TO plane of power or wealth.
One Of the latest stories told is that
Of jerome J. Hanauer, who in twenty
years. and without anybody to boost
him, has climbed from the post OF
Office. boy TO "A partnership in one Of
tho best banking houses in New York.
And how did he do it.? He has been
asked that question. and he has given
his recipe that other lads may follow
t.
DO whatever you are told. " he said,
"and do II to the best OF your ability
don't growl because somebody else
does not have to work as hard as you
do or gets dollar or two more a
week; stay IN, Que place and done
keep changing; and. above all things,
don't watch the clock"
Here is a young man who had done
what so many other young mon as
piire to do made a successful man
out of himself That his SUCCESS is
due TO the fact that he followed the
rules that he has laid down for others
there can be no doubt II is in har-
mOny with all the commonscnse mt
terances Of mon who have attained the
same sort of success; II is IN line with
tho experience OF all who have fought

still here and that the chance Of mod

BRUCE ISMkY IS EXONERATED
BRITISH COMMISSION REPORTS
ON TITANIC WRECK.
Opinion is Expressed That Californian
Could Have Saved Almost all
the Victims.

London, July 31.-Excessive speed
caused the loss of the Titanic, in the
opinion of Lord Mersey, who, as chair
man of the English commission of in
quiry has made his report public,
Arrangements for launching and
manning the great liners lifeboats
were improper, insufficient and made.
quate, his lordship said, and though
the boat drill itself was good, as was
discipline at the time of the wreck.
more lives would have been saved
had the organization been better.
The charge that Sir Cosmo Duff
Gordon brbed the crew of his life
boat to row away from the drowning
was held to be unfounded.
Bruce ISmay, managing director of
the White Star Company, was under
no moral obligation to remain aboard
the Titanic until the vessel sank, ac-
cording to the commissions findings,
and had he done so, the only result
would have been the needless loss of
another life.
The lookout for ice was inadequate
the report says. Extra lookouts
should have been stationed at the
masthead and at both ends of the
bridge. The evidence shows, the re-
port adds, that the practice of steam
ing at full speed ahead through an
ice field, at night, was bad. but under
the circumstances the commission
feels unable to blame Captain Smith,
who, though he made a grievous mis-
tae, cannot be held guilty of neglect.
Investigators are convinced that the
lights sighted-by the Californian were
the Titanic's and the opinion is eX-
pressed that the Californian could
have pushed through the ice without
serious risk and saved many if not
all of those on board the sinking YES
sci.
