STEAMER DRINDILLA
SEIZED SECOND Time:
Standard Oil Tank Ship Is
Grabbed Off scotland-Will
Soon Be Released.

Halifax. n. s.. Jan. 2.-Word was
received here today that the American
tank steamer Brindilla, whose arrest
by a British cruiser and detention al
Halifax last October was the cause of
diplomatic correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain, re
Sulting in the steamers release, again
had been intercepted off the coast of
scotland and taken to Aberdeen. The
Brlndilla's first seizure off New York
last October, resulted in a vigorous
protest by her ownerS to the United
States government. At that time the
Brindiila had aboard a cargo of oil
and was bound ostensibly for Alexan-
dria, Egypt. a British cruiser cor
voyed her to this port. The British
suspected she carried contraband TO,
Germany.
The state department at Washington
made representations to the British
government which resulted in tho
Rrindilia's release, after she had been
detained at Halifax a week.

! SIGNIFICANCE OF "NoW." \


from 1OllIcT y.
That the world Is effecting a readJust-
ment of values at this time Is not to be
contested. Life. which seemed so signif-
cant a thing, proves to be no more than
smoke scattering upon the air or dried
leaves falling from the autumn trees.
Suddenly our little snug, kindly world has
been transformed by a ~frightful illumina-
ton, and the aspect of all known things Is
changed. In another age such an aware
ness might "a prompted men to excuses
of prodigality and self-indu1gence. But
one of the reassuring features Of the pres
ent appalling time is that this realization
seems to have had a quoting and sweet
ening effect. Men and women rush to
deeds of charity; they endcavor to show
by their own essential rightness that the
mad time Is not all mad; they try to prove
to themselves that the waters are not all
bitter. Indeed, now, If ever. should. friend
ships be drawn closer and family ties
bound faster with acts of consideration
and love. Now, if ever, the fortunate
homes of this land should decorate them
selves with gracicusness and unity. Now,
IL ever, hospitality should be extended.
Not hospitality of the board alone, but
hospitality of tho soul. 1t has been said
OF late that Europe's catastrophe is
Americas opportunity. That is true IN
more ways than one II now is the word
which the funeral pyres OF the battle
fields nave taught us to value above any
past or future possibility, let us make that
now" beautiful with kindlier and more
liberal living.
