THE ARM Or THE WIRELESS
In what was a far more serious dis
aster than that of the Republic of
two years ago, the wireless steps in
and scores another triumph. The
Titanic was not only a, larger vessel
than the Republic, but she carried
several times moie passengers. Like
wise she was further from land at the
time of the accident. The White Star
liner was not only the biggest ship
ofloat, but she was the newest, was
believed to be one of the fastest, and
had all the conveniences and com
forts which luxurious travel has sug
gested and which invention and ex
perience have been able to provide.
She was on her first trip, and on that
account attracted an unusually large
number of distinguished passengers.
Although the vessel sank, the wire
less brought aid which rescued many
of her passengers.
Disaster came to the Titanic from a
source which is always dreaded by
Atlantic voyagers at this time of the
year, but which can not always be
avoided. The icebergs are now on
their travels, and will be for two or
three months longer, and catastrophe
awaits any craft which encounters
them. The 46,000-ton liner, the hugest
vessel ever launched in any sea, is
only a cloak in comparison with the
tremendous weight of some of these
floating masses of ice, many of which
cover acres of area, and extend 200
or 300 feet under water. The shock
of a vessel like the Titanic when, go
ing at the rate of twenty miles an
hour, when it collides with one of
these mountains, can hardly be im
agined. Nothing moveable that has
ever been fashioned by the hands of
man could withstand such an impact.
Happily, ingenuity has devised an
agent which, in some degree, miti
gates the terrors of such disasters.
Here is where the wireless comes to
the rescue of imperiled voyagers. In
the Republic catastrophe Jack Binns,
standing at his post like Casabianca,
won world notice by his presence of
mind and courage, and he has had
many imitators since then. Thousands
of lives have been saved by this de
vice, which is still so new that it has
been placed on only a comparative
few vessels except the larger passeng
er steamers and the great warships.
The work which it has done in saving
many of the passengers of the White
Star liner willl be a reminder to the
world that every country should fol
low the example of the United States
in making its employment compulsory
on all vessels touching at its ports.

Train Schoolboys to
Be Ready For Army
Service
By Captain JOHN H. PARKER of the United States Army
MlAIN the schoolboy into
ine average boy in high school is between fourteen and
twenty yeara of age. At this period of his development his
mind and body are most plastic, one might almost say fluidic.
The MAN IS BEING FORMED AND CRYSTALLIZED.
AT NO TIME IN HIS LIFE IS BOY OR MAN SO SUSCEPTIBLE
TO INFLUENCES, GOOD OR BAD. BEFORE THIS AGE THE BOY IS
TOO YOUNG TO PROFIT ADEQUATELY BY SUCH TRAINING.
After twenty, unless he goes to college, modern conditions require
him to take his place in the ranks of productive workers. The aver
age American boy will terminate his school education with the high
school ; will probably fall short of graduation by a year or so. Utiliza
tion of the high schools for the purpose would reach the average
American boy with one or two years of MILITARY LNSTRTJC-"
TION just at the time when he is most susceptible to such instruc
tion, when his ideals and his character are being formed.
I
Atlantic is far greater volume than
ever before, and when competition
incites captains to put their vessels
to the highest speed which they can
attain, all government should insist
on the use of every precaution for the
safety of travelers which invention
makes possible.
SEX VALUATION IN TIME OF
PERIL
Some persons are intimating that it
would have been well to save some of
the prominent men on the Titanic,
even at the sacrifice of a few of the
women. And such a view is held by
some of the favored sex. This con
ception holds that many of the men
who were left on the vessel to perish
would, if permitted to live, be of far
more value to the world than would
some of the women who were handed
over to the lifeboats. Men like Stead
the reformer; Straus, the philanthro
pist; Futrelle, the writer; Millet, the
writer and artist; Hays, the railway
builder, and others would, if here to
day, be in a position to bring more
benefit to the race than some of those
of the other sex who were preferred
to them in the decree which the catas
trophe arrived.
Although abstractly just, this view
runs up against serious difficulty. It
sets up a social appraisement on
which there would be wide margin of
disagreement. What standard of val
uation as between woman and man,
and man and man, should be estab
lished? Who would formulate it?
Who would enforce it? What would
be the -standard wealth, achieve
ment.social influence, political power,
personal popularity? On these
points where could harmony of opin
ion be found among any half a dozen
persons, women or men? Should
this separation of the sheep from the
goats be left in the hands of the man
on the bridge? Ough this power of
life and death in a crisis like that
which struck the Titinic to be passed
over to the crude and rough and ready
judgement of the petty officer who
stands at the davits and singles out !
the persons who are to enter the
lifeboats, and those who are to be
excluded from them, a large majority
of whom must necessarily be shown
to him?
"Women first is a law of human na
ture," said one of the officers of the
lost vessel, in his testimony before
the senate committee. It is a "law
of human nature" so far as regards
British and American vessels, but on
ships of other .lines it is often dis
regarded. In the catastrophe on the '
French steamer La Bourgogne about
a dozen years ago the brute instinct
of self-preservation seized the crew,
they appropriated the life saving ap
paratus, and a large majority of the
passengers, and all except one of the
women were drowned. The Amer
ican and British rule of the sea has
some important advantages. It sets
up a natural line of division when the
parting of the ways is reached. The
sex line reveals itself to all alike.
It calls lor no ballancing in the social
scales. Garb, contour, physical ap
pearance and not any arbitrary, viri
able, erratic, social standard deter
mines the preferance. While it is a
tribute which the strong everywhere
ought to render to the weak, it is also
a concession to the sex which the
future of the race mainly rests.

