Terrible Aftermath to Sundays ReVeIry
on the Titanic.

Grenada Sentinel.
The more the public gets the facts
and circumstances surrounding the
sinking of the Titanic, the more it
becomes evident that somebody was
cruelty and wantonly reckless. There
seems to have been all sorts Of revel-
ry practiced on board the great ship.
Even the Sabbath before the wreck
seems to have been devoted to lurid
pleasures and devotions to Bacchus.
But evidently somebody failed at the
crucial moment. We would not de-
tract from the chivalry and valor dis
played by any in those two hours,
when men and women were standing
on the brink Of eternity and watery
grave, yet we cannot join in the SEN
tlmental tribute sought to be paid
unmeasured yalor and duty in asking
Congress to vote 100000 to erect a
monument to Col. Archie Butt. Peo-
pie too frequently allow themselves
to pay a slavish devotion to the ex-
element of the hour.

DAILY DIET AND
HEALTH HINTS
by DIR. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist
MoNoDIET IN TUBERcULo.

Sir Hiram Maxim, a leading
English authority on tubercuIo-
sis, says that pork and beans is
the best diet in incipient con-
sumption, and the theory Is be-
Ing tested at the Vermont state
sanatorium at Rutland. 1t Is
now well established that con-
sumption is a nutritional dis
ease, and that the best treat
ment Is that which relies upon
restoring normal nutrition by
natural means. If the theory
and practice Of the n1onodiet, as
set forth in these hints during
the past two years be correct,
it must follow that in any case
of lowered vitality and faulty
nutrition, the adoption of a sole
nnonodiet as prescribed by Hip
pocrates for consumption, gpat's
milk, or an approximate Mono
diet, like that suggested by the
distinguished English inventor,
must be superior to the "Iib-
ersI," indiscriniaately mixed
diet, but it does not follow that
pork and beans Is the best mon
odiet. A we'll balanced ration
with full supply of fat is es-
sential, and aIbumen easily as
simulated. Pork Is ssslmilated
with difficulty, and while beans
contain all the elements Of nu-
triton, yet they impose an IN
necessarily severe tax upon the
vitality for digestion. How
ever, 1t is encouraging to see
that the old idea that rich
diet Is advisable in sickness or
In health is being abandoned. An
important principle lof the NON
odiet frequently emphasized In
these hints is thus stated In

SHIP TOOK SOUTHERN ROUTE
photographic Office Says Titanio's
Course Was Regular One.

Washington, April 22.-"The popu-
lar impression that the Titanic was
not following the southern route when
she met disaster on April Ia is incor-
rect" says a statement made public
at the photographic Office of the navy.
Reference to the pilot chart for
April shows that the lane for the
spring months was the one along
which she was moving. This was ex-
actly upon the westbound track. The
impression that she was on the north
ern route may have arisen from the
fact that the westbound track which
she was travelling lies Immediately
north of the eastbound track. But
this is as it should be and agrees ex-
actly with the understanding entered
into by the various steamship COM
panies in 1898. Whether she should
have diverged to the southwark upon
being informed that Ice had been
sighted along the accepted routes Is
another question"

ANOTHER VESSEL
five M|LESAWAY
Fourth Officer Of Titanic Says
Signals We're Ignored.

Washington, April 23.-With succor
only five miles away the Titanic slid
into it's watery grave, carrying with
it more than 1000 of its passengers
and crew, while an unidentified steam
er that might have saved all failed or
refused to see the frantic signals
flashed to it for aid.
This phase of the tragic disaster
was brought out before the senate in
vestigating committee when J. B. Box
hall, fourth officer of the Titanic. told
of his unsuccessful attempts to attract
the strangers attention.
This ship, according to Boxhall,
could not have been more than five
miles away and was steaming toward
the Titanic. So close was it that
from the bridge Boxhall plainly saw
it's masthead light and side light.
Both with rockets and with the
Morse electric signal did the young
officer hail the stranger. Captain
Smith and several others in the vi
cinity of the bridge declared at the
time their belief that the vessel had
seen them and was signalling in re-
ply.
Boxhall failed to see the replies,
however, and in any case the steamer
kept on its course obliquely past the
Titanic without extending aid.
This, and the declaration by p. A.
S. Franklin, vice president of the
White Star line, that there We're not
sufficient lifeboats aboard the Titanic
to care for the ships company at one
time were the features of the hearings.
The official was quizZed throughout
the morning session on the messages
exchanged between the Carpathia and
himself after the ship had started for
New York with the Titanic's sur
vivors aboard. Among the survivors
was J. Bruce Ismay, managing direc-
tor of the line.

into the record was one from Mr.. Is

he believed it most desirable that the
survivors of the Titanic's crew be
rushed out of the country as quickly
as possible. He also. the message

the plan.
New York, April 23.-Winnowed
from among many pathetic stories Of

two clergymen who went down with

AMERICAN SENATE CRITICIZED
British Press Offended at GriIIing Of
Bruce Ismay

VIC tSHldJ.
London, April 23--The British press,
which severely criticises its own board
of trade and demands the most search
ing inquiry, declines to Judge the case
until the British inquiry is held and
displays feeling at the manner in
which the American inquiry is being
conducted and at what is regarded as
the unfair treatment of J. Bruce Is
may
The Morning Post, in an editorial,
protests against American and Ger
man papers branding Ismay as cow
ard and declares that it was clearly
his duty to live and help his company
to retrieve the disaster by facing the
music.
The Daily Express describes the
senatorial inquiry as a parody OF a
judicial inquiry, which it says is rather
calculated to swing public sympathy
heavily to the side of Mr.. Ismay and
the White Star company. The Ex-
press contends that Mr.. Ismay did
nothing disgraceful, yet is attacked as
though he played the part of shame.
full coward.
The Daily News says: I'VE have no
intention of prejudging the case or
initiating the hasty and often savage
verdicts pronounced in the United
States"
All the papers express satisfaction
that Lord Mersey has been appointed

has had wide experience in marine
affairs as the former president of the

Captain Marsh believes the apparatus

the water away from the vessel and
