MORE KHRRISBUROERSLLLL SIGHT OF WAR
While in no Danger Plans AreSpoiled and Passage Money
Wasted
That the war prospects leave Ameri-can tourists in Europe in an unpleas-ant predicament is too plain to deny,but there is no occasion for any realalarm among their friends. Theirgreatest hardship will be that theirplans are spoiled, their time lost andtheir passage money more or lesswasted. There is at least no dangerto life or property. Temporary em-barrassment may be caused in someinstances by the difficulty of cashingtravelers' checks and letters of credit,but most likely some plan will be ar-ranged to provide all with money toget home and to enjoy a fair amountof comfort during the period of wait-ing for transportation. To adventur-ous spirits there will be a certaincompensation for what they lose incatching some spice of the war at-mosphere that now thrills the conti-nent.
In addition to the list of Harris-burgers now abroad published in theTelegraph on Saturday are EdwardBailey, the well-known banker withMrs. Bailey and their children, whoare in Scotland; Miss Mary Robinsonand her nieces, Miss Margaretta Flem-ing and Miss Suzanne Fleming whohave been in Germany for a year aresummering in Norway; Mrs. James I.Chamberlin and daughter, Miss JeanChamberlin, of 323 North Front street,are touring Russia with Judge andMrs. Edward W. Biddle, 'of Carlisle;Miss Theodosia Boone and Miss Mar-tha Fleming, of the Seller school fac-ulty with Miss Jane Howard and herniece, Miss Gertrude Olmsted arespending most of their time in Nor-way; Mr. and Mrs. Sherman A. Allen,of the Harrisburg Academy, are visit-ing in Holland; Dr. Charles B. Fager,Jr., principal of the Technical HighSchool, Mrs. Fagcr and his mother,Mrs. C. B. Fager, of Walnut street,were in the Austrian Tyrol; Miss Lo-rene Shelly is taking a general tour ofEurope; Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Kuhn,of Chicago, the latter formerly MissRheta Adler, of this city, expectedto remain in Europe for six monthsvi,siting famed watering places dur-ing the heated term. Miss MarthaWolf Buehler, of North Second street,has been with a party to Norwaywhich expected to be in Berlin thisweek and Miss Clara Alricks whenlast heard from was touring inFrance.
Miss Mary Esther Knisley, of Frontand Maclay streets, sailed last Mon-day with Mrs. Harry Reily, of Texas,a former schoolmate for Paris, France,to visit Mrs. Reily's father, Mr. Weber.They were passengers on the Kron-prinzessin Cecilie which left for Bre-men by way of Plymouth and Cher-bourg. Under ordinary circumstancesthe Cecilie would have communicatedtirst with the Fastnet station, off thesouthern coast of Ireland. It is be-lieved, therefore, that the vessel isskirting the north of the British Isles,with the intention of entering theNorth Sea and making her way directto some German port.
Americans Crowd LondonLondon?Not even at the height of
the tourist season have there beenmore Americans in London than to-day. Although the pockets of manyof them are full of American and Eng-lish banknotes and American expresscompanies' bills, they might just aswell have nothing, for only gold andsilver is taken anywhere.
The flight from Paris has becomealmost a panic. One of the Americanswho arrived from the French capitalto-day said the train which left Parisat 9 o'clock last night was jammedwith Americans. Many of them wentto the station as early as 3 o'clock inthe afternoon and stood for hourswaiting for a chance to get aboard.The heat was intense and there, wasmuch suffering among the women andchildren, but nobody would give uphis place.
Berlin?Ambassador Gerard wishesto call the attention of Americanphilanthropists to the really unfortu-nate conditions which will very sooninevitably confront a large number ofthe poorer American men and womenin Germany.
Among these are tourists, men andwomen students, and others whosemoney is already or soon will be usedup. The prices of lodgings and foodhave gone up rapidly, and manyAmericans who, through the cripplingof German steamship traffic, must re-main here a long time will soon bewithout means.
Paris?The situation of Americanson account of the war crisis wasmuch worse to-day. Inability to se-cure money was the chief peril, for,despite alarmist rumors, there wassure to be plenty of food for every-body and also plenty of trains to theboats after the mobilization was over.
The financial situation is consideredso critical that it is understood theAmerican Ambassador, Mr. Herrick,last night asked Washington to sendthe swiftest cruiser bearing a cargoof gold to anable Americans to cashtheir present useless checks on Amer-ican banks. Transports to facilitategetting out of the country also willbe- asked.
The Telegraph will be glad to pub-lish the names of any other Harris-burgers now abroad if they are sent in.Telephone 2040 ?1890 Bell.

