TAKE OVER VESSELS
United States Authorities Seize
German Ships.
DEPUTY MARSHALS IN CHARGE
Action Follows Almost Immediately
After Passage by Congress of Res
olution Declaring That a
State Of War Exists.

New York, April 6.-Seizure of Ger
man merchant vessels that took refuge
In Atlantic ports at the beginning of
the war began almost Immediately af-
ter congress passed the resolution de-
claring a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The collector of the port at Boston
was the first to act. The federal of.
hcials at New London, Conn.,, Balti-
more, New York and Philadelphia, fol.
lowed quickly. In few hours United
States deputy marshals were in charge

ing vessels.
The port officers acted on orders is.
sued by the secretary of the treasury.
1t was understood that the move did
not involve confiscation and that the
vessels are held as q measure of
safety. There was no announcement
as to whether the government should
take over the ships for it's use and pay
for them after the war.
German vessels now in American
ports number 81 with a gross tonnage
of about 100000.
Since the president delivered his war
message to congress these ships had
been under heavy guard stationed
by the collector of the port.
Their officers have said that, lying
at their docks since the beginning Of
the war, these vessels have become so
fouled and their slips so choked with
mud that it would have been virtually
impossible for them to get away unless
they were extricated by dredges.
At various times there had been re-
ports that the machinery and boilers
had been wrecked by their German
crews, but of this there was no official
confirmation.
Chancellor McGovern, after board
ing the North German Lloyd steamer
Whitehead at New London, said that it's
engines were apparently in good condi-
ton.
The ships taken over, ports in which
they were seized, and their tonnage
and value, are as follows:

Man Likes to Take a Chance.

Do you know why men give up sal
aried positions for the uncertainties of
q new business? For the reason that
taking chances appeals to them. They
know that if they succeed in wooing
success the rewards are large. The
salaried person is liable to govern liv-
ing by the wage scale OF today; he
looks at the future from point where
he never loses sight Of the size of his
income and saving is both difficult and
uncommon. With an uncertain Income
there may be close pairing at times, per

people are confident Of victory and we

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK 'CASCARETS"
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead Of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.
