Paris, March 10.—E. N. Brejut . ing, of New York, owner of the steamer Dacia, has entered a formal i protest against the seizure of the vessel by French maratime authori- ties and has retained counsel to de - fend his interests. The Dacia was formerly a German vessel and was Ichanged to American registry after the outbreak of the war. The valid- ity of the transfer was questioned by Great Britain. BShe sailed from Galveston via Norfolk, with a cargo of cotton destined for Germany. MARSIALL LD BENG RUSHD T0 N. Y. FOR TREATWENT (By Associated Press.) ‘West Palm Beach, March 10.— Marshall Field, who has been ill here on & house boat, left last night on a hurried trip to New York for special treatment. It is reported that I appear before you under circum . stances of very great embarrass ment, for the reason that since 1 have come onto this platform and informed the mayor that my ad- dress would require two hours in its delivery, he officially directed me to cut it down to two minutes instead, remarking that “having heard me speak upon 1 former occasion that the public would be more than sat. isfled with two Inutes.” Therefore, 1 am_compelled, under the orders of His Honor, to change my plans en | tirely. When was assigned to me the pleasant duty of extending to you, 1in behalf of the Lakeland Camp No. 78, Woodmen of the World, a formal welcome, 1 hailed it as a pleasure, but at the same time it seemed to me to be a task devoid of necessity and almost a reflection upon the Sovereigns composing the camp— for all who have invaded the Forest inhabited by the Sovereigns at Lakeland have immediately discov - ered that a warm welcome awaited them. The little city in thehills has long been noted for hospitality to the stranger within her gates, but strangers never invade the Forest of a Woodman; therefore you who en- ter here are friends already-—aye, more than friends; you are brothers. Brotherhood denotes friendship in its broadest, -deepest sense, and in that gense | am instructed to address you. The earliest examples of hospital - ity were shown—the beautiful les. sons of brotherly love were first taught in the forest primeval; and with these lessong as its standard and with this environment, Lake land Woodmen love to greet their brothers today. We greet you, not only as friend, but as brother—a tie which binds as no other can. We proclaim that “we| gre our| our brother’s keeper’” and that as to you we are glad to assume this re. sponsibility . The sweetest welcome is the sim- plest; the most sincere is the brief. est jn words. The most graceful hospitality I bave ever known was in a Florida forest where little else but bread and water adorned the humble board, yet the big heart and honest hands which extended it, made it as sweet as the greatest banquet ever spread .

London, March 10. ment of the German army North Poland is said to be imminent by many British observers. In the west the allies claim as. cendancy all along the lines, al though no decisive engagements ar being fought. In central Poland both the Rus- slans and Germans are attacking al - ternately with no pprecible changes. The same is true in the Carpathians. The political crisis in Greece seems temporarily bridged by the formation of a new cabinet, but whether the new premier can con-. trol the chamber of deputies is caus. ing speculation here. Although of- ficially' denied, reports persist that a ministerial crisis also has arisen in Bulgaria. Alton—A. D. Roberts, Glen St. Mary—H. H. more. Jay-—L. A. Harrison. Sebastian—T. B. Hicks.

IN NEED ALSO OF COAL AND RE. l PAIRS, IS REPORTED T0 HAVE | BEEN CHASED TO THE THREE © MILE LIMIT BY A BRITISH i CRUISER (By Associated Press.) ‘Newport News, Va., March 10.— The German auxiliary cruiserPrinz Eitel Friederich arrived here today. She formerly was a German liner of the North German Lloyd Co.; she reached Tsing Tau shortly after the joutbreak of the European war and , the German marine authorities there equipped her with naval guns and sent her forth as one of the navy’s isea raiders. The Friederich sailed from Tsing Tau before the Japanese lattacked that port. Early in No- vember she was reported off the (Wwestern coast of South America, | Where she had been in active pur- suit of British and French shipping. One of her exploits was the sinking in early December of the British isteamer Charas off Chile. A Japan cruiser has been described as search « ng for the Friederich, but never could find her. The Frederieh was short of pro- visions and coal and needed repairs, She had aboard ‘more than three hundred prisoners, who were taken from the Prins. These included the captain and his wife of an American sailing ship, the William P. Frye, which was reported to have been sunk by the Friederich. It was ro- ported in marine circles that Friederich had been chased to the three mile limit by a British erul*r, but this is unconfirmed. ' Can Stay 24 Hours or Longer (B} y’nuollud Pross.)
