al Manager Of Zion Institutions has just

some fine prize winners. Fruits Of all
kinds will also be accepted in this COM

zEALANDIA Case
British Searched American
Ship Without Clearance Pa
pers IN Mexican Waters.
CRUISER MAY SEIZE HER
Vessel Boarded Had Germans Aboard
and Bntons Say She Intended to
Py on Their Shipping.

The State Department has called upon
the United States consulate at Progreso,
Mexico, for further information with re-
gard to the forcible search of the steam
shi. Zealandia by men from a British
cruiser while the Zealandia was lying on
Progreso, In Mexican waters. Although
the neutrality Of Mexico was apparently
violated by the British and the rights of
an American ship invaded. certain cir
cumstances in the affair may result in no
action being taken in the matter by the
United States government.
According TO latest reports. the Zea-
landia is in the harbor of Progreso. while
the British cruiser is lying outside, ap-
parently awaiting an opportunity to seize
her II she moves from Mexican terri
torial waters.
The Zealandia is not In good standing
before the authorities of the United
States. Should she enter the Jurisdiction
Of the United States. action will be
brought against her for leaving Pensa-
cola, Fla. without clearance papers.
Furthermore, there is some reason to
believe that the Zealandia has armed
since leaving the United States port In
that event, II is pointed out, it might
be that the Mexican authorities at Pro-
greso were not in a position to force
her. as an armed ship, to leave Progreso
within twenty-four hours. as required by
her international obligations, and that
the action OF the British in sending a
searching party aboard OF her in Next
can waters might possibly be due to that
Circumstance.
Mystery Surrounds Zealandia.
There has been a great deal of mys-
terry about the Zeaiandia. British agents
are said to have obtained evidence indi-
eating that she intended to engage in an
attempt to destroy British vessels carry
ing oil from Mexican ports to England
II has been intimated that the British
naval forces would treat the Zealandia
as a piEate IL they ever caught her.
The Zealandia arrived at Pensacola
from New York early in October. At
Pensacola she was reported to have
taken on a crew consisting chiefly of
Germans II was alleged that these men
were German reservists. She also took
on board large quantities OF provisions.
An American flag which had been paint
ed on her hull was painted over. and
later it was reported that when at sea
she fiew the German colors.
She left Pensacola on the night of
October Z without obtaining clearance pa
pers. She was next located at Tampico,
Mexico. II was then reported that she
had on board a cargo Of resin 1t was
pointed out that this cargo could not be
destined for Mexico, but that II might

represented trades. where the values
cited were obviously inflated on both

set down as truly representative. and in
still other cases the facts were grossly
misrepresented. Quite frankly, Col.

portunity to dsabuse the minds OF the
committee of any idea that these were
