ST. PETER8BURO. Dec. Jl.-A popular
anti-government demonstration, the par
ticipants of which Included large numbers
of students of both sexes, began at mid
day In the Nevsky prospect and lasted
about two hours. Hundreds pi police and
mounted gendarme who were hidden In
the courtyard of the public building!
emerged suddenly and charged the crowd
at full gallop, dividing the demonstrators
In headlong confusion. This led to serious
encounters, fifty persons being more or
lens severely injured.
Large numbers were arrested.
Not since the riots of 1901, when Cos
sacks, reaching across the Nevsky pros
pect from building to building, charged
down the boulevard from the Moscow sta
tion to the Neva, has the Russian capital
lived through such a day of excitement as
this. The authorities last night got wind
of the big anti-government demonstration
planned for today by the social democratic
labor parry to demand an immediate end
of the war and the convocation of a na
tional assembly and every leading paper
this morning In black-faced type was an
explicit warning to the people at their
peril to desist from congregating In the
Nevsky prospect near the Kasan cathedral.
At the same time extensive preparations
wen made to quell any disturbances. The
police on the Nevsky prospect wore sex
tupled and the dvornlki, or house porters,
' were marshaled in front of their respective
buildings. Half a dozen squadrons of
' mounted gendarmes were massed In the
; rear of Kasan cathedral and battalions of
reserve .police were stationed in several
court yards out of sight. Minister of the
Interior Svlatopolk-Mlrsky gave strict or
ders, however, that no Cossacks should be
used, and Fulton, chief of police. Issued
explicit directions to avoid harsh measures
, unless it should become absolutely neces
sary. Crowd Fills the Thoroughfare.
The newspaper warnings, however, by
giving notice to those not appraised of the
prospect of a demonstration, defeated the
very object for which they; were designed,
attracting seemingly the whole population
, of this vast c,lty tq the eroad thoroughfare,
and long-before the hour fixed, despite the
pleading of the police, who literally lined
' the sidewalks, the throngs on , the pnve
i ments were so dense that movement was al
most Impossible, while the snow-covered
boulevard was black with a tangled mars of
sleighs filled mostly with the curious. In
the throngs on the sidewalk were practi
cally the whole student body of the cap
ital, Including many young women, who
have always been prominent In Russia In
liberal revolutionary movements, and also
thousands of workmen belonging to the
social labor party.
Red Pisa's Are Raised.
Toward 1 o'clock the workmen and stu
dents seemed, to swarm tho corner of the
Hotel Xurope, oppotlie h Kaxin catl edral.
The police, reccgnizli.g tnat the critical
moment was approaching, tried In vain to
keep back the human tide. Then, when
there was not a single mounted policeman
In sight, on the stroke of 1, from the heart
of the thickly wedged crowd, a blood-red
flag, like a jet of flame, suddenly shot up.
It was the signal. Other Mugs appeared In
the crowd, waving frantically overhead;
and they were greeted with a hoarse roar,
"Down with autocracy!" The students
surged into the street, singing the "Mar
. seillalse," while innocent spectators, seek
ing to extricate themselves, crowded into
doorways and hugged walls.
Dismounted police made a single at
tempt to force their .way into the crowd
to wrest the flags from the demonstrators,
but the students and workmen, armed wltn
sticks, stood close and beat back their
assailants. Then like a Dash from behind
the Kasan cathedral came a squadron of
gendarmes The doors of adjoining court
yards were thrown back and battalions of
police came out. A double squadron
charged the flunk of the demonstrators
with drawn sabers. Five other squadrons
circled the mob, cutting through the fringe
of spectators, who gladly scurried to cover.
The main wedge ,of the demonstrators stood
fast only a moment or two. There was
a sharp rattle of cudgels and sabers, though
the wounds showed the police struck prin
cipally with the flat of their sabers. The
women were especially fierce in their re
sistance. Many were struck and trampled
and blood streamed down their faces.
. While the mob stood, those within man
aged to throw hundreds of revolutionary
proclamations over the heads of their
fellows. The police urged their horses
Into the crowd, driving those wbo resisted
into the courtyards, the Hotel Europe
and the Catholic church. The intense ex
citement lssted about ten minutes, after
which mounted squads of the gendarmes
patrolled the streets and the policemen
devoted themselves to keeping the crowd
moving.
Few Seriously Hurt.
' Considering the fierce fight the rioters
had put up the police acted humanely
with the crowd, avoiding brutality in keep
ing the throng moving und showing more
consideration then the police of many
Anerlc&n cities would do under slmllur cir
cumstances. Meantime those conttened
In the court yards, who were recognised as
agitators, were arrested, but others wen
allowed to go quietly home, the wounded
first having their Injuries dressed. There
were probably a hundred broken heads
and several were severely wounded, though
none fatally so far as ascertainable. So
fare there have been over 100 arrests. The
ferment continued all day and Into the
nlgbt, but only one or two other abortive
attempts were made at demonstration, the
police being In such force that they had
no difficulty in seising the ringleaders
no resistance being made In any case.
The greatest distress is expressed by con
servative liberals over the day's events,
all declaring tlvat just what the fate of the
semstvo programme was In the balance

