VESSELS IN DISTRESS
GET AID Of CUTTERS
Ships Of Revenue Service Add Sew
eral Reseues to Their Long
Credit.

Assistance reports received at the head
quarters OF the revenue cutter service
Treasury Department, from the COM
mandfng Officers of the cutters. tell OF
good work the vessels of the service did
IN seven instances. With one exception
the work has been done by the little cut
ters. and most of the aid extended has
been to pleasure boats. though the cutter
Manhattan. at New York. was called
upon to help two steamboats, and a tug
boat out Of trouble In the early part OF
last week.
It was reported to the commanding
ofi1cer of the Manhattan that the steamer
out of New York. was ashore in one OF
the channels leading to the city. The
Manhattan hastened to the stranded YES
sci and found the tug Harry R. Wheeler
and the steamer Isabel alongside the
stranded boat. The Manhattan assisted
in efforts to work the Rosedale into deep
water. but without success. and the mas
ter of the steamer decided to give up the
effort until wrecking tugs with proper
appliances could be sent for.
Rescue Vessels Ashore.
While the tug Wheeler and the steamer
Isabel were working on the Rosedale
they both got ashore and were unable to
get off by their own power, but with the
aid Of the cutter they were soon fioated.
But for the aid of the Manhattan both
the tug and steamer would have been
damaged and would have had hulls
strained on the coming of low tide.
Attending to her anchorage duties in
New York harbor, the cutter Hudson
found the motorboat Squaw II anchored
in the channel in the path of the big
ships going in and out Of the harbor.
The launch had broken down and to keep
her from drifting in the way Of vessels
those aboard had anchored her. The
Hudson towed the disabled craft to the
Battery, where repairs could be made.
cutter Tybee found work to do in assist
ing the motorboat Joanna, which had
gone ashore several miles from the city
with party of pleasure seekers aboard,
who were forced to remain aboard the
launch overnight. The commanding Off
Ger of the Tybee was notified the launch
was missing with a number OF persons
aboard, and the cutter started on
search for them. The vessel was located
and after some little trouble was fioated
and towed back to Savannah.
On Woods Hole Rocks.
Launches from the cutter Acushnet,
stationed at Woods Hole. Mass. went to
the aid of the motor sloop Alys and the
sender boat Otter, ashore on the rocks of
Middle ledge, Woods Hole entrance.
The Otter was quickly floated, but some
little difficulty was had IN getting the
Alys of the rocks. The vessels were
taken into Woods Hole for harbor.
A burning launch was seen from the
grounds Of the revenue cutter academy.

stacles to diplomatic negotiations can all
be traced to miitarism. In spite Of the
general tendency favoring universal peace.
it is a strange phenomenon. indeed, that
we can never neglect our military prep

clared that the preparedness of the navy
and army is a guarantee for peace. The
peace, however, thus gained Is not peace
in the true sense of the word. This is the
pretext always employed by those who.
while not really trying to be peaceful ma

another to assume such an attitude. 1t

that the resultant evils of the military

WILL PUSH DREDGING
| IN VIRGINIA CHANNEL
The Dewey Expected to Start Work
This Week on 6,OOO-
Foot Contract.

Preparations for starting dredging work
in the Virginia channel OF the Potomac,
from the Highway bridge to Georgetown
are being pushed aboard the dredge
Dewey. and it is expected that digging
will start some time this week. Under
the terms of the contract the dredge is
required to dig and pump ashore not less
than $1,000 cubic yards of material in
the first month. and each month there
after $1,000 cubic yards must be removed
until the entire $4,000 cubic yards have
been dug and the contract completed, The
portion Of the channel to be dredgeo
is about 5000 feet long and 400 fee
wide to a depth of twenty-one feet at low
water. The material to be removed ha:
been deposited by freshets from the up
per river in the past five years. when thu
last dredging work was done.
Along the entire length of the channe
there has been some shoaling. but fol
several hundred feet, about abreast thu
est. and 1t Is stated that 1t is Impossible
to bring a barge drawing seventeen fee
out from Georgetown, except on the full
tide.
Will Reclaim Much Ground.
The dredged material will be pumped
to the lowlands on the Virginia shore. il
front of the Department of Agrgiculturt
experimental farm. This, it is stated. will
reclaim a considerable area of ground
that is now covered with water on q
high tide. The contract allows no work
to be done on Sundays or on legal holi-
days. but three shifts of men may be en-
ployed If the contractors elect to worh

Attitude of Government,

Both the Attorney General and Presi-
dent Wilson have taken the position
that the Massachusetts condition is not
unfair and does not violate the disso-
luton agreement between the depart
ment and the railroad
1t was pointed out that the New
Haven committee might ask for a de-
lay until next winter. so that the Mas
sachusetts legislature might have an
opportunity to remove the condition.
Although Mr.. McReynolds has stayed
his antitrust suit for many months
and spent weeks in conference. it was
understood he will not consent to such
delay.
Failure of the committee to present
some plan acceptable to the depart
ment probably will be followed almost

following appeal:
For I was an hungered and We gave
Me meat"
Never before in civilized history has a
whole nation faced famine. Extraordinary
measures are not alone necessary. they
are imperative. If in Belgium a popula-
ton of over six millions is to be kept
alive, food must be sent and at once. -

peal to all the women of America TO

highest aspiration and the finest achieve
ments of the race are symbolzed in this

saved to the human family. We ask
American women to recall and to deserve
anew the immortal tribute they won from
our great Lincoln, and to here highly re-
solve that this people under God shall not
perish from the earth.
We sent forth to a few accessible or
ations-international, national and

Coz, 600 organized women. To those not yet

People who saw the run of thte team

Howard being helpless in the cart,

the teams that he met but neverthe-

a gallon jug of whiskey but of sub
sequent drinks he had no memory nor
of what had become of the rest of the
whiskey. Taking into consideration
what the respondent had already gone
through the court was lenient and ad-
ministered 1ne of 81 and costs.
