BRITISH SCHOONER SEIZED CARGO FOUND MISSING Captain of Sloop Tells of Mysterious Trip to Liquor-Laden Ship at Sea. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, July 23.—Every available agency was in motion along the New Jersey coast tonight in an effort to trap the fleet of liquor smug- glers that is belleved by revenue agents to be creeping up the Atlantic ©ocean from the West Indies, officlals here announced. Prohibition . enforcement agents, coast guards, revenue officials and po- lice officiala are known to be guard- ing secluded coves and Inlets, while it is reported Navy seaplanes have augmented the force of patrol boats on duty at the three-mile limit, with- in which suspicious vessels may be hailed. Whilé these officials are tightening a blockade of the coast, federal au- thorities and the county prosecutor's office here have combined in a search for possible liquor caches. British Schooner Seised. Feleral officers today selzed the British two-masted schooner Poco- moke, moored in Gardner’s basin, in the inlet district here. The isure was made by John ‘Holdzkom, chief keeper of the coast guards, acting under instructions from Collector Barry of Philadelphia, to hold the vesse] pending an investi- ‘gation of rumors that she had a cargo of liquor aboard, but no liquor was found. Capt. J. A. Roy, the French- «Cansdian skipper Insisted that his wvessel sprang a leak during a storm ®ff the coast here and that as a con- sequence he tpro' overboard 1,000 eases of liquor which he had aboard. ‘While the federal coast guards were Belzing the schooner federal prohibi- tion officers Sombed the city for s trace ot Capt.

July 23.—The presence of two Navy sesplanes off the coast today gave rise to reports that air scouts have been employed in the hunt for smugglers of liquor. The flying boats, which appeared to be of the F-L-5 type, cruised about most of the day. It is reported that Navy air scouts have been ordered to comb the At- lantic coast from northern New Jer- sey to Norfolk looking for suspicious- looking craft. Every cove and inlet was said to be guarded to prevent the landing of contraband liquor. Coast guards have been ordered by Capt. George Little to maintain a half-hourly, watch of the horizon and jnform the naval alir station if they sight any mysterious vessels. Dela- ‘ware river pilot boats also have been requested to maintain a sharp look- out. Heavily armed plain clothes men guarded every road leading into Cape May tonight, following receipt of in- |, formation by the police that a truck laden with 450 cases of whisky had started in this direction from At- lantic City. Chief of Police Jefferson Gibson in- structed his men to shoot the driver of any truck who failed to stop upon being hailed. Sheriff Meade Tamlin stationed deputies at all bridgeheads in this gistrict to watch for the truck. Bridges Jeading into Ocean City, Tuckahoe and Corsons Inlet also are guarded by police officials. [Eighteen Men Arrested in Capture of Auxiliary Pishing Sloop. ' NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 23.—In the selzure of the auxillary fishing sloop Jennie T. of Northport, N. Y., the confiscation of liquor valued at jnore than $50,000 and the arrest of eighteen men in a spectacular raid early today, federal and city officials believe they have solved—partially at least—the mystery attached to the elusive “pirate ship” which has been sighted at various times off the New Jersey coalt, near Montauk point, and in Long Island sound. The authorities have not yet deter- mined whether there was any direct ronnection between the Jennie T. and the British schooner Pocomoke, they eBaid tonight. The Pocomoke, bound Srom Nassau, Bahama Islands, with a shipment of liquors consigned to " Canadian ports, put into Atlantic City 5 few days ago with her cargo miss- §ng. It was explained at the time that the liquor had been jettisoned at sea. rhe Jennie T. docked at Lighthouse Point, an amusement resort at the eastern entrance of New Haven har- Yor, early today, laden to capacity with a valuable eargo of liquor, the Mr. Harding, Edison a Sleep in Woods BIGPOOL, Md., July 23.—Far away from the cares of the presidency, Warren G. Harding spent this after- noon and tonight in a tented camp, sequestered among the Maryland hills. The camp, which is of a rather elaborate and luxurious nature, com- pared with what one pictures of a camp pitghed in the wilds, is sit- uated in @ large and beautiful grove along the banks of Licking creek, a short distance from Pecktonville, a little cross-roads place about eight- een miles west of Hagerstown. The President's companions on his excursion back to nature were Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison, Harvey S. Firestone and Bishop William F. An- derson of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They will remain together at thelr camp near here until late tomorrow, when the President wili motor back to Washington. On his arrival here, shortly after noon today, Mr. Harding apparently put all the responsibilities of his office away from him. As soon as he alighted from his automobile after the hundred-mile ride he threw oft his coat and swung an ax for a few minutes to help out the camp COMPANY RESISTS | SEIZURE OF SHIPS Five U. S.

July 23.—The United Americin line temporarily will op- erate the five passenger liners seized | last hight from the United States Mail Steamship Company by the Shipping Board. This annoutcement was made late today by J, B. Smull, an operat- ing director of the board. Complications arose tonight when Emil Lederer, trafic manager of the United American line, made an unsuc- | cessful attempt to secure wuznioni 1 of the United States Mail Steamship Company’s business office, at 45 Broadway. He presented a letter from Mr. Smull directing him to take possession of the premises. The agent in ocharge, however, sald no such authority would be recognized and denied him admission to the offices. Later E. A. Quatles, assistant to the president of the United States Mail Steamship Company, sald: Declared Unwarranted. “We have a lease on the premises and certainly will not turn them over to a competitor. We also were moti- fled in a letter from Mr. Smull to dis- continue the sale of passage and freight space on any of the boats seized. «We replied that the seizure was without warrant of law, arbitrary and indefensible, and that our com- rany would proceed for our own pro- tection against the extraordinary ac- tion.” Decision to take action agalnst the United States Mail Steamship Com- pery was made Jast, Thursdady at Washington at a full meeting of the Shipping Board, Mr. Smull said, and the.action was uranimous. The al- ieged dereliction of the company i the matter of payments was called to the attention of the new board by the district auditor, and it was for- mer Chalrman Benson, now one of the commissioners, who suggested the course taken.