PROPERTY OWNERS ALARMED
Land Owners- Aeeorlatloa of Ireland
. Deplores the Growth of
Socialistic Ideas.
CORK, Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) At the annual meeting of the
Cork Landowners' association Lord Barry
more, who presided, referred to the Land
Purchase Act. The results of the last j
twelve months, he said, had ben very
satisfactory to the authors of the measure,
but whether the ultimate results would be
for the public benefit It was Imporsltde to
say. Up to the present Mr. Wyndham told
them 15.000.000 worth of land had paffsvd
through the court. Notifications of the
sale of 17,000,000 worth had reached the
court, and he had reason to believe that
20,000.000 worth had actually been sold.
The treasury could not advance more than
5.000,on0 annually and It was evident that
some of those who had sold would have
to wait one, two or more years for their
money. On agreements being sanctioned
TH per cent was payable to the landlords
ntll the capital sum was forthcoming
tat was 3tt per cent on the actual pur-
-nase money without any regard to the
bonus. A great many landlords were pay
ing 4 and i per cent on charges on ttielr j
pro pert Us und during the years they were j
waiting for their money they would find
themselves out of pocket 1H or 2 per cent,
or perhaps more.
Referring to the town tenants' agitation
now spreading throughout Ireland, and to
the organization of the laborers. Lord Bar
ry more suggested that the large and In
creasing number of pesant proprietors,
together with the owners of town propoety,
should Jlon with the landlords in protect
ing their property against predatory legis
lation. Mr. Longfleld said there was a very
socialistic spirit abroad just now and prop
erty of all sorts might be endangered In
the near future. Mr. Downe Webber, Mr.
Savage French and Mr. Penrose Fitzgerald
expressed the view that the landlords' con
vention would be more necessary In future
than It had been for the protection of prop
erty owners.
BERLIN CLEAN AND WICKED
Snch Is Claim Bnaatlnn-ly Made for
German Capital by
Resident.
BERLIN, Dec. It. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) In foreign ears Berlin has an
I Iron sound. It suggests a grim city and a
! dull existence a place of gloom and sever
ity. But In truth Berlin Is a bright city.
Its streets are wide and dignified; Its busi
ness houses gay and fresh. So far as out
ward appearance is concerned, the Oermnn
capital may almost be compared with Paris.
As regards naughtiness, the French capi
tal might even blush to find Itself In com
parlson with Berlin. "In the whole of
Europe," said a resident here this week,
not without a touch of pride, "there is no
city so wicked as Berlin."
By daylight this large city wears a
massive and almost splendid aspect. The
buildings are stately and regular. The
tall house, with scarce a chimney pot bft-
1 twnen them, are painted a fresh white.
; The atmosphere Is smokeless. The shop
windows axe lettered heavily . with gold,
and their walls and doors' are hung with
attractive signs. In many of the broad,
' straight streets a tree-shaded footpath runs
down the center. One walks on the banks
of the Spree under an avenue of sweet
smelling trees. Everything Is spotlessly
clean, even the trunks and branches of the
trees. You never see a grimy house; you
never cross a dirty road. More than this
; you never meet a dirty person,
j Outwardly, Berlin' is a city without
squalor. The misery of the gutter whlck
every minute hits the eye of London, eves
through the gayest thoroughfares, is here
nowhere to be found. Berlin has no gut.

