BOAT CARRIED
A GREAT CARGO
OF FOODSTUFFS
Was One of First to Sail For
Restricted Zone After Ger
many Made Threat
By Associated Press

New York, March IA. - The AL
gonquin, owned by the American Star
Line of this city.was recently transfer
red from British registry. She was
repor+- to have about eight Ameri-
cans in her crew.
The Algonquin was torpedoed and
sunk on March II, according to q ca
blegram received here to-day by the
owners. Where the torpedoing oc-
Cured was not mentioned in the mes
sage which came from Pensance,
France.
Worth a Fortune
The Algonquin, a freighter. was one
or the first American vessels to sail
from the United States after Germany
announced her submarine campaign of
unrestricted warfare.
Ofticers of the American Star Line
said the vessel was worth approXi-
mately s450,0O0 and that the cargo
consisting mostly of foodstuffs was
worth more than 81, 1,25 1000.
Ten Americans Aboard
There were ten Americans including
the captain on the Algonquin, the own
ers announced to-day.
She carried about 2 900 tons of car
go and was commanded by Captain A.
Nordberg, a naturalized American of
Norwegian birth.
When she left here on February 20
her owners expected her to reach the
submarine zone about March s. IT
was assumed here to-day that she
went considerably out of her course.
Captain Not Afraid
Prior to sailing the Algonouin's cap-
tain said he had no wear that his ves-
sci would be torpedoed.
L feel safer in sail through the
war zone on a vessel flying the Ameri-
can flag than 1 do trying to make nv
way about New York streets and dodg-
ing taxicabs," he said.

JITNEY HEARINGS
POSTPONED AFTER
HEATED ARGUMENT
Agree That All Jitneymen
Make Application For
Certificates

BY agreement of counsels for both
sides, the Public Service Commission
this morning continued the hearing of
the Harrisburg jitney case for three
weeks. The hearing was featured by
heated arguments.
The case was opened at $50, but
was adjourned at 10 o'clock for a spe-
cial conference between the ATTORNEYS
representing the jitney men and the
Harrisburg Railways Company. The
attorneys returned at IL o'clock after
one hours deliberation with the an
nouncement that an agreement had
been reached, on the ground that all
Jitney men make application for a GER
tihcate of public convenience. with
out admitting that they are common
carriers, or come under the jurisdic-
ton of the Public Service Commission.
The 1itneurs will be required to post
advertisements Immediately, and the
organization was granted the privilege
of advertising jointly.
AT the next hearing testimony will
be heard on complaint made by the
Harrisburg Railways Company as to
whether the jitney is common car
rier or not.
The Harrisburg Traction COMPANY
was represented at the hearing bv
Bailey and Wolfe, while the jitney or
ganization was represented by Oscar
b. Wtckersham. Individual titnev
men were represented by Robert Ro-
senberger. William A. Zerby and John
Armstrong Herman.
Heated debates marked the hearing
this morning. No sooner did an AT.
torney for the railway company pro-
cure the floor than a representative Of
the jitney men interrupted and vice
versa. Neither would accede to the
other. Consequently. the hearing was
conducted with difficulty.

ATTACK ON LINER
WILL NOT FORCE
NATION INTO WAR
Real Issue to Come When
Armed American Ship
Clashes With U-Boat
By Associated Press

Washington, March Il. = In the
absence of official dispatches on the
obstruction of the steamer Algonquin,
of1clals withheld comment, but the
unofi1cial view was that nothing in the
incident changes the situation between
the United States and Germany.
president Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in a state of
armed neutrality which with the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
with Germany is practically the last
measure possible short of war. Amer
lcan SHIPS now are being armed to de-
tend themselves against unlawful sub
marine attack. The general view to-
day is that arming of ships is the
only answer to submarine operations
short of declaration of war which
may be made only by Congress.
All Possible Steps Taken
The circumstance that the Algon-
gum carried foodstuffs which are con-
traband and that she recently was
transferred from British to American
registry, transaction Germany might
plead she would not recognize, are not
taken to outweigh the fact that the
ship was reported destroyed without
warning. Neither does the fact that
apparently no lives were lost mitigate
the situation.
But the real fact, as unofffciaIlv ex-
pressed, is that while the destruction
of an American ship in such a man
ner is very serious, the American
government already has taken all the
steps it can to meet such a case. un-
less it wishes to take the last step and
declare war
War Last Resort
The real issue of peace or war is ex-
pected to come when an American
armed ship has a clash with a German
submarine.
a series of distinctions of American
ships probably would arouse Congress
to a declaration of war, II indeed Ger
many should not declare war on the
United States as many expect, as a re-
suit of the first encounter with one
of her submarines.
Up to the present, in the absence OF
action by Congress, all that could be
done to meet such q case as the de-
struction of the Algonquin already has
been done. 1t is generally accepted
on first reports as not being the
overt act"

$4,000 English Saloons
to Close This Spring

London, March IA. Thirty thou
sand saloons in Great Britain will
probably be closed during the next few
months, according to the Mail The
measure is proposed as a solution of
the difficulty arising from the compul-
sorry restriction of the beer output and
the brewers are stated to be in prac-
teal agreement with the government
in regard to the remedy.
The closing of the saloons is said
to have been suggested by some of
the brewers themselves. They con-
tended that there were too many dis
tributing agencies and that a third
of them could be suppressed without
inconveniencing the public while such
a step would enable the liquor trade
to be conducted more economically.
