' NEW YORK, Aug. IS. Tie
American liner rhllsdtU.hu, with
the first treat .crowd of Americans
who rushed from Europe when the
! various nations declared war, arrived
in New York tonights There were
703 persons in the cabin and 309 in
the steerage. Virtually all ot them
were without baggage, manjr of them
without money, and all had stories
of hardships to tell.
The Philadelphia sailed from
Southampton a few hours after Eng
land declared war on Germany. The
first day out seven French torpedo
boats and three submarines were
sighted. One of the torpedo boats
hurried after the American liner, the
rest of the fleet following slowly.
Finally the torpedo boat, the B-7,
came alongside and ordered the
Philadelphia to stop.
Cheap FreBch Skips.
The war vessel signaled the liner
several times, its officers looking
closely at the faces of the passengers
crowded on the decks. The Trench
naval officers wero sure the Philadel
phia really was aa American vessel
and that the passengera were Ameri
cans, and one of them shouted in
English that the Philadelphia might
proceed. The passengera cheered the
French ships. The cheer was re
turned and the tiny vessels steamed
away.
Tha refugees in the steerage were given
the freedom of the ship. They were sepa
rated from tha women, liowever. and In
some cases husbands were divided from
their wives by this regulation. Rather
than aleep In the steerage seores f these,
passengers slept In tha smoking room, on
the boat deck under the boats and In
steamer chairs. Four persons were In
every rabtn.
The pasaengers were exceedingly glad
to get back to the t'nlted States. At
quarantine they cheered tha mall boat,
the health officers' boat and the revenue
cutter. They shouted questions over the
side about tha whereabouts of various
vessels on which their friends were sup
posed to hav sailed, but which were
requisitioned by tho various governments.
As the Philadelphia neaeed Its pier In
the North river tha crowd waiting on 1
shore shouted a welcome to the refugees.
Then for a quarter of an hour the whole
river reaounded with cheers.
The regulation preventing a ehlp which
arrives at quarantine after sundown from
proceeding from tha dock until the next
morning was waived today. The Phila
delphia did not reach quarantine until
after 9 o'clock. The port authorities did
everything In their power to have tha ship
and Its load of passengers move quickly
and an hour and s half after it arrived
In tha lower bar the last of Its psssen
gers had gone ashore.
Gennaas Beatea In Parts.
Hundreds of passengers on board had
rushed from the Interior of France and
Germany. Travelers from Parts told of
mobs swarming through the streets,
breaking windows and looting German
shops. Others told of Germans caught
In the French capital being beaten by
gendarmes and tha excited citizenry.
The streets near the railway stations
were piled high with abandoned baggage.
Ha great waa tha rush of Americans from
France to England that small steamers
In the English channel, constructed to
accommodate from D0O to 900 persons,
carried S.000 men, women and children on
every trip. Mrs. B. Blarkmore of On-1
clnnatl, one of tha passengers, was In ;
Gletach, Swltterland. July 31. She left I
for Parts on that date. She had a first-!
cytss ticket, but was forced to occupy a
third-clans compartment with a crowd of J
soldiers and peasants. She aat on the;
floor of the car during the entire trip. j
Abandons Bnggng.
In Faxla aha waa Informed by another
American that she had just tlmo to catch
tha last train tor Calais, whore she could
get a boat across the channel. She aban
doned her baggage In the street and
reached a milway station a few minutes
beforo the train left.
Five thousand American and Fngllih
mm and women were trying to get on
the train, she said. Soma of them rode
between the coaches rather than be left
behind. There waa no water on any of
tha tralna. Upon arriving at Calais, Urn.
Btackmore was faint from wsnt of food
and water. An American she had never
seen before obtained both for her.
Howard L. Wlllett of Chicago left Paris
on tha train with Mrs Blackmore. Ha
told a similar story and added that tha
train waa stopped aeveral times by sol
diers, who went through It searching,
they said, for German spies '.n Paris,

