She is ons of the modern tramp type, and had been built at Glasgow a. compara tively short time before being used in the Pacific trade. The vessel Is 19 feet Ions, has a beam of 52 feet and depth of 30 feet. The Japanese steamer Hudson Mara, which landed crews of some of the ships sunk, as well as the men who were on the St. Theodore, had been in the harbor, as well as the Royal Mail liner Radnorshire, one of the victims, also the squareriggers Nantes and Asnieres.

BRITISH CRUISERS IX PURSUIT Warships Leave Falkland Islands to Protect Shipping Lanes. BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 19. According to newspapers here, two British cruis ers have left the Falkland Islands in search of the German raider and to pro tect the shipping lane. The raider is believed here to be re ceiving wireless information from a Brazilian station. RIO JANEIRO Jan. 19. The British authorities have Issued a warning to ehlpplnir companies that the captured British steamer St. Theodore has been converted Into a German commerce raider and la cruising: alons the Allan tie steamship routes. Secret untrue tlons have been given to the companies regarding; routes to be followed. WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Dispatches to the State Department late today from Rio de Janeiro said it was stated there that the steamer St. Theodore, captured by the German raider in the South Atlantic, armed with two guns and manned by a German crew, was cruising as an auxiliary to the raider. The department announced the ad Tlces in this statement: "The department is advised by tele- gram from Rio de Janeiro that it is tttated there tnat the captured steamer St. Theodore has been armed with two guns and a German crew put on board and that the vessel is now operating as an auxiliary cruiser in the Atlantic. No Americans on Either Ship. Earlier in the day a cablegram from Consul Stewart at Pernambuco an nounced the landing there of the St. Theodore's crew, including nine Amer icans, by the Japanese steamer Hud son filar u, another of the raiders prizes, The Consul said the other ships cap tured were believed to have had no Americans aboard. The report of the arming of the St. Theodore, a British vessel, was given out with the explanation the depart ment had no means of determining its accuracy. Officials were inclined to credit the story, though, and to look for word that other captured ships would be similarly used. Rights Not Yet Violated. Despite the intense interest with which the raider's work is being fol lowed here official dispatches do not as yet indicate American rights have been violated In any way or that the cruiser has exceeded her privileges un der international law. Moot questions of international law are involved, however, in the conver sion of a merchantman into a com merce destroyer on the high seas. The United States as well as Great Britain has refused to recognize the legality of such conversion. If American ships are sunk by such converted vessels or American cargo on other ships is los it is expected this country would press claims against Germany for damages. Germany, however, together with the other continental nations, has main tained the legality of conversion at sea. An attempt was made at the second Hague conference to reach an agree ment on the subject, but the small-navy nations refused to accept the Anglo American contention. The attitude of the South American nations is being watched with par tlcular interest here, as it is recog nized the raider's exploits has stirred public opinion there to as great a de gree as the exploits of the U-53 stirred public opinion here. A practical block ade of many ports, a jump in insurance rates, and crippling of a highly pros perous foreign trade are the results facing the South Americans. ENTENTE ISLES FEAR ATTACK British and French West Indies Pre pare for Defense. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Possibility of an attack on the ports of the British and French West Indies by a German raider has created alarm among offi cials and residents of the islands and every possible precaution for defense is being taken by the authorities, ac cording to Rev. J. Henry Cartwright, of London, who arrived here today on the British steamship Parima from "West Indian ports. Mr. Cartwright has just completed a tour of the islands as representative of the English Wesley an missions board. He said reports of the raider in southern trade routes were received there just before Christmas. At that time there was at Trinidad the British transport Magdalena, loaded with West Indian recruits ready to sail for Eng land. On receipt of the news of the raider the troops were disembarked and scattered throughout the islands to strengthen the defense of the ports. The Magdalena, he added, left Trini- did under cruiser escort and it was re ported to him she had taken refuge in -Martinique. "Lights in the towns and cities are forbid," Mr. Cartwright said. "In addi tion, lighthouses and light buoys along the coast have been darkened and all vessels leaving port are warned to look out for hostile ships. SHIPS STAY CLOSE TO PORT Entente Vessels Not Venturing Out AVhile Raiders Are Abroad baijTuiukk, Jan. 19. Since news of the operations of the German com merce raider was received two days ago. not a ship of the belligerent na- ttons has passed out of the Virginia Capes from this port for Europe. In the meantime nearly 25 ships have enterca nere during the last two days, bringing the-total in port up to 71. Many of the ships have been forced to anchor in midstream because of the lack of wharfage to accommodate all. The majority of the vessels here fly me uritisn iiag. RAIDER REPORTED IN GULF Effort to Intercept Oil Tankers From Mexico Expected. MEXICO CITY. Jan. 19. Insistent rumors come from Vera Crus that the German commerce raider now Is In the Gulf of Mexico. It is expected in Vera Cruz, the reports add, that the raider will make an effort to cut off the oil ships en route from the Tampico fields for England. There is no confirmation of the ru- mora here.

DEUTSCHLAND DUE SOON PREPARATIONS MADE TO RECEIVE SUBMARINE CARGO SHIP. Second Vessel, Larger Than First, Is Also Expected Bremen No Longer Regarded as Lost Vessel. NEW LONDON. Conn.. Jan. 19. James L. McGovern, of Bridgeport, state collector of Customs, had lengthy conference with officials of the eastern forwarding Company here i day, and while nothing was given out tor puDiicatlon. It is understood that arrangements were completed for the arrival at this port of the German com mercial submarine Deutschland. It also was learned from unofficial sources that another submarine, said to be larger than the Deutschland, is ex pected here soon. Deputy Collectors Dillon and Com stock were present with Mr. McGovern at the meeting. A similar conference was held here just before the Deutsch land arrived last November. The warehouses of the company at the State Pier are stored with hun dreds of tons of crude rubT jr. copper and nickel. The same stevedores who unloaded the Deutschland's cargo of her two previous trips to this country are now quartered aboard the North German Lloyd liner Willehad. BRIDGEPORT. Conn., Jan. 19. The German merchant submarine Deutsch land is expected to arrive in New Lon don harbor within 48 hours, according to James L. McGovern, collector of cus toms for Connecticut. Mr. McGovern also said he had heard "unofficially1 that the Bremen, sister ship of the Deutschland, has not been lost at sea, as has been supposed. The Bremen sailed from a German port last August for New London and since then nothing has been heard from her. Mr. McGov em would not amplify his statemen other than to say "German naval offi- clals no longer regard her as lost."

