the efforts the owners Of the land

He calls three times each week. and

when she called him up on the phone.
''I'll disguise my voice." she gtggled,

BRAVE SAILOR SHOT DOWN
He Protested Against the Fare in Face

was recently forced. for want OF coal
and provisions, to surrender TO the
Roumanian government, which received
the sailors as deserters and as such
net liable for extradition. Already sew
eral local authorities have provided sit
uations for many of them, and the
others are being assisted in obtaining
situations elsewhere in the country.
Here in BraiIa there are twenty-five
OF them staying in this hotel while
looking for employment.
The photograph I send you repre-
sents some of them at breakfast. They
have by no means the appearance of
violent and desperate characters, but
of simple. quiet. and well-behaved men.
The story they tell is as follows:
" Complaints from them that the
meat supplied to them was putrid and
contained maggots remaining unheeded,
they ceased to eat it. The captain
called them together and treated this
as breach Of discipline.
Some of the men he asked individual
" whether they would or would not
eat the maggoty meat. These from
fear declared that they would, until
one more bold than the rest was asked
and declared that he would not. Where
upon the captain took a rifle and shot
him dead.
The result was revolt and mutiny
of the men who overcame the officers
and took command of the ship.

police agents have succeeded in getting
fifteen OF the muttneers into their
power. The men, who were working

Two Boards Have Been Appointed te
Ascertain the Availability of
Various Vessels.

TWO boards have been appointed by
the Navy Department to pass upon the
present availability of warships in the
new navy
One board will consider the hull and
machinery. the other VIII examine the
armor and armament. II is proposed to
ascertain just how far American war
ships are obsolete and TO what extent
they can be improved by rebuilding.

Modern improvements in armor plats

the Krupp. They are superior to ths
Oregon, but still far beh.nd those now
under construction.
The two boards now performing secret
work are expected to determine just
when a warship must be rebuilt and
when she should be broken up for
scrap iron.
Rebuild Every Fifteen Years.
It is the practice of the German au-
thorities to consider it necessary to re-
build a warship in fifteen years. and In
that way add ten years to her life Of
usefulness.
The explosion on the gunboat Ben
nlngton has caused these naval boards
to make haste in performing their
duties Officials and officers are now
greatly interested in the problem as 20
