An outline Of the report which will be
made 10 the Senate by the committee
which inquired into the Titanic disaster
appears. with details OF the findings which
the committee Is now reviewing prior to
final submission. 1t would be surprising
II the committee returned a report in
other than the general terms set forth In
the advance account Of the findings. That
the vessel was not properly outfitted that
she was not manned with an experienced
crew. that her people had not been drilled
and trained TO the duties which pertain to
the saving of life in the supreme emer-
gency. and finally that she was sent
through a field of ice OF which warning
had been given. at high speed. which
vastly increased the risk of destruction
in case of impact-these facts have been
amply proved by the testimony given be-
81 ments made by passengers and members
of the ships company outside OF the in
quiry room.
The public is not concerned particularly
with the pacing of blame for this horror,
which Increasingly appears TO have been
due to an amazing lack of forethought
and good management. II is chiefly in
terested just now in the application Of the
lessons which the catastrophe has taught.

future and 10 provide safeguards not
