LIFE A LONELY ONl
Lighthouse Keepers Have Only
Sea for Company.
One Lived for Four Months in Lioht
house Far Out at Sea With Corpse
of Mate as Only Com
panon.

Washington.-The monotOny of the
life of lightkeeper is maddenng
Much might be written on the tragedy
of the service,-but the department of
lighthouses has forbidden it's en-
ployees TO speak of what goes on in the
solitary beacon houses along our
coast. 1t does not tend to popularize
the service, and so orders have been
given that no information of any kind
may be given out by the lighthouse
officials
Occasionally, as when a lightship is
broken from its moorings and driven to
sea in a frightful storm, the public be-
comes dimly aware of the danger in
Cured daily and nightly by the keepers
of the lights along the shores. Asked
once how they passed the time in their
lonely lighthouse, several miles from
shore. one of the lightkeepers an

Fishing is not an attractive form OF
recreation in bitter cold weather, so
the possible amusements are reduced
from two to one, and the most omnivor-
Gus reader must tire of reading some
times There then remains the depress-
ing survey of a seascape that is the
same yesterday, today, and forever.
Nothing quite so appalling is to be
found in the lighthouse annals as the
story of the lightkeeper who lived for
four months in the dreadful loneliness
of lighthouse far out to sea, with the
corpse of his mate as his only COM
panion.
The lighthouse keepers companion
died and there was no way of getting
the body of the dead man ashore Ter
rible and prolonged storms made it i'm
possible for the keeper to launch
boat. even had he been able to leave |
his light. Those ashore who would |
have relieved him in due time were i
unable to get to him for the same i
reason.
When at last the weather permitted
the rescuing party to reach the light I
house they found the corpse of the as
sistant to the lighthouse keeper dashed |
to the rail of the gallery. The man had
been dead for months and the solitary
had been forced to live in the /
Onely beacon house with the body OF
lis mate gradually crumbling before
lis eyes and his own superstitious
ears driving him to distraction.

Athens. whore the execution Of per.
sons responsible for the iasoo IN
Anatolia may preclpitate another
crisis on account OF the strong stand
which the British government IS
taking. Inasmuch as the Greel,
Z offensive in Anatolia was carried on
under British auspices. the execu-
tion OF the Greek officials connected
with the movement IS extremely OBJ
noxious TO the British government.
In. the meantime the prospects OF
peace at Lausanne are not pro-
NOTED by the revelations concerning
the Anatolian campaign and the in
sistence of tho Turks upon the re-
turn OF the Mosul oil fields, which
are now in British possession.
The Russian people are interested
in the adjustment OF the boundaries
of Turkey in the settlement Of the
Mosul question, and in the delimi-
tation OF Turkish occupancy of
Thrace. But the allies are appar-
emily determined to ignore Russla's
interests in these questions, while
turning over 10 a band of usurpsrs
the guardianship of Russia's rights
in the freedom OF the straits. This
course OF action is, of course, the
prelude to further trouble, and is
exactly the opposite OF what should
be done II the powers Of Europe
really desire a peace based upon
square dealing and friendly inter
course.
The United States, through the
Department Of State. has repeatedly
outlined what. in the opinion OF this
government, would conduce 10 peace
in dealing with the rights and inter
ests OF the Russian nation. The
course OF action suggested by the
United States is very simple. 1t
consists in the assumption OF a
moral trusteeship by the powers CON
cerned IN European settlements,
whereby these powers protect and
safeguard the interests OF Russia
pending the establishment OF re-
cognizod government OF Russia.
There is nothing to prevent the ma
tons represented at Lausanne from
protecting the rights OF Russia in the
straits, and all other settlements

son why the European powers are
