WRECKAGE AIDS
SOME TO SAFETY
Three Life Savers Are Un
accounted For and May
Be Drowned.
COLINAS, CM, Not. 24. Forty-three
survivors and 15 dead from the
wrecked coasting; steamer Hana
lei, which went ashore Monday on Dux
bury reef, near here, had been ac
counted for a few hours after the ship
broke in two today and sank.
Of these, 10 were towed ashore by
life lines, or struggled through the
smother of Burf by their own strength,
and IS were carried aboard the revenue
cutter McCulIoch. All tne dead also
were on the McCulloch.
As the vessel had 62 persons aboard
all told, the list of dead and living left
but four unaccounted for.
Did tire Savers Perish 7
These figures did" not include, how
ever, fue men of the Fort Point life
tiving crew, San Francisco, who were
swamped Monday night Two of these
were known to have come safe ashore,
but the remaining three were variously
reported as aboard the McCulloch and
among those cast adrilt when the Han
alei broke up. They could not be count
ed with any certainty among either
the dead or the living.
Some Are Wax bed Ashore.
The Hanalei 'broke " into splinters
earlv today, after pounding on the reef
nearly 24 hours. Some of the frag
ments washed far enough in shore to
enable those clinging, to them to make
a fight for their lives. The ordinary
apparatus of life saving was powerless
against d is tan, fog and breaking sea.
Among those washed ashore unaided
was Mrs.- Ethel Ferguson and her son,
Harold, g years old, of Windsor, CaJ.
Oil from the fuel tanks of the
smashed ship coated the sea and made
slimy the rocks of the beach, adding to
the difficulties of the rescuers.
A thick fog Monday prevented
relief ships from aiding the Hanalei
and when darkness closed In and the
rescue craft sought safety in deep wa
ter, it was realised that the only possi
ble hope of saving the remaining 27
passengers and 28 officers -and crew
was to get a line out front-shore.
Newspaper Sends Aid.
To make this attempt a San Fran
cisco newspaper arranged to send, a
mortar gun and the crew of the Golden
State life saving station to the scene
of the wreck. A motor truck met the
life savers at Sausalito, on the north
shore of San Francisco bay, and began
the long journey around the heads to
a point opposite the stricken schooner.
OFFICER MAY BE PENALIZED
FOR COMMENTS IN PRIVATE
Washington, D. C. Nov. 24. Capt
Walter N. Hill, of the marine corps,
may have to answer for any remarks
he may have made upon the American
evacuation of Veracruz and- the Mexi
can situation, even though he made
them in private and did not Intend them
for publication.
In a telegram to secretary Daniels
today, Capt. Hill said he ventured the
private opinion to a personal friend
of his father that there might be dis
orders when the- troops left Veracruz.
Secretary Daniels is disposed to con
sider private criticism pf the adminis
tration policies by service officers as
improper.

apprehension for the safety of the city

kindle a disastrous fire.

The War At a Glance
IF THE official reports of the
Russians are correct, the tide
of the creat battle in Poland
has turned in their favor. Haw
Important tlie change i and to
what extent it will influence fu
ture operations in the struggle be
tween Germany and Russia, was
not apparent today.
The Russian war office today
made Its first definite announce
ment concerning the crucial battle.
It stated that between the Vistula
and Warthe rivers the Germans
had retreated. Germany's Inirnt
official statement gave this partia
continual! n by saying that the
arrival of Russian reinforcements
bad postponed the decision. There
was, however, no hint In this
Htntement of a retreat.
TURX TIDE AGAIXST TURKEY
In the war with Turkey, also,
Russia claims the advantage The
forces -which pushed down thrc ch
the Caucasus, Into Turkey, which
I'etrojjrnd admitted a few days bko
.had been compelled to retreat, nre
now said to have resumed the of
fensive and to be pushing on to
ward Erxerum, a Turkish city nenr
the eastern end of the Black sea. A
Turkish column was there pnt to
rout, the genernl staff of the army
of the Caucasus annonnccs. It
states also that the Turks were
defeated in two engagements in
northern- Persia.
LITTLE CHAAGD X WEST
In the west the opposing armies
. still held to the positions -which
' tbey have maintained, with few
changes, for the last two months.
Here and there along the 300 mile
line notably at Yprrs and Solu

wns spirited fighting, but appar
ently with no results other than
momentary advantages for oae side
orUhe other.
NO PEACE, SAYS GERMANY
Germany scouts the Idea that she
Is" deslrbns or making peace. The
.semiofficial Cologne Gazette char
acterises reports of this nature as
belonging to the "region of blgh
political Jdlocy.''

Bruges. Belgium, Nov. 24. 7n some
aspects civilization has been set back
several centuries oy me war in pans
ef Belgium. Conditions in Bruges and
the surrounding region are so, unsat
isfactory that the eritlre countryside
seems likely to Teturn to a state re
sembling the period of the religious
wars In the 16th century, when the fam
ishing population resorted to stealing,
plundering and smuggling.
Such occurences are being reported
now along the Dutch frontier. They
have led to sanguinary fights between
Belgian smugglers and German sol
diers and Dutch frontier guards. Law
less elements of the population are
raiding farms, killing or wounding the
occupants and stealing their posses
sions. Germans Pursue Marauders.
The Germans are doing what they
can to preserve order. Marauders are
pursued relentlessly.
In cities like Antwerp, prices of the
necessaries of life have rlson greatly.
The German authorities, while refrain
ing from the imposition of direct taxa
tion, demand large sums from the peo
ple1 through a complicated system of
stamp taxes. These taxes are Imposed
for infraction of any of tho many petty
rules which have been made.
