Mrs. Theodore n Vail, who has been

Miss Lois Redmond, teacher of French

went to France after the closing of

Marion A. Dane. teacher of German in

There is some speculation as to their
ability to return in time to take up
school work and also some anxiety as to
their safety in the event of a more Sc
rious condition of affairs abroad. Miss
Redmond is the daughter of John w.

LINER MAURITANIA
TO BE WAR VESSEL
Giant cunard Ship to Be Transformed
for the Sort of Service She in
Part Was Designed For.

Halifax, Aug. when the Cunard
liner Mauretania, which put into port
Yesterday with 2,400 passengers, fee
ing from Europe, again sails for Liver
pool she will be fitted out as H. NJ. s
Mauretania and prepared to destroy hos
tile shipping of Germany. Commerce
destruction was the Interior purpose for
which the Mauretania was built. She
was practically built by the admiralty
and many features of warsbip construc-
tion were embodied in her hull.
The Mauretania arrived here yester-
day after completing in four days and
ten hours her swiftest and most dra-
matte voyage across the Atlantic, At
lI.3O Wednesday night the Mauretania,
while off Sable island, was warned by
the British cruiser Essex to change her
course without delay for Halifax. The
helm was shifted so quickly that many
passengers, iolted by the shock as she
heeled sharply, believed the ship was
turning turtle.
Under the highest pressure of her tur-
bine engines, with all her ports blanket
ed and not light showing, the Maure-
tania sped over the lao miles that lay
between her and safety from German
cruisers, with her protector behind her,
the searchlights of the Essex being seen
streaking across the horizon as she
scanned the waters for the enemy
through the night
The Mauretania's passengers were not
officially informed of what had occurred.
They had received no intimation of the
declaration of war from the officers.
The Mauretania sailed from Liverpool
at 4:55 p. M. ON Aug. ! for New York
amid the utmost excitement. Many
would be passengers were left behind on
the piers. From the moment the big
liner left British shores the officers were
on the alert, aud Halifax was held in
mind as an alternative port If contin-
gencies demanded.
In the midst of thick fog while of
Sable island, wireless message from
the Essex conveyed urgent warning to
make under full speed for Halifax. At
that time the Cunarder was $50 miles
from New York and l40 from this port.
Somewhere lurking in the darkness
and fog was a German cruiser, but
watching guard over the lanes of travel
along which unarmed commerce was
speeding were British warships warning
the liners hy wireless where danger
lurked for them.
Full steam was kept up during the
whole voyage, as shown by the Maure-
tania's daily runs from noon to noon
of each day. To noon Sunday she ran
SIS miles; Monday, 6l0; Tuesday, 500;
Wednesday. $50, and then sped the SIS
miles to Halifax, total Of 2,ss2 miles.
The distance was much heightened by
the steamer having first taken the New
York route and having to change her
course to direct north when advised by
the Essex that danger lay farther south.
The actual time to Halifax was four
iavs and ten hours. which could have
been reduced six hours by the time lost
Jh the indirect route.
