It. is now established that the; raider left Kiel Canal under a Danish | -flag, with 250 sailors and four officers aboard. The raider is believed to be’ the cruiser Moewe, of the Vineta type, although the disguise is so com-* plete as to be impossible of identi- fication. The British flag was flying from the masthead of the raider when the steamer Nantes was stopped, and im-| mediately a German flag was run up. Rumors are now revived regarding the existence of a German supply base somewhere in South America.| Persistent reports are that more than 400 people perished when one of the ships was sunk. The fate of persons who were not landed at Pernambuco is unknown.” The Brazilian government has taken steps to enforce a rigid neu- trality. i !

Many visiting Masons were seated at this banquet which was served in the hrn- quet hall. After the banquet was concluded the degree work was re- sumed. The beautiful ritual used in con- ferring the Master Mason degree is probably as impressive as any of the work used in copferring subsequent degrees and se Moai team made a most creditable showing.

But quite to the contrary, Billy lowered his head and goatee and scowled fiercely if anyone approached, Becoming desperate over such @ turn of affairs, J. W.
