RICH CARGOES
SALVAGED OFF
• IRISH COAST
PORTSALON, Ireland, Aug. 25
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
—Salvaging $35,000,000 worth of gold
ingots and bullion the White Star
t'
liner Laurentic is reported to have
carried when she was sunk the night
of January 25, 1917, off Fanad light,
-
one of the northermost headlands Of
Ireland at the entrance to Lough
Swilly, is being conducted by the sal
vage ship Racer.
The princely cargo lay at a depth
of twenty-two fathoms. The gold
and bullion were contained in the
strong chamber amidships rendered
almost impregnable by its thick steel
walls and heavily-bolted doors. At
first, portions of the Laurentic’s deck
were blasted away and a passage was
: i*
made clear for the divers. On June
C 20, the retrieving of the treasure
began.
The first bucket sent up contained
only copper pennies and a few silver
coins. Then for several days, bucket
after bucket' containing three or more
gold bars, each worth more than
$5,000, were hoisted to the surface
and dumped on the deck of the Racer.
The first of these bars brought lusty
cheers from the erewr of the salvage
ship, but tossing fortunes about soon
came to be merely another form of
manual labor to these sailormen.
* Most of the gold bars were nine
inches long, two inches thick and
four inches wide and weighed about
twenty-eight pounds. For days not
one was found as many of them wrere
hurled clear of the wreck by the
blasting necessary to make the strong
chamber accessible. Several feet of
sand have now been washed over
these scattered bars and beneath
masses of twisted steel and it fre
quently requires hours of patient
labor to pry them loose. The record
day’s haul so far had been forty
seven bars—worth approximately
$50,000. Thus far several million
dollars wrorth of treasure has been
salvaged.
rrhe Racer carries eigh t divers.
Their “tricks” are so arranged that
one diver is at work throughout the
day. Each works half an hour and
then must spend thirty minutes in
coming to the surface as otherwise
the sudden relief from the tremen
rdous deep-wmter pressure might
cause partial or complete paralysis.
They are brought up in ten-fathom
“hauls,” with ten-minute “rest” in- jx
tervals. :$
•V
When the day’s work is over, the jx
day’s “catch,” if considerable, is ijjj
V«
despatched to London with an armed jy
convoy.
When first built the Racer was a
square-rigged man-o’-war—one of the
“wooden walls of England,” as the
ships of the British navy at that time
were known—a century ago.
AUSTRIAN CAPITAL FACES I
WINTER WITHOUT FUEL |

VIENNA, Aug. 30 (Correspondence :j:j
of Associated Press).—Cool nights jjj:
and chill autumnal rains are begin- jjjj
fling to bring Vienna and all Austria jjj:
face to face with the fuel famine jjjj
that looms along with the food short- jjjj
age. Today this great city has a jjjj
reserve of only 9,000 tons. Not a jjjj
hospital has been able to arrange its jjjj
winter supply. jjjj
The government experts estimate jjjj
that with all available wood added to jjjj
the estimated coal supply the Vien- jjjj
nese householder this winter may jjjj
have about seventy-five per cent of jjjj
enough fuel to keep one cooking fire, jjjj
No one talks of heating. Warm jjjj
houses and hot water are among the j:j;
other 'luxuries unknown. jjjj
Czechoslovakia has coal for export jjjj
and contracts have been made by the jjjj
Austrians for all they can get, but jjjj
the delivery is slow and the whole j jjjj
matter seems clouded with difficulties :j:j
and complications. It is believed jjjj
means will be found to maintain the jjjj
Inter-allied express trains that now jjj:
run three times a week, but other jjjj
railway and river transport doubtless j jjjj
will be very limited. jjjj

We Are Responsible for All Damages to j!
Foreigners in Mexico Since 1910
i '
By SENATOR A. B. FALL—Debate in Congress
*——sssssssss:~~~— ——-— ■——-. 1.1 — __
The Calvo doctrine, as acknowledged and accepted
by Latin-American countries, provides simply this, b
effect:
No government shall be responsible for damages
to any of its citizens occurri during a revolution, or
by virtue of a riot.
No citizen of a foreign country sn«F’ ; ntitled
to collect damages against this government except as a
citizen of this country would be entitled to collect dam
ages. Under the Calvo doctrine, as it was presented
at The Hague tribunal and refused, we could not have
interfered diplomatically in Mexico to recover damages for any of our citi
zens, either for death or otherwise.
In 1913, prior to the recognition of Carranza when he proclaimed
himself first chief of the revolutionary forces, and when he was seeking
recognition, he issued a decree known as the Calvo decree, and in that
decree he pledged himself to us, because lie filed it in the state department
of the Uni ted States government, that immediately upon the success of •£
v his revolution he would go back to the year 1910, to the inception of the p
Madero revolution, and that he would, by a joint commission, ascertain
all damages done to any foreigner or to his property up to the time that
he founded his government substantially in the City of Mexico, no matter
from what source, whether by revolution or by riot ; in other words, that
he would not do as they had continuously done, put in a defense that the
damage had occurred by revolution.
But the decree of 1915, which the president sent to the senate, as
the foundation of his recognition of Carranza, repudiated the decree of
1913 and adopted the Calvo rule and we recognized him upon it; and what
is the consequence today? That we are bound by every rule not only of
morality but of international law to every government under the sun for
every dollar of damage done to any foreigner in the Republic of Mexico
from the time the revolution occurred in 1910 down to date, because the
secretary of state and the president of the United States called upon
France and Germany and Great Britain to yield to us in handling Mex
ican affairs, as was announced by the state department, and they yielded.
When they yielded Carranza’s decree agreeing to pay damages was
p. in full force and effect. We handled Mexican affairs, and when we recog
nized Carranza we recognized him under an absolute repudiation of that
decree. J $,
Have we not placed the Monroe doctrine at least in pawn to every
foreign government?
