EKPORT OF FOODS
Delay of Order Mobilizing Im
. perial Anny Accepted As
'Hopeful Sifjn.
Berlin, July 31 The German fed
eral council today Issued a decree pro
hibiting exports of grain, flour, food
stuffs, meats, animal products, auto
mobile trucks, motorcycle, petroleum,
coal tar and coal oils. This soon into
effect Immediately.
It had been generally expected that
the order for the mobilization of tha
German army and navy would . is
sued last night. The governrieat's
postponement of this drastic notion
rave' rise today to. hopes that some
thing might happen to avert the neces
sity of doing so. , ,'
The general feeling throughout
Germany wa. however, that only a
miracle could prevent war, anl n
other anxious day of waiting fcr the
dissolution of existing doubts as -to
whether thet crisis would result in
peace or war was passed toy bankers,
business men and the laboring 61 a Pes,
the latter of whom would have to
T ear the brunt of the burden ill case
hostilities should be decided on.
Meanwhile the German government
put forth the greatest exertions ta pre
vent the spread of alarming rumors
end false news. It' ordered the con
f ?ctUlon of four, newspapers which
had printed an erroneous report that
mobilization had 'been ordered a id the
strictest censorship was placed upon
mews and other despatches- sent
abroad. Objectionable despatch sa are
being returned to the senders. -
Official quarters "found In the Rus
sian ukase calling out the army re
serves a factor which greatly asitrnva
" ted the situation and amounted, in
their opinion, to a direct challenge to
Austria-Hungary and Germany. Feaf
that, in case of mobilization, thn Ger
man railroad system would be slock
ed for ordinary traffic caused a num
i er of municipalities to take stspr to
increase the stocks of grain in ti e' dis
tricts within their jurisdiction. The

Berlin city council commissioned sev
eral firms to purchase and bring In
supplies of grain and flour and many
of, the cities on the frontiers followed
suit. , . ' ; ' . ;'
The financial markets reflected the
general pessimism. Trading has been
almost Buspended Ifor cash Tsuslneas
and even this is listless. Money is most
impossible to obtain and, It Is known
that at least a dozen 'brokerage, and
banking flrma are' In difficulties and
suspensions are apprehended,
American visitors, after at . first
treating rumors of war lightly, have
begun to realize the gravity of the
situation. Their German friends oc
cupying Influential positions have ad
Vised them to quit the country at once
as a mobilization" order might tie up
the railroads at any moment.
The report that , the Grand Duke
Ernst, of Hasse, was proceeding to St.
Petersburg, was seml-'offlcially denied
today. The Grand Duke Is still at
Wolf sgarten CastJe.

