Twenty Injured as Wind
Las'1es City With Rain:

The United States Shipping Board
liner Granite State, just in from San
Francisco, dragged both anchors yes
tcrday when she was strucl, by sew
entyfve-mile hurricane that broke
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and
drove broadside into the Jersey shore
narrowly missing crowded ferryboat
at Wcehawken.
Although a full crew aboard the
Granite State labored hard to get extra
anchors oversize, the big vessel crashed
into the West Shore Railroad ferry
structure and was pinned there by the
gale nearly an hour, while fifteen tugs
fought to get her off. After tug
masters of the Cornell Steamboat Com
pany and the New York Central Rail-
road got lines aboard the. ship, she
swung into midstream and was driven
by a sudden shift Of wind to the East
shore, narrowly escaping collision with
the Hudson River Day Line boat Hen
dirk Hudson, lying at her dock IN
Forty-tirst Street. When that danger
had been averted the Granite State
drove before the gale carrying tugs
with her and rammed Stakeboat 2, Of
the Cornell Steamship Company.
Woman Rescued by Tug
On board the stakeboat we're Captain
Charles Matthewson, Mrs. Matthews on
and their infant son, in addition to a
crew of five. Mrs. Matthewson and the
child we're taken off by a tug. Cap
tain Matthcwson remained aboard with
his crew and navigated the damaged
craft to a slip on the Jersey shore,
where she was said to be in danger Of
sinking.
More than an hour and half
elapsed before the wind subsided suf-
ticiently to permit passing lines enough
from swarming tugs to control the
Granite State. During the storm she
careened wildly hither and yon, rsgis-
tering three narrow escapes from COL
lision with ferries and other craft. In
the end she was towed to Thirtieth
Street and again dropped anchor in
Inidstream.
All but one Of the Weehawkcn ferry
slips were blocked for an hour by the
feet of tugs and network Of hawsers.
Only one Forty-second Street ferry
slip was open for traffic during the
rush hour last night, and much incon-
vcnicnce resulted.
Twenty on Injured List
Twenty persons we're injured ycster-
day in accidents due to high winds &C

reported to have been inflicted on

LONDON, March THE Free State
provisional government threw ten
companies of loyal troops to-day into
Limerick, where Republican army forces
yesterday defed the Free State author
tiles and seized the principal buildings
OF the town. The rebels extended their
operations by Communicating tech
nical school, three hotels and two hos
pitfalls. The Free State Cabinet feels
that unless the mutiny is put down
promptly the revolt may spread to
Cork and other nearby cities where op-
position to the Anglo-Irish treaty is
greatest. The ministers, however are
determined to avoid any bloodshed, as
civil war would almost inevitably re-
suit,
Renewed rioting in Belfast, brought
on by the killing Of several persons by
snipers, threatens TO bring military
rule there closer, but the difficulties
there are local, whereas in the South
the mutinies arc a national problem.
Both the peace of Ireland and the
treaty with England are mcnaced by
the disturbances.
Seek to Intimdate Rebels
The Irish Free State government re-
fused to issue any statement on the
Limerick situation, but unofficially it
vas said that matters were being kept
in hand and that no further difficulty
was anticipated. When the republican
and Free State troops faced each other
in Limerick there Was neither hostil-
ity nor determination, and it seemed
evident that the Free State authorities
we're trying to regain control OF the
situation by putting more loyal troops
in the city than there are rebels. 1t

A Prayer

Lord. not for light in darkness do we
pray,
Not that the veil be lifted from our
eyes,
Not that the slow ascension of our day
Be otherwise
Not for a clearer vision Of the things
Whereof the fashioning shall make US
great,
Not for remission Of the peril and
stings
OF time and fate.
Not for fuller knowledge Of the end
Whereto to travel. bruised yet una
fraid,
Not that the little healing that we lend
Shall be repaid.
Not these, o Lord. We would not
break the bars
Thy wisdom sets about us; we shall
climb
Unfettered TO the secrets of the stars
In thy good time.
We do not crave the high perception
swift
When to refrain were well and when
fulfill,
Nor yet the understanding strong to
sift
The good from i'll.
Not these, o Lord, for these thou hast
revealed.
We know the golden season when to
reap
The heavy fruited treasurSof the

The hour to sleep.

Thompson Post Replies to Patriots
Editorial on The Sacrifice Of
The Legion"

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Oscar Swsnson Post,
American Legion, Of Thompson, re-
plying To a recent editorial printed on
this page and entitled The Sacrifice
Of The Legion:
To the Editor, The Putnam Patriot,
Putnam. Conn.
Dear Editor.
4 few weeks back We read your
editorial, termed "Bucking the Bon
Us" many have read it and it would
be only just that you print this letter
in your next issue. that Thompson
citizens may know what the Legion
thinks about your predicament Of the
present administration and the Sol
diers' Bonus
II Is wrong 70 say that the country
will be made TO pay for political
bargain. II the Bonus Bill IA passed
Il is wrong TO say that the American
Legion leaders are holding President
Harding to his word. or that they are
trying to keep the ranks of the Lee
Rion within the Republican party.
The American Legion is for adjusted
compensation for veterans Of the
World War. and not for political
preferment. and il is wrong to try to
make the Legion appear in the light
as political organization
A recent act by National Command
er Hanford MacNider. has set a prece-
dent and over four million men under
stand and appreciate, because Mr..
MaeNider. entrusted with the highest
Office in the American Legion. with
out any indeeision, turned down the
offer Of lowa's Governor to appoint
ment as Senator from that state. This
should explain to some extent that the
American Legion is non-political from
its leader down.
We would want TO see this letter in
Fridays edition of The Patriot, and
we thank you.
Sincerely.
