SHIPS HELD IN PORT
U-BOAT ACTIVITY OFF U. S. HALTS
SHIPPING.
Only Allies Vessels That Are Armed
Ordered to Sail From
New England.

New York, Oct. lot seems doubt
full that the submarine raid will re-
suit in Il general tiCup of the shipping
of the entente nations i'll American
ports. but one of the most importan,
steamship companies controlling both
British and American vessels. the In
ternationaI Mercantile Marine com
pany, issued orders that no British
ships of that line should leave Atlantic
ports pending further orders.
This order stopped the Sailings of
all steamers of the White Star, At
lantic Transport, Leyland, Dominion
and Red Star lines, and the vessels of
the White Star-DOmniOn lines sailing
for Montreal and Quebec, The order
will not Interfere with the sailing of
the American line steamships or of
any of the company's vessels under the
American flag.
Officials of the Cunard French, and
of The Italian lines declared that their
passenger and freight vessels would
sail as usual, despite the submarine
menace. At the Cunard line offices 1t
was announced that no changes would
be made in the sailing dates of steam
ers until instructions We're received
from the main Office in Liverpool.
All Cunard vessels, it was pointed
out. are armed with 4.7-inch guns and
the German submarines thus far have
avoided vessels so armed. The .tIaunia
of the Cunard line. which sailed from
here Saturday after word had been re-
ceived of the arrival of the U-53 ut
Newport, carried one of these guns on
its after deck.
Officials of the French and Italian
lines said their ships, both freighters
and liners, were armed for defense.
The French liners carry 3h-inch guns
and the freight boats carry 3-inch
rapid-iire cannon. The steamers under
the Italian flag mount 3-inch guns. 1t
, was pointed out that the danger from
submarine attacks on the American
coast was not so great as that in the
war zone near European ports.
