Eugene Gilbert, French Aviator Who Escaped From Switzerland. Paris, Aug. 24, 2:40 a. m.—Eugene Gilbert, the French aviator, brought down five German aeroplanes before he was compelled by an accident to his motor to land on Swiss teritory | last ‘June. Since his escape from Switzerland and his arrival in Paris on Sunday night he has been treated as a popular hero. ‘When first interned in Switzerland, Gilbert gave his word not to attempt to escape. The enforced idlen: preyed on his mind, however, and he took back his promise and seized the first opportunity to get away. With the assistance of a friend who pro- vided a disguise, he made his way to Lucerne and Geneva, and thence to Annemasse , in France. CLEVELAND BUYS BLUHM.

She soaked two teaspoonfuls in half a cup of warm water for 5 or 6 minutes. Then poured off the liquid and to it added a like amount of rich milk and a little sugar. This baby ate ravenously. “It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts.

The note has been virtually pleted. It now will be altered and probably will treat at Jlength the question of the validity. under inter- national law, of Great Britain’s latest action. ‘While there is no intention to aban- don the claims for payment for cot- ton seized prior to the British order, those cases now have a different status and a complete record of this phase of the dispute can be prepared and presented.

Lodge Formal Protest. The new American note, it is un- derstood, will lodge formal protest against the placing of cotton on the contrband lis 1d a lengthy diplo- matic exchange probably will follow. It is considered likely by some offi- cials here that the dispute eventual- ly will be settled by arbitration. While the new formal note is in preparation, state department offi- cials are continuing their informal ef- forts to secure the release of the millions of dollars’ worth of German and Austrian goods consigned to the United States now being held up at Rotterdam and other neutral ports as a result of the British order-in-coun- cil. Unofficial representations to Great Britain have been authorized in an effort to bring forth a further state- ment of the conditions under which these goods may be shipped without interference by the British fleet. Par- ticularly officials here seek to learn the truth concerning reports that private interests in England have been arranging for the movement of certain consignments when the ect- forts of the state department's for- eign trade advisers to secure permits for the shipment of similar goods have been unavailing since June 15. To Deposit $30,000,000, Treasury officials last night public an announcement by Secre- tray McAdoo that, in view of .-the action of the Allies in putting cotton on the contraband list, he would, if it became necessary, deposit $30,- 000,000 or more in gold in the fed- eral reserve banks at Atlanta, Dal- las and Richmond for the purpose of enabling the reserve banks to re- discount loans on cotton secured by warehouse receipts made by nation- al banks and state banks belonging to the federal reserve system. The gold would be deposited tem- porarily, at least, without interest charge. It was explained that if it appeared that the object could be accomplished with greater efficiency, thereby, the deposits would be made directly with national banks agrec- ing to lend the money on cotton at a rate not to exceed six per cent. made McAdoo Authorizes Announcement Secretary McAdao authorized the announcement from his summer home at North .Haven, Maine. It came at the close of a day of specu- lation in official circles as to the nature of steps which the entente powers have indicated they will take to uphold the cotton market in the face of their contraband order. “In the exercise of the discretion given to him by law,” read the treas- ury statement, “Secretary McAdoo said that the government will for the time being charge no interest on these deposits in federal reserve banks; that such action is justified by the un- usual situation respecting cotton caused by the European war; that he considers it his duty to use every available means in his power to heip the cotton producer of the south in the circumstances, that it is a matter of economic importance to the entire nation that those who have produced the cotton crop shall have a fair op- portunity ta dispose of it gradually and in an orderly manner so they may not be forced, through inability to market their cotton gradually, to sell it at sacrifice prices. Basis for Enlarged Credit. “The secretary said that one of his chief objects was to create a basis for such enlarged credit in the south that the banks will have ample resources to extend to producers such accomodations that they will be able tc carry cotton in warehouses for a reasonable length of time un- til it can be marketed advantageous- In order to accomplish this, he d, the national and state banks \\h)(h are members of the federal reserve system should make loans on warehouse receipts for insured cotton at low rates of interest; that the banks can well afford to carry cotton for producers at six per cent,. espe- cially if they are able to rediscount cotton paper at the federal reserve banks at a much lower rate than six per cent; that the credit resources of the banks of the country are greater than ever before in our his- tory and that there is no reason why the banks should not, in co-opera- tion with the merchants of the south, help the cotton producers with loans at low rates in the present pe- culiar sitnation. “Mr. McAdoo should 1t appear view could be greater efficlency said, however, that that the object in accomplished with to the cotton pro- ducers the merchants and the banks of the south by depositing govern- ment funds jn the national banks di- rect instead of in the federal reserve banks, he weuld take that course and make deposits in such national banks interest. as would give him the assurance that ===0F ...

