SAILOR FORCED
STAY ON SHIP
AGAINST WIl!
SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 9 (by As
sociated Press). — Unless Reginald
Harkins, ship’s fireman, who describes
himself as an American citizen, is al
lowed to land from the Canadian-Aus
tralian liner Makura when that vessel
reached Vancouver upon her last voy
age from here to that port, or he man
ages to land somewhere en route, he
runs the risk of being carted up and
down the Pacific indefinitely.
Harkins’ account of himself was
given in Sydney just before the Ma
kura sailed from here with him
aboard.
“Back in January a man with my
name reached Vancouver on this boat.
He asked for a day off, but the chief
engineer refused him. He went ashore
without leave, got into a street fight,
had his leg broken, and was taken to
a hospital. The chief engineer re
ported him a deserter. The Canadian
authorities arrested me as being the
Reginald Hawkins who had deserted.
“They put me on board the liner
Niagara bound for Sydney. I didn’t
want to go, so when the steamer
reached Honolulu I left her. At the
I instigation of the Union Steamship
Company, agents for the Canadian
Australian boats, the immigration au
thorities at Honolulu arrested me and
forcibly put me on board the Makura.
Not wanting to be idle I worked as a
stoker from Honolulu. I signed on
at £15 a month. When I reached
here I couldn’t get my money and the
Canadian authorities wouldn’t let me
off the ship.
“I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, 4.2
* years ago. I left America when I was
seven years old. I came to Australia
and stayed here until I was 25. Since
they I have traveled about the world
in ships. When I was brought on
board this boat (the Makura) at Hon
olulu, the chief engineer and the pur
ser admitted that I was not the man
who went off the boat at Vancouver,
but in spite of all that the capain took
me out to sea.”
Harkins complains further that on
the strength of promises by the cus
toms authorities at Sydney that he
would be released from detention on
the Makura if he signed a certificate
that he was an alien, he signed the
paper, but the promise was not kept.
The American consul here, E. J. Nor
ton, took up Harkins’ case, but was
unable to do anything on the man’s
behalf because of lack of proper proof
of American citizenship.
“The whole thing,” he said, “goes
back to the action of the Canadian au
thorities.”
. STEAMSHIP MARKET
AT LOW EBB IN JAPAN
TOKIO. Aug. 9 (by Associated
Press).—A feature of the economic
depression in Japan is the weakness
of the steamship charter market.
About fifteen large ocean-going ships
are tied up at Kobe and Osaka and
about 50 other ships will soon be re
leased from old charter contracts.
Owners will haye great difficulty in
finding new contracts on account of
the slump in the sea carrying trade.
With the accentuated depression in
the shipping market, the price of
ships has declined, the present stand
ard quotation being equivalent to $135
to $140 a ton. In spite of the decline
there have been no buyers at home
for some time past, but some vessels
are being sold to Dutch concerns.

GERMAN SHIPS
ALLOCATED TO
U. S. ARRIVING
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Four of the five Ger
man warships allocated to the United
States for experimental purposes
were in the thick of the fighting at
the battle of Jutland, according to
naval intelligence records here. The
vessels are due at New York from
Brest, France, this week* and under
a clause of the peace treaty they must
be destroyed within a year after
their arrival.
The light cruiser Frankfurt, now a
wreck in machinery and being towed
to the United States by the transport
Hancock was the first ship in the
German battle line when it collided
with the British grand fleet, while
the 22,000-ton dreadnaught Ostfries
land was the ninth ship in the line,
immediately in the rear of the flag
ship of the German commander-in
chief. Admiral Scheer.
Of the three destroyers, all of
which are being towed over as a re
sult of their submersion with the
German Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow,
the G-102 and the V-43 were in the
forefront of the fighting throughout
the Jutland engagement.
Leading a division of four scout
cruisers that bore the brunt of the
British fire at the opening of the
engagement, the Frankfurt, flagship
of Rear Admiral Brodicker, was hit
four times, but with a small calibre
shell in each instance and stayed in
the fight to the finish. The third
cruiser behind her was sunk at the
opening of the engagement. The
Frankfurt, which has a speed of 28
knots, is believed to have partici
pated also in raids on the British
coast.
Although she was well up in line
and her 12-inch guns worked through
out contact with the British fleet, the
dreadnaugbt Ostfriesland, flagship of
Vice Admiral Schmidt, commanding
battle squandron No. 1, escaped with
out a major blow, so far as naval
records here disclose, but was dam
!
aged later by hitting a mine during
withdrawal to Wilhelmshaven.
Of the two destroyers, the G-102
was with the scouting forces, close to
the Frankfurt, at the opening of the
attack on the British battle cruiser
divisions at 4 -.30 p. m., and later in
the general engagement with Brit
ish destroyers sent out to cover the
battle cruisers. The V-43 also was
in the thick of the fight and was in
cluded in the flotilla that launched the
destroyer attack under cover of which
the German fleet began its withdraw
al. The third destroyer in the group
the S-122, is believed to have been
completed at the close of the war.
The warships will be open to public
inspection shortly after their arrival
at New York and the navy depart
ment is now considering plans to send
them to other ports. As only the
Ostfriesland is able to proceed under
her own power, however, she may
be the only one of the group to go to
Norfolk in two weeks.
During the trans-Atlantic trip Capt.
Julius F. Hellweg, United States
navy, was in charge of the fleet.
That western woman’s contention
that she need not give her exact age,
beyond the fact that she was more
than 21 years of age, will doubtless
be sustained. She seems to be within
her rights. Registration is not to
find people’s ages other than that
voters are of proper age to qualify.
