BRITISH Deny
HOSPITAL SHIPS
CARRY TROOPS
Admiralty Declares Vessels
Utilized 0nIv For Wound
ed and Nurses

LONDON, Eng For the second
time the British admiralty denies the
German report to the effect that the
British are using hospital vessels for
the transportation Of war munitions
and troops and that they are being
utilized other than in hospital work,
il is stated today The statement de-
clares that the hospital vessels trans
port only i'll or wounded soldiers and
nurses and members of the medical
stats. To prove the inaccuracy of the
German statement, it is declared that
only forty-two vessels are being used
for hispital purposes, instead of sew.
enty, In plying to and from the Medi-
terranean, as alleged by the Germans.
All the ships, the admiralty says,
are ballasted to secure safety, but
they are not deeply laden. They are
painted, it is declared, as required
by the Geneva convention. The an
nouncement closes:
Previous experience suggests this
series of falsehoods foreshadows at
tacks on British hospital ships by Ger
man submarines"
The foregoing statement is the sec
ond denial issued by the British admi-
rally of the report that British hos
pital ships were being used for con-
veying troops, munitions and other
war material The report which was
sent out from Berlin on November II
by the Overseas News Agency said:
: According to news from Spain, the
number of English hospital ships en-
route for the Mediterranean shows a
strange increase lately. 1t is also no.
ticed that many of the hospital ships
are deeply laden. Apparently they
are carrying ammunition, war mate
rial and troops"
A statement issued by the British
admiralty on November IA charaeteriz-
ed the Berlin report as absolutely
false" and added:
British hospital ships always have
been and always will be used under
the conditions prescribed by the &c.
neva and the Hague conventions"

AN OYSTER Law. TANGLE.

The fact that an obsolete law relating
to the catching of oysters in the Mispil-
lion River has been Incorporated in the
new Revised Code, was disclosed here
when Lee Jackson, John Short and Jack
Klngtel, all of Bowers Beach, were
brought before Justice of the Peace
James W. Cannon, on Thursday, Janu-
ary 2lst, charged with violating the
oyster longing laws as relating to the
Mlspllllon River. The charge wss
brought against the men by Jesse Smith,
an oysterman who tOngs in this river.
The law in question does not allow the
longing for oysters in the Mispillion
River unless a special license of so, in
addition to the regular license required
by the state is paid. The law had cen
superseded by other laws and was not
IN use for years past, until the first cf
TINS year when the Revised Code went
into effect. Just how it was resurre ted
and Incorporated in the Code has not
been made known. The men accus ed
acknowledged that they were longing IN
the Mlsplllion. butstated thatit had been
their custom for several years past. They
showed a letter from the Oyster Reve-
nue. Collector which stated that they
were at liberty to tong in any stream in
the state. After listening to the evil
dence in the case, Esquire Cannon sus-
pended sentence under the condition
that the men would refrain from tong
ing in the Mispillion River in the future.
This they readily promised to do. This
particular law seems to conflict with the
other oyster laws, which give the oyster
men the privilege of longing in any
stream upon the payment of the REQUIRED
fee. 1t is more than likely that the
natter will be brought before the pres
ent legislature in order that the conflict
nay be eliminated.
