 X VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
 The Hudson river along it's New York banks i5 to me one of the most fasci- hating and enthralling streams that fancy can comprehend. It possesses a rare magnetism, a potent power that is irresistible and l could spend every hour of the day upon it's ferryboats.
 Therefore 1 thoroughly delighted in the 10 minutes or less that 1t took to travel from Forty-second street 10 q wooden structure that had 'Weehaw- ken" painted across its top.
 Somehow | didn't want to see more of Weehawken, and 1 trust l am not doing that portion of the river bank that rejoices iii so unromantic name any injustice when I say that it looked chiet- ly like a station for siding cars.
 Anyhow, I stayed on my ferryboat and after the usual groaning and squeak;ng and bell ringing, we com menced OUT return journey. But, to my surprise, the vessel on which l had en- parked tfor cents) did not pursue the same course as it's outward bound voy- age. l found to my delight that we were proceeding along the broad bosom of the Hudson toward the harbor.
 AN UNEXPECTED LANDING
 We passed in stately review the noun. tain fastnesses of business that make New York surely one of the most amaz- ing cities in the world The Equitable building and the topmost tower of the Woolworth building fought out their duel of pride of place in the skyline Of the Maytime heavens, while Brooklyn bridge dlaped itself like a scarf of finest face across the silver sheen of the riValiS sl1plit S11rfapP
 Ear in the distance the Statue of Lib- erty stood like silver doll at the threshold of fairy-like gate of golden rays and blue distance. And then bump and a grind woke me up, and l found myself somewhere at the foot ot Courtland street, with an unknown dis tance to traverse back before I came into the radius of that familiar part ct the map that is "bounded by Fifth ave- nue, Broadway and the Thirties and For ties.
 Also I remembered when the elevated trains were laundering over my head that l had made this long trip into fairy land for cents
 All these wanderings of mine on ferry boats and trolley cars must sound singu- larly silly to the seasoned traveller who recks nothing of such ordinary work aday trips. But I assure you l had a lot of enjoyment out of that trip to Wee hawl1en that landed me unexpectedly somewhere down in the vicinity of the city hall

Act, It Is Reported.

By the Associated Press. -.,
MOSCOW, Friday. April Sit is re-
ported that the commissioners of the
Baltic fleet have decided to sell all
transports and auxiliary warships to
Russian firms or citizens, on condition
that the government retain control.
This means that their disposal to aliens
would not be permitted. This measure
was deemed necessary in view of the
German landing in Finland, which
creates a precarious situation.
Authentic information has been re-
ceived that the Germans hava-landed
$4,000 men from thirty warships and
transports. It apparently is considered
that Russia is not concerned. and this
action has not been protested thus far.
No Russian troops are participating
in the fighting in Finland, according to