FAMINE HAS DEATH GRIP ON SOVIETISM Bolshevism Not Expected to Survive Pangs of Star- vation in Russia. HUNGER PALES ALL ISSUES Warring Factions Unite to Stave Off Disaster—Continued Ap- Dpeals for Help Made.- BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Ouble to The Star and Chicage Daily News. Copyright, 1921. PARIS, Prance} July 23 —The forvi of grim hope is once mdre stirring the bresasts of many thousinds of Russian refugees uving tn the vari- ous capitals of Europe. The word s going around that bolshevism is About to collupse, but whether it will be within a few days, a few weeks or a few months, of course nobcdy knows. The sentimont, neverthelcss, is widespread that the end Is now nearer. Popular discontent with tho ruin and oppression caused by the Moscow dictators will, it is believed, be brought to a head by the present famine in the Samara region. Reserve Stores Gone. “This famine is due to several causes,” sald the Russian soclalist leader Gregor Alexinsky to the wiriter. “In the old Cays every eom- munity was obliged always to keep on hand a considerable reserve store of grain against emergencies. Under bolshevism these reserves have dis- appeared. In the second place, the peasants, fearing bolshévist requisi- tions, have planted less grain than usual. In the third place, the com- plete breakdown of the transporta- tion system prevents the transfer ot grain. Finally, drought has almost destroyed the crops in certain dis- tricts. “The result is a great migratory movement of the population In these districts—such a movement as has not been seen before in Europe since the middle ages. Starving peasants pack their carts with bedding, the family samovar, wife and cnildren and, driv- ing the cattle before them, take to the roads, some going to Siberid, some to Turkestan and others westward, to- ward Moscow. s thejggo their dire straits tempt them to pillage the flelds and villages through which they pass, with the result that the peasants in these villages are organizing home guards and defending their posses- sions with rifles.” 3 Some of the leaders among the Rus- sian emigres, while ardently desiring the fall of bolsheévism;- expfess the fear that nothing will be ready to take its place, and that Russia will lapse ‘from the present centralized chaos into a decentralized chaos, which will merely prolong the suf- fering of the .people. In particular there is fear of the terrible pogroms against the Jews on the part of the peasantry, exasperaied by the alleged Jewish sympathies with the bolshevist regime. It is reported that some po- groms of this nature have already oc- curred in Ukrainia, where the spirit of revolt is growing rapidly. . In the towns great religious = processions, which are a sort of :silent protest against bolshevism, are sald to be of - frequent occurrence. 5 Under these circumstances the chief European governments are said to be anxiously considering the pessibility. of supporting this or that Russian political party as heir to the boshevik power. Thus, the Poles are support- ing the Savekov group in Warsaw, the British are sald to be negotiating with the Kerensky group in Prague ahd the Germans with the Russian’ reactionaries in Berlin.

The sinking of Germany's “tn- sinkable” battleship Ostfriesland la: Thursday by the Army air service's heavy Martin-type bombing plahes in the short space of twenty-two and a half minutes after opening fire with one-ton bombs demonstrated certain hard, cold facts never even theoretically realized before by the majority of Army and Navy officers. The result has been, according to many in military circles, to stir up more popular interest in our future alrcraft policy throughout the coun- try, and to arouse more sclentific and technical enthusiasm among govern- ment experts in all branches than has been shown at any time since 1918 / All officials agree that the last thirty days devoted to gunnery and bombing tests have been “epoch- making.” Brig. Gen. Mitchell. who was first criticised for making “bom- bastic” statements, has at least dem- onstrated that heavy bombs can sink the best of battleships if allowed to get within striking distance. Hope for More Money. The Navy Departmeqnt also will gress, which qut its aviation appro- priation from $35,000,000 to $13,- with experimental work and develop aerial defense adequate to keep such attacks at a distance.

A. An immediate demand by the Navy Department for eight airplane carrlers, worth about $30,000,000 each, so that each battleship division of our fleet may have a seagoing base for its pursuit and bombing planes. B. The adaptation by the chemical warfare service of poisonous gases and the smoke screen effect to light- weight bombs which can be dropped by speedy pursuit planes upon the enemy and 'thus prepare the way for the slower-going bomb planes with their destructive freight. C. The urgent speeding-up of ex- perimental production by the \air- craft industry of still heavier planes which would carry at least two of the one-ton bombs at a trip, with possible reaching out as far as a mammoth plane that could carry & ten-ton bomb, able to destroy the modern battleship, such as the Penn- sylvania, at one blow. The Navy al- ready has in use the NC type of bombing plane, which can carry twice as heavy & load as the Martin bomb- ers which destroyed the Ostfriesland; and they will build another type, the “giant,” which will be twice as powerful as the NC and four times as powerful as.the Martin bomber.

This fear has prevailed in some of the departments, and the ex- pected jealoustes have cropped up, and.those in charge of formulating the new plan realize that it would nullify the efforts to bring about ef- clent methods with regard to the disposal of surplus property to place its distribution under one branch of the government. — .
