1TVE HEROES WHO STAND OCT
PROJUNENTLV IX DISASTKR.
Chief Surgeon Grant, of the Em
press of Ireland, did heroic work for
injured, though badly hurt and ex
hausted himself.
Sir Henry Seton-Karr forced an
other man to take life belt, went
back for a second belt for himself
and was drowned.
Laurence Irving;, actor, told a.
friend, "Save yourself and God bless
you.'
Chief Officer Steed was killed by
s. fall when aiding passengers.
Commissioner Rees, of the Salva
tion Army, stood on deck persuading;
passengers to keep cool. He went
down with the ship, saying, "O God,
thy will be done."
Captain Kendall, universally praised
for his caution before disaster, went
down with the ship, but was picked
up by a lifeboat.
QUEBEC, May 30. (Special.) Every
disaster like that which befell the Em
press of Ireland seems to bring at least
one man who stands out above all
others for coolness, resource and cour
age. Those are the men who control
mobs and who bring order out of chaos.
The survivors unite in bestowing
such honors on Dr. James F. Grant, a
1913 graduate of McGill University, the
ship's doctor. They praise the manner
In which he calmed the terror-stricken,
kept hope alive in the breasts of those
who felt themselves bereaved of loved
ones, calmed the ravings of those the
shock had unsettled and went among
the rescued and gave them prompt and
efficient treatment. The doctor was
pulled from a porthole by men who
stood on the side of the ship after she
had careened over. He slid into the
water as the great hull dropped from
beneath him and swam out to the lights
of the collier which had wrought the
tragedy. He was picked up by one
of tho boats of this ship and in this
returned to the scene and aided in the
rescue work.
Order Restored Amid Horror.
Then he boarded the Storstad and
out of the confusion that made the
grimy collier a place of horror brought
a semblance of order. Down in the
engine-room men were shrieking and
screaming. Women were there trying
to warm their chilled bodies and dry
their draggled clothing. He quieted
the riot of the foreigners. All -over
the ship he went, doing his duty man- I
fully.
Dr. Grant Is young but on his feat
ures there is the mark of capability.
Asked for his story of the disaster, he
gave a graphic account. There were
interruptions. Women wanted him for
a moment, women whoses nerves had
become readjusted since the terrors of
that night. He would excuse himself
for a moment, and then, returning, he
would smile gently and resume his nar
rative. 'An attempt was made to lower the
boats on the starboard side," he said.
"The first one was thrown clear and
the sailor in it was thrown out. A
boat was overturned. Then some of
the port boats were flung across the
deck by the list of the vessel and sev
eral persons were killed. They were
crushed to death against the rail. I
believe that the chief officer. Mr. Steele,
loHt his Ufe when these boats cata
pulted tlieir.way through the crowd.
Cruwil Mmmvs Ko Disorder.
"There was no disorder among the
crowd. The captain and other officers
remained on the bridge until the ves
sel sank. It was 17 minutes from the
time she was rammed until she sank
below the surface. Comparatively only
a few were able to obtain life beltd
and practically all were forced out in
their night attire into the icy water.
Sevural hundred clung to the ship
until she sank, holding to the rail and
standing on ,. tii plates of the side.
Then as she keeled over further they
slid down into the water as - though
they were walking down a sandy beach
into the water to bathe.
"Then there were several hundred
swimming around in the water scream
ing for help, shrieking as they felt
themselves being carried under, and
uttering weird moans of terror.
"The catastrophe was so sudden that
scores never left their bunks. Added
to this was the fact that the passengers
had been on the ship only a day and
were not yet familiar with their sur
roundings. In the confusion and the
semi-panic many could not find their
way to the deck, and only a few knew
how to reach the boat deck. This waa
largely the reason why so many were
lost."
necessary. - The- very - organization of
society will be guarantee of peace.
"Therefore, this peculiar thing comes
about, that we can stand here and
praise the memory of these soldiers in
the Interest of peace. They set us the
example of self-sacrifice, which if fol
lowed in peace will make it unneces
sary that men should follow war any
more.
"We are reputed to be somewhat
careless in our discrimination between
words in the use of the English lan
guage and yet it is interesting to note
that there are some words about which
we are very careful .
I'nselfishnrss Is True Nobility.
"We bestow the adjective -'great"
somewhat indiscriminately. A. man
who has made, conquest of his fellow
men for his own gain may display such
genius In war, such uncommon quali
ties of organization leadership, that
we may call him 'great'; but there is
a word which we reserve for men of
another kind, and about which we are
very careful; that is the word 'noble.
