HARBOR TENDER BRAVES DANGER
 TO SAVE YOUTH

South Norwalk, Dec. 1o.-Rescued from Cockeno island. where he had stayed all Saturday night as a result #of his boat having filled with water during the gale on Saturday, Robert Rowen of this city, who had gone to the island that morning to shoot ducks, owes his life to the bravery Of Capt. R. G. Hendricks, government light tender, who in his frail boat yesterday morning set out Ito find him.
 A gale estimated at about 70 miles an hour was blowing at the time, but Capt Hendricks kept on and reached the island, where he thought the boy might be. He found Rowen half frozen in an old cellar on the island, the only shelter that the boy had had all night. They made their way back to the main land safely.
 This is the second time that Capt. Hendricks has rescued persons from that island this year, having taken three men from there last March.

 VERY LARGE VOTE

Petrograd, Sunday, Dec. iS.-The central election committee for the Constituent Assembly, which includes Minimalists and Constitutional Dem ocrats, has been arrested by the Bol- shevik Red guard. The members were taken to the Smolny institute, head quarters of the Bolsheviki.
 'fThe revo1utionists will organize a cabinet composed of reliable and competent men, We affirm solemnly that we will remain at the side of our old ally, England. and all the other Allies, and we engage to maintain all international obligations of the Por- tuguese nation."
 The repuhligan guard, the fiscal guard and part of the naval forces joined the revolutionists The battle ship Vasca de Cana and the destroyer Guadiana bombarded the positions of the revolutionists for two days with out effect.
 Returns from the elections in Mos COW show five Bolsheviki, four Con- stitutional Democrats and one Social Revolutionist elected to the Constitu- ent Assembly. Scattering returns from the provinces indicate the Bolsheviki will have the largest vote of any sin- gle faction, probably equalling that of all the others combined. The gar- risons were largely for the Bolsheviki, the Social Revolutionists carrying the cillages and Constitutional Democrats the towns.

NAVY READY AT BEGINNING"
 SAYS SECRETARY DANIELS IN HIS REPORT TO CONGRESS
Proposes Budget for Coming Year In Excess of Bill lion Dollars to Be Used For the Fighting Ships But He Does Not Give Details of Its Use

The Secretary discloses the fact that American coast patrol stations have been authorized and will be in opera ton next year, but gives no details.
 In conclusion, Mr Daniels pictures the possibility of an international navy to keep the world peace. Such an agreement cannot be cherished now, he says, that all the world is at war.
 But if this condition could not be reached in time of peace,'' he adds, may we not believe that it will be one of the compensations for the ter rible tragedy of warp
 Each naval power should assign units to the international force in pro- portion to its wealth and population the Secretary suggests, adding: | "To such a. police of the sea this country will be ready to make full contribution, and to that end the ex- panston that now crowds all the old and new shipbuilding resources will soon place this country in a position to furnish as many and as powerful ships as will come from any other country. It would be a lasting calam- ity, if, when this war ends, there should lingSr as 8. burden upon peo- ple,- already heavily taxed by war, a competitive program of costly naval construction. This country will, no doubt take it's proper place in bring ing about such provisions in the peace treaties as will never again constrain any nation to adapt its naval pro- gram of some other nation from which there is the compelling menace of pos sible and unprovoked attack. Such compulsion is the very negative of natural and orderly naval develop
 nent. It means the tyranny of 8 pro- gram dictated by apprehension rath- CT than the free choice of a standard suggested by national needs and sup- ported by national ideals. An interna
 tional navy, on the contrary, will make possible such naval development as each nation deems fitting fo rits own people. It will also serve the parliament of man. by providing a naval force ample enough to give val idity to international decrees and strong enough to keep inviolate the peace jof the world"
