jWON FIERCE BATTLE
AGAINST THE SEA
Coast Guard Men Reached Old Freighter,
Fair Oaks, and Saved Her from
Shipwreck.

Orleans, Mass, Oct. l6-The old
freighter Fair Oaks, steamer of 10
years service in the coastwise trade, es-
capped the shipping grave of Cape Gods
sand bars to-day through the steamship
Of the Orleans coast guards. The Fair
Oaks, carrying cargo of plaster rock,
from Walton, N. s., for New York,
scraped over the outer bars north of
here in the fog last night and brought
up on the inner shoals with a Jar that
strained her seams. Heavy seas pounded
the vessel and caused Captain HAZEL
TO whistle for help for his ship and its
crew of % men
In the heavy fog, the coast guard pa
trolls found it difficult to locate the
whistling. The vessels position was ap-
proximated, however, and the surf boat
broken out. Three times the boat was
swamped in efforts to launch it from the
beach before Captain Bob" Pearce and
his seven men were able to get away.
They reached the Fair Oaks after hard
row and found the steamer with four
feet of water in her mold, pounding on
the bar, held fast by the weight of her
cargo.
Working through the night with the
men of the steamer the coast guards
jettisoned part ofe the plaster rock,
worked the spar around so she obtained
the impulse Of the rising tide and then,
guided by Captain Bob" the Fair Oaks
was urged under full head Of steam
through the net work of bars to an an
chorage beyond the line Of breakers. Her
captain said that notwithstanding the
water and a constant leak, he would at
tempt to proceed under his own steam.

West of General Denikines army are

of alleged atrocities perpetrated by the

Moscow. Reports have been received

army has joined Denikine, having been
assured that the latter will wrest east,

Washington, d. c., Oct. l6.-Debate on

day with leaders hopeful that final
vote on it would be had before adjourn

be close, supporters of the proposal gen.
orally conceded that it would be de-

At the outset of the debate, Senator
Kellogg, Republican, Minnesota, an
nounced his opposition to the amend
ment, declaring it would be inconsistent
for the United States to presume to
dictate in the far east now, after re-
naming silent while Germany and other
nations had seized territory there in
years past.
The Shantung settlement was con
demned as immoral by the Minnesota
senator. who said he would support a
reservation by which the United States
would decline to be party to the trans
action

The dead civilization of the ancient
world possessed some secrets which
modern maj has been slow in acquir-
ing. One dsthe most remarkable of
these extint civilizations was that of
the Minoar people in Crete, people
who possessed a knowledge of sani-
tation thatyas lost for nearly 40 cen
turtles and Who dressed and lived, in
numerous aspects, on plane equal
to that of oday.
In MODEM Man and His FOrerun-
ners," Fl. & i. Spurrell, the English
historian ad anthropologist, tells of

paratus fortlushing and traps for
examining GAINS testify to a knoWl-
edge of sanihry science that was soon
after lost al only fully recovered by
another ciIIization nearly 40 cen
turtles later.
The Helleic and Roman civiliza-
tons, which In due course grew up
after the MiHans had persisted, never
fully equaledthem in these respects.
Only within te last century has sani-
tation been ale to compare with that
known nearly 1000 years ago.
The ancientcapital of Crete had no
wall of fertilization. In this respect,
too, Knosses las modern in spirit.
Trusting throughout a long period Of
its history to the immunity OF isola-
ton and laterto an actual supremacy
at sea, the Mnoan capital, like Lon
don and Washington, preferred TO run
the risk of apture rather than TO
cramp it's life within walls. And, like
London and Washington, it was hred
by enemies and rebuilt with greater
splendor and With no serious inter-
ruption to its prosperity, until at last
it's own vitality was spent and there
could be no recovery from an attack
in which the enemy within the gates
combined with he old foe from the
north to wreck the Minoan state.
In dress the Cretans, their women
at any rate, were strikingly like mod
ern Europeans of no far past date.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth cen

North sea herring fisheries. Then the
herring veered back to Scotland's
coast and the islanders handed down
a tale of the impiety by which they
forfeited the boon. Yearly they would
form in procession to march about the
island to invoke the coming of the
fish. One spring, when they had gone
