SCHOONER Being
TOWED TO BOSTON
Three Masted Lumberer Lincoln
Coming Into Port

Boston. Sept. II UP)-The
three masted lumber schooner Lin
coin, reported in distress following
a collision with the Boston colsver
Sewall's Point six miles south
southeast of Cape Cod last night. to-
day was en- route to Boston in tow.
Radio advices received at the
Charlestown navy yard this morning
stated that the coast guard cutter1
Burrows and Active had taken the
Lincoln in tow land it was pre-
sumed that the cutters were pro-
ceeding to Boston.
Indications were that none of the
Lincoln's crew had been injured
and that the schooner. while badly
damaged. was In no danger of sink
ing.
The collier. en- route from Balti-
more to Boston with a cargo Of coal,
was reported to have escaped SER
ious damage and its crew Of IS men
were all accounted for.
Immediately after the collision,
the cause Of which has not been
determined, 1t was feared that the
Lincoln. leaking badly. might 80
down. Subsequent investigation
showed that the schooner. while
seriously damaged. probably would
remain afoat.
Five coast guard boats and two
steamers answered the schooner
distress calls. The Burrows and Ac-
tive succeeded a few hours later In
getting lines aboard and took the
crippled craft In tow.

pact renouncing war was rejected BY

resolution was presented by Premier
Augustine Waldemaras OF Lithu-

Rejects Proposal
The assembly rejected the pro-
posal on tho grounds that the KEEL

empowered to discuss 1t at present.
Premier Waldemaras was author
lied to reintroduce his proposal At
the next assembly.
In an address couched In concilt-
atory and explanatory terms. Lord
Cushendun, acting foreign minister
of Great Britain, told Tho assembly
that the Kella0B pact was sure to
have importa1A II not spectacular
results. He said the new generation
would be reared with the idea that
war was a national disasted and that
ornaments were necessary only for
defense.
Those whose work had made the
Kellogg pact possible. were worthy
of being included among the histor'
ic benefactors Of humanity. in Lord
Cushendun's opinion.

Lord Cushendun emphasized tina
an agreement between two state

the third, four or fifth. Therefor
it might be necessary to modify pro
posals or, possibly. make 4 fresl
start. In this statement he wa
thought to be referring to the Fran
CO. British naval accord. He said
very measurable agreement ha'
been reached and 1t would be
great mistake for the world to a.
sumo that no progress had beel
