How one man when commander of e steamship can jeopardize the lives of several hundred passengers and crew through stubborn refusal to accept counsel from others is glar- ingly revealed in the case Of tho cap- tain of the Thessaioniki who persist entity declined to be guided by the appeals of the other officers of the ship and the passengers when they heseeefed him to ask for aid when the ship was known to be in dan- gerous condition.
 Why there were appeals for aid through the use of the S. O. S. call only to have proffered aid refused in tbe~case of this Greek liner Is cleared up by the tales of the passengers. It was a case, where Captain Goulandis Sat hinself up as the supreme author ity. refused to take the advice of the ethsf officers and in his mad deter imitation to get his disabled ship to pibrt was willing to risk the lives of all those aboard even to the extent of tlfkatering the life of the wireless operator if he flashed forth the call for. assistapce. It would be hard to believe that such a situation could exist except that it has already been IShown. to be a fact. The very fact
 hat 1t was Captain Goulandis' first

 ppear to be sufficient ground for him to confer with the other officers as to the safest course under the pre- Ya5ling conditions. but he apparently considered it humiliating to bow to theiravages of a storm and in trying to avoid that he gave too little thought to the safety of those lives committed to his care.
 It was case where he demonstrated his unfltness for such a responsible 'position in such manner that he never should be entrusted with sim liar commission again. He lacks the judgment which should go with the captaincy of passenger ship.

cERMANYs PRoMIsEs.

If Germany, has made promises to this country, as unoG1cialIy reported. concerning submarine warfare and the safety of passengers on the high seas, it indicates, after long period of study, a recognition of the contentious set forth by this country.
 # is set forth that in the future submarine warfare as conducted by Germany will conform to international regulations. Instructions to that ef- feet have been given to the com Enanders of the submersibles and they will be held to strict obedience of or ders, and in case there are instances where there are violations there will be prompt punishment of the guilty off, cials and full reparation paid for the American lives lost or those injured.
 Furthermore in a communication concerning the Frye case Germany ad- mits that the placing of passengers In small boats is not under all cir rumstances fulfilling their obligations % see that they are gotten to places 0f safety. This it Is promised will re- ceive such attention henceforth that when ordered to take to the boats the conditions will be taken into consid- eratlou and no passengers will be left to the mercy of the seas unless it ls possible for them to get safely to ne nearest port.
 Thus Germany recognizes in two ira- @ortant particulars the justice of the claims which this country. has made. They will be watched with deep in terest to see that they are carried out, for promises amount to nothing unless Nept and while 1t is admitting It's conversion to the position of this gov- ernment it can do nothing less than aee that it's allies. over whom 1t has control, should join in the same

ARelMgnT A FoR AReIrRATIoN.

Whatever sympathy there may have been on the part of the public with the strikers at Youngstown, Ohio, iu. their dispute with the steel mill oper- atorE, they forfeited all claim to it by their actions in starting riot and burning ten Of the business blocks of tho city. It was one of the worst demonstrations of mob violence of that Character in a long time and in these enlightened days one which it had been hoped had been entirely aban- doned
 However much sympathy may be manifested in behalf of a body of strikers. there is nothing to justify such riotous action as occurred Fri day night. It is clearly illustrated what sort of leadership existed among those who were seeking an increase in wages. They were determined re- gardless of the limits to which they went to force the company to grant their demands and the result Is one dead, a hundred or more injured and a property loss of million dollars. As is usual the sufferers are not con- fined to the people concerned in the strike for it was the business section or the city which suffered by the fire and several thousand were driven from their homes.
 There have been plenty of examples of the injustice of such strike methods and the Youngstown lesson only adds emphasis to the wisdom Of paying re- Bpect to law and order when labor disputes are underway instead of de- Tying authority and the rights of others in a mad fnsistence upon having one's own way. Those who are responsible For the Youngstown affair should pay dearly for their part in it, while the deplorable affair should result in a lasting argument for arbitration in all such cases

VIVID PURPLE USED IN CHIC
 HOUSE FURNISHINGS.

There are beautiful things in purple for house furnishing. and the woman who wishes to have her boudoir or bedroom redecorated can do no bet ter than to have the walls covered with gray, with gray net at the windows and purple silk or velour curtains over the net, or a cretonne showing purple on a gray or white ground. In the hand printed cretonnes an dlinens there are lovely purple designs of pea- cocks and parrots and flowers.
 Wicker furniture, enamaled gray and fitted with purple cushions, or gray eismeled wood with purple cush- ions. helps to carry out the color scheme, and for the floor there are lovely rugs in two tones of gray and some in gray and purple or two tones Of lavender.
 Be careful in choosing purple for the rom to be sure that you like it. Peo- pie usually either do> or no not like these pansy shades. They seldom feel neutral on the subject.

TIE VERpps GUNS.

The arrival in this country of the Italian steamship Giuseppe Verdi, with two three inch guns mounted on it's stern for the purposes of defense and capable of hitting a target at four and a half miles, furnishes another opportunity for this country to insist that it's previously declared attitude concerning armed merchantmen must be observed
 Early in the war an effort was made by belligerent nations, which were operating steamships to this country, to carry guns for defensive purposes just as has been done in this case, but they were informed that such failed to meet the approval of this country and there was an immediate compli- ance with the request for the dis mounting of the guns or the with drawal of the ships from trade with this country. The appearance of the Italian liner with guns Is the first in- stance of the kind since that time. There is no reason to believe but what the guns have been placed on the ship for the purpose of protecting it and its passengers in case it is unjustly attacked by submarines in the Med- iterranean, but this government can not guarantee its conduct and it must take the same course in this instance that 1t did. in those cases which were previously disposed of.
 The kind of warfare which the sub- marines have been carrying on in the Mediterranean does not entitle them to any protection which the position of this country concerning the arm ing of merchantmen appears to give, but as neutral nation it behooves this country to treat both sides in the war alike and to grant no favors to one nation which would not be grant ed to another. and for that reason it is to be expected that Italy will be asked to dismount the guns.

The stockings match the slippers perfectly, having a metallic sheen. The footwear is to be had both in bright and dull gifts. The cothnrn slippers, those that lace high above the ankle with ribbons. are again in favor. The short and bouf- fant skirts are responsible for this. These pretty slippers are similar to the tango slippers worn a season or so ago. Slippers and ribbons fre- quently contrast in color to the stock tngs.

------------ 8URLAP CURTAINS.

Burlap may be used for curtaining doorways, shelves. bookcases or cup boards. It is very easy to work with, does not become limp or stringy and will remain fresh almost indefinitely. A pretty window combination, especf- ally for the bedroom, is to have the pair next to the glass of dotted swiss, ruffled on plain, and the overdraperies of burlap hanging flat and covering a third of the window at each side. Bur lap also makes an excellent covering for screens. There are various grades but the least expensive is just as decorative and durable as the higher priced kind.

CLOSE FITTING sAst4Es BIND
 FULL TuLLE SKIRTS.

One of the dimcuIties about the very full skirts Is that they some
 times look bulky. and are bulky, about the waist and hips. The Paris dress makers have been trying various ex- pedients to overcome this bullxiness ever since they began to experiment with the full skirts. With a tulle skirt perhaps the best way is to have a sash. either narrow band or wide, soft ribbon folded narrow, fastened rather loosely about the hips. It re- tains the excessive fuiness and at the same time does not form harsh line.
