King George and Premier AsquIth
Express Poignant Sorrow
of Nation.
UNSUITABLE SHIP A MYTH
Best Traditions of the Sea
Observed by Personnel OF
the Titanic in Supreme
Moment.

London. April 16.-The King, in
message TO the White star Company,
and the Prime Minister, in the House OF
Commons. to-day appropriately ex-
pressed the nations sense of poignant
sorrow at a calamity which was i'm
pressed on the public mind almost in
an unprecedented manner, not only be-
cause Of the terrible nature Of the dis
aster to the Titanic, but by reason Of
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing II.
The first hopeful wireless messages
leading TO the belief that all had been
saved-the origin of which is now mat
ter Of anxious speculation-then the
sudden dashing of hopes tended in e
most dramatic way TO raise public in
terest to pitch Of the greatest inten-
sity.
As the day passed and the hopes that
there might prove to be further sur
vivors on other liners were gradually
disappointed, the British public began
slowly to realize the dreadful nature of
the catastrophe and the scenes of hor-
ror that must have occurred in the few
hours between the moment the liner
struck and that in which she went
down. and the anxious hours Of the sur
vivors IN the boats.
Many Pathetic Scenes.
Pathetic scenes were enacted all day
long at the Offices OF the White Star
where friends of those aboard the Titanic
had gathered, waiting for the dreaded
news. All other topics were completely
dwarfed. Parliament discussed Home
Rule but that question for the moment
hss no interest for n public face to face
with such an appalling disaster
Much satisfaction is expressed at the
large number OF women and children
among the survivors, as showing that
the best traditions of the sea have been
upheld. There is no disposition, pending
fuller details, 10 attribute blame In any
quarter, but every possible phase and
theory likely to throw light or give
guidance for the future is being dis
cussed, especially the question as to the
number Of boats and lifesaving appli-
ances carried aboard the big liners. In
this respect the calamity has brought a
revelation TO the public of unsupported
dangers IN ocean travel, which may be
calculated TO lead to the strctest inves-
tgation and, " possible, remedial meas
ures for its regulation
The crowds increased i'm density every
moment. Lines of automobiles and car
risges containing inquirers were so ex-
tended that the late comers We're unable

on all the steamship offices and on

The underwriters at LloyAs We're stag
gered at the news, but it is declared that
the insurance on the lost vessel is so
evenly distributed that none Of the
underwriters are likely to be hard hit.

i'm the ships when they went to sea. Al
though a large margin was then ieft, l
think I am correct in saying that the
Titanic carried number OF boats 80 per

the Board Of Trade rules.

Mr.. Carlisle also thought that the
Board Of Trade should make IT compul-
sorry 20 close the watertight compart-
ment doors of ships between sunset and
sunrise. He continued:
I have little doubt that sooner or later
when the travelling public Is not so fastid,
inus about going up and down stars ana
when they do not require w walk prac-
tically more than half the length or the
ship without opening a door and when the
Board of Trade makes II compulsory mol
10 have any watertight compartment open
either In the hold or between decks between
sLrSet and sunrise an enormous amount OF
risk at present existing in ships may end
ean be eliminated. If the points as to the
closing Of the watertiSht compartment
doors and the carrying Of hoqts are carried
out the public will be 80 per cent safer.
In response to a telegram of inquiry
as to- the number Of boats carried by
the Titanic and how many persons they
would accommodate, the White star
Company at Liverpool sends the follow
ing message: THE Titanic had twenty
boats which is in excess Of the official
requirements
The question Of the number OF boats
carried by steamers has been widely dis
cussed. 1t appears that the Board OF
Trade regulations permit reduction os
half in the number of boats. rafts ana

not apply TO iifejackets and similar ap-

This question has already been for
some time under discussion by the ad'
visory committee, composed of promi-
nent ship owners, and Board Of Trade
committee and certain recommenda
tions had been prepared, which have
not yet been made public.
