We received a few days ago a
telegram from the captain OF a
schooner at Boothbay, Maine. say.
ing that he could not find the re-
quired number OF registered sea
men at the port. and asking for
permission to clear with what help
he could employ.
THE port officials had refused
him clearance because he did not
have the required quota OF regis
tered seameu.
"The department Immediately
notified the port officials 10 make
an investigation. asked the depart
ment OF labor TO notify. thru it,
representatives al Bath and other
nearby ports, any registered sea
men there and send them to Booth

captain that the government was
looking out for him.
within A remarkably short time

Boothbay, idle men were given EN-.

A similar case was cited at Jack

Within a short time the depart

ton with the department OF com.

the captain a sufficient crew oil

Frequently the department has
found captains OF vessels lacking in
diligence in their efforts to live up
to the requirements OF the law
and such captains are under the
suspicious eyes OF watchful agents
OF the department, the secretary
said.
In one instance, at Jacksonville

Madame Wilenkin To

Madame Gregory wiienkin railed yes

summer with her son. Clarence. who Ia
now at a training camp In England
and naturally enough she took her
charming daughter. Olga. with her. The
boy may be sent to the front at any
time, and of course Madame Wilenkin
begrudges every moment away from
him.
Madame wilenkin IL an English
woman. as you probably know, and her
children's bringing up has been quite
British. Indeed. Olga has for all the
world the appearance and bearing OF
an English girl. Clarence-he's only
eighteen now-was a chubby youngster
of four when he was last in Washing
ton.
Their plans? Well. wartime makes
more uncertain than ever the plans OF
mice and men: but Mime. Wilenkins
present intention Is to return to Wash
ingtpn after a few months absence.
Certainly we all hope she vii. for she ID
clever and charming, and few women
Of the Diplomatic Corps have more

hoping that when the time comes fol-
