CHASER aiiRif HAYS
Encounters Severe Storms, but
Reaches Port Safely.
American Built Boat Manned by
French Successfully Outrides
Mid-Atiantic Gale.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-An American
helpless in mid-ocean when her en-
gines became disabled in a terrific
gale, has reached the other side of the
Atlantic after being at the mercies OF
the seas 80 days. Secretary Daniels
has made this announcement.
The chaser had been turned yer to
the French government and was
manned by a French crew.
The safe navigation of the tiny craft
into port is officially recognized as
of the most remarkable naval
achievements of the war.
The feat was accomplished by rig,
ging up a sail from bed coverings. A
compass was the only navigating In
strument on board the vessel. The
commander Of the crew was forced to
estimate his positions. Shortage OF
rations aggravated the hardships be.
fore port was reached.
The chaser and other units Of the
convoy were overtaken by storm on
January Is. The little boat became
separated from her fleet as a result
OF her engines breaking down. A re
port that the chaser was miss
ing was the only word Of her re
ceivcd until now. Full credit was
given to the French crew, but the
fact that a 1l0-foot craft, helpless and
adrift. could successfully ride out q
terrific mid-Atlantic gale leaves moth
ing to be said in behalf OF the Amer
lean builders.

Real Purpo.e Of the state.

The ultimate purpose of the state
is not to rule men. to keep them in

each us far AS possible to live in Sc
curity. that Is. to preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or to his neighbor. No. l re-

transform reasonable beings into AMI

FAMINE FACES FRANCE!
SAVE WHEAT TO SEND
OVERSEAS TO ALLIES

"The Allies are still hungry
and if you can spare a little more
flour, for Gods sake send it"
was the plea made recently by a
British officer to an American
audience.
Who Of you, after hearing that
heart-breaking cry after realizing the
necessity which faces the brave ma
tons Of Europe. can help saving
wheat?
Two definite appeals to US are
voiced there.
One is to patriotism. the other to
common sense.
The Allies cause is our cause. Our
men are fighting shoulder to shoul-
der with their men. II food fails. the
fighters must fail. The war must be
lost to Liberty Even the most ignor-
ant among us knows what a German
victory would mean, especially to the
women and children of the land. Our
love OF country, our love OF our
homes, our every instinct of self
preservation must make us do every
thing. whether great or small toward
victory.
The other appeal is that OF human
ity. Who can refuse to deny himself
because Of his greediness, his love of
his own food habits, when that
thought-the thought OF the Allies
suffering-eomes to US?
Can any one with either sense or
sonsibility keep on eating wheat pro
ducts in the present need? Does II
not throw human weakness into an
ominous German shadow to insist up
on having food requiring white flour?
Won't you-all you red-blooded
willing American citizens let that
British officers cry for the Allies
sound in your ears: 'If you can
spare little more flour. for Gods
sake send it?''
