Ambassador Herrick at Paris reports that a proposal to place German interests in France in his hands is being discussed there. No action has been taken by this goverament on the pro- posal for Ambassador Herritk to represent Germany in France, but officials expect that such duties will devolve on American diplomats gener- ally in Europe and will be as- sumed by them. Ambassador Herrick has been ordered to remain at his post throughout the present serious international situation and until his successor, Will- None received by the president holds out any hope that a gen- eral European war may be avoided.

The demand from abroad may -send prices soaring to such prohibitive heights that it may be necessary to declare an embargo on the exporta- tion of foodstuffs from the United States. An embargo would require special action by the president, with sanction of congress, either by a prohibition law or prohibitive export tariff on food. It is believed, however, that the in- adequacy of the United States mer- chant marine and the fact that for- elgn commerce would be legitimate war prey for the combatting nations would make an embargo unnecessary. BLOW TO IMPORT BUSINESS Almost Complete Suspension Seems Probable. New York, Aug. 3.—An almost com- plete suspension of the import busi- ness of the country is near at hand, according to members of large import- Ing firms. The canceling of the sail- ings of all vessels by German steam- ship lines is feared to be merely a forerunner of more serious obstacles. More difficulty is expected to be ex- perienced in moving American ex- ports because of the limited tonnage under United States registry of neu- tral flags. Still more ominous is the rise in the rate of exchange abroad. This fea- ture of the war situation reached such proportions that large importing houses issued cable orders to stop buying goods on the other side. In many instances goods have been advanced from 10 to 15 per cent in Europe the present week. Gould Wedding Tomorrow. Charles Gould, cashier at Schneider Brothers, left last evening for Le- Sueur where he will act as best man at the wedding of his brother, Ed- mond, to Miss Kathryn Baker, which takes place in that city tomorrow.
