have been pitched back into the

dogfesh, and room made for de-
cent human beings.

Was saved, the owner throwing
it into a lifeboat before taking to
one himself, says the writer, and
meeting it again safe aboard the
Carpathia.
lsador Straus or William T.
Stead.or the artist, Millet, might
have occupied the space taken I'd
by the st. Bernard. A number
Of POmeranians getting in the
way in one boat might have been
cast out to make room for a rail-
road president or a military Of
ficer. According to the story
Airedale and Col. Astor were
both lost, so it seems that Mr..
Astor was not among those who
insisted upon taking their dogs
when 1900 persons must remain
on the sinking ship.
Presumably the story is fiction.
But it convicts the originator of
a point of view which, let US
hope, is peculiar. Nearly all
normal persons like dogs. No
body who owns a dog would like
to see it drowned, and it would
be creditable enough to tbs un-
selfishness and affection of a
dog owner if he, or she, should
try to save the dog at an increase
of personal risk. But burden
ing lifeboats with pets in the
presence of 1.6OO persons wait
ing upon the deck of ship to be
drowned would hardly be un-
Moreover it is hardly
conceivable that it would be al
lowed as long as there were
enough men in the lifeboats to
heave the dogs and the fools
overheard.
A dog will give up it's life for
its master. That is to say dog

and suffer the wreck of their

attribute that makes a dog

nealthy-minded human being, or
worthy of the respect and COM
oanionship of any real dog. :

URGES JEWS TO BE TRUE
Rabbis in Convention At Baltimpr
Praise Our Government.

The trend of American Judaism and
its aid in the preservation and growt
of the religion of Israel constituted the
message given Sunday to the central
conference of American rabbis by its
president, Samuel Schulman praised the
government at Washington for what it
had done on the Russian passport gu es-
ton. He said: eve glory in the ma me
of American Judaism, but it implies for
us nothing exclusive or provincial. y
As an indication of the effo rts
throughout the nations to strengthen
Judaism, Rabbi Gotthard Deutsch of
the Hebrew Union college, Cincinnati,
at today's session of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis, pointed
out that missionaries were being sent
to foreign fields in an effort to induce
Jews to hold fast to the Jewish faith.
In report by Rabbi E. N. Calish, of
Richmond, Va, chairman of the com
mittee on religious work in UNIVERSE
ties, strong objection was made to col
lege fraternities as subversive of dis
cipline, study and the democratic spirit
that should peryade American educ ca.
tional institutions.

Passengers Very Rich.
Untold wealth was represented among
the passengers Of the Titanic, there be-

whose fortunes might be reckoned in
tens of millions of dollars. A rough

coed $5o0,00O,O0O.

Most Elaborate Vessel Adoat-Titanic
Even Larger Than Olympic-A Tri-
umph Of Modern Shipbuilding-Its Is
Water-tight Bulkheads Were Thought
To Have Made Graft Unsuitable.

Southampton under the most suspicious

$4,000 tons of displacement and 1928
tons gross register were not her sole
claim to distinction, as the most elabor-
ate handiwork Of the shipwrights The
Titanic was the first steamer built with
private promenades in connection with
some Of her splendid suites.
The Titanic, like its sister ship, the
Olympic, possessed the great length of
Ss2 feet, s inches, and beam Of 90
feet, 6 inches. Over the boat deck the
Titanic s beam spans "a feet even, from
rail to rail.
-Four great tunnels rose 81 1-2 feet
above the upper mast deck, with total
distance Of IT'S feet from the top Of
the tunnels to the keel.
Thought to Be Unsuitable.
Fifteen watertight bulkheads divided
the great vessel, and it was claimed
these made her unsuitable, even though
half of her compartments should be
filed with water. Eleven steel decks
added to the Titanic's stanchness,
while an idea of the vast promenading
space may best be had when it is noted
that the main promenade deck alone
had an unbroken sweep of 100 yards on
either side Of the ship.
A Partisan cafe and palm room were
features Of this remarkable vessel.
Besides the main dining salon, which
had seating capacity for nearly 600
passengers, there was an la carte res
taurant, French service, seating 200 pas
sengers.
The size of the staterooms was one
of the remarkable features of the new
giantess Titanic. Varying from eight
feet to nine feet six inches in height,
they were all roomy. Some of the
two-berth cabins were II by 10 feet 6
inches in size.
Racket Court and Pool
A great swimming pool, squash racket
court, gymnasium, and the Turkish
baths were all closely together on a
lower deck, from which elevators car
ried the passengers to the various upper
decks.
As is her sister ship, the Olympic,
passengers on the Titanic descended the
grand staircase to the main reception
room, which, in turn, led into the great
dining salon, from which it was separ-
ated by glass.
Thre screws, propelled by turbine and
reciprocating engines, furnished the mo-
tive power of the Titanic.
