in Case and Comment. SANDER Tin the

the accusation falsely involves crime,

some person has missed, petty deeds OF

1t was held in an English case that
to express 4 suspicion that one has
committed some act is not s%landerous
per Sc. An Arkansas case has declared
that to declare that ones reputation
for truth and veracity is bad and that
the speaker would not believe the per-
son charged on oath is not %slanderous
in itself.
1t has been held in Georgia, New
York, Louisiana and other states that
such terms as rogue, rascal or villain

y description Of the work of the cut

coast guard in relieving distress forms
an interesting series of marine mis-
haps.
Worst Disaster on Coast.
The work Of the coast guard extends
all over the coasts Of the United States
n the various waters, local and terri
torial. The entire Atlantic coast, the
coast Of Porto Rico. the waters of the
great lakes, the Pacific coast and the
waters of the Hawaiian Islands and
Alaska are all watched ovcr by either
coast guard stations or cutters. The
following is of the important and
interesting rescues of the year, which
is described in the annual report of the
coast guard:
The tug Edward L~uckenback April
3, 1915, on the Virginia coast, between
Little Island and False Cape coast
guard stations, was the most serious
disaster of the year on the Atlantic
coast. OF her crew of seventeen two
were saved, one from the surf and the
other from the tugs mast, after the
seas had somewhat subsidized. The tug
was bound from New York city to
Norfolk with three barges in tow, but
parted her haws"r in Il northeast gale
and snoWstorm off the cupcs of the
Chesapeake.
While trying to pick up the harges
her steering gear was carried away.
and n Il crippled she tried to anchor,
only to suffer additional loss of her
anchor and chain. She was swep
upon the reef and sunk, leaving her
smokestack and the tops of her masts
above water. All but two Of her COM
pany were swept off her. and only one
of these lived to reach the shore. where
he was rescued from the surf by the
coast guard patrol. OF the two who
found refuge on the foremost as she
settled one. the master of the tug, lat
err released his hold and fell into he
! water from exhaustion. The other she
ceeded in maintaining his hold until
the seas subsidized to some extent ON
the following day, when he was res
cued by the surfboat.

The head of the corner"-not the
capstone, but the foundation stone,
upon which all the rest of the struc-
ture depends. "And in none other is
there salvation" The original Greek
reads "the SALVATION" meaning the
Messianic d%eliverance of Israel for
which the nation was looking. Jesus
is the personality, or "name, wherein
We'-the JeWs-"must be saved"
The position of the pronoun is so en-
phatic as to make it plain that it re-
fers to the nation whom Peter was
addressing through it's rulers rather
than to mankind as a whole. The re-
lection of Jesus brought about the
downfall of A. D. 70.
Verses 13-1S.-The test of allegiance.
Such Il bold statement showed the
necessity of careful action. No man
who was not absolutely sure of his
case would think of addressing the
s%anhedrin in such a manner. The I'M
usual character of the apostles action
was made the more manifest because
they had not been trained by the rab-
bis and had no authority to teach, or.
as it is expressed, they We're unlearn-
ed n ignorant men, But the expla-
nation for this was found in the fact
that they had been with Jesus who
taught publicly, although without rab-
binical training. They could not qnes-
ton the miracle. for there was ''thc
man that was healed standing with

sue a cautious course. They feared
lest the teaching of Jesus as the Mes
siah might spread It " y among the
people and stir up a popular Messi-
anic movement against the Romans.
The easiest way would be to stop the
source of the trouble. So they charg-
ell the apostles not to speak at all nor
teach in the name Of Jesus
Verses 19-21.-The triumph of low
atty.
The apostles refused to be silenced.
They appealed to fundamental princi-
pies of righteousness which could not
be denied. and declared that they
could "but speak the things which we
saw and heard" Again the sanhedrin
'%'threatened them" an impotent ac-
ton, but Il human one. Then. having
no charge upon which to hold them
and fearing the displeasure of the
crowd. they let the prisoners go, and
o they We're again in the company
Of the disciples. Then occurred one
of the most remarkable prayer meet
lngS on record. 1t came just at the
time when the hostility of the author
tiles was beginning to make itself
manifest. Yet there is no record of
any petition for protection. Instead.
we are told that the disciples prayed
for boldness, for power, for accept
ance rs servants of the Lord Jesus. No
wonder the place was shaken in which
they were gathered, and another great
inspiration from the holy spirit came
upon them! They believed in that for
which they prayed.

Verses S-12.-The name of power.
While the apostles We're still adj

We're S~adducees, burst in upon them
and hustled the two preachers and
their living example off to Jail for

these S~adducees. In the first place
they We're aristocrats, members OF the

direction held by the pharisees, and
they resented the message Of the apos-
ties III support of this long derided
teaching. Finally they We're political
opportunists, fearing, above all things,
any disturbance to the existing order
whereby the Romans suffered them
to remain in local power and collect
the rewards of office. The proclama-
ton of a national Messiah by the apos-
ties might lead to serious disturbances
If not controlled. After a nights de-
tention the apostles, with the man who
had been healed, We're brought before
a hastily summoned gathering Of mem
bers Of the sanhedrin. The sanhedrin
sat in the form OF Il semicircie in 4
court adjoining the temple. The pris-
oners We're placed in the center and
found themselves facing such distin-
guished men as Annas, the high priest,
who had been deposed by the Romans,
and the present high priest, Caiaphas,

