ISLE OF SPITzBERGEN
HAS MANY CLAIMANTS
American Solves Coal Question and
Now Powers Will Meet to Decide
Which Owns Territory.
s.NoPoDY's LAND" SINCE s4z B. c.

That classic question, Now that you've
got II. what are you going to DO WITH
ft?" has applied TO the islands Of Spifx-
bergen for 500 years. An American from
Michigan has solved the question by
working a valuable coal deposit he dis
covered, with the result that w. Miller
Collier, Of Albany, N. Y, former Minister
to Spain. has been appointed by the State
Department to meet delegates OF the pow
ers at Christiane, Norway, on June 1s. to
decide Who owns the territory.
Spitzbergen first came into prominence
In 1886, when it was discovered by William
Barents Since that time 1t has worried
along without permanent human habita-
ton, its only visitors being fishermen and
whalerssand explorers.
Since its discovery Spitxbergen has been
known to have immensely valuable coal
deposits. The fact that the coal San be
mined only during six weeks of the year
prevented its use. An American visitor
to the island developed plan whereby
he could mine the coal. and claimed the
island In the name of the United States.
II was nobods's island. People had re-
fused to pay taxes on 1t since the be-
ginning of the world; but the American
in question found that the coal could
be mined. the several nations adjoining
end adjacent to the islands put up an
sEfuf howl.
Deeds and first mortgages dating from
the month OF the big wind In e1 B. C.
were submitted as proof that the sub
mitting nations owned the property.

DANIELS EXTENDS time
/ Of TAR'S Shore Leave
Instead of Returning to Ship at II
O'clock They. May Remain
Out Until l..
TWO EXTRA BOATS TO CALL

Secretary of the Navy Daniels an
nounced yesterday that hereafter Jacks 8
evening ashore will not be curtailed by
his having to catch the II p. m. boat
back or spend the night ashore. For years
II has been the navy custom. when ships
are lying in port TO send q boat ashore
to bring out the bluejackets and marines
enjoying shore leave ard hat boat start
ed for the ship on the tick Of II p. m. t
In the opinion Of the Secretary, this
II o'clock boat was one Of the chief
causes of desertion among the enlisted
men of both branches of the naval serv-
ice. Theater junkets, dances, and calls
on the best girl had to be terminated all
TO early. in the larger cities few min
utes after 10 O'Clock. Missing the boat
Jack was sure to be left ashore for the
night. In consequences he pictured to
himself an unpleasant interview with the
"Old Man when he came aboard the
next day. and probable punishment for
overstaying his leave.
Also he was put to the expense Of pay
ing for lodgings. Further. In the opinion
of the Secretary, Jack might not always
choose to incest sort Of places to spend
the wee sma' hours. and the allurement
of the saloon was stronger after mid
night than before. and the danger OF
Jacks being takep suddenly drunk and
not returning at all was greatly In
creased by this early last boat home"
Under the revised orders. ships in port
will run two later boats to bring back
the shore-leave lada One win leave the
dock at midnight, and the last at q. m.
Secretary Daniels expects the change to
WORK decided benefit in the service. and
believes that the more liberal orders will
be warmly welcomed BY the sailormen. ,

To the New Hampshire are attached
all three brothers. thanks to the per-
sistency of their mother. After many
disbursements. Mrs johnson succeeded
in getting an order from former Secretary
of the Navy George Won L. Meyer that
brought them together upon the same
ship. All three were landed at Vera Cruz
and together they faced the fire of SOL
diery and "snipers-" Their letters home
are in the most cheerful vein.

Foster johnson was the first son to
enlist and was assigned to the New
Hampshire. Rhoderick was next He
tried in vain to get on the New Hamp-
shire and was sent to the Alabama HIS
application for a transfer was ignored.
The mother then applied for him, but
never received reply. Finally. she
wrote to Secretary Meyer and he replied:
Your request is granted"
Later the third son. John NJ, jr., en-
listed and was. attached to the louisiana.
The mother had to write to the Secretary
again. and she was again successful.
Mother is-not a bit worried" said
Margaret Louise johnson. She Is con-
fident that all the boys will get back
home safe. 1t is a very curious fact
that mother had a premonition of this
trouble with Mexico. Naturally she was
very anxious for her boys. Fosters en-
