EIGHTEEN HOURS IN DANGER.

After a thrilling adventure in
floating for IS hours at sea on q
wrecked airplane two United States
navy avistop we're rescued by a
coastwise steamer So miles off Mi
ami, Fla. They were Ensign Az
thur Lawrence, aviator, and G. C.
Cotton, an observer. Their hydro
plane, threatened with sinking by a
leaking pontoon, had been bnffeted
by the sea out of commission and
they had neither food nor water,
Sharks added to their peril. The
engine breaking down had caused
the fall, yet in all this danger they
stuck to their air-and-sea craft.
When picked up they were near ex-
haustion. The ship not only rescued
the men, but brought their plane,
weighing more than 1000 pounds,
ashore.

COVE COMMENTS

An item recently puDllsneu III
the Seattle P.-I. appears to me to
be somewhat misleading, to-wit,
that Allan Benson, who two
years ago polled $4,000 votes for
president of the United States,
had recently resigned from the
Socialist party. Now the Social
lists as whole are like any other
party composed of various types,
from extreme radicals up to what
practically represents the present
liberal Democrats.
What Benson has repudiated
is the stand that the party as IA
whole took two years ago at the
St. Louis convention, which re
ally amounted to peaee-at-any-
price attitude.
The Appeal to Reason NOV
The New Appeal has, III common
with Benson and the majority of
leyel-headed Socialists, repudiat-
ed this tiabby peace policy, as
they recognize that this war has
to be a war of decision; that it
is a righteous war, and that the
very existence of Democracy and
of peace-loying peoples depends
on the crushing of the autocratic
powers. A peace on any other
basis would be merely an armed
truce and a greater misfortune
TO the world than anything that
has yet happened.
Benson, with others, having
resigned from the Socialist party
as represented by the st. Louis
brand, does not mean that they
are no longer Socialists, any more
than that a member resigning
from any particular Christian
denomination is no longer a
Christian. Therefore, the true
attitude of Benson and others is
to stand with and aid the pres
ent government in its prosecution
of the war to a successful con
clusion to the best of their abil-
ity.
Level-headed Socialists fully
recognize that all the ideals Of
Socialism cannot be brought to
fruition in moment. and can
not grow any faster than the
nation is capable of assimilating
the same, and are therefore sat
isfed in seeing the principles of
Public Ownership of Public it'll
tiles making satisfactory head
way.
Many are Socialists who have
never joined the party yes, and
there are many Socialists who are
not aware of the fact. being un.
der the impression that ali who
call themselves Socialists are
hair-brained irresponsibles of the
-Lenlne, Trotsky, Bolsheviki, or
|. w. w. stripe. And | venture
to predict that should President
Wilson run for a third term he
will have a great deal Of real So
cialistic support.
It's fine to see the nationwide
attitude against profteering.
But, according to an article in
the Literary Digest, the trouble
The Vashon Island record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1916-1919, 1918-08-01

is that no satisfactory method
has been found for determining
what is an excess profit. The
real cure is to eliminate profit al
together. Sounds drastic; but
when you consider that the real
value of any product is the cost
of production from the basic ma
terial up through labor, transpor-
tation and all the items that are
included i'll running expenses.
why should any arbitrary profit
be added to that? The same ar
tiele goes on to say about the
agricultural interests exercising
"A control over food commodities
with which Congress has not yet
shown the slightest desire to in
terfere. Do you know of any
agricultural interest that con
trolls the price of the food they
raiseY Do you know of any
such interest that, after figuring
the labor, cost value of plant,
etc, in the ordinary way, say,
well, these potatoes cost 81 a
bnshel, and we are entitled to %
cents profit; so the price TO the
buyer will be 1925. Maybe the
agricultural interests referred to
are those who fix the price for
the ultimate consumer; but they
are not agricultural by any
means. They are simply middle
men. If we could have the real
production cost of the food we
raise and the middlemen were
eliminated, we could be making
wages on the eight-hour basis,
and would be perfectly content
to get along without extra prof

