eleventh man, the oldest in the heroic
little band which abandoned the four
masted schooner James E. Coburn of
New Bedford. Mass, on April 16, died
of the hardships.
j. Pere Ira, the captain of the
schooner, said that soon after the vessel
set out for Bermuda his pumps began
to falter. Slowly the water in the hold
gained on them, he said, until on April
II the pumps stopped entirely, and there
was nothing to do but abandon the
vessel.
The II men pulled away from The
sinking ship, taking food and water and
four Bibles. They were Pere Ira, Ed
ward Rice, the mate; Edward Milliken,
engineer; Joseph Madeira, supercargo
and part owner; William Sargent, cook

Delgardo. Manuel Silva, Henry Adams

For eight days the boat idled slowly

The food had lasted only five days
and the water six. About "a hours be :

Thursday morning at $40 o'clock the

hour later the men were picked up. Ira

was especially desircus that none of

their fleet and increase their burdens.

any point at issue between them and u.s.
We have all been sincerely striving to
work out a world policy. Each of

ciSive in any armed conflict.
u. S. Needs Navy.
"Our commerce and our commit
ments abroad are so large that they
need Navy for their protection without
much reference to the size of the navies
of other countries. The same rule ap-
plies to others.
THE hope of gaining absolute sscur-
ity through ornaments is another de-
fusion. No nation ever could say that
its army and navy make 1t perfectly
secure. There are too many other peo-
pie with armies and navies. More Sc
curity will be found in moderate force
which menaces nobody than in a great
force which menaces everybody.
IF the world wishes to be relieved OF
the crushing burden of taxes necessary
to maintain unproductive military
establishments, If it wishes more effec-
lively to cultivate the arts Of peace
under which there can be greater
social progress, it will insist on sum-
mary limitation of the present scale OF
ornaments.
THE world moves very slowly. 1t ac-
cepts new ideas very cautiously. While
there has been general agreement de-
clared and Endorsed by nearly ali ma
tons on the desirability and necessity
of this policy, 1t has been only PAR
TALLY adopted. If 1t is to make further
progress, we shall have to look for the
moving impulse outside of admiralties
and war offices.
Home Is Peace Factor.
"By its very nature the military
spirit demands constant expansion. The
problem has its technical aspects. on
which expert advice is necessary, but
in its essence it is a political problem
The movement for its further progress
must come from the home and the tax
payer. The business interests of the
various nations who do not wish to see
their earnings dissipated, the firesides
who do not wish to see their family
circles broken. must all cooperate in
this ideal. The progress already made
affords great encouragement, but the
work to be done affords an even greater
challenge"

PAPER PURCHASE
REASON EXPLAINED
Head of Power Company
Says Firm Sought Outlet
for NeWsprint.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 29,-Archibald r
Graustein, president of the Interna-
islative committee today that the COM
pany's purchase of stock In the Boston
Herald and Traveller was not for the
purpose of influencing the policy of the
newspapers, but to provide an outlet
for its product, news print.
Graustein, who had volunteered to
appear before the joint committe on
rules which is considering a resolve
calling for an investigation of the FIX
tent to which large power interests
have acquired control of Massachusetts,
public utilities, said he appeared to pre-
sent the facts of the company'S invest
ment in the Herald and Traveller and
not as an opponent or prepayment on
the resolve.
I'VE didn't buy the Herald and Trav-
eler," he said. 1--WE don't buy news
papers. We did buy an interest. We
didn't buy an interest to govern the
policy of the papers. We bought it for
newsprint reasons"
He then said that newsprint mills
were interested in hooking up" with
newspapers because for both sides
there is a real incentive to community
interest" Asked whether newspapers
were interested in making such an ar
rangement, he replied that it would in
sure that there would be no Interrupt
ton in their supply.
Graustein said that the International
Paper g. Power Co. held the majority
of the stock in the New England Power
Co. so that the company now stands
on two legs, one of the manufacture of
newsprint, the other the power side. "
He said that when he became president
of the International Paper Co. five years
ago the declining price of newsprint
made it necessary for the company to
modernize its plants and diversity
leading to the company's development
of hydro-electric power.

