Three Steamers Detained at Virgin

Washington, May 9.-The govern
ment is investigating the activities of
the steamer Manitowoc and other YES
sells of the American Transatlantic
company, which are said to have
carried supplies to German submarines
in the Atlantic. This was disclosed at
the navy department but no details of
the steps taken were given out.
The American Transatlantic COM
pany has offices in New York and Bos-
ton and its ships fly the American flag.
Officials here will not say what had
aroused their suspicious, but admitted
that the ships had been held for inves-
tigatlon at st. Thomas, Virgin islands,
by order of the navy department.
Both the state and justice depart
ments have been taking part In the In
vestigation.
Twenty-one of Crew Returning.
San Juan, Porto Rico, May 9.--There
are German submarines in the Atlantic
and until very recently they have
been supplied from the United States
by ships flying the American flag, ac-
cording to statements by members of
the crew of the steamer Manitowoc,
which for several weeks was detained
in the harbor Of st. Thomas. Twenty
one of the crew are returning to the
United States after difficulties with
Capt. f. Hogstead, master of the ship.
The Manitowoc, Muskegon and
Olaguash, all belonging to the same
line, shortly before the Danish islands
became the Virgin islands, U. S. A,
put into harbor at st. Thomas bound
from Buenos Aires to New York, pre-
sumablly to await orders"
They still We're waiting for orders
when the islands were transferred to
the United States. According to their
manifests, all three ships carried coal
and other fuel supplies. Members of
the crew Of Manitowoc say all the YES

ponement of his reply to the Interpret
lations in the reichstag on Germany's
war aims is that he anticipates that
events may occur in the meantime
which may facilitate his task.
'In fact" says the newspaper, ut
Is rumored that an agreeable political
event is imminent, which, let us hope,
will not turn out to be abortive."
Germany Is not yet able to obtain
the peace necessary for her." Vice
Chancellor Helfferich told the reichs-
tag, according to Berlin advices re-
ceived here. Therefore" he added
1--WE must still fight for It."
In referring to the Russian govern
ment's explanation of its war aims
the Berlin socialist newspaper Vor-
waerts insists that Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg has no reason to
postpone a definite statement Of Ger
many's aims In the war and asks what
the chancellor is waiting for.
Asks Frank Statement.
'If frank, bold statement is made
In the sense of the Russian peace for
mula," 1t says, Russia, Germany and
Austria Hungary will stand together.
How long win America which is
pacifist at heart; how long will Brit
ain and France resist this propaganda,
especially as their populations are suf-
fering terribly?

Among Many Other Signs or lndica- tions Legs and Toes of Young
 Fowl Are Quite Smooth.

You can rarely tell the age of a fowl after 1t is over one year old. The tip of q young chickens breast bone is flexible, so are the pelvic bones, but are rigid in the old fowl The legs and toes of a young bird are much smoother than the old There are fewer pin-feathers in the old bird. and more long hairs. The plumage of the young bird is usually brighter and smoother, and not so faded, as in the older bird. The face of the old bird is more wrinkled and there is more of a shrunken appearance around the eyes. The hen often has a baggy, broken down effect behind. The spurs are an indication of age. If you notice beneath the wings of an old bird, you will fail to see an evidence of veins. but in the younger birds the purple color2d veins are visible under the wing. You will find the bottom or ball of the foot of the mature birds harder and much more callOused than in the case of the younger fowl.
