CLAIMS LITTLE FOUND DEFECTS
 IN BATTERIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 BOSTON, Nov. "A conversation in the course of which Rear Admiral Will liam N. Little, retired, refused to ac- cept the batteries of the submarine k-2, until her builders had agreed to make good any defects that might de- velop. was described at today's session of the court martial of the rear ad- miraI on charges of neglect and care less methods in connection with his duties as Inspection officer.
 The testimony was given by Lieut. Warren G. Childs, who was assistant inspector of machinery at the Fore River ship yards while the submarine was under construction.
 He said that Admiral Little called the attention of s. A Gardner, repre- sentative of the Electric Boat company. builders of the submarine to conditions that might arise from the presence of lead drops in the battery.
 MT. Gardner, Lieut. Childs said. agreed to stand back of the battery, so far as damage from lead drops was concerned, throughout the life of the battery. To this Rear Admiral Little replied according to witness. that he must have the cOmpany's word for such an agreement and this was secured by telephone.
 Lieut.. Childs was not positive that there was such an agreement in writ ing but he could almost swear that he had seen a letter from the company officials in which they agreed to stand by the life of the battery of the K-2 provided they were not obliged to over haul all the batteries of this type.
 Admiral Little declared. according to Lieut.. Childs. that so far as he was concerned he had no fear that there was anything serious the matter with the battery Under oss-examination, Lieutenant Childs said that in his opinion the battery was in excellent condition when accepted.
 Before court adjourned. a telegram was received from Secretary of the Navy, JOsephus Daniels, upholding the activities of Lieutenant w. B. Wood son, assistant to Lieut.. Commander All fred w. Johnson. the judge advocate. The court, during the morning. had sustained the objection of the defense to the part taken by Lieutenant Wood son. but reversed it's stand upon the receipt of the explanation of Secre- tary Daniels.

 Crowded into a little summer cot tage at Bastendorff beach. twelve miles from aid and medical attention four women and three little boys were being worked over to bring back life while the only light was that from two lanterns at Il o'clock tonight.
 Sailors who did come safely through the surf half a mile from the Santa Clara wreck were groping about in the dark along the beach for other victims of the disaster. Several women reached shore through the surf with scarcely any clothing. The bodies brought ashore up to 10 o'clock were covered with sand and scarcely recognizable. The purser lost his passenger list when he came ashore.
 Ann Tioney of Eureka lost nearly all her clothing and was bruised about the face and body. She called pite- ously for help and country women who were called to the scene offered clothes and other aid.

Seizure of American Steam ship by British Cruiser Has Brought to Issue Question on Which Gov ernments Differ.
LANSING WANTS
 AN EXPLANATION
Cables Ambassador Page to Secure from British Gov ernment Facts Connected with Incident and Rea- sons Therefor.
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The seiz- ure of the American steamship Hock- ing by a British cruiser off the At lantic coast has brought to issue q question on which the positions of the United States and the entente allies are so far apart that some officials believe arbitration ultimately will have to be resorted to for settlement.
 Secretary Lansing called Ambassa- dor Page at London today to secure from the British government an eX- planation of the facts connected with the seizure of the Hooking and the req sons therefor. When Nhis infor- nation is forthcoming the state de- partment probably will protest imme- diately and demand the surrender of the ship. It is fully expected that following it's usual course, the British foreign office will claim the privilege of sending the Hooking to a, prize court, and as the United States gov ernment, where no question of human life was concerned, usually has con- sented to await the issue of the regu- lar legal proceedings, it is likely that no objection will be made, though all reports will be reserved.
 Accepting the statement of the president of the American company, owning the Hooking, that the steamer is wholly American, the state depart ment is expected to base its demand for the surrender of the ship on the general authorization of international law for the sale of a merchant vessel to a neutral even if the vessel was originally of belligerent ownership, which is not alleged in the case of the Hooking. formerly a Danish ship.
 The British contention, it Is be- lieved, will be that the American Transportation company. used Ger man money to purchase the ten ships which # operates and that the real owners of the vessels are Germans.
 The British government. in the early stages of the war. practically operated under the American construction of law to the effect that the flag of registry actually fixed the character of the ship, so that cnly those vessels under German or Aus trian flags were fair prizes. Last week however in order to conform to the policy of France, it was explained, Great Britain published an order in council declaring it to be no longer exDedient to be governed by the dec laration of London in regard to regis try and adopting the French rule that ownership and not the flag determines a vessels nationality.

