Scatter Flowers on Spot
Where Ship Sank

Cape Race, April 16.-Out into the
night upon the waters where the most
fearful chapter in their lives was writ

widowed by the Titanic disaster, yes
terday morning promptly at 2:15
o'clock, scattered roses, a tribute >
the memories of their husbands, on the
anniversary of the sinking of the mis-
tress of the seas.
The women sailed from Boston on
Saturday. Prior to sailing arrange
ments had been made with the steam
ship company to fix the liners sched-
ule SO that the exact spot where the
Titanic sank would be reached last
night. For more than three hours
tie ship halted on the spot where
twelve months before these women
babe sad adieu to their loved ones.
A short memorial service was held
just before the flower ceremony, con-
Quoted by the liners chaplain. AS
the snip got under steam and left
the fated spot the sorrowing women
sang the memorable Titanic dirge,
Nearer, My God, to Thee"
The tribute was probably the most
wonderful ever conceived.
The idea was that of Mrs. Harris
and Mrs. Futrelle. Mrs. Futrelle. up
until few weeks ago, had been max,
ing monthly pilgrimages to the sea-
shore on the fifteenth of each month
and casting scarlet flowers into the
water. Jacques Futrelle loved scar
let flowers. He had them about hi n
and wrote about them. Mrs. Futrelie
established the custom at her summer
place in Scituate, Mass.

PURE PAINT
TARIFF ASSURES EFFICIENCY.
Industry VIII No Longer Be Protected
BY Sitting Competition.
New York Times.A

American manufacturers, producers,
and wage earners must be slow of APP
prehension if they have not already
gotten into their heads the real intent
and effect of the democratic tariff poll
icy Chairman Underwood gave the
hint, but President Wilson makes full!
avowal and disclosure.
| The new tariff bill in which the in
tention of congress and of the exec
Tive is embodied, will make American
industries self-independent, self-sus-
tanning. The government will no
longer assure profits by excluding coli
petition. If the new rates are enacted,
the manufacturers of the country must
have resort, not to the artificial pro
to- ton of the tariff, but to the natural
Fl election of their own abilities as
managers, and of the skill and industry
of their workmen, both alike contrib
rting to a higher efficiency and lower
rcst of production.
This means that factory methods
r'ust be re-examined to the end that
wrste of effort and material may be
oui off, that the best modern methods
may be applied. 1t means that labor,
ESPECIALLY organized labor, must alter
its methods. Labor, too, must adopt
the rule of higher efficiency, for the
payroll is in most cases the largest
faCtor of cost. Where manufactures
lnJs it difficult or impossible to meet
the rev competition, he will be forced
to temand of Lis workmen either a
higher rate of production, or, newt
ably, longer hours, or a lower wage.

AIRSHIPS AND WARFARE.
(New York SUM-

1t Is still difficult to make some peo-
Jle believe that there will ever be
nghtlng in the air. They understand
now aeroplanes and dirigibles coulj
De used for reconnaissance and per-
haps to drop bombs on camps and for
tined places, but actual combat be-
tween alrships for the command of the
air is beyond their conception. 1t
seems unutterably horrible to them.
and yet death from falling through
space is less painful than being
smothered and drowned in a subma-
rine, and it is pleasanter to think of
than being blown to pieces by mine.
The Germans are methodica,ly prepar
ing for warfare in the air and So are
the French and English. Nothing but
a Geneva decree will stop it. The lat
est military Zeppelin is provided with
platform to hold machine guns, ar
uller1sts and sharpshooters. Their
work will be the Gripping and destruc-
ton of the enemy's ships to obtain
command of the air Once the enemy
is driven from the air his ability to
reconnoitre will be reduced to the
employment of cavalry, and he will
have to submit to a bombardment By
powerful explosives from the sky, I'M
less he has guns especially adapted to
destroying airships at an elevation of
several thousand feet A dirigible like
the latest Zeppelin, with a lifting
power of four and a half tons above
fuel weight can pack an enormous
amount of explosive material.
1t is now settled that for military
uses the dirigible airship, which can
be driven at a speed of fifty to sixty
miles an hour, has solid advantages
over the aeroplane, although the heav-
Ter than air machine is invaluable for
rapid reconnaissance. The dirigible
has radius of more than 1000 miles
It's crew can do their work with the
utmost elaboration and without con-
Germ for the stability of their shic.
They can be protected from rifle firn
The dirigible can fly at night, and is
then more to be dreaded. 1t can carry
a large quantity of ammunition AMI
stores. 1t can ride out a gale. There
should be no difficulty in giving it a
color to render it invisible at a dis
lance. With muffled motors the diri-
gible could be used for surprises at
night.
II command of the air is essential
TO victory in land campaign, as the
specialists maintain, an army equip
ped with preponderating number of
Zeppelins should be invincible after
the enemy's feet was driven from the
air.

PRESIDENT HAS
VIEWS UPON THE
TOLL QUESTION
HAS TALK With Mr.. BRYCE
Regarding This Very ImpOr-
tGnt Matter

Washington, D. C, April 16-Whi.e
President Wilson has never expressed
himself publicly on the question o.
Panama canal tolls, he has informal
indicated to his friends that he be-
lieves in an Interpretation of the
treaty which would make it improper
for the United States to exempt its
vessels in the coastwise traffic from
paying tolls. He is also understood to
take the position that the exemption
as now proposed is in effect a subsidy
and he has always been opposed to
subsidies.
The report that the president had
intimated to Ambassador Bryce that
the settlement of the question would
lie favorable to Great Britain is credit
ed generally in official circles, because
! il is thought that Mr.. Wilson's per
sonal friendship for the retiring am
bassador would account for their in
innate conversation on this point
just before Mr.. Bryce's departur.
though Mr.. Wilson has been urged
not to give formal expression to his
views until the tariff is disposed of n
the present session of congress.
Mr. Wilson is said to realize that
the tolls question might, if brought up
at present, divide the democratic ma
jority and cause embarrassment to the
tariff question, which he regards as
paramount
The inference drawn from the Loa-
don report is that the president has
seen fit informally to indicate to Eng
land that favorable adjustment will
be forthcoming SO as to forestall early
representations from Great Britain
and so that the British government
might understand fully that the STRAIT

Committee Recommends "Spot
less Town" Ordinance With
One Amendment.

After a period OF tribulation and
adverse fortune the Umlauf "spotless-
town" -:-.-.----~, is mt last In fair
way to become law. The Council
Committee on Ordinances last night
took 1t from the table. paved over
its provisions for more than all hour
and ended half an hour before mid
night by recommending 1t for passage
with an amendment relieving house
holders from the obligation to provide
themselves with more than one metal
garbage receptacle.
The chief objection lodged against
the measure was that by requiring
each householder to provide himself
with two metal receptacles for the re-
cepmon of ashes and garbage. re-
spectively, it imposed n hardship on
the poor. The two receptacles. IT was
S6-an amount which many families
would find 1t hard to raise.
Councilman Umlauf, who appeared
for the measure before the committee,
consented to an amendmen mt which per-
mits the use OF wooden vessel for
the reception of ashes, requiring only
one metal receptacle. In this form the
ordinance was recommended for pass :
age.
The measure provides among other
things for the separation OF combusti-
bic from non combustible matter, and
prohibits under penalty, tho throwing
OF refuse in the streets. parks or other
public places. 1t was framed in ac-
cordancc with the recommendation OF
