Miss Holland Takes Stroll While Bath Is Prepared. New York, Aug. 8.—Central Park West was filled with noisy trafic and at the Seventy-second street entrance to the park a policeman was per- spiring as he disentangled taxicabs, trucks, surface cars and park equip- ages in midafternoonyesterday, when a young lady wearing not a stitch of clothes, and apparently very happy, sauntered majestically down the steps of the main doorway of the Majestic Hotel. | Her pink skin aglow and unfettered by raiment, the girl hesitated a mo- ment on the second step from the bottom, surveyed the busy street and then boldly started across toward the park, near the entrance to which is & lake in which she would have made an excellent ‘‘September Morn” or August afternoon. Trafic immediately became more entangled. Chauffeurs and drivers stopped instantly to gaze at the pretty picture. The policeman forgot about trafic and the perspiration and pur- ’ sued the voung woman. He reached her just as a maid ran from the hotel, and both seized her at the same mement, effectively checking any ‘“‘September Morn” intentions. She was led back into the hotel while rude men laughed and shocked women hurried away, and there it was explained that she was Miss Ger- trude Holland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Holland, of Plattsburg, N. Y., who are at the hotel. She had been in the basement and a maid had prepared a bath for her, leaving her for a moment after removing her clothes. In that moment Miss Gertrude, who is four, started for the park.

GERMANY TRIES TO BLACKMAIL SWISS of Losing Coal Supply Washington, Aug. 8.—Intimations of a threatened crisis in the relations between the Imperial German govern- ment and the government of Switzer- land has reached the state depart- ment officlally. The crisis has been precipitated by a German demand upon Switzerland for a loan, sald to be $50,000,000 gold, and a German threat to cease all coal imports into Switzerland un- til the amount is paid. Switzerland resents the demand on the ground it is extortion. Swiss of- ficlals have appealed to Entente diplo- mats for advice, and the Swiss gov- ernment has taken steps to apprise President Wilson of what is happen- ing. There are evidences of a determina- tion on the part of the kaiser and the German war party to strike terror into the hearts of neutral countries contiguous to the German empire on the ground that this is the surest means of keeping these nations from listening to British proposals aimed at tightening the blockade. Diplo- matic advices Indicate that this sub- Ject has been taken up in recent con- ferences between the German em- peror and his war lords, and that a new, threatening policy is being en- forced by German diplomacy. Switzerland particularly has come into disfavor with the German war leaders because of the ousting of pro- German government officials. the bar- gain made by Switzerland with France to- prevent foodstuffs from reaching Germany and the refusal of Switzer- land to permit the Socialist leader Grimm to remain a tool of the Ger- man peace propagandists in Russia. The German foreign office, it now develops, has been watching with | growing concern the lukewarmness of | the Swiss toward the active propa- ganda which had its headquarters at Berne. It was the spread of this pro- Entente feeling which caused the Swiss | government to recall Dr. Paul Ritter, | the Swiss minister at Washington, when it became evident that he was assisting Germany. The demand for a loan appears to | be the first step in a new policy of firmness which Germany is trying to | enforce on the Swiss. Switzerland | cannot spare gold to loan to Germany, | and it is fully realized in Berne that | the entente and the United States will not look with faver on the move. But | Germany demands it is a condition for coal shipments into Swiss territory, and the coal is urgently needed. At the state department today It was said that.no decision had been reached as to what immediate steps the United States might take toward helping the Swiss.

KORNILOFF EXPECTS TEUTONS TO FIGHT ON Russian Commander Does Not Be- lieve Germany Will Surrender— Says Russia Must Prepare. London, Aug. 8.—The correspond- ent of the Times at the headquarters of the Seventh Russian army talked with Gen. Korniloff on the eve of his departure to take over the supreme command. Genera] Korniloff said. “The first stage of The second phase begins today.” The correspondent says the Russian commander repudiates the possibility of the Germans surrendering. He holds that if Russia concludes a dis- honorable peace to which traitors have been driving her she will become a German colony forever. The Ger- mans would seize her foodstuffs, en- roll her men and treat her as a con- quered country. There could be no choice between the evil of war and the evil of surrender. The new government must realize the necessity of inviting the Allies to help in reorganizing the railway service for warfare, General Korn- iloft said, If Germany decided, as all signs indicate, to transfer the main pressure to the Russian front it would be hopeless to rely on methods that availed against the inferior Aus- trian troops. Russia is full of splendid fighting men. Ten millions have already been enrolled but they are scarcely trained. They are too busy attend- ing meetings instead of drill. These millions must be helped by British and French officers as Serbiuns, Ru- maniany, Greeks and Americans have been. PARIS PAPERS INOREASE PRICE. Paris, Aug. 8.—The press commit- tee which has delegates representing the Parisian and provincial press and the ministers of commerce and in- terior has decided that one cent pa- war is over. | spatches, wihch seemed to threaten a revolution and resulted in the sus- pension of constitutional guarantees, was brought here today by Gilbert L. Robinson, representative of a shipping firm, just arrived from Kurope. He said the troops were called out and that when a number of them were vslaughtered by bombs thrawn at them charged the crowd, killing 35 ians and arresting 1,500. This broke the backbone of the uprising. Mr. Robinson, who spent part of the time in Portugal, said the trouble was precipitated by the demand by all classes of workmen for a 70 per cent. increase in pay to meet the high cost of living, with a threat of a general strike if denied.

