!0F THE KROONLAND
r _
\Yii; Ask British Authorities
for Reasons for Holding
American Steamship
at Gibraltar
’Wuhlnirtfln, October 30.—The state
department baa decided to proteat to
Cheat Britain against detention of the
AMorlcan ateamnhlp Kroonland. held
jpf at Gibraltar with none 1200 paa
^eagen and a cargo of copper bound
(from New York for Italian and Greek
porta
The British authorities will b« asked
»r bather the vessel is held because she
parries conditional contraband or be
tpmse German and Austrian reservists
are among her passengers. Full informa
tion In the case is lacking, but depart
ment officials believe the ship either
should be released or taken forthwith
into a prize court.
Tt Is contended the United States has
g right to demand full protection for
American cargoes shipped in American
or neutral bottoms to neutral ports, leav
ing It to Great Britain to obtain guaran
tees from the neutral countries to which
the cargoes are consigned, that conditional
contraband w!Tl not be re-exported to a
belligerent. Italy already has placed an
embargo upon exports of all war supplies,
but so far as is known here Greece has
not taken such action.
It was pointed out tonight that the
Kroonland sailed from New York 10 days
before Great Britain added copper to the
Mat of conditional contraband and made
no stops en route to Gibraltar, and there
fore should not be subject to seizure on
account of her cargo.
So far no official communication has
bean received concerning the reported de
tention of the Italian steamers San Gio
vanni and Begina D’ltalla, but as these
vessels carry American copper cargoes,
the state department probably will pro
test also against their detention at
Gibraltar, especially as they are billed
to Italian poi-ts.
The state department has been notified
of several changes in the rules as to
ontraband Just made by the British privy
:ouncll. A new rule providing that a
lentral vessel may be held responsible
m one voyage for what she did on a
■receding voyage was much commented
n as radical departure from the long
stabllshed practice.

Colonel Roosevelt Makes Statement in Speech at Princeton.
Charges Two Empires Now at War Have Designs
on New York and San Francisco
Princeton, N. J., October 30.—Col
onel Roosevelt told Princeton students
In an address today that he had seen
the T>lans of two empires now involved
In the European war to capture great
American seaports and hold them for
ransom.
‘It is this country’s duty,” said Col
onel Roosevelt, “to put Itself In such
shape that it will be able to dofend
fts rights if they are Invaded. I my
self have seen the plans of at least two
..It....
empires now Involved in war to cap
ture our great cities and hold them lor I
ransom because our standing army is !
too weak to protect them. I have seen :
deliberate plans prepared to take both ;
San Francisco and New York and hold
them for ransoms that would cripple
our country and give funds to the
enemy for carrying on war.”
Colonel Roosevelt after his speech
declined to amplify his statement re
garding the plans of European na
tions to capture the seaports of this
country, which he said he had seen.

LOVE’S IRONY
oi A BbABT-FURNACB MANAGKK.
[Verses read at the banquet of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers,
Birmingham, by R. W. Raymond. Clip
ping preserved from Age-Herald of about
25 years ago by D. A. Oden.J
I frankly own ’tis not my part
To sing as poets can;
In strains of ordinary art
I praise my Mary Ann.
When first by love's reducing flame
I found myself surprised,
And In her coal-black eyes became
Completely carbon-ized.
All former dreams up chimney flue;
I dream of her instead,
No other train of thought goes through
The tunnel of my head.
At merest touch of her fair hand
I feel love’s potent spell;
The inwalls of my heart expand.
As tiiey would burst the shell.
Her hair Is dark as magnetite
(In not too lean a piece);
Her face js like a limestone white,
Just flushed with manganese.
With Clinton red her lips are lined;
And for the rest, I’ll say
She seems to he of most refined,
Yet not refractory, clay.
And when she waltfles, who is he
Would have the heart to stop her?
’Tis such a witching sight to see
That lovely belle and hopper!
I gaze upon her, ore and ore.
Her slender bosh and throat,
Her mantle lifted from the floor,
Her red short petticoat.
I wish I were the broldered rag
Wiat wipes away her tears;
I wish I were two drops of slag,
To hang at her tuyeres!
Would she life's burden take with rf»e
From barrows, cars or trucks—
Good luck Indeed! Why, that would be
The very best of flux!
No silly Kate should spoil our loves
With acid atoms plus,
The hottest blast of Gordon s stoves
Should make no fuss-for-us!
