commissioned by President Wilson yes
terday governor of Samoa, is bear?
ing to the people of the islands the
personal thanks of the President for
their offer of aid to the United States
in the event of war with Mexico. In
his letter to the governor the President
wrote:
THE Secretary of the Navy has
placed before me your letter of Sep
TENDER 20, 1914, in which you report
that upon the receipt of news in
American Samoa that there was posi-
bility of hostilities against Mexico just
prior to the taking of Vera Cruz the
governor was informed by the high
chiefs of American Samoa that the
services of the natives of America n
Samoa were at his disposal for such
duty at home or abroad as was desired
by the United States government
This intelligence is highly pleasing
to me, and desire you to so inform the
high chiefs and people of the various
districts of American Samoa"
The President also wrote his thanks
to the governors of the eastern and
western districts of Samoa for the aid
rendered by natives when the L. S. S
Princeton suffered an accident which
! made it necessary to beach her on the
Island of Tutuila.
They worked night and day for three
days in saving the ship, and refused

The British government has not re-

Department that the cotton ship Dacia
be allowed to make one trip to Rot

liver her cargo, with the understand
ing that no legal right shall be there

Although the department has not
abandoned hope of a safe conduct, it
appears probabl the owners will be
advised to undertake the cruise to
make a test case which can be dealt
with automatically.
1t is felt that after a prize court
has acted and some sort of legal pro-
nouncement has been obtained, it Will
be easier to settle finally complicated
questions arising out of the attempt
to transfer to American registry ships