EMIGRATION JFROM IRELAND
Society Opposed to Departure of
I People Makes Report on
Subject.
j DUBLIN. Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram to
' The Bee.) A report submitted by the Anel
1 Emigration society to the last meeting of
: the head council of the Gaelic league points
, out that the population In the Irlsh-spenk-ing
districts is declining more rapidly than
In the rest of the country and at a greater
; rate than formerly. During each of the
! last three years there were ten Irish coun
I tlee the emigration from which ranged from
ten to twenty-one per 1,000. Included in
these were seven Irish-speaking counties,
j Last year, when the ratio of emigration
: for the whole of Ireland was nine per 1.000.
j the rate In Mayo was twenty. In Kerry
eignieen, in uaiway seventeen, in Cork
fifteen, and in Sllgo fifteen. The only
Irlsh-speaklng county with a proportion of
emigration below the average is Donegal,
which had six per 1,000.
The counties of Mayo, Cork, Galway and
Kerry contributed 16,675 emigrants last year
or 42 per cent of the whole. The report
added that a large proportion of the boy
and girls In the Irlsh-speaklng districts
emigrate as soon as they iesve school and
that "the t time spent In teaching them
Irish In the schools is fruitless from the
point of vlow of keeping the language
alive." The counoll of the Gaello league
having promised to Investigate the condl
tlon of things reported by the Antl-Emlgra-tlon
society proceeded to adopt a resolu
tion demanding that the Irish language
should bo made a compulsory subject In the
national schools.

Protest Against Tar set Practice.
LONDON, Dec. 11. Captain Mills of the
American line steamer Philadelphia has
ordered a protest against reckless tsrget
practice carried on off Plymouth. He says
that as he approached the harbor on
Tuesday with many passengers on board
their safety was endungered by a gunbost
which persisted In firing, even after the
patrol launch apprised the gunboat of
the liner's approach. The captain said he
was obliged twice to stop and go full

CEREMONY AT ST. PETER'S
Fope Fine Officiates at the Canoniiatioi of
Two Saiata.
SIXTY THOUSAND PERSONS ATTEND
Second Time inch Service Has Been
Held Since 18TO Several Amer
ican Prelates Are In
. Attendance.
ROME, Dec. 11. In the presence of sixty
thousand people ansembled in St. Peter's
Pope Plus X this morning canonized
blessed Alrssandre Saull and blessed Oer
ardo Maiella descendants of whom. Includ
ing Marquises Ambroselo, Saull and
Negrotto, assisted in the canonization, a
ceremony so rare In recent times that this
is only the seond time that It has been
held since 1870.
The basilica was beautiful with electric
lights, its Immense height showing the
Illuminated to perfection. The throne
had been erected behind the high altar
and chair of St. Peter, having a device of
rays of gold with a picture of the trinity
in the center. Altogether the throne took
up a space 90x70 feet. Four banners
hung under the dome showing the chief
miracles of the new saints.
The papal procession met in the Slstlne
chapel, entering the basilica by the chapel
of the Holy Sacrament. The pope. In the
full pontifical coetume, was carried In the
sedla gestatorla with Its historic fans.
His robust figure and handsome head
shown thus to the best advantage, and
when he entered the church it was Impos
sible for the authorities to repress entirely
an outburst of loyalty of the multitude,
which cried "Long Live Pope Pius." The
scence was such as to evoke the devotion
of the beholder, everything having been
done to heighten the effect and tho central
figure In the ceremonial presenting a
picture never to be forgotten. His holiness
was preceded, surrounded and followed by
guards of the court and high prelates.
He looked pale, fatigued and less robust
than a year ago, as though the triple
crown was bearing heavily upon hi in.
Tho pope was thus escorted to the throne,
the cardinals, archbishops and bishops
forming a square about him.
The ceremony that followed was Intere-t-Ing
In the extreme. Pope . Plus, pontlll
cated, preserving a calm, reverential air
to the end, although he confessed later he
was greatly fatigued.
After the ceremony the procession was
re-formed amid murmurs of love and
loyalty. All the American prelates now
In Rome who assisted In the beatification
Thursday attended the ceremony of the
saints canonized today, as did also the
faculty of the American college at Rom.
WILL DROP WARSHIP'S RAM
Change In System of Fighting- Makes
Former I'seful Weapon
I'ndeslrable.
LONDON, Dec. 11. (Special Cablegram
The Bee.) It Is proposed to omit the ram
from the. battleships of the Lord Nelson
type and the cruisers bt the" Minotaur class.
The ram Is a weapon that has played a
prominent part In naval warfare, and ap
peals to the popular Imagination, but It Is
regarded as effective no longer. It came
Into general use with the Hotspur class.
These were battleships of 4,000 tons, with a
speed of eight knota A vessel of this dis
placement and speed might have many op
potunltles of ramming an adversary, bul
the service men of today regard the weapor
as a troublesome encumbrance.
"Take a ship like this," said the captail
of one of the county cruisers this week.
"Here Is a hull with a dead weight of 10,00,
tons and a maneuvering speed of eighteen
knots. Work out the momentum of such a
blow as we could give, and the figures will
make your brain reel. Before you can ram
your ship Vou must catch It. With the
high speed tactics of the present day, this
Is practically an Impossibility. Tou could
only catch It If it were disabled, and
no man would ram a helpless ship.
"Suppose, however, for the sake of argu
ment that you got home a square elghteen
knot broadside blow. Tou would cut clean
through your opponent nobody doubts
that for a minute. But what state would
you be In afterwards? Your hull might
sustain the Impact, although I should pre
dict a general bursting up of plate rivets.
"Half the boilers, whether they were box
ended or watertubea, would blow up with
the shock. Every steam pipe would give
out. The bedding bolts of the main en
gines would be wrenched free and the
whole mass of machinery would be slung
Into the fore stoke hold. Tour heavy guns
would jump clean outof their cradles. In
fact, I would just as soon set light to the
magazine room as use the ram In this
ship, for similar results would be accom
plished rather more quickly."

