New York--Of all the sad phases OF
the loss of the Titanic none was more
pathetic than the final parting of the
wives and children on board the i'll
fated steamship from husbands and
fathers as they bade them q last fare.
well. All realized that the number OF
lifeboats was inadequate to provide
for half OF the passengers and before
they were launched all hope had been
abandoned for the arrival of aid be-
fore the Titanic went beneath the
waves.
Force had to be used by the officers
OF the steamship to tear wives from
husbands when it came time for the
women TO take their place in the life
boats that swung from the davits. The
women begged Ito he allowed to re
main and share the fate Of the men
who were left on board but no heed
was paid to their plea.
The last glimpse the women and
children got of their dear ones was as
the full complement of passengers
were placed in the lifeboats and they
swung out and dropped from view to
the waves below.
Equally tragic is the separation o!
families. both in this country and Eu

er winters stay in Europe and men
hurryiug to their homes after business
trips abroad are among those who
went down with the steamship.
Marine headquarters say the loss OF
IN Titanic is the greatest of marine
disasters. The estimated insurance
loss for hull, cargo, baggage and life
insurance is placed all the way from
$2O,00O,O00 to $4,000, 900.
British underwriters will have to
bear the greatest part of the loss.
though much reinsurance was placed
in Germany, and American underwrit

the loss on cargo. One Wall street

The vessel herself was insured for

II Of the making OF many books, tn
the sense Of printing them, there is no

ing would-be books Accepted manu-
scripts amount TO the tens OF thou

is myriad. This fact is generally
known. but attempts TO reduce the
knowledge 10 a statistical basis have
been few, says the New York Evening
Post. At the recent dinner OF the
Authors society in England the editor
of the Cornhill stated that OF all the
manuscripts offered 20 Smith, Elder
q Co, less than two per cent" were
accepted and published. This ratio Is
probably too low for the trade as
whole. Publishers Of the standing OF
the firm mentioned must have more
manuscripts sent 10 them than do
houses not OF so established reputa-
tion. and. more than this, would nat
urally be more fastidious than some
others about what they print. Both
these considerations would tend TO
keep low their proportion of accepted
offerings But even supposing the
average ratio to be 10 or even Is per
cent. one sees how great mass OF
writing never comes TO the types. and
