SHIP CAPTAIN'S HEROISM MARKS RESCUE AT SEA Cattle-Laden Freighter Is } Struck by Liner Off Grand Banks. By Unite* pre„, NEW YORK. March 9—A story of discipline and heroism at sea was told today after the ArnericanDiamond lined. Black Eagle, had come Into port with officers and crew of the sunken freighter, Concordia, The Concordia, bound for Glasgow with cattle and freight, was struck amidships by the Black Eagle off the Grand Banks in a j dense fog on March 5. It sank. The disaster was a thrilling experience for Mrs. Louise Junker of i Chicago and her three children on the Black Eagle. Captain Allan Murray of the freighter said: “At about 3 30 Monday I heard a whistle and realized j it was off mv port bow. I signalled I full speed astern. The Black Eagle i crashed into our port side amid- j chips. Just aft of No. 3 hold." Murray said he postponed launching of the life boats for an hour because many cattle had fallen into : the sea through the gaping hole in his craft. He feared the cattle j would swamp the boats. Three officers of the Concordia ran from their cabin when the Black Eagle sounded its warning. The bow of the liner wrecked their quarters a moment later. “I was getting into my lifeboat without my life preserver,” one Concordia seaman said.. “Captain Murray asked me where it was. I told him I had forgotten it. He stripped off his own and made me put it on. He was on the ship for a quarter of an hour after that without any on himself.” To Joseph Junker, 13, of Chicago, a passenger on the Black Eagle, the collision was a lark. Returning from Rotterdam with his mother and three younger sisters to their home in Chicago, he recalled the rule, “Women and children first.” He was asked about his action. “What would any man do?” he replied. “I looked after the kids. Margaret was a little scared, but I stuck an apple in her mouth and that kept her quiet. But I wasn’t worried.” The Black Eagle brought $2,000,OCO in gold from Rotterdam and a large cargo of liquor. 67,000 Acres For Rent LINCOLN, Neb..

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. OF the many books which are published each week. good half of them get no response from the particular reader. “When Shark! Shark!’ came, I had the feeling that I was not interested m the subject matter. But as I read page after page of Shark! Shark!" I found a story so well told, so interesting, and so authentic that.it became not only a romance of shark hunting and killing, but a great story of the ‘family life” of the sharks. Captain William E. Young has devoted thirty years of his life to hunting, studying and killing these assassins of the deep. His observations have been recorded in this book by Horace S. Mazet. Captain Young told his experiences to Mr. Mazet, who. in turn, made a tremendously fine and thrilling narrative out of “Shark! Shark!’’ It is published by Gotham House. New York City, and it has been bound in shark leather. This binding makes it one of the most unique looking books I have seen in many years. The subject matter is just as distinctive and different as the binding. In a foreword by Felix. Count Von Luckner, he explains that “the shark is the most widely known and feared fish in the world and still we know very little about him.’’ Count Von Luckner contends that Captain Young has caught sharks near and far in all parts j)f the world and that he “is the outstanding expert with practical knowledge about all kinds of sharks.” non EVERY page of this book lives up to the count’s estimates. It is never dull reading. The story starts with Captain Young telling why he started hunting sharks in Florida coast and Pacific waters. It probably started out more as a fishing lark than anything, but gradually it became not only a science, but a livelihood to the captain. Expressions like this in “Shark! Shark!” tells their own story: “A shark is a muscular marvel. Predatory, fated to be ever hungry, roving, relentless, a shark never sleeps, never lets up his ceaseless swimming through the sea.” “The only good shark is a dead shark.” “The fact that small sharks will live in captivity, immediately suggests the possibility of raising some until they exceed the eight-een-foot limit. I see nothing to prevent it. except that great care must be observed in their feeding.” “Havana dumps its garbage out to sea four or five miles off shore several times a day. Native fishermen go out to the dumping grounds and lie in wait for the keen-smelling brutes which come up from the blue deep to eat. Harpoons flash, and when the captive is drawn to the boat, the fisherman wields a swift knife.

One slash across the backbone and the shark is paralyzed.” ana r p'HIS bock answers the timeA old question—Do sharks attack human beings? The expert answers it not only in words, but with photographs of what many human beings have suffered from these man-killers. The pictures causes the reader to shiver, but they answer the question beyond any doubt. Another splendid feature of this book is that the captain has been able to remember the names and the characteristics of the many natives in many countries who have helped him kill sharks. “Shark! Shark!” is romantic reading—a story of thirty years of the amazing career of an amazing individual—Captain Young.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

KEEP NAVIES AT FULL STRENGTH, ADMIRAL URGES Preserve Balance of Peace and Security, U. S. Leader Pleads. By United Per** WASHINGTON, March 9.—Signatory nations of the Washington and London naval treaties should maintain their navies at full strength to preserve the “balance of peace and security,” Admiral William H. Standley. chief of naval operations, said late yesterdaj r in an address sponsored by the American Legion. “The peace treaty that closed the World war left many international difficulties unsolved, particularly in the Pacific and far east. Ail of the treaties which followed must be considered as a whole, closely and inextricably associated toward establishing among all nations a feeling of peaceful security,” the admiral said. “As it is incumbent upon each signatory government of the Washington and London treaties not to exceed- the limitations fixed by treaty, so it is, in my opinion, an implied obligation to maintaani its naval stregnth to fall below that level, the balance of the whole peace and security structure is deranged.” He said the United States has led the world movement of disarmament by example in the hope that other nations would follow, but that they did not. “Instead, today we find the world more of an armed camp than ever
