SHIPJN GALE
Two of the Hospital Craft
N Mercy's Wounded and
, III Die from Seasickness.
i
New York, Dec. 29. What the
.Vlantic can do when it actually gets
gale-swept from coast to coast was
s-Iiowt, on the trip of the hospital
?!)ip Mercy, which docked recently
at an army pier in Hoboken. Her
pis.age from Rre.-.t, France, took
fififcn days, though she is a fajt
s-hip, and of the 3 wounded and ill
Vuericans !he brought home, those
who were able fo use crutches were
t!-.r.lwn aiiout by the tossing of the
ship until they had to take to their
bunks and stay there.
'Hie stretcher cases had to be
, strapped in their bunks all the time
tin Mercy was at sea. to prevent
. their being thrown out.
"" Ntarly, all the ailing men suffered
f-o:n seasickness and two of them;
!;ed at sea. They were Leonard
Hi't of Wisconsin, member of the
Eighteenth infantry, who had sep
ticaemia, and Archie Tanner of
Pennsylvania, a member of the
Trree Hundred and Fourth engin
eers, who had been gassed.
Seas smashed in the promenade
deck of the ship forward and ripped
up her motor lifeboats. For 13 hours
in mid-ocean she was forced o
heave to in a sixty-five mile gale.
Several times the gales reached sev
enty miles an hour.
Had to Run in for Coal.
Finally, running short of coal, the
Mercy turned and ran into Bermuda,
wl.erc her bunkers were filled. Those
aboard had a chance to rest for four
days in the smooth waters of St.
George's harbor.
The Mercy was only three hours
out of Brest when she ran into the
northwester. From then on, for
days, it was a continuance of head
blows. She behaved remarkably
well under the circumstances and
rode the seas until the wind reached
70 miles. Then her forward decks
v. ere sea-swept. She was dry aft,
h'wevcr.
Cn the fourth night the barometer
dropped to 29.20 wd seas began bat
tering the promenade deck, so it was
decided to heave to The two motor
t sailors, or lifeboats, each 36 feet
kng, had been washed -adrift on the
f'.r ard deck. They were captured
a'.ic' lashed, but not before their bot
tf.Mis had been smashed.
On the night of November, 30 an
SOS call was received. It was from
the American freighter Tunica,
. .bound here from Gibraltar, and sent
out the message: "I have lost my
screws."
Tunica Received Aid.
Then a message was intercepted
from the American freighter Wyan
dotte, bound from Brest to Balti
more, that she was steaming to the
Tunica's aid and had fuel enough to
towjher. -
Again last Sunday an S O S came
from another freighter that said she
was short of fuel oil. She soon after
flashed out that another steamship
was going to her aid and would tow
her to Bermuda.
The best speed the Mercy made at
any time between Brest and Ber
muda was 16 knots, although she is
, capable of 30. She was formerly the
Ward liner Saratoga.
When she was 25 miles from Am
, brose Light vessel, off the harbor
here, she struck a paravane, one of
the submerged bases between which
cables are strung to sweep mines,
and picked it up, bringing it here
with her.
.. Even the marines on board were
glad to get ashore. The ship brought
thirty-six of them, fourteen unable
to walk, who fought at Belleau
Wood.
. Lieut. Col. John A. Hughes, who
t led marines in the Spanish-American
war and the Philippines, was among
thewounded. He-wore the Medal
of "Honor, the, Croix de Guerre and
the D. S.-Q. medal. Asked 'where
he lived, Col. Hughes replied, "All
over; I am in the marines." But he
added: "I have a dear old mother
livini at No. 164 West Seventy-fourth
street, and am going to see ber be
fore. I do any more fighting."
' Marines World's Greatest Men."
"But nothing could drive me out of
the marines." Col. Hughes added.
"From private to general they are
the greatest men in the world. They
have one slogan, 'Death before sur
render!' and I think the boys in
France showed pretty well they were
all true to that pledge."
Asked about his injury, Col.
Hughes explained that he got
"bumped up in the big push at St.
Mihiel."
"Oh, I was shot in the leg and a
few other things," he added, "but
I've been in the army game all my
life arfrl you can't drive me out.
When they patch me up I'll be on
deck again."
Col. Hughes was in command of
the Sixth Marines until its ranks
vere so depleted it was decided to
transfer him to the Twenty-third in
fantry. x
"At 'em boys! Get 'em'." was the
cry cf the marines at Chateau
Thierry as they first went over the
top, several of them said. They went
ahead, yelling encouragement for
one. another until every man was
wrought up to fever pitch.
'The whole German army might
have stopped them dead, but they
never would have been stopped
alive," one said as he was being
carried off the ship on a stretcher to
be taken to the hospital.
Government Booths for
the Sale of Rice in Tokio
Tokio The new Hara cabinet has
taken a drastic move to solve the
rice situation by removing the im
port tax on foreign rice. This meas
ure has proved a great relief to the
Japanese people and tends to lessen
the hardship resulting from the ex
orbitant price of cereals. Govern
mental booths are now set up in
all parts of Tokio for the distribu
tion of rice to the poor at moderate

