Is Third of the
Big Liners Sunk:
Others Titanic
and LuSitania

New York, Nov. 22.-The loss of the
Britannia makes the third vessel of tht
larger type of ocean liners to be lost
since the building of giant passenger
carrying ships for transatlantic
trade began. The first was the Titan
ic, sunk on her maiden trip to New
York by striking an iceberg. Then
came the sinking of the Cunard liner
Lusitania by a torpedo off the Irish
coast.
Maritime records show that there
are now left six of the big vessels reg
istering over $1,000 tons which were
plying the Atlantic before the war or
were at that time about ready for
service. OF these, two are owned by
Germans, the Vaterland, 54242 tons.
and the Imperator $1,000 tons. The
others are the Cunard liner Aquitania
(45.347 tons) and Mauretania (31.93S
tons), the White Star liner Olympic.

in England for the Holland
Line and recently reported as having
been taken over by the British gov

/ None of these ships is now in the
regular transatlantic trade either
having been laid up or diverted to

Attention was first called to Marie's
case when she was found wandering

The 16-year-old girl said she had lost
her job in the Bates mill and for this
reason feared to go home. More than
that, she positively refused to go home,
and would not tell her name or the ad-
dress Of her parents.
The best the officers could do was
turn her over to the custody of per-
sons OF her nationality and these peo-
pie. in turn. could do no better than
send her to St. Mary's hospital in

In the hearing before Judge Curran,
marie reasserted her claim that all the

from her by her parents and that she
was not properly clothed and fed It an,

charge of allowing a child of school age
to work.

underfed. Marie lacked not for spirit. She
told Police Matron L'Heureux that she
had rather drown herself than return

For time Judge Curran considere1

cause the child to be taken from the Gus
tody of the parents, as they insisted that
she should return home, but as the papers
were being made out the parents volun-

This was the course pursued. Marie has
been given her time. She can expect no
support from her parents; they can ask
no services of her. She has been placed
in the custody of Police Matron L'Heur-

suitable place to stay.
