NORWEGIAN BARK IN
STORM NEAR BAR;
RAN TO DEEP WATER
THE ALEXANDER LAWRENCE,
WHICH EVENTUALLY CAME
INTO PORT WITHOUT A PILOT,
HAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE.

One vessel, now in Pensacola bay,
went through the hardest weather the
skipper, a longtime sea-faring man,
ever experienced in the gulf of Mex
leo, according to his own statement
upon arrival here yesterday. The yes
sci which had this experience was the
Norwegian bark Alexander Lawrence,
in command of Captain Petersen,
who was here three years ago, and at
that time loaded cargo for South
America.
Captain Petersen reported upon
arrival that his vessel arrived off the
sea buoy early Wednesday, and that
he looked for the pilot boat but the
sea was running too high for any
craft to have yentured into it unless
said craft was a staunch one. He
was passed by a fishing schooner, he
said, and sent message to the city,
requesting a tug to come out after
his vessel. After maneuvering for
some time near the entrance of the
harbor, he concluded neither pilot nor
tug were coming, so he ran out into
deep water when he was informed
that hurricane was likely. Running
leisurely under main and foresail, he
reported, his vessel finally brought up
near islands which he took to be the
| Chandelier islands, off the coast of
Mississippi. About that time the
wind changed and he headed back to
Pensacola light, arriving early off the
bar. No tug yet in sight, he decided
to sail his vessel into port, and he
did so, no pilot from the local asso-
citation having been able to get
aboard, although it was asserted the
bark followed the acting pilot boat
inside. Once the Alexander Lawrence
was sighted, the tug. E. E. Simpson
went down the bay and towed her
UP to an anchorage, off the city
where, after some considerable
trouble and a great deal of risk, both
the port physician and the custom
house officer, managed to get aboard.
The doctor made the ships side in
the quarantine launch Osprey, while
the custom house officer boarded from
the cutter Penrose. The bark will
go today to quarantine for fumiga-
ton.
Captain Pedetsen, to friends upon
arrival, reported that the weather
through which his vessel passed We'd
nesday all day and through the night
was the heaviest weather he had ever
witnessed in the Gulf of Mexico, and
he has in the past made many trips
to this part of the world. He reported
the loss of foresail in the weather
and it was quite impossible to spread
full canvass in such weather, as ii

there was an excess over imports of
only &6o, 400 900, and in July of last
year imports gained on exports, the
value of imports for that month
being $500, 900 in excess Of the ex-
ports.
The conditions wrought by war
have wonderfully changed the situa-
ton.
During the first seven months of
1915 there was decrease in imports
ever the corresponding period last
year Of s18i, ooo, 900, and a gain in
exports, as stated, of $77o,000,00O
As against a difference in balance of
trade in our favor of only $50 400 900
for the first seven months of last
year, the balance ID trade in our
favor for the first seven months OF
this year is 1851 100000.
If the present accedating rate OF
increase continues, the balance OF
trade in favor Of the United States
by the end of the year will be $780,
100000 or more.
Our exports for July last were
s26s, 100000. or at the rate of con-
siderably more than $3o0,00o,Ooo a
year, while our exports for July, 1914
were S154,000, 900.
The importance of the foreign
market to the grain producers of the
country is indicated in the fact that
during the first six months of this
year we shipped abroad of foodstuffi
and food animals total of S626, 000,-
600, or $780,. 100000 in excess of the
shipments for the same time las
lear. OF crude materials for use il
manufacturing there was gain Of
s23, 900, 600; Of manufactures for fur
Their use in manufacturing an in
crease of s21, 100000. and of manu-
| features ready for consumption
| $3.50 600, 0o0-the great gain, a
stated, being in foodstuffs, wher
the increase was 1894, 100000.

The growth of worldwide democ-
racy, which has been repeatedly fore
told, will affect China peculiarly, the
seers declare, and reversion to a
monarchial form of government is in
dictated, but this will be in reality q
progressive step.
The rise of heroic figure in Mex
leo is predicted. This man will bring
about peace within two years, it is
declared, but he will not necessarily
attain to the presidency. Obregor

Though he knew now that st.
Leger could not come. though he knew
nothing. and painfully conjectured a
thousand things. of Sir William
Howe's promised movement below
upon the river, Burgoyne pushed for
(September 10, IT'D, to face the
Americans under General Gates upon the
western bank.
It was as safe 10 go forward as to
turn back.
Gates. secure within his intrench-
nients, would not strike; ana he, his
supplies instantly threatened behind
him, could not wait.
On the 18th of September he threw
1000 men forward through the forest

But Arnold was too quick for him.

