RAISING THE
SUNKEN SHIPS

London. Aug 6.-Not all the ships
which German torpedoes and marine
collisions send to the bottom Of the
sea stay there. In less than three
years more than 400 sunken mer-
chant vessels have been restored to
service And more than one ship
has been raised. repaired. sent forth
on a new career. and then sunk and
raised anew Tor a third lease on
life.
This rescue work is done by the
galvage section Of the British navy.
Before the war no one thought Of
attempting to save such wrecks as
are now brought up from the depths.
but ships now are priceless. The
financial value Of the salvage work
Is enormous. The cargoes salved are
themselves worth many millions Of
dollars
Recently a big American tanker
collided on a dark night in the En-
glish Channel with a sturdy British
standard ship carrying oil, There
was an explosion Of benzine. and
both vessels were quickly swept by
flames. OF the crew Of the British
ship only eight men. who jumped ov-
erboard, were saved.
Salvage work on both ships began
with the arrival Of tugs which. after
overcoming many difficulties, man
aged to tow them close in shore.
There Il was necessary TO sink them
by gunhre. They are now being
brought to the surface. a long. ardu-
Gus task.
The tanker, a fine vessel some 500
feet long and new built, had on
board 10000 tons Of oil. and though
she blazed for four days, half Of the
cargo was saved When thoroughly
the tanker will be returned
to the United States. not much worse
for wear, the damage being estimated
at s750,000-a small amount in ma

When the child awakened he told
his parents that he had been on a
trip to heaven. and that he had seen
his grandparents and great-grandpar-

great grandparents were dead before
the child was born, but he called
their naraes Familiarity, and told of
his conversation with them. He also
told his parents that certain son OF

COAL FAMINE IS RELIEVED BY
 THE LAT0UCHE
Steamer Arrived in Port Today with 784 Tons and Other Boats Will
 Follow Soon.

With but twenty tons of the reserve supply of coal on the old Pacific Coast Dock left this morning, the Latouche arrived on the channel this afternoon with 7S4 tons of Washing ton coal to relieve the shortage at Douglas and Treadwell and Juneau.
 Because of the need of the fuel at Douglas, the Latouche is unloading 112 tons of coal there before com ing to Juneau with 673 tons.
 "lt was only the mild weather we have been having for the past week that saved us," said R. R. Young, lgent for the Pacific Coast Coal Company, "and at that it was all we could do to make the coal we had ln hand last We are fixed for the Winter now, I believe. The Cordova will arrive a few days after Christ mas with the first shipment of Brit f sh Columbia coal we have had for months, and another boat will arrive here with British Columbia coal lbout a week later. These ship ments, however, will just be filling orders that have been in since last Summer With the later order we should have sufficient coal to insure us against any further danger of a coal famine"

himself with the forces opposed to the
appearance in New York of DR.. Karl
Muck, director of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, has been an active figure IN
patriotic movements since the beginning
of the war. He was one of the strongest
supporters of the allied cause, it is said,
between the outbreak of the war and
Americas entry into it, and was particu-
larly prominent in the movement of pro-
test against the Belgian deportations IN
the winter of 1916. He was an advocate
of CONSUMPTION long before that measure
was adopted. Since last December he
has been serving as voluntary chaplain
at Camp Upton. His term expired the
first week in March, but at the request of
Upton officers he is to continue at his
post in the cantonment.
DR.. Manning was born in England in
1866, but came to the United States when
a boy of ten, and is an American citizen.
In 1903 he came to New York as vicar
OF St. Agnes Chapel of Trinity Parish
in West Ninety-second Street. The fol-
lowing year he was elected assistant rec
tor, and upon the death of the Rev. DR..
Morgan Dix in 1908 he succeeded to the
rectorship of Trinity.

iislsc mat you cannot supply the place of
the framed farmer on the farm with the
clty-bred, inexperienced man. As I have
heretofore stated, I think nothing will con-
tribute more to the cause we are all 50
oeply interested in now as sending these
men back to the farm and permitting them
10 remain there until they shall make a
crop-produce the stuff necessary to clothe
ana feed the army which we now have and
the army yet to be organized. This seems
10 DC one of the most important questions
mat has engaged the attention of this bodv
Tor some time. The Congress cannot afford
to make mistake in a matter of such far
reaching and vital concern. If you want to
strengthen the army and support our allies
there must be food and clothing for all.
and we cannot have food and clothing 70,
all unless the man power is supplied to
produce it, Talk is cheap and verbal pa
trlotism is all right unless it should mis-
lead us into some serious error of omis-
sion. But if this war is to be won it is
TO be won by the combined use of bullets
and bread, clothing and courage, prudent
action and heroic determination.

chaotic, sometimes almost non-existent.
The company does not exaggerate when.
appealing for operators by placards in
the street cars, it assures young women
that work in the exchange is a genuine
patriotic service to ones country. The
streetcars, contrived with cruel in
genulty for close packing, are crowded
IN way that would do credit even to
New York's rush hour in the subway. The
express companies are distracted: goods
confided to them may be considered as
put in safe deposit rather than set in mo-
ton. The battle for food in the hotel
restaurants is bitter. The churches are
not absolutely congested yet, but they
admit to having been considerably "sped
up since the war began. Indeed, if proof
were needed of the extra works of right
eousness entailed by this new influx. it
need only be said that the usual vast, low
wooden tabernacle was put up by the rail-
way station, and Mr.. Billy Sunday tried

floating population" beside which the
famous 'floaters" of New York almost
sink into insignificance. Washington has
never been thought theatre town." But
this last winter, while the playhouses else
where have been sparsely patronized, those

profitably filled. The audiences are CO.'S

ever come when they "try it on the dog"

In other ways the capital has become

gan to tear up the streets-quite in the