Reviews in Detail Steps Taken by Him and Mem bers of His Legation Staff ill Behalf of the British Nurse.
PUBLICATION OF
 LETTERS ANNOYING
Says Making Public His Correspondence with Am bassador Page Embar- rasscs Him with German
 Authorities ill Brussels.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2-Brand Whitlock, American minister to Bel gium, has transmitted a long report to the United States government, re- viewing in detail the steps taken by him and the members of his legation staff in connection with the execu- tion by the German military authori- ties of Miss Edith CavelI. a British nurse.
 The minister declares that reports by him on the subject constituted merely a recital of facts without ex- pressiOn of opinion. and he had sub mitted them to Ambassador Page at London for his information but not for publication. In the natural course the ambassador reported on the care of British subjects by American dip- lomatic officers, transacting the du- ties to the British foreign office, which made them public
 Publication of the letters, MT. Whit lock says, greatly embarrassed him in Brussels with the German authori- ties although he adds that the latter now seem satisfied with his explana- tion, and there is no indication of further difficulty. His position from the time the German occupation be- gan in Belgium has been a delicate once, since he has no diplomatic sta tuS as minister to Belgium and is permitted to remain at Brussels only by courtesy of the German military commander.
 Referring to reports from London that there was evidence of bad faith on the part of the German authOri- ties before the execution of Miss CaYell took place, the minister says the legation officially received no pledge or promise that it would be kept informed of the disposition of the case. There were no cOnversa- tions of a diplomatic character, he explained; the only remarks on the subject were between an emplOye of the legation and a subordinate Ger man official. With the exception of the plea for mercy which MT. Whit lock himself addressed to the Ger man military governor, after Miss Cavell confessed her guilt of aiding allied soldiers to escape from Bel giUm, there was no step taken by the American legation in which the German authorities showed any dis courtesy
 Officials here look upon the incident as closed They do not believe MT. Whitlocks usefulness in Belgium will be impaired, although they realize he has been placed in an uncomfort abIe position

 There is no fairer sight under. the shining sun than a fair young girl squarely launched in her teens-thatf fage which poets and noveEsts love to write about-tender, sweet sixteen. Verse makers would have us believe that at this mystical beautiful age a lmaiden's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Philosophers aver ssnay! nay! not sos'; the maid of six l teen has erept to woman's height, but the heart in her bosom is that of a child. Love should not find her, sweep ing across her white soul with it's scorchfng flame.
 It is afs rude awakening to the house. hold when such girl asks calmly and
 unblushingly if she has the ,farnily's permission to invite a young man to call. GrandmauIna is shocked When 1 I was a chit of sixteen had my dress
 es away above my shoetops and was playing with my dolls. Even >f you, daughter, was not allowed a beau un- 1 til you were two and twenty, and then I've thought you far too young to be wooed and welded and taken away
 from the home nest and mothers watch care,
 This is differents age-girls know
 mNcI more than you did with your flew advantages some sixty years ago
 Aye. and far more at sixteen than I did when was twenty-five. Whether this should be considered worthy of joyous praise or considered a regret,
 who shall say? Childhood Is heeting, girlhood rushes after with rapid steps which pause not to enjoy that glorious | time which can never come to a girl but once.
 I why are girls of sixteen riped today in. knowledge than they were a few
 decades ago? The answer could be
 sunamed up in<scores of different ways
 In other days girls were not allowed I the privilege of girl companions to go
 where their sweet wills dictated with ] out let or hindrance as now. < Chi1-
 dren's parties where little girls and
 boys met and indu1ged in kissing 1 games were few and far between. Therefore the eoTnpanionship of wee
 Iaddies, even their own brothers, was
 not indulged in to divert. the even
 tenor of their calm thoughts Love
 stories and passion poems were un-
 known Few girls left the house un- i attended by either chaperon or older
 home folks. Now young naafdens att lmdvies unattended. Young men prove
 fascinating to them. The younger the girl the more easily is her sleeping
 heart liable to dangers the older and l wiser e1ude. Maidens, instead of talk
 ing about their books or school, wllis-
 per into each others ears of boyish l lovers, love notes, even of marriage. What they do not learn from each
 other they find out through the daily l prints. It is useless to attempt to keep l kno wIedge from those who thirst for l it. Yes, girls of today know far more
 than they should. With a leap they bound from childhood to young wo-
 manhood. The coy maid of sweet six.

And the court had granted him the GUS tody of the child. That's what makes it so terrible. If she is caught any where in Europe-weI1, I don't know what may happen to her. It is just silly acts as this that make American girls the laughingstocks of the whole world
 By this time I had myself pretty well in hand.
 s.I daresay the mother loved the child, which ought to condone one among her multitude of sins. take it, of course, that she was entirely to blame for everything that happened"
 They at once proceeded to tear the poor little mother to shreds, delicately and with fnesse, to be sure, but none the less completely.

 H'Oh, good enough said Betty Billy. seShe was in the smartest set, if that,is a recommendation" /"
 To my disgust the three of them re fused to enl1gnlen me 1uTtueE as lo 1aS history, identity or character of either MT. or Mrs. Pless, but of course I knew that I was entertaining under my roof by the most extraordinary coincidence the Count and Countess of Something brother, who were at war, and the child they were fighting for with motives of an entirely opposite nature.

 While visiting in the country last summer became acquainted with a nice young man. He came to see me every evening. He seemed fond of me, because he put his arm around me and kissed me often He begged me to ex- tend my visit in the country, but I could not When I got home I wrote to him, but he has never answered. My friends tell me he is still there. am so disappointed. Should I write him again?
 It is a loss of time to attempt to change indifference to love. He is ev- identity a. free lance, who makes love to those who permit it, but has no in tention of wedding. unless he comes across a, sweet, modest girl who will not stand for caresses which are not accompanied by proposal of mar riage. Girls who permit the freedom of kissing forget q mans respect The loss of this beau will teach you to treat other young men who would a-wooing come.
