WAS TRUE MAN AND PIONEER
Peter LOTUS, Answers the Call of
His Master on High

After a residence of full sixty
years at DeSoto, Peter LOTUS, one of
the strong men mentally and physi-
cally, gave up life's struggles and
pleasures. He died in a Lacrosse
hospital. following a weeks treat
ment Funeral and burial was in La
Crosse on Thursday last. He was
born in Ireland in 1882, came to
America in 1854, living first in Bos-
ton. He came west as the represen-
tative u. S. Tate Co., the largest lum-
Der corporation in the United States
stationed first at St.Paul, later in
DeSoto, where the firm moved their
mills. There he has remained all
these years, prospered, reared thrift
ty family. He was respected in life
and his memory will be long revered.
The incident of the Lotus family's
voyage to this country is one that
will bear repeating. 1t is told in the
current issue of the DeSOto Argus
This voyage on the Break of Day"
was full of adventure and much suf-
fering. After being at sea a few
days the captain and his officers COM
menced the use of liquor and becom-
ing intoxicated neglected to consult
the quadrant and the barometer. In
this condition the ship was turned
from its course and drifted into a
fierce tornado. Seeing their situation
the crew tried to trim the ship and
had to call on the passengers to help
The two days and three nights in
which the 1000 passengers and the
crew of 65 were huddled below, Mr..
Lotus talked of as the greatest pam
ic he ever witnessed. He managed
10 get glimpse of the size the waves
and described them as being as high
as the hills in this neighborhood. At
ter the storm Gained starvation fac
ed them as all the food and water
had been swept off the ship. Luck
lily a passing vessel sighted them and
proved to be the Red Gauntlet bound
for America. The captain of this
ship offered to take the passengers
and crew aboard but the captain of
the Break of Day refused and only
asked for spars and canvas to rig his
ship up. They then turned for the
coast of Ireland and before they
landed the captain jumped overheard
and was not seen again. After re-
pairs were made the ship again set
sail and arrived at Boston in 1854.

ADDRESS HADASSAH.

The newly organized local chaptef OF
the Hadassah will meet Sunday after
noon at 3 P. NJ in the Temple House.
After the business meeting, at which
board of directors will be elected, there
will be talk given by Charles e.
Cowen of New York, who is member
of the Provisional Committee for Cen
eral Zionist Affairs.
In order that those who are not &C
quainted with the organization may
learn of it's aims and purposes, few
statements issued by the central office
will bear repetition.
The Hadassah was organized five
years ago to establish fund with
which to pay nurses in Palestine as we'll
as to further Zionist propaganda. At
present there are "a chapters in United
States. In January, 1913, two Amerl-
can nurses we're sent to Jerusalem
They lived in settlement house fur
nished through the kindness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nathan Straus. When the war be-
gan, however, the nurses had to come
back, and their work is now being car
ried on by two physicians in Jerusalem
In November, 1915, Miss Rose Kaplan
formerly nurse in charge in Jerusalem
was sent to Alexandria, Egypt, to look
after Palestinians banished from Tur-
key since the war.
In America Hadassah's work has
been largely educational, circles being
organized within the chapters to carry
on study, sewing, reading and music
work. A school of ZiOnism, with varl-
Gus branches in the cities, has been es-
tablished as we'll as a circulating IL
