DOotViI, -aoSS., JUNE ..
After pounding through seas where

chants and Miners steamship Grecian
in command of Captain E. T. Page
of Philadelphia, arrived here this
morning with all on board reported

Captain Page told todav how he
picked up the launch containing Cap
tain Davis and ten mon of the Has.
kell when they were crawling toward
the New Jersey shore with only a
few drops Of gasoline left in the tank.
A rift in the early morning mist
made it possible for those on the
Grecian to catch sight of the signal
for help the men in the launch were
waving.
Soon after leaving port Captain
Page received radio warnings of the
proximity of enemy submarines and
took a course close to the coast so

the scene of disaster as possible
Saved by Wireless
1t is undoubtedly due to this wireless
warning that the ship and her company
owe their safety. The motor lifeboat
from the Haskell had covered a distance
of about fifty. miles when It was sighted
by the officers on watch aboard the
Grecian
The weather was calm and the sea
smooth. but there had been heavy
thunder shower during the night. and
the survivors in the launch were soaked
to the skin
The first thing that Captain Davis
a typical Yankee, and game to the core,
asked for from the Grecian was a sup
ply of gasoline to enable him to con-
tinue the trip to shore in the launch
When he was informed by the Gre
clans captain that there was no gaso-
line on the ship. Captain Davis asked
to be taken to the vicinity of New York
but upon being told the Grecian was
bound for another port or the Atlantic
coast. declared this would do just as
well.

to maintain the open road is m!itarily
sound. It is a principle of strategy not
to dissipate your energies, not to send
your forces upon minor objectives, but
to concentrate them where the war Is to
be won or lost, ignoring the petty an
noyances which, the enemy may inflict
upon you elsewhere
This is so good a rule that IL these
German raids fail to impair our lines
of communication, fail to sink trans
ports or food ships or supply ships on
this side and bag only coastwse craft.
and fail by doing this TO throw us into
a panic and make us forget what Mr..
Daniels decides is the main end to be
kept constantly in view. It is safe to
predict that Germany will soon give up
sending C-boats on the long voyage
across the sea. The game will not be
worth the candle.
II Is probable. however. that in this
case she will not stop until she has
made one more desperate effort to stir
