If there's "a little ruch upon it"

the mouse naval committee today. He
urged the immediate addition Ct 25,-

ton OF battle cruisers and scouting
craft to meet tho situation.
Equal to ANY Built.
The American ships, the admiral
said, are equal to any built and the
officers and men of the fleet are we'll
trained and efficient. but if the Attain
tic fleet was ordered out today to de-
fend the whole coast line, it would be
unable to take all its available ships
for the lack Of men, and would be
compelled to fight blindfolded for the
lack of scouts.
Admiral knight submitted a sketch

fleet could strilSf. virtually where It
pleased unless skouting craft are pro-
vided to find tho enemy.
Il The first steptin the building pro-
gram this year, he said, should be the
authorization of six battle cruisers
and eight scout cruisers all with a
speed Of 35 knots.
The present fleet, Admiral Knight
added. is unbalanced in men and

THRILLING RESCUE BY
SIXTEEN YEAR Old BOY
Takes Companion From River After
He Is Almost Frozen

thrilling rescue by Ray Ellis, 16-
year-old boy, Charles Thomas was
taken late Saturday night. half frozen
and nearly lifeless. from a tree in the
flood and ice packed Des Moines river
where he had clung to the branches
several hours after seeing COM
panion drown.
Thomas and f. A. Rommell. Mahas-
ka county engineers, attempted to
dynamite the ice foe when they wer
swept into the stream, Rommell per-
ishing. Thomas caught the top of a
tree which had been partly submerged
by the flood. Lodging his boat against
two other trees Ellis threw rope to
Thomas SO the latter could make it
fast to a branch of the tree. Ellis
secured this end and Thomas slid
down.
Death nearly balked the rescue at
the last moment. In his slide down
the rope Thomas, exhausted, dropped
into the water. He sank but the boy
seized him when he came UP and
dragged him into the skiff. Efforts to
break the ice pack still have been
unavailing and last night the flood
was increasing. lowlands being GOV.

ton of the Easton-Rowe split salary

her $4,000 salary. According to Mrs.

ostensibly for Mrs. Thompson's sister,
Mrs. Margaret E. Mivelaz.
Mrs. Eaton testified that she drew
thirteen checks and turned the pro-
ceeds in cash over to Mrs. Rowe.
Checks and stubs were marked. The
first one bore the legend "For Mrs.

Bodies of three more Las

Among those was a baby,

The baby was discovered by

New German Mines.
The British press is almost
unanimous in assuming that
the Maloja and other vessels
sunk by mines during. the
weekend were victims of the
fresh sowing of German
mines. The theory most fire.
quently advanced is that a
certain class of neutral ship
ping is employed in laying
these mines.
The Pail Mall Gazette sug-
gests that such operations
may drive England to still
more stringent supervision
of neutral shipping than have
yet been exercised by the adj
miralty.