German forces la believed to be concen

the duchy of Luxemburg. This leads to
the conclusion that Germany's frontier

As soon aa the declaration of war by
England on Auatrla-Hungary became
publicly known, a large number ot Aus
tiians and Hungarians resident In Lon
don who were liable to be called up for
military service, applied to Robert P.
Skinner, the American consul general, for
enrollment. The clerks of the consulate
genera, at ones began stamping the
men's military books, and thia will be re
garded by tha Austrian authorities ss
evidence that tha holders were ready to
perform their duty.
In accordance with previous Instruc
tions received from Secretary of State
Brysn, Consul General Skinner has noti
fied the American consuls throughout the
British laics to tske over the Austrian
consulates.
Ambassador Walter Mines Page was
read yto assume charge of the Austro
Hungary embassy here as soon as re
quested to do so. The number of Aus
trlans and Hungarians In tha British Isles
Is not known, but It Is expected they will
add considerably to the problem of the
relief committees.
Reason for Declaration.
The British foreign office later issued
the following statement:
"Diplomatic relations between France
and Austria-Hungary being broken off,
the French government requested his ma
jesty's government . to communicate to
the Austria-Hungary ambassador In Lon
don tha following declaration:
" 'Having declared war on Servla and
thus taken the Initiative in hostilities In
Europe, the Austro-IIungarlan govern
ment has placed Itself without any
provocation from France, In a state of
war with France, and after Germany had
successively declared war against Russia
and France, Austria-Hungary haa Inter
fered In the conflict hy declaring war on
Russia, who already wss fighting on the
side of France.
" 'According to Information worthy of
belief Austria-Hungary hPS sent troopa
over the German frontier In such a man
ner as to constitute a direct menace
against France. In face of these facts
the French government finds Itself obliged
to declare to the Austro-Hungarian gov.
ernmnnt that It will take all measures
permitted to It to reply to these acta and
menaoes.'
"In communicating this declaration, ac
cordingly, to the Austro-Hungarian am
bassador at London, his Brlttanio ma
jesty's government has declared to hip
excellency that the rupture with France
having been brought about In thla way. It
feels Itself obliged to announce tht a
stste of war exists between Great Britain
and Austria-Hungary, aa from midnight."

LONDON, . Aug. 13. (Special
Cablegram to New York World and
Omaha Bee.) England' tonight
awaits news of great happenings at
sea and on land, -where the forces
and those of her allies are in contact
; with the enemy.
Official Information received today
has led to the hope that the German
fleet has taken the offensive, aa was
expected it would when the first de
cisive land battle impended.
Everything points to the probabil
ity that the allied armies of England,
France and Belgium are in a death
grapple with the kaiser's army of the
Meuue, which has advanced from
Liege in the direction of Brussels.
Alllea Kqaal laraalera.
Tba allied troops are believed to be
at least equal in numbers to the Ger
man force and confidence is felt that
tbey will be able not merely to check,
bat to. posh back and perhaps smash
the invading army.
Should the event equal this antici
pation, the right wing of the huge
German line, in which 1,000,000 men
are said to be stretched over a dls
tance of 160 miles, will have been'
broken and rolled back, leaving the
armies in Luxemburg and . on the
Moselle, which are In daily outpost
contact with the French forces, oper
ating from the fortresses of Verdun,
Nancy and Epinal as bases, in a pre
carious situation.
So serious does the 0-rman dilemma
appear that, it Is Maid, there Is reason to
believe tonight that the kaiser's troops
will not even attempt to give battle In
Belgium, but will withdraw and fall bad: I
on the center cl the line. . j
British Court Sea right. j
The prospect of a sea fight Is looked
forward to calm! , though there Is no st- j
tempt to underrate tho courane or fight- i
ing capacity of the Gel man fleet. It Is
recognised ' that, with a powerful snd
numerous squadron of submarines snd an j
aerial escort of Zeppelin bomb droppers. I
the German navy may. With luck on Its.
side, counterbalance In large measure the j
overwhelming numerieal and gun pre- j
ponderance of the British ships. j
But the alienee of tha admiralty, the
repeated warnings to fishermen snd the j
general feeling that Germany will at- j
tempt to strike at once on sea and land -leada
to the belief that a battle Is ImmW j
nent In the North sea. . j
Englishmen have lost none of their pride-:
and confidence In their navy, and are '
firm In the conviction that In gunnery, )
seamanship and other qualities the Brit- i
Ish navy will maintain its traditions when
It meets the German fleet. That there J
will be heavy losses In men and.shlp Is :
expected, but England is ready to pay
the price of victory.
Greatest Land Battle of History.
The land struggle, it Is believed, will
be the greatest ever fought In the history
of war. '
Nor are the stakes any less than have
been fought for In any human contest I
since history began. For the map of
Europe will be Changed when peace settles
down again over the continent
The opposing armies aro spread over
a difficult frontier country, li miles in

are included. Almost J.WO,iO men. It IS
estimated, are under arms along this

artillery large In numbers and mors

has known In battle.
Military authorities e.Mlmate the Gew

more than 1,00,00) men. The gun sfwngtli
of this Immense force Is said to be about

1,300 machine guns.
These figures do not include the re
nerve armies In the rear of the fighting
line. A combined attack of ao large a
force on so wide a front never haa been)
attempted In history.
Tha number of troops that German.
can bring Into the field for tha first blow
la approximately double that of the arm?
that Von Moltke had at his disposition
in ira
Judging from the fragmentary news
coming through. It seems to be tha
kaiser's Intention to tske the offensive
all along tho line by the simultaneous ad
vsnce of all the seventeen army corps,
though experts Insist that he will hold
his center snd left wing until his righU
Is either victorious, has fallen safely back;
or has been routed.
In the letter event, he might protect
the retreat of the army that was so
quickly checked st Liege by massing bacli
his ocnter. which Is now In the neighbor
hood of Longwy, where France, Belglun
and Luxemburg make a corner.
In addition to reports concerning Bel
glum, Paris alao reports tonight that tho
Germans began the bombardment oO
Pont-A-Mousson. In the department of
Meurthe-ct-Mosellc, about twenty miles
from Nancy, yesterday morning. A bun
