THE FAMILIES ASHORE
Eloquent of th© ever-present
hazard of tho sea is the sad
experience of the Mrs. Wilde men
tioued in the early stories of the
Empress of Ireland disaster as
having been among those who
sought information at the London
offices of the Canadian Pacific
line.
Her father, it was related, was
drowned at sea while captain of
the Britannic seveuteeu years ago.
When the Titanic went down two
years ago her first and sixth
officers were Mrs. Wilde's husband
and broiher, respectively, and both
were among the lost. Her only re
maining brother, Cedric Evans,
was third officer of the Empress oi
Ireland and not reported among
the survivors.
A woman bereft of father, hus
band and two brothel's by three
successive mischances at sea should
know the vicissitudes of ocean
travel as few can know them. But
her case is far from unique. As
it suggests, the navigator's calling
runs iu families. Seafaring is al
so the principal business of whole
communities. It will be recalled
that two English towns provided a
great part of the Titanic s crew.
Along our own Atlantic coast and
Canada's are fishing towns whose
cemeteiies contain tho graves of
women and children almost ex
clusively, for the reasou that the
men usually come to their deaths
at sea.
Occasional ocean travelers aud
their friends, who incline to worry
about what might happen, may do
well to coutrast their temporary
and usually needless fears with the
anxiety of thousands of such wonu n
as Mrs. Wilde. To the famili*'-;
of ships' officers and seamen th '
ocean's possibilities must be a
never-ending horror, made altnos
unbearable by the melancholy con
viction that sooner or later the
dread event must eome to pass.
BITCH ERIXG-PRISON" Kits
The evidence accumulates that
the so-called constitutionalists
iu Mexico are making a regular
practice of butchering in cold
blood officers of the federal army
who fall into their hands. After
two recent engagements it appears
that more than fifty of these
prisoners of war were shot while
unarmed and entirely at the mercy
of their foes.
Secretary Bryau and President
V ilson bi'eiii to tliiuk thai the men
who do this savage work can be
trusted to briug Mexico up out of
civil war, bloodshed and barbar
ism and establish a government fit
for the full recognition and confi
dence of the nations of the earth.
They apparently expect to see true
civilization flower on such bloody
stems oi massacre and cruelty.
It is a strange theory, never yet
fully explained. It must have at
It s st an appearance of reason and
simile justification not revealed by
the heads of the Wilsou admin
istration. Possibly they look for
;; remarkable display of unselfish
patriotism on the part of the in
surgeut leaders in Mexico and be
lieve that slayers of unarmed
prisoners of war will step aside
when the hour or triumph comes
and hand over the government to
men of more humane methods and
higher ideals who are not blood
stained or disgraced by the savag
ery ot' a war extremely brutal on
both sides.—Cleveland Leader.
