QUEST FOR SUNKEN
TREASURE STARTED
BY new YORK BROKER
CBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-Bound on a
quest for more than a million dollars
in sunken treasure the steam trawler
Ripple was blowing south today, head
ed for Cape Charles, Va, and the sub
wreck of the Ward line steam
er Merida.
The little trawler's decks were lit
tered with equipment for the salvag-
ing operations when she sailed from
here late yesterday and her crew in.
Guided Frank Crilley,. one of the best
known of deep sea divers, and two as
sistants, George W. Mornistrom, chief
officer of the Merida when she went
down, also was aboard to aid in locat
ing the wreck.
The Marida was sunk in about sc
fathoms of water on May II, 1911, in
a collision with the steamship Admiral
Farragat. Her cargo included gold
and silver bullion valued at from ST.,
100000 to 100000 which she was
transporting from Havana to New
York
The Ripple's salvaging expedition is
the second undertaken. The first eff
fort was made in 1916, and was re
ported to have been financed by James
A. Stillman, banker, and Percy Rookie
Teller.
Converon D. West, broker, who
is one of the bankers of the present
expedition declared he believed the
Ripple had a good chance of recover
ing the treasure.
Its a gamble, of course he said
"but we believe the stake is we'll worth
gambling for"

HAVE CREED, YET KEEP
OPEN TO CONVICTION,
URGES DR.. BREADY

Correct and incorrect religious
creeds. and the proper ana improper
uses to which they can be put was
the theme of DIR. Russell II. Breaoy
lecture at the chautauqua WEDNESDAY
morning. Dr. Bready took TOR MS SUP
ject, ITO What Extent Does Chrlstian
Character Depend Upon correctness
of Belief?"
There is a great deal of nonsense
in what many people say In detense
of their creeds, and just as much non
sense in what many people say against
the creeds. Like any other GOOD
thing a creed can be misused, and
they have been fearfully misused.
Men have insisted that their creeds
are the final and complete statements
of truth; that any man would propose
an amendment is hereto.
"On the other hand the creeds nave
been a necessity to progress in rellg-
ious thought The intellectually and
the scholarship of the centuries has
been poured into the creeds. Men
have been made great in developing
their ability to defend their creeds.
Keep Mind Open
Let every man admit that he has
a creed, either written or unwritten,
and then keep his mind open to
conviction, let us welcome every pos
sible ray of light that may be turned
on, and when it is evident that any
idea or doctrine has been outgrown
let us be willing to drop it and move
on. Let US all do enough virile think
ing to have a creed we'll defined, and
let us always keep our opinions and
creeds out in the sunlight OF God,
which will keep us free from bigotry,
and inspire us with a desire to keep
in tune with the entire universe.
Dr. Bready referred to the oft
heard remark that it does not make
any difference what a man believes
if he is only sincere in it.
1.-The blacklist pages of history have
been written by those who have been
perfectly sincere in their belief" DR.
Bready said. They who lighted the
fires around the worlds martyrs have
thought that they were doing God $
will. Bloody wars have been carried
on in the name of religion by sincere
men.
Correctness of belief concerning
the 10 commandments, and honesty
and virtue and temperance is an alb
solute necessity for the real Christian
character No man will rise higher
than his belief concerning any of these
relations with God and man.
DR.. Bready will lecture on "Is
There a Difference Between Religion
and Morality" at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning Thursday night he viii
speak at o'clock on Square With
the World"

ALLEGATION" said the wordmonger'
lis a word that Is being given con-
siderable prominence, 1t became popu-
lar during the war in connection with
ships and loans. The ALLEGATION OF
shipping and the ALLEGATION OF loans
came to be current phrases. Not long
AGO the senate called on the President
for information as to how he had al
located certain funds. In recent
newspaper story about an operate
benefit In one Of the big cities the
newspapers said that the ALLEGATION OF
boxes is to be based on the size anu
date Of the contribution.
".Allocation' is SO closely allied TO
'allot., assign and 'apportion' that the
shipping and treasury authorities
might just as well have said the
.allotment Of ships and the 'apportion'
ment' of funds or loans. But WORDS
come into fashion and writer's ano
speakers fall Into or fall for the pre-

sons do for the prevailing colors IL

CHIEF EXECUTIVES AT PLAY
Occupants of the White House Have
Sought Recreation in All Forms
of Strenuousness.

It is said that President Harding Is
the best golfer who ever lived In the
White House. Though he only took
up the game three years ago, he can
get round the Chevy Chase course at
Washington in 95, bogey being II.
Mr.. Wilson, though at one time
very good walker, was never keen on
games, with the one exception OF lawn
tennis. He played a sound game OF
lawn tennis. He is a good mechanic
and has on occasion shown that he
could drive a locomotive.
The late Mr.. Roosevelt was by far
the most athletic man who ever sat IN
the presidential chair of the uniteo
States. Some of his feats were extra
ordinary. So lately as 1909 he rode
90 miles In IL hours over slushy VIZ
gilman roads. He never stopped any
where for more than ten minutes, ex-
cept once, at midday, for lunch and to
rest his horse.
He was q skillfuI boxer and tine
fencer. Some eighteen years ago ne
received a bad wound over the eye IN
O fencing bout. The button of his op
ponent's foil broke of.
big Bill" Taft, who was one OF tne
heaviest Of United States Presidents
took I'D boxing In order to get Mi
weight down, and was successful IL
reducing himself.
Fishing is a sport which many Pres
idents have enjoyed, among them Ben
tamin Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland. INT
latter was a really keen angler ant
used to visit Florida in winter In orde
TO enjoy the delights Of capturing INT
great "silver king" as the tarpon l
generally called.