Like fluid cinder from the spout
Our life should flow rejoiced.
Together, at the last blowout,
We’d mount the heavenly hoist!
One fateful day, I broke the bound
That erst had held me fast?
And poured my glowing passion round
Jn one tumultuous cast. •
Alas! her answer made me sick,
In tones too much like fun,
She said, “my friend, you melt too quick;
You can’t beat No. 1.”
This cruel sentence in ray brain
Wrought transformation strange,
1 felt myself In every grain
Molecularly change.
I grew first mottled and then white
By chemical graduation,
Obeying Jn my chilly plight
The law of graphltation.
But as she turned, I heard her say
(And hope again grew big),
“He might be useful, in his way,
To mix with other pig!”
“Not so,” 1 cried, “for you and me
Love’s open hearth has room;
And I the only pig will be,
While you supply the bloom!”
Said she, “These impudent affronts
('an never stand excused.”
“Madam.” I said, “I’ve melted once
And will not be re-fused.”
Thus finished 1 my first campaign,
Retiring from the field,
Yet trusting, when I charge again
She will begin to yield.
For love dares all In fiery war;
And love’s career will end
Hither upon a scaffold, or
Upon a dividend.
O Mary Ann! if fuel smile
My care will turn to cash.
The fact that you’re so volatile,
Does not make me more rash.
Faith, it would be a splendid joke
(And J will do It, yet!)
To try, instead of Warrior coke
A well-prepared coquette.
What metallurgic triumph can
Be more complete than that —
To substitute my Mary Ann
In place of Alary Pratt!
300 MEMBERS OF THE
AMERICAN IRON AND
STEEL INSTITUTE ON
TRIP OVER DISTRICT
(Contlpnefl from P«xe One)
becue was a feature of tbe day. The
Tennessee company band entertained
the guests while at lunch. President
Farrell, Judge Gary and a few others
took a launch ride about the lake.
The only toast at the barbecue, so
far as could be learned, was In but
termilk. There were other liquids
there. Hut this toast was proposed by
Judge Gary to Editor Ponton of Cleve
land as being “one man true to his
convictions," the judge having refer
ence to Mr. Fenton's few remarks at
the banquet at the Tutwiler in which
he said he resented ftnff the institute
should resent the charges being made
against iron and steel men of the
country.
Edgewater After the Barbecue
After the barbecue Edgewater was
visited. From there the train ran into
the by-produet plant and then to tho
wire mill, which was in full operation
in every department, presenting a truly
wonderful sight as the members were
taken through the mill so as to see a
piece of raw material come out of tho
furnace and trace it through its every
change until it ended up as a part of
a wire fence, a roll of wire or a nail.
At this point Judge Gary, President
Farrell, George Gordon Crawford and
others of the visitors formed a party
which left in automobiles for a hasty
tour of the residence districts of the
city.
A tour of rhe residence district is
also planned for today, starting from
the Tutwiler hotel. The Itinerary of
the excursion today is as follows:
Leave Birmingham (Louisville and
Nashville railroad station), via Bir
mingham Southern railroad, 9:15 a. m.
Arrive Thomas (Republic Iron and
Steel company furnaces), via Birming
ham Southern railroad, 9:30 a. m.
Leave Thomas. via Birmingham
Southern railroad, 10 a. m.
Arrive Ensley (East End furnace
plant), via Birmingham Southern rail
road, 10:20 a. m.
I^eave West End furnace plant, via
Birmingham Southern railroad, 11:05
a. m.
Arrive open hearth, via Birmingham
Southern railroad. 11:15 a. m.
Arrive rail mill, finishing depart
ment (walk), 11:4(1 a. m.
Arrive rail mill (walk). 11:55 a. m.
Arrive #Turbo Btatlon (walk), 12:15
p ,m.
Leave Ensley Turbo station, via Bir
mingham Southern railroad, 12:30 p. m.
Arrive Birmingham (Louisville and
Nashville railroad station), via Bir
mingham Southern railroad, 1 p. m.
Very few of the visitors left for home
last night. With the exception of a
dozen or so, they are staying all of
today and many of them Intend staying
over Sunday, it Is said.
Thoughts on the Excursion .
“What do you think of what you
saw?” was a question asked yesterday
evening after thee trip to Iskoda,
Woodward, Bayview, Edgewater and
the wire mill had been completed and
the members of the institute were
bound for Birmingham from Fairfield.
