Three Sailors Win
Fortune by Brave
Fight to Save Tug
Men Bring Ship Safe to Shore
After 52-Hour Struggle in
Atlantic Storm

How three men refused to abandon
the tug Vigilant when she was sinking
and finally brought her through noun
famous seas and headwinds to port
was told yesterday by Robert Fergus
son. who arrived on the Philadelphia
from Liverpool
The tug left New York December 10
for Liverpool TO be sold TO the British
Admiralty. After passing Newtound-
land the Vigilant encountered heavy
weather and headwinds. The little
craft rolled and tossed at the mercy OK
the waves for thirteen days. Then her
eaptain sent out wireless IS o 81 calls.
The call was picked up by the Hol-
land America liner Ryndam, from Rot-
+erdann 70 New York. She took off the
captain and crew, with the exception OF
three men. who elected 70 remain with
the sinking vessel They were Mate
Ferguson, who had masters license,
from New York; John Smith, fireman,
from South Carolina, and Thomas
Welch, an oiler, also from New York
Fifty-two hours after the captain
and crew abandoned the Vigilant for
more comfortable quarters on the
Ryndam, these three seamen brought
the tug successfully into Castletown,
on the southeast coast Of Ireland. The
pumps were kept going continually,
while the two firemen fired and oper-
ated the engines, although water was
knee-deep in the engine room.
Mr.. Ferguson remained at the
wheel continually during the fifty
two hours, and was in an exhausted
condition when they arrived at the
Irish port. After a weeks rest and
rcpairs 10 the ship. the tug started
again for Liverpool, her original port
Of destination.
Here the British Admiralty award
ed the three men $4,000 for their
bravery. Mr. Ferguson received one
half, while the remainder was divided
between the other two.

BACK PRESIDENT,
HAMMOND URGES
Ridder Says $4,000 1000
Made Untold Sacrifice to
Renew Loyalty

Consideration Of universal peace
problems was brought 70 an unexpect-
ed halt last evening when, at the DIN
ner of the Worlds Court League
note of warning was addressed 20 the
American people by DR.. I. lyenaga' d.
rector Of the East and West News
Bureau. This organization often speaks
in a semi-official capacity, DR.. lyenaga
said.
at is reported that one Of the states
Of the Union is contemplating the
enactment Of the same kind of law
which once strained the Japanese
American relations" said Dr.. lyenaga'
in carefully measured tones. II TINS
sort of pin pricking is often repeated
I fear the time may come when jap
anese rulers cannot restrain the people
And Japan, you know, is becoming
more and more democratic and the
power of the people is daily increas-
ing"
Incident a Surprise
The japanese incident was still more
surprising because Of the hopes tnaI
the league would be able to present
still further argument IN favor o.
peace by an address by Bernard IL;
Ridder. editor of the "Staats-Leltung'
Mr.. Riders pacific utterances had
bsen expectsd to 20 far toward dissolv-
ing the war cloud popularity supposed
Another significant feature Of the
dinner. which was held at the Bit

Hammond. president of the league, who
was too in 10 be present. In II he re-
iterated the statement repeatedly made
at the afternoon session OF the or
Plantation. that the league was not
an auti-war body and would do MOTH
ing 10 embarrass President Wilson.
The letter concluded with this para
graph, accepted as reference TO VIII
lam Jennings Bryan's efforts at peace
during the recent crisis;
eve believe that the greatest, though
unwilling enemies Of our national Sc
curity are those whose efforts create
the impression abroad that our people
are divided in their allegiance to their

Message TO Wilson
Following the reading of Mr.. Ham
mond's letter, Charles Lathrop Pack.
who acted as POSTMASTER. read tele-
gram addressed TO President Wilson;
The message, as unanimously adopted
BY those present, read:
I'VE call upon all true citizens of
The nation to reafTirm in no uncertain
voice their loyalty and their unshaka-
bic determination to stand by the gov
eminent in the present crisis"
Mr.. Ridder said that during the past
few weeks fifteen million people in this
country had come forward and renewed
their loyalty to the United States.
''They have done this at untold sac
rifice.s he said at is a sacrifice upon
which the gods throw incense. and 1t
should be met with sympathy"

GEN. SCOTT TELLS
OF GUARD AILURE
Training Only Defence for
u. S. Lesson Taught on
Border, He Says

Major General Hugh L. Scott, Chief
of staff of the United States army, OK
pounded last night the military lesson
the country has received on the Mexl'
can border in the last twelve months.
Speaking at the dinner Of the Society
Of the Cincinnati of the State or Ne"
York at the Waldorf-Astorla HOTEL nc
declared that universal military tram
ing and service was the only adequate
means of protection.
Tie United States army, ne declared,
was not strong enough 70 guard the
border; it was 1900 short OF ITS au-
thorized peace strength, and the thih
line could be pierced at almost any
point. Mexicans had boosted that they
could be in San Antonio in two weeks,
he said.
1t was not the fault of the army nor
lack of power on the part Of the gov
eminent, he pointed out; 1t was the
fault of a system which was wrong
from the start. The National Guard
units did good service, he said, but It
took all summer TO mobilize l0o,OOO
men.
What if these men had been called
upon to face a trained and disciplined
European force of 100000 menF" he
asked. and supplied his own answer:
"The flower of our youth would have
been messacred."
"If we analyze the messages Of
Washington and Lincoln" he said, I'VE
will be forced TO the following conclu-
sions:
THAT service in the army or navy Is
the duty of every ablebodied citizen
and not a matter of choice.
That the Constitution gives to Con-
gress the power to establish system
OF universal training and service, not
only in war but in peace.
"That the American army and navy
must both be under the control of the
Federal completely under
that control and not partly under the
control OF the states.

ALL HAIL TIE GNRDENET.

1t was noted last year that there
was more occupied area in Tulsa put
in cultivation than had ever been
before. This was partly the result
Of propaganda for hcauufyne the
city. more than for the practical
monetary good to bc obtained Prizes
were offered for the best gardens
and the most beautifully kept prem
ises. and the gospel OF city beautifica-
ton was taught I'm the schools. That
it bore excellent fruit is much TO the
credit of those who urged the propa-
randa. as we'll as to those who so
cheerfully carried It out. The city's
appearance was much improved. and
what is more to the point hundreds
OF young people gained health,
knowledge and Industrious habits i'm
the contest for the rewards. One Of
the best results, and one which can
be depended on to be lasting in it's
effects. the citizenship conceived re-
pugnance for vacant lots and back
yards grown up In weeds or filled
with chaotic refuse. II Is safe TO say
that never again will this city see the
time when a citizen OF the suburbs
can get lost DO almost iuponetrable
forests Of ragweed and cockleburr.
