When it became known that a special service of prayer was to be celebrated at the winter palace, where the em- geror was to show himself to _the people, an extraordinary wave of exultation passed over the city, tes- tifying to a desire of the public to show their loyalty and patriotism. Hours before theappointed time for the service a crowd of one hundred thousand gathered at the scene bear- ing flags, banners, portraits of the em- peror and placards with patriotic in- scriptions. ‘When the imperial yacht with the emperor and his family arrived from Feterhof at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they received a tremendous ovation, the people all kneeling and hurrahing ae the imperial party passed to the pelace. When their majesties had taken #heir places for the service, the priest read the declaration of war, a Te Deum was sung for victory for the Russian arms, and their majesties venerated the holy cross, and the ikon. Czar Solemnly Declares Russia Will Wage War The emperor then addressed the representatives of the army and navy In a brief speech, expressing ‘the calm dignity with which Russia had re- cefved the declaration of war and the sonfidence of the nation that war would be carried to the desired end. “I here declare solemnly,” the em- peror said, “that T will not make peace while a single soldier of the snemy remains on Russian soil.” His Majesty concluded with words >f encouragement to the army and in- vcked a blessing on their efforts. While the emperor was speaking 1} in attendance fell to their knees ind many were seen to be sobbing.

Appeals to lieople to Remain Calm Washington, August 3.—President Wilson today appealed to the people of the United States to remain calm during the war in Europe. He de- clared the United States owes it to st of the world during the present ci The President declared the United States could gain great and perman- ent glory during the present trouble provided no one lost his hecad. The president urged that nothing be done in America to add to the excitement of the world. There is sure to be in- convenience to the financial institu- tions of the country,, he told the cal- lers, but added that the administra- tion is fully prepared to help out all difficulties. He urged that no cred- | ence be given unconfirmed reports of a sensational nature. { The president declared there was no: cause for any serious alarm in the United States. The administration is bending every effort, he said, toward getting ships to carry the foodstuffs and other products of the United | States to all the world and to bring | home Americans stranded in Europe. | A proclamation of neutrality, Mr. | Wilson said, will be issued as soon | as it can be completed by the state department. He does not believe ‘there will be | any necessity for congress to remaln in session because of the situation in | Europe. | President Wilson told callers today the United States had not directly or indirectly imade an offer to use its | good offices to bring about peace in Europe, he said he had not heard ot a suggestion by the Queen of Hol- land that the United States unite with her country to offer mediation. White House Authorizes Quotations from Remarks The White House authorized this quotation from the president’s re- marks to the Washington correspon- dents: “It is extremely necessary, it is manifestly necessary in the present state of affairs on the other side of the water that you should be extreme- ly careful not to add in any way to the excitemeft. Of course, the Euro- pean world is in a highly excited state of mind, but the excitement cught not to spread to the United States. So far as we are concerned there is no time for excitement. There is great inconvenience, for the time being, in the money market and in our exchanges, and temporarily, in the handling of our crops; but America is absolutely prepared to meet the financial situation and to straighten everything out without any material difficulty. The only thing that can possibly prevent it is un- reasonable apprehension and excite- ment. “If I might make a suggestion to vou, gentlemen, therefore, I would urge You not to give currency to any unverified rumor to anything that would tend to create or add to ex- citement. I think that you will agree that we must all at the present moment act together as Americans in seeing that Amecrica does not suffer any unnecessary distress from what is soing on in the world at large. The | situation in Burope Is perhaps the sravest in its possibilities that has arisen in modern times, but it need not affect the United States unfavor- ably in the long run. Not that the United States has anything to take | advantage of, but her own position is sound and she owes it to mankind to remain in such a condition, and in such astate of mind that she can help the rest of the world. “I want to have the pride of feeling that America, if nobody else, has her self possession and stands ready With calmness of thought and steadi- ress of purpose to help the rest of the world. And we can do it and Teap a great permanent glory out of doing it, provided we all co-operate to see that nobody loses his head. 1 know from my conferences with the secre- tary of the treasury, who is in ve: clese touch with the financial situa- tion throughout the country, that there is no cause for alarm. There is cause for getting busy and doing the thing in the right way, but that there is no element of unsoundness and there is no cause for alarm. .The bankers and business men of the ccuntry are co-operating with the government with a zeal, intelligence and spirit which make the outcome secure. Secretary President Wilson that he had taken up bankers the question Americans in BEurope foreign connections of banking houses in this.country.

Issues Appeal for Neutrality of England Dr. Von Kuhlmann, counselor of the ! | Mr. Hamlin will watch developments | German Embassy here, today issued a remarkable appeal for the neutral- ity of England mo It said: The maintenance of British neu- trality would in no way injure France. On the contrary it might be argued that by remaining neutral Great Britain could give France exactly as much strategic assistance and a good deal mo effective diplomatic help as according to all reliable informa- tion there is no intention of sending British troops to the continent and as a few British divisions considering the enormous numbers engaged could hardly alter the balance of power.
