LINER is SUNK;
PASSENGERS SAVED

New York, March 24.-The Mallory
liner Denver has sunk in the At
lantic. Shortly after sending a wire
less call dozens of ships came to the
rescue and all the crew and passen-
gers were saved. A confusion of
wireless messages yelled the sea trag-
edy in mystery. Receiving a radio
gram to that effect, the Mallory line
announced that the Denver had been
in collision with the steamer Aviland
and that both had sunk. A later
report from Captain Avery of the
Denver did not mention the collis-
ion. The White Star liner Megantic
rescued the crew and passengers of
the Denver.
The owners were unable to explain
why she sank.
Captain Smith of the Aviland was
saved" the wireless said. 1t is be-
lieve1 he is captain of the Evelyn,
sunk by a mine in the North sea, who
was aboard the Denver.
The exact location of the wreck is
not known. 1t is believed to be off
Cape Race. Officials of the Ameri-
can line read the graphic story of the
race against death between the lines
Captain Jameson of the steamship St.
Louis, the wireless reports, first
caught the Denver's IS o S" at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon, while en-

Friends who subscribe now will not
only be giving many thousands of eN
ira votes, but will be giving encour-
agement at time when it is most
needed
With the end of the contest so near,
and with many prizes of such eXcep-
tional value at stake, the leaders are
under more or less of a strain. Small
things worry them. Foolish gumorS
are magnified to unreasonable proper
tions. Reports of big business being
brought in by someone else d'scour
ages them. They forget thst even
third prize is worth more than 5000,
and they forget that, even should an
other candidate do all that gossips
say may be done, yet such u candi-
date cannot carry off all the prizes in
the list. They would still win prizes
far beyond their expectations at the
time they entered the contest.
1t is hard for contestants to get all
who have promised them subscriptions
to act now, while the last bonus vote
offer of the contest is in force, for
many friends who would like to give
the greatest possible number of votes
to the candidate thev intend to vote
for are inclined to wait until the last,
thinking their subscriptions will help
more then.
Friends of contestants are not as
familiar with the contest and the bo-
nus offers as contestants are, and
therefore do not realize that during
the last two days of the contest there
will be no bonus vote offers of any
kind. Candidates know that sub
scriptions count more now than they
ever will again, and are doing theii
utmost to collect all promised sub

What the War Moves Mean.
(By j. w. T. Mason)

OFormer European manager OF the
United Press)
New York, March 24.-The appoint
ment of Lieutenant General Sir Will
liam Robertson to succeed Major Cen
eral Murray as chief of staff of the
British army has not the same sig
nificance that would attach to SINH
lar change in the German army.
The German chief of staff is the
actual commander-in-chief and is
subject to the control of the emperor.
The British and French armies, how
ever, are commanded by generalissi-
mos, to whom the chiefs of staff are
subordinate.
The removal of Major General Muir
ray, therefore, does not signify dis
satisfaction with the way in which
the army has been handled. The
change in the British army staff
merely implies an alteration in the
details of organization at the front.
Ii is not probable that Sir William
