THE ICELAND WINS
BATTLE WITH STORM
Ocean Liner Meets Terrific Gale
in Midocean and Fights Two
Days and Nights.
fBy Gable TO The Tribune.

London April 5.-Ships arriving at
English ports this week report the
North Atlantic still storm swept
Three days after Easter the Red Star
liner iceland encountered tremendous
seas in midocean and finally was forced
to heave to for five hours and make re-
pairs. ON Thursday the ship rolled
heavily To port and the deck was often
awash. Huge seas followed in quick
succession all day, and at night the
passengers were unable TO sleep. AS
the deck was at an angle almost con-
stantly Of 80 degrees. furniture and
glass were thrown about like puffballs.
No ono was able to walk without hold
ing on 10 something.
The next day was even worse. About
noon the ship ran into a succession of
cyclonic squalls, and waves pounded
the port side. one sea smashing the
thick plateglass windows on the prom
enade deck, flooding the cabins. tearing
away the casing of the engine room
telegraph and twisting the pressure
pipes for the steam steering gear. The
seas ran from forty to forty-five feet
high.
Twelve scamen crossing the forward
main deck were torn from the handlines
they had been grasping and thrown
against steam winches. Six we're in
hospital and two were operated on on
arrival at Antwerp
Captain Moller was finally forced 10
stop the liner in midocean and make re-
pairs. For five hours only one engine
was running at minimum speed in or
der 10 keep steerage way.
Strange To say, no first class cabin
passengers were seasick, as almost all
were veterans of travel.
Captain Moller was highly compli-
mented on his management of the ship
Her officers say the storm was the
worst of the season. Had not the Zee
land been well loaded ii would have
been very much more terrifying, as she
would have rolled still more.
iron steam pipes on the main deck
were twisted and bent. 4 steel plate
cut three-inch steel stanchion like a
knife. All the waves hit the ship
abeam. none head on. until the captain
altered her course.
After two days and two nights the
storm Gained down, and the weather
was better on Saturday.

Heart of Paris.

Paris, March 2S.-The people OF Paris
can to-day witness a rare thing. a foreign
naval vessel moored in the heart of their
inland city. This is the British survey
ship Rose. just starting on voyage that
will take her completely across France
before she reaches the waters Of the
Mediterranean.
The Rose is going out TO do surveying
on the rivers of Gambia. She is of too
slight draft to face the spring gales IN
the Bay OF Bscay, so the British Navy
Department asked the French govern
ment il she could make use of the inland
waterways of France.
After much consideration the Ministry
of Public Works devised combination
of canals with the requisite depth. drafted
out an itinerary and gave permission for
the Roses passage through France. The
vessel sailed from Southampton To IIayre.
where she entered the Seine: from Paris
she will go by various canals to the
Rhone. coming out 10 the sea again at
Marseillcs.
The Rose is commanded by Captain

fBy Cable 10 The Tribune J


London, April J.-Some political sig.
nificance is attached TO the forthcoming
visit Of the King and Queen to Ger
many, at the invitation of the Kaiser
TO attend the wedding Of Prince Ernest
Augustus of Cumberland, and the
kaiser's only daughter the Princess
Louise, on May "a The wedding will
make complete reconciliation between
the long estranged houses of Guelph
and Hohenzollern.
The visit of the King and Queen will
be OF purely private character. as
owing TO the present state of uncer-
tainty and anxiety in Europe visits OF
state or Of official character are i'm
practicable
The fact that the German Emperor
, had invited the King and Queen As
near relatives TO attend his daughters
wedding, gave rise 10 a report that
the King and Queen would carry out
temporary state visits to foreign capi-
tals' which has been custom for most
ne" sovereigns 10 pay as soon after
thelr accession as possible. In this
way the state visits Of the King and
queen 10 Paris. Berlin. Vienna and
ST Petersburg are predicted but official
contradiction has been promptly forth

The wedding will be an event of great
Importance as we'll as of interest. The
Duke OF Cumberland. son of the last
King of Hanover, Prince of Great
Britain, has never given his consent 10
Prussia's annexation Of Hanover For
this reason he was excluded from the

the Regent of Brunswick died. he was
again excluded. as he still adhered 10
his antagonistic attitude.
The Kaiser repeatedly endeavorcd 10
affect reconciliation between the two
houses. but his efforts were unavailing
against the Dukes hostility. After the
tragic death Of the Dukes eldest son,
who was killed in an automobile acci-
dent last May, the Dukes opposition
weakened, and subsequently his only
surviving son, Prince Ernest. visited