The phrasing of Luke's account

be Il detail which could be arranged in
short order by communicating tele-
phone lines in the vicinity.
With the wireless station in recent
Of information that an enemy fleet or
submarine had appeared off the coast
in Il certain locality the news would
be flashed to the radio station at Ar
lington and communicated by tele-
phone to officials in the navy depart
ment. Orders hen could be sent to
the American warships along the
coast.
Under the coast guard act the men,
bers of the life saving service are put
on a military footing, which they new
er have been before. They are being
enlisted; they were hired for the sea-
son up to the time OF the passage of
the measure. The superintendent of
the stations rank as captains. AS a
result, officials feel hat better trained
men will be on the rolls and that the
service will be of far greater use in
case of emergency.
The arrangements for utilizing the
coast guard cutters, the other branch
Of the service, as naval vessels in
time of war have also been perfected.
Their use as gunboats and patrols
will be extremely valuable.
Active In Times Of Peace.
In peace times in addition to the
patrols constantly maintained during
the active season by the station crews
along the shore and the regular cruis-
ing of the cutters offshore, the latter
are charged with special watchfulness
and activity during the stormy winter
months on the Atlantic coast.
The international service of ice OBJ
%servation and patrol in the north At
lantic has been continued. For this
purpose the Seneca was withdrawn
from regular coast patrol and sailed
from New York early in February,
1915. This vessel made two cruises to
the regions to the north of the Grand
banks to observe and investigate the
ice conditions, and on April l, 1915,
when it was apparent that the bergs
and ice fields had. advanced to the
southwark. so as to threaten the
transatlantic steamship lines, she en-
tered upon the duties of the ice patrol
proper. The Miami was dispatched
from Key West early in March to join
the Seneca on the patrol, and, using
Halifax, Nova Scotia, as a base for
coal and supplies, these two cutters
made alternate cruises and maintain
ed a continuous patrol in the ice dan
ger zone during the months of April.
May and June, 1915.
In general the duties of the coast
guard may be classified as follows:
Rendering assistance to vessels in
distress and saving life and property.
Destruction Or removal of wrecks,
derelicts and other floating dangers.
Extending medical aid to United
States vessels engaged i'll deep sea
fisheries.
Protection of the customs revenue,
Operating as a part of the navy in
time of war or when the president
shall direct.
Enforcement of law and regulations

Some Pitching Records.

Pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander's
work for the Philadelphia team last
season recalls other performances of
great pitchers. In 1904 Jack Chesbro
won ~forty-one games for the New York
Americans.
In 1903 Ed Walsh won forty games
for the Chicago White Sox. In the
same year Christy Mathewson pitched
in thirty-seven winning games for the
Giants. Jack Coombs won thirty-three
games for the Athletics in 1910, and
Walter johnson registered thirty vic
tories for Washington in 1913.
Wood scored thirty-four times for the
Red Sox in 1912. Alexander's record
last season was thirty-one victories.

Cutter and Life Saving
Services Now Merged - New
System Of Patrol Provides In
slant Communication Between
Land and Water Forces-Fif-
teen Hundred Persons Saved
and ST. 100000 Worth Of
Property SaNaged Last Year.

IN VERY inch of the American
coast will be patrolled in case
of war by an entirely new
branch of the military service,
with such a complete system of wire
less and telephone communication at
it's command that the appearance Of
any hostile fleet or submarine can be
communicated almost instantly to the
land and water forces of this country.
This patrol will be made up of the
members Of the life saving service un-
der the scheme now being worked out
for the immediate consolidation of the
coast guard service with the navy in
case Of emergency. These seamen will
be strung all along the coast, with pow
erful marine glasses and constantly
connected telephones to the life saving
station to which they are attached.
The life saving stations in turn will be
connected with the nearest naval radio
station. These stations, OF course, are
at all times able to communicate with
the naval station at Arlington, Va, and
with the American fleets.
Aue lAdllSeAuelll wis worked OUT Nv
Captain William H. G. Billiard, U. S.
n, superintendent Of the naval radio
service. and Captain Commandant Ellis
worth p. Bertholf Of the coast guard
service. 1t is part Of the general
scheme being devised in compliance
with the coast guard act, passed a year
ago by congress, uniting the revenue
cutter and life saving services, for the
taking owe of the combined service
by the navy in case of wal.
Advantages Of such an arrangement
ire easily apparent. The life savers,
constantly on the lookout over the wa
ter, are trained in sighting objects ut
sea which would escape the ordinary
observer. They are accustomed to the
heaviest of seas. They venture fur
her when other sailors make for land
They are hardened to the lonely life
that Is demanded for a coast patrol.
Extent Of Service.
Some idea Of the extent of the serv-
zee may be gathered when attention
8 called to the fact that there are 2Sj
life saving stations in operation, 800
II them being on the Atlantic, gulf
and Pacific coasts. Enough surfmen
are employed to station one at ade-
luate intervals along the coast to es.
ablish a constant chain of %lookouts.
Work is going forward now to con
iect these stations with the nearest
laval radio station by telephone. The
chief purpose of this connection now
