STEAMER DOLLAR SAILS
 FROM RIO JANEiRO
Under British Flas-Expected te Reach New London in Two Weeks.

Steamship Robert Dollar. laden with S,o00,000 feet of lumber consigned to New London from Victoria, B. C., has sailed from Rio Janeiro under the British flag, having been refused per- mission to change from British to American registry. Information to this effect was conveyed in a cabIegram to the state department Wednesday night from American Vice Consul General Burnell at the Brazilian port. for the failure of the Robert Dollar to secure the transfer of registry. The state department will probably take the matter up.
 The $500 ton steel steamship has been on her way from Victoria since early in June It was her intention to pass through the Panama canal July i and her arrival at New London was expected about July 20. The failure of the canal to open to traffic on time caused the owners to decide to send the steamship through the Straits of the European war broke out and fearing capture by German cruisers the Robert Dollar put in at Rio Janeiro.
 There the unsuccessful effort was made to transfer her to American reg istry- The ship is one of the fleet owned in San Francisco and flies I the British flag. She is expected te reach New London in about two weeks.
 | Additional interest in this case aris- es from the fact that the German | cruiser Karlsruhe has been lowering off the Brazilian coast. Some oib- servers believe that she will seel ! to capture the Dollar

 protest against the clearance of tn: ship was the result of a mistake c1 the part of the Dominion Government or the British Consular Service, either
 at Ottawa or Rio. and would bt strengthened out in short order. It il
 true. however, that the Brazilian Gov
 ernment took the view that to let { former British ship clear under tht
 American flag might involve BraziFl neutrality.

sensation with bewildering rapidity until
the climax is reached as an entire train
plunges over a fifty-foot embankment to
