Time, Is Announcement
Vessels Change Course.

With the exception of the detention
Of the Italian steamship San Guglielmo
which was TO have left port at IL a. m
yesterday, there were no changes made
in the schedules of the steamships
bound for European and South Amer
can ports.
Reports were current that the White
Star liner Adriatic, the biggest steam
ship in this port now in service, would
be held here until all danger from sub
marine interference in the transatlan
tic lanes had passed. This was denied
at the company's Office yesterday
where IL was said she would go out
on schedule unless ordered by the
home Office to remain in port.
The Cunard Line agents yesterday
reiterated their declaration that their
merchantmen were armed and that
they had no fear of German subma-
rines.
Orduna to Sail on Schedule.
1--WE will have no sailing until the
departure of the Orduna, on October
81" said a representative of the line,
"and We are not going TO cross bridges
until we come to them. 1t is our i'm
preston that the Orduna will go out
on schedule"
Although the U-53 sank one of the
Holland-America Lines freighters, the
Blommersdijk, on Sunday off Nantucket,
it was stated at the company's office
yesterday all their vessels would con-
tinue to leave port on time.
"The Ryndam is due here on Sun
day and she will 90 out again on
October 49," said a representative OF
the line. 1--WE will continue to book
passengers and receive freight for her."
William Van Doom. general manager
of the line. said he could see no rea-
son for the sinking Of the BONNER
sdijk.
Fully 95 per cent Of her grain
cargo" he said, "was bought and paid
for by the Netherlands government.
The remainder of the cargo consisted
of about 1000 tons of general mer-
chandise consigned to the Neither
lands Overseas Trust. Here was a
neutral vessel plying between two
neutral ports. There was not the
slightest reason for the submarine to
sink her"
German Agents Feared.
Iouis Costa, manager of the Pierce
Line which delayed the departure OF
the San Gulielmo, said he would give
no advance notice as to when the yes
sci would sail as he believed agents OF
the German government and herman
sympathizers in this city were keeping
the IJ-53 informed of movements OIL the
enemy's vessels here, -,
The French Line, which will have no
sailing until the Espagne Departs LOT
Bordeaux, on October IA, maze no

agents are convinced the German sub
marines cannot long afford TO operate
near this port, and are loathe to upset
their sailing dates.
