Children at Bedside.

Throughout the commander in
chiefs illness his son, Bramwell
Booth, chief of staff of the army, and
Mrs. Bramwell Booth gave their unre-
hitting attentions to him.
The aged evangelist died at his resi-
dence, the Rockstone, Hadleywood,
eight miles from London, where he
had been confined to his bed since the
operation. Present at the bedside
when the end came were Mr.. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth and their daughter
and son, Adjutant Catherine Booth
and Sergeant Bernard Booth; the gem
erals youngest daughter, Commiss-
sioner Mrs. Booth-Helberd, and Com
missioner Howard, Colonel Kitching
and DR.. Wardlaw Milne.
Public interest now centers in the
question of a successor to the late
commander. Under the constitution
of the Salvation Army the general
dominates his successor. This Gen.
eral Booth did several years ago, plac

Though nobody knows what name
the envelope contains, the general be

has been it's chief of staff.

Panama canal with it's consequent
shifting of the present day economic
balance is the belief OF Prof r. VI.

The possibility of any friction be-

mote that the English feel our pre-

canal will really marx a boundary OIL

The significant position the canal
will hold In relation to the English
world cannot he overlooked. The fact

GREAT TITANIC

LINER WAS MOST ELABORATE AS

FLOWED ATLANTIC.

London. April 1S.-The Titanic,
which sunk after striking an iceberg
of Cape Race. carrying many humans
to their death not only was the larg-
est ship ailoat, but was noted for the
wonderful innovations offered its pas
sengors 10y the builders.
When the hugeness OF the craft is
considered, it appears impossible for
it to founder under the worst kind OF
accident. yet its maiden trip appears
to be its last.
Larger even than the Olympic, which
had been considered marvel, il had
all the equipment required by persons
CT unlimited means that had been
omitted from it's nearest rival.

as the most elaborate handiwork Of

first steamer to be built with private
promenades in connection with some
of its splendid suites. The newest and
greatest ocean liners had been, in fact,

10 the Titanic TO provide the transat-
lantlc traveller with an actual private
residence, even to the exclusive prom
enade deck. without encroachins upon
the space OF the other hundreds Of first
cabin voyagers.
The Titanic. like It's sister ship. the
Olympic, possessed the great length of
feet 6 inches. over the boat deck, the
Titanic's beam spanncd "a feet from

Four great tunnels rose S1% feet
above the uppermost deck with a total
distance Of I75 feet from the top Of
the tunnels To the keel.
Appeared Accident Immune.
Fifteen watertight bulkheads divided
the great vessel, making it unsuitable
even if half Of it's compartments
should be filed with water. For this
reason it is believed the crash must
have torn away the greater part of the
bulkheads.
Eleven steel decks added to the Ii
tanic's stanChness. the mann promen-

sweep of 1870 yards on either side of the

were 17X1O feet inches in size. There
