' ??mmmm AMERICANS ANXIOUS TO QUIT TROUBLED EUROPE Seek to Get Checks Cashed?Steamship Companies Book Hundreds of Passages Without Guarantee of Sailings. London, Aug. 4.?Americans toda> crowded the offices of the American Express company and the steamship lines trying to get checks cashed ana secure passage home. The express companies aided many of those in financial straits and the steamship companies booked hundreds of passages, although it is probable no sailing guarantee can be given until safety is assured by the navy. The greatest demand was for berths on American liners. Persons who usually travel in the most luxurious cabins were buying berths in the steerage at greatly increased prices.

Southard ATTORNEY AT LAW Will Practice in all Courts Office Opposite Post Office al Merchant Marine was jammed all day with Americans and a like condition prevailed at the office of the Cunard and Canadian lines all of which are still doing business. The German line offices are dismantled and the clerks left in charge made no attempt to attract passengers. The express companies offices which opened at an early hour were crowded all day. They were well supplied with currency and honored checks up to $50. The American Express company supplied the temporary wants of more than ",000 persons up to 2:08 o'clock this afternoon when it closed for the day. There were still hundreds in line desiring gold in exchange for their checks. They were told to return tomorrow. The Wells Fargo express company was open all day. During the morning the cashiers were busy honoring checks, but the rush stopped early in the afternoon. The company's manager said he could meet the temporary requirements of holders of drafts for some time to come. Individual Americans are helping their countrymen by advancing temporary loans. Herbert C. Hoover, a Californian, opened an office today in the American consulate and advanced amounts of $25 and upwards to persons unable to get money by other means. Manv Americans tell nitifnl tales of trials on their flight from the continent. Those from Germany or places more remote were forced to pro several days without sleep and in some instances without food. One woman related how she and her daughter, with only a sovereign (about $5) between them, made their way to England from Prussia. They traveled by train and steamer. They had been without food for 14 hours. RELIEF OF AMERICANS IS THOROUGHLY PLANNED Millions in Gold Will Be Sent on a Warship for Distressed Citizens of the United States Abroad. Washington, Aug. 4.?Relief for the tens of thousands of Americans in European war zones will be extended through every available power. Millions in gold will be sent on a war^ ship foe American needs. Officials of the state, war, navy and treasury department conferred cn plans to coordinate the work. Fo? immediate relief, President Wilson asked congress to appropriate $2,.500,000. This, with the $250,000 appropriated yesterday by congress, will be started across the Atlantic tomoirow night on the armored crusier Tennessee. Bankers and export con. panics also will add $5,000,000 to $8,- | 000,000 on the Tennessee. The Tennessee will carry government official to distribute "the gold at European ports for American diplomatic Uuk reaus to aid stranded Americans. A canvass today of available ship1 evealed that with the pxrontinr. r>f six ocean liners flying the American flair there are only 30 tianspoits. coastwise ships and other vessels of American register available lo transporting Americans home. The latter would carry about 7,000 passengers, so that a total of only 10,000 people could be transported, according to estimates. Want to Return. The state department estimates that of the 100,000 or more Americans in Europe 20,000 urgently want to return. The others have money j enough to stay in Europe until a second trip is made. Should more Americans want to depart the only thing administration officials think can be done is to charter vessels owned by neutral countries. Details of the transportation problem will not be worked out for several days. Secretary Garrison voiced the view of administration officials that there was no particular reason for alarm. "There can be no peril ao Americans abroad," he said, "as the first thought of the warring nations naturally will be to look out for the safety of foreigners, particularly Americans. 1 d onot feel disturbed in the slightest degree." _ LOWER FAIR FOREST Lower Fairforest, Aug. 4.?Some have a little to do to their crops yet; hut most everybody is going to church this week.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an | inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and 'when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflama uon can ne laKen out and tnis tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine leases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition <>f the mucous surface;.
