Transport Sumner Is in
 Grave Danger From Waves

New York. December 15.-The United States transport Sumner, which went aground off Barnegat, N. J., in a fog Monday night and which has resisted all efforts of tugs to draw her off the sand, was believed early this morning to be in danger of going to pieces. Vessels which had gone to her assistance have been asked to stand by to take off the members of the crew who have remained on board.
 A call also was sent to the Barnegat coast guard crew to come to the as- sistance of the men on board.
 The transport began leaking badly last night and the engine room was flooded before midnight. At that hour the Sumner began to settle deeply into the sand and it was believed there was slight probability that the vessel could be saved.
 Sixty-one members of the crew of the Sumner were brought to this city yesterday on board the transport Kill patrick, which had stood by for many hours to lend it's aid to the tugs which were attempting to drag the stranded steamer into deep water.
 The last word was not finished. but 1t was supposed to mean power boat
 The coast guard cutter Seneca and others manned by the Barnegat coast guards were on their way to the Sum- ner's side a few minutes later.
 When the Sumner left Colon on De- cember 4 she was reported to be car rying a crew of II officers and 11S men. Deducting from this number the 61 taken off by the Fitzpatrick there would be left on board 68 men.

From Longshoreman to Admiral

Washington, who 9 years ago was n longshoreman on the Tacoma docks is now, at the age of B. head of the Pacific Steamship company, with S12.000,000 fleet, and as such, the dominating figure in Pa- cific coastwise shipping from the Arctic circle to the Tropic of Cancer.
 The Pacific Steamship company is a recent consolidation of the two largest companies on the coast the Pacific Coast Steamship company and the Pacific Alaska Navigation company. The an nouncement focused the attention of ths public on new and striking figure that has appeared on the screen of "big busi- ness"

Atlanta, December 15.-Mrs. Alice Can non, formerly of Spartanburg, S.

Wounded Soldiers as Artisans

Translated from Vyestnil Evropy for
 Cartoons Magazine
 This war has showed once again that the Russians can suffer and die as be- comes a great people. Perhaps this quality is passive in nature, but those who have witnessed the suffering and death of the Russian soldier at the front will readily concede the possibilities lat ent in such nation-possibilities that will be realized at the proper time when the fruit is ripe.
 Our medical staff is composed mainly of men recently wounded in actual fight ing, but recovered and sent to the front as hospital workers. The memories of their sufferings are still fresh in their minds, and this accounts, perhaps. for their splendid care of the wounded, ir- respective of nationalities. To them the wounded German or Austrian is a suffer- ing comrade rather than an enemy. But our men on the hospital force have one deep-rooted conviction as the result of long and rich experience; they have never met more enduring or braver patient on the hospital cot than the Rus- sian soldier. ~

NO CONSIDERATION
 GIVEN OFFERING OF
 TRUCE BY VILLA
El Paso Report Is That the Bandit Has Agreed to Cease Expectations
 on Americans

Fl Paso, Tex, December 15.-A Mexican Francisco Villas camp at Creel, 50 miles west of Minaca in the Guerrero district of Chihuahua, with proposals for the United States government 'that Villa would refrain from the further destruc- ton of foreign life and property in Mex ico on condition that the United States would not interfere in any way with his campaign against the Carranza gov- ernment.
 This was officially announced late to- day by a high representative of the government here after Villas proposal had been forwarded to Washington by telegraph
 Villa also offered to protect all for eigners and their property from the raids of irresponsible bandits, it was also stated.
 This proposal included all Americans in Mexico, it was added.
 At the camp where Villa had left his wounded in the Guerrero district, num- Der of Carranza wounded were also being u eated by Villas surgeons after they had promised to join the Villa army, the Mexican report to government agents stated.
 Villa had 5000 well armed men and S000 rifles in reserve, the courier reported, and also number of artillery pieces with him and a supply of shells.
 From sources here known to be friendly to Villa it was learned today that Villa was anxious to put himself in better light with the United States government, and this was said to account for the fact that no Americans or other foreigners other than Chinese and Arabs were killed in Chihuahua City during the five days Villa was in. control.
