He was in Vienna when wag between . that country and Servia, but by the kindness of the ! Austrians he was able to reach Lan- 'ada without difticulty. He said that he was always treated with the groat- est kindness and respect by the peo- ple there; the hotel people with whom he had been boarding with, even send- ing him' a letter offering accommoda- | tion for all the time he might wish to stay and a half of their personal supply of gold when that medium was SO scarce, When Austria declared sar on Ser- via the announcement was received | with tremendous enthusiasm.

The optimism then | | turned to depression, I'he signs of ! enthusiasm had disappeared, the cafes were deserted, the streets were filled with military motor-trucks dashing at full speed, soldiers on the march and all business: was at a stand-still. { The British consulate was besieged by people of every nationality, en- deavoring" to prove their British citi- zenship in order to leave the country or to escape military duty. Dr. Pol- son secured his. passport on August rd, and with it the British consul ad- vised him to leave Vienna at once. For the reasons given him he felt sure | that England would be imvolved in| the war He then went to the office | and purchased a ticket to New York | on the Cunard liner Carpathia, which was to' sail from Trieste on the 6th. Sixty American doctors who were studying jin the glinic secured a spe- ial® car and left on August 4th for kingland, by way of Krankiort, Ger- | many. On the' 4th he left for Trieste by 'train. At this tupe the statiops | were choked with departing: refugees | and on the next day a proclamation was issued tothe effect, that all pas- senger traffic would be suspended until | the completion. of the mobilization.

Greece he was among friends as Greece acknowledges the winning of her independence from Purkey and her maintenance as a fhation to England's assistance. Dr. Polson remained in Patras a week, waiting for a steamer to New York. In the harbor were three large - Austrian ships that had been captured by England and which af- ter promising to proceed to the first neutral port, were released. They were to remain there until after the war.
