When the government seized the giant German ship Vaterland at Ho- boken, N. J., it~was found that, seem- ingly, the engines of the vessel were undamaged, unlike those of others which were crippled by Germany's or der when diplomatic relations were severed. If upon a further examina- tion it is found that the engines of the Vaterland, the worlds biggest ship, have been tempered with, it is believed that Captain Hans Ruser knew noth- ing about it. She was his 'baby," the apple of his eye, and it is understood that when orders were sent out to cripple the German ships he issued his own instructions to the men on the Vaterland and that none of them dared disobey.

PREFER TO REMAIN
 IN GERMAN PRISON
Naturaized English Have No De- sire to Return to Homes

London, April 1O.-Lord Newton in the house of lords. caused surprise b., stating that many British prisoners at Ruhleben. Germany, had no desire to return to England. It is now learned that there are about 800 of these prisoners, British subjects, who openly profess sympathy with the German cause.
 The reason for this large nufnbe of pro-German British, according to statements made here, is that they arc almost all Germans, born and
 bred. who acquired British national ization either in England or in some of the colonies. in order to escape
 liability to military service in Ger
 many. Most of them left Germany specially for this purpose, and after
 residing on English soil for the min- imum period requisite to naturaliza-
 tion, they returned to. the Father
 land and resumed their ordinary life The informed prisoners also include their sons and grandsons. There are also natives of Austria, German Switzerland. and Russia, who simi- larly acquired British citizenship. There was much indignation among l these psuedo-British at the outbreak of the war when they suddeny found themselves interned as were out-and- out Eng!ishmen. There were many protests, but the police replied that they had sheltered themselves from military service under their alleged British nationality and must take the consequences. \ At first they were l carefully distributed among the pure ly British prisoners for observation and espionage purposes. The Eng l lishmen countered with boycott l which eventually resulted in the sep aration of the two elements.
 Whenever one of the pro-Germans
 asked for leave. the officer of the l day would say What regiment do
 you wish to join :'' : In the end about 300 volunteers for the German army
 were obtained from the camp.

sence of the Stars and Stripes from the Town hall is due to the difficulty encountered in attempting to get the flag on the pole on the building. It is a hazardous task to raise the flag and the officials believe some other arrangement should be made for the towns displaying of Old Glory.
 It has been suggested that a pole be placed on the soldiers monument plot at the center, the town flying a flag at this point. The pole could be placed in position at little or no ex- pense and the officials are seriously considering the adoption of the idea.

CHANGE TACTICS ON FRONT IN
 MACEDONIA
BRITISH CHOOS NE w
 ROUTE TO CUT LINES IN
 BALKANS, MENACE OF CONSTANTINE IN GREECE BEING GONE.
By Associated Press


 Important developments are fore shadowed on the Macedonian front following the abdication of King Con stantine by reports today of with drawal by the British, without pres sure, of their advanced positions east of the Struma river on the extreme easterly end of the front and pro nounced reconnoitering activity by the Entente forces along the Vardar.
 It has been frequently pointed out by military observers that virtually the only practicable route for a sue cessful advance to cut the lines of the Central powers in the Balkans and reclaim Serbia, is up the Vardar val ley, along the railway line there. The present activities seem to point to the probability of an offensive by Gen eral Sarrail in the only likely sector that embracing the >Vardar area is imminent.
 Had this been decided upon it would be natural move for the Brit ish to relinquish the advanced ground they held along the Struma and with draw as they have done, to the bridge head near the river, thereby strength ening the Entente right flank for de- fensive purposes while the offensive stroke was delivered by the center.
 An aggressive move, it would seem, has now been made possible by the removal of the menace to the Allies from the rear, which existed as long as Constantine was on the Greek throne and his pro-German political advisors in control of the Greek milf tary situation.

PRICE ON STEEL IS FIXED BY
 GOVERNMENT
COAL AND OIL PRODUCERS ARE ORDERED TO FUR NISH SUPPLIES AT FIGURE LATER TO BE DETERMINED UPON.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, June lS-A basic price of S5620 a ton was fixed for steel plates in contracts for ten steel
 ships signed today by Chairman Den-
 man of the shipping board. Future
 contracts will be let at that price in-
 stead of S95, paid for steel in some
 earlier contracts.
 The contracts were let to the Dow ney Construction Company of New York. Denman refused to sign them calling for steel at So5 and sent them back to Major General Goethals, ask ing that the price be reduced. Today they were returned to Dcnman, pro- viding steel at a lower price.
 A final price will be determined by the shipping board and the fleet cor poration, with the advice of the raw materials committee of the Council of National Defense.
 If the steel mills refuse their pro- duct at the price decided on, the presi- dent will be asked 10 exercise his power to commander their output. If a price higher than today's base is fixed, the government will pay the difference: if lower, the steel mills will refund.
 Secretary Daniels has ordered coal and oil producers to supply the enor- nous quantities needed by the navy at prices to be fixed later by the presi- dent when the Federal trade commits sion has determined fair rate The navy will use l,750,0OO tons of coal and 50,000,000 barrels of oil purchased under this application of the author ity granted by congress.
 Similarly, steel for the entire navy building program is being bought at a rate fixed when Secretary Daniels rejected the proposals of the steel makers as too high.
 Secretary Daniels said today coal operators proposed to furnish navy coal at Q rate of $2.o5 a ton at the mine. The navy has been paying S2.SS a ton delivered. The secretary the companies to ship i'm the orders being pro-rated among the producers. agreeing to pay a tentative price of $253 at the mines pending report from the Federal trade commission
 Oil quotations submitted, Daniels said, ranged from Sl5S to SlS6 a barrel, delivered at Port Arthur, all though the present rate is S9 cents a barrel at that point. The department directed the producers to fill its orders for 50,000,0G0 barrels, leaving the question of price to be determined by the trade commission.
 The arrangement regarding orders, the secretary said, leaves a "hand- some profit" for the producers.

GROUP OF ENATOR s SEEM DETERMINED TO BLOCK LEGISLATION IF MEANS TO DO so IS IN THEIR POWER.
By Associated Press.


 WASHINGTON, June IS. - The opening debate in both houses of con- gress on the second administration food bill for governmental control of foodstuffs and other neccssaries, dis closed a determined opposition, par ticularly by group of senators, which threatened to prevent its enactment by July lst, as urgently requested by the president
 The passage of the bill by the house late this week is confidently expected by administration leaders. Advocates as well as opponents in the senate say the debate should be protractcd there. Unless the president adopts some ex- traordinary steps to hasten action, the law hardly can be enacted in time to act upon the food question before harvesting begins. Administration leaders privately express the fear of a senate filibuster and are prepared 10 invoke the senate's anti-filibuster act. In an effort to allay senate op- position, however, there is to be an informal conference of senators to- morrow.

oy ASsOCldttQ ITtSs
 WASHINGTON, June Is. - America turned today to the task of raising SlOO,O00,0O0 for the Red Cross in an eight-days' cam paign. With the campaign only one day old. telegrams pouring into the office of the Red Cross war council told stories of gener- ous donations in almost every section. The campaign committees in many cities wired they had already raised the sum tentatively allotted them, or exceeded the amount, but were planning an active canvass until the campaign closes next Monday at midnight. A hundred public meetings were held today and tonight with some of the country's foremost men among the speakers. Some of the corporations withheld their divi- dends until today to aid the move ment with the recommendation that they be donated to the Red Cross. The campaign committee at Denver decided that the city's apportionment of S200,O0O was too small and set new goal of S500,- GOO. A telegram said the pros- poets were bright for raising this.
