BRITISH OFFICER TAKES SOL
DER FROM VESSEL WHILE
EN- ROUTE TO WASHING
TON UNDER ORDERS.
WAS REMOVED AT JAMAICA
Washington Has Not Yet Re-
ceived Full Report of Affair
and Consequently Nothing
Definite Is Known.

NEW YORK, JAN. 14-Albert
Clark, a private in the Fifth United
States infantry was removed from the
steamship Santa Marta at Jamaica
by a British neutarlity officer, accord
ing to passengers who arrived here
pm the Santa Marta today. After be-
ing detained ashore sevral hours
Clark was allowed to return to the
ship and proceed here.
Clark, who had served 10 months
in the Canal zene, was proceeding to
Washingtons under orders TO report to
he adjutant general and was in full
Uniform when he was temporarily re
lies the American flag.
This is said to be the first time
United States soldier mas been re-
moved under similar conditions from
IN American vessel since the war of
1872.
When the Santa Marta stopped at
Jamaica en- route from Colon to New
York British neutrality officer
boarded the vessel and closely ques-
ioned all passengers as to their
nationality. Clark sa id he was born
near Vienna, but had taken out his
first American citizenship papers
some time ago.
The neutrality officer left the ship
without comment on Clark's case,
but shortly afterwards passengers
said three negro soldiers in uniform
soarded the Santa Marta and told
Clark to accompany them ashore.
Subsequently Clark said he was
aiken to what is known as the lower
concentration camp on the outskirts
Of Jamaica and there closely ques-
toned by the commanding officer.
While he was absent American
passengers on the Santa Mrta de-
3ided to appeal to the American con
sui, but before this could be done
Clark returned.
CLARK said he would make a full
report of the incident to the war de-
partment.

CAMDEN COUNTY
MAKES REPAIRS
IN HER ROADS
GASOLINE eOAT is BEING USED
IN FERRY WORK AT WOODBlNE
AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
ARE ANNOUNCED.

Brunswick people are greatly in
gasoline power boat, for the handling
of traffic at Woodbine, has just been
installed and that Camden county is
making a number of improvements on
its automobile road which is a por
ton of the great highway from Savan-
nah to Jacksonville. The gasoline boat
service. it is also announced, does not
only provide better service for cross
ing the Satilla river but it also
means that it is not possible for an
auto to cross dav or night In the past
it was almost impossible for a machine
to be transferred after dark, because
of the danger in making the crossing.
The following sent out from Woodbine
about the gasoline boat and improve
ment of roads, will be of interest:
"The ferry at Woodbine on the Sa-
tilla river has recently acquired a
gasoline power boat, which greatly ia
cilitates the handling Of traffic at this
point. In addition to this night crew
has been put on and persons desiring
to cross the river can do so at any
tins during the day or night.
"A change in the road has been made
at WOOdbine the route now passing
through this town, crossing the railr-
road at the Seaboard depot and paral-
leling the railroad south for a distance
of two miles, cutting out several bad
turns and wet places.
The coastwise route will alwys be
better maintained than a route farther
inland on account of the ease with
which shell can be secured to hard
surface the roads. The commissioners
of Camden county having proven that
shell can be procured and hauled out
on the roads cheaper than the same
amount of sand.
at is a safe prognostication that
within a few years the whole route
from Savannah to Jacksonville will be
hard surfaced with she'll"

erta, who died here last night, had
not been announced today The pos
sibi!ity of burial in Mexico, the land
of his birth and from which he was
an exile, is being considered.
Gen. Huerta had been ill for nearly
six months, his illness first becmoing
marked soon after his incarceration
as federal prisoner at Fort Bliss last
July, Attending physicians attributed
death to a complication of liver COM
plants
The generals condition first became
alarming last fall, and he was trans.
ferred from Fort Bliss to his home in
El Paso. Apparently improved, after
stay at home, he again was removed
to the fort Shortly after Christmas
physicians recommended the immedi-
ate removal to his home again. From
that time on his decline was rapid.
Only two days ago a federal grand
jury in San Antonio, Tex. returned
indictments against Huerta charging
conspiracy to violate the neutrality
laws of the United States.
Gen. Bravo, a close friend, speak
ing of the treatment Of Americans in
Mexico during Huerta's reign, recalled
instructions contained in dispatch
sent oto him by Huerta at the time the
American marines were landed at
Vera Cruz, in April, 1914, an dgiving
instructions to Bravo to protect the
lives and property of American citi-
zens. The telegram read:

sary to the end that under your strict
responsibility you protect the lives

teregroi have suspended hostilities for
the purpose of discussing arrange
ments whereby further warfare on
Montenegrin soil Should be stopped
may be based simply on the fact that
the Austrian advance in Montenegro
has become SO slow that suspicion of
a suspension of hostilities is naturally
{ aroused Many military critics, how
ever, are of the opinion that Mon
tenegro is in such position that
Some form of arrangement with her
adversary has become imperative.
Speculation is rife as to the atti-
tude which Italy has adopted with
regard to the invasion of Montenegro
by the Austrians, which constitutes
a grave menace to Italian interests.
The fact that Italys superior fleet did
not prevent an Austrian squadron
from assisting in the reduction of
Mount Lovcen, which dominates the
mented upon, though experts admit
that there is not sufficient basis of
information from which to draw de-
ductions in the matter and they sug-
gest that Italy's action in the pres
ent juncture should be awaited before
judgment is passed, and that action,
they point out, would naturally be
kept secret as long as possible.
News of the developments in the
operations in Galicia and Bessarabia
is awaited with much interest here
and it is observed that both sides are
unusually reticent with regard to de-
yelopments. Austria usually sends
out the first information on the mill
tary activities in that region, but be
yond a general review of the Russian
offensive movement she gives today
but little light on the happenings on
her eastern front.
