FTER all, say what we may, even the most democratic of A peoples have still an instinct that there iv a kind of “no- bility” that does “oblige.” Nothing in the whole story of the Titanic disaster has drawn so much attention and applause as the conduct of the men who did) their duty, stood aside for the women and children, and chose to go @own with the ship. Over and over again the public hus expressed | ite*pride and confidence in these “knights without fear and without | teproach.” “!
