The Phantom Liner.

The fog lay deep on Georges Bank,
Rolling deep fold on fold
1t dripped and dripped from the
rigging dank,
And the day sank dark and cold.
The watch stood close by the Keeling
And listened into the gloom;
Was there sound save the Stating
And the creak of the swaying
boom?
Out Of the dark the great waves
crept
And shouldered darkly by,
Till over their tops a murmur crept
That was neither Of sea nor sky.
'Is it the churn of a steamers
screw?"
''Is it a wind that sighs?"
shiver ran through the listening
crew,
We looked in each others eyes.
No engines throbbed, no whistles
doomed
No foam curled from her prov,
But out of the mist a liner doomed
Ten fathom from our bow.
| Ten fathoms from our bow she grew,
| No man might speak or stir,
AS she leapt from the fog that slow
ly drew
| Like a shroud from over her.
We shut our teeth in grim despair,
|
Right through her as she struck US
fair
| I saw the lift of a swell
There was never a crash of splintered
plank,
| No rush of incoming tide,
There was never tear in the main
| sail dank
AS her hull went through our side.
! Unframed we drifted down the night,
| On into the fog she drave,
| And through her as she passed from
| sight
+ saw the light of a wave.
| Was it some ship long lost at sea,
| Whose wrath still sails the main ?
| Or the ghost of a wreck that is yet
| to be
In some wild hurricane?
! Was 1t a warning to fisher boats
OF what the fog may hold,
! AS over their decks it drips and floats
| And swathes in. it's singing fold?
I can not tell. I only know
| Our crew of eighteen men
/ Saw the gray form come, and saw it
| go
Into the fog again.

DO NOT FORGET.

New Britain will ss6s forget for
PINE time to come the fires of last
Wednesday night. Nor should New
ritain forget. There are too many
essons embodied in that series of
bnf1agrations to have the whole per-
brmance summarily dismissed from
hind. AS a man profits by his mis-
likes SO New Britain must profit by
bis disaster.
Previous to the fire of Wednesday
here had been agitation in certain
krcles for improvements in the place
hg of fire fighting paraphernelia.
HERE were those who clamored for a
Ire house in the first ward. There were
bose who desired a fire house in the
fxth ward. There were some who OBJ
|ected to the building of either Of
|uch structures until after the city
lad been properly provided with fire
lighting machines.
Five sets of fire fighting machinery

Wednesday night started These
i've different sets of pumps and hose

Fapidity of the fires. Certain it is that

coed on Errand Of Mercy

Washington, Feb. 28.-Germany has
refused to guarantee the safety of the
United States naval vessels Des Moines
and Caesar, which are now at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, If sent to Asia Minor
laden with supplies destined for the
destitute Syrians and Armenians. It
was expected that when they had per-
formed this mission Of mercy the war;
ships would bring out Of Turkey about
200 Americans now assembled at
Beirut.
A few days ago the United States
government informed the Turkish
in effect that It desired assurances
from Germany that the cruiser Des
Moines and the collier Caesar would
not be molested II they were au-
thor1zed to proceed to Janfa, where
they were to unload their relief sup
plies, then to Beirut, to take ON board
the American refugees. 1t was
learned from an unquestioned diplo-
matte authority last night that Ger
many had replied to the inquiries Of
the Turkish government asserting
that 1t could not guarantee the safety
of the Des Moines and Caesar from
either submarine attacks or from
mines. but that it had instructed its
submarine commanders not to attack
those vessels.
VIII Furnish No Pilots.
1t was also stated that Turkey
would not promise to furnish pilots
for the American naval vessels If they
entered Turkish waters. but would

and Plainville, New Britain today
might be mass Of charred ruins.
Before fire house is constructed
In the first ward or the sixth ward
there should be bought enough fire ap-
paratus to fill out the spaces now
vacant in the five fire houses. There
is room in each house for another ap-
paratus. BY shifting some Of the
engines and trucks and other vehicles
from one house to another a better
arrangement may be had. AS matters
are now there is a preponderance OF
pumps north of the railroad tracks.
There Is correspondingly too little Of
these things south of the tracks. In
fact, there is not one pump south OF
the tracks. In the event that long
freight train should block progress
at the very moment of a big fire there
is no telling what might happen.
Time is a factor in all fires No
better proof of this Is needed than
that furnished by the fires of Wednes-
H..
precious than gold. So that all Sec
tons of the city may: be equally pro-
tected from mans greatest enemy
there should be a different arrange
ment of fire apparatus. Yet this can
not come about until the city authorl-
ties have purchased two or three
greatly needed additional fire appara-
tus. The citizens of New Britain,
remembering the danger that en-
shrouded them last Wednesday night,
will welcome an expenditure That
means further protection. Judicious-
ly undertaken replacing OF engines
and hose wagons will give the city
much better protection and preclude
the possibility Of calling outside help.
Bv remembering the fires Of last week
New Britain cannot forget its fire
fighting needs.

deal with the situation as 1t might
exist after its waters had been en-
tered. The government has assur-
anoes from the Turkish foreign ONCE
and from the Sultan himself that the
Sublime Porte desires to maintain Its
present friendly relations with
America, but whether the Turkish
military authorities and the German
commanders in Turkey sympathize
with the attitude Of the Turkish civil
officials Is not known here. It is ap-.
pretended that there might be among
the Turkish military auth critics IN

barrassments il the opportunity
offered.
1t could not be learned last night
whether, in the absence Of definite as
surances from Germany that the Des
Moines and the Caesar would not be
attacked, those vessels would be au-
thorized to proceed on their long-fn-
terrupted mission. It Is believed that
the decision will be reached by
President Wilson himself in full APP
probation Of the dangers surrounding
a voyage through the Mediterranean
Sea of the American naval ships. It
Is not doubted that an attack upon
them or either Of them would con-
stitute, not AN overt act" but an act
Of war. That decision must be
made. however, is clear, unless the
administra ton elects to run no risks
at all and permits the two vessels to be
confined to the harbor OF Alexandria
or directs them to return to American
waters via the Suez Canal. and thence
eastward through the Pacific Ocean.

Washing lcn, April THE United

many.
The momentous declaration WHICH
passed the senate Wednesday and Tue
house Friday was signed by President
Wilson.
The president signed his name with
a pen handed to him by Mrs. wilson,
and which he will preserve.
Immediately afterward the president
signed a proclamation formally declar-
ing a state of war between the two ma
tions. The proclamation calls upon
American citizens to give support TO
all measures of the government.
With the signing of the declaration
all the naval militia and naval re-
serves of the nation were called to the
colors.
Later orders were issued modifying
the navy. including the regular estao-
lishment. The naval reserve, the ma
val militia and the newly organized

The signature to the war resolution
of the CHIEF executive constituted for
