GERMAN SHIP DEFIES ALLIES TO MAKE NEW LONDON PORT Willchad, From Boston, Goes to Await Second Submarine XEW LONDON, Conn., Aug. 25. Nosing her way through a fog, while a llttlo tug puffed and snorted alongside, tho North German Lloyd liner "Wlllehnd swung Into tho pier of tho Stato Ocean Steamship Company hero today, ndding nnother chap ter to German deflanco of tho Allied war ship patrol off the Atlantic coast. Customs olllclals and all New London believe the coming of the Wiliehad fore casts the early nrrlval of the merchant submarine Bremen, from the German port of that name. The Wiliehad mado tho trip from Boston without escort. Coming through tho Cape Cod Canal and thenco out to open sea, the liner traversed more than fifty miles of her Journey through a zono In which sho was subject to attack or cap ture, had, enemy ships sighted her. Sho went out beyond the three-mile limit, but was not molested It Is believed tho Wiliehad Is to serve In the same capacity for the Bremen as the Neckar, interned nt Baltimore, did for the Deutschland. Tho Bremen'B cargo will probably be transferred to the Wiliehad, which will act .as a 'mother ship" for the submarine, housing her crew while they are In port, and nlso protecting the submersible from enemy eyes. As tho Deutschland waa nestled closo to the Neckar, with a protect ing tug on the opposlto side, and a wall and barge acting as barriers at either end, so Is tho Bremen expected to be warped snugly Into the pier alongside the Wiliehad here. Off Manomet Point the Wiliehad Blghted . uusplclous-looklng craft heading toward her, and she chose a course near the shore. The Wlllehad's pilot had received' ordera .that if approached by hostile craft she should be beached. The Wiliehad Is the first German steam ship to leave voluntarily the friendly refuge i a naroor. $1000 ESTATE FOR NUNS "Woman Leaves Virtually Her Entire Fortune to Catholic Sisters.

It was brought up In pieces, ahln bones, thigh bones, and then ribs, a part of the spine and more ribs. Tho skull has not yet been found. "Who Is It?" one Inquirer asked. "Who waa It, you mean," was the re-joinder-Some suggested that It was Captain Kldd or Sir Walter Raleigh. "G'wan," said a newsle, "It's a shark !"

Tho pleco of cool-looking ground creeps south as far ns Locust street. It Is dotted here nnd thero with monuments nnd a drinking fountain or two. It Is known ns Washington Square. This restful-looking spot, an oasis In tho busy, bustling business district, appealed strongly to a rather ragged strnnger ns ho surveyed It from n distance. It was with a sigh of relief that ho mado his way toward It. Ho paused at tho entrance. Perhaps he couldn't tarry there. Ah, yen tho sign on ono of tho broad walks clearly said It was "a resting nnd breathing placo for tho public." In n flash tho world seemed better. Hero wns a spot where oven tho down-and-outcr could rest without annoyance from a police man's club, Tho stranger flopped con tentedly Into tho arms of a welcoming bench nestled closo to a spreading tree. Even tho tree Itsolf seemed to welcomo him. A slight breeze whlspeicd gently through the branches. It seemed to say "Stay right here and rest, brother. Think not of rules and laws. This is for you." Tho stranger was tired. Across from Washington Squaro on Seventh street a hurdy-gurdy burst forth In a well-known melody about a summor day. The visitor drank In tho tune with nil enrs.

When ho reached the statue ho could hardly stand. Ho did not doubt the meaning on Iho tablet which announced that tho monu ment was "To Our Fallen Comrades." So tho visitor fell on thc sidewalk. When ho struggled to his feet ho dis covered tho cause of tho odor. Moro than half tho triangular lawns wcro covered with phosphntc, tho fumes of which wcro wafted to all parts o! tlio square. It was small wonder that many mothers with sickly-looking babes had Bono to tho outermost edge of tho place. Hut no matter whero they went tho odor greeted them.

Aug. 25. The Stato De partment still Is without any ofllclal Infor mation regarding tho seizure by British cruisers of the American fishing schooners Maxlne KUtott nnd Llzzlo GrlfTln while fish ing In the open sea oft tho coast of Iceland. Consul General ltobcrt I'. Skinner, nt Lon don, has demnnded an explanation, but haa been told that It cannot bo mado Until n report has been received from tho Admiralty. Tho two schooners nro held nt Berwick, Shetland Islands, nnd their detention may add to tho friction constantly growing be tween the United States nnd Great Britain over tho lattcr's maritime methods. In connection with this Belzure nnd tho detention of 150 Dutch nnd many Norweglnn and Swedish fishing rraft, tho American ICmbassy nt London has communicated to thc Stnto Department that ns far as tho Dutch and Scandinavian craft aro concerned tho British Government plans to Justify Its notion It will, In Its reply to the Neth erlands Government now nbout complete, ndmlt tho right of Dutch fishermen to ply their trnde anywhere, but will declare that tho majority of tho fleet now nro controlled by German capital, nnd that tho catch In vnrlnbly finds Its way Into Germany for consumption there.

This control nnd ownership by Ger mans, according to tho British view, will preface figures compiled by English ngents In Holland, seeking to provo conclusively that all except a relatively small percentage of tho fishing fleet's catch Is sent across the border to Germany and her ally.
