Washington hunters last year

Also there was talk that the

GERMAN SHIP IS
HELD at EVERETT

EVERETT, Wash, Aug 31.-A
group of American passengers are
virtually prisoners aboard the Ger
man motorship Portland anchored
now at this Puget Sound port.
The Portland was due to proceed
to Vancouver, Wash, and load lum-
Der for Germany. Because of the
critical international situation the
German Consul at Seattle ordered
them to remain IN American wat
ers. The passengers are kept on
board because a Federal maritime
law prohibits foreign ships from
carrying passengers between United
States ports.
