FIVE SHIPS TAKEN
 BY CUSTOMS DEPT.
 AT BOSTON BIRTHS

Boston, April 6-Fhe five refugee German steamers here were ip the possession of United States officials today Collector Edmund Billings seized the steamers Amerika, Cincin- nati, Wittekina, Koln and Ockenfels an hour and a half after the house of representatives had declared for war. He was assisted by a force of 250 men, comprising bIuejackets from the navy yard, custom guards and po- lice officers. The crews made no re- sistance. They were taken to the immigration station to be held under guard pending the governments de- cision as to their disposition
 Within few minutes after receipt of orders from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, the seizing party was on the way across the harbor to the docks where the German ships lay. Four were grouped on the East Eisstor water front The Ockenfels was alone at a wharf in the l-e-th End. where a small detachment of sailors easily dispossessed the 12
 nen aboard.

FEMININE FRILLS
 WILL MARK MEN'S COMING WARDROBE
Buckles, Kimona Sleeves and Plaited Coats Will
 Be Worn in 1918

The switching of a heavily plaited coat, the rustic of silk lining, the flash of a silver buckle and the swing ing of a kimono sleeve, will bring visions of beautiful damsel. But take warning-look further it will be a man.
 In 1918-
 A coat with nine gores swaying gently outward from a slim waist in fact, perfect 36 model-will make one eagerly see how fair is her face. But twill be a sappointment-twi be a man.
 In 1918-
 Styles will change, and when one is dressed he will wonder what he is provided, of course, the mirror is not big enough to disclose the face.
 From New York comes the infor- nation that a style show was held and the creations for men as dis played were ont only marvellous but exciting. A portion of these styles have reached Baltimore, according to buyer, but the rest are on their way They will all be in vogue in 1918.
 The first of the real mems styles was that of an overcoat. It had the kinQno sleeve with a decided droop- several gores and many fine plaits. At the, waist line was belt of the same cloth, caught in front with a heavy silver buckle. The body was a perfect 36. Of course, this is infor- nation from New York, but Balti- more buyer has said that it is so.
 On all the clothes can be seen the feminine touch with enough effect to give all the garments a futuristic ap- pearance.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-04-06

There were some verbal remon- strances from the Germans on the ships in East Boston. The purser of the Amerika, clad in pajamas, ob- jected to an order to go on deck in the prevailing mixture of snow and rain. When pressed to move he threw up his hands and cried:
 "KiIl me here as well as send me to be killed out there."
 For nearly an hour the 375 partly clad men, some wrapped in blankets, others with only coats and trousers and slippers, stood in the rain while arrangements were made for their ex- animation.
 Capt. Charles A. Polack of the North German Lloyd liner Kron- prinzessi Cecelie. who had been quar- tered on the Koln since the vessel was taken over by the federal courts, smil- ingly assisted the officers to care for the men, His feelings were indicated however, by remark to a newspaper man:
 "Too bad that did not keep my ship on for Germany instead of bring ing sher to all the trouble here"
 Capt. Schaarschmidt of the Cincin- nati was accompanied by his 19 year old daughter. She was shown every courtesy.
 No trace of explosive or incendiary device was found on any of the ves- sels Two shots were fired, but in each instance it was said to have been the accidental discharge of sailor 8 gun.
 The naval force which assisted Col lector Billings was led by Lieut.. Com mander Christopher R. P. Rodgers of the battleship Virginia.
 The steamers seized were valued at SIS 100000, when they tied up here after the war started in 1914, but are now rated at s23,0oo,000 because of the advancing of tonnage. t. All the vessels, however, have been Managed by their crews since the president s declaration of a rupture in diplomatic relations with Germany. As result, none is ready for sea. Officials estir mate that repairs will take at least six months.
 The only Teutonic vessel in the 1nar- Dor not in. the hands of the United States authorities today was the Aus trian freighter Ert1y.
 The Amerika and the Cincinnati were among the best equipped ships in the. passenger service of the Hamburg American line. sThe Amer ika is the last of the local refugee steamers, registered 22,224 tons and valued originally at $3,50O,O0O. The Cincinnati, of 16,339. tons, was rated at 2,750, 900.
 The Koln, registering 7,409 tons, and the Wittekind, with a tonnage of 5,640 both owned by the North Ger man Lloyd line and the Hansa liner Ockenfels, of 5,621 tons, had been en- gagged exclusively as freighters.

THE FIRST STEP

Usually the first indication Of a
lowering of health is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrong-we eat too much, or work
too hard-and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with bad taste, a slight
headache, dull eyes-all show that
food has fermented in the intes-
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels fresh start.
Encourage the liver to go to
work Manalin does all of this,
without gripping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
teIIic, because it follows Natures
plan, without discomfort, inham-
nation or forming habit. Con-
stipation may be overcome with
its use.