SPRING BASEBALL SHOTS
By TOMMY CLARK.
Manager Roger Bresnahan of the St.
Louis Nationals, who bad some trouble
with the holdout members of his team
this spring, recently spoke a few
words that might be made note of by
those ball players who imagine that
their presence in the game is essential
to it continuing as a popular sport.
Bresnahan spoke only au old truth
that we all must recognize thfft the
world will continue to spin and never
miss the best of us but he put it in a
way that a ball player may under
stand. "No man is indispensable in this
business." said Bresnahan. "When I
was with New York people used to tell
me that I was the whole club and that
without me the team would go to
smash; also that McGraw would never
be able to replace me. All that kind
of guff went through one ear and out
the other. I am no longer with the
Giants; still they keep on winning pen
nants and fighting for world's cham
pionships, and I suppose they will still
win one now and then after John Mc
Graw himself is a memory. There
never was a man so good at anything
that one just as good won't appear to
take his place if the gap is made base
ball or anything else."
. True enough, but some of us uever
learn it until we get off the job and
give the "other fei;ow" a chance to
show that he is just as. good as we
were.
Charley Comiskey, president of the
Chicago American league club, says he
has a second Larry Lajoie in Jacques
Fournler, the French Canadian, who
has been holding down first base for
the White Sox. During the spring

with surprising skill and played a bril
liant game at the sack.
Fournier was born In a lumber camp
twenty-one years ago, is a six footer
and weighs 100 pounds. In 1009 Four
nler played in Portland, Ore. Then he
went to Sacramento, and last year he
started with the Moose Jaw team in
the Western Canadian league. Comis
key took him from Boston last winter
by the waiver route and is now con
gratulating himself.
Southern training trips may be ta
booed by major league clubs before
next spring. The experience of a large
majority of the big leaguers in the
south this year has come near to con
vincing the club owners that it is mere
waste of time to make this invasion.
The seasons seem to have changed to
such an extent that there is no assur
ance of having suitable weather re
gardless of ,how far south the play
ers go.
But few teams have had a good
training season this spring. Many of
them spent most of their time sitting
around hotels waiting for the weatherj
to clear. There is a chance, however,
that instead of giving up these trips
the teams will be taken- still farther
south. The Jersey City team had per
fect weather during its entire stay at
the Bermuda islands, and already ma
jor league clubs are thinking of mak
ing trips there.
Griffith of Washington made no mis
take in going to Charlottesville, Va.
He got more work for his players there,
than did many of the teams which
traveled hundreds of miles into the
south. -
John Kling is not the catcher be was
a few years ago He is still an artist
behind the bat, but that throwing arm
which did so much to make the Cubs
a famous team no longer has the pow
er it once had. Kling now throws with
an effort, whereas when he was at his
best there was but little motion when..
be had occasion to throw to the bases.
They are telling a new one on Mike
Simon, Pittsburgh's young catcher.

recently.
"No, thanks; I'm not drinking," re

FLOODS of more trfan usual height have devastated the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys this spring. Cairo, 111., was for several days isolated, all
rail communication with the outside world being interrupted. Most of
the women and children were sent away from the city before the high
est stage of the waters was reached- Hickman, Ky.. and Memphis, Tenn., also
suffered severely. Many people were drowned, and the total money loss is es
timated at more than $10,000,000. Cbngress appropriated $350,000. for the re
pair of the levees, and rations and supplies for the stricken districts were dis
tributed by the National Red Cross society and the war department The
plight of the Ancient Mariner "Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink" was recalled by the situation in many localities, the usual sources of
supply having been contaminated by sewage, so that it was necessary to bring
water from a distance or, as a last resort, to strain and boil that of the river.

