«
First of Two Edicts
Only Conforms to
International Law
BULLETIN.
The neutrality of the United
States was officially pro
claimed this afternoon by
President Roosevelt. The
proclamation became effec
tive after Secretary of State
Hull countersigned it and af
fixed' the official seal. The
4,000-word document estab
lished an extensive list of
regulations designed to keep
Americans from projecting
the United States into the
European war.
The first step in proclaiming the
neutrality of the United States in
the new European war was taken at
the White House at 1 o’clock this
afternoon when President Roosevelt
signed the first of two neutrality
proclamations.
The first is the general declara
tion of neutrality based on interna
tional law, but Stephen T. Early,
White House secretary, announced it
will not take effect until Secretary
of State Hull has time to counter
sign. attach the official seal and
proclaim it. These finishing touches
are expected momentarily.
The President affixed his signa
ture in the presence of Secretary
Hull, Acting Attorney General Jack
son, Undersecretary of State Welles,
Assistant Secretary of State A. A.
Berle and Mr. Early, in the Presi
dent’s study in the Executive Man
sion.
The text of this general procla
mation will not be given out, how
ever, until Secretary Hull has pro
claimed it from the State Depart
ment.
i «nry uu Arms cmuargo.
Mr. Early also announced that the
same group of officials will return
to the White House at 4:30 pm. for
a consultation with the President
on final details of the second procla
mation, which will list in detail the
arms and implements of war on
which an embargo thereafter will
be placed.
This will mean that shipment of
any of the listed armaments from
this country either to a belligerent
or to a neutral country for trans
shipment to a belligerent thereafter
will be prohibited.
Before the President signed the
proclamation he had conferred with
Acting Attorney General Jackson
on the legal angles involved.
Mr. Early at that time told re
porters:
“The one thing that the President
probably is most concerned about
at the present time is the .devising
of means to keep war from our
shores and our waters.”
In this connection, Mr. Early
pointed out that this Government
has a number of responsibilities in
seeking to adhere to that purpose,
such as the Panama Canal and the
Virgin Islands. In response to ques
tions he said there is no official in
formation here on reports of Ger
man submarines in the Caribbean
S6&.
Travel Virtually Halted.
It was recalled today, however,
that, while America was still a neu
tral in the last war, the German
submarine Deutschland crossed the
ocean, put into Baltimore Harbor
and remained there for a brief stop
over before returning home.
The State Department already
has virtually halted travel of Amer
ican citizens to Europe.
Only “imperative necessity” here
after will permit citizens to make
the eastward Atlantic voyage.

Great Britain's first major

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Wall Street
experienced one of the most spec
tacular upsurges in prices of stocks

day, as resumption of trading after
the holiday found a feverish urge to
buy in expectation of "war” prices.
Stocks, particularly steels, non
ferrous metals, oils, chemicals and
machinery makers. Jumped $1 to
around $15 a share.
Wheat again bounded the limit
permitted in a day’s trading of 5
cents a bushel at Chicago, Winnipeg
and Minneapolis, and raw materials
generally surged upward, both food
and industrial.
Buying orders appeared at the
opening of the exchange in such
volume for some of the steels that
specialists were not able to straighten
out their books and make an open

United States Steel finally opened
with a transfer of 25,000 shares, re

As Ship Is Torpedoed
By the Associated Press.
GREENOCK, Scotland, Sept. 5.—Victims of the war’s
first great sea tragedy, 600 shaken and weeping survivors
of the torpedoed British liner Athenia arrived on rescue
ships today with tales of horror.
Two hundred of those arriving here were injured.
One survivor, John McEwan of Glasgow, said a submarine tor
pedoed the Athenia and then twice shelled the vessel as her life
boats were being lowered. He said it was rumored 90 persons had
perished.
(The Norwegian steamer Knut Nelson landed 430 more of
the Athenia survivors at Galway, Ireland. The master of the
stricken liner, Capt. James Cook, declared there that his ship
“was hit by a torpedo which went through the galley and
into the engine room, causing heavy loss of life.”

A member of one of the rescue crews said the first SOS from
the Athenia was received at 10 p.m., G. M. T., Sunday (5 p.m.,
E. S. T.h
“I saw the Athenia take her final plunge, stern first, the next
morning,” he declared. “I saw a group of five boats and in the
water a number of young children who had been drowned. The
boats were full, some of them badly flooded and some had people
clinging to their sides.”
Glasgow mobilized hospitals and nursing homes to accommo
date the injured, while other agencies planned to care for other
refugees, many of them thinly clad and weak from exposure to
the winds of the North Atlantic.
Perhaps the saddest sight of all was 9-year-old Roy Barring

As the rescue work went on, no one could say definitely how
many had been killed or drowned in the disaster.
One rumor said 90 had died. Some persons said the figure
was far greater and pointed out that a score or more must have
drowned when the propeller of the Norwegian rescue ship Knut
Nelson shattered a lifeboat full of women.
Brother and Sister Heroes.
Fifteen-year-old Brenda Chapman and her brother Thomas, 13,
of Detroit, told of being awakened when the torpedo struck.
Brenda said:
“I didn’t try to change my pajamas, but helped Tommy up to
the deck. Then I helped row the boat.”
Other passengers were loud in their praise of the children.
Pathetic scenes were enacted as the first of the rescued ar

There were wives without husbands,

desperate for news of survivors from
other rescue areas.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cox of Nee

water.
Mrs. Cox said: "We were soon

While we rowed during the night we
