n Srishing at Ssa
Abanddnsd BY Native BRIG

London, Sept. 27.--"Bsaow US were
sharks; nsait the land crocodilss
Would we fpat near enough to-
ground our inverted top hamper and
signal some one ashore, or risk swim
ming for it :. Then our hopes were
shattered, for an undercurrent caught
our submerged planes and fuselage,
and faster than we could near the
land, we were pulled away from it.
Quickly it faded and our hopes sand
We were utterly helpless and at
the mercy of the wind and tide"
The above sentences are taken
from the long and thrilling narra-
tive which records the terrible ex-
periences of Captain Norman Mac
MILAN and Captain Maillins while
afioat for 60 hours on a wrecked sea-
plane in the Bay of Bengal. They
were engaged in round-the-world
flight organized by the Daily News.
Suddenly We noticed an alteration
in the trim of our craft" continues
the narrative. Round and round we
plunged, water pouring over us, hang
ing on tooth and nail, and soaked by
the repeated wash that broke COM
-pletely over US. Evidently we were
in tide whirl"
Perhaps the most impressive thing
in the. story Is Captain MacMillan's
account of their abandonment by a
native brig which passed near them
when they werc almost spent. Mail

The two aviators were rescued

Sodalia Dots

The entertainment given last Fri

The Menace of
Alien Population

TT TOIn Tie manufacturers RScOrQ)
General Grant, when at the height
of his power, said to members of his
family, more than 40 years ago, rs
his son Jesse Grant recently wrote the
Manufacturers Record, that he re-
gard as a grave danger the heavy in-
migration of foreigners into this
this country. And to that statement
he added that he feared the time
would come when the South, with its
Anglo o-Saxonism. could alone be de-
pended upon to save the nation from
ruin by the influence of an alien pop
ulation. If General Grant could have
lived to the present time the fear
which he felt 40 years ago would
have been intensified many times.
The figures as to the number of
foreigners or those of immediate for
eign stock living in the United States
are startlingly significant. New
England, once the home Of rock-rib
bed Americanism, has ceased, so far
as population is concerned, to be truly
preventative of America Over so
per cent of its population is of fo~-
eign stock.
Rhode Island leads all other states
with a foreign stock of 50 per cen !.
followed by Massachusetts with Sc
per cent, Connecticut and North Da-
kota with 65 per cent each, MINI, !
sofa Ga per cent, New York 62 prrl
cent Wiccopcip 20 p,r Govt ,rJ Mo-.
Jersey SO per cent.
New York City had at the census
OF 1920 total population of 5,62O,O0D
Of this number 4,294,Q 900, or over
three-quarters Of it spopuIation, are cf
foreign stock. Chicago, out OF a total
population of 100000, had ,941. 200.
or 72 per cent Of foreign stock. Thes
two cities are but typical of many oth-
ers. the detailed figures for which are
given elsewhere in this issue.
On the other hand the South has
been almost wholly free, as compared
with the rest of the country, in the
matter Of foreign stock The total fo :
the South, including Missouri, Okla

cent, against 1872 per cent in the rest
Of the country. AS Rhode Island lead
the nation, with 50 per cent of for
eign stock, North Carolina leads the
nation at the other end Of the line
with only seven tenths of one per cen5
of foreign stock. North Carolina is
one of the most prosperous states Of
the Union. 1t is developing, indus

ally, with amazing rapidity. 1t Is

THE TENDENCY TOWARD OUT-
 DOORS

The United States seem to be be- coming a nation of action rather than passive sportsmen, A few years age there was little talk of sports in general, The barber shop, the back room of the smoke shop, certain and other spots now alleged to be extinct talked baseball almost exclusively Occasionally a prize-fght or a tennis match was discussed by some ardent follower of the sport but usually 1t was baseball and the players of the game which occupied the idle hours of the takers.
 Today the same persons are talking about their golf game or some other sport in which they are able to take part as contenders. Baseball receives a passing glace or two and then the conversation switches around to what the individual did on the ninth hole, or the sixteenth, or the round He may have been "out" in fine shape and in. punk" There are a million and one things that he might have been, and they all have 10 be talked about. Scant patience does one who inter- rupts this lines of conversation en- counter, the subject is not changed for a moment.
 Golf, attributed to one of the most taciturn races, is furnishing the mat ter for the most discussion in the United States. It is also giving every one an opportunity for outdoor exer- else, real exercise, and it is making a better nation of us by virtue of this attribute.

THE METHODS OF STRIKERS

Peaceful persuasion is always pernnssnble but strikers or other per- sons have no right to intinidate by assault. nasty or vulgar language or by insulting women, the wives of men who want to work. Any man has the right to go to work and the striker has the right to stay away if he feels like it.
 So spoke Judge F. S Thomas in the U. S. Court in New Haven yesterday granting the injunction sought by the New Haven road which would re- strain the tactics alleged to be en- ployed by certain strikers in the car repair shops. Any interference, other than peaceful persuasion" with the running of the trains or with the men who wish to work is declared a con temptible disregard for public rights"
 Organized labor, as body, if the spokesnen are to be believed. does not encourage violence in the conduct of strikes, if it does countenance picketing. The injunction, however, rules against picketing also, under the general assumption that the public has a right to expect that trains will be kept running and any individual, act ing to interfere with the schedules of trains, Is guilty of transgressing the rights of the public.
 There is no question of the right of men to quit work when they choose there is no question of the right of men to work when and where they choose, but Judge Thomas put his finger upon the vital point of the mat ter when he stated that no steps should be taken to interfere with the running of the trains as a matter of public concern. When an individual quits a job or takes a job is no con- cern to the public. It has little bear ing on public life. But when an in- dividual, or 2 Sras>~, attempt by

CUPID's COURT.