You'll be surprised how quickly it will

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
SAVE CAT AND KITTENS
A humane act was performed Thurs
day afternoon by Miss Gladys Green
and Miss Clara Sterns on Eleventh
street, when they saved a mother' cat
- and her three kittens from death.
As the two young women were pass
ing a pile of heavy timbers they heard
the faint mewings of kittens, and
peering beneath the boards saw sev
eral kittens huddled together in the
water that flowed from the hillside
under the boards. The young women
. who live on the West Side, and who
are attending the Oregon City High
School, found that it was necessary
to remove the timbers to get out the
kittens. Dropping their books by the
wayside they set to work removing
the boards, and succeeded in getting
out two, of the half-drowned cats, and
soon after the assistance of . C. C.
Babcock, street superintendent was
obtained and another kitten recover
ed from its perilous position. After
removing several other boards, it was
seen that the mother cat was lying
on her side, pinned down by heavy
timber. It was at first thought she
was dead, but as soon as the board
i was raised from her she disappeared
intoa canyon below the Madison
Street bridge. There was nothing to
do but to care for the helpless kittens
which were about nine days old and
the young women rescuing them took
them to their homes on the West Side.
, The mother cat's eyes when she was
I first found beneath the board were as
I large as saucers. It is not known how
' long she was pinned beneath the tim
bers. The kittens were so tnat tney
were unable to Teach her, and no
doubt all would have died within a
few days.

TO GIVEAWAY SEED
George C. Brownell, ex-mayor and
ex-senator, who' is famous for his gen
erosity, has a big supply of flower
seed which he will give away. The
seed was sent Mr. Brownell by the
government, and he is anxious that
it be used to the best advantage.
"Tell the readers of the Morning
Enterprise," said Senator Brownell,
"that I have the seed, but please say
that I must be careful in the distri-!
bution. That the seed is the best ob
tainable there is no question, for the
United States never gives away any
thing that is inferior, but I must live
up to the rules that accompanied the
big express package. As I said be-
fore I must be careful in the distri
bution. However, I want the flower
i loving people of this city to call at
my office tomorrow and receive sOme
I of the seed." - .

MOOSE ORDER STARTS
WITH 75 MEMBERS
Seventy-five candidates were initi
ated into the mysteries of Moosedom
Thursday evening at Willamette Hall,
at which time Oregon City Lodge No.
91, Loyal Order of Moose was in
stituted by Deputy Supreme Organiz
er, Bert Westcott, assisted by the
degree team of Portland Lodge No.
291, along with about seventy-five
members of that order.
Before institution a short program
was provided by members of the Port
land Lodge and A. Parker surely won
his way into the hearts of the Ore
gon City Moose. Mr. Parker is a fine
entertainer.
The initiation ceremonies were con
ducted by the Portland Degree team
in a very impressive style and along
with Organizer Westcott was given
a unanimous vote pf thanks for their
work and efforts.
After initiation speeches were given
by Walter McGovern, William Rat
cliffe,vFinancial secretary of Portland
Lodge, George Schate and others
from Portland Lodge and also by
Charles Noble, Donald F. Skene and
others of the newly made Oregon City
i Moose.
Organizer Westcott stated that he
I would stay in Oregon City a few
i weeks longer in order to build up
! this lodge as much as possible and
he said that with the earnest support
! of all the members it was possible to
1 make this one of the best Moose
lodges in the state,
j The Moose club rooms will soon be
an assured fact and in the near fu-
ture the "Howdy Paps" will . have a
home of their own.
Organizer Westcott states that he
: has about forty more candidates to
be initiated at the nxet meeting to be
held next week. The Moose here in
tend to live up to their motto, Purity,
Aid and Progress and their slogan is
i "Make Oregon City Lodge No. 961
Loyal Order of Moose the best in the
State."
