able to obtain a tow because of a
tugmen's strike, Capt. E. ]. Bodenlos
of the collier Harry T. Ewig, a
freighter owned by the Wallet Camp
Steamship Co, yesterday defled Mil
waukee police, who attempted to ar

down the Milwaukee River into Lake
Michigan without the aid Of tugs, con-
tended he was on a navigable river
and was subject only to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States Government.
Fire Trucks Sent.
The Ewig, after moving perilously
down the channel for three blocks, at
tracted the attention Of city authori-
ties and Fire Department truck was
sent to throw a ladder against the
boat to enable police to get aboard
with the warrant.
When the fire truck arrived at the
rivers edge, the boat was moving far
enough from the shore to make it i'm
possible for the flremen to cast a
ladder across the gap.
Detective H. M. Burdick of the city
attorneys Office ordered Bodenlos to
move his boat upstream because it
was lying abreast of fire plug and
endangering the city's fire protection
The captain. standing amidships
arms folded. refused to move the boat
and laughed at efforts Of police to
arrest him.
Z Unable to Obtain Help.
1 Late yesterday afternoon Capt. Bo-
denlos offered to let police aboard il
they would leave the warrant ashore
The officers declined Meanwhile at
taches of the city attorneys office were
unable to get any help from the Fed
eral mrashal or the War Department
engineers office. The marshals Office
had no warrant for Bodenlos and the
engineers office reported no action
could be taken until it was established
that the Ewig was obstructing the
river channel.
Another boat, the Diamond Alkalai
cleared the port by backing down the
river before the city could act.

I took the liberty of inter-

I must confess that I could get
nothing from either one. Both

I quote Jake first: There is
really nothing in the story at

great friends. 1t is true that
we do not see each other as
much as we did, but what of
that? I am sure that I speak
for Admiral, as we'll as for my
self, when say that, should the
occasion arise for a joint effort
in behalf of some common cause,

extent of lending my name with

Admiral was perhaps more
personal: Jake iS-or was
too good q friend of mine for
me to imply that the reason for
our split-up was due to his in
sufferable curiosity. What are
you doing tonight?' Who was
that you were talking to?
Where did you get that fish?
I simply couldn't stand it, that's
all! But please do not print
anything that would hurt Jake.

Listen, World!

One believes what one chooses
to believe - and digs up ones
arguments accordingly. That
being So CHOOSE TO BE-
LIEVE ON THE BIG SIDE.
Maybe you're right, Friend
Atheist, when you say that
there's only one life.
But if that's so, why should
you wish to fill it with ugliness
and hate, rebellion and despair?
You point to sores.
I'll match you with flowers.
There are just as many flowers
in the world as sores - and
they're just as real.
Why pass 'em up then and
go looking for assesses? If we
are here so briefly, as you say,
all the more reason to make the
visit pleasant.
No God? Maybe not. No pur-
pose or plan?
But how do you explain the
loyalty of a dog-the markings
on a butterfly's wing-the sacri-
flee of a poor father or mother,
laying down their lives for their
children?
Accident? Egotism? All right
have it your own way.
But I prefer to think it's a
sign that there's something
larger and lovelier behind our
human muddle than our own
small greed and fear.
NO ARGUMENT
No future life? Only these
few years? THEN BY GOLLY,
I'M GOING TO LIVE THEM
AS IF I OWNED THE STARS!
For here are facts on which
there can be no argument, lads:
Courage is more splendid than
coWardice. Kindness is happier
than cruelty. Truth is prouder
than dishonesty.
Beauty is more inspiring than

arrived, one got a job.
But drilling Pomeranian
grenadierS in some ghastly
frontier post of distant Siberia,
or gathering at the head of a
squadron of Uhlans through the
reSounding streets of a small
university town of Thuringia,
had not exactly prepared those
charming young men for the
serious business of making a
