GREAT LAKES ARE HAZARDOUS Navigation Is Fraught With Danger, . in Spite of Great Surveys Mado by Government. Summer after summer the fleet of the U?ke survey Halls the broad expanse of the Ave lake# and the seore of bays and Inlets searching for danger apots that may claim their heavy toll of hu man life and vessel tonnage. Since 1841 the United States govern ment has been silently carrying on this work, a Herculean fight against th<; Jagged reef and the unseen shoal that menace navigation. Sounding lines have been plunged Into black depths of 05,000 square miles of water; and still today there are areas that have not been charted In which passing barks may founder, says the New York Sun. Three of the five steamers that com pose the flotilla carry crews of 22 men. The two other boats are smaller, hav ing but ten or twelve men for a crew. Probably no frequented waterways in the world are so hazardous as the Great Lakes. At no time is a steamer on them more than a comparatively few hours from shore and periodically fierce storms arise, fully as violent as those experienced on the ocean, which play with the steel ships, battering them helplessly about, threatening to engulf oc sweep them ashore. Over $5,000,000 has been spent by the government since 1841 for the pros ecution of the work of charting the lakes. Locked in heavy timbered boxes, protected from fire in immense vaults in the old post office building, Detroit, are over 1,300 field charts, dat ing back to 1818. when a survey of Lake Erie was made by officers of the Iiritlsh navy. With few exceptions the maps are the result of the scientific researches of United States officers and surveyors. Mystical Slav Temperament. A deep religious instinct seems to be inborn with the Slav peasants, both Russian and Pole, according to the Christian Herald. The only difference is the form of his religion, for prac tically all the Poles are adherents of ! the Church of Home. With both raeeq | religion and patriotism are closely in- i terfwined. The Slav temperament ' seems to be particularly susceptible to 1 religious Impressions and devotion to ' the church reaches a degree for which it is difficult to Hud analogies in any I other part of modern Europe. In the J daily life of the Polish peasant the name Christ and the Virgin will be heard repeatedly. He would not think of living in a house that had not been ltles<?.(l by a priest. A manufacturer would find It difficult to keep his hands if the factory had not been blessed. A theater wotjId die from lack of patron age if the priestly blessing had been denied the building. The Pole is probably the most faithful of all the adherents of the Church of Rome. h will probably 1h? a month l>efore the war tax bill becomes law. WHOLE STATE AIDING IN LIBERTY BOND CAMPAI "BUY A BOND FOR BABY" SLOGAN IS POP! GOVERNOR MANNING SETS EXAMPLE-ALL BANKS LENDING AID. ? Columbia, 8. C.?Special.?One of the greatest exhibitions of applied pa triotism which this state has witness ed in many years Is now being dis played in the great drive for the sale of 18,500.000 of the Liberty Loan bonds. People from every walk of life, capitalists, bankers, merchants and farmers are subscribing to the ls? sue which Is to finance the war for liberty which the United States Is now waging. All banks have opened their doors to applications for the bonds; so that any person who desires the bonds has only to go to any bank In his town where his application will be immedi ately entered. The American people, and especially the farmers and mer chants of the South, have not been a bond Investing people to any extent; but under the drive of 'patriotic enthu siasm, they have rallied to the Liberty I-roan idea by the hundreds of thous ands; and small wage earners every where have responded with every manifestation of eagerness. Thlg has extended to the utmost farm districts of the state. Local committees have been organized in every community; men In automo biles have volunteered to see every farmer of any means in the entire farming districts and these have been followed up by salesmen of various kinds who have gone so far as to pro duce the application blank and secure the farmer's signature. The "Buy a Bond for Baby" slogan has become popular in thousands of homes. Governor Manning himself showed the way by subscribing for twenty bonds, one each for himself, his wife, a daughter, seven sons and ten grandchildren. Following his lead, parents in every direction have in vested In the bonds for their chil dren to serve as a foundation for a sav ings fund for the little tots, to be added to in years to come. Practically all the big corporations of the state have arranged plans whereby their employees could secure the bonds by having small sums de ducted weekly from their pay enve lopes. Many merchants in the larger towns have established booths In their stores at which applications blanks rould be signed and information ae cured. Most banks have worked out plans where by the bonds could b* bought on the installment plan. One of the greatest contribution^ to the campaign which has yet been instituted has been the action of ttoe Insurance men of the state, both life and fire, and the commercial travel* era In donating their R?rvlet* salesmen for one or two days to oauae of the bonda. These men h made a personal can raw of the * in practically every town, going ft ?tore to etore and home to hous? an effort to secure subscriptions. 1 movement was originated by Cw D. Jones, of Columbia, president the State Underwriters' Aasociatk and waa put in operation under i supervision of a committee of wtl Fred 8. Munaell is chairman. 1 other members of this committee James A. Cat heart, John W. LUli T. Hale Dick, W. S. Henley, George Dial, Jesse T. Reese and A. S. Q lard. Due to the efforts of thess men, i allottment of -bonds for the state constantly dwindling; and their forts will be continued until the cJi of the campaign on June 15. The campaign has also had and still having the utmost cooperation the women's clubs of the state. 1 numerous organisations have contrf ted their, time and efforts wlth< stint; and women and girls hate b? conspicuous in all the movement* behalf of the bonds. Especially June 5 was this true, at the tit when all those around the regiat tion places were given bond Jfte ture by prettily dresaed girls. Although June 6th was officially d ignated as Liberty Bond Day, which there should be definite effoi to secure a subscription from en man in the state, the campaign 18 no means over. It will not endf.un June 16, the day upon which si scriptions cease. There will, the fore, be no diminution of efTort on t part of the numerous committee# w have the promotion of the sales charge. It is earnestly dsslred by t government and by the Liberty Lo Central Committee for South Ci llna that the allottment of $8,600,1 which has been assigned to this eti be several times oversubscribed. T effect of having this bond issue or subscribed will have the same moi effect upon the enemy as a great < feat; and this is what is trying to secured. Lfberty Bonds are the strong security that any man may own. Ti have the backing of the great eat P ernment on earth, they are absolati secure, the money thus darl?ed to be used in fighting ths battles oft government.
