The steamship Titanic Of the
White Star line, the largest vessel
IaAoat. Is on her maiden voyage and
is due in New York April 16. The
Titanic is of 46,328 tons register,
with a displacement of $1,000. Her
total length is 882 feet 6 inches, he"
| breadth is 50 feet 6 inches, and she
lis 175 feet from the keel to the top
| of the smokestacks She mas eleven
decks, which is equal to what was
called skyscraper a few years ago.
| The vessel will carry 1000 persons,
including passengers and crew, and
jthis in spite of the fact that the
staterooms are unusually spacious,
beds taking the place of hunks in
most of the apartments. Two regal
suites on the Titanic cost $4,35O
each for the trip, the occupants haY-
ling a private promenade deck on
which they will have as much priv
acy as on the piazza Of their own
home.
When the huge ship left South
ampton April 10 she passed the
New York Of the American line, and
the tremendous suction developed
by the passage Of the leyiathan
caused the seven hawsers holding
the New York to snap that vessel
loose. She was pushed back into
lher dock without mishap.
simultaneously with the first voy-
age of the Titanic comes the Iufor-
nation that the North German
Lloyd line has let a contract that
will eclipse the present queen Of the
seas The boat to be built viii have
registered tonnage of 5000 and
will be more than 500 feet long. In
the meantime the Hamburg-Amerl-
can line is building the Imperator
which will be Of $4,000 tons and
Will be in service within a few
months.
To show the tremendous advance
made in the building of ocean grey
hounds In recent years it may be
said that the Titanic is nearly four
times as large as the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, which ten years
ago was one of the largest, finest
and fastest boats in service.

Montreal, April 16.-The new
steamship Titanic, which struck an
iceburg last night, was afoat at
$50 A. NJ. today and her engines
were working. At that time she
was crawling slowly in the general
direction of Halifax and toward the
| Nirginian which is enroute to her.
The Titanic reported the women and
children had been put in life boats
and they were ready to be lowered
at the first sign that the vessel was
actually sinking. The weather was
clear and calm. While the forward
holds were full of water the pumps
were being worked to their fullest
capacity and if they can stand the
strain there are hopes that the big

The Titanic Passengers will this
afternoon be transferred to the Bal
tic which will take them to New
York. They are due there Thurs
day. ffSS--Baluc is the same liner
that brought passengers of the
sunken liner Republic to New York,
At St. Johns, N. b, at 11:15
o'clock a dispatch says the Titanic
is being towed into port by the Al
Ian liner Virginian.
The steel PROV of the Titanic
crumbled before the impact with
the enormous iceberg. At the
smash, however, the water tight
compartment doors closed automat-
ically. Immediately the wireless
appeals for aid were sent out and
the responds were immediate. Ac-
cording to information here the IL
tanic carried about $5,OOO,O0O in
bonds and diamonds.
In addition to the Vlrginian
there were in the vicinity of the III
tanic and raced towaru her today
the White Star liners Olympic and
Baltic; the amburg-American lin
er, Cincinnati; the Cunarder, the
Mauretania, the Prince Albert and
lAmerika; the Frederick Wilhelm
and a half dozen freighters.
The news of the accident was re-
cieved at the Allan line offices here
in wireless message from the cap
tain of the steamship Virginian, OF
that line. 1t was stated that the
Virginian had been in wireless com
munication with the Titanic, that
she had reported being in collision
with an iceberg and asked for as
sistance.
The Virginian reported that she

The Virginian steamed from Hal
flax yesterday morning and at the
time the wireless was sent she is
reckoned to have been about abeam

gers on board, but can accommodate
800 more of the Titanic's passen-
gers should their removal be neces-
sary.
The message from the Virginlan s
captain was sent by wireless to Cape
Race and from thence by cable to
Halifax and then by wire to Mont
real. The Allan line officials here
expect to hear further news at any
moment.

modern boys would endure. He was
sensitive and high-spirited. The pris-
on-like discipline and harshness might
well have broken a weaker spirit. 1t
merely strengthened Fredericks. At
length Frederick Williams cruelty to-
ward the lad became unbearable. Fred
erick, in 1880. when he was eighteen
years old, planned to escape from
bondage and to take refuge with his
uncle. King George II. of England. He
needed a confederate TO help him es-
cape. So he chose his dearest friend,
Lieut.. Won Katie.
The plot was discovered by the king.
Won Katie was thrown into prison and
was sentenced by military court-mar-
tial to remain there for two years.
Frederick was also arrested and taken
before his father. The king was mad
with rage, heaped vile insults on the
helpless youth, then rushed fiercely at
him, beating him almost to death be-
fore bystanders could drag him away.
But this did not check Frederick Will
liam's wrath. He declared that
his son, as a colonel in the Prussian
army. had been guilty of attempted
desertion in trying to escape to Eng
land. He had him placed In solitary
confinement in the fortress of Custrin
and ordered him beheaded.
Only the stern protests OF other Eu-
ropean sovereigns prevented the king
from carrying out this unnatural
threat. But he chose another punish
meut almost as cruel. Condemniug
Lieut.. Won Katie to death, he had a
scaffold erected just outside Freder-
icks prison window aud forced the
wretched prince to witness his friend \
! execution. As the lieutenant mounted

/ him, sobbing:
| ooh, forgive me, dear Katte,"

The king next tried in vain to force
/ Frederick to give up his claims as
| heir to the throne. Failing in this, he
/ kept him long in semi-lmprlsonment
/ and forced him to marry a princess he
/ greatly disliked.
Yet, at the time of his own death, in

sand contradictions that made up the
nature of Frederick William l., second
king of Prussia, and father of F'reder-
lex the Great. Perhaps 1t Is not Who'll
ly fair, in one sense, to call him a
blackguard, but in other respects few
men have had better claim to the
word.
/ His father had been eXtraVagant
and had left the newly-formed kingdom
| in bad financial state. Frederick Will
| liam began his reign in 1913 by cut
ting down official salaries and dis
/ charging many state employees. He
also excited anger and ridicule by
| hundreds of other harsh economies.
Yet this miserly course had good eff
fects. It paid his fathers debts and
gave Prussia a full treasury. More
over, Wilhelm had full share OF the
national German honesty and stanch
uprightness. His chief faults were un'
gopernable temper and parsimony.
Stingy as he was in other ways
WILLIAM lavished huge sums on the
army His great joy in life was 70
play at soldering He had a scheme
for collecting a corps of giants and
would pay unheard-of prices to induce
tell men to serve in his ranks.
In spite of his craze for military af
fairs, Frederick William managed to
reign q years with only one little wal
to mar the peace Of his realm. He
sneered at all sorts of education that
were not absolutely practical (ever
forbidding his son TO learn Latin) He
also chose vulgar and illiterate mer
and women as mis- boon companions
rather than such PERSONS of intellect
as happened TO be at the court. He
used to walk the streets, beating witt
his cane any one who CHANGED 10 b.
idling His rule was one OF iron, anC
ne firmly believed in the divine RICH
of kings" to do aS they pleased with
