it be known today that one Of the

To begin with. Londoners are
wearing American clothing, shoes

wearing American shoes for some
time but silk socks are something
new to the average Englishman. In

English women no longer desire
linen and muslin under clothing but
glory in their new silk lingerie

rest. They want soft, silky things
like the New York girls wear-things
that give the figure the proper lines.
for they are casting aside tweeds and
going in for feminine clothes. We
are speeding up in everything in
London and trying to get a little
New York pep into us.

minutes warning saved the boys. AT
the first crash they began to scurry
toward the stern. The chairs on
which they had been seated, held the
load for a second, and that second
was long enough to permit them to
crawl to safety.
The crash of the falling deck re-
sounded from bow to stern. Many
thought the steamer was sinking
Others thought the boilers had ex-
ploded. Women tainted, and became
hysterical. Children screamed and
men. mostly, appeared struck.
One girl attempted to jump over
board. Officers caught her.
Officers of the boat shouted orders
for people to remain in their places
and keep quiet. Military officers and
Cincinnati police of whom there were
many on board also cautioned against
becoming panic stricken.

the deck Immediately above but

crash and saw the deck drop. True

up a lively tune in which members
put their entire energy. The music
drowned out the cries of the children
and of hysterical women. 1t no
doubt had great effect in preventing
a panic throughout the forward
decks.
Officers Immediately constructed
dead lines on the second deck after
getting all toward the stern and be-
gan to search the debris for any that
might have been caught. In less than
10 minutes. they were able to assure
the passengers that no one was
caught under the fallen deck or had
been killed. Physicians and Red
Cross nurses attended the injured.
Gen. S. B. Stanberry of Cincinnati,
a veteran of the 37th Ohio national

the sectionaIism of Grants and Lee s
time has been effaced, and the geo.
graphical divisions which hindered
the formation of the union and later
threatened its disruption. have given
way to the far less menacing divi-

ExampIefof Opportunity
Grant was himself the supreme
example of American opportunity.
Standing before his humble birth

obscure boyt ood life, one doubts il

one should have sought here for the
military chieftain of a century. We

little Clermont county furnished in
Ulysses S. Grant and Henry G. Cor
bin two of the thirteen lieutenant
generals who have been commissioned
in all our history.
Grant had even less of likelihood
to eminence than his unpronising
and unprophetic beginning. There
was the suggestion of mediocrity in
his development and even the stead
fastness of his early manhood was
stamped with failure. But there was
the Inheritance OF quality. and he
dwelt and grew rugged in the free
dom of democracy.
'Even the beckoning opportunity
of war left him seemingly unfavored
by fate. Politically he was out OF
accord with the master martyr. who
became his command nder in chief. But
he believed in union and the nation
supreme. He brought to the armed
service preparedness to command,
sturdiness of purpose. patience. and
forbearance, great generosity OF soul
and confidence never to be shaken
The seizure of opportunity, more to
serve than to achieve made him VIC

'sOther military leaders hitherto
have mount TO lofty heights in the
annals of human history. 1t is use
less to compare, but it is befitting
to recall that General Grant was not
making conquest of territory or ex-
panding en- pire. He was only seek
ing to preserve. He did not fight to
enslave: he only battled to sustain
Lincoln, whom God inspired to be-
stow freedom. He did not seek to
punish or destroy; he was fighting
to save and reunite. In his heart
were no drastic terms of surrender;
he craved the blessings Of peace re-
stored.

many a revelation of his sturdy char