We never call a man "noble" who serves
only himself; and if you will look about
through all the nations of the world
upon the statues that men have erect
ed upon the inscribed tablets where
they have wished to keep alive the
memory of the citizens whom they
would most honor you will find that
almost without exception they have
erected the statue to those men who
have a splendid surplus of courage to
spend upon their fellowmen.
"Nobility exists in America without
patent. We have no House of Lords,
but we have a house of fame in which
we elevate those who are the noble
men of our race, . who, forgetful of
themselves, study and serve the public
interest, who have the courage to face
any number and any kind of adversary,
to speak what in their hearts they be
lieve to be the truth.
Two Kinds of Courage Needed.
"We admire physical courage, but we
admire, above all things else, moral
courage. I believe that soldiers will
bear me out in saying that both come
in time of battle. I take it moral cour
age comes in going in the battle and
the physical courage in staying in. And
there are battles which are Just as hard
to go into and just as hard to stay in
as the battles of arms; and if the man
will but stay and think never of him
self there will come a time of grateful
recollection when men will speak of
him not only with admiration, but with
that which goes deeper, with affection
and with reference.
"So that this flag calls upon us daily
for service, and the more quiet and
self-denying the service, the greater the
glory of the flag. We are dedicated to
freedom, and that freedom means the
freedom of the human spirit. All free
spirits ought to congregate on an occa
sion like this to do homage to the
greatness of America as illustrated by
the greatness of her sons. '
"It has been a privilege to come and
say these simple words, which I am
sure are merely putting your thoughts
into language, and I thank you for the
opportunity to lay this little wreath
of mine upon these consecrated graves."
Clark's Reception Tumultuous.
In his introduction of Speaker Clark.
Dr. Gleeson spoke of the Missouri
leader as "the man who has always
been a friend of the soldier, who is al
ways fair and fights in the open."
Mr. Clark's reception was tumultuous.
Senator Reed Smoot. of Utah, also
spoke. Hilary A. Herbert, ex-Secretary
of the Navy, and many prominent Con
federates were seated on the speakers'
platform. On June 4 the United Con
federate Veterans will unveil a monu
ment to their dead in Arlington Ceme
tery, and the Grand Army of the Re
public will participate In the ceremony.
resiaent Wilson also will speak on
that occasion.
At the Capitol Grand Army veterans
placed tlags and flowers on the statues
of Washington, Jefferson and othe.-s in
tne Hall or Fame. Representative Beall.
of Texas, put large bouquets of roses
on the statues of Generals Robert E.
Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. A large floral
wreatn decorated the Lincoln statue,
having been placed there by Mrs. Win
nie Ream Hoxie, the sculptress.
Many Senators and Representatives
spent the day out of town, some ad
dressing Memorial day meetings in
nearDy cities.
LABELS HAVE ADDED YEARS
Food Guarantee Legend to Remain
Until May 1, 1916.
WASHINGTON, May 30. The Depart
ment of Agriculture . has postponed
until May 1, 1916. the time when the
new regulations abolishing the guar
antee legend of the pure foods and
drugs act will become effective. Re
cently the department decided that the
legend "guaranteed by (name of guar
antor) under the food and drugs act,"
which has been commonly used by
manufacturers, was misleading and de
ceptive and ordered its abolishment
after May 1, 1915.
The reason for the postponement was
that many manufacturers already had
supplied themselves with large quan
tities of labels which could not be used
up by May 1. 1915, and which would
have cansprt heavy losses.

them the spiritual re-establishment of
the Uulon: for they have not only re
united states, but they reunited the
spirits of men. That is their unique
achievement, unexampled anywhere
else in the annals of mankind, that the
very men whom they overcame In bat
tle Join In praise and gratitude that
the Union was saved. There is some
thing peculiarly beautiful and pecul
iarly touching about that.
"Whenever a man who is still trying
to devote himself to the service of the
Nation comes into a presence like this,
or into a place like this, his spirit must
be peculiarly moved. A mandate is
laid upon him which seems to speak
from the very graves themselves.
Those who serve this Nation, whether
in peace or in war, should serve the
Nation without thought of themselves.
War Jm Lesson to Feare,
"1 need never speak in praise 'of
war; you would not desire me to do so.
But there is this peculiar distinction
belonging to the soldier, that he goes
into au enterprise out of which he him
self cannot get anything at all. He Is
giving everything that he hath, even
his life. In order that others may live,
not In order that he himself may ob

as the tasks of peace are performed In
