The congress is to be asked immediately to appropriate $2,000,000 to relieve Americans In distress in Europe. President Wilson today approved the detailed plans which were drawn up last night at a conference between Secretary Bryan, Secretory McAdoo, Robert Lansing, solicitor of the state department, counsel for the American Express Company, and Benjamin Strong, a New Yorkbanker.

To Work Out Details. A. C. Miller of the federal reserve board, will work out the details of the relief plan, and to aid him trained men from the war and navy department who are specialists in transportation will be assigned to give their full cooperation. ' Mr. Miller first will get In touch with steamship companies to get their co-operation and find what vessels will be available.

EXPECT HUNDREDS ; FOR CHIFED GAME Richmond Managers Prepare , for Rooting Delegations From Neighboring Cities. The largest crowd ever witnessing a baseball game in Richmond is expected to be present at the RichmondChicago Federal game at athletic park next Sunday afternoon. The game has been advertised extensively by the local club and train loads of baseball fans, who are anxious to see the famous Chifeds in action, will be brought to the city from the country within the radius of from fifty to a hundred miles. "Chick" Long, who has pitched the best ball ever seen in this city, will be working on the mound for Richmond and is expected to give the Chicago Feds a run for their money. Long has more than a mere game at stake Sunday for he is being considered by Captain Tinker, of the Chifeds, as a possibility on the big league team. It is up 10 Liong to mane gooa uunaay or lose his opportunity. Although the Chicago team ought to have a walk away with the locals, a good game is promised by reason of the combination of Long, at pitch, and the heavy batting of the Quakers, which has been the feature of the team this season. Novack will probably be on the Bench Sunday, although his place at catch has not been filled bv Ma.na.s-nr Kenney. Since his heat prostration a week ago, which put him out of the Connersville game he has been in ill health and will probably not be strong enough to play Sunday. GREY BACKED (Continued from Page One.) sla has passed responsibility back to Germany. ' England, standing to the last for peace, will also bold the kaiser responsible for the conflict. From the small spark of the ultimatum delivered to Servia by Austria has sprung the flame now enveloping the most powerful nations of the world. Italy Resists Pressure. - Standing aloof, shielding her people from disaster, Italy is endeavoring to avoid the conflict, but pressing down oh her 1b Germany, demanding that she live up to the terms of the triple alliance and aid in "resisting the at tack of Russia and - France." It is the contention that these two nations attacked him that the kaiser has seiz ed on not only to put himself in a favorable light before the world, but to put Italy in the position of refus ing to fulfill the duty Imposed on her by the alliance. The railway stations, where the continental trains arrive and leave, presented busy scenes. Each incoming train brought refugee Americans and Englishmen from the continent. As few porters were on hand all of them had to carry their own baggage, and some amusement was afforded by their method of trundling heavy trunks from the cars to waiting cabs. It is announced that the government's extension of the. holiday applies only to banks, which will give the government time to complete arrangements to meet the financial situation. Other 'business will continue as usual. Ships to Stay In Port. All British trading vessels are to be ordered to remain in port. The orient liner Otway, reached Gibraltar today from Australia, advices here declare. She was immediately ordered to remain there. ARREST WOMAN FOR BEING A SPY STOCKHOLM, Aug. 4. An Austrian woman was arrested today at Oestersund, Sweden, on the charge of being a Russian spy, according to word received here today. She gave the name of Julia Kos. Photos of , Norwegian fortresses were found in her possess Ion. She had traveled through Norway on horseback. The "safety first" idea which has recently come into general practice on tne most American roads is an old one in Germany and other. European coun- ' tries where the practice extends to very form of industry as well as the railways.

BROKEN TROLLEY DETAINS DANCERS A merry party of young people, who were returning in an interurban from the dance given at Jackson's park last evening, were detained until about 2:30 o'clock, three miles west of the city, when the trolley wire broke. The car was the last that arrives in Richmond from the west, leaving Jackson's park about 11 : 30 o'clock. A special car was run out to transfer the passengers but on account of the lateness of the hour, two hours were spent before the officials were able to get another motorman to run it. Ashark's teeth are movable at will, and become erect at the moment the animal is seizing its prey. v.

