By tHeir bat- tle with the waters of the Gulf ot Mexico they have suffered the loss of friends and relatives and their prop- erty has been damaged to the extent of $10,000,000. Complete returns of the disaster have not yet been re- ceived owing to the crippling of the telephone and telegraph services; but at worse the disaster of 1915 can in no measure with the dreadful one of 1900 when more than five or six thousand people were swept away in the tidal wave. And the reason the loss of life by last Tuesday’s storm is comparatively of the wonderful way the people of Gal- veston set about the work paring for its coming. sea wall saved them, for the most part, this time. But, the waters pounded down part of this wall, and it must be re-built. From the lesson learned this week the wall is not high enough. Therefore, a greater task is before the people of Gualveston. They must set to work and make that wall bigger and greater than ever. It must be built high enough to prevent the waves washing over it as thewm did last Tuesday when five feet of water flooded the city’s streets. Ana the people of Galveston will do this. They are imbued with the great spirit of progressiveness characteristic of Americans. They will never say die. Situated as no other community in the country, they have builded a great city under conditions that would | dishearten less sturdy souls. The growth of Galveston has been the pride of the nation. May it continue to go on in its wonderful progress, prepared against invasion by the enemy waters and free from future disaster. This is the concerted wish of the American people in North, South, East and West. small is because of pre- Their great MUNICIPAL NATATORIUMS, Chicago has set aside one million dollars for the purpose of teaching the children of the city to swim. is but the outgrowth of the Eastland tragedy whica result- ed in the drowning of almost one thousand women and children within twenty feet of safety. Had a ma- jority of these little ones known how to handle themselves in the water there are many who believe the death | st Would not have been sreat. Those on the inside of the steamer, of course, never had a chance; but the people on the top deck and those on the side that remained uppermost | after the vessel turned over so could have swam to safety had they been | properly instructed in the art. One of the crying shames of our American cities is that for the most | part absolutely no provisions | made for the instruction of boy: girls in the natatorial art. are s and No proper swimming pools are thrown open to the growing youngsters who would not only derive health and strength from the exercise afforded them but would be able to protect themselves in the event of any calamnity on the water. Of all the tragedies we read it is the city bred child who suf- fers when a boat is sunk, overtipped. This because they are either forbidden by their parents to go swimming in the river, or because the city provides no place for them to be instructed in swimming. city should have a natatorium. In a few of our larger cities there are municipal swimming pools where the yvouth of the population may go for instruction under competent swimming masters. But cities af- fording this opportunity are few and far between and the accomodations are not always adequate.

(New York Times.) These German propagandists were as blind as hats. They were seeking covertly and secretly, by intrigue and device, and in disguise, to enter where the door was wide open and the hand of welcome cxtended. The American press has been prodigal in its expenditure of money and space ! for the presentations of German views and German news. The Times nas printed unnumbered columns of contributions fom pens of weight and | authority engazed in the defence of | Germany and in making known the German attitude and policy. Other newspapers have been liberal in the | exposition of the German side of the | war questions. German views and' German arguments were put before | te American people from the very be- ! ginning of the war. They weve | judgd by the American people. There ; was not only not the slightest occa- sion for underground work, there was visible proof that it would be fu- land tragedy will not have been in vain.
