TIE NATIONAL FORESTS.

President Taft has Just made consid-
cradle changes in national forests in

California through presidential pro-
carnations modifying the boundary
lines. BY these changes nearly 275.-

the forests, about $1,000 acres are
added. and about $4,000 acres are
transferred between two forests. while
a new forest is created by the division

NEW YORK, April 16.-Hope for

Monday morning off the Grand Banks

der Carpathia en- route to this city,

children, on the Carpathia, while even
the officials of the White Star line
admitted there was practically no
hope for the remaining 1,492 of the
ships company of 2,85S souls.
That all would have had chance
of safety had there been life boats
and RATS enough, was the general
belief of navigators. But the liner,
newest and greatest of transatlantic
ships. carried only twenty large,
modern life boats. and they were load
ed to the gtlnwales with the women
and children who, in accordance with
the unwrritten law of the sea, ha1
been put over the side first.

one Straw to Cling To.

=
One scant hope that was clung to
by the line officials that there might
be survivors unaccounted for, came
from the deduction that the steamer
had drifted some "a miles between
the time she struck and the time she
sank. There was chance that some
of the life boats or the life RATS
that were lowered first might have
drifted away and not been reached
by the Carpathia. Although admitted
ly only straw, it was clung to both
by relatives of those whose names
were not included in the list of sur
vivors which was sent to this city.
That most of the women and children
were in the boats picked up by the
Carpathia was believed by marine
experts here to indicate positively that
the iron discipline of the merchant
marine was maintained to the last.
Captain Smith of course, his friends
say, went down with his ship.
Reports from the stations along the
Nova Scotia coast say that the wealth
er off shore today was foggy and that
there was heavy thunderstorm last
night which travelled eastward. The
weather conditions, it was frankly
stated, left little hope of rescuing any
survivors that might still be afloat.
The wireless people admitted they
were unable to get messages to any o.
the steamers in the vicinity. They
said that they had been unable to pick
up the Carpathia, although they had
many messages for the survivors who
were on board. They said, however,
/ that they we're trying to reach her by
a system of relays and hoped to do 81

A NIGHT OF
BLACK TERROR.
Darkness Redouhled the Horrors of
the Ocean When the Gallant Ship
Received Her Death
Blow.
THE WOUNDED GIANT
Unparalleled in History Were the
the Scenes Which Accompanied
the Founderins OF the
Titanic.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ] /
CAPE RACE. April 16. .-Unparallel-
ed in history, the scenes that accom-
panied the laundering of the Titanic |
on the ice strewn banks of New
Foundland were marked by intense
suffering and rare heroism, according
to the few disjointed and fragmentary
by the wireless operators along the
coast.
1t was a night of black terror.
Sunday had been cloudy and foggy,
but the great liner had been steadily
held on her course. Precautions were
taken to guard against accident, but
it seemed certain today that it was
necessary to keep considerable head
way on the giant vessel, so that she
would remain manageable. The
smash came at 1925 Sunday night.
Many of the passengers We're un-
/, doubtedly in their beds at the time,
! but all must have been routed out
! Immediately, as Captain Smith was
/ too experienced navigator to over
| look any precaution or to fail to
realize that the force of the collision
had inflicted mortal wound despite
the assertions he had made many
! times that the Titanic was unsuitable.
The Horrors of the Ocean.
1t was black night. the thick
muggy atmosphere SO peculiar to the
banks and the darkness redoubled the
horrors of the ocean. The ships
company, assembled on the great
decks of the floating hotel which was
SO soon to become the grave of many
of their number, could have had little
time to make their toilet. Many Of
the passengers must have been garbed
as they came from slumbers, carrying
only the wraps hastily caught up in
the moments that followed the horri
ple grinding of steel upon ice.
Signals We're burned, rockets, sent
up, as the wireless snapped out its
frantic appeals for help, while the
