lsmay Holds UP Details.
Because Bruce -fsmay, managing di-
rector OF the White Star line, refuses
permission the storyy of the Titanic
disaster is withheld from the world.
Ismay. who was saved with the wo-

OF the scout cruiser Chester reported

| explained that the president OF the
/ United States. whose personal friend
and military aide, Major Archibald
Butt. went 10 the bottom with the
Titanic. wanted TO know.

real story does finally become known
IL will show that the accident mignt
have been avoided had the Titanic
slowed down in the Ice. Navigators
here are anxious to know what orders
Capt. Smith received from the owners
