The Sneerers

How shall we assay the moral make
up of those minds that jibe at Presi-
dent Wilson for his insistence upon
keeping faith in the fourteen points
of peace? He adheres to them, one
critic sneeringly remarks, ''as if they
were heaven-born commandments. )"
Well, if Germany had regarded her
international pledges and obligations
as such commandments" instead of
mere scraps of paper (Which this
Sinking Sir Oracle seemingly con
siders the Fourteen Poins" to be-,
the world would have been spared its
most terrible war Any pledge of
honor, any principle of right, ought to
be treated as "a heaven-born COM
mandment."
Suppose America and her asso-
ciates in the great task of consum-
mating just and stable peace should
flout those specified principles on
which the cessation of fighting was
pitched. What warrant would they
have for expecting either their, late
enemies, or for expecting one another,
to keep faith in any treaties resulting
from the Paris conference? All the
belligerents accepted those principles,
as a statement of the fundamentals
for peace. Great Britain, it is true,
expressly reserved the right to liberty
of Interpretation regarding freedom
of the seas" But there has not yet
been, and probably will not be, any
irreconcilable differences on that
score. The main body of the fourteen
principles, enunciated in January,
1918, and subsequently emphasized
in detail, is in no wise less important
to durable peace now than year
ago, or on November the eleventh
last.
This, of course, is not to imply
that there is any sovereign virtue or
invioIate faith in the verbal items
themselves. 1t is the essence and
spirit Of the program that must be
preserved and made effectual; and it
is these that President Wilson,
stanchly supported by Premier Lloyd
George and by the enlightened con-
science of all countries, insists. upon
preserving and making effectual.
Critics who sheer at him because he
so insists are of moral piece with
those who sneered at Belgium for de-
Tending her honor, at England for
living up to her treaty obligations,
and at America for abandoning a
prosperous but ignoble neutrality to
prove by sacrifice her SOULS fealty to
the Right.-Atlanta Journal.

and boulder clay, the top layer of which
was more than seventy feet under water.
Efforts continued until the Autumn Of
1909, when the dredges began to bring up
a large number of things which had un-
mistakably formed part of the ship. Most
important of all they brought to light some
of the instruments the Swedish searchers
prize. These furnished proof that at last
the dredges were at work over the very
spot where the treasure galleon lay
buried-a spot about ninety yards from
the Torbermory pier.
The following Summer new dredging
methods were introduced, including new
suction pump, and more material was
brought up that seemed to be a part Of
the ship itself Then obstacles were en-
countered-a thick layer of shellfsh,
Of concrete, and beneath this huge boul-
der, some of which weighed half ton.
In 1911 discoveries were made which led
to the belief that the boulders were part of
the ships ballast. AS the dredges pressed
deeper and deeper into the oceans bed
they began to bring up fragments of
human skeletons-the bones of the unfor-
tunate victims of Maclean's diabolical re-
venge.
Just when it seemed that the recovery
of the treasure was only a matter of days
the war came and put a complete stop to
the work.
AS soon as the armistice was signed the
syndicate of treasure hunters was reor.

ganized and costly outfit of new and
improved dredging machinery was or.
dered. These dredges have been actively
at work in Torbermory Bay for several
months, and within the past few days they
have been bringing up the most encourag-
ing evidence that the treasure ship Is close
at hand. An ingenious method of fltering
the sand has been installed, so that not
the tiniest coin or piece of jewelry which
it contains may be lost.
Spanish coins (the famous "pieces of
eight"), table utensils, fragments of oak
ship timber, metal buttons and human
bones are being brought up almost daily.
1t cannot be long now before the ships
strong rooms are reached and the treasure
that has lain useless in the oceans depths
nearly $50 years brought to light. Then
the members Of the syndicate which has
persisted for so many years in this treas
ure search will divide a fortune with the
Duke of Argyll, and King George of Eng
land will have a magnificent new crown to
add to his possessions.
The actual value of the gold, silver and
jewels which the De Elorencia had on
board is enhanced many times by the his
torical significance of these interesting
souvenirs OF a former day. Even the oaken
timbers In the galleon's hull will be held
priceless by historians as mementoes OF
Spain's bold attempt to subjugate England.
To recover the De Florencia and the
precious contents of its strong rooms has

