By 11 o'clock in the morning it was seen that the fire was a serious one, the flames spreading to the pilgrims’ baggage and threatening to destroy the wooden decks.

Voyagers Quickly Removed. ! The Clan MacIver made haste to comply and the task of transferring the passengers was completed at 6 p.m. The captain of the Frangestan asked the Clan Maclver to proceed to Port Sudan with the pilgrims, say- ing he would remain on board the Frangestan and endeavor to make port with her, but shortly afterward the forward end of the steamer was found to be blazing like a furnace, all hope of extinguishing the fire was abandoned and the captain ordered the crew to abandon the ship. The commander himself remained on | board until 9 o'clock. When he left the Frangestan was sinking rapidly.

BERLIN, April 3.—Impatience over the German government's failure to obtain the release of the 1,500 “pas- sive resistants” sentenced by the Franco-Belgian military courts dur- ing the occupation of the Ruhr and the Rhineland was freely voiced by Chancellor Marx in an interview to- aay. Incidentally, he pointed to what he considered the obvious relation be- tween the resentment felt through- out Germany over what its citizens view as a needless affront to the na- tion’s sense of justice and the revival of pronounced nationalistic senti- ment in the reich. Unrest Laid to Allies. “If the outside world believes it-’ self _entitled to view critically the ascendancy of nationalistic_or seml imperialistic currents in German said the chancellor, “we submit that it is wholly inconceivable that these sentiments can be checked or direct- ed into legitimate channels so long as the German people are denied \ | capital | night s | tee, POWERS T0 ACCEPT EXPERT REPORT AS NEGOTIATING BASIS Both French and British Will- ing to Open Exchanges on Committee’s Data.
