AMERICA'S CONCERN.
BED CROSS SHIP DELAYED.
OBJECTION TO GERMAN CREW
Washington, September 9.
The American Red Cross Society's ship Red Cross, formerly the Ham-burg-America liner Hamburg, carrying a dozen hospital units, was about to sail when she was unexpectedly held up. It appears that the British Ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, objected to her departure because the majority of the crew were Germans. Later the Red Cross was allowed to sail with a crew of neutrals.
President Wilson, in the proclamation, calls upon the people of the United States to pray for the peace of Europe, and fixed upon October 4 as the day of prayer.
