MRS. KREMEDAS IS

Detained 80 Days at Ellis

This City
GOVERNMENT REVOKES
DEPORTATION ORDER

Through the efforts of United States
Senator Willard Salisbury and John
Govatos, Mrs. V. Kremedas, mother Of
Gregore Kremedas. who keeps the
candy booth at Third and King
streets. and her two children we're
brought to this city by her son last
night after having been detained at
Ellis Island thirty-nine days awaiting
deportation. Senator Salisbury and
Mr.. Govatos were successful in having
the government reconsider Mrs.
Kremedas case after the authorities
at Ellis Island had ordered deporta-
ton, and procured entrance into this
country for her
Because Mrs. Kremedas had no
visible means OF support when she
and her two children arrived on the
steamer PATHS from Greece, and her
husband did not accompany her, the
immigration authorities refused to
permit her to enter the country. She
appealed to her son in this city, who
in turn enlisted the aid of Mr. Co
vatos, a fellow countryman. The lat
ter took the matter up with Senator
Salisbury who Immediately carried It
before the Department of Labor and
failing there to secure reconsidera-
ton Of the case by the immigration
authorities appealed to the acting sec
rotary Of the department.
With this official Senator Sauls-
bury was successful. Mr.. Govatos
had to testify before the board at
Washington. but the matter was
easily settled then. A provision made
when permission was given Mrs
Kremedas to enter this country was
that the children must be sent to
school and educated.

design TO control shipping, 30 as to in

directly aiding their opponents accord
ing 10 statement made by Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of War Trade.
Lord Robert admitted that even the
present rate Of destruction. without
considering the possibility Of a re-
sumption Of unrestricted submarine
warfare, meant a serious loss to the
worlds tonnage, and that consequent
ly Il could not be expected that Brit
ish coal or other British facilities
would be expended on ships carrying
goods to blacklisted firms. The Al.
lies will increase their shipping meas.

able. In making the best use Of avail

Germans succeed In destroying mer-
chant ships.
The Minister Of War Trade said that
as matter OF course the Allies would
be favored as regards the use of ton
mage and that neutrals engaged in
Entente Allied trade, or in unsuspect-
ed neutral trade. would be given the
next consideration. Neutrals suspect
ed Of unneutral acts. he added. would
not enjoy the usual facilities.
Lord Robert said that the answer
OF Great Britain TO the American Gov
ernment's protest against the seizure