Would Federal Government Seize German Ships in Case of War Washington, Aug. 24.—What would be the attitude of the United States toward the many interned German vessels in the ports of this country in the event of war is discussed in Washingtoan now with much interest. German merchant vessels tied up in American ports are supposed to be worth $40,000,000. There also are several German war vessels interned. There have been suggestions that the United States might seize the $40,- 000,000 worth of German vessels by way of reprisal if Germany contin- ued to violate ‘American rights on the high seas. It has been realized, though, that such a reprisal would be regarded by Germany as an act of war or would lead at least to reprisals by her against American property in Germany. Would Scize Vessels, In the event of war, many here believe that the United States would immediately seize all these important German vessels and rapidly convert them to its own use. That they would make valuable auxiliaries to the Unit- ed States navy, of course, is appar- ent. There is no doubt that if a break with Germany threatened to extend beyond the rupture of diplomatic re- lations, a very close watch would be kept on these vessels. Of course, the United States wauld be unable to prevent the sailing of the German merchantmen now tied up in these ports, before there had been any declaration of war unless it was suspected that the neutrality of this country was being violated. There is good reason to believe, how ever, that the warships of the Allies would be on the watch for any at- tempt by these German merchantmen to escape and this circumstance may account partially for the reported re- appearance of British men of war off Sandy Haok. Would Treaty Be Violated? Some officials' in Washington have raised the question whether the United States would be able to seize the German vessels as an act of re prisal at this time or confiscate them in the event of war without violating a treaty. It is pointed cut that the treaty of 1828 with Prussia, which Loth this government and Germany have agreed is still in force, contains the following article: “If war should arise between the two contracting parties the mer- chants of either country then residing in the other shall be main nine months to collect their debts and settle their affairs, and may depart freely, carrying off all thei effects without molestation or hin- drance; and all women and children, scholars of every. faculty, cultivators of the earth, artisans, manufacturers and fishermen, unarmed and inhibit- ing unfortified towns, villages plac and.in general all others whose ocupations are for the common sub- sistence and benefit of mankind, shall be allowed to continue their respective employments, and shall not be molest- ed in their persons, nor shall their houses or goods be burned or other- wise destroyed, nor their flelds wasted | months. | treaty provision would not apply. by the armed forces of the enemy into whose power by the events of war thy may happen to fall; but if any- thing is necessary to be taken from them for the use of such armed force the same shall be paid for at a reason- able price.” Opinions Conflict. Some officials were inclined to the view that this treaty stipulation might be construed to permit the officials of German steamship lines to depart with their vessels or at least wculd operate to prevent the United States from seizing them within nine Others contend that this In any event Washington officials expect to see the millions of dollars worth of German steamships tied up in this country figure prominently in the course of events if the ”trouble vith Germany assumed serious pro- portions BRITISH WARSHIPS BEFORE ZEEBRUGGE King George's Fleet Attacks Coast— Shells Burst Over Factory Out- side City. London, Aug. 24.—A fleet of Brit- ish warships approached Knocke, on the Belgian coast yesterday and threw a great number of shells on various points near bv. A despatch from Flushing, Holland, says that shells burst over a factory between Zee- brugge and Lisseweghe. Heavy clouds of smoke were seen to appear over Zeebrugge, but no fires were visible. The German official statement yes- { terday, telegraphed from Berlin, says that a hostile fleet of about forty ships appeared hLefore Zeebrugge, but quickly steamed away toward the northwest after being fired at by the coast batteries.
