THE cable despatch from Havre an
nouncing that the French Government
was determined to press the prosecution
against brutal survivors of the steamship
La B~ourgogne. is calculated to arouse
bitter moekery among sane people. The
further announcement is made that nine
teen Austrian sailors have been held and
arraigned before a magistrate; but there
Is not a word to say that the cowardly
and murderous brutes who made up the
crew-in large part. If not aitogether-are
to be brought to justice.
The fact is the prosecution is a purely
commercial affair, designed to delude the
public and secure continued patronage by
travellers for the French line.
