We Always Make Mistakes

When you think back over

would not make again.
But have you realized how
many mistakes you avoided?
If you had your life to live
over again, it's probable that as
you neared the end of it, you
would find that the number Of
mistakes you had made totaled
just about the same as those
you might have made-and you
are still making mistakes.
You still make bad invest

vantage of opportunities.
Some mistakes have been so
decidedly foolish that you won
der how it was possible for you

The Human Side of the News
By EdUin C.. Hill

North Atlantic winter
weather is a wicked enemy of
sea-faring men. It's most savage
fury is vented on the service,
which long ago earned the right
to be called "The Good Sa-
maritan Of the Sea-" the United
States Coast Guard. When Bit
ter gales come whistling down
from the north, lashing the
ocean to 4O-foot waves; when
snow and sleet flies, and ice
chokes dangerous channels;
when few vessels move except
the great liners, then comes
the time of the Coast Guards
greatest activity.
Straight out into the snaps
ping jaws of the blizzard move
the stout little vessels, bound
on their errands of mercy, to
rescue lives in desperate peril.
Call of Distress
All up and down the Atlantic
coast, from Baltimore to Maine,
Coast Guard cutters have been
keeping the channels open in
every important harbor. And
almost every day one or more
of the ice-breakerS is suddenly
summoned to the rescue Of a
ship in distress. Such was the
call that came to the Coast
Guard Cutter Mendoza, just a
few days ago.
The steamship Maiden Cross
was snoring northWard through
a gale, when she sighted the
windjammer Purneu T. White, a
big lumber schooner from down
East. Terrifically hammered by
the storm, the schooner had
gone on her beam ends, snapped
off her masts like matches, and
lost her sails. She was in a bad
way. All this was radioed by
the Maiden Cross to the cutter
Mendoza, and when he got the
tale the Mendota's skipper,
Comdr. William Keester, stood
out through the lashing gale for
the Chesapeake Lightship.
From the northwest the wind
came with a battering drive.
dropping the temperature to
under zero, sheathing the Men
dota with ice. But, even so, she
found the derelict windjammer,
helpless and waterlogged, got a
line aboard her, and took her in
tow. Then through the wicked
night came a crimson flash from
the schooner's deck, and that
meant just one thing, the
schooner was sinking and there
was no time to lose. Yet, no
boat could possibly live in those
great, gray-green Swells.
Yet, something had to be
done, and through the bowling
of the storm came the shrilling
of the boSun's whistle, calling
all hands to quarters. Coast
GuardSmen thronged the fore
castle, ready for action with
heaving lines. life lines, life
buoys, life RATS, and a gun for
firing life lines. To within 80
feet of the slowly rolling
schooner, the Mendoza worked
through the storm and seas.
Over the schooner she shot
life line, followed by a three
inch hawser and a life raft.
A seaman from the schooner
slid down the hawser to the
raft and was hauled safely
aboard the cutter. Two more

tried it, a seaman, and the
Negro cook. But the savage
sea tore them from the raft
and the faint echo of their
feeble cries for help came back
to the men of the Mendoza.
Two more were saved, but the
mate, with frozen hands lost
his grip on a line, and was
gone in a breath, and Nichols,
the captain, missed his footing
and was smashed to death un-
der the keel of his own
schooner. That was all, three
saved, four dead, after a ter
rible 48 hours. Another chap

John Newton Jones, now Of

though he had seen them only
once, and then under circum-
stances which left no remem.
brance Of names or faces. But
thereby hangs the tale.
It was 4:3O on the after
noon Of February S, 1918, in
the cold and fog off the north
coast Of Ireland. The great
ship, carrying a human freight
Of 2,179 souls, cut through the
calm waters Of the Atlantic
at eXpreSs-train speed. "All
hands on deck!" came the or.
der, followed by the command
to don Ife-beltS.
Torpedoed
On sped the liner, the Tus-
cania, Of the Cunard fleet. Like
a frightened animal, she had
made that run across the broad
highway Of Neptune. Each NOR
tai aboard her knew that this
was a race against death and
destruction, and that victory be-
longed to the swift. A few hum
dred miles now and the race
would be won. But those last
few hundred were the long ones.
Six o'clock, in the dark of a
winters night, and the Tuscania
stops short in the mighty quiver
Of death. Without warning out
there in the dark, gunner on
Undersea Boat No. II Of the
Imperial German navy sends a
torpedo straight to the engine
room Of the Tuscania.
The first American transport
has been torpedoed!
In perfect discipline the men
obey. The minutes drag on into
an eternity before the first help
arrived. She draws close to the
TuScania, releases II lifeboatS
and speeds away lest the SUBJ
marine attack her. Other Eng.
lish destroyers came up, and Of
the 2,179 Americans 1854 were
saved and 225 persisted.
These 210 men, who met In
Kenosha Monday night, were on
the TuScania 16 years Sefore,
