HOOKING IS HELD
BY CANADIANS
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Ameri-
can steamer Llama was seized by a
British prize crew and afterward run
aground off the coast of Scotland yes
terday. according to a report today
to the state De. artment by the Ameri-
can consul at Dundee. Scotland No
reasons for the seizure Of the vessel
we're given.
The seizure of another American
vessel, the Hooking, by British war
ship was also reported today to the
Stale Department. American Consul
Young. of Halifax, wired that the
Hooking was brought into Halifax yes
terday IN command of a British prize
crew after having been halted by
British warships patrolling the Amer
ican coast OFF New York.
Consul Young merely reported the
arrival of the vessel under British
authority and that he would send
details later regarding the seizure.
His message did not report the cause
Of the British warships action.
The Llama went aground at Skee
Skerries Westray Her condition is not
serious. Consul Young, at Halifax, did
not report the seizure of the Danish
ship Hamborn.
State Department officials in the alb
scence of complete reports from the
American consul. would not attempt to
explain the seizure They indicated
that the seizure may be the beginning Of
new British policy regarding neutral
ships suspected of being engaged in Ger
man trade. The Hooking formerly was
the Danish vessel Cironiland and was
transferred to American registry. She
was said TO be among the ships black.
listed by England in a recent order pro.
hibiting use by BrIush merchants OF
certain neutral ships suspected of being
in unneutral trade.

The plot of land sold to the powder

which the DUPONT Company lso has
bought. has a frontage of 42ls feet,
giving the powder company 911s feet

Mr. &c 'pson in his statement

THE soceed5 from the sale of our

dormitory purposes. This extension
will increase orr capacity so per cent.

It could be used at once, as we now
