Naval Reservists
Are Rescued From
Stranded Liner
The Kershaw Goes Ashore
in Heavy Fog OFF
Long Island
Is Still Held Fast
Women and Children Passen-
gers Taken OFF by Govern
ment Patrol Vessels
Is Still Held Fast

EASTHAMPTON, Long Island, March
13.-The Merchants and Miners liner
Kershaw, with 1T Naval Reservists
aboard, as we'll as few other passen-
gers, struck a sandbar during heavy
fog last night and is still held fast. All
her passengers have been taken on
safely by members of the coast guard
and coast patrol.
Fortunately, the weather was calm
and practically no sea was running
when the accident occurred The ves-
sci was bound from Baltimore to Bos-
ton, and apparently lost her way IN the
fog
Reply to her signals of distress vas
almost immediate. The local coast
guard company saw her flares and
heard the below Of her siren. They at
once shot life lines across her bow and
stern, and then. discovering that she
was in no real danger, put off the work
Of rescuing the passengers until this
morning.
By the time dawn broke the Kershaw
was surrounded by five government pa
troll boats that had answered her sig-
nails and were standing by to aid her.
Shortly thereafter two wrecking steam
crs appeared and made ready to pull
the liner back into deep water.
1t was then discovered that the ship
had strained her plates badly when she
struck the bar, and all idea of pulling
her free this high tide was abandoned.
Her passengers, among them two wom-
en- and two children, were taken aboard
the patrol boats and put ashore. Most
of the naval reservists reached dry land
in the same way, although thirty of
them insisted on sailing shoreward via
the breeches buoy of the coast guard.
The Kershaw lies just inside the
outer bar, head on to the beach. Pumps
are now emptying her of water, after
which her leaks will be repaired, in
time, it is hoped, for her to be fioated
next high tide. The Kershaw displaces

Ship Grounds in He'll Gate

The Sound steamship Georgia, of the
Bay State Line, with 100 passengers
from Providence aboard, lost her pro-
peller and went aground while coming
through He'll Gate early yesterday
morning.
When the boat grounded in the haze
the sleeping passengers were aroused
and came on deck. Tugs and police
boats, which answered the Georgia's
siren, took off the passengers, and
brought them to Manhattan. The
Georgia was foated by tugs after an
hour, and brought to her pier here,
where she will be refitted with a pro-
peller.
The Georgia's captain said that his
ship had been caught in the congestion
of marine traffic and been forced on
the mud fiat. When an attempt was
made to back her the propeller broke.

with devils; towards; murderers and their kinds
is not to take their lives; but isolate them; make
it so that they are by themselves. Shun them
as you would leper, or skunk or hyena. =
To that end, Immediately at the conclusion
of hostility; congress should pass law prohibit
ing under the penalty Of death, any connection

otherwise, with those countries, and their peo-
pies. In addition that law should have q clause
permitting any and all Germans; German-Ameri.
cans and their descendants; Austrian; Austrian
Americans and their descendants in the United
States or dependencies, to leave the country if
they so desire; but warn them that if they
leave; it shall be never to return; and those who
shall remain shall have to become real Ameri-
cans. This should be followed by the erection
of a fence high enough to prevent any Of the
sons or daughters of those countries to ever en-
ter. Bar them forever after from any privileges
so generously shared with them but so unappre-
ciated. We are convinced that it is against their

these are mere suggestions, but a program along
that line carried out would help some.
