 The concrete steamer Polias. aground on a ledge near Mosquito Island at the entrance of Penobscot Bay, was the only vessel reported in trouble along the New England coast A late message from the steamer said the coast guard cutter Acushnet ans a crew from Burnt Island coast guard station were standing by her. Several vessels inbound were reported safely riding out the storm many miles from the coast.
 Boston, Feb. "A boat containing ten men of the wrecked concrete steamer Polais off Rockland, Maine, left the vessel in a life boat at 9:S0 today without the masters permission and was not afterward seen, accord ing to a radio message received here from the coast guard cutter Acush- net.

 FEEL GERMANY
 MUST DECIDE
Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One) active officers of the German navy are included in the list of Germans whose eNtradition is demanded by the entente powers The names of virtually all the officials on the naval home and high seas staffs are found in the list.
 Admiral Won Mueller, chief of the secret naval cabinet, was permanent ly attached to Great Headquarters, where he was counted among former Emperor Williams personal confiden- tia1 advisers. In addition, the all lies demand Admiral Won Tirpitz, Admiral Von Capelle and Admiral Won Trotha, who were successively secretaries of the navy.
 Admiralty officers who will discuss the list charge that the wholesale demand for German naval officers :u dicates the entente's desire to per manently paralyze Germau naval as pirations,' and the presence of names like those of Admiral Won Tirpitz and Admiral Won Mueller is ridiculed.
 Admiral Won Tirpitz, said an official today, twas never active at the front during the war and never even par ticipted to the extent of commanding a gunboat."
 He declared that Admiral Won Mueller was an executive official, who merely represented Admiralty at great headquarters, and played only a pass i've role during the war.
 AmiraI Von Schroeder commanded the Flanders naval base, and it was under his jurisdiction that Captain Fryatt, later executed, was captured Out of a total of 500 German sub- marine commanders, the entente powers have called for only 30, who, presumably, are suspected of having exceeded their legitimate instructions. These comprise all those prominent U-boat operators. The Admiralty ad- 1 m1tting losing about 200 UIboats, and 1t is estimated 160 were left at the close of the conflict.
 Commander Booker is an aviator who attempted sensational Zeppelin flight to the German colony in the heart of Africa. Officials are unable to account for the absence of the names of Zeppelin commanders who bombed London, in view of the fact that naval officers were demanded chiefly by England.
 l Captain Merger, whose name was | included in the list, was commander ] of the German commerce raider Wolff. 1 Few parliamentary leaders in Der i lin today would venture any opinion as to what action would be taken, but were inclined to be skeptieal in re- gard to the seriousness of the allied demand for extradition. They were | inclined to believe it to be the prelude i of a demand for a staggering indem- nity or an allied move in some other direction.

 The traction companies, worn out by the strenuous efforts of three days struggled to restore traffic on the surface lines to something approach ing normal and partly succeeded.
 Many outlying towns, however, still were isolated early today and every hour brought fresh tales of woe from sea shore resorts, where great tides had caused desolation and added to the hardshdps wrought by the snow and ice.
 Snow covered trains from the west and the New England crept in to terminals hours behind schedule and with passengers tired and worn iron, their experience.

 Burns was employed at the Loco- mobile Co. and was on a. Barnum ave- nue car at 6:15 yesterday morning when the fatality occurred. Ivor AL pert of 280 Alsace street, motorman on the car on which Burns was riding said it was dark at the time and he did not know anybody was riding OF the inside step.

The passengers in the trolley were thrown into a near-panic when the flame burst out on the platform but all left the car without injury.
 The statfon-master at the railroad station stated this morning that the through and ''way'' trains were all running almost on schedule and that the recent traffic congestion had been nearly altogether relieved.

FOOD SHORTAGE FELT ON BOATS
 HELD IN ICE
Continued from Page One,


 This was done by attaching the packages of food to a. casting line which was thrown from the New Hampshire and a case of eggs, a can of milk, a bag of flour and other ar ticleS of food were drawn across the ice to the New Hampshire
 The thirty passengers of the New Hampshire and fifty of the Chapin came ashore here and took the trains to their destinations.
 One of the passengers on the Chapin died this morning and the body was taken ashore here after Coroner Phe- Ian had been notified. The cause of his death Is not known but from his actions during the night the officers of the boat believed that he must have taken a drink of wood alcohol or other poison which caused his death.
 He was active around the boat dur ing the trip until Last night when he began to act, in peculiar manner, and early thts morning he died while sitting in chair in the saloon.
 This is the first time in 16 years that the ice has interfered with traffic between New York and the Sound ports. Even during the severe weather of two years ago the Sound travel was not tied up by the ice.
 Some of the ice which surrounded the steamers was four feet thick and was as hard as marble. according to one of the officers. The ice jam ex- tends from about a mile east of Ex- ecution Light to two miles west of it.
 The tide from Sandy Hook meets the tide from Montauk near Fort Schuyler and the ice was brought in from both sides, causing the jam.
 On the Chapin the water became sc low that the engineer had to use salt water for his boilers in order to save the fresh water for drinking and cook ing. The boilers are now crusted witt salt and the tubes will have to be cleaned out wren the boat arrives ir New London.
 Both steamers had just enough .coa to last until they arrived in tn; Bridgeport harbor and they will havt to replenish their supply of coal here before they can proceed.
 With a change of wind during tn. night the ice began to drift east ant released the steamers. They i'm mediate1y steamed to Bridgeport, thi being the first open harbor.
 There are a number of othe steamers in the ice and they mus await the arrival of coal before the, can leave as their supply is not suf dcient to bring them to Bridgeport

 More recent advices stated revo- 1utionist forces had occupied Vladi- vostok, Jan. 31, and that allied mis- sions which had been in the city had left, going westward over the trans Siberian railroad in the direction of Harbin. Nothing was reported as to the flight of Russian officers, which may indicate the wholesale assertion of Russian government troops, or their dispersion. If this should prove to be the case, the only considerable anti-Bolshevik forces in far eastern Siberia would be Japanese and Amer jeans.

EDUCATION SYSTEM
TO GET "A|R|NG"
Sci1oolmen at Convention viii
AnaIyze Pennsylvania Condi-
tions and Seek Betterment
THEY MEET HERE IN APRIL

The educational situation in Penn
sylvania is due for a thorough airing
at the seventh annual schoolmen's week
convention at the University of Penn
sylvania, according to an announcement
made today by the committee of ten,
which is in charge of arrangements.
After a years deliberation, these
committeeman decided it would be wise
to pick to pieces Pennsylvania S
educational system. The topic for the
convention was therefore announced to-
day as Emergency in Education in
Pennsylvania Facts and Conditions
Remedial Measures"
The discussion of this topic will be
directed to three phases.
Increased support for the public
school, its needs, its possible sources,
its distribution.
Participation of teachers in the man
agement of the schools. and the reor-
ganization of the Pennsylvania State
Educational Association.
Reorganization of the public school
curriculum.
Whether the convention, to be held
in April, will be able to determine def =
mite reconstructive recommendations is
declared problematical by members of
the committee.
The subordinate topics which will be
discussed and considered will include
the reorganization of the secondary
schools of Pennsylvania consolidation
and transportation, including redistri-
button of terminal units in the rural
schools; educational measurements
remedy for defects found in arithmetic
and reading; how to conduct a cam.
paign for increased support of schools
state system of certification of teach :
ers and intelligence tests as an aid in
college entrance examinations.
Six of the University of Pennsyl-
vania' s experts are on the committee in
charge of the convention. They are
