masses of water below, Heralded by
the laundering roar of thousand
breakers combined, the dreaded tidal
wave was upon us at last. OF all the
horrors of this dreadful time, this
seemed the worst. Chained to the
spot, helpless to escape, with all the
preparations made which human skill
could suggest, we could but watch the
monster wave approach without the
sustaining help of action. That the
ship could ride through the masses of
water about to overwhelm us seemed
impossible. We could only grip the
lifeline and wait the coming catas-
tr0phe.
With a crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
a semi-solid mass of sand and water.
For a breathless eternity we were
submerged; then, grOaning in every
timber, the stanch old Wateree strug-
gled again to the surface, with her
gasping crew still cinging to the life
lines-some few seriously wounded,
| bruised, and battered; none killed
not even one missing A miracle it
seemed to us then, and as l look back
through the years it seems doubly
miraculous now.
Undoubtedly our safety was due to
the design of the ship which permit
ted the water to run off the deck
about as it would from a raft or float
ing plank.
Stranded High on Shore.
"The ship was swept on rapidly for
n time, but after a while the motion
ceased, and, lowering lantern over
the side, we found ourselves on shore,
hut where, we knew not. Smaller
waves washed about us for time,
but presently they ceased.
1.-THE morning sun broke on a seer q
of desolation seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high and dry in a
| little cove, or rather indentatiOn in
the coastllne We had been carried
some three miles up the coast and
nearly two miles inland. The wave
| had carried us over the sand dunes
bordering the ocean, across a valley
I and over the railroad track, leaving
us at the foot of the seacoast range
of the Andes. On the nearly per
pendicular front of the mountain our
navigator discovered the marks of the
tidal wave, and, by measurements
found it to have been AZ feet high. not
including the comb. Had the wave
carried us 200 feet further we would
inevitably have been dashed to pieces
against the momtainside."

Washington. July 6.-Anything that
will contribute to the cause Of inter-

il is not to be assumed that America

This, in a broad way, is the att

'ossion to the United States, which
rejected the League LARGELY because
Article 10 obligated this nation to go
to the rescue of any fellow-member of
the League which might be attacked
by an outside source.
1t is not agreed here that this
plan is practicable, but it is agreed
that it is highly interesting and that
j, might provide basis for future dis
armament negotiations. The United
States is profoundly interested in les
sening the burdens of military and
naval expenditures, not merely be-
cause Of the outlays in money, but
because standing armies and navies
promote war.
Nor is it agreed that the Monroe
Doctrine, which Sir Robert refers to
in connection with what America
might contribute to the regional pro-
gram, would apply as q protection
against possible aggressions against
nations on this side of the Atlantic.
rnis doctrine would protect any Ame-

ias never been invoked to prevent or
to discourage war between two Ameri-

Especial Correspondence,

that it may defeat passage Of the tar

In q long statement to republican
publishers and editors, the committee
declares there can be no such thing as
a non-partlscn tariff in this country
and then argue, that the tariff is linn
tied to two scho Is of thought, one of

be written merely for the purpose Of
providing revenue and the other of

viding revenue, the tariff should be
used as a medium for protecting

"Any sC-called non-partisan COM
mission would have to make a decis-
ion as TO which kind of tariff it was
going to write, tariff for revenue
only or q protective tariff" reads the

statement. "NO tariff commission can
be non-partiSan il must be wholly

with such broad response from per-