Following are some of the replies:
Judge Elbert H. Gary: “I have
been greally pleased by what I
have seen about the city and the
many improvements made through
out the dlstriot by our people. This
district is destined to still greater
things.”
Jame A. Farrell. “The Fairfield
wire mill Is the latest to be built
by the corporation, and is as near
perfection as we know how to make
it. It was with great pleasure I
Inspected the mill and other iron
and ateel and coal properties to
day. They compare favorably with
the best In the county.”
Joseph G. Butler, Jr., (“Uncle
Joe”), vice president Brier Hill
Steel company, Youngstown, O.:
“This district has a wonderful
future, in my estimation, owing to
*he fact that there Is comparatively
no local market for your products
and it therefore will become the
chief export center of the Ameri
can iron and steel industry. The
improvements here are wonderful,
•a
In every sense of the word, f know
no better way to express it.”
W. B. Perley, New York, assistant
to President Farrell: "I of course
am prejudiced in favor of the dis
trict, for I think it is a wonderful
place. The Improvements here in the
past several years have made the
Birmingham district a very impor
tant factor in the Iron and steel
business.”
George Mesta, president Mesta Ma
chine Company, Pittsburg: “I think
the Birmingham district compares fa
vorably with any iron and steel cen
ter in the world. The developments
here are truly wonderful.”
Karl Niebecker, steam engineer of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com
pany, Youngstown. O.: "These plants
are models of efficiency and display re
markable engineering skill. Their lo
cation with reference to the ore and
coal deposits is exceptionally fine. The
most interesting thing to me was tie
large dam at Bayview—the solution of
the water problem for the Tennessee
company. Difficult conditions have
there been met and worked out with
wonderful skill and ft should meet all
contingencies. The arrangement of
the power plant and pumping Staton
at Kdgewater are wonderfully sys
tematic. They show much care and
attention has been given to details and
should prove highly efficient.”
Mining Towns Are Models
G. A. Reinhardt, metallurgist,
Youngstown, O.: "The by-product
coke plant is a model. The layout of
the American Steel and Wire plant
is wonderful, minimizing all surplus
handling and cartage, eliminating any
difficulty of manipulation and insuring
continuity of service. The conversion
of the waste liquor from the pickling
vats into iron sulphate is progressive
and reduces waste. The mining towns
are models of their kind. The dif
ferent phases of the welfare work are
probably the best in the world, no
other company showing as much con
cern for the health, education, said- !
talon and similar conditions of their I
employes. The barbecue was novel, j
especially to the men from the north, !
to whom such an event is a rare oc
currence, many of them never before i
having attended one.”
Alex L. Hoerr, steam engineer Na
tional Tube Company, McKeesport, J
Pa.: "I am sure every one has greatly
enjoyed tho trip. #It was wonderful.
That wire mill we Just came through
is the Jast word in wire mills. I doubt
it the people of Birmingham realize
what it is doing. Edgewater, in my
estimation, presents the most reme'li
able development we have seen today.
In welfare work I believe this district
is far ahead of the north.”
John Hulst, chief engineer Carnegie
Steel Company, Pittsburg: "This dis
trict certainly affords wonderful op
portunities. Anil you are beginning to
take advantage of them. The change
in the last six years, it belnf^ that long
since 1 have been here, is remarkable.
The wire mill is the best of its kind I
have ever seen.”
Jones W. Porch, southern manager
the Lukens Iron and Steel Company,
New Orleans: "The Birmingham dis
trict is the Aladdin lamp dream of
the iron and steel business.”
W. C. Prendergast, vice president of
John C. Vance Iron and Steel Com
pany, Chattanooga: "I have tried to
imagine all ray life the magnitude of
this district, hut since I have seen a
part of It I am arnased. It is beyond
description. T am coming back some
time to see It good. It would take two
weeks to do so.”
L. C. Dilkes. general manager of
sales of the Eastern Steel Company,
New York: "This district presents the
most remarkable concentration of raw
materials I have ever seen. Birming
ham is to be congratulated upon the
advent of the Steel corporation into
the district seven years ago. and I *»m
not a Steel corporation man, which I
want understood in connection with
that statement. The properties are
splendid. Nothing could look better.
The wire mill at Fairfield Is a pearl.”
