ANTI.sUFFRAGE CANVASS TAKEN

Sir. As to the anti-suffrage can

Thompson in your paper IN "ni1n

canvass taken in the name OF lne
government. I wish to state llsn'
here that il was so taken at my hoine'
and affidavit will be made TO thls lact

that the poll WAS taken in the Mans
of the government, although It may

in this manner.
In a letter TO me, Mrs. Thompson

to canvass the State. no one questions

punishment" OF course. IL the anti

TEXT OF ENTENTE ALLIES
REPLY.

Washington. - The following is a
translation of the reply Of the Entente
Allies to President Wilson's recent
note to the belligerent nations, in
which the President suggested that
they state the objects for which they
were fighting:
The Allied Governments have re.
ceived the note which was delivered
70 them in the name of the Govern
ment of the United States on the nine.
teenth of December, 1916. They have

them both by the exact realization
which they have of the gravity Of the
hour and by the sincere friendship
which attaches them to the American
people.
In general way they wish to declare
that they pay tribute to the elevation
Of the sentiment with which the
American note is inspired and that
they associate themselves with all
their hopes with the project for the

CRUISER ASHORE;
! CREW RESCUED
The Milwaukee In Sand on
California Coast.
LIKELY TO Be A TOTAL LOSS
Naval officers Say II ls Hardly Pos
sIbie That the 100000 Yes
ool viii Ever Float
Again.

Eureka, Calm fight for their
lives against heavy sea, more than
400 United States sailors were brought
ashore in a breeches buoy from the
cruiser Milwaukee, which rolled and
tossed In the surf, with the possibility
OF being a total loss, on the Northern
California coast, where she struck
shore in a fog. Not life was lost
and but one man was hurt In the
rescue.
Breakers were spraying over the
warship's superstructure and the In.
cessant pounding Of the waves was
driving the vessel further ashore In
the sand. The Milwaukee's false bot
tom was flooded in an effort to anchor
her against the wash Of the sea. Naval
officers ashore said II was hardly pos
sible that the s4.00O,00O cruiser would
ever float again.
The Milwaukee is stuck on the
sand only a few hundred yards from
the submarine H-3, which grounded a

boldt Bay. The cruiser was attempt
ing to salvage the submersible at the
time OF the accident. Within 40 or 80
miles on this part Of the coast six
other vessels have struck shore during
the last few years and none of them
have been saved.
Four breeches buoys were swung to
the Milwaukee and the men were
brought ashore as fast as possible.
The lines had been attached to the
ships masts. With the roll OF the
vessel the trolleys would slacken and
then straighten out, dropping the
buoys, with their human burden, into
the breakers and alternately hosting
them into the air
The Milwaukee was under command
of Lieut.. W. +. Newton. She carried
about 13 commissioned officers, 10 war
rant officers and reduced compile
ment of between 400 and 500 men.
Seventy OF the crew were ashore when
the Milwaukee struck.
