BRITISH TITANIC REPORT.

the report Of the British Board Of
Trade inquiry upon the Titanic dis
aster. In general, the findings OF
that inquiry, presided over by Lord
Mersey, coincide with those of the
U. s. Sepate committee of inquiry
upon the same disaster.
The court finds that the Titanic was
destroyed by collision with an ice
berg, and that this collision was due TO
excessive speed, and that a proper
watch was not kept, tnat the ship s
boats, though properly lowered, were
not sufficiently manned. and that If
they had been properly filed more lives
might have been saved. The court
finds, also, that the track followed by
the Titanic was reasonably safe with
proper vigilance, but that this vigilance
was not exercised.
The curious feature Of the finding is
that J. Bruce Ismay, chairman and
managing director of the White Star
line, which owned the Titanic, who
WAS On lUc snip anu lo'h oNNooiSh w
save his own life, is exonerated from
all blame, this undoubtedly on the old
sea~going theory that the captain Is
supreme upon his ship. But this
theory neglects an important feature of
modern navigation, which is that cap
tains are subject more than formerly to
the orders of the managers of steamship
companies; and that when a high
officer in such company, such as MI.
Ismay is in the White Star line, di"
reefs a captain TO do certain things,
that captain must either do those
things or be discharged, There is, to
be sure, no evidence other than pre-.
sumptive that Ismay's presence upon
the ship had any controlling influence
upon Captain Smith And yet the con-
sensus of opinion unquestlonaply is
that his presence was the leading
factor in keeping the Titanic up to top
speed in order to make a record. 1t
is practically certain that except for
Ismay's presence upon the Titanic,
Captain Smith would have slowed up
when he received the warnings Of
dangerous ice ahead.
Lord Mersey also exonerates Sir
Cosmo Duff Gordon from any charges
of improper conduct. Duff Gordon and
his wife were alleged to have bribed
the sailors in the boat in which they
were saved to row away, although the
boat could have contained a number
more persons, the report being that the
Duff G ordons were so excessively selfish
and fearful for their own safety that
they would not allow the sailors to row
back among the victims struggling in
the water so as to save what they
could have safely taken on board
All in all, the American people may
Justly congratulate themselves upon the
comparative thoroughness and i'm.
partiality of Judgment shown by our
Senate committee in it's investigation.
That investigation was clearly a more
searching one than the British investi.
cation, and our committee S report was
more comprehensive, as the results of
it are more creditable to humanity and
more conformable to the facts OF the
disaster as given by the survivors while
the horror was fresh in their minds,
than this British report is, Judging

headquarters of the organi 4ation. For

with broomsticks, STATS and variety
of guns Now every scout is to be arm

OF course, the scouts will not be al
lowed to use the guns except when in
charge of competent instructors. They
will be taught to know and to respect
firearms and will be shown how to avoid
the accidents that sometimes happen
even to adults who have just picked
up" gun knowledge
Already rivalling base ball in popular
favor, trap shooting is looming larger
and larger on the horizon of American
sports. The late successes of the Ameri-
