Rind. "She started to drift about 10
O'clock Saturday night. We were
standing by half a mile away, just
outside the reef, riding out the storm.
The first means we had OF know

started burning a barrel of tar on
her stern, about 1920 o'clock. We
thought it was just little Christmas

was drifting nearer the breakwater.
I'VE tried to get line to her. but
she was too far away, and for US to
have gone any nearer the reef would
have wrecked us, too. So we had to
stand helplessly by and watch her go

soon after she started to drift.

and the spray was going clean over

we could see the light of the bonfire

Mr.. Vaughan then gave to a repre-
sentative of the Star-Bulletin a clear
and concise statement OF the manner
In which he intends to conduct the
business of the office of the United
States district attorney, as long as he
remains In the position which he now
holds. He says that he desires the
cooperation of the press and the pub
lie in his work; that he wants the peo-
pie Of the territory to feel that the
law is for their protection and not
alone for their prosecution.
THE first thing that this office
needs is the help of all the moulders
Of public sentiment In these islands

just and a fair administration of the
laws" Mr. Vaughan continued,
whether here temporarily or perman-
emily, shall invoke the aid and help
of all toward this end.
mo district attorney can do any
good here without the help OF the peo-
pie and especially the public press,
which has more to do with the crea-
ton of public sentiment than any 9TH
er factor know of.
People cannot be drawn, but they
can be led, and they should be led
right.
Finds Work Much Behind.
without any effort to unduly criti.
cize my predecessor. / find that the
work of the district attorneys office
here is very much behind. and the
first thing necessary is the cleaning
up Of all the accumulated business
as speedily as possible. We are going
to turn over q new sheet in this Office.
1t is going to be q clean. white sheet
and we are going to keep It clean and
white.
Il wish every man In the territory
who is disposed to obey the law to
feel that the law Is hts protector and
that the officers of the law are here
as hts servants"
Mr.. Vaughan added that as soon as
present pressing business matters are
cleared I'D, he will began an attack
on all business which has been accu-
mulating during the last few months,
with a view to getting it out Of the
way as quickly as possible.

LUCKY NUMBER

will be one of the gifts tonight at
Teal's country store, Bijou.
This prize is well worth buying a
ticket for. This prize is attractive for
the reason that if the lucky winner is
so fortunate as to require no dental
work, DR.. Clemmens will give instead
SO in gold. If the dental work neces-
sary amounts to only part of the
value of the prize $4,000, DR.. Glenn

Remember, DIR. Clemmens has
brought from Philadelphia the latest

COLLINS REACHES
CAPITAL OF RUSSIA
Through the Balkan Peninsula
to Petrograd.

Direct word was received by the Newark
News Apr % from its staff correspondent,
w. +. Collins, announcing his safe arrival
in Petrograd, toward which he has been
working his way from southern Europe,
despite official assurances that all doors to
Russia from that direction were closed.
The despatch reads:
'Petrograd-Arrived safely.
''W. F. COLLINS"
The last despatch received from Mr..
Collins came through the American minis
ter at Bucharest April 81, reporting
that the News man had left Roumania in
an effort to reach the Russian capital,
after having trayersed the Balkan PENN
sula from Athens to Bucharest While no
mention was made of the course he would
follow it seemed most likely that he would
strike for Odessa, either by rail or boat,
since 1t was the only route not likely to
be disturbed by military operations.
reports coming from the war zone dur
! ing the last few days, telling of the extern
sion OF the Austro-Russian fighting lines
into Bessarabia, suggest that the News
man has outf1anked the opposing armies,
going around the eastern end of their lines
into the Russian interior; figuratively, if
he took the boat from Bucharest to
Odessa, and literally, if he went by train
At any rate, they did not impede his jour
ney to Odessa which has been looked upon
i as the most difficult section of the trip.
From Bucharest to Odessa is $50 milts or
more as the crow flies and corresponding
i ly longer as the trains and boats run.
i Odessa Is the starting point of several
lines running north through Little Russia
i and Great Russia to the capital A new
short line was scheduled for completion
J last summer, connecting Odessa with
Pakhmatch, where lines to the capital di

other through Kiev, and third through

GERMANY ON CoNTRABAND.

Germany, by declaring an extension of
the contraband quality and announcing
the adoption of policy similar to that of
the allies with relation to consignments
ito order at neutral ports, goes Britain
one better in the establishment of per-
fectly outrageous condition.
Germany has precisely the same moral
right to declare war on the commerce Of
neutral states that England has, which is
none at all. In so far as the theoretical
Justice or injustice of their edicts go there
is no choice Each and both would sim
ply subordinate all neutral rights to the
militory advantage of the moment. 1t
merely happens that Germany's method
of enforcing her decree, if she can enforce
| it at all, must necessarily be somewhat
more crude, a bit more flagrantly outra-
geous than Englands She must destroy
ships and cargoes, she cannot take them
| into port and put them through a prize
court.
BY thus adopting the utterly unjustifi
able British attitude toward neutral trade
Germany sacrifices some advantage in ETH
cal position-perhaps only slight advan
tage but still an advantage-which she ha
occupied over her enemies in her attitud,
toward neutral commerce. And what it i
to gain her is very difficult to see.
