A LUSITANIA SURVIVOR
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21:-It has
been said that if a man stands at
F~orty-second street and Broadway
he will see more interesting people
in a stated length of time than any
where else in the world. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, that The National
Press Club at Washington can run
a close second to and often exceed
that notable New York corner in the
number of curious and interesting
visitors.
Only yesterday Fred Gauntlet
was at the Press Club. Many people
know Mr.. Gauntlett-but not too
many. He is as interesting as al
most any private citizen for many
reasons, but, for two in particular
which are well worth mentioning.
Fred Gauntlet is one of the
comparatively few men who went
down on the Lusitania-and came
up again to tell the tale. Also he
is practically the only man in the
world who ever owned a modern
navy as his personal property.
Both stories deserve reciting.
Mr.. Gauntlet has for years been
Washington representative of the
Newport News S%hipbuilding and
Drydock Company. He is an expert
in all matters pertaining to ship
building and as the company with
which he is connected is engaged
chiefly in constructing warships, he
is especially an expert in men O.
val. When Germany was pressing
the Allies particularly hard. not
many months before the United
States entered the struggle. Great
Britain needed some special advice
in the matter of naval armament,
Mr.. Gauntlet, Mr.. Knox, president
of the New York Shipbuilding Com
pany, Mr.. Ferguson, president of the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company, and one or two
other experts were invited to go tc
London to discuss naval matters
They sailed on the Lusitania.
Mr.. Gauntlet says he was having
lunch about 2 o'clock in the after
| noon when there was a dull THUG
aft. He did not know what the
| cause was. 1t was so slight he
finished his lunch. In a few min
| utes he went on deck and noticed
some signs OF excitement among the
crew. Discovering that a torpedo
had hit the great liner. he tool
stock of the situation. Being an ole
| shipping man, he knew instinctivel,
what every aspect of such a situa'
ton would be. He realized that
the day being warm, every port wa!
open. He attempted to get thu
| stewards force to assist him il
closing them, but the hysteria wal
increasing momentarily and he was
unsuccessful.
Menace of Open Portfolios
Long afterwards, in relating thu
| tale he said it was obvious what wa'
about to happen. The Lusitanis
was a tall ship. She had three tiers

Bible Thought For Today

VALUE OF A GOOD NAME-A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than
silver and gold.-Proverbs 22: 4.

A LOST FRIEND

One commentator on the life of Northclife desires peo-
Die to note that the great journalist was a lover not of the
whole world, but of England alone. This is hardly fair
Judgment. A lover of England Northcliffe undoubtedly was.
But he loved his country well enough to want it to have
friends nor did America ever have a better or a truer friend
than Northclffe.
Putting England first, he did so intelligently. He was
no petty lover of isolation. Through his stand for England
he stood for all humanity, and all humanity is indebted to
him.

What S New
The Market
by Isex Stewart

No fresh fish was In evidence
IN markets this morning. The sal.
mon and halibut offered Is from
freezing plants and Is preferable
TO nothing. Prices are quoted al
20 cents pound on halibut and
salmon and Is cents on cod.
A small quantity Of spinach
greens IL offered this week at
VI pounds for quarter. This i'd
higher than formerly, but the sun
ply Is scarce and the distribution
limited. Turnips and parsnips are
selling SIX pounds for 25 cents,
carrots as low as ten pounds ut
the same price.
Due to tho fact that wheat
prices are expected to increase
because OF storage charges now
added by those who hold large
quantities, flour may take iump
IN price along the Pacific coast.
Egg and butter prices remained
firm yesterday, with prospect of
q decrease in the latter on the ar

violation Of the bill Of rights.

In a brief filed by the attorney

are attacking In an effort to save
Kirby from the death penalty inn
posed by the circuit court Of iJma-

murder Of Sheriff Til Taylor, Van
Wrinkle declares that:

upon It by the people"
The contention that the bill OF

T see you are the same gallant Billy as ever," said .Bettina, the bur 1 TO who was in the circus with Billy, when he suggested kissing her. And as she spoke, Billy jumped the fence, not taking the trouble to go over to the hole he had crawled through when he entered. The fence was too high for the Widow Brown to jump, so while Bet una and Billy were rubbing noses she quietly walked around to where they stood.
 Such baahing and hee-hawing as went on for the next half hour you never heard, as these friends talked over old times and also discussed at some length their plans for the fu- ture.

 Then Billy told her all about the kidnappers.
 'Kidnappers! Why. mercy, good ness me!' exlcaimed Bettina. How lucky I came just as I did. I have Just passed two Italian men in the meadow. They were both talking ands gesticulating. Being strangers to me, they excited my curiosity and l grazed along near them so I could hear what they said, for I felt they were up to mischief of some kind. They are the most disagreeable look Ing pair of tramps I have seen in a long while. They were talking about some goat that had gotten away from them and what a lot of money they would lose if they did not find him. But I thought it was some person they were talking because they were angry that he had escaped from Them. Had I known 1t was you, would have given them both a sly kick
 T know you would, Bettina, for you always stand up for friend" said Billy. About how far from here are they, and do you think they are headed for here?''
 Yes, I do, for one said to the other; If he is anywhere about, he'd naturally go to the nearest farmyard for company. We will go and look and if we don't find him, we can at least ask for something to eat and drink Gee, but I am so mad at that goat for escaping us that feel like punching the life out of him when we catch him'

 Yes, I do hear voices, and it is the voices of the men I saw in the meadow, said Bettina
