taining a position about 400 yards to windward, the results were very satisfactory. I kept the engines turning over slowly all Sunday af- ternoon and until P. M. that evening. Frequent violent hai and snow squalls of hurricane force completely shut the Antinoe from view. Her warning lights were axtinguished and her radio became silent. Several hours later the weather again moderated. At .empts to communicate with her by wireless failed and as visibility in- creased it was apparent we had

 Monday I cruised back and forth in an effort to pick her up. Final ly, about l o'clock, we again sight ed her. The wind was now south west and moderating. We took a position this time 200 yards on her port beam and again pumped fuel oil overheard.
 The captain of the Antinoe then hoisted signals to the effect that he was ready to abandon the ship, but had no boats all having been swept away The boat was low cred with a long sea painter fore and one aft. Trapping lines were used around the boat falls to steady it while it was being lowered. The crew, with life jackets on, was pull ing away from the ship when a violent snow and hail squall struck us and kicked up heavy sea. The life boat climbed one of these heavy combers and almost stood on end The crew was tossed to the other end and then into the water, but fortunately the life boat was right side up. In about three minutes all hands managed to scramble aboard again.
 ordered the life boat back ano just as it was alongside, another heavy sea threw the entire crew into the water a second time. They were close to the ship, however and life lines and ladders were thrown to them to get aboard. Two men lost their grip on the life lines which undoubtedly were slippery because of the oil The master of arms, WirtaAen, seemed to have taken hold of a line on the stern of the boat and it appeared to me he was trying to drift the boat and steer it with his powerful body, to- ward the Antinoe. He got within fifty feet of the disabled ship and then left the boat to swim the short distance. But he missed the life line thrown to him and was carried away. That was the last seen of him.
 The other man, Boatswains Mate Heitmann probably was knocked unconscious against the side of the ship, and he disappeared. It was dark now, visibility was poor and the storm was increasing in inten- sity. We used the searchlight to see if we could find the lost men but we could get no trace of them We found the lifeboat and got di- rectly along side of it, but there was no trace of anyone in or near the boat. I continued the search for some time, but finally had to abandon it as it was hopeless. l maneuvered back again in view of the Antinoe, so as not to lose sight of her. She was laying dead in the water. Again we took posi- tion to the windward and once more pumped oil over the water.

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD A CAPITOL.

The advertisement for bids for construction of the Alaska capitol is the evidence that at last we the beginning of the end of the long fight for the building The first Alaska Territorial Leg isature asked for additional appropriation for a capitol Already there had been appropriated $20O- GOO for that purpose Finally in 1916 Delegate Wick ersham introduced a bill for additional ap- propriation. The item was included in the regular public buildings measure but this not pressed for passage because Congress into the prepared naval program. Another ten years slipped by. Delegate Sutherland favored building capitol with the remnant of the $20OOoO previously appropriated Then Congress appropriated $7500OO for the con- structon of the building, and we have now reached the point where bids are asked for doing the work.
 The bids will be opened July Is, and if every thing goes right the contract ought to be awarded shortly thereafter
 This is good for Juneau. It will mean first of all the expenditure of large of money here But more important it will mean adequate and dgnified housing for the Territorial Government and the Federal officials, and it will be an inter- esting addition to the scenic features of the City.

JOINING THE WORLD COURT.

Senator Hiram Johnson is out to defeat Presi- dent Hoover's desire that the United States join the World Court of. Nations He wants the Am erican people to retain" their independence, meaning something that is not clear.

 The enlightened thought of the country, be- neve is behind President Hoover in his contention that the United States ought to join the court and perform her proper part in world affairs.

Dawes in Dominica.
(New York World.)


 It was not difficult for the Dawes Commission in Dominica to point how deficit of $4,127,00O could be reduced $769O0O by cutting out projects not so definitely entered upon that dscontinuance would be wasteful It not difficult to point out how that deficit could be turned into surplus next year by wedding out superfuous Government clerks and economzing various Government ven- lures.
 The difficulty when the advice is to be followed, as President Vasquez says it will be. AS the Dawes report says, politics play large part in the employment of personnel for public works" Any Dominican President who undertakes reorganization for rerenchment and discipline for efficiency will earn for himself the complimentary enmty of the displaced and all their relatives and will create opportunity for a who may promise to take the easier way enduring deficits necessary evils.
 Nor entitled to sheer at Dominica for this in any hoer than-thou spirit. General Dawes reminds the Domnicans that politics played part in public employment before civil-service- reform rules introduced; he might have added that it still does in lessened degree-and that in New York City, the world metropolis, reorganization for economy and efficiency is sitll delayed year after year, by precisely the considerations mak ing for delay. that President Vasquez faces.

the great leader of their party, has unqualified endorsed it many times in the last three years The viewpoint of the world in the premises W rather neatly expressed recently by the Prin Rupert News which said:
 It will be great thing for the world if the United States decides to join the World Court, an outcome of the League of Nations It will be step toward break ing the political isolation of America from world affairs.
 It is now more apparent than ever be- fore that no nation live to itself. The buness of every other nation is to large extent the business of every individual na- tion. We saw that accentuated during the World War nation had to be for or against one or other of the combatants.
 Britain will welcome the United States to the World Court if she decides to be- come a participant and Canada, as part of the British Empire and prominent in the League of Nations, will add her welcome to a neighbor country.

 It isn't possible to imagine a modern girl skipping a new boy friend for kissing her, but it is pretty easy to believe she'd "cut" him later if he didn't. If love wasn't blind good many women would still be using Miss instead of Mrs. and good many men would be spending more money on themselves.
