of the city's street car lines.

the rottenness of the old company

by the bankruptcy OF the Washington

c. @ Lancaster said that stock

COLD LOST 119
YEARS SOUGHT
Search Will Be Made for
$5,OO0,00 by a Sub
marine.

New York. Aug. 5.-with the
waters of the Atlantic Ocean swash-
ing over his head. Simon Lake, sub
marine inventor, expects to excavate
the bottom of Long Island Sound,
off Port Morris, and try to salvage
S5,000,0OO gold bullion from the
treasure chests of the H. NJ. S. HUI
Ear. The treasure has nestled on
the bottom for 11s years.
The story of the Huzzar and its
buried gold is as romantic as any
sea yarn ever spun by Jules Verne
or Robert Louis Stevenson. It be-
gins at a date when pirates roved
the Atlantic. and promises to end
with submarine climax, The
British warship Huzzar. was launch
ed about the year 1860.
The last trip of the Huzzar was
when she started to the American
colonies in 1880. carrying a cargo
of golden wealth in her hold. In
making the waters of the harbor.
at a time when He'll Gate was not
adequately Charted, she struck a
rock and stove a hole in her bot
tom. She tried to make shore, but
didn't. and sank off Port Morris.
The treasure. which was to have
paid off the soldiers of the crown,
sank with her.
Thirty years ago a company was
on Staten Island to at
tempt the salvage of the Huzzar
gold. The most accomplished diver
of the day spent much time in the
water. He succeeded in bringing UP
a hard oak rib of the ship and a
few coins. and then was forced to
give up his efforts.

have played a w0naerTui role m nu- manizing that dark spot in the world. Our ideas, our educational resources, our material equipment, have been leaven in the Near East Because we have done well in times past we have this great opportunity for the present. The Armenians have been treated as perhaps no people in history have been treated because they are the spiritual brothers of western races.
 Will America help them? There can be but one answer. Their neces- sity Is dire, but our power is great. We are wealthy. We are member of the family of nations. Our brothers call us. Food, clothes, money, are im- mediately wanted. If ever unmerited suffering called for succor the plight of the Armenians should be needed now. A few months more and 1t may be relief will be too late for those myriads whom only we can save. We shall not fall them.

agricultural people, they have beeu exiles from their farms, deprived of all opportunity to support themselves. Year by year their sufferings have in- creased. Now, year after fighting has ceased, they are still living the life of nomads, able to continue to keep alive only by virtue of American philanthropy.
 These homeless people-"filthy infi- dels" to the Turk-were good enough to exert their poor might in our be- half while the war was still in the balance. Massacres of half century had not so broken their spirit that they dared not fight for right and for democracy when justice was the issue. We accepted their aid then. Surely we shall not pass them by without compassion now.
 The day has passed when any self respecting man dares permit absorp- tion in his own personal affairs to ex- clude consideration of his neighbor's well being. No honorable man can knowingly allow his neighbor to hun ger or to go unclothed. The Christian peoples of the Near East are our neighbors. The money needed to re- lieve them can be spared without causing any man, woman or child in the United States to suffer.

 If they were good enough to fight and die for us when we needed their help so sorely, they are good enough now to share some meager little crumbs from our plenty when they have nothing, when hundreds of thou sands of them are homeless, unclad foodless and threatened with extermi- natl by their enemies and our own. Not far from a million Christians have been murdered by their Turkish oppressors Hungry, terror stricken hundreds of thousands of refugees now look to the United States for sue cor.
 Have Trust in America.
 Fe cannot refuse. Next to thelI faith in God is their trust in the dis. interested good will and generosity of the American people. They look to us as the human agency to extricate them from the frightful situation in which they have been left as a conse- quence of the war.
