Converted CRUISER
INTERNED At GUAM
GERMAN WARSHIP CORMOR-
ANT ENDS HER FOR
AGING.
SHORT OF SUPPLIES
Voluntary Internment Ended a
Delicate Neutrality
Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Nolun-
tary internment today Of the German
converted cruiser Cormorant and her
twenty-five officers and 355 men at
Guam, an American Pacific ocean
insular possession brought what
promised to be troublesome questions
involving the observance Of Rmerican
neutrality in this case to prompt
and final adjustment
As soon as it was learned at the
nevy department that the Cormarant
had put into Guam, short OF coal,
food and water, there was immediate
discussion Of the extent to which the
warship could replenish her supplies
in an American port.
In view Of Guam's TemOteness from
any German port, the decision to in
tern was expected. but in the mean
time Captain Maxwell, governor of
the far distant naval station, was
instructed to observe strict neutrality
in all his dealings with the German
commander.
Little is known of the Cormorant
here except that she is converted
cruiser of 5000 tons displacement
acquired by Germany from Russia.
Information as to how Germany aC-
quired the vessel from her present
enemy is not obtainable. It is sup
posed the ship has been employed by
the Germans as a destroyer of com
merce in the Pacific.
At first this vessel was believed
here to be the unprotected cruiser
Cormoran, vessel Of only 500 tons
displacement, but Captain Maxwelrs
later message announcing the decision
Of the craft to intern corrected that
impression. This is the second Ger
man warship to intern in American
waters since the outbreak Of the war.
The other is the Geier, interned at
Honolulu some time ago. The Of
fivers and men Of the vessel win have
to remain interned until the close Of
the war unless the allies consent to
their parole.

this did not occur until four years
