London, Jan. 20-The task of secur-

and their passengers was dealt with
in a thorough manner by the lnterna-
tional Conference on Safety at Sea,
which came to an end today, when
the delegates sent by IA nations sign

Lord Mersey, the president. in max

had been discussed and on which
agreements had been reached by the
delegates.
Lord Mersey said: ION the question
of construction of passenger steamers
the convention provides that the ex-
listing arrangements shall be consid-
cred on their merits by the country to
which each vessel belongs with the
view of providing increased safety
where practicable and reasonable.

Whats the use?" That was what
the poor newspaper man thought and
said, under his breath, when he look
ed in Tuesday evening at the Green
Street Methodist church. His mental
exclamation had no reference to the
work these people were here to inau-

handle even passably the account of
the proceedings. Look at the bat
