PORTLAND, JANUARY 17, 1915 6 SSSSSSS1SSSSSSSBBSSSSBSS1SSSSSSS-SSSS - " 11 1 1 : ' BRITAIN TO HASTEN RELEASE OF SHIPS Customs Officials Directed to Work Overtime Unload ing Contraband. VIGOR SHOWN EVERYWHERE Explanation 3Tade Officially Con cerning 12 Vessels Whoso De tention Was Made Basis of American Protest. LONDON, Jan. 1. There Is every in dication that the British Foreign Office and the Admiralty are inaugurating a vigorous policy for the immediate search and release of foreign ships sus pected of carrying contraband. In many cases the customs officials have been Instructed to work overtime in getting the contraband -unloaded so the detained vessels may proceed. While the Washington note against the detention of American vessels doubtless had some effect, the better ment in the situation probably is due In large measure to perfection In the contraband department of the Foreign Office and to an Improvement In the machinery for handling the cargoes in question. Delays to ships recently de tained are being measured now In days rather than in weeks. Detention of 13 Explained. The Associated Press is able to give from official sources the British ex planation concerning the 12 ships re cently detained with consignments of American goods, giving rise to the rep resentations to Great Britain- from Washington. The Arkansas, a Danish ship, was detained for a complete examination because It was held that her papers were not satisfactory. She carried con signments believed to be destined to enemies of Great Britain. The Canton, Swedish, has on board copper for the agent of a German firm, as well as rubber, which was released as a courtesy to Sweden, although Eng land was satisfied that It would have been condemned by a prize court The copper was held for a ruling by the prise court because of what was re garded as conclusive evidence that It was Intended for Germans. The Can ton reached Kirkwall December 2. was taken to another port for examination and cleared that port December 2-. Rubber Sent to Prise Court. The Virginia, Danish, arrived at Kirkwall December 24 and proceeded ' to Newcastle, where she discharged her consignments of rubber. These were placed before the prize court because it was believed they were destined for Germany. The Virginia's manifest also was inaccurate. She cleared port Jan- URThe Augusts, Swedish, was detained December 29. carrying rubber and aluminum. The aluminum was thrown Into the prize court, but the vessel was permitted to proceed with the rub- bCTh New Sweden. Swedish, arrived at Kirkwall December 23. She carried aluminum, nickel and copper. She was sent to Newcastle, where the customs service was directed to work overtime to hasten her departure. The por tions of the cargo under suspicion were unloaded and the ship proceeded Jan- U8The Kentucky. Danish, arrived at Kirkwall December 18 and was au thorized to proceed on December 20 to Leith to discharge her cargo of meat, which was known to be intended for an enemy of Great Britain. The Harald was permitted to proceed with a delay of only a few hours. Brlndilla Not Detained. The Brlndilla. formerly a German tank ship, and transferred to the American flag, sailed in December to the Azores, where she loaded the cargo of the interned German steamer Ex celsior. She was not detained, but appears subsequently to have encoun tered navigation difficulties and put into St Helena for a pilot The John D.

The ultimate destination of the vaselin was under question. The vessel was permitted to proceed De cember 11. The George Hawley arrived at Fal mouth December 1 with a large' con signment of lubricating oil. the des tination of which was called into question.

