TAKE THREE WEEKS
REPAIR CRUISER
Kronprinz Wilhelm Examined By Na
val Experts—Will Get 1,600
Tons of Coal.
NEWPORT NEWS, April 15.—The
naval officers who have examined the
German converted cruiser Kronprinz
Wilhelm, now in this port, have re
ported to Secretary Daniels that it
will take three weeks to make the
necessary repairs to the boat before
she can be safely sent to sea.
The repairs will be made at once
and the commander ordered to leave
port within twenty-four hours after
his ship is repaired.
The work of coaling the converted
cruiser will be done in a few days
and the department will allow the
commander to load enough coal to
take his ship to Bremen, Germany,
which is the nearest German port.
It is estimated that 1,600 tons of
coal will be allowed the ship.
The British and French command
ers of the warships at the Virginia
capes have increased their force and
are standing off five miles from shore
watching for the German liner. The
Alabama, the flagship of the Atlantic
fleet, is patrolling within the three
mile limit to prevent any violation
of American neutrality.
BRITISH BUYING
ARGENTINE WHEAT
Spends $100,000,000 for South Ameri
can Wheat—Will Provide
Transports.
LONDON, April 15.—Agents of the
British government have purchased
$100,000,000 worth of wheat from Ar
gentine commission houses and the
wheat will be brought to England at
once, the government having arrang
ed for its transport in-large steam
ers to be chartered by the admiralty.
Some of the wheat is to be sent to
France as the two governments have
been working together to secure
enough wheat for the year.
It is expected that the price of
American wheat will take a big drop
as a result of the large purchases in
South America. The buying of the
wheat extended over a fortnight.
