is partly blind, is able to help only
TO the extent of raising some garden
truck for the family on squatter's
lands; the mother with tuberculosis
and unwilling to be separated from the
family, not realizing the danger to
which she exposes them, and all the

There we have the very old whose
working days are over and who have
not been able to provide for their old

they had hoped for health to work to
the end. .-.. ~ @s.. 5.s'

Christiania, Mar. l0.-(By wireless to
Berlin and thence via Tuckerton, N. j.,
March l3.)-Not even Countess Won
Benstorff, the American wife of the
former ambassador to the United States
from Germany, was exempted in the
minute search of the scandinavian Am
erican liner Frederick VIII and her pas
sengers by the British authorities at
Halifax.
So thorough was this search and so
repugnant the methods as well as the
delay it enforced on the former envoy,
that he will lodge formal protest at
Washington. At the time of the
searching the British authorities refused
to transmit his telegraphic protest. They
did mail censored protest to DR.. Rit-
ter, the Swiss minister in Washington,
who was left by Bernstorff in charge
of German interests at the American
capital But this was not forwarded, it
IS understood, until after the examina-
tion was completed and the Frederick
VIII left port.
The British authorities refused to per.
nit the American consul at Halifax to
come aboard the Frederick VIII and
forced the captain Of the liner to prom
ise not to use his wireless.
Count Won Bernstorff was the only
one Of the party who was exempted
from search. His wife was thoroughly
searched. Even the insoles Of her shoes
were ripped off But her examination
was mild compared to that to which the
other Germans had to submit. They were
stripped to the skin and thoroughly
looked over. Even their mouths were
examined as we'll as the spaces between
their toes Not even the women in the
party were excused from this painstak-
ing hunt.
All German gold money was confiscat
ed as contraband. A few Germans lost
a little paper money. Customs officials
