Moissant remained in the air 56 minutes, he
could cover only a short distance.
His supply of petrol then gave out, and

pcller broken, and parts OF the framework

Maintain Missionaries There.

Boston. Aug. 22.-The problem of greatly
increased cost of living is as acute to-day
In Asia Minor, Armenia, Syria. Macedonia
India. Ceylon. China and Japan as it is in
the United States. said James l.. Barton.
secretary of the American Board of Com
niissioners for Foreign Missions. tonight
The problem has become serious one with
the board in view OF It's maintenance of
some six hundred missionaries. forty-five
hundred native preachers teachers and
assistants and more than seventy thousand
pupils in schools.
DR. Barton draws the conclusion that the
rise OF prices in the United States is not
due to local conditions alone, since all
parts of Asia. Africa and parts of the Pa

EIGHTEEN DIE IN WRECK
Little Hope of Saving the British
Cruiser Bedford.

London, Aug 22-Eighteen lives were
lost when the British armored cruiser BED
ford ran ashore on the rocks Off Queipart
Island, Corea. yesterday, according to the
report received here by the Admiralty. The
men were members of the engine room
staff.
The vessel lies In such position that
there is practically no possibility or saving
her The hull Is full of water up TO the
engine room bulkhead, the water pouring
in through gaping holes punched by the
s,,nlxsn rocks The surviving officers and
crew have been taken off The sister war
ships. the Minotaur and the Monmouth, or
the British squadron. which anchored yes
terdsy near the wreck to render any as
sistance possible, were obliged to put to sea
last night, owing to the heavy weather
The accident occurred during full speed
trials and the cruiser evidently struck
hard, since the deaths are stated officially
to have been due to the thrush of water.
The scene of the wreck is the Samarang
Rocks, a group about two miles west OF
Barlow Island. which is off the southwest
ern point of Quelpart Island. Many sunk
en- rocks are charted in this vicinity, ana
navigation in the passage between Barlow
Island and Giffard Island, its neighbor, is
not recommended
The japanese government has been re-
ouested to furnish any assistance possible.
The wreck resembles in many respects
that of the Montagu, which cost the
the British navy one of its first class bat
tIeships in 1906. The Montagu struck on
the rocks at Lundy Island. in Bristol Chan
mel in a heavy fog, on May 30, 1905, the
sharp ledges tearing great holes in her bot
tom. A period OF calm weather ensued
after the battleship grounded and salvage
operations were undertaken, but it was
found impossible to float the vessel and
she was ultimately abandoned.
