Will ASK BRITISH
TO HASTEN CASES
Washington Government Seeks
Early Action to Effect Release
Of U. S. Ships.
HOLD DELAY UNNECESSARY.
Not a Single Case Through the
Court, Though Some Ships Were
Seized Months Ago.
HOLD DELAY UNNECESSARY

Washington, D. c., April 13.-
Moved by the appeals for relief from
the owners of American ships and
and cargoes now held in British
ports mainly at Kirkwall, the state
, department is preparing further rep
Presentations to the British govern
ment requesting a speeding up of
the machinery of the prize courts.
So far not a single American ship
or cargo has passed through the
British prize courts, although many
of those held were seized months
ago.
One typical case is that of the
steamship Antilla which has been
tied up at Dundee, Scotland, since
Feb. 2S, unable to get before a prize
court. Her cargo was composed
mainly of cattle food consigned to
Sweden.
Both the Danish and British con-
suIates in New York certified that
there was nothing in the Antilla's
cargo that was not specifically cov-
cred by the Swedish embargo. In
other words, none of the goods could
be exported from Sweden to Ger
many. ....
The state department felt that I'M
der the circumstances the British au-
thorities should have ordered imme-
date release Of the vessel and her
cargo. "
Nearly the same conditions are
said to exist in the case of the Amer
lean steamer Joseph W. Fordney,
whose owners yesterday appealed to
the state department for her release.
She was seized off the Norwegian
coast and taken into Kirkwail al
though, according to the evidence
before the department, she should
not have been detained.
Notice was yesterday received
from the British government that in
case contraband is found in the car
go of detained ships, all of the ex-
penses of loading, unloading and
dockage will be charged to the ship
pers. In view of the wide range Of
the British contraband list, few car
goes can hope to escape these
charges.
The note which the state depart
ment probably will address to the
British government in regards to the
detentions also will call attention to
this situation and remind the Brit
ish government of the promise con-
tanned in the note transmitting the
order in council that everything pos
sible would be done to avoid unnec-
essary interference and delay to
American commerce.

in landing crossed strip of sand and
managed to gain some cover. None OF
the boats was able to get off again.
They and their crews were destroyed
upon the beach.
"A company of the Munster Fusileers
led the way but few reached the further
side of the beach through the hail of
bullets which poured from both tanks
and the front. AS the second company
followed on an Incorporated pier the
lighters gave way in the current and
the end nearest the shore drifted into
deep water. Many of those who es-
capped from the lighters were drowned by

tremely heavy loss from shrapnel, rife,

of Krithia. Later In the day april ~

The British were obliged to intrench.

tacks. supported by field artillery. Owing
to the confguration of the ground the
guns of the supporting ships could rem
der little assistance.
Throughout the afternoon and all
through the night the Turks made as
saults upon the British line. The Brit
ish repeatedly counter-charg with the
bayonet and always drove off the enemy
for the moment, but the Turks were
vastly superior numerically. Fresh
troops took the place of those who from
time to time fell back temporarily, and
by a. m. of the 18th only half of the
Scottish Borderers remained.
