, without notice and, in many instances, passengers were driven from the ships upon which they had embarked for actual sailing. Added to this uncertainty were the alarming reports of the activities of German cruis- j ers along the westbound steamship lanes, and color was gii'en to these reports j by the dispatches from America de- j scribing the experiences of the Lusitania, | which had taken refuge in Halifax. One ; result of this condition was to cause the cancellation of individual tickets by pas sengers who had transportation but were afraid to use it. One who walked through Trafalgar square and Cockspur street, in ^London, during any one of the bank holi days saw pathetic incidents which were particularly appealing and for which no-! body was able to offer a remedy. There I also were amusing incidents. There was | one party of twenty-seven Americans Stomachs Kept Doctor Busy "An old-fashioned doctor, a number of years ago, told us stomachs kept him busy. And he argued that a more conscientious care of the stomach would practically put his profession out of commission."?National Food Journal, June, 1914. It was a new process of milling that had considerable to do with keeping this old doctor on die jump. This process?which made flour look white and pretty?unfortunately removed nearly all of the really vital mineral elements of the wheat?the invaluable phosphate of pot ash, etc. This kind of milling has now become almost universal. Think what it means to deprive the system of these elements which are necessary for its daily rebuilding ? Grape-Nuts ?a delicious food made of wheat and barley, contains all the nutriment of the grains, including their mineral ele ments. Many forms of stomach trouble are due to a lack of these elements in daily food; and a regular ration of Grape-Nuts and cream along with other food is admirable to set one right. "There's a Reason" I whose combined potential financial re sources would run into the millions, but the only money in the .crowd consisted of three English sovereigns and a hand ful of small coin. After satisfying them selves that the Cecil Hotel would take care of them Indefinitely they proceeded en masse to an American bar and traded In their entire capital for liquid reminis cences or home. Ship Disguised With Paint. "I was fortunate enough to obtain first cabin accommodations for Dr. T. L. Mc Donald and myself on the Laconla, whose sailing was scheduled for August 8. but was not guaranteed by the steam ship company, most of the big boats of which had been commandeered and trans formed into cruisers and transports. The captain disguised his ship as a Scandi navian-American liner by repeating her upper works and funnels, and took a northerly course, even farther to the north t&an the short course which is fol lowed after the danger of ice has dis appeared. "There was more Information 'that wasn't so,' flying about the ship, than would stock a modern sea story. Ger man cruisers were discovered In the dis tance and the thrill was only modified by the fact that- English cruisers and scouts, were within touch of the Laconia during the entire passage. Nevertheless the most elaborate precautions were taken by the captain of the ship. The port and starboard lights were the only indications to approaching ships that there was a vessel afloat. Every other illumination on ship had been blanketed. Passengers familiar with transatlantic travel were uncomfortable only during twenty-four hours of thick .fog. during which the steamer remained practically motionless, without sounding its fog horn. The physical discomforts of the trip were accepted philosophically by everybody, and it was a happy crowd that landed In New York." CALLS FOB 600.000 KOBE MEN All Germani, 39 to 45.
