Officers Elected BY Tierney Cadets
Aeeidents-Papsrs to Be Read Be-
fore Travel Club,

Since the abandonment of Stoning-
ton as a terminal for a Sound line Of
passenger and freight steamboats,, the
place is not as prominent on the
marine map. but the harbor is still
there and 1t is rare day. indeed,
when it is not a refuge for vessels
in the coastwtse trade. In the preva-
ience OF strong head winds and I'M
usual fumpy SEQ, scores OF vessels
seek shelter IN Sfonington harbor,
while on o calm day like Wednes-
day there was three-masted and four
EtWo-masted coasting schooners at an
Choir in the harbor. The time was
when the coasting trade was OF al
most equal value to the borough as
the line OF steamers. That was when
the granite industry OF Westerly was
at Its height and much Of the finished
product, the raw material and PAYERS.
were brought to the borough and for
warded to destination by water routes
There Is a strong hope In the bor-
ough that this serious loss of maritime
business will be replaced by healthy
manufacturing interests, il being urged
that there is no better location any
where, than the property vacated by
the steamboat and railroad lines. The
water and railroad accommodations
are equal to the best on the entire
eastern coast.

RESPECTED ABROAD.

America has lost no prestige abroad, is
the conclusion reached by the editor of the
Chicapo Herald, who is in Europe in the
interests of his paper.
On the war front, in the camps, in the
cities, there was no inclination to criticise
America for its course, or to impute the
saffron hue to Wilson'S policy, he says
Officers and men both agreed that there
was no reason for the United States to en-
ter the conflict-nay more, they looked to
this country for ultimate salvation in peace.
If Germany did not respect the United
States, would she have yielded to our sub
marine u1timatum? If England had not
respected the United States, would she
have obeyed so quickly the request to keep
her battleships out of the territorial
waters? And is it not fact that the word
peace" can hardly be whispered in WASH
ington without the chancelleries of Lon
don, Paris, Vienna, Petrograd, and Berlin
vibrating in response.
Americans may we'll feel proud that
their country has the worlds esteem and
confidence.

IMPORT WINES At
! PORT Of PENSACOLA

Twenty-four cases of fine wines,
which were brought here aboard the
Uruguayan bark Cristobal Lluise, and
which were consigned to New Orleans
which We're consigned to New Orleans
at Pensacola yesterday, a customs
officer receiving the shipment from
the vessel and the lot was stored at
the custom house. 1t will probably
be later shipped on to New Orleans,
but duty on the same, it is said, will
have to be paid at Pensacola.
The vessel named was originally
destined for New Orleans, and the
shipment of fine wines, consisting Of
SIC bottles, was intended for import
at the Crescent City. The Cristobal
Lluise was loaded here for Valencia.
and yesterday cleared for that port.
hence the storage of the consignment
here.
As the L. & N. is not what is known
as a bonded railroad, the shipment
could not be sent in bond to its des-
tination, so the import figures at this
point are considerably swelled.
