from drifting towards the surf-covered
rocks, and finally that, too. parted.
So serious did her plight become
that a tug, a steamer with Lyle gun
operated by detachment of blue
jackets from a warship and the life
boat crew at Chebucto Head were Or
dered to the rescue. After being driv
en- towards the rocks for more than
seven hours, Notwithstanding the ut
most efforts on the part Of the Lady
Laurier, the Camino's course to de-
struction was halted by the wind veer-
ing into the southwest. The gale.
blowing as hard from this quarter as
it had been blowing from the south
east drove the Canine off shore.
Watching for a favorable opportun-
ity the crew of the Canine finally let
go her anchor and at a late hour to-
night she was reported in a safe an
chorage off the outer automatic buoy.
No further attempt will be made to
bring the steamer into port until to-
morrow morning.
Ever since the Canine heavily laden

the steamer Kanawha and the cutter
Androscoggin, which was sent to the
northern fishing grounds as a hos
pital ship have had their stoutest haw-
sers snapped and have sent new ones
aboard through mountainous waves at
great risk to life and limb. Some of
the Kanawhas crew have been treat

juries suffered by parting hawsers AMI
boarding seas and marine department
officials here heard a sigh of relief
when it was reported the Canine
could be expected to arrive late to-
day. Capt. Travers of the Lady Lau-
rier was still holding the Canine
with the steering line. but was I'M
able to do any towing. He asked that
a powerful tug be sent out at once.
The tug Scotsman was Immediately
dispatched. Three hours later the ma
rine department was startled by an
other radio from the Lady Laurier
saying that her hawser had gone and
that the Canine was being driven
rapidly towards the rocks of Chebucto
Head. Her position at that time was
given as seven miles off Bere The
marine department promptly applied -
the naval officials for help.
The Dominion Coal Co.'S. steamer
Coban was chartered. A detachment
of bluejackets was sent aboard her
with Lyle rocket gun and apparatus.
In short time she was underway. In
the meantime the life savers of Chez
bucto Head had been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness in case the
Canine should strike the rocks.
At o'clock, with the Canine wal
lowing heavily towards the breakers,
there came a change in the direction
of the gale. Gradually. the southwest
er edged the Canine away from
shore. Two hours later a radio came
saying that she was anchored and that
all danger, for the present was over.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator stone.
chairman of the Senate committee on
foreign relations. arranged to incorpor-
ate in the records of the Senate today
the long reply which he received from
Secretary Bryan defending the Washing
ton governments Interpretation of its
rights and duties as a neutral in the
present war.
The letter from the secretary of state
prepared after consultation with Presi-
dent Wilson, Counsellor Lansing and the
legal officers of the government. consi-
tuted the administrators answer to
those who have been charging in numer-
GUS letters to the state department as
we'll as in the press and public speeches.
that the American governments neutral
Disseminated against Germany and Aus
tria.
Popular Misconception"
Secretary Bryan summarized popu-
Lar misconception on this point and
explained that the superiority thus far
of the British naval power had in
reality been responsible for the in
ability of Germany and Austria to fare
as we'll as their opponents in matters
of ammunition and contraband.
1T is the business" he wrote, of a
belligerent operating on the high seas,
not the duty of a neutral. to prevent
contraband from reaching an enemy.
Those in this country who sympathiz.
with Germany and Austria Hungary
appear to assume that some obliga-
ton rests upon this government in the
performance of it's neutral duty, to pre-
vent all trade in contraband and thus
to equalize the difference due to the
relative naval strength Of the bellig-
erents.
No such obligation exists: it will
be an unneutral act an act of partial
ity on the part of this government to
adopt such a policy, if the executive
had the power to do so. If Germany
and Austria cannot import contra
band from this country, it is not be
cause of that fact the duty of the
United States to close its markets to
the allies. The markets of this coun-
try are open upon equal terms to all
the world, to every nation, belligerent
or neutral.
Answers Criticism
While the letter was devoted large
ly to answering criticisms it reveal
ed many features of the administra-
tion's policies hitherto unexplained.
The Washington government has
now announced itself as emphatically
opposed to legislation prohibiting the
export of munitions of war. Other
than the belief that the passage of
such legislation would be an unneu-
trail act if passed during the progress
Of a war, high officials here contend
that such a law even after the con-
clusion of the present conflict would
in reality foster the growth Of mill
itarism. They point out that weak ma

Be CHAMPIONSHIP
Y. N. c. 4. LEAGUE

The deciding match in the Y. M, c.
A. bowling tournament was rolled
Tuesday evening between the King
birds and the Postoffice with the re-
suit that by taking all four points
the title Of the Kingbirds is clear for
the distinction of first position and,
what goes with that honor, the big sill
yer cup which for the past few months
has ornamented the office of the Y.
M. c. A. building since the beginning
of the league games.
The Kingbirds' bowling during the
season has been superlatively consist
ent, so much so, that no games have
they lost during the season, and the
most that any of their opponents can
boast is that they have captured one
point, the kingbirds having lost only
two points during the season. Start
ing in the season winners, they ended
winners, the only bugbear in their
path at the beginning being the Bus
mess Men, and this team was pushed
aside easily and the way left clear for
straight run to the championship of
the league.
Tho personnel Of the team has been
about the same during the whole sea-
son and was: Georgaklis, Pike,
Thompson. Newbert and Ladd This
combination, while not knocking the
umbers in way to produce startling
results, have been productive Of ordi-
nary results when single strings were
totaled and at times figured about
the 500 mark. Each individual, too,
seems to have rolled consistently rath-
err than flashily and with the result
that team totals have always, for the
most of the time, been above 1900.
The summary Of this, their last
game. is fair example of the consist
ency with which the team has rolled
together. Showing no high scores,
with the exception of Ladd's 1O2. the
team total is well above 1900, enough
so that all four points were captured.
There is one more game in the
League to be played, which is merely
to finish the schedule and will have
no effect on the standing Of the
champs" The summary:

an investigation of trawl fishing in the
Atlantic. submitted to the House to-

ed States with the cooperation of
Canada, New Foundland and France
safeguard the future supply of fish by
restricting to certain definite banks
and grounds the" use of any kind of
trawl drawn by vessel except to catch
shell fish.
The commissioner proposed that the
taking of fish, except shell fish, by
means OF the otter trawl or beam
trawl or by any other apparatus
drawn over the ocean bottom by a
vessel in motion. he prohibited on all
bottoms in the Atlantic ocean outside
of territorial jurisdiction north of the
