was lifted today.
II Is possible the port may be
closed again tonight as II was last
night. Two American destroyers
are OF the harbor TO enforce nsu-
trxliiy.
Several vessels were turned back
after the closing order was issued
last night. but so far as known
none had resumed their voyages to
day.
All German ships. which include
the vaterland, the President Lin
coin. Frederik Der Gross. Prince
Eftel Friedrich and others were un-
der close surveillance today. Extra
police and deputies were assigned
10 the piers where these ships are
tied up.
In Hoboken. where most Of the
German ships are lying, an extra
guard OF policemen was stationed
around the piers.
The huge vaterland. the worlds
largest ship. Ia the only one OF the
German vessels. according TO re-
ports, which has coal enough for

OF that, II was believed. there would
be no chance for a dash 10 sea by
any OF the vessels.

were taken with a view TO using

II was stated autboritatively that
