ARMY TRANSPORT
 PILES ON ROCKS
Kvichak Piles Up On Shore of British Columbia;
 People in LifebOats

Seattle, Jan. 28.-(UP)-The 1900 ton army transport Kvichak piled up on the rocky shore halfway up the British Columbia coast today, and B passengers and most of the crew of 3S took to lifeboats.
 The ship reported to coast guard headquarters here that no lives were lost, although one lifeboat cap- sized.
 The Kvichak struck the Sisters Rocks in Finlayson Channel and flashed an sos at 10:3O o'clock last night Q:30 a. m. EST). Rough seas whipped her as she slowly settled.
 Capt. w. w. Williamson, veteran of the Alaska water route, reported by radio early to: "All passengers and most of the crew are ashore as far as is known. The rest of us, all crew members, will have to stay aboard until rescued"
 The coast guard cutter Nahama put out from Ketchikan, Alaska, and expected to reach the vessel by 1 p. m. (4 P. M. EST). A dense fog and a "very rough sea" held her speed to 10 knots.
 40 Years Old
 The Kvichak, a 40-year- -old motor ship chartered by the army from the Alaskan Packers Association of San Francisco, left Seattle Saturday with supplies for southeastern Alaskan ports. Passengers included officers, soldiers and civilian work men en route to defense bases.
 The first sos picked up by the coast guard said:
 "On rocks at Sisters Rocks Fin layson Channel. Need assistance. Lat. 52.32 U., Long. 128.28 w. Need assistance badly"
 The next message said: 'Lifeboat capsized. Woman in water now. Can't find them"
 At 2:30 a. m.: Skipper says the ship is filling up fast, but is settled down on rocks okay. Will be prob ably safe.''
 Ten minutes later, the ship ra- dioed that the passengers and most of the crew had got away in life boats.
 The ship was following the 'inside passage" between shore and numer- ous islands to Alaska. Two experi- enced Alaskan pilots, Odd Haugen and Hans Buhman were assisting Williamson.
 Army transport service headquar- ters here said there were g passen- gers and crew of 38 aboard.

For time Tommy Atkins listened to the at tack on the colors, then suddenly he pushed through the motley crowd, and seized the orator by the scruff of the neck: Here ye blackguard, kneel down, and sing God Save The King, or I'll knock yer block off" Ay, ay, Jock" shout ed the crowd, make he kiss the bloomin' f1ag!"

BRITISH GROWN

If one wants to see the British Crown it can be seen, in normal times of course, in the famous Tower of London. There it is with all the other crown jewels inside a great cage. It is guarded night and day by details of soldiers de- tailed from the Grenadier or Cold stream Guards, or other regiments stationed in London. Yes, there 1t is with all its diamonds. It is the sentimental link that knits to- gether the great British Empire. Links the British Isles, Canada, Australia, India and the far-dung dominions over the seas.
 KIPLING
 The lines of England's famous writer and poet seem almost a prayer, for Kipling loved his England:
 For heather heart that puts
 her trust
 In reeking tube and iron shard All valent dust that builds on
 dust
 And guarding calls not Thee to
 guard
 For frantic boast and foolish
 word.
 Thy mercy on Thy people,
 Lord"
 SHAKESpEARE
 In his King John, the Bard of Avon gave these lines to one of his characters:
 Come the three corners of the
 world in arms,
 And we shall shock them;
 nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but
 true"
 CRAZY WAR
 And this war is called crazy war. The world stands astonished at the madness of mankind. The Russians call it a War of ideal ogy." Others say, Christianity cannot be flouriShing under cir cumstances like these!" Others "A Moral Gangerene!" Many men of many minds.
 SICK WORLD
 One thing is sure. This is sick old world. "It is, in my mind" says Fox, mo small misfortune to live at a period when scenes of horror and bloodshed are frequent. One of the most evil consequences of war, is that it tends to render the hearts of mankind callous to the feelings and sentiments of hu- manity."
 THEORY
 Says my friend Bruce Calvert, editor and publisher of 'The Open Road" There was a time when everyone believed the earth was flat, had four corners like table and if one went too near the edge, was liable to fall off into space. If I had lived at that time and stood at a street corner and told the crowd they were all wet, that the earth was round and not flat, that the sun did not revolye around the earth but just the opposite, they would have pulled me off the soap box, and torn me to shreds. Look, what they did to poor Gallileo! So it's not wise to listen too closely to crowds. Never trust najorities too far. Numbers do not prove anything. Popular belief by the millions does not argue for soundness of the belief -more likely argues against 1t. Matthew Arnold said the majority was always wrong. Ibsen that ma jorities were NEVER RIGHT. A lie can be believed by ten million just as easy as one or two. The moral Is not to listen too closely to crowds and never trust maJoritieS too far" At a tune when propa- ganda Is In the air we breathe, such advice cannot be disputed.
 GODS
 We live ln days when religion spells natIonallsm. The warning nations pray to Q God Of their own making. Each nation has itS own God, some have none at oil, so what7 Tie result b WAR.

Workmen,s Compensation

A lengthy measure amending the present Workmen,s Compensation Act was introduced also today by Senator Blansfield. One feature of the proposed amendments is that a man who is injured through wilful or malicious acts and who is gov- erned by workmen's compensation can seek compensation or bring civil action.
 The bill would also change the re- quirements of the Compensation Act so that anyone claiming disease as the result of working conditions at his or her place of employment need show circumstances only oS the approximate cause.

 Joseph Flow of the Waterbury Fish and Game association is un- derstood to be prominently identi- fled with those who are seeking to have this bill passed. MT. Fow prepared the original bill to go be- fore the Legislature this year and expects to head a large group of sportsmen to Hartford for the hear ing on the bill.

AS Secretary Of War StimsOn
asked the other day. after summar-
zing the steps we had taken TO
keep the war from our borders.
I'VE hold in our hands the inslrll-
ment ready and able to make al
these steps effective; shall we now
finch and permit these munitions
to be sunk in the Atlantic ocean,"
Up to the time of this writing
there has been no formal invOca-
ton of the CONVOY system; so why
should there be anything shocking
about a discussion of the righteous
ness and the expediency of SUCH a
program?
The isOlationists say it would be
an act of war for American war
craft to protect American cargOes.
Why should it be considered more
an act Of war than our trading
flock of destroyers to England If
! exchange for a number of naval
bases on English territory?
If Herr Hitler chose to make i
the occasion for war, he could d.
so Of course just as he could
have done over a variety of inc
dents of the past year. But 1t is
very doubtful if he is prepared Al
this time to take on an additional
adversary, and that adversary the
most powerful in the world.
