lied in other counties of the
state and means that the fa-
cilities of the Salvation Army

AT the conclusion of the meet
ing it was announced that the

The work it has accomplished
has won for it such commenda-
tion that communities all over
the country have asked the Ar

Broken Rudder
Forces Cedric
Back to Dock
Big Liner With 525 Passen.
gers Aboard Meets With
Accident at Start of
Voyage to Liverpool

The White Star liner Cedric, with
b25 passengers, moved out into the
North River at noon yesterday, bound
for Liverpool, and while Strengthening
out in the teeth Of stiff northweste,
damaged her rudder and was forced to
back into her dock for an indefinite
stay.
Captain J. o. Carter, her master, was
in a serious predicament when his helm
failed him and only by exceedingly
clever maneuvering and the assistance
of ten tugs that went to his aid did he
avoid mishap to his ship.
The big vessel, which is 1880 tons
gross, moved out slowly into the North
River at noon, her sailing hour. She
stream when her rudder head broke
and she was then at the mercy Of the
tide and the steady blow from the
northwest. Captain Carter kept his
big charge from drifting shoreward by
the skillful use of his propellers. Even
with the aid of ten tugs it was i'm
possible to put the Cedric back into
her dock until 4:25 p. m. While
maneuvering in the river she nearly
! smashed a car float that was being
towed down stream.
AS soon as the Cedric was made fast
! g diver was sent down at her stern anc
later reported that the rudder heac
| was broken. AS soon as the nature OF
the damage was made known the pas
sengers were informed by representa-.
tives of the White Star Line that the
Cedric could not possibly leave port be-
fore Monday. The task Of repairing
the rudder began last night, but it is
doubtful if the job can be finished By
Monday. Practically all of the 12t
saloon and the SO second cabin passen
gers left the vessel when this an
nouncement was made.
The Cedric was scheduled to stop al
| Halifax and there take aboard the pas
sengers who had disembarked from the
eastbound disabled American liner st
Paul.
If the Cedric is required to go inte
drydock for any extensive repairs he1
passengers will be provided for on the
White Star liner Baltic, which will ar
rive from Liverpool to-day and sal
from this port on March 13.

where the Carmania was making read,

The pier of the Cedric and that Of

yards Of each other and twelve saloor
passengers and their baggage were
hastily transferred from the disabled
vessel to the Carmania. Among these
were Sir Fl. and Lady Cunliffe Owen

Turks Bitterly Oppose
Ceding Ade1,a and Cilicia
Recognition of Armenian Re-
public Without Fi1ipA B01r,-
dor;os Fans Old Racial Hatred

CONsTANT1NOPLE, March (De-
avedl.-British forces in the Mesopo-
tamia oil regions, particularly near
Kerkuk and Mosul, have been engaged
in constant skirnishes with tFibesmen
and Turkish irregulars, the opposition
of these forces being similar to that
encountered by the French at Aintab,
Marash and other points in .Clllcla.
Recognition Of the Armenian repub-
lie, without defining its boundaries, IS
said undoubtedly to have embittered
the Turks in .Cilicia, as the Armenians
there claim that Adana and all Ctlicia
must be Incorporated In the new repub-
lie, having belonged to ancient Ar
menia. It Is said that French forces
of occupation have enlisted many Ar
menians, thus tanning the ancient
racial and religious hatred between the
Armenians and Turks and linking it
with the actual state Of war existing
between Turkish and French units. 1T
also affords a screen for Armenian
massacres in the vicinity Of Marash, it
is declared. Protests by Allied repre-
sentatives that the Turks are con-
auences of war have little effect. The
Turks insist they entered the war
against their will and dismiss the mat
ter as if the disposition Of Turkish
affairs were not connected with the
war.
The horrors of Armenian massacres
and deportations during the great
struggle are blandly dismissed by the
Turks with the statement that the
Turkish army suffered at the hands of
Armenians and that the deportations
were necessary. 1t is also contended
that the recent massacre at Marash
does not approach Greek atrocities
against the Turks when the former
landed at Smyrna last year under or
ders Of the Supreme Council Of the
peace conference. Nationalist leaders
also say frankly that many clashes
similar to that at Marash are inev-
table If the Europeans insist on par
titioning portions Of Turkey where The
Turks prsdominate.
A resolution asking the United
States to send commission to inves-
tigate impartially the Marash mas
sacre and conditions generally in
Anatolia were passed unanimously
to-day by the Turkish Chamber OF
Deputies. This action followed an ad-
dress by Arif Bey, who was elected