'That doesn't matter," the King re torted. . "I will go on foot The King himself instructed the sol diers how to reach Celano. Pitiful scenes are enacted at the railroad stations as trainloads of in jured arrive from the devastated dis tricts of the AbruzzL Children seem beside themselves with terror as they are lifted from their seats and carired out In the arms of nurses, clergymen. policemen, boy scouts, soldiers ana students, all of whom are striving to mitigate the distriess. - Advices received from Frosinone, 20 miles from Sora, say the walls of the houses are so badly cracked that the occupants fear to remain Indoors, and spend the nights in the open air, brav ing the cold weather rather than risk the danger of being buried in the ruins of their homes. Relief- Slow to Arrive. Vigorous complaints because of lack of medicine, food and tents for the sur vivors in hamlets in the earthquake zone is voiced by the messengers. The paper-says that at Magliano di Marsi. where there. are 1800 dead out of 4255 inhabitants, the first succor arrived 48 hours after the disaster. The local doctor who escaped was almost dis tracted because of the lack of medi cine. 'It would be better if I had died myself," the physician exclaimed to a correspondent "I cannot bear to see people expire simply because I have no means of helping them, jay mother and my sister died only because I had no medicine with which to treat them." He added that he had been compelled to carry the bodies of his mother and sister on his shoulders to a cemetery and bury them himself. Sora Now Recalls Messtna. The condition today of the City of Sora, once a flourishing and prosper ous community, is a striking example of the capriciousness of the forces of Nature. Instead of being reduced to a shape less mass of ruins, as was Avezzano, the State of Sora today recalls the con ditions which obtained at Messina in 190S. when the outer shells of the beau tiful Messina Palaces remained stand ing, only to hide ruin and desolation within their walls. The inhabitants of Sora have been proud of their fine houses and wide streets and have called their town "Little Rome." Of these handsome buildings nothing remains today but the outside walls. Under the masses of shattered masonry within. It Is esti mated that from 350 to 500 victims lie burled. The conditions of the walls still standing makes the work of rescue most difficult A continuance of the earth tremors still brings down masses of masonry. Hope Held Many Still Alive. Nevertheless the fact that so many walls are still standing gives rise to the hope that many persons may still be alive, sheltered in cellars or open spaces. Their rescue will be slow, since the only help available Is the Third Regiment of Caribeers, whose duty It is also to maintain order among the survivors, who are wandering aimlessly about without shelter. The ruins of the Rossi mansion, one of the finest houses in Sora, are be lieved to contain 40 persons. Hope is entertained that many of them are still alive in the cellars underneath the house. ' In one ruined house a father has found his 10-year-old son alive in an aperture of the masonry, which both imprisoned and protected them. Only his leg remained to be freed and the father was working frantically to this end when a fresh earth shock crumbled more of the walls and again buried the child. The boy's voice could still be heard, however, and the father worked assiduously for hours. Finally he lifted the boy, still alive, from his prison. WILSON SENDS HIS SYMPATHY Proclamation Calling on People to Aid, However, Postponed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. President Wilson sent the following message of sympathy today to King Victor Em manuel of Italy: "I am greatly shocked at the news of the terrible calamity which has fal len upon Italy and her people. I beg to assure Your Majesty of my own sin cere sympathy and that of the Gov ernment and people of the United States in this moment of widespread suffer ing and national grief." General George W. Davis, chairman of the central committee, American Red Cross, discussed with the President who also is president of the Red Cross, the situation in Italy and plans for ex tending -relief. Ambassador Page, at Rome, cabled the State Department however, that the Italian government would accept no proffers of aid from foreign government and it was decided to postpone for the time the issuance by President Wilson of a proclamation calling upon Americans for financial aid for the stricken people of Italy. Red Cross headquarters announced that many liberal money contributions for relief work in Italy already had been received and that others would be welcomed to be forwarded informally to the Italian Red Cross. - MRS.

Ap ply to the scalp two or three times a week with the finger tips. This is not only the finest hair grower I have ever known, but it prevents the hair from falling out, removes dandruff and scalp humors, darkens streaked, faded gray hair and makes It soft and glossy.

MUCH ADLER-I-KA USED IN PORTLAND It is reported by The Huntley Drug Company, Fourth and Washington, that much Adler-t-ka is sold in Portland.

' . - THIS STORE MOVES IN TWO WEEKS. Everyone must know that it is going to move and where. To use big space every day in advertis ing this would cost thousands of dollars.

By giving you real bargains, not the culls gathered together for "sale" pur poses, you will tell your friends and neigh bors of your purchases here and why. Your recognition and praise to another about this store is the kind of advertising that cannot be bought. That is why I consider these radical cuts, regardless of the original cost, the Ideal kind of advertising. $20 Overcoats t Q Cfl and Suits 0 I JidU $25 Overcoats 01 P 7fi and Suits 0 I Oil 3 $30 Overcoats 01 Q OC and Suits t)IUiJ Reductions in Our Windows Today MMota flf thA Woodland School again are in training.
