TELLS OF TRIP
ABOARD LINER
BEING CHASED

Fred w. McC1ung, manager of the
Laurer drug store in this city, has
returned from an extended European
trip, having barely escaped suffering
from the war crisis. He was aboard
the steamship Mauretania on it's
record-making trip of four days and
seventeen hours across the ocean,
arriving at Halifax last Thursday.
Mr.. McClung reports that contrary
to some reports, DR.. ]. L. MacDowall,
of this city, was in London and in
good health when he saw the physi-
homeward trip 1t had been report
ed here that DR.. MacDowall was i'll
in a London hospital Mr.. McClung
saw DR.. MacDowall and DR.. D. l..
Morrison, of New Brunswick, at
Hampton Court on the afternoon of
July 80. The physicians then ap-
peared in good health and gay spirits.
They bid him bon voyage"
Mr.. McClung felt the eTects of the
great European war as the giant ship
Mauretania sped on across the Allan
tic on its recordsmashing trip Just
as though 1t was being chased. He
could not help but notice that on the
last night the decks of the vessel
were completely covered with can
vas and there was not a light on the
big vessel.
The destination of the vessel was
not known to the passengers, but it
was believed that the war situation
had caused a change in direction OF
its course. They noted that break
neck speed was being made. The
landing was made Thursday and Mr.
McClung returned here Sunday
night. He had been abroad about
eight weeks, during which he went
to Hamburg, parts of Sweden, spent
two weeks in Denmark and left Co.
penhagen for Berlin, where he spent
a week, then went to Cologne, to
Paris, where he spent week and to
London, where another week was
spent. He reports having had the
enced on any trip, having viewed
many of the historic ruins as we'll as
many of the beautiful, new features
in the old world. The war situation
was not serious when he left Europe.
By gazing at the moon, the tourist
noted that the steamer was changed
from the course it had been directed
over as America was neared. He no.
ticed that instead of going on a
straight line with the moon, the ves-
sci was turned almost ut right angles
with 1t. 1t then became evident to
him that the course was being
changed. Knowing through the In
genuity of wireless telegraphy that
war was raging in the hemisphere
which he and the other passengers
had left, they then realized for the
first time that transatlantic service
was being interfered with.
Three more Danish ships will leave
Copenhagen tomorrow and Thursday
for New York, bringing 5000 pas.
sengers to this country. The United
States of the Scandinavian-Amer
line, which left Copenhagen August
6, is due in New York August II
with hundreds of tourists from all
parts of Europe. A number of Perth
Amboy people are among them, ac-
cording to local agents.
Passage to Denmark and Norway
are still being booked here. T. R.

To Be ORDERLY
Special BY United Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire.
Mexico City, Aug. 11:-The de-
parture of President CarbaJal for
Vera Cruz, the dissolution of con-
gress and the arrival on the out
skirts of the capital of the constitu-
tilonalists officers of General Obre-
gon, who are expected to enter the
city in orderly manner, are imminent
developments. A majority of the
members of congress today sustained
the argument that Carbajal, rather
than resign, had to continue in office,
even if he removes to the American
lines at Vera Cruz, where, if neces-
sary, he can direct that portion OF
the army which evacuated the capt.
tai yesterday. Americans and other
nationals here feel assured that the
constitutionalists entry will be with
out disorder, duplicating in many re-
spects the entrance of Francisco
MadeTo four years ago.

pound over that of last week.
Wholesale dealers are at a loss to

biggest increase was noted on the
cheaper grades of meat, which are
popular at this time because any
class of beef, lamb or mutton is sell
ing at an exorbitant price.
