AIR LETTER TO ROTARY CLUB
Ruth Law, holder of the new record for aeroplane flying between New York and Chicago, delivered to the Rotary Club yesterday one of the letters intrusted to her. It came from James G. Brownlow, President of the Rotary Club of Binghamton, where Miss Law descended before making the final dash to New York. It was addressed to William J. Bemish, President of the Rotary Club in this city, and said:
“Binghamton Rotary Club sends greetings to the New York Rotary Club by Miss Ruth Law. The little lady was forced to alight and chose Binghamton. We always try to attach the New York and Binghamton Rotary Clubs to any important world service and through the courtesy of Miss Law we find an opportunity.”
The letter probably will be framed and hung in the club at the Imperial Hotel.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Belgians Implore Our Aid

BELGIANS IMPLORE OUR AID.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Henri Carton de Wiart, Belgian Minister of Justice, has sent from Havre the following cablegram to Miss Mary Patten of this city regarding the deportation of Belgians to Germany:
“News from Belgium describes situation horrible. Over 40,000 men already deported for military work amid awful scenes; number proposed 300,000. Stop it, please. Get influential friends. Start strong campaign of opinion, which might possibly prevent extensive slave trade. Implore your help in the name of humanity and honor of mankind.”
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Aldermen Scan Pay Rises

ALDERMEN SCAN PAY RISES.
The Aldermen decided yesterday thoroughly to scan the provisions of the 1917 budget allowing salary increases to city employes receiving salaries of $4,000 or more. According to next year’s budget more than 18,000 city employes are to receive increases, totaling $1,147,180.80. This alone would raise the tax rate for the year one and one-half points. The Aldermanic Board has the power to cut down in the budget, but they may be restored by the Mayor. It takes a two-thirds vote of the Aldermen to override the Mayor’s veto.
Alderman McGarry of Greenpoint introduced yesterday a resolution to the effect that no city employe now receiving $4,000 or more a year should get an increase. He said many of the other Aldermen opposed increasing salaries of men now enjoying good incomes from the city. He said:
“When city employes who are being paid small salaries of $1,000 or less have either not been raised or so slightly increased as to be hardly noticed by their families, it is unfair to boost the pay of men getting $4,000 or more.”
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Finance.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/All on Sibiria Saved from Goodwin Sands

ALL ON SIBIRIA SAVED FROM GOODWIN SANDS
DOVER, England, Nov. 21.—The passengers and crew—fifty-three in all—of the American steamer Sibiria, standed on the Goodwin Sands, were landed at Deal today by the Kingsdown lifeboat.
They had a distressing experience during the twenty-four hours they were on the steamer awaiting assistance, in momentary peril of the vessel being engulfed in the treacherous quicksands.
Fruitless efforts were made yesterday by lifeboats from neighboring stations to rescue the passengers. Several men of the lifeboat crews were injured and the boats narrowly escaped destruction.
The Sibiria is still aground.
A violent southeasterly gale drove the ship on the sands, near the spot where the Italian steamship Val Salice, whose crew was rescued yesterday, grounded. Attempts were made all day yesterday by the Deal and Ramsgate lifeboats to rescue those on the Sibiria who were huddled together on the bridge. Two lifeboats were driven back badly damaged.
Last evening volunteers were called for to man the South Downs boat, the only one remaining intact. A British patrol boat towed the lifeboat as near as possible to the Sibiria. The searchlights of the patrol boat were fixed on the stranded ship, showing that all but the bridge had disappeared. While trying to get alongside the steamship the lifeboat was thrown on its side by the heavy sea and filled with water, but righted itself. The fight continued until the rescue was effected.
The lifeboat was again taken in tow by the patrol boat, which brought her to the Downs.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Archangel Explosion Killed 341; Hurt 667

