As he was to be allowed but. two weeks before returning to the States Mr. Miller went at once to the police and tried to get permission to return to his old home at Newecastle, England, which is but a few hours ride out of the City of Glasgow. The police told him that he would need a full passport in order to move about as he wished and to take the journey his old home, and as he did not Have a passpori of this kind they issued one which gave him permission to, go about the city. Mr. Miller was givén a certificate of registration by the police of the City of Glasgow showing that he was an alian seaman, THis certificate was issued so that in case he was questioned about not hav- ing joined the army he could show that #e was an alien. Mr. Miller said that at night the city was in total darkness and during his twa weeks stay it rained every da The day before he left for this coun- try he met one of the seamen that was taken off the Marina when she was lorpedoed. He stated that the country “was all upset over the war and that evéry day train loads of wounded come into the stations of the city. There is very little war news in the papers. On the return journey the ship came back by the Bermud.’t' Islands in order to avoid submarines and this trip took them 4,000 miles out of their course, Since returning to this country Mr. Miller has learned that his sister had inquired for him at the consulate | when she received no word of his| arrival and that soldiers had been | sent out to look for him. He has a brother Frank who was in the thick- est-of the fighting in France but who ;| has been sent home badly wounded in both legs. For the past eight weeks doctors at the hgspital have been working over this brother try- irtg to save him his limbs. ‘While in Glasgow, Mr. Miller said. everyone was required to be in at 10 | o'clock every night and if found out after that hour a person as given | 2 warning and the second time the ! police caught them had to go to | jall. Mr. Miller said that he was out | at five minutes after ten one night and the police gave him a talking to before he was allowed to go to his hotel.

As hoth cailed for Bordeaux, which is completely intercepted, the ships can- not use the channels outlined for neu- eral navigation. The Vosische Zei- tung says that the United States “must write the. consequences on its own account”” The two ships are. the freighters Orleans and Rochester, both American and both unarmed. They carry contraband. In the face of the warning it was asserted that.the United States gov- crnment would take no steps to halt rage of the two vessels. It was pointed out #hat to call back the Orleans and the Rochester would be equivalent to warning American vessels that they should not sail for the German submarine areas, a warn- ing wrich this government has re- fused to issue eitRer to vessels or | passengers. The position of the gov- ernment in this respect was laid | down In the message which Secretary | Lansing sent to the directors of the | International Mercantile Marine, * in which it was stated: ‘“The government cannot vice to private perso: their merchant vesse give ad- as to whether should sail on European ports by which they would be compelled to pass through the waters delineated in the declaration issued by the German government Jan. 31, 1917. It, how- ever, asserts that the rights of Amer- | ican vessels to traverse all parts of the higzh seas are the same now as they were prior to the issuance of the German declaration.” While it might be physically pos- sible for the United States to convoy ihese vessels, the government is understood to be definitely opposed to {aking such action and to be disposed to wait for developments and act in accordance with the facts if these vessels are attacked by German sub- es in a manner regarded as an invasion of American rights. | The Orleans was only recently transferred from Argentinian to American registry. She arrived from Bordeaux last month as the Avellan- eda, under the ensign of Argentina, ® and was rechristened in the first month ‘of the year. ‘ The Orleans is a ship of vicissi- tudes. built in Dumbarton, Scofiand, jn 1905. Her first name was Menep- thah. She is owned hy the Oriental Navigation company, with offices at 17 Battery place, New York, which has sent many cargoes across seas. The Orleans is commanded by Cap- tain Sicard, who took her safely to . Bordeaux in November and brought her home again.
