wireless dispatches posted on the
bulletin board remove the old feeling
Of isolation.
But still you can never obliter-
ate the common sense fact that no
human power can wholly assure safe
~ when ship is driving ahead Is o.
20 miles into thick darkness. where
no human eye can tell what lies just
behind the grey wall of dripping mis-
The newspapers have been full of
articles for some years telling how
danger had been eliminated at sea.
The old Joke about the sailor in a
storm who pitied the poor Iandsmen
with the chimneys falling about them
has seemed to have a good deal of
point
The great ships have been com
ing and going with such monotonous
regularity, that crossing the Atlantic
seems safer and probably is safer,
than crossing the automobile infested
streets Of New York to reach the
docks.
But as long as our restless human
nature viii persist in driving as fast
when you can't see as when you can,
the triumphs of modern science will
not make the prayer for those that
go down to the sea in ships Who'll

GREAT SHIP
WOULD NOT
AID TITANIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.-
With succor only five miles away the
Titanic slid into it's watery grave car
rying with it more than 1 800 of its
passengers and crew, while an I'M
identified steamer 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 on Monday before
the senate investigating committee
when J. B. Boxhall, fourth officer
of the Titanic, told of his unsuccess-
full 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 BoxhaH plainly saw
it's masthead lights and side light.
Both with rockets and with the Mors
hail the stranger. Capt. Smith and
several others in the vicinity of the
bridge declared at the time their be-
lief that the vessel had seen them
and was signaling in reply. Boxhall
failed to see the replies, however, an
in any case the steamer kept on its
course obliquely past the Titanic
without extending aid.

GOING To SPRING.
FIELD MISSOURI

George Otto, the well known mail
| carrier, formerly connected with the
Post office in Grand Rapids, who re
signed said position several years a
go, for the purpose of taking a course
in the Chiropractic Institute at Day
export, Iowa, is in the city visiting
with his family and friends. We un
derstand that he has resigned his pc
sition as manager of the Chiroprac-
tic college at Davenport, Iowa, and
decided to go into the practice of
his profession at Springfield, Mo,
Ia city Of forty-five thousand popula-
ton. George was offered a nice in
crease in salary to remain as mana
ger OF the institution at Davenport,
but he felt that it was too combining
and desired to go out into the field
and practice his profession. George
he had always been here in Grend
Rapids, in all the positions he ever
held. George is one of those men
of sterling worth, uprightness, eff
cient and conscientious in the dis
charge Of any duty. We have known
him since boyhood and take special
pleasure in commencing him to the
good people of Springfield, Mo-, as
being fully worthy of their confidence
and esteem. He is well versed in
his profession and in every respect
a good citizen, that can be trusted
and never found wanting. His many
friends here at home wish him well,
in his undertaking in the city of
Springfield. He expects to leave for
that city On Friday of this week, go
ing via Chicago. His wife and fami-
ly will continue to reside here at
Least until vacation time which will
be until June.

SPEED At SEA

The peril from icebergs in the
North Atlantic, which has just re
suited in the horrible Titanic disas-
ter, might be aVerted if travellers
were willing to spend a day or so
more for a route farther south.
The risk could also be much reduc-
ed if it was permissible to run at a
very slow speed through fogs. But
as any steamship company that adop.
ed that practice would find that its
passengers would rather gain a
half day than be safe, such precau-
tions are not likely to be adopted.
To the landlubber journeying over
the lonesome wastes of old Atlantic,
there is a weird undertone of fear as
he listens to the grim boom of the fog
whistle The luxury and power of
the ship gives such an impression
Of all-conquering force that the girls
ly face of death that turks out on
the waters may seem remote. The
