TRUE TO TRADITIONS OF SEA Blue/ickets Would Accept No Reward for Their Part in Aiding Injured in Wreck. Several Indianapolis men were passengers on the New York Central train wrecked near Bat a via. X. Y. One of them, in describing the wreck, told tin? following story: "When I got into some clothes and ?*? * 4 w/.n 1 \1 a woc T got our to see wmii mc uvu. was surprised to s-.-f dozens of sailors as busy as bees helping en re for flu wounded and making people as comfortable as possible. It developed that our train was carrying two day coaches filled with bluejackets, and a few seconds after the crash came they were out of the cars and making themselves generally useful. "Some time later representatives of the railroad company came through the crowd settling with the passengers for slight damages. Some asked $50, others $100, and cheeks for the nmoun* asked were forthcoming. One big man said that J?l(JU wouiu IIIMMll Mjimn filings willi him, but added that Ihe check should he made out to "those sailors out there." Accordingly the check was drawn in favor of rhe men who had been working like Trojans ever since the crash, But? "The sailors refused to accept the money. "The check was then turned over to the Red Cross to be used in naval relief work." Uncle Sam Returns Glaeses. As several correspondents have already revealed by means of apprecii ative letters, the field glasses which the government was forced to "borrow" for the use of its sailors when it went into the war are beginning tc come back to their original owners? and to come back almost infinitely Increased in value by the murks of hard handling which lkiost of them bear. For thus these once prosaic utensils have been made into precious relics and souvenirs. Every mark and mat and stain on them is proof that they have helped to win the groat victory, and to have one of These war-worn treasures is also evidence thnt Its possessor made a willing sacrifice, small but real, when a need of his country was brought to his attention.?New York Times. j ?
