'CREW OF TWENTY TY FEAR D LOS IN Lit KE SUPERIOR Steamer H. E. Runnels Pounded to Pieces by Waves but Crew Rescued --Jahn B. Owen Believed Foundered. A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says: -The steamer H. E. Run- nel, loaded with hard coal for Lake Linden, was pounded to pieces on the beach at Grand Marais on Friday, and there is every indication that the steamer John B. Owen, 'with its .crew - of twenty, has fouiiderecl off Manitou Island in the storm which is raging over Lake Supecior. The storm is declared by marine men to be the fiercest of the year, and snow, with wind, is adding to the perils of the graveyard of the lakes. The Runnels, which left the Soo westbound last Monday, went to pieces at 10 o'clock Friday morning shortly after coastgu..rcls had rescued e_. the fourteen men of her crew. The crew came ashore" in a coastguard lifeboat after battling with the waves, which had rolled over the ship stead- Iily for hours. One of the crew was hurt in the• :rescue work, but the exact extent of .the injury is not known by coast- ! guardm en. The Owen, it is thought, lost gut in a battle with, death after her hatches had been blown off and giant waves filled the ship. The number of men in her crew is'said to be twenty. Her Captain was George E. Benham. Word of the 'probable destruction of the Owen was brought to this city by 1 the steamer Wiipen, which passed the !locks downbound at 3.15.

A despatch from Washington says: -One of the most cheerful twenty minutes which President Wil- son has spent since his illness he thor- oughly enjoyed late on Thursday when the Prince of Wales called upon him at the White House. In describing this visit afterwards, Rear -Admiral Carey T. Grayson, the President's per- sonal physician, said the two had "a fine old time." President Wilson sat propped up_ in • eat old-fashioned bed, in which not only Abraham Lincoln had slept, but in which the Prince's grandfather, Edward VII., had reposed when he visited this country nearly 60 years ago. Even before Prince Edward knew of this his attention was attracted by the . great mahogany bed with its towering headbcarcl• He kept talking about it to the President. The President and his boyish caller laughed and joked the entire time, and Dr. „Grayson said afterwards there was no doubt that the visit put the President in splendid humor. It was something of a,family party, for the President asked many questions about King George, Queen Mary, and Queen Alexandra; all of which the Prince was, of course, able to answer in de- 99 tail. Hd brought the President many personal messages from; the Royal family. Prince Edward displayed genuine enthusiasm over his visit to the United States. He talked with the same boy- ish charm and lack of affectation that hag made so many Iriends. for, him here in Washington. Mrs. Wilson and Admiral Grayson remained in the room during the visit, and the Prince f also included theist in the conversation. Both area friends. of his, dating back to the days of the Prcwiclent's visits i to Paris and London. It developed to -day that when the Prince first arrived in Washington President Wilson sent him one of his 1 own books with the President's sign-; ature and some inscription written on the foreleg. The Prince to -day ex -1 pressed much 'appreciation over this thought. The Royal visitor was at the White House about forty minutes in all, half of which time he spent in an informal; tea with Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson and Mrs. Frances B. Sayer, an- other daughter of the President. Only two members of his personal staff, Ad- miral Halsey and Captain Lord Claude Hamilton, accompanied him to the White House.

Viscount Jellicoe, 1Iof Scapa Plow, summed up the lesson . which the great admiral believed had been taught the British Common- wealth by the experiences of the war.
