HU Deed of Bravery Deserves to
Be Recorded.
Joseph Marcio’. Saving of Comrade
Washed Overboard Proof That
Courage in Navy Is Not Con­
fined to the Fighters.
Many brave things have been done
toy the men of these hard-driven Amer­
ican ships, and one of them stands out
superbly, writes Ralph D. Paine In the
__
Saturday Evening Post. It was the
rescue of a man overboard in the
midst of a storm. This vessel was
caught out in ft while on convoy duty
and her survival was little short of a
miracle. The French marines called
It the worst blow the Bay of Biscay
had seen In eight years. Its violence
was that of a hurricane, with a wind
velocity approaching a hundred miles
an hour, such a storm as would have
sorely pounded and damaged a great
Atlantic liner.
The ship was more or less knocked
into kindling wood, both masts broken
off and rolled out of her, all three boats
smashed and carried away, decks gut­
ted, life rails splintered, compartments
flooded. The ship was rolling 55 de­
grees, or almost flat on her side, and
when she plunged, more than half the
length of her keel was in the air. In
the midst of it the steering gear Jam­
med and the ship was likely to broach
to and founder unless it could be clear­
ed. The chief quartermaster, E. H.
Robertson, volunteered for the Jeb
and was presently washed overboard,
carried off to leeward on the back of
i roaring sea.
There was not one chance tn a mil­
lion of saving him. He was as good as
lead, and vanished. The ship was run­
ning before the storm and a quarter
3t an hour passed before she could be
wrought to, a very dangerous maneu­
ver, which again swept her clean. The
juartermaster had not gone down, but
was visible on the lee bow, swimming
with the courage of a mafl who re­
fuses to surrender to the inevitable.
Lines were thrown to him. but he was
inable to reach them. Even if the
xmts had not been smashed it would
lave been impossible to launch one.
k life raft was shoved over, and it
loafed toward Robertson so that he
lould clutch it and hang on.
This was merely to prolong his ag*
my, however, for he could do nothing
nore to help himself. He had been in
he water IT minutes, buffeted, strang-
;
ed, freezing. The month was Deceih-
>er, the temperature of the sea 36 de­
crees. Among those who looked on
ind pitied the exhausted man who had
nade such a plucky fight of it was the
ihip’s cook, Joseph Marcio. His realm
It pots and pans being wrecked and
iwash, he turned his attention to this
affair of the drowning quartermaster,
knotting a line about hi* middle and
naking no fuss about it he Jumped ln-
o the sea nnd swam to Robertson, a
veritable porpoise of a sea cook with
i soul as big as all outdoors.
The ship had some way on her and
»uld not be wholly stopped. It hap-
>ened, therefore, that when the cook
[Tabbed the quartermaster they were
4 ilowly towed through the seas. The
(train was terrific and the rope nearly
-ut the cook In two, but he clung to his
nan until they were fetched alongside
ind hauled aboard together.
The quartermaster was unconscious,
ind the cook also collapsed on deck,
rat was thawed out with no serious
lamage.
This Joseph Marcio was
womoted to the rating of chief com-
nlssery etevmrd lo recognition of the
leed and was recommended for the
.raid life-saving medal of the navy de-
Dug Fairbanks in “A Good Bad Man”
Most of the villians we have had In >
photoplays from the very beginning ’
of the film industry have been the 1
"utter” villians of tradition. They 1
have been bad just on general prin- ,
ciples. Douglas Fairbanks, however,
has come to the rescue with an inno­
vation in "The Good Bad Man" a
Triangle feature which he wrote him
self, and in which he is starred.
(
The bad man here is a most likable
young chap, whose depreuations take
eccentric channels. For instance, he
holds up the Pacific Limited, and
robs the conductor of his ticket
punch. Again, he holds up the town
grocer and robs him of quantities of
tood which he bestows upon a friend­
less little orphan who lives on the
outskirts of civilization.
The reason is that Passin’ Through
as he calls himself for want of a bet­
ter name, has no idea who his father
was. He suspects that he may have
been born illegitimate. Therefore, he
is an enemy ot society, which would
make him an outcast.
In the course of the stirring action
of the play, "Passin' Through"
learns that his father was honorably
married to his mother, and that his
parentage was regular in every re­
spect. This picture is to be shown at
the Gem Theatre Friday, Auguu* j.

Profiteering in War Husbands.
The prosecution of the war risk
bureau of women who have married
two or more soldiers to obtain their
war insurance discloses the existence
of a thriving new feminine industry.
Taking two soldier husbands instead
of one of course doubles the wife's
income during the war and likewise
doubles the expectation of a round
sum ot insurance money in case of
death or disability. Apparently the
honors in this form of plural mar­
riage profiteering belong to the
women.
Under the old pension system of
rewarding war service the matrimon­
ial eligibility of a soldier increased
with his years. The present system
of government insurance apparently
puts a premium on youth; there in
now no necessity of waiting to be-
come an aged veteran's bride and in
due course his widow and to receive
his pension. This to be sure, is tak-
ing merely a cynical view of plural
soldier marriages. It may be that
some women of exurberant affections
find soldiers so irresistable that they
are even willing to commit bigamy,
not once, but as often as necessary
for the sake of their pay and insur­
ance. In addition to the romance of
the adventure, they multiply their
sources of support.
<
The revelation is a curious one of
feminine duplicity. While soldiers
have been protected from the influ­
ences of open immortality, they have
become the prey of a peculiar form
of marriage exploition for profit by
conscienseless women, not only in
isolated cases, but, according to of­
ficials of the war risk bureau, ‘‘In all
sections of the country, from Maine
to California.”—New York World.
