The most tingle moment of the tragic

The destroer looked 11 very small boat

It was a dlz7' Jump from the deck of

we heard the Otranto was trlng to put
lifeboats over the side, Willi some of the
men drowning as tiny tried to enter."
Miss nuth Gibbons, of Ardinore, N V.,

To-day is a business holi
day all day. If the tele
phone usage from residences
is cut to the absolute mini
mum throughout Saturday
and Sunday, evenings
as well as daytime,, the
remaining operating force
may enjoy periods of rest
which they must have at
once.
Given that rest, they will be
ready to tackle the new
week. There is every prob
ability that the number . of
absentees will continue to
increase for. several days to
come. The situation will
continue critical for some
time. Strict observance of
the order of the Director
