mf BRITISH SAILORS FA C£ MUTINY CHARGE AFTER RESCUE AT SEA Saved From Wrecked Steame r, They Tell Conflicting Stor- ies About the Death of Captain â€" AH Survivors Are From Newfoundland. A despatch from Phrlndelphia cays: â€" Kour sailors, saved amid all the perils of a storm at niffht in mid- ocean, are now held at tho immigrant station at Gloucester, N.J., to await « henring before tho British Consul on a charge of mutiny. An air of mystery suri-ounds the causes which led to the <!< ath of the I Capta'n and the Mate nf the schoon-j cr Onito, endirff with the distress j sipnal whiol^uninioned the steamship, Zirkcl to their aid. The Zirl^el docked | Thursday afternoon at the Washing-; ton avenue wharf, and the Captain, | Daniel A. Sullivan, of New York city,^ tdid a story that rivaled the Action of, many writers. Oij the nipht of October 8, during a heavy storm, the officers of the Zir- kel saw distress flares from some ; vessel ahead. As they pulled nearer! eigns of (Treat commotion were, noticeable on the craft, which ap-' pcared to be a two-masted schooner. I In an effort to circumvent the schoon- er and approach closer, the,stcerinf; Ifcar of the ZirVel snapped, and fori four hours she wallowed helplessly ini the troufrh of a heavy sea. Finally a lifeboat was launclied,| under tho direcli'on of Chief Officer i;. Sims and six men, and approached the distressed craft, so that four rnen could jump into the boat. So heavy were tlie seas that when the return to the ship was made the boat was sma.shed while efforts were made to haul it back on the steamer, but the crew and the rescued men were saved. The four men, all from Newfound- land, were Thomas llculton, age 29; Ernest F.izzard, atre 10, of Burin, Newfoundland; and Douglas Nichol, age 24, and Lorenzo Ash, age 24, of Carboncar, Ncv.-foundlan:!. They sauX that the boat was sinking and thtit the Captain, -James Urussia, of Rurin, and his brother Ernest, the Mate, were killed '.luring a shifting of the cargo of salt some days previous, and buried at sea. Capt. Sullivan gave the men the freedom of the ship and took good care of them, but the stories they saon cirrulated concerning the loss of the Brussia brothers became vari- ous and conflicting, easily exciting suspicions that all had not l)oen told, as a re.'ult of which they were turned! over to tho immigration authorities to; await the action of .he British Consul.

FORTY MILUON DOLLAR EOLSHEVIKI DEFEAT TRADE WITH GREECE, JS IMMINENT British Trade Offensive Is Planned to Follow Col- lapse of Reds. .A despatch from Londcn say.'',: â€" The imni'ncnl collapse of the whole Bol- .shevist movement is being foretold by optimists. It is predicted that the BolsheA iki will be driven to Tashkind, and them e to th*? borders of .Afghan- istan, which development causes some anxiety here. In the meantime, all the British commercial forces are being mobilized for a great trade ofl'cnsive, which i.s expected fruitfully to follow the Bol- shevist defeat. Under the aegis of the Oversea Trade Department of the Foreign Office a British Central Rus- sian Institute is being organized here, the object of which is said to be "the collection and dissemination of exact information about Ru.= sia. Every sort of (iovernnicnt aid is being given to assist British traders in meeting other countries on favoralile terms on the great commercial battlefield which Russia is expected to provide. Side by side w,ith the perpetual com- plaints that Great Britivin is being left behind in tho commercial race come startling proofs of the unremit- ting energy that British manufact&r- ers have all along been (luietly devot- ,ing to meeting the demands of afler- the-war trade.

Of this sum only $10,000,000 have been financed under the Canadian Govern-' ment credit to that country, the re-! maining business having been done on a cash basis. Our exports have rang- 1 ed from wheat to soldiers' housewives. The Roumanian credit is now iiracti- cally used up. Only about half a mil-| lion dollars' worth of business has j been done under the Belgian credit. | Under the French credit we hav* done | nothing at all, principally becau.se of i the prohibitive French .surtaxes. There - sre time clauses in these contracts ! which terminate them at the end of the present year. It is considered ! doubtful whether the French credit' will be renewed or the Belgian credit exhausted, as these countries appar- 1 ently wish to do all their own work of reconstruction.
