While Some Have Fears OF Ships
Safety, Others Think Engine
Trouble II Chusc Of Delay.
LINER FIFTEEN DAYS OVERDUE
Big Graft Departed From Liverpool
November %, and Since that Time
No News Has Been Received re-
garxlfng it's Safety.

New York. Dec 2s-The big Lam
port and Holt liner Voltaire Is still
listed as overdue on the maritime ex-
change. Up to a late hour tonight the
local once OF the line had received no
word that would throw any light on
the fate of the vessel or the lao men,
bers Of her crew. The liner is now
fifteen days late.
While grave fears for the safety
of the ship and her crew were openly
expressed in shipping circles today. Of
flcials Of the line refused to give up
hope. They still cling to the theory
that the ship has met with a mishap
TO her engines and is drifting about
in the Atlantic.
In this connection they propound-
ed a new idea to account for her non
appearance. 1t was to the effect that
other vessels are stunning her in fear
that she might be the German raider
which for the last month has been re-
ported lurking in shipping lines.
David Cook, manager of the line to-
day said:
The Adriatic ran away from a big
ship on her way over here last week.
They were sure from the ships be-
havior that she was the German raid
er so often reported. but the descrip-
ton that her officers gave was a per-
feet description OF the voltaire.
Not one ship has been sunk since
the beginning Of the war which was
not reported within the next two or
three days Therefore I do not be-
lieve the voltalre has been torpedoed. -
Mr.. Cook was Of the opinion that
the voltAire - drifting hslplessly
owing to engine trouble and waiting
for some vessel to come in sight in
order to signal It With flags and avoid
using wireless. To use wireless under
tho circumstances. he was convinced
would be to invite submarine attacks
The Voltaire left Liverpool Novem-
Der IS. and has not been heard of
since. She carried nd passengers and
was IN ballast on her way to this
port. About one-third Of her crew are
Americans. according to belief OF the
local agents.
The report circulated early today
that n White Star liner was overdue
proved to be incorrect. Records of the
Maritime Exchange failed to show
any vessel of that line overdue.
