New YoRK, Fob. 8.
Shipping men here were glad to hear
that Capt. Peter Mclean of the tor
pcdoed Tuscania had been saved Tho
veteran Scotch skipper is known to
scores of shipping officials and officers
of boats docking at New York. He was
noted for his reticcncc in talking about
his war experience, for, while he gave
no interviews on such matters, il WAS
known that he had had several narrow
escapes from U-boats
Capt. Mclean brought the Tuscania
into this port from Glasgow on her
maiden trip in February, 1915. lie had
commanded her since that time. A
wiry sort OF man, md a sailor since
his hoyhood on the Isle of Null, he
was something of fatalist.
1t was recalled yesterday by ao-
quaintanccs that shortly before he left
this side on his last trip, he told some
conhdcnts that he believed he was
slated To receive some sort of decora-
ton from his government, and to one
of them he remarked: cts funny
thing, but the men they seem to deco
rate always seem TO hc torpcdocd soon
after This was true of the command
ers Of Anchor liners Wadsworth, Hen
derson, Bone, and others, who lost their
ships TO the U-hoats.
Passengers on the Tuscanla told upon
reaching New York of number OF es-
capcs the vessel had from submarines.
When the liner got in on March y, l9l7,
u number Of passengers said that on
Mlrch -, about ; IN the afternoon whe n
the Tusclnla was 300 miles of Fasne I

chased the liner for several hours. When

down to a matter of

that one has secured
the best furniture to be

It's wonderful to us,

The largest attend

ing. the most out
spoken expressions of
satisfaction, come from
the people who know
the value of dollars
and cents because they
have to, and the values
of furniture because
they must buy for
wears ahead.
If they did not come,
or if they came and
turned away, the larg-
est sales in the world
to other kinds of people
would not content us.
Although, to be sure,
if a person does not
know values in either
money or furniture,
but is trying to spend
the one and acquire the
other, this Sale is the
safest place for her or
him. We have no fur
