SuFFRAGIsT MESSAGE
 ~rt TO STATE REPUBLICANS.
Miss Katherine Ludington Wants the Voters to Write Party Leaders.

,Suffragists are jubilant over the fact mittee and the republican national committee have endorsed the federal amendment for woman suffrage. Suf- ffage leaders foresee victory in the senate as a result of the decision reached by the members of the com mittee. Miss Katherine Ludington of Lyme, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, sent let ters. of congratuiation and thanks ot Homer S. Cummings, member from Connecticut of the democratic commit tee, and to John T. King, member of the republican committee from the state, expressing to them the thanks of the association for their support In a statement issued by Miss Ludington after the endorsement of the two par ties, she said:
 TO Connecticut Republicans:
 "The republican national committee, speaking in response to a great wave of public opinion, has unanimously en- dorsed the federal woman suffrage amendment. The executive committee of the democratic national committee has already taken similar action. The house of representatives of the United States has passed the measure by a tWo-thirds vote. To admit the women of the United States to full citizenship on equal terms with men, only the vote of the senate and ratification by two- thirds of the states is required. In the decision of the senate the votes of our two Connecticut senators, both of them republicans, will play an impor tant part
 Do Connecticut republicans wish their representatives in the senate to go on record as opposing the wishes of their party, the unQuestioned trend of public opinion and the great prin- ciple of democracy for which the world war is being fought?
 'Mr. Brandegee wants a mandate from the people on this question. Mir Mclean is earnestly seeking to know the wishes of his constituents The times demand that you should let them hear in no uncertain tones that the enlightened opinion of Connecticut vii heartily uphold them if they follow their party leaders and vote fur tht federM amendment Do es1is %by 3ette, ~ telegram at aaces

captain and most of the watch were
below so that the aviators weer not
seen for half an hour. The men
were too weak to stand up and sig
nal, but rose on their knees to do
so. Moore's hands were too swollen
to hold a handkerchief, but Stone,
who had kept his gloves on, was able
to do so. Finally the trawler three
lfe-preservers at the end of line,
but the Ulcers shouted that they
were too weak to catch them. The
tI-awler then lowered a boat.

GERS collapsed after they had been
given water and jam. They were
unable to swallow biscuit. They felt
no pain until their clothes were re-
moved, allowing the blood to flow in
to their swollen limbs. Moore lost
six toes from gangrene in the hos
pital; but Stone, as related above,
was fortunate in that his feet, while
turning black, did not decay. They
were taken to a hospital at Portland,
and after five weeks there were taken
to London. Stone left the hospital
at Norfolk last month.
Stone is we'll known in this city,

LIEUT.. T.STONE
VISITS SCRANTON
Hero of Thrilling Adventure
in Channel Spending Leave
With Relatives

Scranton Invalided for two
months to recuperate from the ef-
fects of mis- narrowing experience of
a few months ago, when, with a
companion he was adrift on Il
wrecked seaplane in the English
Channel for four days, Lieutenant
| e. A. Stone, of the naval aviation
corps, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
! Stone, formerly of this city. and un-
| til eleven years ago a resident of
/ Scranton himself, is visiting his
uncle, Bert Stone, of Clarks Sum-
NIT.
Unless granted an extension of his
leave, Lieutenant Stone will report
| hack for active service within a few
weeks. He was in an English hos
pital for ninety days following his
rescue. and upon his return in this
country spent some time in naval
hospitals in Brooklyn and Norfolk.
His feet, which were turned black
by exposure. after having completely
healed, became infected again, but
are now healing.
With the modesty characteristic
of most men who have a real story
to tell, Lieutenant Stone gives an
Egyptian mummy a close run for its
laurels when it comes to talking
about himself Il wish they'd let
me alone" he said Down at Nor
folk they made my life miserable"
Referring to an account of his ad-
venture in recent issue of wo-l
mans magazine, the young officer
said: sit wouldn't be half bad if they
had it in the Police Gazette. but in
The Ladies' Home Journaf-can
you beat it?'
Story Reads Like Fiction
Tho err nf tha nNnarinnCa Of
Lieutenant Stone and his companion.
Sub-Lieutenant Eric Moore, reads
like a most fascinating bit of fiction.
At that time he was an ensign in the
naval aviation section. having en-
tered the service at the declaration
of war. Previously he had been.
for two years, with the Queens, a
famous English regiment.
Leaving the Isle of Wight in his
seaplane, as pilot, with Moore as
observer, at 3 o'clock on the morning
on convoy patrol. Two hours out,
after having met the incoming con-
voy, the seaplane, sighting a sup
posed U-boat, started off in pursuit,
but lost it's course. The motor went
dead" and at 11.30 o'clock the
plane landed in a heavy sea. With
out a kite or radio aerial to call for
aid, the two men released two car
rier pigeons, the first only reaching
home, giving the location of the
plane, with the word, sinking" The
second bird lit on the machine and
would not move until Moore threw
the navigating clock at him.
The tail-planes were smashed by
the heavy seas, and the machine was
pulled down. by the rear, turning
over. Finally, the nose rose per-
pendicularly in the air. The two
men climbed up and over it, as the
plane capsized, at $50 o'clock. The
emergency ration had been in the
rear and the men had not thought of
it until too late. When Lieutenant
Stone endeavored to crawl out to
reach it, he only helped the plane
to list all the more.
With the two men on the same
pontoon, with nothing to cling tol
but one another to keep from being

washed overheard, the pontoon be-
gan to drift westward. Attacked
by thirst, which they could not
quench. the two endured untold
agony. They later suffered a crav-
ing for canned peaches. Lieutenant
Stones tongue became swollen and
he sucked pair of crap" dice
which he had in his pocket until his
pips disappeared. Two drizzles came
on, wetting the pontoons, but when
the men turning on their stomach,
Tapped up the moisture, the paint
came off with the salt, nauseating
them.
Numbed in all their limbs by eX-
posure TO the cold and the water
they We're unable to swim for bits
of wreckage that from time to time
f1oated by. Two full biscuit tins
along the men did haul it in only
to find that it contained tobacco.
Conveys were seen daily in the dis
tance and the two officers vainly
signaled with their handkerchiefs.
They had no lights to signal by night
finally their watches stopped, and
they lost all track of time.
Sighting a masthead light on Sum-
day night, the men yelled, and the
ship, evidently hearing began to
circle. When only hundred yards
away. with the crew plainly visible,
the ship, evidently mistaking the
craft for a subm4ine, turned away.
This fact afforded some relief, how
ever. for they thought the boat would
report and patrols would be sent out.
Even this failed. The following af-
ternoon a seaplane, from the east,
came overhead not more than 500
feet. AS the craft passed them they
decided that the observer was sig
mailing for help for them. The
plane passed. came back later, but
again went by.
Until this time the two had feared
to be rescued by a neutral ship and
interned. AS their spirits fell, the
dread of being taken by an enemy
U-boat turned to the hope that one
that anything might pick them
up Finally after they had been
adrift for eighty hours, trawler
was sighted She had just pursued
a submarine and was listening on
