Samoa. Cal, Jan. l3.--The rescue
OF the s17 men and II officers OF
the stranded cruiser Milwaukee be-
gan shortly before 3 o'clock this
afternoon. At 3:15 one breeches
buoy was bringing the men ashore.
two at . time. and two surf boats
were operating between the cruiser
and the beach. At that hour 40 men,
bers Of the crew had, been brought
TO safety and Il was believed the en-
tire company would be rescued by
dark.
The irst man rescued was. Phiiip
Decker. coxswaih, fourth division.
Next came Junior Lieutenant Hay
slip.
Although the sea had calmed con-
siderably. the vessel was still In very
great danger. Doubt that she ever
will be taken OF was growing.
That the water had flooded two
OF the four fire rooms was the state
ment OF some OF the firemen brought
ashore.
The cruiser was lying broadside to
the breakers. She was rolling and
pitching badly and fears were ex-
pressed by some observers that the
tide. then coming In. might turn her
over.
Shortly before noon the coast
guard men got line aboard the ves-
sci and hastily prepared to use the
breeches buoy.
At noon the monitor Cheyenne and
the naval tug Iroquois were lying
close by, but were helpless to aid
the stranded warship, fearing to
come. too close lest they share her
fate.
The Milwaukee still has her cable
aboard the submarine HIS,

Eureka, Jan. 13.-The cruiser Mil
waukee. which has been engaged
here In an effort to pull the sub
marine HIS of the sand bar on which
she driited recently, went aground
early today in a dense fog near the
scene OF the HIS disaster. At s a. m.
life savers reported that she was in
the first line OF breakers near Samoa.
The life saving crew was rushing to
the scene OF preparing to take of the
Milwaukee's company should her pos
itlon prove dangerous.
The news Of the plight Of the Mil
waukee came when the fog. which
had enveloped the Humboldt bay re-
gion lifted, Although no details OF
the trouble could be ascertained, II
was believed that the cruiser
drifted into the breakers during the
early morning hours, For several
days the Milwaukee, which came here
from Mare Island navy yard, has been
trying to put steel hawsers aboard
the stranded H-3 preparatory to at
tempting to pull on the diver which
Is imbedded In eight feet Of sand.
Thursday night the hawsers were
finally fastened to the submarine and
two pulls were given yesterday with
out success. During this time the
Milwaukee has stood out at sea with
all her anchors down TO resist the
strong pull on her BY the heavy steel
hawsers, It is supposed that loosen
Ing OF her anchors may have weak

in-shore, All indications are that shs

A month ago the submarine HIS

Hints Of incendiarism in connec-

explosion are many. James Lynah,

Fellow starters in life, those of you
who are on the threshold of LIES
work, those of you who find yourself
at the fOTked road, remember my
bOyhOOd ambition and make it your
own. Have a goal; strive for high
er education. By so doing avoid be-
ing a mere labOreT, mere goods on
the market, an exchange product, a
body in demand like a draught ami
NAL.
With an education you can be
more Independent and ever a rarely.
You will be more in demand. You
will escape being a mere tool at the
mercy of our capitalists and slave
drivers.
Remember my words. Strive to
be billOw. Try to cap over the in
significant wavelet. To do so, say
again, study, dig hard and succeed in
your pursuit. Your life, then, will be
worth living.-A. w.

ENCOURAGEMENT. - No man
has the right to condemn a woman
for a mistake she would like to rec
tify. Were the soul of the average
man barred to the eyes of humanity,
the just judge would consider the
one mistake of woman as insignif-
icant.
Any man with the least spark. of
manhood in his veins will gladly help
you forget and do all in his power
to help you. The brute who keeps
reminding you of it is only doing so
as a means to satisfy the craving
powers of his passions which are
dragging him down to hell. The real
man always respects the woman
who tries to do right and is only too
glad to help her.
l, myself, have married a girl Of
this type, and after 40 years of mar
ried bliss, feel justified in saying that
l never had one reason to complain,
and that u have always found my
wife an ideal of purity and devotion,
a good companion and a real woman.

The bodice is made with short pep
lum and could hardly be more simply
draped. The sleeves suggest scarf
thrown over the arms, and are wide
at the wrists. They are altogether
rs irresponsible as to shape as the
wide girdls of beads is to It's duty,
which Is to confine the waistline. The
waistline Is Ornamented but not re-
strlcted, and the model may therefore
hold its own In point Of style with
the latest of gowns "a Ia chemise."
Nothing in the way of hat could
look better with this dress than the
filmy model which supplements II. 1t
is n sailor of guileless simplicity and
has transparent brim Of crepe and n
crown of ribbon. There Is a youthful
rOsette-bow of ribbon at the front of
the crown with fishtail ends Of ribbon
resting on the very unsubstantial sup
port furnished by the crepe brim.
This Is a costume for the young maid
and II becomes her slenderncsS.

Moreover, this model Is shown with Il
light ribbon girdle, n thing which has
not been in evidence ON daytime fr0cks
for some time. But the girdle Is n girl
ish accessory and not an essential
part of the composition of the gown,
The owner of handsome lace in
cape, collar or fichu, or In sets for
neck and sleeves, may rejoice at a
mode which makes these accessories
imperative. This gown becomes a
background for their display, and Its
Importance is advanced according to
TIE character Of the neckwear or
sleeve iiounces used. They should
match, If possible. But where one
owns n fine lace collar, net tlounces
for the sleeves may be edged with lace
to match 1t, and the collar made to
bask in the approval of gentlewomen,
for they all love lace.

ProcIaiming the Slender Silhouette

Here Is simple but quite original
evening or dinner dress worn by one
Of the pretty young women who helped
to make "The Boomerang" so great
success. 1t almost goes without say
ing that play presented by Bclasco
will be correctly staged in every par
ticular, and that no detail of costum-
Ing will be sighted. This gown is
among the earliest that proclaimed the
return of the slender silhouette. 1t
appears to have bowed to the inevi-
table, but with much reserve.
The dress Is made of crepe geor-
gette with plain underskirt trimmed
with bands of silver spangles, gradu-
ated In width. Although 1t consents
to be long enough 10 reach the instep,
II refuses to conceal the ankles and
merely wells them. This Is an alluring
bit of coquetry, for you just glimpse
them one minute, and the neXt-yOu
don't. A fOrerunner of the long tunic
appears In the drapery that falls over
the underskirt.

"The time Is here when farm crops
