It was sunk without warning., No time was given to the passengers and crew to get away from the shin, which was the least that should have been dome. That most of them did escape was due to weather conditions 2nd the ex- cellent discipline which had been Practiced aboard the ship. Unless something develops to the contrary, and it is eertain that the full facts will be obtained béfore any sction is taken, it is impossible to interpret this httack as anything else than the German answer to the Amer- fcan note. And in that respect it is possible to wiew it only as an inten- tionaliy unfriendly act. It makes lit- _tle difference whether lives were lost or not, or whether those lost were Americans, those saved owe nothing 10 Germany. There is nothing what- ever in its actions which stands out to its credit. Its act reflects its atti- tude and it cannot fail to receive the serious attention of this government. NO PLACE FOR NEGLIGENCE. Congressman Gardner continues to take an occasional crack at the navy of this country and the way It is ad- ministered, in support of his claim of unpreparedness in the defense of the country. His latest concerns the marksmanship of the navy and when he shows up the smalll percentage of hits which were made by a dozen or so battleshins there appears to be good ground for the claim which he sets forth that there has been a deteriora- tion thereln which is harmful to that departmenat of the government. den Congressman Gardner gives JEures in_this counection he, as well a3 evervone who reads, must realize that thev are entirely valueless, even though they may appear to support his argument, unless they are based upen fasts, According to his figures only 90 of $23 shots fired by the hig guns of the battleships were hits. This means only about 11 per cent. were finding the wark and gives him the opportunity to claim that even it the navy had sufficient ammunition it Wwould still be suffering from this poor condition in warksmanship, Since the congresaman launched his firet Attack upon the lack of preparas tiom, Jt han been found that he knew 1o & surprising extent what he was talking about.

Looking back over past life who of us i pot both surprised and asbamed that, on 50 mean a pert? One may live an exemplary life for long and then, most umaccount- ably, display tendencies that shock his friends and are a puzzle even to himself. It is pasnful to discover that the image has feet of clay, thet what we thought was a character of solid integrity is marred by flaws more or less flagrant. On the front of a handsome stone build.ng there began to appear some dirty yellow streaks tbat ecould Dot be washed or chiseled away, but whick only grew blacker with time. Because. tbe building was being serl- ously defaced, a geologist was culled in to investigate. He found that in imes | several of these blocks of sandstone that had looked so white and fine when put in place there lay hidden, the surface, a small mass of iron pyrites. After the frosts and rains of a year or two this “fool's g0ld” had bezun to rust apd run down in rilis of inky water with the effect that the beauty of the facade was ruined forever. In how many of the sons of men is there some vein of grossness and im- purity that the storms of life may bring to the surface! A taint of blood is liable to manifest itself on short notice. An imherited mortal twist may play us a bad turn in a crisis. The evolutjonist tells us that we have not t wholly emerged from the animal. Dr. Lyman Abbott gives a plausible view of human nature when he say: ery man is two men—a centaur— part animal, part man. We linked to the higher toward which we are tending, and to the lower from which, by the grace of God, we are emerging. There is 3 bit of the fex and ‘he tiger and the serpent in most of us yet.
