NO NEW STEPS
To END WAR
Officials Say United States
Stands Just Where 1t
Always Stood.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 5.-No new steps
to end the war have been taken by
the United States, as far as officials
here have foreseen, none are likely in
the near future, according to an au-
thoritative statement of the govern
ments position obtained today from
high officials.
The United States, it explained,
stands exactly where it has stood
since Wilson, at the outbreak of the
war, made on open offer to use Amer
ica's good offices whenever requested.
1t is believed that any peace move
at this. time would be resented as UNI
neutral and might impair the govern
ment's standing as mediator when
the time really came to act.
Attention was called to the decision
of Switzerland, Norway, Sweden,
Spain and the Vatican not to offer
mediation no- to support this belief.

All Night in an Open

j. Thomas Locker, wife and child,

from death Thursday morning, after
being all night in an open boat. suf-
fering exceedingly from exposure.
They had deserted the boat less than
fifteen minutes when, at point about
half mile from the life saving sta
ton, and in the bay, the boat went
down. The little family, taken aboard
the British steamship Strathearn,
was brought over to the city. They
were conveyed in a vehicle provided
by the city upon the request of Fred
Hendricks, a boatman, who rescued
them, to rooning place and restau-
rant, at 700 South Palafox street.
They are in pitiable plight. and are
worthy objects for consideration by
the charitably disposed.

ton some days ago, had not recov-
cred from the effects of that ordeal
last Saturday when, at her little
home, she injured herself Mr.. Locker,
realizing that his wife should have
the constant attention of doctor, de-

little home up the sound Wednesday,
and when near the qSarantine station
a plug in the engine gave out. He
was towed to the quarantine station,
where supper was provided them, and
they We're prevailed upon to remain
all night there. This kind offer the
family refused to accept, expecting
to be in the city within few hours
where medical attention was possible.
After leaving the station, and be-
tween the two lights, power gave out
in the boat, and, in a racing current
and a choppy sea, the powerless motor
boat drifted about like cork. The
wind sprang up, and chilled both the
woman and the child. That was a
condition they experienced all night,
When daylight dawned Thursday they
were yet adrift, and the boat several
times shipped sea after sea.
When Fred Hendricks, boatman for
Mckenzie Company. ran out to meet
the incoming steamship Strathearn,
he discovered the signal of distress set
by Locker. The latter had rugged up
cloth on two sticks, which he was
waving frantically. Capt. Hendricks
