ish or other hostile war vessels for all
we know, and while | realize that the
press is anxious TO cover the past as
well as the future movements of this
vessel, must decline to make any
statement regarding the Nurnberg or
its cruise in the Pacific"
Captain Schoenbers is making ev.

cables with the mainland and also at.
tended to much business in company

Choir off the harbor this morning, were
several. large bins we'll filled with po.
