The paper continues “The overwhelmingly strong inter- of Japan in this part of the world, is of course, apparent from a slance at the map. Japan is a high- ly organized trading nation and is di- arectly interested in the maintenance of general peace and order in the where her economic relations close and which are supremely necessary to her welfare.

Fortesce Flamery Calls Attention of Geddes to Act 'SAVED SHIP SURVIVORS Jackies Aboard Parker lLeaped Over- board and Brought Rcefugees to Safety—Previously Commended By Vice Admiral Sims. London, March 13—Sir J. Fortescue Flannery, member for the Maldon di- vision of Essex, announced today that he would call the attention of the first lord of the admiralty today to remarkable heroism and seaman- ship displayed by the American crew of the destroyer Parker in rescuing nine survivors, including the navi- sating officer, of the hospital ship Glenart Castle, sunk in the Bristol channel late in February. The member said he would that the admiralty suitably nize the skili of the navigator of the ker and the gallantry of the ight American sailors who jumped into the sea and swam to the rescue of survivors on rafts and wreckage. The Glenart Castle sank at 4 | o'clock on the morning of February 26. The destroyer, far distant, picked up a wireless message and hurried to the scene, where she searched tho choppy sea for stirvivors. The first one was sighted at 1 o’clock in the afternoon—a lone man on a raft, ‘Unabic to Halt. In these submarine-infested waters it was impossible for the Parker to | halt and launch boats. She threw a {line to the survivor but he was so weak that he became entangled in the line and was carried astern of the destroyer and severelv cut by her propellers. He managed, however, to climb back on the raft. The destroyer circled the scene and as it passed the raft again Quarter- | master J. C. Cole jumped overboard and brought the man back to the de- stroyer. He fireman—Jesse White, of Southamptan. He died later on board the destrover, which con- tinued her search and later three more groups of Survivors ing to rafts and wreckage, all of whom were similarly rescued. Congratulated by Sims. In congratulating the crew of the *arker, Admiral Sims, caommander of .the American naval forces in the war zone, telegraphed: “The work done in wintry seas and suggest recog- was a inspiring, but none more than the Parker's. One of the survivors who was res- cued late in the afternoon said he sighted submarine while struggling in the water. The U-boat passed with- in a few yards of him. There werc {wo Germans on deck. He hailed her and asked far help but the Germans paid no attention to him. The official Teport of the sinking of the ship on which it is estimated 153 persons lost their lives announced that survivors had been landed by an American torpedo destroyer, the name of which was not given. In all, nine survivors were rescued by the Parker of whom one died on hoard the destroyer. All were landed Wales.
