The White Star and Cunard line offices here announced to-day that arrangements had been completed for bring! the first-class passengers of the Cedric and Mauretania from Hali- fax to their destinations, ‘The trans- Portation of the other passengers is being arranged. The Mauretania's first-class passen- fers were sent to Bar Harbor on a special train over the Canadian Pa- cific, and those bound for New York will take a train which will bring them to this city to-morrow evening. The Cedric s passengers jd a te tle earlier over the Intercolonial Ratl- way and those coming to this city are due at the Grand Central Station to-morrow afternoon. ‘There was a@ feeling at the offices of both lines that both ships would be ent back from Halifax with Cana- | dian troops and with volunteers from the United States answering the call of the British Government. The vol- unteera would thus avoid any com- plications which might arise from pro. teats that neutrality laws were being violated by their sailing from a United States port.

Mr. Sweet instructed the Collector that the Government could. not interfere with individuals taking passage for Europe merely because of their mem- bership in the army of any of the countries now at war. But the Acting Secretary sald that no or- ganizations, military or naval, en- Msted in this country could be per- mitted to sail. No assurance was given by the Custom House that the Washington ruling was interpreted as permitting the sailing of the ships with passen- gers, ostensibly offering themselves a individuals whose passage had been engaged by the conuls of their countries, It was also maid that the matter of permitting the Olymplc to sail was complicated by the enroll- ment of the ship in the Britieh Naval Reserve.