WELSH .NOT ANXIOUS
TO GIVE RITCHIE
ANOTHER FIGHT HERE
"When Fteddie Welsh put that little
Joker In his, set of conditions, insist
ing that I should make 133 pounds
rlnswlde rlf I wanted a return match
he gave the real tip- off on his Ideas
of getting into , the ring with me
again." ' ' ' !;'.- '
Such was the declaration of Willie
Ritchie, former lightweight champion,
when the question of another match
was put up to him shortly, after he
left the V8terland at , Hoboken Wednesday-afternoon.
" Ritchie would ask
nothing better than a. match . with
Welsh in America, he declared, add
ing that a repetition 'of his ' work
against -the SJnglishman . at dympia,
would gain him the decision from any
referee or set of newspapermen in
America. He said there Was no- truth
in the report that he had arranged
for a return bout before . the' other
one was fought. ' v
"Over here," said Ritchie, "'a boxer
who makes the fight gets some credit
for hie aggressiveness and the man
who ruiM away has to do a lot of
damage to offset his lack of aggressiveness,-
Over there to ' make the
other fellow , miss seems to count as
much as clean hitting, even If a boxer
has to bactastep all the time to make
hla opponent miss., I did all the forc
ing and Fred-die back -pedalled,, , 'Nat
urally he was fast enough to make
me miss continually, but -as they fig
ure ftjrhta that way perhaps he had
the right'idea. . 1 .
"But there :ls no questions as to- how
the tame tactics would be greeted by
an American crowd. - 1 say American
crowd: not 'because J ' would expect any
advantage" here but - simply 'because
I know what they expect sof , a . boxer.
If I- ran away- from Welsh over here
as he did in . the ring at Olympia they
would probat-ly" hoot me out of the
ring.". .,;. i ... ; ,
BOXING NOTES
(From T. S. Andrews.).
Of late years there has been a great
deal of - controversy going .. on, both
in Eurgpe and America, as to whether
women, should attend boxing matches.
The women seem1 to have answered the
question " themselves by i turning out
in great numbers at "the Gunboat
Smith and Oeorges Carpentier match
In London, and alsb th'e one - between
Freddie Welsh : . and ; Willie Ritchie.
There were more than 1,000 women at
each of these fights, which Is certainly
going some, for even a city like Lon
don, and the chances are ' that ' when
more big tights" are held there, .' the
number .will be Increased,' for jreporta
from, the other side state .that women
were among the most enthusiastic of
all the spectators.- , ' !
It Is nothing new .to find hundreds of
women attending-; these, boxing matches
in Paris,, but it was something of -a
novelty in London. ! However, i-these
are not the only; cltleswhere . women
attend boxing contests, for in. Milwau
kee last' winter, many ' women : attend
ed the matches at the Auditorium ; atd
they seemed to- thoroughly ""enjoy it.
Most of those who "attended these con
tests were very outspoken and , said'
that they could see no reason why the
fair sex could not attend them just as
well as watching a football match. .':
As long as boxing -matches are prop
erly . conducted and. held in respecta
ble "qUarters,V there -Is no .reason " why
women cannot . 'attend ' them. , Of
course.- It : has always been. av supposi
tion that' boxings Is. a man's sport," but
nowadays the women' seem to be' tak
ings up all kinds of sport?, and they
have -included boxing in the list. So
that settles'lt." :'-.' ;', - -y J -
'Joe JeanetteJ one of the! trip of great
colored flig-hterbr has about- reached
.the end of s his rope as a heavyweight
championship .possibility... , Joe. has
been a wonderful fighter and has nev
er quibbled over terras when arrang
ing matches with the greatest stare
of the game, hut .in his , recent fights
with. Georges - Carpentier and others
he has not shown the same dash and
vim as formerly., ,. , ;
, The other night in New York Joe
tackled ; the big negro .Battling-; Jim
Johnson- who weights over 220 pounds
and the- accounts' differ as . to whether
Joe was knocked out or fouled m the
first round. - Joe "claimed that he had
been hit low .and foud; whiles some
of the Johnson adherent? alleged the
blow was fair. . However, Referee Bil
ly Joh decided that the battle should
be continued after letting! Jeanette rest
three minutes, which . ,-n-ould Indicate
that a foul had been committed..
The men fought- a hard contest
throughout the ten rounds and at the
end some said draw and others that
Joe had won. It : only proved that
Jeanette is going . backward fast or
Jim Johnson is coming- along rapidly.
Jeanette has been, a great favorite in
New York for several years,- even
though he is colored, and the fans
will be sorry to. hear of his down
ward slide. ' He is" one of , the few
Ighters who , thinks more of home life
than the gay -eights. Hels happily
married and has a fine family and Is
respected and that is a lot of. satisfe
tion for Joe. , .

Harris, who a little later became
world's bantam champion by defeat
ing Pedlar Palmer In London.., In
1902 Ryan became a featherweight,
but was defeated by Abe Attell. He
then made a Quick passage through
the " lightweight division and in 1904
he found himself a welterweight and
the head of his class. Ryan claimed
the title on the strength of his three
victories over "Honey" Mellody. .He
lost to Jimmy Gardner in IB rounds
at Colma In 1905. His last ring ap

CLOSED TO HELP
SUSTAIN CREDITS
: London, July 31. The London Stock
Exchange ' has been closed until fur
ther notice. The decision to clone the
exchange was' taken -by the committee
at a meeting; this morning.,
The committee also announced jthat
the settlement due August has been
postponed,- and that the corwsol set
tlement due ' August 6 has been , put
oyer until September.. Stocks thet
have yet to '-.toe delivered for. the ac
count Just closed must, however, be
paid'for.' "' ..'' ",""
- The chief reasons ' for the unprece
dented' action of the London, Stock
Exchange commltte was the -fact that
the system of,' credit had practically
broken down and it was impossible to
carry on business in the iordinary
way. ' This situation' did not .arise
through over-epepulatlon, but -because
bankers, could not . collect margins
which had been rabidly shrinking
While at the same time the continent
continued to pour stock into London.
Bankers here had; been trying for
daye to get ', their customers to take
up this stock", but -the impossibility of
finding cash and the - inability to sell
the - securities caused credit business"
.automatically' to cease and the cloe-
ing of the exchange - became neces
sary. ',--..' s 'X
The "hanking situation, in London
has become so abnormal that it is un
derstood the . British cabinet at its
meeting today discussed the possibil
ity of taking measures to prevent a
panic. .The Bank of England was to
day charging 10 per cent, for weekly
advances an unprecedented rate.
A ' curious - spectacle was witnessed
there this morning, r a long row of
clerks. and messengers .marshalled by
red-coated officials waiting their turn
to convert, bank notes into cash. .It
appears that the Joint stock institu
tions are paying . out holiday and
month-end checks in bank notes and
sending their recipients to the Bank
of England to obtain cash for them.
There hae been nothing whatever
in the nature of . ;panic or run, but,
officials have been quietly paying out
sold and silver -since the opening of
bank thi3 morning. -, - . , " -.
