GRIM TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
Many Vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Are Constant Menace TO
Navigation.

There is a grimness about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni
ted States revenue cutter service,
weighed anchor and steamed out OF
New York harbor to search for dere-
licts OF the seven-day storm which
ended recently. Vessels that have been
abandoned at sea, unless deliberately
destroyed, continue to be a menace to
shipping for a long period following
their abandonment. For many years
Il was customary for sea captains, on
coming into port, to report such dere-
licts as they had observed during a
voyage, and the government published
charts in which the position of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, In order
that sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them,
There was at one time some talk OF In
ternational cooperation in the task OF
clearing the sea of these floating
ships. but nothing came Of It. and the
United States government finally
took the matter up on It's own account.
being for long time the only govern.
ment which did so. and presumably II
occupies that position to this day. The
vessels designated as derelict destroy
ers are specially fitted out with dyna'
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to
navigation, and the significance OF the
departure of the Seneca lies In the
fact that the storm Of last week is
supposed to have caused many wrecks
of Hatteras and along the coast Oh
the Carolinas.

great campaign for civilization has
been based.
Press reports indicate that the
Italian army has been merciless in
its slaue liter of Turks. More than
5000 Arabs, taken ss prisoners of
war. are said to have been executed.
Some of these are reported to have
been herded into enclosures and shot
down under the pretense that they
were not prisoners of war.
Surely Italian officers have not
permitted the atrocities reported in
some dispatches from Tripoli. No
civilized army merits the respect of
other world powers il it permits
massacre under the conditions re-
ported. 1t is pleasanter to believe
that the reports have been based on
transformation. -Tennesseean.