ARCHANGEL EXPLOSION KILLED 341; HURT 667
PETROGRAD, Nov. 21, (via London.)—It is announced officially that 341 persons have been killed and 667 wounded by an explosion at Bakaritza. The statement follows:
“According to supplementary information, the number of persons killed by the explosion at Bakaritza was found, after clearing the debris of masonry, to be 341, while the number of persons injured, according to reports received from hospitals, amounts to 49 officers and officials, 437 soldiers, 131 civilians, and 25 women. Of the crews of British merchant ships, 27 were killed and 25 injured.
“The large number of victims is explained by the fact that the explosion occurred during the dinner hour, when the men were resting in huts wrecked by the explosion.”
LONDON, Nov. 21.—A Reuter's dispatch from Petrograd says it is authoritatively announced that only two vessels were destroyed in the recent explosion in the harbor of Bakaritza, near Archangel. These were the British steamer Baron Driesen and the British coal steamer Earl of Forfar, moored beside the Baron Driesen. Russian authorities make a categorical denial of the German report that seven munition-laden ships were destroyed, and the Russian Admiralty declares that the German report, attributing the first explosion on board the Baron Driesen to a submarine, is absurd, adding that German submarines cannot possibly penetrate to Bakaritza harbor.
BERLIN, Nov. 21, (by Wireless to Sayville.)—Reports received from Swedish sources say that at least twenty steamers caught fire in the recent series of explosions near Archangel and were forced to stay in the harbor until it was ice-bound, says the Overseas News Agency. According to these reports it is estimated that ammunition valued at 80,000,000 rubles, ($40,000,000;) 20,000 bales of cotton belonging to the Moscow Association of Cotton Mills, and 15,000,000 rubles, ($7,500,000,) worth of rubber were burned. A new automobile train, for Petrograd and Moscow, is reported to have been partly destroyed.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Assails Civil Service Men

ASSAILS CIVIL SERVICE MEN.
League Committee’s Report Criticizes Board and Mr. Wilson.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—The Committee on Congressional and Legislative Action of the National Civil Service Reform League is preparing a report to be presented to the League at its annual meeting in New Haven on Dec. 4, in which the Wilson Administration and the members of the United States Civil Service Commission are criticised, and President Wilson is asked to dismiss the three Commissioners, who are declared to be the most inefficient in the commission's history.
The league has been in controversy with the commission before this, and its allegations against the Wilson Administration were utilized as campaign ammunition by Mr. Hughes in the recent Presidential contest. The report will renew charges that the commission maintains a policy of secrecy with regard to its actions, and that President Wilson has been a party to this course in refusing to see officers of the league.
The members of the commission are John A. McIlhenny, President; Charles M. Galloway, and Herman W. Craven.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Bart Dunn Loses Suit

BART DUNN LOSES SUIT.
NYACK, N. Y., Nov. 21.—Supreme Court Justice Tompkins, in a decision handed down today, directed Bart Dunn, the former Tammany leader in the Seventeenth Assembly District, to pay $1,035.35 to Rockland County or his $5,000 bail bond would be forfeited.
Dunn was convicted of defrauding Rockland County on highway work. His appeal was denied in January, 1915, and he escaped to New Jersey, where he was concealed in a sanitarium in Butler, N. J. He left the sanitarium and went to the home of Mrs. Olivia Lakeland, in Summit. After Dunn had served eight months at Blackwell’s Island he married Mrs. Lakeland.
The money Dunn must return to Rockland County was spent by District Attorney Gagan for private detectives.

