LONE FISHERMAN HAS HARD LUCK
 ON BRINY DEEP

DOUGLAS. Feb. 5.-Thc ferry boat Lone Fisherman, operated by the Ju- neau Ferry Company between Ju- ueau and Thauc via Island ports in place of the regular boat Alma, which is undergoing repairs, having broken her shaft three or more weeks ago, experienced hard luck this forenoon by losing her propeller when off 3Iayrower Island in front Of Doug las and shortly after leaving the Douglas docl, for Treadwen at 9:10 o'clock
 As there was eminent danger of the Lone Fisherman drifting onto the rocks, she sounded distress signals repeatedly but there was no boat in the vicinity to go to her rescue. For tunatcly the wind was blowing almos. directly up the channel and the boat drifted nOrthwagl until past both MayfIower Island and the Douglas City dock. When about half way between the two Douglas docks she vecrad in towards the beach. A boat was lowered and an effort made to town her to her own float About that time the Island Ferry Company boat Gent camo along, having left Juneau at 9:3O o'clock. Seeing the Lone Fisherman adrlft the Gent pulled alongside and Captain Morgan of the latter offered to tow the Fish erman to her wharf free of charge. As the Fishcman was not then in i'm mediate danger. the offer of the Gents captain was declined, but pas scugers on tho disabled craft were taken off by the Gent and landed. By this time the Fisherman had drift. ed to the south end of her dock where she was tied up. Later by means of a tow line and a pike pole she was worked around to her float.
 Owing to the Gent not being per. mittcd to lend at Thano. her captain was unable to aid materially tho pas. sengers from the disabled Fisherman to take them on to their destination when the latter boat became disabled.
 The Teddy was placed on the run from Juneau for Douglas and Tread. well. via Thaue this forenoon.

Elephants Compelled
To Haul Circus Train

When a circus train on the Southern
Pacific came to an involuntary stop
near Galveston not long ago. investiga-
tion by the engineer revealed the cause,
il is reported, in a carload Of elephants
right behind the water tank of the en-
CINE tender. Being athirst and dusty.
the intelligent animals had reached
with their trunks through the end win
dow of the car into the tank, and every
drop Of the water had gone to aSsuage

Of dusty hide.
The elephant trainer was called from

by unloading the four offending Gle

|An-American Art Exhibit in Paris
First Event Of the Kind
Since the Beginning of
the War-A New Latin
Quarter Association

Paris, April Is (by mail. The first
all-American art exhibition held in
Paris since the beginning of the war
was opened last week in the rooms Of
the Lyceum Club. 8 Rue de Penthievre.
All the exhibitors are members Of the
newly formed Latin Quarter Associa-
ton of Paris. which is intended to be a
broader edition of the old Latin Quar-
ter Association.
The finest things in the present ex-
hibit are three bronze statuettes by
Otto K. Gaensslen, and the best of them
is a dancing girl, nude, pivoting on
the right foot. Another is also very
graceful dancing girl, while the third
is called The Dying Bull" The bull is
a victim of the toreador, and is shown
as he is about TO plunge forward with
the sword between his shoulders.
Edgar MacAdams, a former protege
Of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, has
portrait bust of Paul p. Littauer, one
of the American aviators with the
French army, and an ideal study of a
Belgian refugee. John S. IRIS has three
bronze statuettes in the Rodn style.
Among the paintings the best are a
view of the Place de POpera and the
Boulevard des Capucines, by A. G. War
shawsky, and scene from the trenches
in Champagne by Charles Thorndike
Warshawsky's picture is one of a series
he is doing of Paris to be shown later
in New York. For this picture he has
chosen a wet afternoon in January, and,
curiously enough for a scene in the
French capital, the prevailing tone is
the khaki of the British army.
Thorndike is member of the American
Ambulance Field Service and his pct-
ure was made while he was serving at
the front. 1t shows the Champagne in
winter with its covering of snow, the
lonely trench and the stumps of trees
between the lines. RACED by the bonn
bardment 1t pictured only too ac-
curately the desolation of the battle
field.
Miss A. Murphy has an exceedingly
intense portrait of young girl. Among
other pictures are post impression
istic Chateau with Garden by Edith
VI. Fry; a conventionally pleasing en-
terror by Anna Woodward, and four

The War Baby's Cradle Fund

mostly ruins. but among these still live
number of wrecks Of humanity, who
crouch amid the wrecks of buildings.
Some are mothers. with poor, starved
children.
One of these Miss Morgan told about
this week TO the National League for
Women's Service. The home was only
howell. IL was dark inside. The window
glass was gone and the draft hole
filed with straw and dirty rags. A
board was placed across two barrels
and served as table. A bed built
into the wall seemed intact, but no
sheets were there and no pillows. A
woman with pnched face and haunted
eyes was there, with two children-a
boy of five and bioy of two. Their
great holloweyes had an imploring look,
like frightened deer's. The drawn skin.
the hollow temples, cne huge eyes, told
the story OF months Of starvation.
IL was evident another baby would
soon be numbered in the household.
The kind visitors got the woman's story
little by li.tle. Her husband, OF course,
had gone 10 the war she knew not
where. The baby in fer arms war born
during the German entrance. so that
she could not feet with the other refu-
gees. subsequently, her life was within
the German lines. She scrubbed. she
washed, she cleaned boots, she shaved
all day, and she was fed enough 70
keep her alive. But her children got
no rations but part of her own. and
scurvy had lately become an added
curse. And now another baby WIS due.
What preparation was there for the
child? n one. Had she bedding and
clothes and blankets? None. Had she
necessary linen? None The dirty rags
in the window hole she could wash out
and use. Would any one come and care
for her in her sickness Yes, probably
neighbor down the street.
There are l25,000 women and chill
dren in this part Of devastated France.
The work OF the War Baby's Cradle
is to furnish bedding, medicines, a
nurses care for ten days, II is a work
which appeals TO the mothers OF Amer
lea, and, in fact, to all men and women.

The camera man said he wished il

The camera man and the director were
very rough in their talk. They said
