The czar of Russia is promising all
sorts of reforms. He is in a tight
place. With relentless foe thunder
ing at his armies he finds that the
hearts Of the people are against him;
that. men have to be driven to war as
cattle; that his nobility is conspiring
against him and the common people
aie remembering the wrongs of the
past instead of the crisis of the pres
ent. The ruler of all the Russians is
beginning to realize that his kingdom
should be established in the hearts of
the people instead of being maintained
by crime and oppression. But re-
forms that are made under duress, in
an extremity like the present one, are
looked upon with suspicion by those
whom they most benefit. 1t is the old
story of the Devil being a saint when
sick, but the devil of a saint when he
got well After the japanese have
finished with Russia, it is feared that
some of the reforms will be forgotten
and the road to Siberia will again be
filled with convicts being sent to the
living death.

SRlPWRECKED MEN
CLING TO RIGGING
CONTINUED From rage oneo


and apparently safe, although heavy
seas were breaking over the deck. A
few of the men were in the rigging
where distress signals we're flying.
The fog fell thick again in a mo-
ment and hid the Drumelzier complete
ly from sight. but at S:2O it cleared
again sufficiently to show signals tel
ling OF the fearful danger from the
boilers that had broken loose and
were crashing around inside the vessel
The captain signalled that the boilers
were swinging from one side to an
wreck his ship.
At noon the wind and sea were ris-
ing and the Drumelzier was pounding
furiously on the bar.
At that time she did not seem to be
held fast in the sand. but was rocking
UP and down with the rising and fall
ing of the mountainlike pillows.
In the early afternoon heavy waves
were breaking over the deck of the
ship every few seconds, and it seemed
impossible that she could last long
The life savers said that the men
aboard were doomed to certain death
unless there should come a sudden
change in the weather. They said that
if the waves grew much higher all of
the crew would be swept overheard
and washed as wreckage on the Fire
Island shore
So dire was the plight of the men on
the Drumelzier that the life savers
several times risked their own lives
Wednesday in efforts TO reach the ship.
Early in the morning, after the first
distress signals were read, the captains
of the two life saving crews determin-
ed to send a surf-boat out if human
strength could do it. They picked 10
of the strongest men from the two
companies and attempted to launch
one of the strong surf boats.
In an instant almost the heavy met
al boat was smashed in life soft tin
The ten life-savers were knocked
down and rolled over by the huge

and had it not been for the quick work
of their comrades several of them
would have been lost in the undertow
Despite this first failure, the men
n Tue repeated attempts and did not
give up their task until another boat
had been crushed in like shell.
Since the Drumelzier went ashore
the southwest winds have beaten her
slowly westward, but she is still point
ed with her bow toward land. Any
but the most powerfully built vessel
would have gone to pieces under the
heavy pounding the Drumelzier has
undergone. 1t is absolutely impossi-
BILE to render the slightest assistance
from the sea.
Tonight the crew took to the rigging
where they are now frozen in and
must remain until the high winds
cease or they meet the fate of others
whose vessels have driven ashore on
this deadly beach.

Almost every week the police drag
women into headquarters who are
gathered up from the vilest dens of in
iquity in the city. AS a rule they are
so far gone that they are so low that
they do not care for the arrest aside
from the fact that they will have to
pay money TO escape from custody.
They jeer at the officers and bystanders,
they use language that would make
the most hardened shudder Every
element of womanly virtue and de-
cency seems 10 have been eliminated
from their natures and they are braz-
en-, defiant and apparently without
feeling. But it is said that there are
times when the ghost of their former
days haunts them. and memories Of the
past overwhelms them, and remorse
eats like canker at the heart. A few
years at the most, with health broken,
friends gone, character blasted, they
become outcasts and either die in the
lowest slums or at the infirmary, re-
membered only as outcasts.
Why is this mentioned? Only in the
hope that many young girls and wo-
men, who see only the allurements of
such life. may take warning before
