BRITISH STEAMER IS
 NOT AFIRE An SEA
Confusion of Radio Messages Gives, Rise to Erroneous Report-Wooden
 Ship Sinking.

Boston, Oct. 13.-Anxiety about the British steamer Port Chalmers which was reported on fire at sea Saturday night. was dispelled today when a radio message from the coast guard cutter Acushnet said that the Port Chalmers was not in any trouble and was proceeding With two other vessels to the assistance of the wooden steamer Ammonoosic. The Ammon oosic, the message said, was leaking fore and aft and would be in danger of sinking if her pumps gave out. The naval communications office here as- cribed the report that the Port Chal- mers was burning 10 a confusion of messages one of which said she was sending up rockets.
 It was believed here that the Acushnet would keep on and endeavor to assist the AmmonOOSic, although the exact location Of the disabled vessel was in doubt, three different positions having been given in radio messages that have reached the navy yard. The last report said the Am monoosic was in latitude 39.11 north, Longitude 60.23 west.

GERMANY DENIES SHE
 MADE WAR ON LET'S
Protests That Lettish Forces Have Hampered Teutonic
 Withdrawal.

Berlin, Oct. Il, (By Associated Press. )--An official statement is pub- lished denying the allegation in the Lettish appeal to the Entente that German troops in the Baltic provices have done everything possible to sup port BolsheVism and have attacked the Let's from the rear. The German rejoinder declares that this staten ent is contrary to the truth and is an ab- horrent measure of agitation against Germany.
 Germany has not broken the peace, it is declared, but on the contrary has done everything to enforce the terms of peace i'll the case of misled troops in a, portion of the Baltic provinces. It is a matter of record, it is declared, that the Baltic troops (Germans) have not been the attackers but that their return to Germany has been delayed and hindered by hostile acts of the Let's and Esthonians.
 The statement ayers that it is the Let's who are assisting Bolshe75ism in every possible way, including measures to prevent Russian troops reaching the front against the Bolsheviki