No little amusement, mixed with scepticism Is occasioned by the &C., counts of the actions of the Lovers Cooperative union in Hammonton, New Jersey The union is formed for the purpose of uniting single souls who have a longing for mates with certain characteristics and the Cupid's Court, organized for debating the merits and demerits of the appli- cants as it pairs them of, finally chooses the mates and assigns the pairing off of the entrants in the court. Yesterday four cases were set tied, today there will be more. One of the originators of the scheme chose an entrant from Kentucky for kimself-and won the assignment in the argument before the court. An ed to each other, a divorcee and an- other, coast guard man and anoth- tI u4NOlNVCs dllI d hNllIuCkY nlOun- tain belle to the courts sponsor. F Of course these decisions are not final, there must ensue a courtship of six months, during which time the couples brought together through the court will become accustomed to each other and plan their marriages. if marriages there are to be. Hammon- ton, we are told, has many who would venture from the paths of single solitude upon the seas of mar ried bliss Correspondents some of them from remote points have writ ten in to the union giving their ideas of what a perfect mate would be in the hopes, we suppose, that the court will he able to assign one who fits the qualifications,
 In this enlightened day and age nothing is impossible, who knows but that the court may function with success? It is able, at any rate, to choose mates who are temperament tally fitted to each other by carefully comparing the questionnaires submit ted and picking those who demand similar qualifications. By thus giving romance a start some real romances may develop.

RAILROAD STRIKES

According to feures furnished py Herald correspondent there have been 1,ooo strikes of labor pertaining to railroads during the past 70 years during which the workers have lost the majority of the arguments. Dur ing the period from 1881 to 1905 there were 5n6 strikes on railway matters. The percentage of successful strikes was 1868, those partially sue cessful lo.5s and 7b,7s per cent fail- ed The most successful strike, 1t is thought, was one that was never held, in 1915. At that time the brother hood officials caled a strike but Pres ident Wilson rushed the Adamson law through Congress and the strike was forestalled.
 In many of the strikes the priority issue has been more or less predomin- ant, although the roads have not for saken the issue and have stood by their guns as they are now doing.
 The history of strikes is more or less interesting to follow. in view of the present threat of general walk out. It is reasonable 10 assume that most of the affairs have been un- justified as they have been broken and neither labor nor capital may stand for long against the tide of pub lie sentiment, The passage of the Adamson law was necessitated by the condition of the country in 1916 and the call was never answered. Un- doubtedly public sentiment at the time was back of the workers if was felt that they were in the right and expediency aided in forcing a quick settlement.
 The condition of the sentiment to- day is beyond doubt the reverse of what it was in 1916, the public feels that the present strike is uniustifed and resents the attitude of the repair men now that the issue has boiled down to little but the matter of seniority, issueenough, however, when stubborness exists. Should a general strike be called to attempt to force an adjustment favorable to the unions public sentiment would become still more unframed, with the result that labor would eventually lose There would be time of great inconveni- ences and hardships before the fight was settled, though, as railway trans portation is still great need.
 The growth Of truck transportation is hardly keeping pace with the in- creased demand for freight haulers but there may come a time when autos will furnish our chilef method of car riage. for the shorter hauls at least.

WE BECOME RLASE

Somewhere between here and south America, probably still of the t. \ coast, there Is a large arplane ot the snying boat" type enroute to RIG yaneiro and there Is IS little public in- terest In 1t al there would have beer in an automobile trip across continent several years ago. So fast has the science of aviation developed that we accept such excursions these days as a matter of course.
 Piloting the plane is man who has occupied much space in the news papers He was the hero of an at tempt to cross the Atlantic tn an air plane but a short time ago. since the close of the war. At that time his adventures in a plane were the talk of the country The United States fleet was drawn up at intervals across the ocean to protect Lieutenant Hin- ton and his comrades should they fall in the water. It was the first tune that a trip across the Atlantic had been attempted. even though it was not to be a nonstop trip such as was later made. Newspapers made haste to keep interested readers informed of every available detail of the trip.
 A short time later the lieutenant became lost in the wilds of Canada. He again became the center of much publicity, not because of interest in the accomplishment that he had at tempted but because the accident that had befallen him on novel trip aroused the romantic instinct of the town man who must take his adven- lures second hand through reading of the experiences of others.
 Today there is being undertaken trip that, as far IS the elements and the geographical drawbacks are con- cerned, sis just as dangerous as the transatlantic flight. But so inured are we to flying that we glance at the headlines, small ones, and pass on to other matters We do not know. nor do we care, whether batleships are drawn up along the route or not. We are not concerned with the machinery of the plane. How many know what kind of motors are in the "boat9'' Yet we all knew of the Liberty motors in the N c 4 No, we are accustomed to marvels, something new and startling indeed must be produced to Jar us from our serenity.
 Possibly it is the strides that the art of aviation has made that is caus- ing the lack of extensive preparations for meeting possible acidents on the trip, aviation undoubtedly has pro- gressed Possibly the preparations have been made and we do not know of them, because a strengthening or ganization realizes that the stunt is of little interest to the base nation of Americans.
