New York, Feb. 10:-When the
Cunard liner orduna reached Quar-
antine today, inbound from Liver
pool, her passengers declared she
had flown the American flag for near
ly twenty-four hours January 81
while passing through the Irish sea
The flag was hoisted at Captain Tay-
lor's orders an hour after the liner
started out of the Mersey and kept
1t flying until Monday morning. The
change of flags, the passengers say,
was made Immediately following the
receipt of wireless order from
shore, 1t was Saturday, January 81,
the day the boat sailed. that the big
German submarine U2I torpedoed
and sunk three steamers off Fleet
wood, to the north of Liverpool. The
first to be sunk, the Ben Cuauchen,
was sent to the bottom just about the
time the Orduna turned her nose out
of the Mersey into the irish sea. AT

Captain Had Been Warned.
Several passengers declared tha

that the captain had been warned by

also off the coast OF Ireland, and he
was to take all precaution to protect
his ship and mail.
The Cunard Steamship Company
in an official statement took issue
with the claims OF passengers tha,
Captain Taylor, master of the Or
duna, replaced the Union Jack with
the American for the trip across

General Manager Herman Winter, is

U. $. Flag Flying at Foremost.
AS usual the Orduna was flying
the American flag from her foremast
and the Union Jack from the aft
rail when she left Liverpool and she
was flying the same when she en-
tered the New York harbor. The
colors forward indicate the destina-
ton, aft the nationality of the YES
sci. There is no truth in the report
that Capt Taylor replaced the ma
tionality with the American colors. ("
Despite the statement passengers
insisted they observed the stars and

CAMPAIGN ENDS TOMORROW
Revival of Evangelist Reynolds At
Methodist Church Well Attended.
(By Rev. G. w. Gilman)


With the meetings of tomorrow the
revival sessions which have been
conducted by Evangelist Reynolds at
the Methodist church during the
past week will end.
Yesterday at $3.50 Rev. Reynolds
talked from the words of Christ TO
his disciples "Come and dine" He
said that many people today are liv
ing on the husks of the world, when
they could feast at the Masters table.
The lesson was taken from the gospel
of John 81 chapter. It was after
the Savior's resurrection, and the
disciples were very much discouraged.
Suddenly they saw the Master ap-
pear, and he told them to cast the
net on the right side of the. boat, and
they were successful with the net
full. Too many people are shing on
the wrong side of the boat. Mr.
Chapman sang an appropriate solo.
Last night Rev. Reynolds preached
about "The Savior Weeping Over
jerusalem" People today refuse to
come to the savior's sheltering arms,
and destruction finally comes to the
soul by making the great refusal.
Among the saddest words the Savior
ever uttered were Eye would not"
Mr.. Chapman sang Lord; I'm Com
ing Home" Two sought the altar
at the close Of the service. Rev.
Reynolds will preach tonight, and
Mr. Chapman will sing. All will re-
ceive hearty welcome at the SER

the conclusion that the Turks, when

Then it was decided that land opera
