DIAMOND SKOAL HAS
FINEST LICHTSHIP
Replaces One Destroyed By Ger
man Submarine During
World War.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 5-When tor
pedo from German submarine sank
the lightship that stood for years a.
a silent guard over the most treach-
erous shoals on the Atlantic coast, it
was declared a dastardly and unnac
essary act of warfare. The lives of
Ii men were menaced by the tor
pedo, but all of them escaped from
their sinking ship in lifeboats.
The destruction of the lightship
which was stationed at Diamond
Shoals, on the coast of North Caro-
lima, will prove of great bennett to
mariners. The manner of destroying
the old lightship will necessarily be
called a cowardly trick for all time
but in the place of the old vessel will
be craft said to be the best ship of
its kind in the world.
The new ship which has just taken
up her position at the outer edge of
the diamond-shaped shoals is the last
thing in lightships. 1t is equipped al
most like an ocean liner, so far as con-
veniences and equipment for commu-
nicating with other vessels and the
entire world are concerned.
The new ship will, like the old one,
be referred to by mariners as Dia-
mond Shoals light. Officially-that
is, in Government circles-she will be
known as Light Vessel No. 5.
The ship is just from the yard of
her builders, the Consolidated Ship
building Corporation of Morris
Heights, N. Y. She was given trial
along the coast, spent several days at
Baltimore and came to Norfolk for
fuel and supplies. Then she sailed for
Diamond Shoals and is now stationed
at that point in the Atlantic ocean.
The Diamond Shoals lightship is
equipped with probably the most pow
erful light of it's kind in the world
1t is visible under ordinary weather
conditions for Is miles.
The submarine bell will have a
sounding radius of 10 miles. This will
be used only in thick or foggy
weather.
One of the features of the ships
equipment is her radio signals, which
will have almost an unlimited radius.
The radio signals will be used twice
each day in fair weather and contin-
uously in stormy or foggy weather.
The ship is also equipped with wire
less receiving sets. A navy radio
operator will be stationed on the ship.
The radio equipment includes ampli-
fiers by means Of which the crew on
The lightship will get the benfit of the
radio concert service.
The destroyed ship was historic
vessel. 1t is said that warnings dis
played by her saved more than 1000
lives and prevented the destruction of
as many ships.
Captain Swanberg will command
the new lightship.
A bell will be tolled every afternoon
at $50, the hour at which the old
lightship was torpedoed, as tribute
TO the latter.

but this is not great. There are ru-
mors, however, that the eating of mil

Unfortunately the exact identity of
the mildew on American red clover
has not yet been determined. When
American seed is planted side by side

REILLY AND HIS AccUSERs

the dashing salt spray meant death
to the fifty adults and three chill
dren. and ordered their transfer to

installed in modern hospital. Mr.,
Reilly is the only Governor General
to visit the lepers.
"Threw 500 useless job holders out
Of office"
Here is bill of particulars which
Governor Mont Reilly of Porto Rico
announces on arrival in this country
that he is to lay before President
Harding. He isn't the celebrated
Mister Reilly they spoke of so high
ly. On the contrary he has been
cXcoriated by certain of the Porto
Ricans since the day he assumed the
Sovcrnorship. Right now BOSS"
Barcelo. president of the Porto Rican
senate and leader of the Unionists,
is in Washington seeking Reilys re-
moval.
There has been so much smoke in
connection with Reily's administra-
ton that many have concluded there
is fire enough to warrant relief and
the removal of Reilly. 1t is easy to
see, however, that if his claim to
have saved two and a half millions
on the island budget every year of
his administration be true he has
just naturally gotten in bad with
grafters. Furthermore it is general
ly understood that countries recently
under Spanish rule have pro-
nounced leniency toward if not lik-
ing for graft Cuba has it and Porto
Rico may have it.
Senior Barcelo, his opponent, de-
clares that if these claims be true the
guilty should be apprehendcd and in
dicted, otherwise Reilly be treated as
4 slanderer. 1t isn't so easily done as
said. this indicting and sentencing of
those guilty or would-be guilty of
graft, in this or in any other coun-
try. Our own experience with the
war profiteers serves to illustrate
this well established condition OF
things.
Porto Rico, Gov Reilly says, con-
tains million and half of people
in an area as large as Connecticut;
also high birth rate. 1t is our Gov
ernment's job to see that these peo-
pie are properly governed.

A Possibility
(ROstOn Herald

In the new Congress the Repub-
licans have the ma jority in the con-
gressional delegations of twenty
three states. The Democrats have
a majority in twenty states. The re-
naming five states are tied.
In the event OF our having a three
party presidential contest in 1924,
which seems not altogether improb-
able. and in consequence no candi-
date getting a majority Of the votes
in the electoral college. the decision
would go to the House of Represen-
tatives thus constituted for settle
ment. Then we should have a real
contest. 1t would have to choose
from the three highest candidates,
who would be the nominees OF the
three parties. If it did not choose
before March 4, the man whom the
Senate had selected for Vice Presi-
dent, from the two who received the
highest number of votes for that
office, would then become President.
In these circumstances we believe
the House would find some way of
exercising its prerogative and choos-
ing President. Either the Repub-
iicans would find some way to break
the tie in the two states necessary
to give them the majority, or the
Democrats would do the same thing
in the five states that would be
necessary for them.
The contingency is probably re-
mote. but it is Of some speculative
interest.

Ask Nations to Repent
For Part in War

Chicago, Dec. o1-Scoring what it
terms unjust accumulation and in
equitable distribution of huge plus
profits by financial corporations" and
the distribution of rewards of con-
quest in the form of governmental
monopolies." the board of bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal church. in a
statement issued here, calls upon ma
tons to individual and national re-
pentance for whatever share we may
have taken in the defense and sup
port of n-Christian programs of
power" The statement was adopted
by twenty-six bishops in conference.
America" the statement SAYS,
should unhesitatingly accept her full
responsibility for leadership in the
restoration of a broken world. She
should refuse 70 sanction any war
except for strictest self-defense of
humanity. She should continue to
advocate universal disarmament and
should not hesitate in asking that an
international conference be called for
this great purpose"
The growth of personal and or
ganized greed has limited and often
defeated" the ideals of Christian So
cicty, the statement continued. "The
first corrective of the, worlds woe is
sincere repentance. The second cor
receive is the organization of politi-
cal and social life everywhere upon
the basis Of the welfare of all.
I'VE deplore the unjust accumula-
ton and inequitable distribution Of

proves to be such as it would seem
reasonable to expect the need may be

Anyhow it has been clearly shown
that the uses to which the proceeds
CT this sale will be assigned are emil