CITY TO BLOW UP WEST SIDE POMP Council Votes Task of Eliminating Nuisance of Fire Companies. The city's greatest nuisance, the West Richmond uump, near the Doran bridge has received it death warrant and its elimination will be attempted by the street department and fire department within a few days. Councilman Weidele, chairman of the special committee appointed to Investigate the feasibility of the city purchasing property in the vicinity of the dump for a riverside park, reported last night that the committee had only half finished with its work but had already reached the conclusion that it would be unjust for the city to maintain the west side dump any longer. He said the committee had decided to recommend that the dump be blown up with dynamite and that the fire departments be prepared to combat any possible blaze from the top of the dump after the blasting. Chief Miller today said that the blasting was work for the street department to do. t He recommended, however, that blasting powder and not dynamite be used. No time for the big blow up has been fixed. Mr. Waidele says it is an outrage that the residents of the section of the city where the dump is located have had to put up with the nusiance so long. Carpets, curtains and linens in houses in that neighborhood are permeated with filth from the dump and the odor is positively sickening. He said recently one woman bad to be removed from her home at midnight for fear she would be suffocated by the sickening 6tench. Satisfactory progress is being made in the investigation of the park project and a report will be made within a short time. ROUTE OF GERMANS GERMAN TROOPS INVADE. PARIS, Aug. 4. A company of German troops crossed Into France today near Mars-Latour. Advices from the fortress at Belfort say that almost continuous skirmishing Is in progress there between the German army of invasion and the French defenders. The French commanding general is utilizing his aeroplane corps both for scouting purposes and for the purpose of harassing the enemy with bombs. While there has been no general battle, both sides have sustained loses in the skirmish ing. The German advance is intrenching its base and it is believed that a general assault on Belfort is contemplated. A German army aeroplane last evening dropped three bombs on the French fortified town of Luneville, to the southeast of Nancy. Some property damage was caused, but there were no casualties. Cross Border at Three Points. The German entry into the duchy of Luxemburg was headed by thirtyfive automobiles filled with officers, these being followed by cavalry In force. . FIRED TWENTY SHELLS. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4. Details of the bombardment on Sunday of the town of Libau by the German cruiser Augsburg, were contained today in an official dispatch. The cruiser fired twenty shells, and did only slight dam age, one or tne sneus strucK tne naval hospital, but no one was hurt. The cruiser then departed.

FOULKE SENDS NEWS OF FAMILY'S SAFETY

The first word from any of the Richmond people now traveling In Europe was received by A. D. Gayle, president of the First National bank last evening at 9 o'clock from William Dudley Foulke, who according to the cablegram, is now in London with his family. All are safe, according to the cablegram, which does not go into detail concerning the conditions there. The cablegram is sent by code, which, as near as can be translated into English, is as follows: "Family cables from London safe and well." The party with Mr. Foulke includes his wife and daughter, two grandsons and two maids. The cablegram was sent from a seaport near London. No word has been received here from James Morrison, who sailed from New York, Friday, July 31, on the steamer St. Louis. It is thought probable by local friends of Mr. Morrison that the ship has been called back and will not arrive at its destination, which is London. The families and friends of the other Richmond people who, according to the last report, are In Germany, are anxious to hear from them and are making every effort to get in touch with them. Their anxiety has been increased since the report that no foreigners will be allowed to leave the country during the mobilisation of the army. There are 1,500 registered autos in Barcelona.

CLUB TO ADVOCATE COURSES 0(1 BIBLE Knollenberg, fcr Commercial Body, Makes Recommendation to School. A Bible'study course for which credit Is given on examination is a probability for Richmond public schools.. George Knollenberg, chairman of the committee on education, made a report at the meeting of the directors of the Commercial club last night of his fTastlgation of the proposed Bible Study course which was before committees of the state board of education. As a result the Commercial club committee will ask the school board to adopt a course of study as outlined by the state board and the school probably will comply. The Bible study course as Mr. Knollenberg explained it, is interesting. Denomination, creed, race or belief is not a factor. Whatever Bible or religious text book the pupil accepts as his Bible will be accepted as h!s text book for his studies. The course is not for religion, but for sacred history and literary production. No studying Would be done in school rooms and there would be no recitations as it is pointed out, that would result in continual friction between believers of different faith. The school board will be asked to introduce the Bible, the Bible being construed to mean any Bible, as a textbook In the schools and have examinations at certain periods as prescribed by law. A half credit for a term's course is given for successful students who pass the examinations.