Under his orders, a detachment of soldiers of Company L, Fifth regiment, National Guard, accompanied by pa- trolmen, set out in an automobile with instructions to bring the men in. They located one of the men within an hour and brought him before the board. LABOR CONFERENCE OFF.

Crowder, provost marshal general, together with other officers of the war department, is at Enoch work on the mobilization regulations for the new national army, which now is being drafted. Thé regulations are expected to be ready within the next few days. Until the details are complete there will be no announcement of any por- THe under- that the first perhaps 20 per cent., will be called to the colors betwcen Septdmber 1 and September 15, more likely the latter date. It has not been determined what size the other increments will be, but the question of calling the remaining 80 per cent. is being considered. There are to be brief intervals between the calls, but it is expected that the en- tire draft, 687.000 men, will be in the cantonments by October 15. In all probability the men will be sent in a unit from their various lo- calities to the training camps aboard special trains. There are numerous details to be arranged to provide for the transportation and the care of the men during the trip. War department officials in charge of the construction of the 16 canton- ments which are to receive the new army estimated that the cantonments ! will be completed in time to receive the men. They declined, however to say definitely whether the canton- ments would be ready on the day originally set, September 1. Each of the cantonments will ho able to receive 40,000 men, with en- closed sleeping quarters, complete water and electric lighting systems and similar equipment. To build | such camps, the officers explained, is | an enormous undertaking—much | greater, in fact, than the average civilian realizes. The cantonments virtually will be cities of 40,000 in- habitants, with all the modern con- veniences of such citi R. R. STRIKE CALLED IN SPAIN.

New York, Aug., 8.—Mrs. Grace Humiston, special investigator of the police department, yesterday after- noon conferred with District Attorney Swann for an hour in reference to the prosecution of white slave cases on which she has been working. After the conference neither Mr. Swann nor Mrs. Humiston would discuss the sub- Ject of the conversation, but the dis- trict attorney said that he had as- signed James E. Smith, assistant district attorney, to prosecute any of the cases which Mrs. Humiston may present. Mrs. Humiston and Mr. Smith afterward were in conference. Mrs. Humiston applied to the su- preme court for the incorporation of the Monality League of America, the object of which, according to the ap- plication, is “to gather and dissemin- ate facts with the view of informing the publis of the dangers existing to women and girls throughout the United States; to investiggte and re- port to the proper autiefrities com- plaints made regarding immoral con- ditions which may exist in the state of New York and throughout the United States; to aid in the passage of legislation to promote and conduct organizations, both non-partisan and non-sectarian, for the purpose of eliminating immorality; to recelve, collect, distribute and disburse all money now in the Ruth Cruger mem- orial fund now In the hands of Mrs. Grace Humiston.” Besides Mrs. Humiston, the tioners are Izola Forrester, Carl Nemethy, Helen de Nemethy peti- de and !

Investigation of the export figures from the United States to the neutral nations of Europe reveals startling in- creases in their imports of sugar from this country since the beginning of the war. Denmark, which imported not a a single pound of American sugar in 1914 and 1915, received 4,339,563 pounds during 1916, according to the bureau of forelgn and domestic com- merce. The Netherlands imported no sugar from the United States in 1914 and only 169,937 pounds in 1915, but | of to the following yvear her sugar from this country 18,382,170 pounds. imports Jumped Still more impressive are the fig- | ures of American exports to Norway. I'rom zero in 1914 Norway’s imports of sugar from the United States jumped to 1,463,542 pounds in 1915 and to the astounding total of 96,264,- pounds in 1916. Even Switzer- which received no sugar from this country in 1914 and only 110 pounds in 1915, took 36,791 pounds in 1916. Just how much of this increase is the result of the cutting down of im- ports from Germany through the decresse of her production of beet 757 lad, sugar and how much has actually found its way into that country question for determination by § neutral governmeut themselves, Goods that now cannot be without license include foods. stuffs, iron, steel and explosives." adding cotton, lumber and su; these the government will extend control to cover the most impe: of its export materials.
