Germans Arrive to Take
Part in Conference ON

The contention Of some that passen-
gers on transatlantic liners do not
care for liquors at sea was refuted
Yesterday with the arrival Of the steam
ship Reliance. of the United American
Lines. from Hamburg, Cherbourg and
southampton. The liner carried English
men who are accustomed to their Scotch
and soda, Germans who are fond of
their beer, and Americans who will
take either when they can get 1t, and
it seems all three nationalities were
satisfied.
When the Reliance reached South
amrton on her eastbound voyage, her
bar having already been sealed, her
entire liquor supply was unloaded and
placed in a bonded warehouse. Pros
pective passengers were forewarned
through the newspapers, and those vino
desired it boarded the liner with hip
bottles and satchels containing, what
they preferred on dry ship.
Plea for Fishes Ignored
( Several days before the Reliance
reared these shores Captain F. l.. Tver-
son, the skipper, posted the following
notice on the bulletin boards:
Passengers having any alcoholic
liquors in their possession are re-
cucsted to throw same overheard be-
fore ship arrives at Ambrose Channel
Light Ship
If there was any liquor thrown over
board no one was willing to acknowl-
edge the fact yesterday, but it was ad-
mitted that there was some on the YES
sci as late as yesterday morning, but
ro one knew of dror anywhere after
the Reliance passed the three mile
lint.
The Reliance had 9o3 passengers,

ington. This commission, which will
have a neutral Judge, will arbitrate the
disputes over claims arising out of the
war that this goverrm ment or Amer
lean citizens have against German citis
zens or their government. Among

claims will be discussed.

The German Ambassador to Japan