CHICAGOAN MURDERED
AFTER EARLIER ESCAPE

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 29-Enrico Arduini
had rendezvous with death. A pistol
of his head kept it for him yesterday.
Arduini knew it was coming. Five
hours before he was shot down he said
to Denny Tortorici his partner in the
ownership of South Side grill:
They're out to get me. A bunch OF
them tried it a few minutes ago, but /
got away. They'll try again"
Police say 1t is another killing in the
Sicilian liquor feud. A pistol, with one
shot fired, was found across the street
from the automobile in which Arduinis
body slumped over the wheel. In Chi
cago Sicilian killings the leaving of the
death weapon at the scene of the shoot
ing is an invariable gesture.

T AM often on guard over the Rus
Il slams. In the darkness one sees
their forms move like sick storks,
like great birds. They came close
up to the wire fence and lean their
faces against it; their fingers hook
round the mesh. Often many stand
side by side, and breathe the wind
that comes down from the moors
and the forest.
They rarely speak and then only
few words. They are more human
and more brotherly towards one an
other, it seems to me, than we are.
But perhaps that is merely because
they feel themselves to be more I'M
fortunate than we are. Anyway, the
war is over so far as they are con-
cerned. But TO wait for dysentery Is
not much of life either.
The Territorials in charge of them
say that they were much more lively
at first. They used to have intrigues
among themselves, as always hap
pens, and it would often come to
blows and knives. But now they are
quite apathetic and nstless.
They stand at the wire fence;
sometimes one goes away and then
another at once takes his place in
the line. Most of them are silent;
occasionally one begs a cigaret butt.

move in the wind. I know nothing
of them except that they are prison.
ers, and that is exactly what
troubles me.
Their life is obscure and guiltless;
If I could know more of them, what
their names are, how they live, what
they are waiting for, what are their
burdens, then my emotion would
have an object and might become
sympathy.
But as it is 1 perceive behind them
only the suffering of the creature,
the awful melancholy of life and
the pitilessness of men.
A word of command has made
these silent figures our enemies;
word of command might transform
them into our friends. At some table
a document is signed by some per-
sons whom none of us knows, and
then for years together that very
crime on which formerly the worlds

But who can draw such distinc-
ton when he looks at these quiet
men with their childlike faces and
apostles boards. Any non commits
stoned officer is more of an enemy
to a recuit, any school master to a
pupil than they are to us. And yet
We would shoot at them again and
and they at us if they were free.
I am frightened: I are think this
way no more. This way lies the
abyss. 1t is now the time; but
I will not lose these thoughts. I
will keep them, shut them away
until the war is ended. My heart
beats fast: This is the aim, the
great, sole aim, that have thought
OF in the trenches; that I have
looked for as the only possibility of
existence after this humiliation of
all human feeling; this is task
that will make life afterward worthy
of these hideous years.
take out my cigarets, break each
one in half and give them to the
Russians. They bow to me and then
they light the cigarets. Now red
points glow in ever face. They COM

were little windows in dark village
cottages saying that behind them
are rooms full of peace.

The days go by. On a foggy morn
ing another of the Russians is
is buried; almost every day one of
them dies. I am on guard during
the burial. The prisoners sing O.
chorale, they sing in parts, and it
sounds almost as if there we're no
voices, but an organ far away on
the moor.
The burial is over quickly.
In the evening they stand again
at the wire fence and the wind
comes down to them from the beech
woods. The stars are cold.
I now know a few of those who
speak little German. There is a
musician amongst them; he says he
used to be a violinist in Berlin.
When he hears that T can play the
piano he fetcheS his violin and plays.
The others sit down and lean their
backs against the fence. He stands
up and plays, sometimes he has that
absent expression which violinistS
get when they close their eyes; or

again he sways the instrument to
the rhythm and smiles across to me.
He plays mostly folk-songs and
the others hum with him. They are
l:@e a country of dark hills that
sing far down under the ground.
The sound Of the violin stands like
slender girl above it and is clear
and alone.
The voices cease and the violin
continues alone. In the night it is
so thin it sounds frozen; one must
stand close up; it would be much
better in a room; out here it makes
a man grow sad.
Because I already have had long
leave, I get none on Sundays. So
the last Sunday before I go back
to the front my father and eldest
sister come over to see me. All
day we sit in the Soldiers home.
Where else could we go, we don't
want to stay in the camp. About
midday we go for walk on the
moOrS.
The hours are torture; we do
not know what to talk about, SO we
speak of my mothers illness. 1t is
now definitely cancer; she is already
in the hospital and will / operated

will recover, but we never have
