Starving Crew,
 New Born Babe And Ship, In Port

San Francisco, Aug. 21-A tale of the sea, a becalmed ship, a starving crew and a mother with new born babe, to preserve whose life, every one else sacrificed rations, thrilled the waterfront here today upon the arrival of the motorship Annie John son, with news of the San Francesca schooner William H. Smith
 The schooner was becalmed in the Pacific for 4 3 days and was discover ed on August IA, when Captain Mur- ray of the Johnson responded to her signals of distress and provided her with supplies.
 A pitable condition was found aboard the schooner. The crew of seven men had been Il days almost without food except the copra with which the schooner was loaded They were physically unable to hoist the emergency supply of rations over the ships side. In the cabin Mrs. Nels P. Jensen, wife of the master, was attempting to nurse her baby, whose cries rapidly were growing weaker. The mother although favored by captain and crew in the matter of available food, could not supply suf- ficicnt nouristment for the infant.
 For 116 days no word had been heard from the unfortunate vessel and she had been given up for lost With favorable winds, it is expected she would be in port before the end of the week.

 Tn greatest trouble is caused the Free Staters by small guerilla bands of 1rregulars who are conducting warfare such as was once popular in America when the whites were en- gagged against the Indians.

 Elected From Houses, They Occupy Tents
By WARREN w. WHEATON

By WARREN w. WHEATON
 Washington, Pa, Aug. 21- Because they have not acquir- ed the American habit of spending money freely, 6sO,OOO coal miners have been able to withstand the rigors of nearly five months idleness and face the future without tremor of wavering from wage demands which, ungranted, have kept the unionized coal fields of the country strike bound since April 1.
 This is the paramount reason the coal miners have been able to hold a solidified front, investigation dis closes.
 With close to 4,oo0 people in West ern Pennsylvania alone, housed un- der tents, in barns and in rudely con- structed shacks which offer little de- fiance to the elements. there. are many instances where the pinch of privation is being felt.
 Tent Colonies Grow.
 Each day that the strike continues the tent colonies, which dot hillside after hillside in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties, heart of the soft coal fields of southwestern Penn .sylvania, are being augmented.
 Not all the men have stood idly about the company store or the union hall Many. with meager savings, went to work in other industries, mothers have gone to nearby cities and worked.
 Many of the striking miners stand ahnnf nrQDertv ann3rQnt1v doing nothing but playing cards.
 One of the group of card players was asked: "How do you do it?" (Cont1nued on Page Twelve)

Who knows whether his condition is better, or worse? There are thinkers who maintain that the baby who dies young contains a soul nearly complete, and needing only a little more earth experience. Such a doctrine implies more than one visit to the world. It implies other things which Christians do not as a rule believe.
