But the trouble Is that girls
realize too little the value Of their
own sweetness and purity, theiE
good name without a shadow or a
blemish on it. Only when all these
are gone do they know what they

good time" they start TO hirt, 10

Almost before they themselves real

Transport Disabled, 3
Sailors Lost Overheard
Ell Sol, Another Troopship, Re-
ports Scranton's Plight 900
Miles East of Hook

The transport FL Sol, formerly a
freighter of the Southern Pacific
Steamship Company, reported on ar
rival yesterday from Bordeaux that
three sailors Of the transport Scranton
were drowned at sea 900 miles east Of
Sandy Hook.
The Scranton's rudder was smashed
by heavy seas on March 27 and she was
unable to keep on her course. A wire
less call reached Ell Sol q few hours
after the accident and she went at
once to the Scranton's assistance. She
stayed by for forty hours and made
two fruitless efforts to take the Scran-
ton in tow, the hawsers parting on
each occasion.
While attempting to send out third
cable to Ell Sol the Scranton lowered
a boat over the starboard side. 1t had
hardly hit the water when it was swept
aft and was upset under the Scranton's
stern. Two of the sailors in the life
boat were drowned, but the others
clung to the upturned craft. A second
boat was put over to rescue the men
in the water and as the rescuers were
assisting the exhausted sailors to a
rope ladder thrown over the stern one
of the men fell into the sea and was
lost.
The Scranton's crew rugged up jury

put back toward New York.

Equip 100000 Men to

Poles of the United States, through
the Polish National Defence Com
mttee, cabled to President Wilson
urging that the United States imme-
diately open credit to Poland for the
purchase of war materials in France
to equip and send Polish army of
100000 men to Danzig to avert dis
aster." The message read:
"The Poles took a most active part
in the disntegration of the Central
Powers to achieve their own and other
subject peoples liberation, thereby
shortening the war. Poland must
succumb to new German imperialism
and its faithful ally, Russian Bolshe-
vism. unless immediate help is given.
"We request you to give credit to
Poland for the purchase of American
war materials in France to equip a
Polish army and hasten its departure
to Danzig. Delay will bring disaster
not only to Poland but to all Europe"
George Sosnowski said the cablegram
to President Wilson was prompted by
the receipt of livery disquieting news
from Poland and Russia. Germany is
to-day as imperialistic as she was
under the rule of Emperor William" d"
