Available For Mans Bread.

New York, Dec. 27.-The passenger
liner Princess May of the Di Giorgio

when her bilge water pumps stopped

The ship was towed into port, after
her belated voyage from Jamaica; her

fifty two members of the crew We're
suffering from intense cold.
Meyers said the trouble began about
$50 miles southeast of Ambrose cham
mel when bilge water pumps stopped
while the chief engineer worried
about his JAM and refused marmalade
as a substitute 1T was then that
something went wrong with the OH
feed to the fires and the first thing
anybody knew the ship was out OIL
CONTROL said Meyers.
The wireless went out of commls-
sion, and lights were extinguished. The
ship listed so from bilge water that
the crew rugged up hand pumps and
saved her from laundering, got up an
auxiliary wireless set and got coast
guard cutter to tow them in. She will
have a new engine room crew on re-
turn trip, Meyers declared.

NO new AGREEMENT With
JAPAN REGARDING JOINT
ACTION IN SIBERIAN zone
Japan Holds View That Situa-
ti0n Demands Readjustment
of Relations of Powers.
WILL RESIST BOLSHEVIKl
Cannot Permit Soviet Troops to
Pass Even Though 1t Is
Necessary to Send Big Force.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Japan and
the United States have reached no
new agreement regarding the Siberian
question, it was said today at the
state department. Negotiations look
ing to such an agreement which
were initiated by Japan after the
recent rapid advance of the Bolshe-
Wiki, still are in progress, officials
declared.
The announcement by the Japanese
official publicity bureau at Vladivos-
tok that a common ground on which
to base joint action in Siberia had
been reached by the two countries
was believed by officials here to have
had to do with the agreement en-
tered into some months ago relative
to the zones on the Siberian rail-
road to be protested by American and
Japanese troops.
Japan is said to hold the view that
the situation in Siberia resulting from
the Bolsheviki advance demands re-
of the relations of the
powers which participated in the orig
inal military movement in Siberia and
has approached the American gov
eminent on the subject. The Japa-
nese are said to feel that it is their
duty to hold their present lines
against the advancing Bolshevik wave
even though it be necessary to send
strong reinforcements to their army in
Siberia.

up with give and take. He warned the
travellers that if they gave ideas that
new ideas would be given in return and
that instead of one idea the man would

EPERNAY Wine

Subterranean Galleries Sixty
Miles in Length Hold Mil
lions of Gallons of Wine.

Rheims. Dec. 27.-Labyrintine wine
cellars beneath the cities of Rheims
and Epernay are being rapidly put in
order by the big champagne firms
OF the two cities. These cellars. which
would form a subterraneaal gallery
sixty miles in length, hold hundreds
of millions Of bottles of precious vim
tages and Notwithstanding the fact
that this region was for four years
under fire from German or allied guns,
they suffered. comparatively little
damage. Losses incurred by the wine
industry. while they will place a heavy
burden on firms for a while, will be
recouped in a short time. according to
statements made to The Associated
Press correspondent who is visiting
the former battle zone under special
permission from the French govern
ment.
German soldiers took very little
wine from the cellars when they swept
southwark over this district in 1914.
The most of the damage done to the
stocks is attributed to French and
allied soldiers.
Fighting men made unofficial requi-
sitions termed 'ransoms" and these
cost the cellars about 325,000 bottles.
Frequently irresponsible soldiers
would bore holes in hugh casks of
unbottled wine and after filling a
bucket, would leave and permit the
remainder in the cask to run. away
and be wasted. 1t is believed 1,o0o,-
900 bottles were lost in this way.
Champagne firms, however. took
their losses cheerfully believing the
allied soldiers were entitled to the
wine.
Six months time will be required to
collect scattered unlabeled bottles the
age of which experts must determine
There is, however, large reserve
which is ready for the market.