PROGRAM FOR THIS WEEK
t'pper Honae Will Consider the Philip
pine Civil Measure Vote to Bo
Taken Friday.
WASHINGTON. Dec ll.-The principal
event scheduled for the senste the pres
ent week Is the taking of the vote on the
Philippine civil bill which Is set down
for next Friday st t o'clock. Under the
agreement to vote, the bill remains the
tin finished business of the senate until that
date and it will have preference over all
other questions each day after 2 o'clock.
Many democratic senators are opposed to
the bill, but the best Information obtain
able Is that there will be no debate on the
Philippine question. They will devote
their efforts to securing a modification of
some of the provisions of the bill as es
pecially obnoxious, giving special attention
to the bond and Chinese Immigration
clause. After the vote on the Philippine
bill Frldsy the senate will adjourn until
the following Monday and It is considered
doubtful whether much more business of
general Importance will be then undertaken
until after Christmas, as many senators
have announced their Intention of leaving
for home Immediately after the vote on
the Philippine question. It had been the
original intention to press for adjourn
ment as early" as the 19th Inst., but there
Is now manifest a disposition to allow the
house to have Its wny In fixing the date
for the 21st, even though the senate re
mains technically In session, as will be the
case, according to the present outlook.
It Is the Intention not to' transact much
business other than the Philippine legisla
tion during the present week. Senator
Heyburn on Monday will make an effort
to secure consideration of the pure food
bill, but if he suoceeds In getting It before
the senate It would "not. be seriously
proceeded with before the holidays. It Is
believed that the statehood bill will not
be reported from committee before the
hollda ys.
The vacancies on the .senate committees
probably will be filled during the week.
PROGRAM OF THE LOWER HOI SK
Today Will Be Devoted to Private
Pension Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. The house will
begin the sceond week of the session
with consideration of private pension bills,
Monday having been made pension day.
On Tuesday the resolution reported by
the judiciary committee to Impeach Charles
Swayne, . Judge of the Northern district of
Florida, comes .before the house as a
special order. Its consideration having been
deferred by resolution at the last session
to that day, and authority given the Judi
ciary committee to take further testi
mony. All the evidence taken, Including
that heard since the last session, has been
printed for the . use of members of the
house. A supplemental report has been
submitted to the house by the Judiciary
committee advising the house of additional
testimony, It Is probable that the appro
priations committee may report a snort
urgent deficiency bill during the week, and
It Is barely possible that the District of
Columbia appropriation bill may b4 re
ported by the end of the week.
A subcommittee .is hard al work framing
the bill.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., Dec 11.
Four of the twenty members of the crew
of the Boston Ashing schooner. Fish Hawk,
lost their lives last night after deserting
their vessel, which had struck and was
pounding heavily on Peaked Hill bars at
the north end of Cape Cod. Five others,
including Captain Bly, who followed their
four companions over the side, had a se
vere six hours' tussle against a freezing
sea and gule In a small dory, but managed
to reach Provlncetown harbor. The deaths
and suffering would have been avoided bad
all stayed by their vessel, which had a
miraculous escape, and four hours later
was safely anchored In Provlncetown har
bor. The Fish Hawk was Ashing off Cape Cod
yesterday, when the weather became
threatening and Captain Bly decided to run
Into Provlncetown. Before he reached the
end of the cape the vessel fetched up on
the Peaked Hill bars. Captain Bly burned
his signal torch and then ordered his crew
Into the boats. Four of the seamen Jumped
Into a dory which was almost Immediately
capsized. Captain Bly and four others left
the vessel a few minutes later. Before the
rest of the crew could follow their skipper,
the wind and sea had driven the Fish Hawk
over the bar and it was navigated into
Provlncetown harbor.

