those who assert that the dictator

that the promise was carried out as
honestly as might be in the teeth of
a vile established tradition, that the

she shot herself while standing in

IN STORMS

HALIFAX, n. S., Jan. 27.-
Wireless operators along the
Nova Scotia coast waited i'm vain
today for some word from the
German line Bremen, which was
last reported standing by the
sinking British freighter LaE.is-
/ tan in violent storm in mid
Atlantic.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27En-
coaraged by the rescue of six
men from the slowly sinking
British freighter Laristan, the
crew of the German liner Bremen
carried on stubborn battle today
against Father Neptune in his
fiercest mood.
The storm continued undated
as if determined to tighten its
claim upon the lives of the twenty
four men still remaining on the
ill-fated Laristan, which is found
ering near Halifax.
Two Seamen Drown
In another sea lane the United
states Liner President Roosevelt,
tossing on mountainous seas. is
straining every plate to keep in
sight the freighter Antinoe, whose
engine room filled with water and
was not expected to survive the
second night.
Two brave .seamen Of the Roose-
velt's crew have already given their
lives in attempting to reach the
drifting Antinoe and the latest wire

Fried, Of the liner, painted the fate
of the Antinoe in gloomy light.

to get line aboard. She unable to
show any light. Hope to keep her
in sight with searchlights.

Third Ship Missing
The third s. o. s. that arrested
the attention of radio listeners Mon
day night has not been traced
down.
The call of distress was partially
identified as having come from
the freighter Corvus somewhere in
the Caribbean Sea, but it was not
determined whether the Corvus had
sent the signal or merely relayed it,
The Corvus has not been heard
from since.
The plight of the ships, being
buffeted by a violent northwest
hurricane, is exceedingly perilous.
The Antinoe's life boats have all
been swept away, her radio has
been siIenced and her fire room and
engine room are Swamped.
The Laristan's engine room also
is believed to be filled since her
radio likewise has been silent since
the flashing of her distress signals.
Twelve great liners are fighting

Haunting. The drag dull things

should never smear ashes on hers.
Hot and sweet and tingliIfg, there
she stood making all life seem rosy
by the reflection of her own mac
cleaning. What was love but
something to feel her flame? What
was life but a GENE for her to

But what lay beyond the blazing
