BOY NEAR DEATH
IN CANAL SAVED
BY POLICEMAN
officer Brings Apparently Life
less Boy to Surface After
Diving Three Times.

Joseph Starm, thirteen years old, OF
40 Alpine street, was saved from
death In the waters of the Morris
can9l today through the heroism of
Policeman Michael A. Philburn, of
the Fifth precinct.
Seized with q cramp while in swim
ming under the Norfolk street bridge
of the canal, the boy had gone down
twice, and had failed to come to the
surface again, when Policeman Phil
burn rescued him after diving three
times. The boy was black in the
face and apparently lifeless.
By means of artificial respiration
the boy was partly revived, and then
rushd to the City Hospital, where the
doctors quickly had him out of dam
ger
The lad was swimming with a
number of other boys under the canal
bridge at Norfolk street. Seized with
a cramp, he threw up his hands,
screamed and suddenly sank. His
companions shouts attracted Police
man Philburn, who is stationed at
Central avenue and Norfolk streets.
The boy had gone down a second
time and had not come to the surface
again when the policeman reached
the canal.
without hesitation, Philburn
jumped into the water and tried TO
get the boy. He was obliged to dive
three times for him. By the time
Philburn got the boy to the bank he
was nearly exhausted himself, but he
Immediately tried artificial respira-
ton.
Joseph Dietzel, employed by Joseph
Ettenberger, the newsdealer at Gem
trail avenue, was attracted to the
scene by the cries of the companions
of the boy. He helped Philburn in
his efforts to revive the lad. The task
seemed hopeless, but the two men
kept on and would not give up. After
about ten minutes work, Philburn
noticed signs of life in the boy and
the work of resuscitation was re-
newed with vigor.
Calls were sent for the City Hos
pital ambulance the Public Service
pulmoter and also the police automo-
bile, but Philburn and Dietzel com
Wandered an automobile belonging
to Trivett & Walters Company, whose
shop is nearby on Bond street. Bv
the time the lad was placed in the
machine he had recovered somewhat,
but was in very weak condition.
A quick trip was made to the City
Hospital and the physicians had the
boy out of all danger in few min

UNCLE SAM NOW
INSURANCE MAN
Underwriting American Marine,
Taking Hazards That
Others Won't.
BY the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-With the
establishment of a war risk insurance
bureau in the treasury department the
United States today is engaged in a
new line of business. w. G. Delaney,
an underwriting insurance expert,
has been placed in charge of the en-
terprise which will be operated under
Assistant Secretary Peters.
The plan by which the government
will insure American ships and car
goes will supplement arrangements
recently authorized by Congress for
the admission to American registry of
foreign built vessels. Executive or
ders suspending sections of the old
navigation laws under the registry
bill are to be issued Immediately That
is expected to open the way for sew
eral big shipping companies to place
their fleets under the American flag.
The war risk bureau will insure
American vessels, their passenger
and freight moneys and cargoes
whenever 1t shall appear to the sec
rotary or importers in American YES
sells are unable in any trade to secure
adequate war risk insurance on rea-
sonable terms" 1t will be supple
nentary to that furnished by private
which claim they have not
sufficient capital to give complete war
risk insurance.
The President is authorized to abol-
sh the bureau whenever he finds need

his two assistants made q census of
the train, inQuiring about what no.
tells we were going to, collecting the
checks for luggage and making all ar
engagements with great tact and eff
cheney.
"At the station in Paris Mr.. Her
rick had sent down squad of Amer
lean students who had volunteered to
meet and help us Our 1000 Amer
leans were quickly distributed and
sorted out under the signs of the diff
ferent hotels placarded about the sta
ton. There was no confusion.
I'VE arrived in Paris on, Friday, but
could not leave before Sunday, be-
cause we had to get two sets of per-
mits, one from the police giving per-
mission to pass through the streets of
Paris, and the other from the British
consul permitting us to cross the
channel The Parisians were behav-
ing like Anglo Saxons-quiet, SUBJ
dued, dignifed and tremendously
earnest The whole air was charged
with magnificent spirit
I'VE were going to Boulogne, but
got word that the service had been
discontinued, so we went to Dieppe.
We got there on Sunday, but no boat
till the next day. Although scheduled
to sail at 1880 o'clock, we were all up
early and down at the dock. At $3.50
they took aboard only 1000, the limit,
and 200 were left behind. The regular
boat train had not arrived.
1.-THE temper of the people of Paris
is such that it appeared to me that
whatever happened there would be no
panic. One Parisienne told me This
is different from 1870'
ITO me the most depressing thing is
that Christian civilization of nineteen
centuries, > which seemed always
slowly developing toward universal
peace, should suddenly end in this
terrible war / was specially dis
tressed that a great sister university
like Louvain should have been wholly
wiped out by Germans. But what
ever the outcome of the war, no mat
ter which side wins, it will mean an
entire worldwide reconstruction of
national responsibilities and inter-
national relations"
