Although the men's lives are jeop- . ardized, the tragedy is that the anx- jous Coast Guard stood by helpless tonight, because it has no idea of the location of the ice field, and _ therefore cannot institute an attempt at rescue. Shores Patrolled Through the long cold night 20 men irom the Buffalo Coast Guard Station under Captain Paul Foruer, and five men from the station at Niagara-on-the-Lake, summoned for the emergency, patrolled the Cana- dian and American shores, peering ---- She Gained Weight With McCoy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets You remember of course--not so long ago she was a regular scare- crow--skinny is a mild word for the way she looked, Vast look at her now--if ever a woman had a perfect figure she has jt--she is the envy of half the girls in town, It's nothing to get excited about --all she did was to take on weight «filled out the hollows in face, neck and chest--any skinny, weak, run down woman can do the same and in a clean, clear complexion at the same time.

A. Hare 3 King St. W, Phone 838 ner received two telephone calls from Canadian lake shore residents at 4 o'clock this afternoon saying seen the men fi aud the shore ice, Several more r calls followed. All agreed, Capt. For- ner declared, that at least ten men were carried away with the field, Capt. Forner and several men made a trip to Windmill Point by automobile, arriving just before dark. The ice field was not visible and any attempt at rescue in a small boat at that time would have proved futile, Capt. Forner said. Carvied Ten Miles The Coast Guard official estimated the men were fishing about three miles off shore when the break came. When he arrived he voiced the opin- jon that the southwest wind had car- ried the field out into the lake at least six miles, Later the wind shift- ed to the north, and the field late tonight was being carried south across the lake ten miles or more from the Canadian shore, in the opinion of Capt. Forner, Death may ride in on the wings of that north wind, not a strong, but a steady blow, for it is carrying that great field of ice, on which those hardy fishermen probably are hud- dled around a small fire, out into the middle of Lake Erie. Rescue Will Be Difficult Rescue, it was admitted by Capt. Forner, will be exceedingly difficult, because of the shift in the wind and the barriers of ice that will be en- countered. Had the southwest wind prevailed throughout the night, the field in all probability would have been blown toward the mouth of the Niagara River) There would have been an excellent chance for rescue in that event, the Coast Guard Commander declared, Capt. Korner does not know the identity of the fishermen, Neither did the lake shore residents who no- tified him of their plight, It is be- lieved they are all from the vicinity of Long Point, men who risk death each winter through breaking ice, blows and blizzards, in pursuit of a living as fishermen, The intense cold of the ice floe is the greatest menace in the event a speedy rescue is not effected, The fishermen carried wood to kindle their small fires and warm their hands, but it is believed they car- ried only enough to last them throughout the day, The fish will serve as a food supply, but if the fuel supply becomes exhausted there is little hope of rescuing all the men alive, Capt, Forner declared, Toward Port Colborne One of the first persons to dis- cover the plight of the men was Ora Loomis, Crystal Beach Council man, who was watching them through field glasses from the Crys- tal Beach shore, "Suddenly the ice on which the men were fishing broke away," Mr Loomis said tonight, "They were fishing in pairs and singly, at least ten of them. The large field started moving toward Port Colborne, 1 watched for a few minutes, then no- tified the Coast Guard.

Later in the day five Indians were arrested and lodged in Oraugeville jail charged with the offence. Aiter the men had left the Barclay home, the son, groggy from the at- tack, in his stocking feet and half clad, walked a mile to the home of the nearest neighbor, William R. Gray, and telephoned Provincial Constable Joseph Nelson here. A posse was organized and the hunt started for the marauders. The five Indians were arrested on the farm adjoining the Barclays, where they were emplyed cutting lumber for Milton Kaufman. The men, who were under the influence of rub: bing alcohol it is said, gave tneir names as Hardy Doxatator anl his brother, Charles Roy Williams, Sam- uel Elijah and Cornelius Days, This morning's outrage, Barclay claims, is the culmination of some trouble the younger Barclay had with two Indians on Thursday, when they insisted on staying for the aight. He refused and a scrap took place. Bar- clay swore out a warrant for the ars rest of Elijah on a charge of as- sault, and the accused was to have been taken into custory today, Dr, C, I. Scott, of Oraugeville, called to attend the victims of the attack, reports both women suffer ing from sever shock. George Bar- clay suffered from severe bruises and fave lacerations and Leith Barclay bruises, abrasions and a sprained back. { THERE IS NO HELL, DR. FOSDICK ASSERTS New York, Jan, 25--The old idea | of hell as a fiery pit, biblical stories | like that of Jonah and the whale, | and the fiat theory of creation are all examples of the ephemeral side of Christianity, the Rev, Dr, Harry Emerson Fosdick told members of the congregation of the Park Avenue Baptist Church, in his sermon Sun- day, What really matters are the "reproducible experiences" of reli- gion, he said, which can be repedted over and over again in every century, and with many different types of intellectual formulation, "Everything changes about reli gion except religion," said Dr, Fos- dick, "Our thoughts of God have changed, In the early days he was thought of as human in size and shape, Today, with our knowledge of the immensity of stellar space, we can no longer conceive of him in an anthropomorphir guise, For sim- ilar reasons our view of the relation- ship between God and the world has changed. We no longer think of him as meeting out divine justice from a Heaven in the sky, or sending souls to a hell underground.
