LRIATHANh NOW JUNK

The 5hcesproud liner Leviathan, huilt
IN Germarls in 1913. and originally named
the VaterIand. Is scheduled to make her
last ocean voyage this month, from Ho-
boken. \. J., to Glasgow, Scotland, to be
broken up as junk.
In her day the Leviathan was one of
the largest passenger ships afloat. and
after being seized by the United States at
the time of our entry into the World War
the ship transported more than 10000
American soldiers To France.
After the war she was for years one
of the fastest and most luxurious vessels
plying the Atlantic, and could accom-
modate 3.400 passengers. 1t IS estimated
that at least million persons took passage
on the great ship during her years of ac-
tive service.
But the Leviathan became unprofit-
able to operate. and for some time befOps
being retired in 1884 was losing about S70.-
600 on each voyage. It Is said that only
I35 passengers were carried or her last
trip.
So, the great ship, which cost % mil
lion dollars 10 build. and on which the
government spent several millions to keep
in service. has been sold for S7s2. 900. The

SERMON TOPIC
LAST EVENING

ITO obey is better than sacri-
flee. was the text used by Gypsy
Smith last night in his message to
his congregation at First Metho-
dist church.
The speaker took his scripture
lesson from the 18th chapter of
First Samuel and used the ac-
count recorded therein as the
foundation for his remarks. He
showed how the Lord, working
through the Prophet Samuel,
anointed Saul king over his peo-
pie Israel and how the Lord led
Saul and his 10000 men against
Amalek with this command,
Now go and smite Amalek. and
utterly destroy all that they have,
and spare them not: but slay both
man and woman. infant and suck
ling, OK and sheep. camel and
ass. The Lord caused Saul to be
victorious but Saul disobeyed
Gods command and did not de-
stroy all
When the Prophet went to
Saul, Saul lied about It all and
then when he realized that he
was caught up with he tried to
blame il on the people. when he
realized that that wouldn't get
him by he lied again and pretend
ed that ne brought It back to sac
rifice unto the Lord. then Samuel
speaks the words of the text,
Hath the Lord as great delight
in burnt offerings and sacrifices.
as in obeying the voice Of the
Lord? Behold 10 obey IS better
than sarifice. and to hearken than
the fat of rams.

MOTHER BELIEVED
TRACED TO D. 8.
Washington Police Join in
Hunt-SoIdier Held
at Fort Myer.

Washington police today joined the
hunt for the missing mother of an
6-week-old baby boy, who was found
abandoned in a truck near Greensboro,
N. c., last Sunday
Fort Myer authorities, holding a
l9-year-old soldier for questioning in
the case, informed police that another
man reported to them today that he
had picked up woman, believed to
be the missing mother. near Green's
boro Tuesday and driven her to
Washington.
The informant. who identified him.
self to Fort Myer officers as James
Ruff of Arlington, said he let the
woman out of his car here yesterday
morning. He said she told him she
was Rita Lowell, the name used by
the young woman who is being sought
from North Carolina to New York.
A note pinned to the clothing of the
abandoned baby said: "Lenox Hill
Hospital. New York. Born March 2,
1898. Roland Lowell" the Associated
Press reported
Left Two Weeks Ago.
This clue led to Mrs. Rose SZenftner
Of New York, who said her foster
daughter, Frieda Szenftner, 10, who
used the name Rita Lowell, had left
home with the baby two weeks ago to
marry a soldier at Fort Myer.
The foster mother tearfully said she
believed some bad men must be hold
ing her" because Rita never would
part with her baby as long as she's
alive"
Her information caused Fort Myer
authorities to take into custody the
young soldier, whom she said Rita
had intended to marry. The soldier
had been in the post hospital since
April l8 for treatment for injuries
received there. Officers today said
they had not obtained full state
ment from him.
The Travellers Aid Society in Phila-
delphia said Rita and the baby were
picked up there April 10 and dis
appeared the next day, according to

Found by Truckman.
William Tuttle, truckman, said he
found the baby in his truck after
hearing a squeal. He had no idea
how the child got into the truck.
A. w. Cline, chief probation officer
of the Juvenile Court at Winston
Salem, N c., took charge of the case
when the baby was taken to the
Forsyth County Hospital by the truck
man.
Mrs. Szenftner said in New York
that Rita worked in a smart Fifth
avenue dress shop at embroidery work
for IS per week. She said the soldier
sent Rita $40 to make the trip to
Fort Myer.
