Jnterned German Liners
/ Should not be Allowed
to Fly U. S. Flag
LONDON INTERESTED
Declared to be Void Under Declara-
ton Which Was Signed by the
United States and Germany.

London, July 13-The allies, it is
said, will consent to no arrangement:
between Germany and the United
States by which interned German
) liners may resume their sailings un-
der the American flag with a German
American understanding that they
carry no contraband to England.
Cable dispatches from the Ber-
lin bureau of the United Press re.
porting that the German foreign Of
flee had approved such proposal,
excited keen interest among officials
today.
But it is the unanimous opinion
that both the British and French
foreign Offices will state fatty to
Washington, if such a proposal is for
mally made, that it Cannot be enter
tanned by the allies.
Officials here point ont that such g
transfer would be void under chapter
V. of the declaration OF London, sign.
ed by both the United States and
Germany, which reads in part:
"The transfer Of an enemy vessel
to a neutral flag effected after the
outbreak of hoStilities is void, un-
less it is proved that such transfer
was not made in order to evade the
consequences to which an enemy YES
sci, as such, is exposed. There IS,
however, an absolute presumption
that a transfer is void if alright 70
repurchase or recover the vessel Is
reserved to the vendor"
The German foreign Office 1t is
pointed out in London, does not even
suggest the sale of the interned Ger
man liners to the United States bAs
proposes a temporary transfer of con-
troll. The "absolute presumption re.
ferred to in the last Declaration Of
london, therefore, would have full
effect. The Consequences to which
an enemy vessel: would be exposed
naturally means capture.

USED BARK AS SHIELD.
Serious Charge Made by American
Sailors Against German
Submarine

Liverpool, July l3-How an Ameri-
can ship is alleged to have been used
as Shield by. a German submarine
for the sinking of another vessel i<
the story related by members Of the
crew of. the Americap bark: Normandy
which has arrived here from Gulf
port, Miss.
The story is that the Normandy
was stopped by a German submarine
80 miles southwest of .Tuskar Roci;
off the southeast coast of Ireland
Friday night. The captain was call
ed aboard the submarine, where his
papers were examined and found to
show that the ship was chartered by
an American firm January .. :.
The captain Of the bark, 1t was as
serted, was allowed to return to, the
Normandy. but under the threat that
his ship would be destroyed unless
ne stood by and obeycd orders. These
orders. it was stated, were that he
was to act as shield for the sEh-
marine, which lay around the side OF
the bark, hiding itself from an app
preaching vessel.
! This vessel proved to he the Rus
! siau steamer Leo. Presently, tfc
submarine submerged and proceeded
around the bow of the Normandy, 50
/ the story went, and ten minutes later
,, the crew of the Normandy saw the
Leo blown up.
Twenty-Five persons were on board
of whom eleven were drowned, lnclud-
ing three stewardesses. Those saved
| included three Americans, Walter
Emery. of North Carolina, Harry
| Clark. of Sierra and Harry Whitney
of Camden, n. j.
All these three men when inter-
viewed correlated the above story.
They declared that no opportunity
was given those on board the Leo
for saving life.
The Leo was bound from Phlta-
delphia for Manchester with gene
ral cargo.
The captain of the Normandy tod
the survivors he would have liked t1
signaled their danger to them, but
that he dared not do so because his
uninsured ship would then have been
instantly sunk.

aged fifty, and her daughter Eula,
aged twenty-five, when alone in their
| home st Rappahannock Academy,
early yesterday are being rounded
up.
James and Lewis Coleman and
Clarence Roy were lodged in jail here
by Sheriff Gill
The ladies are in highly nervous
state and are under attention of DR..
J. NJ. Holloway. Their recollections
of the night are vague. They re-
| member being awakened in their up
stairs rooms by presence of negro
. men in their bed room. A vigorous
fight ensued the women screaming
and resisting. The negroes were fore
ed from the room into the hall, and
the door was barricaded with chif-
fonier.
The negroes went from the house
supposedly through the kitchen win.
dow. which they had forced in enter
ing.
Then to intimidate the women from
further calling to neighbors for help
bricks were hurled through the win
dows Of the room.
A ladder was used, presumably to
'e-enter the room. Mrs. Coleman and
her daughter pushed the ladder from
it's place repeatedly in face of flying
bricks and breaking glass, until the
noise of the struggle brought T.
Steven, neighbor, to the scene.
All occurred in the darkness and
the woman have not yet positively
identified the apprehended negroes
as their assailants.
Two clues were left. one being d
piece of cloth torn by Mrs. Coleman
from the shirt of her assailant, the
other being a rag which had been APP
oarently used by one Of the negroes
as sock.
It is reported that one of the last
negroes taken has hole in his shirt
into which the piece torn by Mrs. /,
Coleman positively fits. The rag used
for the SOCK mas shoe nail marks and
other impressions which will be
means of identifying the wearer.
All the negroes arrested are OF a
rang of the shiftless sort.

SEES HOPE IN LEAGUE
Germany; Believes There Will Be a
Prolonged Balkan Neutrality

Berlin: July 1S-German diplomats
express confidence today that the
Forthcoming conferences of Balkan
rulers at Athens will, result in a joint
decision for prolonged neutrality on
the. part; of, Roumania, Greece and
Bulgaria.
The foreign office has no official ad-
vices that the meeting has been ar
ranged, but the; report is accepted
here as: true. Dispatches from the
Balkans for several days have re-
ported that the three neutral states
were considering joint action and that
their.decision probably would be made
known within few weeks.
The allies latest offer to obtain
Roumania's Intervention having been
rejected it is understood here that
the Bucharest statesmen are now
considering two separate proposals
from Germany and Austria. One OIL
fers certain concessions in return for
Roumania's continued neutrality; the
other pledees territory in case. she m
tervenes on the side Of the Austro-
Germans.

WANDERING JEW RETAINED.
Has Been Travelling $4,000 Miles or
Ocean for $45.

New York.-Nathan Cohen, who, as
an insane person, travelled more than
$4,000 miles on a $45 steamship ticket
because neither this country, from
which he vas deported, nor Brazil,
from where he emigrated, would admit
him, has ended his travels. He was
to have started back to Brazil on his
fourth round trip aboard the steamship
Vasari of the Lamport and Holt line
Sunday, but friends took him off the
vessel five minutes before she sailed.
They presented a stay to the order
of deportation which was secured at
Washington.
1t was learned several days ago that
a man named Nathan Cohen was a
member of the Knights of Pythias
lodge in Jacksonville, Fla. A repre-
sentative of the lodge came here and
found out that the Cohen detained on
board the Vasari was the same man.
The Hebrew %Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America was commune
Gated with and 1t was then learned
that Cohen became insane after his
entrance to this country as the result
of a series of business troubles. This
fact was communicated to the immi.
grafton officials at Washington and
the stay was issued.
