FOR HELP
italian Steamer $40 Miles East
Of Cape Henry When
Hit by Storm.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The north
west gale that brought the cold
wave with it extends far out to sea
and today, according to wireless
messages received here and along
the coast, has so badly buffeted an
italian cargo steamer that she was
in a sinking condition and sent out
sos calls for help.
In Sinking Condition.
The steamer is the Moncenisio,
with a crew of thirty-four, which
left Norfolk February II. Her
wireless calls placed her at 51O
miles east of Cape Henry when the
storm struck her-about 700 from
New York. Her latest radio mes
sage stated that she was i'll sink
ing condition and could not hold
out very long.
Other messages were received
from the American freighter Car
palaka, bound from New Orleans
for Havre and Antwerp, stating
that she had heard the Moment
sio's appeals for help, and at the
time was seVenty-seVen miles away.
Capt H. T. Smith of the Carpa-
laka said he had put about in spite
of the storm, and was making his
way toward the Moncenisio at full
speed.
Cutter Rushes to Aid.
The coast guard cutter Man
ming, now at sea, has been com
municated with and also went to
the Moncenisio's assistance, but IL
will take her nearly two days TO
make the sinking boats position.
The Moncenisio is a steamer of
AGO tons, $40 feet long and Al
feet beam, and is in command OF
Can't. Giuseppio Bertilino. She took
on a cargo of sulphur at Freeport,
Tex, thence proceeded to Calves
ton, and came up the coast to Nor
folk. which she left bound FOR
Naples.

LIE TrOcquer Asks for
British Aid on Rhine;
Law Defers Decision
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-An urgent
request for British cooperation in
the Rhineland was middle here today
by NJ. LIE Trocquer, minister OF
public works in the French cabinet.
It was understood that Premier A..
Bonar Law said he could announce
no definite decision at this time.
The Franco-British conference which
was primarily arranged to settle
differences over the French use of
railways in the British area of
military occupation on the Rhine,
lasted two and one-half hours when
adjournment was, taken. Another
session will be held tomorrow.
French transportation experts ex-
planned to Premier Bonar Law 'the
need of British cooperation to
carry on the French movements in
the Rhineland and Ruhr."
After the meeting M. LIE Trocquer
announced that he had no state
ment to make because the negotia-
tons were not completed.
Entente Is Tested.
This conference puts the Anglo
French entente to test once more.
If the British reject the French re-
quests it will throw still further
strain upon the accord, which is
already badly cracked. The French
requests briefly summed up are:
That the British allow the French
to take over and operate certain
railways through the British zone
of military occupation for translor-
tation of coal into France; or.
That the British turn over to the
French army of occupation the
territory through which these rail.
ways run so that it can be held
by the French troops.
In view of the fact that the fir.,r
month of occupation has not yielded
the French and Belgians the results
they expected the British are COM
ing to believe that new plans are
under way. possibly the creating
of a separate. independent state in
the Rhineland under protection OF
France. Great Britain wants TO
find out about this.
There Is strong sentiment In the
British cabinet against granting the
French demands. Members Of the
