War Prices Recognized

Wartime prices apply to broken legs
as we'll as everything else. in the opin-
ion Of Justice Cropsey, Of the Brook
lyn Supreme Court. AS result of the
judicial view, Salvatore Leccdito is
likely to get $4,000 to compensate him
for the leg he shattered on May IL,
while working for the Robins Dry
Dock Company. A jury in Justice
Cropsey's court yesterday awarded S5,-
600 to Leccidto, but the court set the
verdict aside.
81 don't like to interfere with the
verdicts of iuries," said the Justice
"but in this case the adequacy Of your
award is so evident that give YOU
ten days to increase it to $4,000
Otherwise, shall set the verdict aside
and order new trial. The increased
COST maintaining life must be con-
sidered by juries in such cases these
days."

Would Transfer Steamers
Hubert Wants Sound Vessels
to Use East River Piers

Dock Compissioner Murray Hubert,
in letter to Mayor Hylan yesterday
recommended the transfer of all Sound
steamers from piers On the North River
to the East River piers in order to pro-
vide accommodations needed bv the
deep draft vessels used in the govern
ment war service.
The Commissioner pointed out that
the transfer Of the steamers to the
vicinity of East Twenty third Street
would also remove "the opportunity for
designing passengers travelling on the
Sound steamers to and from points in
New England to view and even photo

Yard"

WAR STAMPS

"There can be no II pig
enough to excuse citizens from
pledging the purchase of War
Savings Stamps" declares State
Director d. S. Culver of the Min
nesota War Savings Committee In
a letter to County Chairmen. eff
Germany took this country and
the Kaiser exacted an indemnity
of, say, $1OO,O00,000 none of our
residents would be permitted to
say he would pay his share of this
tax provided business continued
good, or the crops turned out
well.
"War Savings Stamps are a
first class investment there is
none better. They pay the holder
4 per cent compound interest and
are backed by the unlimited re-
sources Of the United States gov
eminent. They can be cashed i'll
at par plus accrued interest at the
postoffice on ten days notice,
which makes them about the
same as Understanding currency.
What more could the investor
ask?
In the face of the expense the
government us mourning to win
the war, however, it would seem
to be anything but loyal for any
citizen to cash in his War Saw
ings Stamps before they mature.
"How much better are War
Savings Stamps which give the
purchaser his money back in less
than five years together with
liberal rate of interest, than
should he be obliged to pay on.

What U-BOat Victims Suffer in LifebOatS
Adrt Land Hundreds Ill
misunderstanding Equal Those Shpwrked Crews the Past

a vastly different one Hundreds of lives
are imperilled daily, and the sight of
stricken ship is now, unfortunately, a
warning to friendly craft, which generally
realize that their own safety lies in get
ting away from the vicinity with all prac-
tieable speed.
Lifeboat voyaging has, unhappily, in
creased in frequency, and while angry
seas and bitter weather have levied their
grim toll, it is nevertheless heartening to
recall how many of the small boats have
survived and carried their precious bur-
dens either to a haven or within reach of
some succoring craft.
In the last eighteen months, since the
U-boats have been operating well outside
the regular Gordon of vessels patrolling
about the British. Isles and the coast OF
France, scores and scores of ships have
been sent to the bottom and their people
set adrift upon the ocean. We can only
touch on n few of these eases, but they
will serve to show something of the
chances in favor OF our own people who
may be similarly eireumstanced, and n
lustrate what the sturdy seafarer, I'M
daunted by odds, can do.
In the case of the Alnwick Castle, tor
pedoed 800 miles from the Sicily Isles,
l39 of her crew and passengers were
crowded into six boats. One of these
covered about 200 miles in four days. and
when picked up was 16G miles off the
northern coast of Spain. They had hard
time, because it was case of fighting
rough seas and holding up into the wind
against the driving waves. BY means Of
oars tied together it was possible TO fash
ion a sea anchor, and this helped to hold
the captains boat in the teeth of the wind
with minimum of effort on the part of
those aboard. Luckily, the survivors of
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-11

vivors were hardly alive when picked up,
but responded to medical treatment.
Twenty-seven others Of the Columbian's
complement were more fortunate, for
though tossed about and much exhausted
they we're rescued after some fifty hours
in the open boats.
The schooner FL Dorado was abandoned
at sea on June IS, 1913, and her captain
and ten men managed TO make their way
in an open boat several hundred miles to
Easter Island, a Chilean possession, lying
about $500 mile west of South America.
Capt. E. P. Benson and three volunteers
then determined to get in touch with civ
ilization by way of Tahiti, because but
one vessel, a sailing craft, touched an
nually at Easter Island. On October Z,
having protisioned their little boat, those
courageous men set sail, and twenty-nine
days later reached Tahiti after having suf
fered from thirst and hunger.
The American schooner NJ. f. Eldridge.
when three days out from Tampa in May,
1917, was caught in hurricane, sprang
a leak and sank Her captain and nine
of the crew took to the lifeboat, and for
eighteen days ro~-ed and drifted about
until they were discovered by British
sailing vessel and carried to Havana.
They had no water at the start, and were
forced to subsist on a few cans of peaches
which were hastily thrown into the boat
when abandoning ship. Luckily the men
were able to catch shark by means of Il
stout rope and an improvised hook. They
drank its blood. Nevertheless, the captain
and one sailor died before help came.
The foregoing are few scattered in
stances of escapes made in small boats
from vessels lost through accident or
storm. Since the inauguration of unre-
strieted warfare by U-boats the story IS

''All right" said he again.
Mr.. Mulligan is a lawyer and before he
devoted his time exclusively TO war relief
work practised his profession in Hart
ford, Conn. He resides in Thompson
vile, Conn. He is a graduate of Yale
law school. Among the many strong
features that enter Mr. Mulligan's makeup
the predominating one is perhaps the
power of organization. His ability in this
direction has been proved by the accom-
plishments credited to him as result of
his tour abroad. In France it required
only sixty days for him to put the entire
X. of c. overseas organization In smooth
working order. Besides contracting for
a great number of X. Of C. huts he or
dered that there be constructed fifty bar
racks, and in addition purchased a great
quantity of tents which X. Of c. seere-
taries and their attaches will use when
they follow the order.
