Besides, an anchor on a short chain hangs

Such is the idea of Master Mariner Tual.

No more have they glanced at the raft

their staterooms two, three or four mat

They appear to be mattresses like any
other; but each has quantity OF leather

so that they can also be used to tie the
mattresses together.
AS every stateroom has from two to
four berths. with touches which also con-

Capt. Simms has translated the floating

number Of the Army and Navy Journal
april 20. 1912 refers to 1t as "a barge

long as the width Of the ship carrying it"

compartments. This boat was installed
in place of and served as the ships

men could get it overheard in about three

More Police Needed.

Atlanta. Nov. 15.That the urgent
police force and a better admins
tered police department is declared
by reformers who hope to see sew
eral progressive changes as the re-
suit of an agitation just begun.
The first Improvement urged is the
creation of police sub stations in
different parts of the city. Although
Atlanta's area has spread over many
square miles, there is still only one
police station; only one police head
quarters to which all calls must be
sent and from which all aid is sent
out.
The second Improvement is the en-
larging of the patrol force. If the
funds are not sufficient under the
present system, it has been suggest
ed that the small army of sanitary
inspectors, plumbing inspectors, milk
inspectors and inspectors OF all
sorts. be fused with the police in
spectors; th.tt the policemen be
made inspectors, or that the inspec-
tors be made policemen.
AT present there are beats on Ma
rietta street for instance, or over
two miles, that one lonely policeman
has to cover; and in the residential
suburbs, such as Whitehall from
Humphrie street to Fort Mcpherson,
the solitary mounted policeman mas
a beat of ten miles to traverse.

ENJOYS WIFE RETURNING.
Ambassador Wilson Thinks Women
Are Unsafe in Mexico City.

In spite of the statement that Mrs.
Henry Lane Wilson, wife of the American
ambassador to Mexico. is returning to the
United States because Of the illness of
her son, who is a student at Cornell Uni
versity, intimation was received in Wash
ington yesterday the real reason for her
journey is that the ambassador does not
believe Mexico City to be a safe place for
any American woman at the present time.
Amba ssador Wilson was convinced
six weeks ago that women were not
safe in Mexico City and Mrs. Wilson
started for the coast. Owing to the
great delicacy of the situation 1t was
decided for the sake Of appearances
it would be wise for her to remain
Mrs. Wilson was therefore summoned
back to Mexico City after she had ar
rived at Vera Cruz to board ship. At
the present time the illness Of the
ambassadors son at Cornell afforded
adequate excuse. of which he was quick
to take advantage.
No little alarm is felt in Washington
over the Whereabouts of the arms shipped
by the State Department for the protec-
tion of the American citizens in Mexico
City. When asked as to the present
whereabouts of these arms Maj. Gen.
Leonard. Wood, chief of the staff. could
only reply: God knows"
