Dr. Mercer, of: Chicago, Says War Spirit Blazed Uptimmadiately. London, Aug. 21.—The Samuel D. Mercer of the Western Theological seminary, Chicago, has reached here from St. Petersburg, having travelled by way of Finland, Sweden, Norway and the North Sea to Newcastle. “I was in St. Petersburg August 1, when Germany declared war on Russia,” said Dr. Mercer yesterday, “and the effect on the population was clectric. Enthusiasm for war blazed Rev. Dr. the dullest people, became ani- mated. Somehow all the Russians seemed to feel that every English speaking person was at one with them against their great military adversary. Englishmen and Americans, wherever they appeared on the streets, were caught by the surging crowds and borne shoulder high, however reluc- tant and embarrassed they were. “‘Apparently the Russians had been expecting a dangerous development from the direction of Germany for a long time. One hears much of Rus- sian disorganization, but I saw none of it. Indeed I was astounded at the businesslike way in which the authori- ties acted.. There was no befuddle- ment. Within a few hours enormous bodies of troops were moving to the frontier of Finland. Clearly the Russians were apprehensive as to the situation in Finland and immediately threw overwhelming forces into that country. of Went Across Finland. “On August 10 I and three other Americans travelled across Finland.

The Russians intend to mask the German fortresses near Koenigs- berg with great armies which they can afford to spare, since Russia has 4,000,000 men under arms, and then begin their march on Berlin.

They had American $56 gold pieces which when passable at all were only worth $3.60. Buns were bought costing forty cents each. The Sommerses crossed from Ostend to Dover in a side wheeler that was jam 1ed with 1,100 persons. When they reached London they found that paper money, which was all they had, could not be used and they had to borrow other money or starve. travel | “More than 1,000,000 Russians are | the whole great mass will move, | This should happen almost at once. | The German forces opposing the Rus- | j siders.

New Haven, Aug. 21.—A scarcity of potash for fertilizer is impending ac- cording to Prof. E. H. Jenkins, di- rector of the agricultural experiment station, because this country depends upon the German supply. The potato growers will suffer the most as potash is demanded by them while growers of other crops can, in a measure use other fertilizers. As Connecticut grows only a limited supply of pota- , toes the curtailment of potash import! will not be so markedly felt by farm- ers of this state.