AT THE
THEATERS
THE PRODUCERS of "Married
by Wireless," a tabloid musical
comedy at the Orpheum this
week, accomplished something worth
while by presenting a series of nau
tical effects in connection with the
little story of the act. The com
pany of eight persons go through
some lively chatter and music on
the deck of a steamer. In the back
ground are seen the rolling billows
and in the distance all sorts of craft
and now and then a bit of scenery.
The sinking of a steamer by a sub
marine is indeed realistic, at least
Sunday audiences thought so. The
v.ew of New York harbor, with the
Statue of Liberty looming up brought
!:earty applause. Queenie William
is about as shifty a bit of femin
ity as has appeared on the Orpheum
stage this season. Clyde Dilson a-f
tne stowaway runs a close second to
Miss Williams for first honors.
I here are eight musical numbers
and altogether it is a pleasing act.
Wilbur Mack, supported by Louise
Holly, Earl Bronson and Charles
Helper, is back with "A Pair of
Tickets," a merry mess of witticisms
v. ith music to balance the ottering
Alia Moskova and her classic danc
ers are able exponents of the Terpsi
chorean art. Walters and Walters
have discovered a new way to dem
onstrate their ability as ventrilo
quists. Margot Francois and com
panion offer an acrobatic act in
which Miss Francois appears on
stilts. Daisy Ncllis is a pianist of
unusual ability. Her playing of
rompositions by MacDowell and
L.iS7t places her in the front ranks
of musicians. Hampton Blake is a
droll fellow who is iust a little
different from the ordinary run of
fi'iMii-ikTS A young woma'i a
iter, assists Blake in the merriment.
The official allied weekly war review
shows a series of interesting war
scenes in Siberia. Yellowstone Na
tional park views are protected bv l
the Orpheum travel weekly.
The Rose Melville classic, "Si
Hopkins." revised and remodeled, is
being offered at the Boyd this week,
with Miss Vada Heilman in the role
that brought wealth and fame to the
original Sis. Miss Heilman is clever
enough to try imitations of her il
lustrious predecessor, but to give
the part the flavor of her own per
sonality, which she does in a quiet
and unobtrusive manner, so that its
charm as well as its humor is well
developed. Otis Oliver, playing the
Obadiah Odium part, occasions
much laughter with his bucolic com
edy, which is not that of a hopeless
bumpkin but a shrewd mixture of
business greed and good nature.
Tack Robinson has one very ef
fective scene in the last act, where
he portrays the old man. his mini
upset, seeing his daughter in a
vision. The play was very much
enjoyed by a large audience last
night. It stays all week.

delegates to the peace congress ex
press gratification tonight over the
unqualified statement in the chani
l)ci of deputies today by Stephen
I'ichoii, the French minister, of for
eign affairs, that France had adopted
tlie principle of a league of nations
and now was busy working toward
its effective realization and also that
France stands for the utmost pub
licity ot the peace conference.
Following President Wilson's
siatement in his speech in the Guild
Hall. London, that the British lead
ers had agreed to accept his peace
principles, M. Pichon's declaration
vas considered to remove the cloud
of obscurity which hitherto had
hovered over the njxliminaries of
the peace conference.
President Wilson's statement in
the Guild Hall, taken together with
the developments of the past few
days it is asserted in high quarters
in Paris, will result in a definite and
s jcedy disposition of the main
points of the question of a league of
i.ations.
Since France has accepted Presi
dent Wilson's principles through M.
Pinchoii and England apparently
l as done the same, the assent of
I'nly to them was declared tonight
by some of the American delegates

London, Dec. 29. Lord Robert

for carrying the principle of a
league of nations into effec. dealt
with what he termed the difficulties
connected with the details of such a
plan.
"The great difficulty in providing
an alternative to war lies in the dif
ficulty in providing effective action

tions which may be made on the
subject," said Lord Robert.
"As to the most difficult question
of all, namely, disarmament; noth

