Dun s Review saws

Bun's Review says
 Record-breaking production of iron. steel, copper and other products have created a conviction that the advance toward complete restoration of indus trial and mercantile prosperity is sure and permanent The principal obsta- eles to that advance are not disputes over economic theories, but hortages in money. in labor and in transporta- tien facilities The monthly Govern ment crop report issued this week confirmed preliminary estimates of enormous crops of corn. spring wheat, oats, hay, fruit and other products. The recent weather has been extreme ly favorable, and it Is believed that present conditions are even better than those stated in the official report The outlook for a good cotton crop is also favorable. and altogether the pros poets are for a year of unprecedented agricultural wealth"

 IN LAKE SQUALL
United States Cutter Capsizes
 Near Shore at Chicago
RESCUE WORK IMPOSSIBLE
-cunner's Mate Makes Heroic Attempt te Save a Lad and, Failing. He Lets Himself
 Go Down.

Chicago.-Twslve young men. all apprentices at the United States naval training station at Lake Blun, Ill, were drowned in Lake Mich igan about o'clock Sunday after. noon, when the recreation cutter at tached to the station was swamped on sand bar close to shore. A 4O- mile gale was blowing. The cutter held twenty-five men, of whom only thirteen were saved It is believed that the bodies have been carried out into the lake by the force of the gale. Until the storm subsidies systematic search for the bodies by dragging the lake will be impossible.
 The boys were between 16 and 20 years of age and were from the Mid dle and Western States. The party left the training station shortly after ? o'clock, and, after cruising about for two hours, headed for North Chicago.
 few minutes later, while the cut ter was north of Lake Forest, a squall struck the boat The sails were low cred and an anchor was thrown out Gunner Negis, it is said, planned to let the cutter ride out the storm, but the waves soon were running so high that the boat dragged it's anchor and was driven toward the beach
 The tragedy was enacted Tn view of hundreds of residents of Lake Bluff, who were without any means of giv- ing assistance. A north gale of forty miles an hour had been blowing for several hours and a heavy sea topped with white caps was running in the lake
 The rescue of the survivors was a thrilling spectacle. When the big cutter turned turtle the boys. who had all been at the oars. chung to them and few life preservers that were lying in the bottom of the boat and foated free With the oars in their hands they were driven shoreward by the high wind and the waves.
 The cutter disappeared, but came to the surface again some distance from the spot where il went down and so far away as to be of no assistance to the struggling lads.
 Chief Gunner Negis. who had charge of the boat. held two boys up with a pair of oars and tried to reach the cutter. but was compelled to give up the attempt He lost one boy be- fore he reached the shore. The other was saved.
 The desperate struggle to reach port occupied four hours and fifteen min utes. Men, women and children crowd ed the end of the Lake Bluff pier shouting words of encouragement to the helpless young seamen. During all this long period the doomed cutter was close in shore, but all human ef- fort to get her was unavailing.
 At the training station it was i'm possible 10 prepare a list of the boys who had set sail No list had been taken at the time the recruits started, and the only way to prepare one was by means of roll call.