Cotton Pest.
SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 11. Delegates
are arriving here In large numbers to at
tend the national boll weevil convention,

( ASSETS OF MRS. CHADWICK
Indications that Her Creditors Will Oct
One and a Half Mills en the Dollar.
CHARGE OF rORGERY WILL NOT HOLD
Lawyers Say that aa She Did Sat Try
to Hearottate Boms Paper She
faaaol Be Prosccnted on
that Chnrge.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec 11. According to
the most accurate estimate of the estaW
of Mrs. Chadwick that Is possible, before
the receiver has Investigated her as et
and reported his finding to the court, her
creditors as a whole will receive abcut
one and one-half mills on the dollar. What
lends additional Interest to this showing,
from the creditors' standpoint. Is that one
man, Iri Repnolds, will receive the whole
of the assets visible at the present time.
There may be funds in reserve somewhere,
as there may be addition creditors, who
have not yet announced that Mrs. Chad
wick is Indifcted to them, but it is not ex
pected by bankers and attorneys of thli
city, who have the greatest knowledge of
her affairs, that any more large loans will
be developed.
The extent of her operations Is now
believed to be approximately as follows:
Secured from Citizens National
Bank of Oberlln snd various
sources In and about Lorain
county, Ohio S 600,000
Borowed from Herbert D. New
ton 190,000
Borrowed from business men In
Pittsburg 600,000
Total $1,190,003
Against this stands security of known
value, one note amounting to 11,800, which
is held by Irl Reynolds.
The amount of money received by Mrs.
Chadwick In Pittsburg may run as high
as $800,000, but It Is bellved that a portion
of this sum Is a bonus promised by her
for an original loan of $500,000. Her
creditor there figures that she Is indebted
to him for the larger amounts, while she
has admitted that she owes $500,000. If
her debt In this direction Is $809,000 tha
probability In sight of the credl.ors I
about one and one-fifth mills on the dollar.
It Is not believed by any of the attorneys
In the case that the Carnegie securities
will be of any account whntever. If they
do at any time reveal value other than
that of so many cents per pound of white
paper, the delight of tho lawyers will be
comparable only to their amazement, and
Just now they are anticipating neither
pleasure nor astonishment.
Forgery Charge Will Not Hold.
The case of Mrs. Chadwick will to
morrow morning be brought before the
grand Jury of Cuyahoga county. The
investigation will only extend to the
alleged forgeries of the Carnegie notes,
and a report from this jury Is expected
no later than Tuesday.
It is tho opinion of some of tha leading
attorneys of Cleveland that the charge of
forgery cannot bo made U hold In con
nection with these notes. They declare
that It Is not an 'act of' forgery for one
person to write the name of another, but
that the, offense licit In the attempt to
negotiate such a signature for a specif ;
value. This, they say, there Is, so far,
no evidence, that Mrs. Chadwick has dono.
She has not sold or attempted to sell tho
notes for cash. She has not said that Mie
would be glad to obtain money in exchange
for them. She haa obtained from various
sources the statement of Irl Reynolds
that she, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, held securities of a certain value,
and whether ho proves correct or otherwise
In his estimate of the value of the notes,
there can be no doubt that Mr. Reynolds
believed what he said. There has been, ac
cording to the attorneys, no evidence so
far elicited showing that Mrs. Chadwick
obtained money on theae notes in any other
manner than through the attestation of Iri
Reynolds that he had seen the notes and
considered them good. It any man loaned
money to Mrs. Chadwick acoording to the
strength of bis belief in the ability of Mr.
Reynolds to judge accurately of the value
of securities, then the affair, according to
the attorneys who hold this view of the
case, is one that rests only between that
man and his own hard luck. Other charges
may be brought home to her, they declare,
but in their opinion it will be somewhat
difficult to punish her for forgery In con
nection with the Carnegie notes, unless It
can be shown that she endeavored to ne
gotiate them. This apparently Is the opin
ion of the Lorain county grand Jury, which
failed to return an indictment against her.
The loan of $800,000 said to have been re
ceived by Mrs. Chadwick In Pittsburg, or

