All! hve and twenty years have roll
ed away,
All marked on life's great map by
smiles and tears:
But hallowed yet is that sweet we'd
ding day. =
Which through all time still bright
as yore appears.
Dear memory sings her song with
truest note,
And many pictures bring upon this
day.
Which stands like precious cameos
alone,
To shine like jewels DER the twi-
light gray.
Now love with tireless fingers striker
the Tyre.
And yet more tender have become
the strings,
For God DER faithful ones will never
tire,
And with His blessings sweet life
always rings.
Then lot the silver threads wind fal
and wide,
To mingle with the golden wool
For love will stand to guide the eb
bling tide,
And angels mark. with joy each
turning page.

SAILOR BATTLES WITH
 WAVES FIVE HOURS
WAS ONE OF THE CREW OF THE ILLFATED STEAMER ROSE
 GRAMS WHICH SUNK.

AstoTia Ore, Jan S.-How the sea Frnea of the oil tank steamer rose crans met their death after the ves- sel crashed ashore at the mouth of the Columbia river yesterday mopn- ing was told tonight by Fred Peters, the quartermaster, who drifted ashore on d plank at Tioga. According to Peters, Captain Johnson of the Rose cIans remained to the ias1 at his post in the pilot house, directing and cheer ing his crew, although he was suffer ing from d broken leg.
 There were eight men on duty at the time of the disaster and 2S men were in their bertns. The night was a wild one, but it was decided by the officer in command that it would not be too hazardous to attempt the en- trance to the Columbia. Ill the storm and rain, the man at the wheel, ac- eording to Peters mistook the north headlight for the lightship which is anchored off the Columbia and steered the vessel upon the rocks.
 The backbone of the Rosecans was pioheH anu tHelt was HOlHlnS lO uO but wait, Peters said. Efforts to launch the life boats were futile. The wind and waves broke them from their flashing before any or the crew could man them. The men waited calmly for the death that appeared inevit- able. Capt. Johnson remained at his post directing the crew, although hls leg had been broken by falling spar
 Peters had just talked with Capt. Johnson when big wave washed over the ship, carrying him over board He grasped a floating plank and rode it for five hours before he finally drift ed ashore.

AUSTRIA VERY TANTALlzING
Despite Concessions By Servia She Makes No Move to Demoblize-- Taking Advantage of Desire to
 Prevent European War.

London, Jan. S.-The capitalization of Adrianople will, in the opinion of
 the Balkan plenipotentiaries take place within a few days, either direct
 ly to the besieging forces or through
 European pressure. Pendng some fresh development the Balkan dele
 gates are keeping in closest touch
 with the ambassadors because they are aware that some of the questions they have most at heart depend al- most entirely on the will of the pow CTS.
 Meanwhile the ambassadorial con
 ference is doing little, hoping that the
 Adrianople difficulty will solve itself
 in some maaneT and thus make inte- ference by the powers unnecessary. Moreover, the action of the ambassa- ] dors is hampered by the previous
 agreement that they must be unani-
 nous in any decision requiring active
 interference.
 Should the fall of AdTanople still
 be delayed, now that the conference
 is suspended, 1t might become imper-
 atiye for Europe to intervene; other
 wise, Europe would lose the prestige emitting her to dictate her will II
 smaller matters, such as creating an autonomous Albania and partitioning
 the Aegean islands.
 One suggestion is that, failing q better solution, Adrianople might be ceded to the powers, who could trans fer it to the allies after permitulng the Turkish garrison to depart with
 the. hclors of war and gnaranteeing other conditions such IS the preserva- ton to the Turks of religious a
 property rights and the creation of cerain courts for the trial of civil
 suits arising between Mpssulmen,
 Some of those among the advanced section of the allied delegates are of
 the opinion that now that they nave paved the way for the expulsion of Turkey from Europe, the powers eught
 to complete the work by removing Islam from Constsntinople and trans
 forming the Turkish capital into an autonomous city under European con
 trol and that they should study some system with the <object of giving a real civilized government to Asia minor If such steps are not taken. they declare that ere long there will be repetition in Asiam.nor of wlat has just occurred in the Balkans. One of the gravest aspects of the
 situation, as unbiased observers view | it, is the failure of Austria to give any sign of demobilization in spite of Seryias' sacrifices for a special soltl-
 tion. Seryia even going so far as to eyacuate the Adriatic coast. Austria $ action, in the opinion of some is ex-
 plained by the fact that Emperor Francis Joseph, owing to ais advaced
 age, has practically abdicated the di- rection of affairs to the crown prince.
 The prince is entirely in the hands
 of the most reactionary elements who are strongly opposed to the resurrec- tion of the Servian and SlaV races,
 and wishing to take advantage of Flu ropes desire to avoid a great war, are imposing unjust conditions both on | Servia and Montenegro.

THE REPAIR SHIP PANTHER IS MISSING
STARTED LAST THURSDAY FOR CUBA AND HAS NOT BEEN
 HEARD FROM SINCE.

Washington, Jan. S.-Navy depart ment officials said tonight that no ap- Jrehension were felt for the safety of the repair ship Panther, which left New York last Thursday for Guanta- namo, Cuba, in which port sae was due tonight or tomorrow
 officials strenously denied reports that the vessels of the Atlantic fleet now enroute to the winter dr. grounds off Guantanamo had been in- structed to try to pick up the Panther by wireless. They pointed out that it is not customary for suca a vessel as the P.nther 10 report to the de partment between the time of sailing and arrival at destination. They say that owing to the heavy seas which the Panther must nave encountered It would not be strange if her progress had been impeded With the Panther was the tug Pomona.
 At the fate heuf no report from The Panther had been received here. Rear Admiral Philip Andrew, chelf of the bureau of navigation of the navy department deelareu mat nc mad absolutely no reports from the vessel Neither had the bureau of op- erations nor the wireless station at the Washington navy yard news oi the vessel It is possible It was de' clared tonight that the vessel may have bs1 blown off her course, neces- sitating a longer time in reachinG Guantanamo.

 The triple entente-Great Britain France and Russia-are inclined to back the desire of the allies for the cession of le islands to Greece, but the triple alliance--Germany, Austria and Italy--favor leaving to Turkey those islands near the Turkish coast particularly those close to the Darda nelles.

 Mir Murray replied that he could say nothing on that point. and then he and Mir Untermyer became in volyed in a lengthy discussion of the domination of national banks by large depositors, large stockholders and men who can supply bpsiness to the banks.
