For Civilians

The cargo consists of grain, meats
cordins to the shippers. for consump-
lon by the civilian population Of
Germany and will not be sold direct
~ or indirectly TO the German govern
ment or its armed forces. NorvIn
Lingheim, counsel here for the St.
Louis company, said today that the
shippers were prepared 10 obtain from
the German government, if necessary.
with view to qUieting possible fears
by the British or other allied govern
rpents, a guarantee that only nom
combatants will receive the Wilhelm
mas cargo.
Guarantee Filed
A guarantee 10 this effect was filed
with the United States custom au-
throitics today in the form of an affi-
davit by W. T. Brooking, represent
ing the shippers, and Mr.. Lindheim
said the shippers were prepared 10
any amount. Mr.. Brooking will sail
next Tuesday in the Holland
can liner Pottsdam for Rotterdam.
Thence he will proceed to Hamburg,
arriving in advance Of the Wilheimina.
In Hamburg Mr.. Brooking plans to
dispose of the cargo, If It escapes
seizure by warships, in retail lots TO
private concerns. From the mills
which buy the grain and from the
shoopkeepers who buy the rest of the
cargo, Mr.. Brooking will, he said to-
day, probably obtain written guaran-
tees that the foodstuffs will be re-
disposed Of only through retail trad
ing with civilians and that the mill
itary and naval forces will not be
given or sold any part OF it.
The W1fhelminas captain, William
Brewer of Philadelphia. is an Amer
lean and her crew is American, except
for few Spanish and Scandinavian
oilers.
Sir Courtney ". Bennett, the British
consul general in New York, when the
sailing Of the Wilhslmina was brought
to his attention today, declined to dis
cuss the case.
Under the nose of British cruiser
watching at the gateway of New York.
the American steamship Wi1helmina,
which sailed today from New York with
her hold filled with food supplies for
Germany, passed out TO sea tonight and
unmolested laid her course for Hamburg.
After having her cornpasses adjusted
in the bay. the Wilhelmina dropped
down the Ambrose channel at nightfan
Six miles the eastward OF Ambrose light
ship the Wilhelmina sighted a two-funnel
British cruiser just under steerway and
with all lights out
The Wilheinina kept on her course.
With all lights burning, the merchant
man passed the warship, which did not
even speak the American. An hour lat
er the Wilhelmina, driving through q
thick snowstorm, was lost to view while
the cruiser. still lazily swinging back
and forth near the nghtship, contented
herself with playing her searchlight upon
several tramp tr.iEhte-s waiting for
pilots
