Washington, Aug. 27.—Secretary
Br^n today cabled all American em

\irge Americans to leave Europe with-
ou‘ delay.
Sscretary Bryan issued the follow
ing formal statjment:
1 “Americans in Europe are advised
to retui-n home as soon as they can
secure transportation facilities. War
creates uncertainty so that predie-
tior.s about the futui-e cannot be made
with any accuracy; It is not wise,
thfrefore, for Americar.s abroad '-■>
delay their return longer th»r. neces
sary. This does not mean that eycry
one should try to take the same s’nin.
but it means that there shall be no
unnecessai"y delay.’

I achieved an enun€r*t succejift.
Mr. ScOtt-Hunier Is not oniy an
artist of the ftr*t rank, but i* also a
man of broad and gereftous ideals. Hs
has' used hi.s magnificent talents and
accciiiplishmer.ts for the bei^ent of the

niuijiiy has felc the uplift and inspi
ration of his presence, and service.
H*s removal is a ccnimunity loss.
Seldom is a city of Barlingtori^s
rank permitted to enjoy the services
of an artist of such rare ability. The
gratitude of all our people, without
regard to church or other pffiliatinn.
is due to the large-minded men of
i the Episcopalian Church who brought
j Jlr. Scott-Hunter to BurliTis:to^, He
jhar. set a lofty standai’d .'f his srt

J ity, which will remain as ideal and
