Rritish Rattleshln Sunk.

While lying at anchor in the road
stead off Sheerness, in the mouth OF
the Thames river. and only thirty
five miles from London, the British
batleship Bulwark was destroyed b.
an explosion, sinking almost imme
diately.
1t is estimated that $50 men los,
their lives in the explosion. Only
twelve men are reported to have been
saved.
A Central News dispatch says the
catastrophe was due to an accidental
explosion while ammunition was be
ing loaded on board the warship. The
admiralty. in its official statement.
says the vessel probably was wrecked
BY an explosion within the magazine
of the vessel.
Reports that the Bulwark was sunk
by a German submarine which had
thus penetrated Britain's naval cor
don are discredited publicly in official
circles.
The force of the explosion was so
great that houses in Sheerness and
even in South End, seven miles away.
and on ten other side OF the Medway
we're violently shaken. People fed in
20 the streets in alarm.
Dense clouds Of smoke and flames
shot into the air as the ship blew up
So terrible was she rent that it was
impossible to give her assistance.
Immediately after the explosion the
vessel was blotted out by smoke, and
as the veil slowly lifted a handful of
men was seen struggling in the wa
ter. Small craft rushed to their aid
and picked them up. Some of them
we're badly mutilated. Three minutes
after the detonation the Bulwark had
disappeared.

Believe Commission Will End
Colorado Strike,
OPERATORS COOL 70 IDEA
President Of Big Company Declares
the Only Trouble Is to Find a Mar
ket for Their Coal.

Government officials in Washing
lon w5o have been keeping in close
touch with the Colorado coal strike
situation are now hopeful. as the re-
suit Of the action of President VIII
son in naming a commission to deal
with such controversies, that there
would be no repetition Of the present
troubles in the Colorado coal fields.
The commission is composed OF
Seth Low, OF New York; Charles W..
Mills. OF Philadelphia, and Patrick
Gilday, of Clearfeld, Pa.
The commission viii not deal with
the present differences between the
operators and miners. but will at
tempt to settle similar disputes in the
future. Efforts to bring about a set
tlement OF the present strike by an
agreement between the operators and
miners. it is announced, will be con
tiEued by the federal mediators, who
have been endeavoring for some time
to adjust the controversy. They are
Howell Davies and W. r. Farley.
The president in a statement an
nouncing the appointment Of the com
mission reviews in detail the various
steps taken By the federal govern
ment to bring about a settlement Of
the present trouble He then ex-
presses the hope that the parties to
the controversy will make use of the
commission as an instrument of peace
to prevent a repetition of similar
troubles in the future.
President Wilson's plan for a tenn
porary settlement of the strike con
tempated the appointment Of a com
mission similar to the one he has just
named. The plan was accepted by the
miners, but was rejected by the op-
orators, their principal objection be
ing to a commission.

said J. F. Welborn, president OF the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, in
Denver, Colo, when advised OF the
appointment OF a federal commission
to mediate in future controversies.
"All serious troubles in the Colo
RADIO coal fields have been caused by
labor organizations trying to force
their regime on the business against
the wishes Of the workmen and their
employers. II the commission just
appointed can prevent the labor or
ganization responsible for COloradO's
present trouble from bringing about
another strike solely for recognition
of the union a great service will have
been rendered and strikes of the kind
from which We are now suffering will
be a thing OF the past.

Colorado mines are working today is
to find a market for their coal. Many

Oppose Sex Hygiene

The United States Commits
sioner of Education has Of late
come in for considerable criti-
cism. because of an Endorsement,
in his recent Annual Report, of
sex hygiene for the public
schools. This is not surprising,
in view of the widespread re-
sistance to this attempted in
novation in our popular educa-
tion.
Leading statesmen, educators,
clergymen, and even physicians
of national reputation, are on
record as being uncompromising
in their opposition. Ex-Presi-
dent Taft. in addressing the
graduates of the Pierce Business
School of Philadelphia, held that
pursuit Of education in sex hy-
giene is full of dangers, if car
ried on in the general public
schools. IL deny" he said,
THAT the socalled prudishness
and avoidance of nasty subjects
in the last generation has ever
blinded any substantial number
of girls or boys to the wicked
ness of vice, or made them
easier victims of temptation"
Governor Edward +. Dunno.
of Illinois, in a letter addressed
TO the President of the State
University, expressed the con-
viction that the teaching of sex
hygiene Twill induce rather than
suppress immortality and un-
chastity" Personally" said
Governor Dunno, 81 would not |
permit my young and innocent |
daughters to be sent to either a |
public or private school where
sex hygiene is discussed in pub
lie, in their hearing and in the
hearing of children of their ten
der age. ;"
Ex-Governor Joseph w. Folk |
of Missouri, who is now such a
prominent figure in Federal in
vestigation work, is on record |
as strongly opposed to this pro-
posed innovation. Bishop Chas.
p. Anderson. of Chicago. Rev.
George p. Williams. ID. D.. of
Philadelphia, Superintendent
Roncovieri of the San Francisco
public schools. and President
Tierney of Woodstock College,
Maryland. are among the dis
tinguished clergymen and educa-
tors who have registered their
protests; while the objections
advanced by such men as DIR.
Howell T. Pershing, an alienist
of nation wide repute. and DIR.
Richard c. Cabot of Harvard
Medical School. are highly |
significant. coming as they do
from trained thinkers whose
conclusions are based on critical
observations.
Friends of our public schools
should hesitate long before in
dorsing q subject that arouses
such pronounced opposition from
leading thinkers representing
many shades of opinion, and
most sensible persons. will no
doubt agree with those citizens
who deplore the hasty action of
the United States Commissioner
of Education in indorsing teach.
ings and theories that. il in
troduced into the public schools,
would impair the usefulness of
these institutions. by impelling
many CONSCIENTIOUS citizens TO
take their children from the
public schools. as Governor
Dunno declares he would do if
sex hygiene were taught. Pub
