statements that he will shortly marry
a niece of Moreton Frewen, the well
known writer on political economy.
This matter has never been mentioned
in the presence of Sir Edward, but
Mrs. Longworth cheerfully and in a
loud voice asked him at the dinner:
“When's the wedding going to be?"
‘There is not going to be any wed
ding,’’ replied Sir Edward curtly and
coldly.

TRYING HARD
TD GET ROME
American Tourists in
Europe Flocking to
Steamer Offices. Paying
Fancy Prices For Passage
London. —American tourists In Eng
land entirely gave up their sightsee
ing trips today and flocked to head
quarters of the trans-Atlantic steam
ship companies to try to book passages
home. Their one and only object ap
peared to be to get home as soon as
possible.
The Tunard, the White Star and
other British and Dutch lines did an
immense business, accepting many
passengers who had intended to sail
on Hamburg-American liners, all of
had been definitely withdrawn
from the service. The withdrawal of
La Provence of the French Trans-At
lantic Line, also provided many cus
tomers.
Many paid high premiums for tick
ets to those who had them but prefer
red taking the profit in the hope of
getting home later at a lower rate.
The Hamburg-American and other
German companies have ordered their
vessels In all parts of the world to
seek neutral ports and if the orisis
continues soon will be entirely dislo
cated.
Thomas Nelson Page, American am
bassador to Italy, who had booked on
the Imperator, decided today to return
to Rome in view of the critical situa
tion.
Greater Pressure.
Paris. —Jean Jules Jpssqji&nd, the
French ambassador to the United
States and his wife had booked their
passages on board the Provence.
Myron T. Herrick and Mrs. Herrick
were to sail for America on the France
Saturday week, but as her sailing date
has been advanced they cannot go by
that vessel. Mr. Herrick will not pre
sent Ills letters of recall on August 3
as previously arranged to the enor
mous amount of work falling on the
embassy.
The pressure of Americans trying to
get passage home was much greater
today than yesterday. The steamship
agencies were busy answering inquir
ies. Bookings on all ships sailing at an
early date appear to be full except
som© on vessels of the less desirable
lines.
Americans who do not wish to sail
at once, or who cannot get passage
at an early date from a French port,
are going to Holland, to Belgium, and
most of all, to England, to prolong
their vacations a little longer or to
await the sailing of the steamers on
which they took passage. Their places
at the Paris hotels are being taken
by streams of Americans from Switz
erland, Northern Italy tund Southern
Germany.
The Dental Society of Europe, which
is holding its annaul meting here, was
nearb' broken up today by its mem
bers hurrying to their homes In Ger
many, Austria and Italy.

PEACH CROP
The Last Car Load From
Fort Valley District Was
Shipped Yesterday.
Atlanta, Ga. —“ The present week
will see the end of the peach crop in
Georgia,” said General Manager M. J.
Christman of the Georgia Fruit Ex
change today. “While the number of
cars has not reached that of 1912 the
efficiency in handling those marketed
through the Exchange has not reach
ed that of 1912 the efficiency in hand
ling those marketed through the Ex
change has been greatly increased,
and it can be truly said that the 1914
season is the best In the history of
this organization.”
“The last car load of peaches out
of the Fort Valley district went for
ward Friday. It was made up of a
combination of shipments from a half
dozen or more orchards In order to
fill the car.”
“Practically all of the shipment* to
be made during the present week will
be from North Georgia. That section
suffered a severe hall storm durtag
the past week and it is estimated that
one hundred car load* were ruined as
a result.”
“The prices secured for the fruit
marketed by the Exchange has been
unusually high and it is most gratify
ing that this season has been unus
ually from complaint by any of the
growers ”
“It is Hafe to say that the Exchange
marketed over ninety per cent of the
fruit grown in Georgia and has the
largest and most enthusiastic mem
bership In the history of the Ex
change.”

AMERICANS IN
EDRDPETjjITIES
U. S. Consuls to Get In
structions to Serve Notice
on All to Remove Them
selves.
Washington, D. C.—American consuls
throughout Europe soon will receive In
structions to get Into close communica
tion with all American residents and
travelers in their districts. If a general
war breaks out, they will serve notice
that Americans should remove them
selves and their property from localities
which may become dangerous.
Many Americans are without sufficient
funds to maintain them for any length
of time in Europe, and pay their ex
penses to America. There 1h no fund
available upon which the consuls can
draw to relieve them hut if a general
need of assistance develops the state de
partment will appeal to congress for an
appropriation.
Other Americans whose safety prom
ises to be a matter of serious concern
are naturalized citizens passing between
Europe and the United Htates. Efforts
may be made by the European belliger
ents to arrest such people because of
their nativity regardless of their nat
uralization.
There has been some discussion of the
possibility of using American naval ves
sels to supplement the limited number
of ships in the American merchant ina- |
rine to bring home Americans, but Sec
retary Daniels today had not taken up
the subject.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi
cal Health.
The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable tiling is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
on unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepaid, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Finkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
