WOMEN FRANTIC

Women with their hair streaming
down their backs ran about the shore
yelling for their little children. Men
were demanding Of policemen to
know whether their entire families
had been wiped out by the disaster.
The cooler heads went about the
work of saving as many as possible
while the big majority of the survi-
vOrs just seemed to lose their heads.
The work of rescue, however, was
wonderful. To physicians, policemen,
fremen and many people Who work
in the vicinity of the disaster too
much credit cannot be given.

FAMILIES SEPARATED


Scenes around the dock shortly
after the accident happened were ter
rible. Women and children were yell
ing franticaIly for their relatives.
Men were crying like babies. Several
families had been separated in the
mad scramble for safety when the
boat first listed. Part of the family
went down and the other part was
rescued.
Thousands of people soon lined the
docks. Among the first rescued were
women, men and children who had
hung onto the boat until a rescue tug
steamed to the scene.
All over the ground lay people who
had been rendered unconscious in
the water. AS they were rescued they
were carried to the dock and left for
doctors to work over. The work of
rescue Of those still on board the boat
and those who were in the water
hanging onto wreckage were sensa-
tiOnal
Tugs played around the scene and
as victims were picked up they were
taken to shore and into the hands Of
doctors. First aid was given to all
and many were brought out of I'M
consciousness by fast work.

every particular. to American sug-
gestIons and demands There is every
indication thet this second note fol-
lows the same line, and the situation
therefore involves a diplomatic argu-
ment OF some length.
II has not yet been decided whether
the note shall be published. From the
point Of view of preventing any further
spread of anti-Americanisrn here IL will
probably be founu inadvlsable to pub
lish this note. The first American note
through its unfortunate manner OF pub
lication, was misleading, and the sum-
mary thereof created marked dlssatis-
faction among the public.
Sir Edward Grey's preliminary reply
in early January, being a partisan and
apparently an overwhelming refutatlon
Of the American arguments, with all
its figures concerning the remarkable
Increase in American expectations TO
neutral countries, only served to con-
firm public opinion in the belief that
the original American protest was gra-
tuitous and unnecessary. The present
note Is a development Of Sir Edward
Greys preliminary statement OF the
English side, without any OF the Ameri-
can facts upon which the original pro-
test was based being published. This
detailed reply Is calculated, II pub
lished, still further to solidify such anti
American opinion as exists.

SUNDAY EXPRESSES SORROW
Meant to Visit Fanny Crosby Should
He Go to Boston.

BILLY" Sunday was just about to sign
letter to Fanny Crosby's physician, in
which he stated that he hoped to stop
at Bridgeport to call on the famous hymn
writer should he visit Boston next April,
when he received news OF her death this
morning. He expressed great sorrow over
the news, which came as a surprise. as
letter from Miss Crosby's physician this
week contained no information that would
Indicate there was danger of her death.
Many references have been made to
Mrs. Crosby and her famous hymns by
the evangelist in his sermons, and he
often held up before discouraged persons
the story of her happy and helpful life.
The letter from her physician conveyed
the hymn writer's wish that she might
meet Sunday. At her request the ply
sician advised Sunday that she had gained
much inspiration from the evangelist s
sermon on Eternity" which the doctor
had read to her. She also advised him
she was constantly praying for him and
his work.

AGED COUPLE WALK FROM
NEW YORK TO THIS CITY
Woman collapses as She Reaches Po-
lice Station.

A man and mis- wife, who walked most
of the way from New York to this city,
will be sent to Pittsburgh today. Travel
to them by train will be almost un-
believably luxurious.
They are Joseph Duff and his wife,
Catharine, so years of age. They stag
gered into the 18th and Winter streets
station late last night and the woman
collapsed. Her husband had a cabinet
making shop in New York, but through
illness he lost all mis- business
Relatives in Pittsburgh offered to give
them home, SO they started to walk.
Save for occasional rides on farm wagons
and trolley cars, they were walking most
of the time. What little sleep they had
was snatched when the sun was warmest
through the day. All night they trudged
on. A collection taken up among the
bluecoats bought them the best meal
they had had in many months.

RUSSIANS AGAIN ON
 OFFENSIVE

PeHoarad, Jan 27.-Aaaln thc Rus sian general staff has lnauaurated a movement against KonIgcburg on Che Baltlo sea, the capital of East Prus- sla. The announcement of the deyel. opmcnt of this newest of Russla's of- feneive movements was announced at the War Office today
 The Russian armies of the North ln stsrburg have succeeded In puehina the Germans back, and the outposto of the czare army have reached with in 55 mlies Of KonIgeburg.
 This Is Che third attack the Rus. sims have started against Konigs- burg. The first one carried many of the Notifications of the city and for time the Cossacks occupied much of Che city itself but German victories at Alienburg and vicinity, south of Konigsbug made lhe Russian posi- ton at tho latter place untenable, and a retreat was ordered and executed. The second offensive movement against the city had to 0o abandoned on account Of reyorses to the Russian arms in Poland and East Prussia
 The success Of the Russian army in North Poland, which is cooperating with that in East Prussia and that in the vicinity of Warsaw has made the thId offensive movement against Ko- nigsburg appear feasible.

 Save from carrying Jew trenches there wao nothing gained from the ter rlble sacrifice Of life.
