COLD WORKS HARDSHIP
Ragged Men Storm city's Missions

Ragged men, who for months have
sought employment in vain, are being
driven to the Home Relief Department
of the Emergency Aid Committee in the

Some of them beg for food, some crv
for 1t and others demand it.
While the open weather lasted thai,
suffering was not so intense. To sleen
outside now would mean death by freez-
ing, and so the city's missions are carrv-

German Cruiser Raids Brit
ish Shipping From Hay
tian Coast rotest to
Washington Expected.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-The German cruiser
Karlsruhe is now operating from a base
on the northwest coast of Haiti, near
Mole st. Nicholas, and is receiving sup
plies from American sources, according
to information received by the British
Admiralty today, Representations on this
matter may soon be made to the United
States, which Is said to have been in
formally advised of the situation.
Steamships from New York and New
Orleans are reported to have been taking
coal and provisions to Mole st. Nicholas
for the Karlsruhe for several weeks.
Inquiries made of the Haitian Govern
ment by the British Minister resulted
only in gaining an admission that the
Karlsruhe might be near Mole st. Nicho-
las but that nothing definite was known
because of the disturbed conditions in
Haiti.
While the Germans say that the Karls-
ruhe has sunk only II British vessels, it
is believed here that the number of her
victims is much larger. The French cable
lies between Port-au-Prince and Cape
Haitian, and between Mole St. Nicholas
and Cape Haytien cables have been cut,
according to advices received by the Ad-
mtralty. and this is believed TO have been
done by the Karlsruhe.
1t is known that year ago the Ger
man Government, seeking naval station
In the Caribbean, opened negotiations
with Hayti for base at Mole st. Nicho-
las which has one of the finest harbors
in the world. It is 400 miles from New
York and 1000 miles from New Orleans.
Intimation that the Karlsruhe was re-
ceivinS its supplies from port in Haytl
was contained In a report printed a |

EVENING LEDGER. |
NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.--The French |
Gable Company admitted today that its |
lines between Port Au Prince and Cape |
Haytien and between Cape Haytien and |
Mole St. Nicholas were not operating, but |
It denied having any information that
they had been cut by the cruiser Karls-
ruhe.
The company expects to have the cables
again in a short time.