IN rs ALL VERY WELL. But

1t is all very we'll to admonish those who
denounce the Germans for this CHASTITY war that
however intense our feeling may be against
them, it is far nobler, and far more the part of
the patriot, to remember constantly the high
purposes for which we entered the war, to re-
fuseto join in wild expressions Of bitterness and
hate and to keep our minds clean from those
base passions this war above all others has tend
ed to awaken. It is all very well, but we cannot
all control our feeling when we read Of all the
outrages they have perpetrated upon the inno-
cents, non-combatants; devastated countries too
weak to defend themselves. The Huns have
carried their brutality too far to ever be for
given and much less forgotten. And as con-
trary to Christian teaching as this may be, we
may as well say it as think it, for millions upon
millions think the same way and that is we hope
that the fire of hatred they have kindled in
every mans heart by their demoniacal treat
ment of the defenseless women and children,
shall never die. That is the acid and piercing
spirit that their inhuman treatment of the weak
have bred in the minds of all men with spark
of human feeling. 1t may be wrong to say it;
but that is the way we feel. So there.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE
 MAYOR
To the Citizens of Putnam

To the Citizens of Putnam:
 Because of ths increased risk of damage to expensive fire apparatus and the great need of it's being ready for instant use, feel the necessity of forbidding the further use of the citvs fire trucks for celebration pur- poses.
 I also wish sa warn that the condi- tion of our fire alarm system IS such that the excessive ringing of the bells may at any time cripple the system completely, and that the ringing of false alarms is unlawful and subject to heavy fine, which will be fully enforced.
 I am just as ready and willing to celebrate real victory over Germany as anyone, but in doing so we should not forget that we have lives and property of our own to protect, and that the apparatus of the Putnam fire department is for protection purposes only.
 respectfully request the assist ance of all in the protection of your own property.

The Italians of Putnam and sur rounding towns had celebration of their own. Tuesday e<ening, in ob- servanee of the recent and eontinu= ing Allied victories, and especially of the surrender of Austria, which frees Italy's soil of the foe
 The celebration was conceived and planned by Charles Bove. as loyal and true an American citizen as there is in this city. The celebration was or iginally planned on a much larger scale, but when Mir. Bove found there was some objection to 1t on account of the prevailing epidemic, he at once decided that there could be just as much enthusiasm even if the affair was carried out on a smaller scale, eliminating any possible danger.
 The parade was headed by the Webster band. and went over all the principal streets of the city Ameri- can, Italian and other Allied flags large and small, had prominent place. Ten or fifteen prettiiy decor ated automobiles carrying the Italian citizens, followed the band. There was much red fire burned. bombs were fired and bells rung, as the pro: cession moved from point to point.
 A large box was carried by mum. Der of young men. This was to rep. resent the kaiser's coffin. Later il was burned People all along the line of march were in receptive mood and cheered the procession The whole affair was well planned ano carried out by the enthusiastic par. ticipants.

 WHIPPLE'S AND L. A. PERRYS.

 and Leaves No Clues, Although Seen By Two People

An amateur burglar worked in the north School street and Mechanics street sections of the city for four hours early Wdenesday morning. got away with S20o worth of loot. ate beans at one place, milk at another, spoke to at least two people who had good view of him, and yet got away without leaving clue or anyone be- ing able 10 give the police a descrip- ton of him. The loss of property oc- cured at the home of Milo Warren. Mechanics street
 That the man was an amateur and possibly under the influence of liquor was evidenced by his actions and by his using matches to see by, stopping to eat, and remarks made to two wo- men who saw him
 So far as known, the burglar first appeared at the home of Fred Teift, Mechanics street This was about l o'clock Wednesday morning. Mir. Tefft is at the Day kimball hospital recovering from an operation for ap- pendicitis, and his housekeeper, Mrs. George Geer, was alone in the Tefft home.
 Mrs. Geer says that she heard a noise down stairs. She thought it was the eat, and for time paid no attention to it. The noise grew loud CT and she decided to investigate. She put on a wrap and went down. When she opened the door into the htcher she saw man there She put up hel hand as though pointing a pistol and 1 said, What are you doing in heref
 The man put his arm across his face and replied, You're here, are vou?" He did not, i'll true movie style, say. "Ha, ha, y'd foil me plans, me lady. would ye?" at the same time drawing a revolver about the size Of rapid fire Browning, but in the presence of the defenceless woman he beat it while the beating was good.
 Now a regular dyed-in-the-wool burglar, once seen, as was this anna teur craftsman, would have given up burgling, at least for the night and in the same section of the city. But our burglar, scared in the presence of a woman, was brave enough to continue trying to burgle right in the same neighborhood. This leads officials to believe that he might have been full
