AS the first terrible shock OF the
Titanic tragedy passes, that compen-
sation which the law of life ordains
rises out of the encompassing dark
ness
For there is compensation in this
disaster and a noble consolation even
for those who are most cruelty
stricken
The loss of so many precious lives,
the anguish of SO many living hearts,
the waste and suffering of it all, are
heavy in the scale. But heavier still
by far is the pure gold Of heroic sac
rifice, the pure gold Of unfIihching
courage in the face of ghasLly death,
the pure gold Of love and devotion
which human nature poured SO gen
erously in the balance.
The beautiful tragic picture Of the
venerable couple, Mr.. ard Mrs. 1sa-
dore Strauss, with arms about each
other, waiting the end they had cho-
sen to meet as they had lived to-
gether, will not be soon forgotten
and there were other women who
would not go and others still who
went only because they were decelv-
ed, and others who went in anguish
because there was a higher duty to
live
There were the men who stood
back while the boats filled and death
rose to engulf them. There was AS
tor, who only a few months ago was
the object O the bitterest denuncia-
ton, and Aston was helping the Wo-
men and children into the boats,
5ravely cheering them-and waiting
quietly like true gentleman for
leath-Astor, who made good.
There was Butt, American soldier,
resolute, alert, working with the Of
icers of the ship to help the weak to
live, thinking of service, thoughtless
of SELF He showed how an Amerl-
can officer can die.
There was Phillips at the wireless,
Phillips who would not leave till the
dynamo was still and the decks

men with the proud challenge: BE
British, men, be British who gave
the proud order: women and chill
iren first and died nobly in the
great tradition Of the Anglo-Saxon

We know, too, though there is no
record, how the fighting reformer,
