WILSON DEMANDS
OIL SHIPS RELEASE
President Directs FOrccful Steps
Against the British
Seizures.
PAGE Is ORDERED TO ACT

WARRINGTON, Oct. 23-Bcfore leaving
for Pittsburg tonight President Wilson
passed more than an hour in conference
with acting Secretary OF state Lansing
1t Is understood that one OF the principal
topics of the conference was the inter
ference by Great Britain with American
oil carrying vessels
The President has kept himself in
formed of all the details of the cases of
the oil ships seized by Great Britain and
has directed that tho State Department
demand of Great Britain their release
instructions to demand the release OF
the Standard OIL ship Platuria were sent
to Ambassador Page this afternoon from
the state Department.
This action places the United States on
record in regard to both American oil
ships which the British authorities have
under seizure-the Platuria at Stornoway,
Scotland, and the Brindllla at Halifax,
N. $. A third oil ship, the John -.
Rockefeller. was released by the British
yesterday on demand OF the United states.
In the cases of the Brindilla and Pla-
turia 1t is understood that the British
will allege that the transfers of these
ships from German to American registry
were Invalid. In that they were for the
purpose of evading the consequences OF
the war, having been effected after the
beginning OF hostilties.
The answer of the United States 70
this contention will be that both vessels
were owned by subsidiary companies OF
the Standard OH Company Mt the begin
ming of tho war. Their purchase by the
Standard OIL Company after the open
ing of the war. 1t Is asserted, constitutes
no real change OF ownership. and the
transfers of these ships from German &c
American registry. II Is commended, were
valid under the rules contained in the
| Declaration OF London
1t was learned to-day, in response &c
the protest of the United States against
the seizure of the Brindila, that the
British Government has called on tho su
case of the ship which Is the subjec
OF prize court proceedings. When this
