By the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND. August 21.-Three
members of the crew Of the steam
ship Howard s. Gerken were believed
tonight to have been drowned when
the vessel sank miles off Erie, Pa,
early today after being battered in one
of the worst storms on Lake Erie in
years. The car ferry Maitland of
Ashtabula, Ohio, rescued Is men from
two lifeboats, set adrift when the
Gerken. went down. and a fireman,
Herman Waggeman, later was found
floating in mid-lake in an unconscious
condition by Coast Guard Cutter NO.

where the Is other survivors had re-
ceived treatment for minor injuries.
While the Maitland was taking off
the occupants Of the small boats at
the height of the storm. one OF them,
containing Waggeman and three com.

the rescuing craft.
Throughout the day the Coast
Guard crew and dozens of small craft
yentured on the calming waters of
the lake searching for the three men
still missing after Waggaman had
been found The discovery by the
steamer Uranus of the lifeboat, hoat-
ing upside down, apparently told the
fate Of the missing trio, and silence
from Canada rendered incredible the
slim hope that the men had been
washed, possibly alive. onto the
Canadian shore.
Those believed drowned are: George

Viking Discovery of America Made
Impressive in Details From
Two Great Sagas.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August Pillow the

foot on the new continent is freshly
nainted picture of American history
which an author will soon present.
Two sagas offer nearly all that his
rory knows of the Morse discovery OF
North America 500 years before Co

and the Saga of Thorf1nn karlsefni.
Imagination therefore has a place here
as a handmade TO history, asserts
Clara Sharpe Hough.
Conception of Landing.
She gives this conception of the
Morse landing for comparison with
the more familiar debarkation of Co
lumhus:
"At sunset the Grey Gull took her
way lightly through a surge Of break
ers to the sandy shore of an island
that lay bright with verdure and
fragrant after the cold smell of the
sea.
Now the Old light was back in Left

broad shoulders and the swing of his
step. Blood of his father and his

the camp fire department has pre-.
vented such a blaze several times in
the past.
here are brought annually officers
from the Army to perfect their edu-
cation IN military engineering. Not
only are the Regular United States
Army Engineer Officers trained here,
but each class has naval officers, Off
GERS from foreign governments, Off
GERS OF the Reserve Corps and Ma
tlonal Guard and the Citizens Military
Training Camp personnel. In the
present class at Humphreys will be
of1cerS from the armies Of Mexico,
Bolivia and Cuba. The United States
Board on Engineering Equipment also
is located here. 1t is the board charged
with the duty Of developing new
equipment for this branch Of the
service. and one Of its most important
and recent developments is that of a
powerful mobile searchleht which
promises to revolutionize surveying
anti-aircraft fighting.
School for Enlisted Men.
The Engineer School Detachment
also is here, composed of enlisted men
for surveying and drafting work and
lithographing. For them, there are
courses in trigonometry and mathe-
matlcs to fit them to handle these jobs,
and also there is a school for ltho-
graphing and map reproduction, as
well as machinists' courses.
The 18th Engineer Regiment is a
general service regiment and assists
IN handling the demonstrations given
for the benefit of those attending the
classes. and the 29th Engineer Regi-
ment, Typographical regiment, han
ding surveys and producing military
maps, one Of the functions charged
70 the engineering corps.
Altogether, there are about $50 off
GERS and men permanently attached
to the post. The engineering class
each year consists of from 25 to 80
regular officers of the Army, United
States naval officers and officers of
foreign governments. There is a spe-
ciai three-month course for National
Guard and reserve officers, and these
usually bring about 20 officers a year.
From ESQ to 300 National Guard and
reserve officers also are sent here
during the year for two weeks Of
training.
Lord Fairfax Home Included.
The camp also includes Belvoir
Point, formerly the home Of Lord
Fairfax, and it is interesting to note
that the Engineers of the Army are
receiving their training on substan
tally the site where George Wash
ington obtained much of learning
from the library of Lord Fairfax.
AS closely as it can be figured.
using troops for labor, it costs the
Government about $1,000 to renew
the underpinning under one building,
and, as this is continuous operation,
it might be figured that the cost of
the Government is heavy and much
more expensive in the long run. 1t
was pointed out, than would be the
cost of erecting permanent buildings.
And in this is not figured the amount
lost in the time of the troops for the
purpose for which they were enlisted,
to develop the finest standing army
in the world.
