She started forward at sight of 1t,

the paper as though he did not know

His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her.
"S:35 a. m, Manitowoc Wis.," she
read. "'The schooner Anna S. Solwerk

her own, can be plainly made out. 1t

no wireless, so is unable to report.

THAT could mean that they all are
saved or nearly all; doesn't it, Hen

He had read some other Significance
in 1t, she thought, or, from his greater
understanding of conditions in the
storm, he had been able to hold no
hope from what had been reported.
That was the only way SIZE could ex-

Rev. Henry Wing
 Tells Experiences
 With Gen. Grant

Personal experience and impressions of the great Lincoln were recounted by Rev. Henry E. Wing of Springfield in an address on Lincoln" given be- fore an interested group of Civil War Veterans in the First M. E. church last night. He spoke of the Presi- dents attempts to acquire the little niceties and conventional traits of so- ciety to which he was thoroughly un- accustomed.
 Rev. Wing told of bringing a note from General Grant to President Lin coin, and said, 'I will never forget the expression on his face when he read the note from Grant. All it said was ''WhateVer happens, there will be no turning back Yet what 1t meant to Lincoln can never be fully realized Six different generals had retreated from their positions in the field and now came one general who swore that no matter what happened he would hols, his own. In the face of dark defeats and blank discouragem this came as a ray of sunlight to the overburdened President"
 When Rev. MT. Wing first met the martyred President, he was a United States Senate reporter for the New York Tribune and it was through his work that their friendship grew.

The Captain said salvation is for the thief" Joe said, T am no thief, I am an honest man." Another night salvation is for the liar" Joe said that he was a truthful man and he couldn't touch him on that point.

From all OF which it is to be in

The congress bachelors admit the
old saying that wife can either
make or ruin a man, but, they ask,
why take chances? The bachelors
always feel they are in danger, how
ever, of becoming enmeshed. Mr..
Moores himself tells of a bachelor
colleague who, in order to be sure
of himself, took VOW each morn

tanglements during the day. One
morning he got up late and rushed
to his office without registering the
VOW. The oversight was fatal. Be

Gas. he declared. is not the in
human method of warfare that
it generally is believed TO be.
The general impression that the
use of gas was so inhumane, he
said. was caused by allied propa-
ganda because the Germans were
using it.
Admiral Sims defense Of gas
as a war arm came after a re-
view of the activities of the
American navy during the World

the importance of the airplane

Washington, D. c., June 13.-The
bachelors in congress-and there
are a score or more of them-were
warmly defended today by Repre-
sentative Merrill Moores of In
diana, who recently won renomina-
tion despite his state of single
blessedness. Mr. Moores declares
it is all wrong that man needs a
wife to make his way in Washing
ton. He pictures the bachelor as
the great champion and defender OF
woman's honor.
While not wishing to mention the
specific wife of any specific man,
Mr.. Moores nevertheless said he re-
called some instances where
mans wife had unmade his poilt-
ical career instead of helping him
to the heights.

abiding, and that .eyes accustomed