Published 1860, in Poets and Poetry of Vermont by Abby Maria Hemenway
BENEDICTE ! child of sin, I have come thy heart to win From the gay and careless world, That thy thoughts may all be furled 'Round the banner-staff of Heaven, And thy soul to God be given. Yonder, 'neath our convent's dome, Waits for thee a peaceful home ; There are relics, saints and shrines, Sacred lore and mystic lines; There the holy sister-band Wait to take thee by the hand. Leave thy childish, aimless life, Nerve thee for the spirit's strife; Leave thy vain and thoughtless friends, Seek the path that heavenward tends.
O, no ! holy father, I still must be, As I ever have been, unchecked and free; For I love, with a love that never will fade, All the wonderful things that God has made: The broad old fields where the wild flowers The deep ravines where the young brooks flow; The stern old rocks and the solemn trees, And the playful, wandering and whispering breeze: And the birds and the stars, and the tempests wild: I love them all, for I'm Nature's child; And the friends that I love are ever true, And I cannot leave them to go with you, In the joyousness of my budding bloom, To immure myself in a living tomb. There is one, with a dark and thoughtful eye, Who is to all others a mystery; But his soul is to me an open book, And I read his mood in his slightest look; And shutting me up in your convent gray Would be taking the light of his life away, And I never should kneel in my cloister dim, But my thoughts would be far away with him ; Nor the vesper-bell ever strike my ear, But his low, deep voice I should list to hear, Saying, 'Lora, come now to our altar-tree,— Lora, dear Lora, come worship with me.' I know I'm a wicked and wayward child, But there are a thousand voices mild, In the streamlet and flowers, in the forest and air, That go up each moment in praise and prayer, And the children who love them remembered are; And each brings an answer of peace from Heaven, And each one whispers, 'Thou art forgiven.' O, no! holy father, I still must be, As I ever have been, unchecked and free!"

# The New Student's Reference Work/Red-Cross Societies

See also International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Red-Cross Societies, a federation of relief societies in the different countries acting under the Geneva convention. The original aim of the societies was to ameliorate the condition of the sick and wounded in time of war. They had their origin in an agitation begun by Jean Dunant, a philanthropic citizen of Geneva, who in 1862 published an account of the suffering he had seen on the battle-field of Solferino, June 24th, 1859. He attributed much of the suffering to the lack of provision for the proper care of the sick and wounded and suggested that societies be formed in the different countries to collect supplies and train nurses etc. in times of peace to co-operate with and assist the regular surgical corps in time of war. The Society of Public Utility in Geneva took up the suggestion. In the following year an international conference was held in Geneva, at which sixteen nations were represented. A provisional program was agreed upon and in August, 1864, a more formal, diplomatic congress of representatives from the same nations was held, at which was signed what is now known as the Geneva convention. A red cross upon a white field was adopted by the congress as the exclusive badge of all societies formed in accordance with the principles of the convention. The first international conference of Red Cross societies was held in Paris in 1867. Red Cross societies were first formed in the United States in 1881, and the Geneva Convention was first ratified by the United States government in 1882. Miss Clara Barton, President of the Red Cross societies in the United States, suggested that they be prepared to render relief to the suffering in times of great calamities, as fires, floods, famine, pestilence etc. as well as in times of war, and her suggestion received the unanimous sanction of the National and International Committees. The Hague peace-conference in 1899 ratified the proposal of 1867 that the provisions of the societies be extended to naval warfare. While international conferences of the Red Cross societies have been held and the Society at Geneva serves as a Central Committee by which an international bulletin is published and through which all international communications are made, the societies are not really international. They are national and independent, each governing itself and making its own laws according to the genius of its nationality and needs. All societies throughout the world have a common badge and a common aim, and sustain mutual relations to the convention. The American society has furnished relief amounting to several millions of dollars besides inestimable personal service. The society, in its own vaults, always accessible, night and day, keeps funds sufficient for any sudden emergency.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Renan, J. Ernest

See also Ernest Renan on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Renan (re-nän′), J. Ernest, one of the most eminent authors of the 19th century, ERNEST RENAN was born at Tréguier, France, Feb. 27, 1823. In his sixteenth year he was taken by Abbé Dupanloup to his seminary at Paris to be educated for the priesthood. After three years at this seminary, he entered St. Sulpice, the great seminary of the diocese of Paris. At St. Sulpice his attention was mainly turned to the study of Hebrew, and to this study, of his own accord, he added that of German. The result of these studies was to destroy his faith in the supernatural or miraculous element in Christianity, and he therefore abandoned all idea of the priesthood and resolved to devote himself to literature. In 1860 Renan was appointed by Louis Napoleon a member of the commission to study the remains of Phœnician civilization. During this mission he visited Syria and Palestine and obtained acquaintance with the latter country, which enabled him to give such a vivid local coloring to his Life of Jesus, published two or three years after his return. In 1861 he was chosen professor of Hebrew at the College de France in Paris, but on account of his religious views was not fully established in that position until after the fall of the empire in 1870. Renan's published works are quite numerous, but the one by which he is most widely known is his Life of Jesus, which has been translated into the languages of all civilized nations. Renan died at Paris, Oct. 2, 1892.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Resins

