CHEROKEE UNSAFE,
SAID McGOLDRICK

~~~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~~~~
After losing three sons in disasters
on the ocean, Captain Michael McGold-
rick last night gave vent to his feel
tngs. I'VE do not mind Offering our
sons" he declared, ''if they are to be
given a chance-given seaworthy
ship upon which to cross the ocean
but when our young Americans who
are trying their best to do their bit
ere placed on boats which have been
condemned long ago but which have
had their faults hidden by paint and
putty, it is time the government took
some drastic steps to see that our
boys are given a chance for their lives. y
shipping concerns" continued Cap
tain McGoldrick, thinking more of
the sparkling gold than Of the lives OF
American boys-are Offering to the
government old hulks which were dis
carded years ago as rotten and of no
use. at prices which are twice and some
times three times the original cost OF
the ship. Graft, too, Is at the bottom
OF this.
Captain McGoldrick declared that
conditions on the Cherokee were such
as those on board many other gov
ernment boats where "shocmakers'
and ''tailors' have been placed in au-
thority over men who have followed
the sea all their lives and are born
mariners. Captain McGoldrick stated
that when the Cherokee made its trip
from Philadelphia to Newport and
New London, his son had had to take
the wheel in order to safely navigate
the waters, which he alone was IA
miliar with. Il don't blame the
young fellows who are placed in
charge of these boats with but little
actual experience, but I do blame the
officials who put them In their posi-
tions."
Captain McGoldrick and Ensign
John McGoldrick returned last night
after being at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard all day trying to learn more Of
the details OF the disaster. Four more
bodies were picked up of Cape May
yesterday, but that of the local sailor
was not among them.
Mrs. Joseph McGoldrick, wife of the
lost ensign, who was formerly Miss
Martha Siebert. and had been married
only two weeks before her husband
left on the ill-fated trip, is now with
her husbands family in this city.

SHOWS SPIRIT OF ALLIES
istter From French Girl to Red Cross
gidga Worker oIves Vision Of the
War.

Chicago.-A letter from 4 sixteen
year-old French girl to Dr.. John Fin
ley Of this city, who is active In Red
Cross work, contains Q vision Of the
meaning Of the srest war. In part, she
says:
1T was almost q river. almost q
brook. called the User, and the birds
could fly over It with one sweep Of
their wings. And on the two banks
there were millions Of men, eye to eye.
But the distance which separated them
was greater than the stars In the sky |;
II was the distance which separates
from right and Justice.
"The ocean In SO vast that the sea
gulls do not dare to cross It. During
seven days and seven nights the great
steamships Of America, going at full
speed, drive through the deep waters
before the lighthouses of France come
into view; but from one side to the
other hearts are touching"

AAlo DEFENDS MARCH RETREAT.
Only % British Divisions Pitted
Against 81 Hurled at Them.

London. oct 81, via Montreal.
official report from Field Marshal
Haig. dated July 20, covering the op-
erations since the tirst week of Dccem-
Der last, has been published. It's CHIEF
interest lies in the field marshars ac-
count OF the German offensive OF
March 81. He begins by emphasizing
the difficulties created by the transit
ton from an offensive to a defensive
policy necessitatcd by the collapse OF
Russia These were accentuated by the
reorganization OF the British divisions
from u thirteen battalion to u ten bat
talon basis and by the extension OF
the British front.
Meanwhile the large reserves which
the enemy was able to create by trans
ferring numerous divisions from the
eastern front enabled him to carry out
extensive training with fresh units for
the offensive.
Altogether at least slxty-four Ger
man divisions participated In the oper-
at ions Of March 81. a rumher consid-
erably exceeding the total forces COM
posing the entire British army In
France. The total British force on the
original battle front on the morning or
March 81 was twenty -nine infantry d.
visions, three cavalry divisions. OF
which nineteen infantry divisions were
in line.
The Germans, however. failed to di-
vide the British and French armies as
they hoped to do and a continuous
defensive line was maintained, altho
it was necessary to give up great
deal Of ground. mainly the territory
despoiled by the Germans in their re-
treat Of 1917, and which was not STRAIT
ericaIly vital to the allies. In retiring
