PRINCE GEORGES POST EDITORIAL
COMMENDED FOR POLICY STATEMENT


When a good neighbor makes a state
nent which engages our enthusiasm and
inspires us. again with the high OBJ
jectives Of journal ism, we believe
such a statement should be re-echoed,
endor sed, and urgently re-
c commended to our readers.
In New Year editorial, dated
Dec. 20, 1887, the Editor Of the Prince
Georges Post IA weekly publ shed at.
Hyattsvil1e, Nd, at 81 per year, said
in part:
1.-THE Post has at no time taken
sides poli tically. It believes
there is both good and bad in
all political ideas. The Post
should like to maintain at all
times a feeling Of independence
Of any political group so that
it may be free to applaud or
criticise as it feels the good
Of the county dictates. Nor
does The Post at any time think
that its ideas are the acme Of
thought. but merely an express
sion of opinion. In other wordsy
The Post does not wish to set
itself up as g biased 'mouthp1ece
Of any individual or group, not .,
even Of its own publishers.
The real aim Of The Post is
to present each week that news
Of the county in which it believes.
the readers Of the paper are
Interested. If q newspaper can
succeed in presenting facts as
truthfully as it. is possible to
gain them, affording its read
ers freedom and opportunity Of
drawing conclusions, that paper
has served its highest purpose.

na1ism the Price Georges Post

BATTLES FOR LIFE
AFTER SEA RESCUE
Young Woman Who Survived
Sharks Remains Silent

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a pretty
young woman. who faced death In
black tropical seas for five hours last
Sunday, lay in a Brooklyn hospital
today. weak from exposure but ap-
parently determined to keep to her
self the details Of her strange expe-
rience.
Miss Eleanor Offutt, as, of Los
Angeles, was in danger OF pneumonia
from her long ordeal in the ocean, but
even that threat did not induce her
to talk.
Only from Capt. G. c. Bown and .
few members of the crew of the
freighter Lillian Luckenbsch did the
story Of her rescue come, and the
tellers knew nothing Of why or how
Miss Offutt went over side as the ship
sailed north Of San Salvador.
It was sheer luck she survived at
all, the captain and the others thought.
1T was remarkable the sharks didn't
find her before We did, the skipper
said of the five-hour search.
As it was, Miss Offutt was semi-con-
scious when he was hauled into q
lifeboat at dawn.
She had boarded the ship at San
Francisco and to Capt Bown she
seemed despondent and nervous. At
1:55 am. last Sunday the ship was
reused by Mrs. G. D. Brundritt, Miss
Offutt's cabin mate, with the alarm
that the young woman had gone over
board.
At dawn a woman's cries were heard
somewhere near the ship. A lookout
spotted Miss Offutt and she was
quickly rescued.
She was too weak to talk and four
sealed envelopes found in her cabin,
containing notes which might have
disclosed her secret, were returned to
her unopened.
The ship docked yesterday in
Brooklyn.

The companies sought to enjoin the
