Safety At Sea.

Just as the railroads persistently opposed
the federal law that required that all rolling
stock be equipped with safety appliances. so are
the vessel owners arraying themselves against
the so-cailed seaman's bill passed by the last
congress. The sponsors OF that measure insist
Il was not designed to lay any additional hard
ship on ship owners. but TO require that ships
that put out to sea under the American flag be
manned by sufficient crew OF experienced sea-
men 10 make certain Of safety OF vessel, and
company. To accomplish this. It also fixes re-
Quirements for the living conditions OF sailors
on board ship. and for payment OF wages at
stated times and not at the viii OF the captain.
Sad experience has shown that ship owners
have not always shown that high regard for
safety that might reasonably be expected when
public patronage is sought From startling
list Of shipwreoks hiss come the story OF crews
Of men unaceustomed 10 the handling OF boats,
and unfamiliar with the operation of the life
saving devices provided. Even In the latest in
stance. that Of the LusItania, the captain testi-
fled on the stand that his crew lacked practice.

looked after by competent officers and men TO
the extent that legal prerequisites can safe

How Many American Securities Held Abroad
How many American securities are held
abroad? This has been a pertinent question
ever since the beginning of the war. when the
New York Stock exchange was closed down tight
for months for fear of utter generalization from
the dumping OF foreign-owned stocks and bonds
on our money market II goes without saying
that European holdings OF American securities
have furnished the purchasing power for mill
lions OF American foodstuffs, and other articles
supplied to the belligerent countries over and
above the war loans floated on this side for that
purpose. That foreign holdings OF American
stocks and bonds are therefore now lower than
they have been for many years Is the conclusion
Of expert opinion, which places the aggregate
considerably below the common estimate, at from
$1,000. zoo, 900 to S6,00O,00O i, 900.
Bearing on this situation a report made by
/. r. Loree, as chairman OF the committee to
check up the foreign holdings In American rail-
roads. s quoted by the National City bank circu-
lar, fixing the total at s2.b7e, 200. 900 based
upon investigation Of the registers OF hundred
companies. and upon the income tax certificates
filed by them. With this starting point. any
estimate that would make other American SCI
cprities owned abroad exceed the amount OF rail-
road securities would surely be excessive The
sugeestion Is made that the government alone
could. and therefore should, make the most ac-
curate possible exhibit by checking the income
tax certificates OF all kinds Of corporations filed
with the Treasury department, which should
show domestic and foreign ownership at least
wherever subject to the income tar. This. we
believe, is fairly safe guess--that the after
the-war inventory win disclose Europe owing us
more than we viii owe Europe. counting in all
the European investments in American securities
and other property at their most liberal vaiua-

Automobile racing, wrestling and base ball,
the great professional sports TO be exemplified
