RED CROSS SHIP BACK
WITH TALE OF PERIL
Officers Want Inquiry Into Al
legged Tampering With
Machinery.
COMPLAINTS IN REPORT

The ship Red Cross. which was called
the Mercy ship" when she sailed on Sep
TENDER 10 with more than hundred
nurses and doctors for Red Cross ser
vice with the armies Of Europe. returned
yesterday and is now mt the Hamburg
American pier in South Brooklyn. When
the officers and members of the crew
who made the complete voyage landed.
they asserted that mercy ship did not
describe the vessel, In the light of their
experiences.
The trip from start to finish, they said.
had been one OF danger and unpleasant
ness
The ships officers have prepared a full
report and this will he forwarded to the
Department OF Commerce In Washing
ton. They want an investigation at which
they can tell their story. They also want Of
nccrs and men OF the original German
crew, which was replaced at the eleventh
hour called to tell what they know
of the condition the ship wac in when
they left here.
Though this report has not been made
public officers of the Red Cross talked
Of 1t yesterday According TO them, the
most serious charge In the report Is that
when the Red Cross left this port she
was not seaworthy. The report is said
to state that the four bllge pumps were
found 20 be out OF commission. ExaminR-
ton 10y engineers disclosed that previous
10 the taking over OF the snip from the
former crew they had been clogged with
blankets. burlap bagging and bits OF
broken china.
1t was three days before this condition
was relieved, and In the meantime. the
report says. wa'er rose above the level OF
the lowest deck from three To five feet.
There was a decided list to port. on the
third night out, when observers were not
about, the stat" of affairs necessltated
that bucket brigade be formed to bail
ont one Of the compartments.
The danger of fire on the Red Cross
is emphasized in the report. which says
that none of the fire pumps worked
properly. one OF the pumps. which fed
"A line OF hose on the B deck on the
starbuard side, was so damaged that dur
ing the whole trip II was useless.
The engine room, IN the opinion of the
complaining officers. showed the m ~
misuse on the part Of some one. The
mechanism e the refrgcrating plant was
found To- be out OF order before the Red
Cross left the harbor one Of the pipes
was stuffed with rags. and a valve had
been removed and then put back In the
wrong way. making the passage OF am
mlnia Vapor impossible. The wrenches
were missing and some Of the packing
had disappeared. causing fumes TO cs-
cape through the ship until Falmouth was
reached.

The Rights Discussed.

Just what British rights are In such

the Vows II the United States with regard

between acting Secretary OF state Lam

The state department Is tying To main
tain for American shipping and exporting
interests the fullest freedom OF trade with

this freedom for American vessels. but IN
slst at the same time that they must SEE
cure themselves against con,raoand pass

mark for use In Germany
The provisions Of the Declaration or
London form a basis of these discussions.
Great Britain announced that her Adj
miralty rules, issued early IN the war,
would be based on this convention despite
the fact that the British Government
never ratified IT,
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-10-25
A Provision Opposed.

The British incline to the view, how

ceptiun to the provision Of the London
Declaration which would prohibit the
consideration of ultimate destination In

They desire to maintain the position that

To enforce their arguments on this
point the British have gone back TO the

EGGS BY PARCEL POST.
A System Of Marketing That Offers
Possibilities of Better Prices
for the Producer.

Washington, June 12.-That eggs
can be marketed successfully by par
eel post and that this method frequent
ly secures a better price for the pro-
Queer and a fresher article for the
consumer has now been demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the experts in
the United States department of agri-
culture. The department conducted
tests that covered a period of five
months. At the end of that preiod it
came to the conclusion that the parcel
post was of particular value to the
man whose flock was too small or who
lives too far from express service to
permit him to ship his eggs in the reg
ular commercial case which holds 30
dozen eggs.
In the course of these experiments
the department shipped" 9,131 eggs in
466 lots. Of these 1927 or slightly less
than $50 per cent were broken, but
only 209 or slightly less than 2.3 per
cent were absolutely wasted. The
others, though broken, could still be
used. The percentage of breakage,
moreover, will be greatly reduced, it
is said, when the employees of the post
office become more accustomed to
handling such fragile matter.
