CAPTAIN SMITH TAKES
CONTROL OF SITUATION.

One of the most stirring narratives
Of action and description Of scenes
that followed the collision was told by
l.. Beasley, a Cambridge university
man who was one of the surviving sec
ond cabin passengers.
"The steamer lay just as If she were
awaiting the order to go on again
when some trifing matter had been
adjusted" he said, but in a few min
utes we saw the covers lifted from the
boats and the crews allotted to them
standing by ready to lower them to
the water.
Presently we heard the, order: All
men stand back and all ladies' retire
to the next deck below
"The men stood away and remained
In absolute silence leaning against the
end railing or pacing slowly up and
down. The boats were swung out and
lowered from A deck. When they were
to the level of B deck, where al the
ladies were collected, the ladies got In
quietly with the exception of some
who refused to leave their husbands.
In some cases they were torn from
them and pushed into the boats.

CRASH CAUSES LITTLE
ALARM ON STEAMER.

But it was a, clear and starlight
night and the great ship sped through
the quiet seas with officers confident
that even though an iceberg should
be seen the vessel could be controlled
in ample time.
When the crash came there was
practically no excitement. Many who
felt anxious enough to go on deck to
inquire what had happened were but
little perturbed when they learned
that the ship had only struck an ice
berg" 1t appeared to be a glancing
blow and at first there was no indica-
ton of a serious accident.
The stoppage OF the engines was
noticed more than the collision, the
effect being, as one survivor put it,
like the stopping of a loud ticking
clock.
The ove confident passengers were
not brought to the slightest realiza-
ton that the collision might mean Sc
rious danger until the call ran through
the ship:
"All passengers on deck with life
belts on"

That cholera is decimating the peo- ple of Constantiuople is also certain and 1t is equally probable that star vation faces tens of thousands within that city. These known conditions will without doubt, soon combine to put an end to a war which has been remarkable Tn the suddenness with which Is was precipitated and the aerceness of the contests at arms that have followed,
 The frmness of the Balkan states and their allies, has prevented the European powers from intervening in the war. The allied nations almost at the very beginning of the con aict. served notice upon the powers that they would not submit to in, terference on their part, and that fact. coupled with the powers jeal. ousy of each other and their many conflicting interests, whose ramifca- tions are widespread, has deterred them from direct intervention. And added to all this is the attitude of Great Brltant, Prime Minister As quith having recently declared in q public address that the Balkan states should not be deprived of the fruits of their victory.

AS TO FIRE PROTECTION.

There can be no valid argument raised against the necessity of pro vidiug adequate fire protection for any town. no matter where it is To- cated.
 Usually in Alaska communities it Is one of the first cares os the munic- ipality. There is too much at stake for tho people generally too overlook or ignore the dangers of fire. There are not many business men who are able to carry their own insurance that is. take their own risks. while the better the fire protection. both in equipment and water supply, the lower the insurance rates.
 These are facts that cannot be dis. puted. and We submit that the state ments herein set forth are worthy of the careful consideration of the cit. izens of Juneau. This town has in, creased in population largely during the past few months, and the prom ise Of the present is for much larg. CT population within the coming year.
 And it seems to The Empire that it is always a good plan to take time by the forelock.

TIE PROBLEM OF LIVING.

The Democratic national platform lays much stress upon the tariff and the trusts as the fundamental causes of the increased cost of living in the United States. That these are contributing causes rather than basic, We are in- clined to believe. A casual study of economic conditions in Europe shows that the people of Germany and those of Great Britain are also confronted by desperate economic conditions, and similar conditions may be said to ex- ist in nearly every other European country. or course Germany has a high protective tarifr while England is partially at least on a free trade ba- sis. But the conditions in highly pro tected Germany are worse than those of England. Evidently, however, there are other causes for the high cost of living when it's phenomena are obsery- able pretty much everywhere !n the civilized world. lt Is the uniyersality
 the condition that causes economists to look for universal causes.
 There is small Questaion, perhaps, that under-production Of necessities is one cause, although the United States, this year, produced 3,17O,OO0,- 900 bushels of corn, and crops gener- ally were the largest in the history of the country. Yet prices have not dropped.
 Intimately connected with under production, which some economists point to as the real cause of high food prices, all the heavy costs of dlstri- button that have grown up in mod ern times and which are such as to put heavy tax on the consumer and a great problem of today 1t would seem, is to bring the producer and the consumer into closer cOmmunica- tion.

Now we can do our Christmas shopping on buoyant legs, with minds serene.

Relieved of all the hurly-burly, the screams of war ring candidates, we'll do our Christ mas shopping throughout these wide United States. How sweet 1t is to go a-walking, and hear no wrangling, near or far, no arguments or tiresome talking of income tax or l. and R.! How pleasant when the local daily prints something else than campaign junk! We'll do our Christmas shop ping gaily, and buy enough to i'll a trunk! How sweet to see men safe ly, sanely, pursuing tasks well worth their while, instead of thrashing "is- sues" vainly, dispensing language by the mile! Farewell to foolish yawp- ing, to tiresome men with tiresome jaws; it's time to do our Christmas shopping and put in licks for Santa Claus! WALT MASON.

THE MOTION PICTURE.

But beyond the revolution the mo- ton picture has worked in the mat ter of optics, comes the development of the movies" as means of enter tainment. It has spread to a degree unheard or Never can the legit- innate" theatre hope to reach as many people in a week as the moving picture film reaches in day. The great mass of people now has it's playhouse, which may be nothing else than made. over storeroom. As soon as the nov ing picture man begins to turn the crank all the joys of the world are flashed before the observers eyes.
 To keep this great educational force clean should be one of the objects of the state. America has taken the lead in film production, which speaks well for the tendencies of moving picture audiences for most of the American films are clean, and breathe of the outdoors. Such a vast force for public good or evil should be kept above reproach. Infinite capac- ities for good or evil turk in the movies" and the evil should not be allowed to creep in.

KODIAK ISLAND suFgagasq


 IT the statements of Kodiak island men are to be taken at their face value. a condition of affairs exists among the native and creole popula- ton there that is not at all to the credit Of the government officials To. cated on the island
 The statements that are published in The Empire today have been youched for by supposedly reputable and truthfulful men. recently from Kodiak. But there are usually two or more sides to every story that is told. Sometimes the information supplied does not come from reliable sources; often it is the result of prejudice and not infreQuently of a misunderstanding Of the facts, or through ignorance.
 When, however, the flat statement is made that hundreds of people are destitute. or in immediate danger of being destitute, it is time to take mo- tce of their allegations.
 It need scarcely be pointed out that native peoples usually become extra ordinarily helpless in the stress of a great calamity. And 1t is also need less 10 say that a great calamity has overtaken these people.
 It seems. however. almost incred. ible that officials of the United States government even though they occu- py minor positions, should permit such conditions. as it is alleged. exist. without endeayoring to alleviate them in a practical way. especially when there are funds and radons. furnished by a generous hand, to meet the exig, ency
