PeriIS Bring Out Courage.

Those who go down to the sea in
ships" encounter peril and often
death, as they have ever done. Such
appalling disasters as the fate of the
1'Titanic" and now the Empress of
Ireland" impress US with the thought
of insecurity on the water, even in
this day. We build vessels that are
models of precautiOn and strength.
Science has given us added safe
guards for human life, and yet now
and then comes a tragedy of the
waters that dazes US, that causes US
to realize how helpless is man despite
his boast of resource.
But the sorrow and the horror that
ensue from these great tragedies
have their compensation, their lofty
and inspiring lessons. Part and par
Gel of all of them is the story. each
time, of the development of the di-
vine man, of tender herOism, self
sacrifice and undying love. When the
Empress of Ireland" went down a
few days ago on the Saint Lawrence
rivers and destroyed more than
thousand lives there were men and
women, so we read in the stories of
the disaster, who faced death bravely
together. 81 must stay with my wife
and child; Gods will be done!' were
the last words heard from the Cana
dian Salvation Army officer. Law
renee Irving, an English actor-son
of the great British Shakespearean
interpreter of the last century-came
to the deck with his wife and they
saw that escape was not for them.
He took her in his arms, her head
leaned on his breast, and then the
cold waters closed over them. Until
death us do parti" Who knows but
in that awful, supreme moment the
words and the thought may not have
come to them and strengthened them
and when they went into the pres
ence OF God they realized that the
one thing of this life that abides in
the next is Love! A woman and a
child were taken from the water,
both dead. The babe was clasped
close in the woman's arms-another
admonition that mother-love is for
this time and all time. Brave and
manly men tried to rescue the wom-
en- and children first. The officers
and crew of the ship bore themselves
like men. There was no panic, no
greedy rush to save their lives ahead
of Others
These things are measurably COM
pensation, for they give us renewed
confidence in our kind. 1t was APP
pallingly pitiful, but the somber pic
lure is Illuminated by these instances
of human love and noble courage. !
In the hour of stress and trial the
Supreme Ruler inspires US to meet
fate in brave and unselfish spirit.

\ SUFFRAGETTE BILL.

From the Savannah News.
When, and if, the suffragettes of
Pennsylvania get the vote they will
ring a 1000 pound bell which they
are having made and which is to be
known as the Justice Bell" 1t is
intended to be looked upon some day
as a relic as precious as the Liberty
Bell itself. 1t seems certain that it
will be rung by the rejoicing women,
and yet it will be a pity if it remains
voiceless year after year until, like
the Liberty Bell, it becomes old and
cracked and useless except as relic
If it becomes a memento of wom-
ans failure, rather than of her sue
cess.

At short intervals the past year
or more the newspapers have printed
stories that General Huerta was pre-
naring to leave Mexico like a thief
at night. We have never taken any
stock in these reports. Huerta is not
a model for anybody, but thus far
he has borne himself after a manner
that indicates his purpose to take

ed that he will plan to do so with

The Cotton Crop.

The reports show that the cotton
crop is very backward and in an I'M
satisfactory condition this year, ow-
ing to the excessive rains in some
sections and the severe drouth in
other sections. In Texas and Okla
homa the rains have made the crop
like eighteen days late.
In the states east of the Mississippi
river the dry weather has retarded
the growth considerably and in some
sections prevented the cotton that
was planted coming up. Georgia's
crop condition last week was placed
at 50, while the average for the cot
ton growing states as a whole was
only rs. In some parts of Georgia,
in the northeastern sec
ton, a great deal of cotton has not
yet come up on account of drouth.

to the east of Paris, was hit by tho

forced to double back for Il distanc,

outcome of the fighting has aroused
great satisfaction in Paris. 1t is ar
gued here that it probably has re.
suited in m equal degree OF anxiety
for the German general staff, con
cernins the lines of communication.
In spite of the contained sOberness
Of the French official communica-
tion. on the progress Of these en-
gagements, it is evident that the ac.
tions of yesterday and the day b"-
fore, constituted one of the hottest
battles OF the war. Yesterday even
ing a large number OF autos loaded
with strctchcrs speeded out of Paris
toward the east. This fact might
suggest also that yesterdays action
was one OF the most costly advan-
tages so far gained by the allies.
The Germans seem to have realized
that they have been led into Il dan.
gerous position, for they have
brought up reinforccments for their
left. In spite. however. of their al
tacks, the English troops not only
forged ahead. While the official re-
ports failed to indicate the direction
in which the Germans have retreat
cd, It is believed here that they have
withdrawn to the northeast in the
direction of Epcrnny, a town about
70 miles from Paris.
The British troops having crossed
the river Marine, are now in posi-
tion to follow up their successes.
They are menacing the Germans con
