uNARMED BOYS MEET LION
Beast Enjoys Period Of "Watchful
Waiting" While They
Tremble.

Boulder, Colo.-Richard Henderson
and Dudley Rust, two University of
Colorado students, returned to Boulder
from a two weeks outing in the vicin-
ity of Silver lake. with story of a
mountain lion whose acquaintance
they made.
The young men were unarmed.
While walking along trail, carrying
only their fishing rods, they were
startled to meet the beast face to face.
Lion and youths were taken by sur
prise. The beast showed no fright,
and. according to Henderson and Rust,
showed keen interest in them.
The animal was full grown. They
were afraid to run, for fear the lion
would attack them.
Their shouts failed to frighten the
beast, and a period of "watchful wait
ing" followed Finally the animal ap-
peared satisfied with his scrutiny of
the young men, and to their great re-
lief bounded into the bushes and dis
appeared.

five miles on their way they discov-
cred that their only canteen had
sprung a leak and that there was very
little water left. They drank this and
then hsstened their pace. 1t was a
race against death.
Very soon their tongues swelled up
from lack of water and their faces
turned purple. 1t was intensely hot,
with no shelter of any kind. Several
times one or the other. exhausted,
was ready to give up and lie down
beneath the blazing sun, but they
struggled on. ''If the courage of both
c. us had given out at the same time,
we surely would have died there" said
one of the letters.
AS they were staggering along,
dazed and half-blinded, the building
which houses a pool in the desert was
discovered on the horizon. Their
strength was almost spent, but they
reached the spring, crawling the last
few rods on their hands and knees.
They were too inexperienced to drink
sparing]y. and over-indulgence almost
completed the work which privation
began. They were very sick for sew
erai hours. They finally managed to
reach a little town on the edge of the
desert and there spent the night.

In Paris the leaders of fashion have
discarded the small turban hat for the
larger models of white satin. These
stunning hats appear in wide vari-
ETY. of shapes, with gracefully rolling
brims or brims which fare more on
one side than the other. The favor
ite. however, is the wide, straight
brimmed sailor. smoothly covered
with white satin of a good quality.
These are trimmed with simple bow
of white satin. the ends of which are
sometimes fringed Fantasies OF plu-
mage appear on a few models. but the
majority are simply trimmed with the
satin or MORE.
The crowns Of these hats are rather
low, and the tops are unlined and
scantily gathered about the edge.

Washington, Jan. l6.-Arguments were

clusion Of its investigation of the rates,
practices, rules and regulations govern
ing transportation of anthracite Eleven
of the principal coal carrying roads are
involved and the case is considered one OF
the most important before the commits

The investigation was begun by the late
Commissioner Marble in 1912, and ties
timony filling about 70 volumes has been
taken. The governments position was
stated yesterday to rest on the conten-
ton that the cost of transportation, the
investment of the roads and the DISPOSE
tion of their income did not justify the
rates charged.

Lodge Blames Congress for

WASTES ENOUGH
TO MAKE DEFENSE
Drop Expenditures Where
the Votes Are the
Thickest

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Lodge
yesterday called upon Congress for an
adequate national defense, declaring the
blame for the present weakness lay
largely with the national legislature
which had disregarded the advice of sec
rotary after secretary on the matter OF
defense. In its present condition the
army and navy, he said, are lamentably
weak and unbalanced, but the money un-
wisely spent for unnecessary appropria-
tons for sections of the country where
the votes are thickest would suffice to
provide an adequate protective force for
the country without adding a burden of
extra taxation.
The ocean is no longer barrier and
the United States, unarmed, invites at
tack.
He designated what he termed many
defects and said they were almost who'll
ly due to Congress"
An adequate national defense, the SEN
ator said could be obtained without adj
ditional expenditure. Gut off our need
less army posts, navy-yards and sta
tions," he advised the Senate. LAY
aside for few years appropriations for
public buildings and river and harbor
improvements where they are not need
ed.
Drop all the expenditures which are
designed for spots where votes are ly-
ing thiekest and you will have money
enough 10 provide for a sufficient army
and an adequate navy without adding to
the burden of taxation"
Senator Lodge asserted that not only
the regular army but the militia was
highly defective, adding that the Panama
canal was "miserably and most made
quately protected" against being blown
up and blocked for months by agents or
spies OF a hostile nation. He said the
OF Secretary Garrison for
a $4,000 increase in men was very mod
crate.
Senator Lodge declared the army was
without sufficient artillery and artillery
and said available testimony
showed that the guns in the Notifications
were OF shorter range than those carried !
by foreign waTships Of the latest de-
signs.
Senator Lodge stated that there was
apparently a sufficient number of mines |
Tor harbor defense, but that there was a |
shortage of cable and mine planters.

Jared the senator, "to protect and give
warning of the approach of a hostile

BRITAIN YIELDS A POINT.
Will Not Oppose Release Upon Bail of

Washington, Jan. l6.-A new effort by
the British government to relieve the
transatlantic shipping situation was an
nounced yesterday in a statement issued
by the British embassy declaring that
Great Britain will not oppose release

This concession, it was pointed out is
expected to partly relieve the present

crown, it is said, is anxious to with
draw as few ships as possible from the
transatlantic carrying trade. While it
cannot give pledge that all ships now
held in British prize courts will be re-
leased on bail, the government will fur
