50th Year of Work
Among Sailors
BY WARREN HAPGOOD.

One day, long time ago, a IT.
year-old girl, Janet Lord, was walk
ing along Hanover street in Boston,
place where you meet seafaring
men from all ports of the civilized
world. Attracted by a hymn tune,
she stopped before a building, lis
tened to the music of a melodeon,
the lusty chorus of mems voices
and, at length, drawn by a power
greater than her girlish timidity,
she mounted the steps and so en-
tered the headquarters of the Bos-
ton Seamen's Friends Society. Thus
destiny took hold of Janet's life and
showed her the way to go.
Now Janet Roper, Mother Roper"
to the sailors of the seven seas.
house mother of the Seamen's
Church Institute or South street.
New York, is observing the 5Oth an
nlVersary Of her work among sailors,
and there is hardly forecastle from
the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo,
from John O'Groats to the Ambrose
Light, which does not contain at
least one shellback beholden to her
in any one of an infinite variety of
ways.
She is slender, almost frail of
physique. There are only a few
traces OF gray in her hair for all her
66 years, and her eyes snap with
intelligence, vitality and kindly
humor. Several years ago she devised
the idea of publishing lists of miss
ing seamen, copies being sent to
seamen's homes throughout the
world for display on bulletin boards
The service has obtained extraor-
binary results. Sailors out of touch
with their families for years have
been located and contacts restored
brothers have been reunited in far
flung ports; all sorts of happy things
have been effected. In all, to date,
5,327 sailormen supposedly swallowed
In the sea or forever merged in the
melting pots of alien ports, have
been recovered from oblivion.
While in Boston, Mother Roper
met and subsequently married a
Congregational clergyman, engaged
IN similar service. They worked to-
gether in Gloucester, in Canada and
in Oregon until her husbands death
in 1915, when she went to the
Seamens Institute on South street
She has no illusions about sailormen,
holding them to be no better and
no worse than other men. Her
work, and her three daughters. living
with her in Brooklyn, comprise her
enthusiasms.

The fact that Germany disregard
ed the law of nations in the last
great war did not do away with
this set of rules which guide dur

A recommendation today by the
administration that all so-called
neutrality laws be repealed and that
America return to it's former status

Reliance on the law of nations as
guidance In case of foreign wars
dates from the very beginning OF
this Government. When war broke
out between Austria, Prussia, Sar-
DINA, Great Britain and the United
Netherlands on the one hand and
France on the other, George Wash
ington, then President, issued as OF
April %, 1898. a proclamation de-
claring for a neutral course on the
part of the United States. 1t is
worth quoting. 1t said, in part:
The duty and interest Of the
United States require that they
should with sincerity and good faith
adopt and pursue conduct friendly
and impartial toward the belligerent
powers.
Il have therefore thought At by
these presents to declare the dispo-
sition of the United States to observe
the conduct aforesaid toward those
powers respectively. and to exhort
and warn the citizens of the United
States carefully to avoid all acts and
proceedings whatsoever which may
in any manner tend to contravene
such disposition.
And I do hereby also make known
that whosoever of the citizens OF the
United States shall render himself
liable to punishment or forfeiture
under the law of nations by commit
ting aiding or abetting hostiities
against any of the said powers, or by
CARRYING to any of them those articles
which are deemed contraband by the
modern usage of nations, will not
receive the protection of the United
States against such punishment OF
forfeiture; and further, that have
given instructions to those officers tt
whom it belongs to cause prosecu-
tions to be instituted against all
persons who shall, within the cog.
nizance of the courts Of the United
