The arrival on this side of the At- lantic of the steamer Chaltern Range with her bow stove in and the story of an encounter with a large iceberg, at a point near where the great disaster of last spring occurred, only points out more clearly the need of exercis- ing the greatest care and attention to the operation of steamships, whether pessenger or freight in the territory where the icebergs can be expected to be. There was the Titanic catastrophe as the terrible lesson of speed and fail- ure to heed warnings, as though it had happened vesterday, and the pa- trols from two countries scouring the high seas as an added protection to transatlantic travel, yet the experience of the freight steamer was such as to emphasize the great importance of ex- ercising personal responsibility. Pro- gress in ice flelds during fog is of the most perilous character, however care- fully it is pursued, and it is likely that reduced speed on a slow boat was the reason for the freighter's escape from a much worse situation. 1t indicates most conclusively that speed must be sacrificed in behalf of safety for with all the provisions against danger and all the require- men in behalf of safe ocean travel there must be the exercise of judgment the part of officials. ed Where such dangers do not exist oc navigation fs reasonably safe, but with a com- bination of icebergs and fog there is a danger which the most fearless nav- igator or steamship line should respect. on COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.

IN BEHALF OF PEACE. The decigion which moved the com mittee made up of Britons and Amer feans to extend an invitation to all nations to participate in the peace elebration which is planned to he held at Ghent on the anniversary of one hundred years of peace between this country. and England, was well made. There is reason for observing the cen- per- tenary of peace with England but haps even more so with the ot nations with which this intry never been at war. The date occurs at a time when seve other centenaries of peace between nations fall. Within a few months of the signing of peace between this country and England, a similar step was taken between Eng- land and France and it has since been maintained while not for a has there been a Furopean war though it has often been predicted. What is more appropriate at a when universal peace is being so erally advocated and the pros peaceful conditions being again es- tablishea in the Balkans than that there should be a gathering of nations aronnd the standard of peace, not only the sgake of the past, but for the tnfluence of the future?

In the first place, Winona believed that the numerous suitors for her hand were merely after her meney. She had not stopped to realize that her eyes were gloriously blue and her hair a shining mass of cepper, nor did she know that her character was lov- able and her mentality above the av- erage. All she reckoned on was the fact that her money was a snate for fortune hunters and she doubted her swains, one and all. Secondly, she sighed because she had had a splendid art education, vet wealth and social obligation had kept her from manifesting her talent. Win- ona had taken a course in interior decorating and in her heart she felt that she would reach supreme heights of happiness if she were allowed to dab paint on the walls of aderable lit- tle bungalows. Thirdly, she sighed and perhaps she sighed deepest—over the fact that a real man, the kind that would take her heart and life by storm, had failed to appear on her horizon. “Perhaps 1 am just naturally hard deeply. She felt sighing were to please,” she reasoned, “but I sim- ply cannot love a man who idles about in a steam yaeht or touring car all day and who haunts the cabaret res- taurants by night.” queezed itself from beneath b lashes: then a second and third.

And after all —the feminine mind sheuld know lms)re abeut a home than the mascu- ine. Had Winona realized the praise that | Davenpert was giving her in his mind she would have been even happier in those days of work when the bunga- lows were progressing at a splendid rate. But she did not know it and her heart was beginning to feel that a real man had entered upon her horizon Notwithstanding her first impression she knew that John Davenport was 2 man whom any girl could be proud of winning.