See also Resin on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Res′ins, a class of natural vegetable products, closely allied to the essential oils and in most cases obtained from the plants which yield them mixed with oil. Resins are divided into hard, soft and gum resins. Hard resins are solid and brittle, and contain little or no oil. Such are copal, lac, mastic, jalap etc. Soft resins can be molded by the hand, and some are sticky and semi-fluid. These are called balsams. They are the solutions of hard resins in essential oils, or are admixtures of the two. Turpentine, storax and the balsams of Tolu, Peru and Canada are examples. Gum resins are the milky juices of certain plants made solid by exposure to the air. Resins are widely diffused throughout the vegetable kingdom, and are much used in medicine and in the mechanic arts. They are generally obtained by making incisions in the wood from which they are obtained, although it is sometimes necessary to use boiling alcohol to extract them from the wood. The common resin or rosin of commerce exudes from several species of pine, and is used in the preparation of ointments and plasters and for various other purposes.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Reproduction

See also Plant reproduction on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Re′produc′tion (in plants). In addition to the work of nutrition the plant must organize for reproduction. Two general types of reproduction are recognized. The first is vegetative multiplication, in which no such specialized bodies as spores are formed, but the ordinary vegetative body is used for this purpose. Among the lowest plants vegetative multiplication takes place by means of ordinary cell-division, and is the only method of reproduction used. In the more complex plants various outgrowths or portions of the body, as gemmæ, bulbs, buds, tubers, various modifications of branches etc., furnish means of propagation. The second kind of reproduction is by means of spores. Spores are specially organized to reproduce, and are not at all concerned in the nutritive work of the plant. There are two general types of spores, which differ from one another, not in their power, but in the method of their origin. The asexual spore is ordinarily produced by cell-division; the sexual spore is produced by the union of two sexual cells known as gametes. The general name of the sexually formed spore among plants is oöspore or, frequently, fertilized egg. The process by which spores form new plants is known as germination. See Spores.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Reptiles

See also Reptile on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Reptiles (rĕp′tĭlz), a class of vertebrates, embracing four natural orders of living forms: I. Chelonia, the tortoises and turtles; II. Lacertilia, the lizards; III. Ophidia, the snakes and serpents; IV. Crocodilia, the crocodiles, alligators etc. The hatteria of New Zealand is related to the lizards, but stands in a group by itself. In the evolution of life the reptiles were the forms that first became independent of the water and began to live entirely on land. Reptiles and birds, although so different in form and habits, are united by many peculiarities of structure. Huxley proposed a common name (Sauropsida) uniting the two classes. In addition to the living forms there are many extinct forms which extend the classification and best show the resemblances between birds and reptiles. The plesiosaurs were enormous water-animals with extremely long necks. Fossils are found indicating their length to have been about 40 feet. The ichthyosaurs were long water-animals attaining 30 or 40 feet in length. The dinosaurs show many bird-like peculiarities. They lacked the power of flight and lived both on land and in the water. Some forms reached a length of 60 feet. The pterodactyls were flying reptiles with membranous, wings, which in some cases had an expanse of 25 feet.

See also Guido Reni on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Reni, Guido (gwē′dō rä′nē), a celebrated painter, was born near Bologna, Italy, Nov. 4, 1575. He studied under Calvaert, and at 20 entered the school of the Caracci. His first works, among them being the Coronation of the Virgin, are harsh and high in coloring. About 1596 he removed to Rome, painting there the Aurora and the Hours, his best work, now at the Rospigliosi palace. On account of a quarrel with Cardinal Spinola he left Rome and returned to Bologna, where he died on Aug. 18, 1642. His works are to be found in all the chief European galleries.