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Dec. ll.-Clnd
only In his underclothing, a raving maniac
from an attack of typhoid fever, James
Delatto, an Italian, .12 years of sge, with
an axe held seven policemen at bay for
over two hours in the Fifth Reformed
Dutch church shortly before the morning
service todny.
Before being captured he Jumped on top
of the big pipe organ and policemen were
compelled to climb Into it from overhead
to capture him.
In the capture three policemen were cut
with the axe and Delatto was shot through
the head, but may recover. The organ
was damHged to the extent of $1,500 and
other damage was caused in the church
by the axe.
Two officers were first sent to the church
when the police were notified that De
latto was there. They could do nothing
with the man and more were sent for.
When reinforcements arrived, Delatto,
armed with the axe,, crawled up on top
of the pipe organ. The officers then pro
cured ladders to climb up after him, but
as fast as the ladders were placed against
the organ the maniac cut them down.
Tiring of this he Jumped down Into tho
organ among the -pipes. In a narrow space
not more than four feet square. . Officer

bejn knocked loose and Jumped In after
him. There the two men fought, one with

the axe, being cut through the chin and
losing several teeth. Officer Steed also
plunged Into the pit, the axe was finally
wrenched from him, but he fought with
tooth and nail until Steed's face Is hardly
recognizable. Officer Spring finally se
cured a secure hold on the maniac from
In front and he was overpowered and hand
cuffed. At the Jail it required the com
bined efforts of seven of the strongest men
In the department to hold the man until
he could be shackled and chloroformed so

Officers Steed, Spring and Blatter are In
capacitated by injuries received In the

TOKIO, Dec. 11.-4 p. m. The Japanese
continue to batter the Port Arthur fleet
and there is little ground for expecting
that It will ever again engage the Japanese.
The battleship Sobastnpol continues at
anchor outside, but possibly returns to tho
harbor at night and anchors inside tho
outer boom, which protects It from tor
pedo boats. The recent heavy weather has
given added protection to the vessel.
Naval experts are discarding the theory
that the Russians themselves sank any
of. the ships. The fact that the vessela
first showed lists while In exposed posi
tions and the efforts made to save fno
Sebastopol sre regarded as conclusive evi
dence against the theory of their being
sunk by the Russians. A majority of tho
sunken warships lie headed northward.
They received the bulk of the fire across
their port sides and the fnct that at least
two of them showed lists to starboard
gives rise to the theory that Japanese
shells exploded Inside the ships and against
the starboard armor, driving the armor
outward and causing leaks. To make
sure of the destruction of the Russian
warships the Japanese continue to drop
shells Into the sunken hulks.
Looking; for Torpedo Boots.
The whereabouts of the torpedo boat
destroyers continues doubtful, but it la
thought they sre sheltering outside tho
harbor. The weather prevents a good
observation being made, but the Japanese
are sending a searching fire Into the nooks
which are not observable from 303-Meter
hill and other heights. The observers
report a number of tugs, launches, dredg
ers and small craft anchored near tho
hospital ships In the west harbor, where
they evidently have gone for the purpose
of obtaining protection. It is suggested
that the besiegers notify Lieutenant General
Stoesscl to separate these vessels from tho
hospital ships or take the consequence.
The Japanese are exercising care to avoid
hitting the hospital ships, which frequently
are In the direct line of Are.