General Howe had moved south instead
OF north. He fancied that e would
bring. him no small moral advantage
to take Philadelphia. the capital" o.
the insurgent confederacy; and he
calculated that it ought to be easily
possible to do so before Burgoyns
would need him in the north. Early
in June, accordingly. he attempted to
cross the Jerseys; but Washington,
striking from Morristown, threatened
bis flank In q way which made him
hesitate and draw back. He returned
to Nav York, and put eighteen thousand
men aboard his transports, to get at
philadelphia by water from the south.
1t was the 25th of August, and Bur-
goyne was needing him sorely in the
northern forests, before he had got
ready for his land movement He had
gone all the long way round about
into Chesapeake Bay, and had made
his landing at the Head of Elk. in
Maryland.
Washington met him behiu:. tne
fords OF the Brandywins (Se=.~etL4r

could only delay him. Defeat no
longer meant dismay for the Amer .
/ leans; Washington acted in force as
steadily and effectively after defeat
as after victory.
II was the 27th Of September be-

He was hardly settled there before
Washington attacked him again at
his outpost at Germantown, in the
thick of mist of the morning of the
4th of October, and would have taken
the place had not the mist confused
and misled his own troops
Meantime Burgoyne was trapped At
Saratoga.
On October Sd Sir Henry Clinton had
begun at last the movement from
New York for Burgoyne's relief which
ought to have been begun in mfdsum-
i mer--carrying northward = strong
feet upon the river and an army OF
three thousand men. But IL was too late.
Burgoyne's surrender was already
inevitable. The net result of the
campaign was the loss of the north

In Midst of Life
We Are in Death.


an the midst of life, we are in
death" may have been foreibly
brought back to newspaper readers
in the comparatively recent past
from the events which have been
chronicled in the public prints. Man
has a single life to live, but there
are possibly million ways that the
slender thread may be snapped, and
in the twinkling of an eye his soul
may be ushered into the great un-

The above remarks are suggested
frcn' eclae Of the recent appalling
severt- which we have read with
feelings akin to horror.
Take the case Of the excursion

With happy holiday crowds, with

But hosv cruelty did the heath angel,
in The nioet nnlooked-for way, step
II and taho hundreds of lives. And,
IN Ire retrospective, we are caught
tl'irxiag turning it over in our
nind-what was more secure than
an excursion boat, tied up at the
wharf. which had carried thousands
before, and which was all ready in
holiday attire, to carry another
crowd.

from the subterranean recesses OF
the street, enc expulsion after the
other occurred, and crowded car
with a clear road ahead, drops dowr
into the caved-in street, and man,
arc dead in the twinkling of an eye
Others are more or less hurt, ant
some died later. This also suggests
how very many ways there are ii
have that slender life thread severed
and how very much of a gamble
even, life itself is. What could hur

But the most forceful reminder o
all was that very peculiar acciden
over in Oklahoma. Did you eve.
stroll through railroad yards an,
view the motionless cars of all de

tracks. Nothing harmful about them
In fact, unless from collision or fire

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
 ToseET s2sooo, 900 IN U. s.
To Issue One Year Notes-To Be Used
 for Purchase of War Materials.

New York. Oct. 17.-Announcement was made tonight that the Italian gov ernment has arranged to place an issue of s25.o0o.o00 one year notes in the United States. This will be the first direct loan negotiated here by Italy since the beginning of the war. and it will be used in payment for the heavy purchases of war and general supplies now being made by that gov ernment in this country. Heretofore these have been largely paid for through London sssal1 s .fas ssss sis lkG :. Lee. Higginson & company Of New York and Boston have been appointed to place the loan. The notes will have convertible bond privileges and, all though not definitely announced. 1t Is thought they will bear about 6 per cent. interest. The notes will be of fered in denominations of s1o0, $500 and $1,o00. and the principal and in- terest will be payable in United States gold.
 The bankers nre understood to be forming a syndicate to distribute the l issue, which soon will be offered pub- licly. In addition to paying for SUD- plies. the Italian government hopes the issue will tend to stabilize exchange.