LOST BATTALION
CUE MAS
BY HEROIC DEEDS
Action Described by Capt.
Harrigan, Wounded in
Leading One Relief
Party.
New York, Dec. 29. The Amer
ican transport Turrialba, with 92
wounded officers, arrived here yes
terday from France. It brought
also a returned cargo1 of explosives.
The officers include Capt. William
Harrigan, son of the late Edward
Harrigan, comedian. Captain Har
rigan was wounded by a machine
gun bullet while leading one of the
detachments which went to the
rescue of Colonel Whittlesey's "lost
battalion" in the Argonne wood.
Captain Harrigan said that when
carrier pigeons released by Lieu
tenant Colonel Whittlesey reached
the lines with requests for aid, heavy
fog hung over the forest, making an
advance impossible for the time.
"We called for 40 volunteers to
attempt to get food and clothing
to the surrounded battalion," he
said, "and my battalion volunteered
to a man."
Forty of the men were select
ed, he said, and started forward.
But when the fog lifted and permit
ted an advance in force, all of them
were found slain by machine gun
fire.
Describing the advance of the
second relief party, Harrigan de
clared that their valor "will never
be fully understood.
"From the day they went into
action until they were retired for
rest," said, "they had seen 185
consecutive days of fighting, and as
they advanced to aid Lieutenant
Colonel Whittlessey's men, many
fell from sheer exhaustion, but be
lieving they had been shot." Despite
the rain of machine gun bullets,
which killed many of his command,
he said, "they fought like devils, and
the Boche was glad to give up
ground in the face of such an ir
resistible and irrepressible force."
Vatican Envoy to Wilson
Ordered to Stay, in Paris
Rome, Dec. 29. Monsignor Cer
retti, the papal undersecretary of
state, has received instructions to
remain in Paris for the present. It
is believed the pope intends to re
call him to Rome to be
present at the time of the visit of
President Wilson.
When Monsignor Cerretti left
Rome in November on a mission to
the United States, his object was
two-fold to attend the jubilee of
Cardinal Gibbons and to present
President Wilson with an autograph
letter from the pope. He was also
instructed to visit France, Belgium,
fcngland and Ireland, and report on
the situation.
When he vas about to sail for
America, President Wilson's deci
sion to come to Europe was an
nounced, therefore Monsignor Cer
retti was ordered to return to Paris
to accomplish his work in France,
pending the president's arrival. He
has already presented the pope's
letter to the president.

New t York, The shipment of
American-built steam locomotives
weighing 73 tons each, and assem
bled all but the smoke stack and the
tender so. that they could move
away under their own steam within
a few hours after their arrival in
France was among the accomplish
ment of the United States army
transport Force under stress of war
and has since been continued.
More than 400 of these locomo
tives were so shipped from New
York in a ew months, it was
learned here with the lifting of the
war censorship regulations, and
these were in addition to 1,200
which were shipped in sections
nine to a locomotive packed in
cases. The ships used to transport
the locomotives, complete, were of
a special type with three holds,
each hold measuring 60 by 102 feet
entered by hatches 39 feet wide and
42 feet long.
Packed in Baled Hay.
Into each, of the three holds was
placed 12 locomotives 36 to a ship.
For a bed or flooring on which they
rested for the voyage, was used
more than 3.000 tons of steel rails.
The locomotives when in position
were braced with heavy wooden
beams and the space between the
boilers to the level of the top of the
steam dome packed solid with
highly compressed baled hay.
On this hay another flooring was
laid, and on this floor was placed
the tenders the smoke stack, with
more baled hay or other light cargo,
packed in the space where coal is
to;be carried. On top of the ten
d. - was packed still more cargo to
the deck level, and during the "rush
days" the above deck space filled
with crated airplanes. When com
pletely loaded with the 36 locomo
tives and other cargo, each vessel
was carrying a dead weight of 14,000
tons in addition to ship machinery,
bunker coal and crew supplies.
Loaded in 20 Minutes.
The loading of the locomotives
is an interesting sight. Steel rail
road barges, carrying 14 of the steel
monsters are made fast alongside a
inn.tnn ranaritv floatine derrick
barge, in'turn made fast to the ship.
An ordinary sling ot steel wire is
placed around the forward end of
the boilers, another under the sup
ports to the cab, the signal given
and the locomotive lifted 40 to 50
feet in the air, swung over and gent
ly loaded into the ship's hold. The
whole operation required but 20
minutes, and it was accomplished
with the same ease and with the
s..me lack of excitement as pre
vailed on a steamer at an adjoining
deck which was taking on board
500-pound bales of cotton.
The idea of shipping locomotives
ct .lplete was conceived when army
transport officers were informed
that England was shipping them
across the channel ready to move
away on arrival.
"If England can do it, so can
America," an officer said, and he
straightway commandeered a fleet
of ore-carrying vessels which were
constructed with hatches large
enough to permit the handling of
such freight.
Only Small Part of Work.
When the movement was , at its
height the following time was re
corded for the movement of a loco
motive from its builders to its base
of action behind the battle lines:
Shops to New Jersey terminals 24
hours; from rail to barges, six
hours; from terminals to ship side,
six hours; barge to ship, 20 min
utes; New York to France, nine
days; ship to army rail lines and
hooked to a transport train bound
for" the front, six hours; a total of
less than 12 days.
Handling of 73-ton locomotives
as if they were but one-tenth of
their weight, is only a small part
of the tremendous work tftat has
been under way at army transport
piers since the United States trans
port service attained full swing.
Maj. Dan O'Brien, marine direc
tor, an officer who has won his rank
by more than 20 years' service in
every big port of the United States,
Cuba, Mexico, and the Philippines,
where-, transport facilities of the
army were centered, is the man who
handled the locomotives.
