after a day and night of continuous
battle In one of the worst storms this
coast has experienced in years, life-
savers rescued tonight eight or tne
or more men on board the stranded
steamer Manchuria, which lies SO feet
from the beach, three miles south of
Little Island.
Ullnded by a terrific snow storm with a
Northeast wind driving waves over the
ship, the llfesavers for hours tried to
shoot a line to them. The llfesavers often
were caught by the angry waves and
dashed high upon the beach. They finally
made the lifeline fast, shot the basket out
to the stranded ship and brought ashore,
one by one. eight members of the crew.
Their Journey to shore was almost en
tirely under water.
The storm Increased In fury until the
waves beat back on the beach for sev
eral hundred feet and the llfesavers.
recognizing It would be suicidal to st
tempt to take on? any more of the crew,
abandoned the work of rescue for a time.
From the Manchuria signals were
flashed that the ship was leaking, but
probkbly would withstand the storm for
the night.

SENSE IS APPEALED TO
Honorary Vice-President of League
Declares Country Is Xot Awak
ened to Importance of
Ocean Qnardlans.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. March 8. "We
are face to face with a remarkable
period of world history," said Lincoln
C. Cummlngs. of Baltimore, honorary
vice-president, at the closing session of
the Navy League, today. He was dlc
cusslng "World Leadership on the Pa
cific" "Japan In the course of the psst 50
years has adopted Western civilization,"
he continued. "She Is experiencing not
so much evolution as revolution In edu
cation, commerce, business and almost
in religion.
"Japan, of course, aspires to the lead
ership of China, as well as the mastery
of the commerce of the Pacific.
"While the Panama canal will strate
gically give us a great advantage in be
ing able to move our battle fleet from
one coast to tne other, and thus meet
on enemy from any direction, yet. owing
to the great volume of trade that will
flow through the canal, and the -consequent
increased responsibilities we will
confront, we shall require a very strong
navy.
Nation Xot Awakened.
"Great as our progress in. the building
of a navy has been, the country has as
yet not fully awakened to the impor
tance and potentiality of the subject.
A navy cannot be built In a day, or at
the critical moment that it may be re
quired. Its construction and readiness
represent provident forethought and
prior preparation, without which is
weakness.
"If the United States requires any
navy. It logically follows that to be of
any value the navy must needs equal
any possible opponent, and Its theoreti
cal opponent's tonnage in sight should
be the practical guide of ours. Failure
of maintenance of such ratio will Just
so far endanger theoretical peace and
safety.
Question One of Business.
"It is not, then, a question of senti
ment, of economy, or even of humanity,
but of hard. National business sense
In the arbitrament of which all com
mercial bodies and citizens should In
terest themselves today."
Other addresses by E. K. Boden.
on "The Navy League and Limitations
of Armament," and Frank J. Symmes.
of San Francisco, on "Shall We Lead
or Follow on the Pacific?" were also
delivered.
"The Two-Battleship Programme,
the league's official document, sets forth
what is accepted as the Navy Depart
ment's views of future needs In regard
to maintaining the navy. Tgiia docu
ment concludes:
"Disarmament may come eventually,
but It has not come yet, and until it
does come, we cannot afford to fall be
hind." The delegates to the convention, and
a number of officers of the Pacific fleet,
attended a dinner tonight, which was
the closing function of the convention.