It was necessary to leave him quiet for a few hours until ha could recover his strength. I was brought out by automobile this after noon, leaving Colonel Bishop in the I care of the rescue parties, which had consolidated." Continuous rains probably saved the lives of the two Army aviators, accord ing to S. Hovatter, a member of the searching party which rescued the men. Had it been clear and warm they could not have survived after their water supply was exhausted, he said. Robertson Walked Into the camp of E. L. Gamble. W. Proebestl and S. Hovatter yesterday morning as they were preparing to renew the search begun Wednesday. This party was joined soon after Robertson appeared by a second rescue party from A Jo, Ariz., composed of W. E. Freeman, J. Cameron and a Mexican guide. The two parties consolidated and began the search for Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop.

Empty Motor Trains on Way. The dispatching of four empty motor truck trains of 30 trucks each from Columbus in the past 24 hours was taken here to mean early withdrawal. The pitching of & number of large tents at Columbus for housing equip- ment. ordnance, merchandise and other Army stores was also considered an indication of the early withdrawal and arrival of the expeditionary column at the field base. General Pershing's troops will be disposed along the border with head quarters at El l'aso and San Antonio, according to reports here and in Co lumbus today.

President Wilson has approved the plan to bring the troops out and there have been plain intimations action would precede any further statement on the subject. All details of the withdrawal are un derstood to have been left to General Pershing, and General Funston already has worked out his plans for distrib uting the 10.000 or 12,000 men in the expedition among strategic points along the border. As soon as these regulars are avail able, the homeward movement of Na tional Guardsmen still doing border patrol service will begin. PRIZE OF GERMANS IS SAFE (Continued From Pirat Page.) VICTIMS KXOIYX IX PORTLAND St. Theodore, Hudson Mara and Radnorshire Had Been Here. Portlanders having to do with th waterfront remember the British steamer St. Theodore, aa she was here in 1914. she having Drought a cargo of Japaneaa oaJt here In Way of that as been kept secret up to this time for military reasons, which. In view of the British Admiralty statement of Jan uary 17, are no longer operative. 'It is notewortny tnat me Britisn Admiralty resolved to announce to the British public these losses, which date from some considerable time back, only when the losses were made known to the neutral world by the arrival of the Japanese prize, Hudson Maru, in a Brazilian harbor." The British steamer Tarrowdale was last reported in shipping registers as having sailed from New York Decem ber 4 and arriving at Havre "prior to January 3. Capture Previously Announced. The steamer has been mentioned in the reports from the British Admiralty as among overdue vessels captured by the German raider In the South Atlan tic and as having been sent away by the raider with 400 men of the crews of sunken vessels, who were to be landed. Unofficial dispatches from Rio Janeiro also said the Tarrowdale had been used by the raider to land mem bers of crews of ships sunk by the raider. A dispatch from Rio Janeiro Thurs day night said a report had been re ceived there that the Tarrowdale ar rived January 16 at Sao Vicenti (St. Vincent), Cape Verde Islands, a Portu guese possession off the v est African coast. Port Probably German One. While the Berlin dispatch does not mention the port into which the Tar rowdale was taken by the prize crew. it seems probable it was a German port, as the official statement says that the 469 captives on board, includ ing 103 neutrals, "who had taken pay on armed enemy vessels," were removed as prisoners of war. In a neutral port such action would be impossible. The British official announcement concerning the operations of the raider said eight British steamers, two French ships and one Japanese steamer had been captured between December 12 and January 12.

They landed, he said, when the airplane tipped and broke the propeller. This was about 12:30 P. M., January 10. four hour3 from San Diego. Compass Readinsi Depended On. Lieutenant Robertson gave his story in full tonight to a representative of the Associated Press, as follows: I left San Diego at 8:30 A. M. Janu ary 10, intending to go across the mountains east to Calexlco. Insuffi cient maps made it necessary to rely largely on compass readings. For this reason, to keep north of the Mexican border. I sailed a course 25 degrees north of east. I counted on this course putting me into Imperial Valley well north of the border and then having to sail feouth for about oO miles. "In order to cross the high mountains It was necessary to travel high, aver- , aging more than 7000 feet. From this altitude it was impossible to detect a very strong north wind which I en countered in the mountains. "I then turned southeast. After go ing about 30 miles on this course I could see indistinctly through the haze a large body of water. I thought it Salton Sea. The only map of this sec tion that I had showed Salton Sea much too far south, ao this confirmed my belief that it was right. As my gas was running low my only recourse was to keep going further south In or der to strike Calexlco. Colonel Bishop thought this body of water to be Salton Sea, so we both were satisfied of the correct course. . "Neither Colonel Bishop nor myself could possibly figure on the drift of the machine. As it was hazy it was impossible to see clearly enough to pick out objects. The strong north wind also made our rate of travel much faster than was figured on. Error Is Discovered. When, after about 30 minutes" of search for the Southern Pacific Rail hich I knew to be near Salton to pay Government taxes on liquor, were returned here today by the United States grand Jury.