than ever. for the Swedes had left
no accurate records OF their operations
three hundred years before, and even il
they had the shore line and sea bed had
altered considerably since then.
Although the hulk itself was not def
nitely located, a great many pieces of tim.
Der, coins, buttons, etc, that had once be.
longed to it, were found. These things en-.
couraged the syndicate so much that after
one Summers work 1t secured permission
from the Duke of Argyll to continue the
search for five years.
This permission was necessary because,
according to covenants between England
and Spain, drawn up soon after the De
Florencia was lost, it was expressly stipu-
lated that il the crown which the galleon
had carried should ever be recovered it
should become tho property of the King
OF England, and the rest Of the valuables
on board should go to the Duke Of Argyll
Long steel rods were used to probe the
bed OF the bay, and when any hard object
was encountered powerful dredges were

not found.
In October, 1909, new syndicate took
up the hunt under the direction of Colonel
Mackenzie Foss. Still more approved ap-
pliances, still more skillful and daring
divers were employed. Although they did
not succeed In putting their hands on the
wreck they did establish the fact that it
was now buried under thirty feet of silt
The Washington times., 1919-12-21

Probably no ships that ever sailed the
sea carried a more valuable cargo than
the Spanish galleons which met their fate
in vigo Bay in 17e2. They carried the
three years output of the richest mines Of
the Spanish Main, and, in addition to this,
quantities of the most valuable woods
from the South American forests and
many works of art taken from the palaces
of conquered peoples.
The galleons sank so rapidly that their
British and Dutch conquerors had time to
lay hands on no more than mere handful
of the treasure they carried. The greater
part of it found resting place on the
ocean bed to await the inventive genius
Of some later day which should devise
means of bringing it TO the surface again.
The wood of the sunken galleons is
worth enough in itself to repay many
years of effort In it's recovery. Only the
finest woods were used in the construc-
ton of these ships, and experts say that
such woods are actually improved by their
long immersion In salt water. Some Of
the finest furniture In one OF the palaces
of the present King Of Spain is made from
wood taken from galleons that had been
in the sea more than hundred years.
The difficulty Of raising the- treasure
laden huIks In vigo Bay lies in the fact
that they lie In water Of extraordinary
depth. Up to date no diving apparatus has
been devised that would enable divers TO
get more than within eye-shot of them.
What divers have seen shows that the
ships are still in good condition, resting
easily on their sides. They get tantalizing
gIimpses of great beaps of gold coin, silver

can get within reach Of the prize the pres

The last effort to recover the viso Hay
treasures was made few years sso ~ .
company which was capitalized at 81 .eeor
600 by prominent Englishmen.
This company placed its chisf refsasce
OF success on device called the hydro
scope, which il controlled.

Der In which Is mounted q telescope De-
signed especially for use under water.
Through the powerful lenses OF this teie-
scope it is possible to penetrate the dark-
ness Of the ocean depths for vide radius.
This microscope was actually taken 10
Vigo Bay and proved of the restest ser
vice in fixing the actual location OF the
sunken ships. The directors of the Eng
lish corporation which was backing the
enterprise descended the tube one By one
and obtained through the submarine tsie-
scope fascinating giimpses OF the Ealleons,
with their precious cargoes streaming on
Of their battered sides.
Occasionally, too. they elimpsed grin
ming skulls-gruesome reminders Of the
hundreds of brave men who perished In
their vain effort TO get this treasure safely
TO Spain.
But although the hydroecope made pos
sible the exact location OF most of the
sunken galleons, means were stili lsckins
for lifting them 10 the surface.
A submarine tank Was projected that
could travel about on the ocean bed Il
was equipped with steel tentacles power
full enough 10 seize whole galleon and
drag II TO the surface. But, although many
thousands of dollars were spent on this. II
was never successful IN recovering one Of
the sunken galleons.
The corporation which made these ef-
forts is still in existence, and II will doubt
less be encouraged by the recovery OF the
De FIorencia to renew operations In Vigp
Bay. A French engineer suggests lower
ing huge balloons, initiating them with air
after they are attached to the wrecks and
in this way lifting the ships TO the surface.
