Rewards for Salvage.
The Shipping World


 The parliamentary secretary to the admiralty gave an interesting account, of the history of salvage. The first, statute which provided a reasonable reward for salvage was passed Tn .1713 In these days of Queen Anne crews of men-of-war and private ships were entitled to claim rewards TOT their services when they gave salvage assistance to vessels in distress. But owners of ships were not recognized@ as having. any claim. Tn 1925 they were admitted by a judgment of Lord Stowen to have an interest in the mat ter. and that interest has steadily in- creased as the value of ships has risen and as the time expended in the work and the coal and stores used have become considerations of great value. It has gradually become the practice in the courts to allow in salv- age rewards so per cent. to the own CTS and something like 20 per cent. to the master and crew. In the early days of steam-in 1854-another merchant shipping act was passed, and without discussion the Crown re~ nounced any claim for expenses in cured by H. M. ships in rendering salvage service. The act of 1894 also expressly stated that the crown should have no claim for any loss, damage or risk caused to the ship or her stores. tackle or furniture or for the use of any stores or@articles.

NEW WIDOWS PENSION LAW.
In Answer to a Query, The Herald Prints Today the SubjOined
 Data From the Bureau of
 Pensions in Washington:

| "If a person is now pensioned as l the widow of a soldier, sailor or ma- rine who served in the Civil War and was his lawful wife during the period 1 of his service in said war, or is pen- stoned as the widow of a soldier. or marine who served in the Civil war the war with Mexico, or the war of 1912, and has reached the age of 70 years, she should write a letter to the commissioner of pensions depart ment of the interior, being careful to state correctly her pension certificate number, the name and service of the soldier, sailor, or marine, the exact date of her birth. the place of her birth, her name as it appears in her pension certificate, and her present post office address in full No further formal application is necessary to se- cure the benefits of the increase of pension granted by the first section of the new law.
 If the evidence in her pension case s} " s that she is entitled to the increase of pension provided by this legislation, the bureau will as soon as possible grant the increase. If further evidence is necessary, a call will be issued by the pension bureau. No claim agent or attorney will be recognized In connection with this matter.
 Tn order to obtain pension or re- neWal of pension under the second section of the act of congress ap- proved September 8. 1916 (the Ash brook 1aw) a remarked widow who desires to claim the benefits of said section must file a formal application at the pension bureau.

4 Succinct Description of
 R0umaniu 5 Boundaries

Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.-A suc- cinct description of Roumania's s boundaries is given in today's war geo. graphy bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. The analysis of the southern, western and northern frontiers of the largest and most prosperous of the Balkan States is of timely interest in view of the declarn- tion ot war which places this country in alliance with the Entente Allies against the Central powers. The bull letin says
 "The two big western jaws of Rou- mania-the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia-look as if they had been set with gigantic, jagged teeth by some titan deity of war And these great molars, the towering Carpathians, seem ready to close down upon and bite from Austria -Hungary's dcmain the rich region known as Transyl- vania, with an area of 21, 900 square miles. Now that hOstilities between Roumania and the dual monarchy have been declared it is the problem of the latter nation to make the nat ural fortress of cast Hungary an inn pregnable salient jutting far into the new enemy's lines.
 From Verciorova in the southwest, where the Danube rushes through the Kazan Defile out of Hungary and be- comes the southern boundary of Rou- mania, to that point in a northeastern ly direction where, the three frontiers of Russia, ROumania and. Bul<owina meet is 300 miles in an airline, but following the crest of the Carpathans along the devious international boundary between western RoUmania and eastern Hungary the distance is more than 500 miles. This line Is pierced at several points by passes and swift-fOWing rivers which break through that rocky wall, but, general ly speaking, the mountains, which are known as the Pennsylvania Alps and which at some places attain an alti- tude of more than 5000 feet form a great rampart for @,Hungary, as the eastern slopes into Roumania are much more precipitous than those leading westward down to the fertile Hungarian plain.

Boston, aside from it's dearth of beans is now confronted with an ad- vance in price on small loaves of bread. The 1oaves that formerly sold at five cents now sell at six cents. The higher cost of flour and the general advance in the cost of labor are given as the fundam ental causes of this new condition. There is no law fixing the price of a loaf of bread. There is a law, however, which establishes the weight of a loaf. This is the consola- ton of consumers. If the price ot bread goes up the weight of the loaves cannot be diminished. The six cent loaf must be identical in weight with the five cent loaf.

INDEPENDENT VOTING,

Men in many states who voted for
 Republican governors have announced
 their intentions of supporting Wood
 row Wilson in the present presidential
 campaign. Just as Colonel Norris G.
 Osborn voted for Governor Holcomb
 at the last gubernatorial elections in this state ana says he will vote for Wilson in November, so, many promi- nent men in various walks of life have decided to do the same thing. They will vote for Wilson even after hav- ing served in the Republican party.
 A host of college. professors have
 Joined the phalanx of Wilson support
 CTS. One of the latest educators to-
 publicly set forth his reasons for up-
 holding Wilson is Frank Thi1ly of
 Cornell. He says:-"I voted for MT.
 Hughes as Governor of New York and
 had no reason to regret it. At the time he was an independent and he had no concern with national issues
 in administering the affairs of our state. During the present campaign, however, he seems to me to repre- sent a. type of Republicanism which, I had hfped, had done it's worst in our country. And he has said nothing in all his many speeches that leads me to believe that he would improve on MT. Wilson's record in in- ternational affairs. I expect to cast my vote for Woodrow Wilson, and I hope that he will be reelected"
 The great league of independent voters of which the Cornell professor is truly representative is growing bigger and stronger every day. It is not a political organization, it cannot be seen with bodily eyes, but it exists nevertheless and will play an inn portant part in the approaching na- tional elections. Because men vote with any one particular party in their town and state elections is no reason they should, in the national elections support some man they know nothing of simply because he belongs to their party. Woodrow Wilson is proving a big attraction to those men who are leaving behind the fields of mar row partisanship and are going out to vote as their consciences and not political bosses, dictate. Re- ports from various states in the Union serve to show a tendency toward a new spirit in America, the spirit of independence in politics. It is a good thing. Too many men take their political affiliations too seriously. The professional politicians who make livelihood, or gain all the honors from the game ever strive to hold the American voter in line; but the day of independence is coming, and coming fast It is scheduled to arrive the day after November 6 of this year.
