Clearance Papers.

San Juan, Porto Rico. March %
The German merchant steamer Oden-
valid. which attempted to leave port
without obtaining clearance papers,
was stopped as she was passing out
of the entrance to the harbor by two
shots across her bow from a 5-inch

Permission TO sail was refused the
Odenwald by the collector, pending in
structions from Washington. The
Odenwald has been at San Juan since
Aug. 6. She was bound for European
ports from the West Indies with
freight and passengers and sought ref
uge here. Three days ago she began
coaling and taking on provisions.
Failing to obtain the necessary clear
ance papers, her commander apparent
ly decided to risk the attempt to put to
sea. A heavy gun on MORO castle
sent W. shots across her bows by way
of warning, but it was not until the
machine gun opened a direct fire that
the steamer stopped and headed back
to port.

Line italians Called.

London, March 23.-The relations
between Italy and Austria are beliey-
ed to have reached an acute stage. A
dispatch from Rome a y Austrian
and German subjects have been adj
vised by their consuls to leave Italy
in the shortest possible time and that
a number of Germans who recently
arrived in Italy are being watched be-
cause of the suspicion that they are
military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts to secure
the continued neutrality of Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory to her were not meet
ing with success. Italy, it was said,
was demanding that the territory be
handed over to her at once but that
the Teutonic allies desire to make the
transfer after the war.
italians Called to Colors.
Following this came reports that
Austria had commenced strengthen
ing her southern frontier, and, accord.
ing to a dispatch received at Paris
from Rome, Italian officers of all arms
belonging to the first line, who have
been on half pay, have been called to
the colors.
In military circles here this order
is considered significant, it being con-
tended that these officers belong to
the public administration, from which
they would not be called until the sit.
uation was serious. No Austrian news
on the subject is available In London,
the censor in that country having, it
is said, prohibited any comments.

ed as having said that the Greek gov
eminent had received all guarantees
and to have indicated that the coun.
try was about to engage in some en-
terprise.
AS the chief objection to former Pre-.
mier Venizelos' policy for helping the
allies against Turkey was declared to
have been that Greece had no guar.
antees that she would receive ade-
quate compensation this statement of
the minister Of marine is considered
In high circles in London as an init.

Between lis and 3 o'clock in the
morning four ~Zeppelins started toward
Paris from the direction of Compiesne,
following the valley of the Disc. Two
were compelled to return before
reaching Paris, one at Ecoven 90
miles north of Paris), the other at

Paris. The other two were attacked
by anti-aircraft guns and only passed
over outlying districts OF the north,
western part of Paris and neighboring
suburbs. They withdrew after havin%

did not explode. The damage done
was ~unimportant. Seven or eight per

craft defense opened fire upon the Yep
pelins, which were constantly kept il.
Illuminated by searchlights. One ap-
peared to have been hit. The aero
plane squadron took part in the action,
but mist hampered pursuit.
Summing up, the Zeppelin raid on
Paris was a complete failure. 1t only
served to demonstrate how well the
defensive arrangements work. The
population was calm. On their way
back the Zeppelins dropped a dozen
~incendiary or explosive bombs on Com