EAST NOT INCLUDED jIN HATE INCREASE;
Decision in Freight Case AddsFrom Fifteen to Twenty Mil- [lions to Railroad Revenues
Special to The TelegraphWashington, D. C., AUK. 3. The |
long awaited decision in the advancerate case by the Interstate CommerceCommission gives the railroads in theterritory west of Pittsburgh and eastof the Mississippi river an increasewhich, it is estimated, will yield be-tween $ 15,000,000 and $20,000,000 ud-dtional revenue each year. No in-creases arc granted to the Kasternroads, including those in New England,hut several of the l>lg Eastern systemswill benefit'by their ownership of linesin the Central Association territory.
For all of the railroads involved thecommission points the way to econo-mies and the stoppage of leaks which, jin the end, it believes, will yield the Irailroads much more than the SSO,- j000,000 additional revenue they sought jto raise through the general increase ]of 5 per cent, in freight rates.
The commission granted an increase ,of 5 percent, to the section east of theMississippi river and north of the IOhio river, west of a line drawn be- jtween Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
The commission refused to grant a :like increase east of the Buffalo-Pittsburgh line; refused increase onlake-and-rail rates; advanced all classrates 5 per cent, within the centralfreight association territory,and grant-ed a like advance on all commodityrates except coal, voke, brick, tile, clay,starch, cement, iron ore and plaster.
The commission's decision was basedupon the ground that under the rateshitherto prevailing the service couldhot be commensurate with the publicdemands. The new rates will increasethe income of the affected railroadsabout 1 % per cent.
In addition to Its decision on therate increase, the commission suggeststhat the railroads give less free ser-vice to shippers: that they abolishthe free transportation of passengersand special cars; that they examinecarefully, before renewal, those con-tracts with sleeping car Companies
! which are about to expire; that they! investigate whether the cost of prop-lerty needed to be acquired for the ben-eficial operation of their business isnot increased because directors in
| their companies are also interested in' the holding of these properties.
Commissioners McChord and Dan-; iels dissented from the majority de-
| clsion of the commission, and de-
clared themselves in favor of a general1 5 per cent, increase east as well aswest of the Pittsburgh-Buffalo lines.
I ,ook For Kurther ReliefThe fact is that the commission
plainb' intimates to the roads west of
| Pittsburgh that they are entitled tomore even than the full 5 per cent.,but the commission's hands were tiedunder the present proceedings In go-ing beyond the relief asked for. It isthis feature of the report which leadsmany railroadmen to believe thateventually they will get more substan-tial relief than was originally asked.
The increases granted for CentralAssociation territory include both classand commodity rates?the full 5 percent., with the exception of coal, iron,coke, cement, brick, tile, clay, starchand plaster. These excepted commod-ities, of course, include a large partof the tonnage of these roads. Thecommission finds that the roads didnot sustain their burden of proof Inreference to the advances on theseItems.
In the' case of the Eastern trunklines and the railroads in New Englandthe commission holds that they failedto sustain the reasonableness of the
j proposed 5 per cent, advances. The| commission found that the financial
j condition of these carriers does notwarrant a general increase. The com-mission held that the needs of the NewEngland lines are being cared for
| locally.

BANKER SAYS WAR 'WILL HELP AMERICA
Conflict Will Benefit Farmers and;Packers in This Country Says
S. H. March
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Berlin, Aug. 3.?What effect a gen- ;eral European war will have upon the
United States was the subject that wasuppermost in the minds of numerous |
I romlnent American businessmen who
asesmbled in Berlin last week.Sidney H. March, a New York
banker, and member of the firm of I/a-denburg, Thalmann & Co., said the im-pression that the American business- 'man gets from the situation is utterastonishment that a country to whichis attached such commercial eminenceao Germany possesses could dream,on such a pretext as the Servian im-broglio, of risking everything in awar of truly Incalculable dimensions.Said Mr. March:
"America will profit from the strifeat the outset. Undoubtedly we shall becalled upon to furnish immense quan-tities of cereals and provisions for thearmies and navies, and our farmersand packers for a long time will bethe chief source of sustenance withoutwhich all warfare is impossible. Liong-range artillery and dreadnoughts havenot altered the truth of Napoleon'sdictum that armies and navies fighton their stomachs. When the war isover the other side of the medal willreveal itself. Will the peoples of Eu-rope who have suflered from the strug-gle for political supremacy continueto be customers to whom America cansell In the hope of collecting the cost?Will Germany, for Instance, any longerbuy $80,000,000 or $90,000,000 worthof cotton for her textile mills, or anequal amount of petroleum, copper orany of the other great raw commodi-ties for which she now is dependent!on America? Will her people havefelther the Inclination or the money toimport the vast quantities of ourmanufactured goods they now take?These are phases of the situationwhich present themselves to an Amer-ican who takes a far-sighted view."
