Australian Mermaid Not
Allowed to Swim Here

The whole world of swimming
professional and amateur, is puzzled
to know why the Australian Swim
ming Association has written to the
A. A. U. of America declaring that
Fanny Durack, now on her way to
the Pacific coast, is not to be coun-
tenanced. The cablegram from Aus
tralia merely says:
Association considers impossible
in best interests of amateurism to
sanction appearance of ladies. Full
details by letter.
The situation is particularly con-
fusing and embarrassing to A. a. L.
officials, as Miss Durack is expected
to arrive at a Pacific port several
weeks before the letter containing
the details upon which a refusal of
sanction was based by the Antipo-
dean authorities.
The Pacific coast sporting world is
in a furore over this incident. Ar
rangements had been made for Miss
Durack to meet, the talent of that
vicinity which produces more wo-
men swimmers than all the rest of
the country combined. Los Angeles
boasts three mermaids, second to
none in acquatic skill, namely. Claire
Galligan, Charlotte Boyle and Ooro-
thy Burns. They were each to be
pitted against the Australian pheno-
menon; and fifty other matches had
been made. The mystery cannot be
solved apparently until the letter ar
rives, and meanwhile Miss Durack
will be in America.

HOLLAND MUST
SEND OWN SHIPS
FOR U. S. GRAIN
If Dutch Hope to Get Cereals
They Must Use Idle
Tonnage

Washington, May 22.-Holland
must send her own ships to the
United States to get her bread and
grains. She must move some of
the 100000 tons of vessels that she
has kept in ports for months.
The war trade board made it clear
last night that no more steamships
Will be turned to the Dutch service.
although promise was made some
time ago that this country would see
TO 1t that Holland got cereals. The
board denied a request of the Hol-
land government for three ships in
addition to those which already
have carried cargoes, saying that the
grain must be moved by the Dutch
vessels now lying idle.
But everything is being done to
help Holland get her full $4,000 tons
of cereals. Fifteen thousand tons of
cereals have been shipped, but now,
as the urgent need is over, the neu-
trail must carry the supplies in her
own ships. Fifteen thousand tons
or cereals have been accumulated
at ports for shipment and twice the
amount will be ready before any of
the ships can reach here.
Warning is given to Holland that
the. cereals will not remain in good
condition much longer, and it is her
duty to help in the situation. The
Dutch steamer Hollandi, which was
authorized to take a cargo from
Argentine, was unable to accept its
full quantity, because of low water
in the River Platte. 1t will be per-
mitted to come here, take on 500
more tons and proceed to Holland.
Shipments of the grain ration
promised Norway under the new
agreement have been accepted, the
board having granted license for
$1,000 tons, and hopes soon to have
another equal quantity ready. This
will fill up almost all of the Nor
wegian shipping still on this side
of the ocean.
The board denies that there is any
attempt to hold Swedish tonnage.

OF any part of the $11, 100000 the
measure carries until the President
issues proclamation prohibiting the
use of foodstuffs in the manufacture
of intoxicating liquor of any form.
The amendment, offered by Repre-
sentative Randall, of California,
Prohibitionist, will come to a record
vote in the House before final pas
sage of the bill, and opponents ex-
pect to defeat it then.
Representative Gambler, of Missis-
slppl, Democrat, in charge of the
bill, and others vigorously opposed
the Randall amendment.

into issuing that proclamation by
adopting this amendment" Mr..
Gambler said. Il am convinced that
