The Eastland steamer disaster in the Chicago river Saturday Is another Instance of gred tor money causing negligence which finally cost hundreds of lives any single one worth more than the ship and Its entire profits. The steamer which turned over and in few seconds snuffed out hundreds of lives had been known as a "had actor" among lake men.

and many predictions were made that she would come to a had end. As a matter of fact the boat was driven off Lake Krie because it was unseaworthy. With all this information at hand the boat's owners leased ft as a picnic boat and made the tragedy greater by permitting it to be crowded to the capacity of the safest crafts. The owners of the boats may be held responsible in civil and criminal courto but this will not restore the life of any one babe, girl, woman or men that perished. The responsiblity for the sinking is more than a proposition of law or rules and regulations.

The investigations that have been ordered may stamp somebody with the stain of taking human lives and be Just All this does not remove that fact that such an accident should not have been possible. If tne laws of Illinois or the United States were not sufficient to cause the abandonment of the "death" ship, the danger so well known by its owners should have caused them to act without compul ion. Also, it might be well to ask if there are others of the Eautland type in use. Thi. week marks the first annlver eary of the great war.

For twelve months the men of Europe. Aaja, vun ca, Australia and North America have been killing" each other. And with each dead soldier comes a broken broken heart of mother, wife, child or sweetheart Studendous sums have been spent In killing and the end Is not in sight.

England's greatest victory in this year old war was won before the war started. Forty or fifty years from now the Germans willing when the British desire to honor the heroes of the great war, they doubtless will erect Imposing statues of Sir John French, Sir Douglas Halg, Sir Ian Hamilton, Sir John Jellicoe, Sir Frederick Sturdee and Admiral John De Robeck. They may even include Lord Kitchener, although if a popular vote were taken at the present time, 'it a hardly likely the verdict in Kitchener's favor would bo unanimous. But If the English nation shourd fail to recognize in thiB distribution of awards a certain blond, blue eyed statesman of dandified mien and lisp Ing voice, who by the fortunes of politics happened to be the First Lord of the Admiralty in the summer of 1914, it will demonstrate that other forms of government besides republics are grateful. "Brittania rules the waves" today because Winston Churchill.

To hU foresight, Imagination and nerve Is due tne tact that when the war lord threw down his gauntlet the British fleet was ready. England's command of the eas was assured before Kaiser Wll helm began scattering war declam Jions through the chancellories of Eu rope. Perhaps Churchill knew. Anyhow, most of his colleagues in the cabinet didn't believe him. He acted in spite of them.

His resignation lay on the table, to be taken up if events should prove that he was wrong. Early in July the grand fleet had assembled off the south eoast of England for Us annual play at war. The maneuvers followed tlieir usual course and under all the rules, the fleet should have been scattered a week before July 28, the day Austria declared war against Serbia. The next day three days i before Germany declared war against Russia, five days before te declared war against Frauce and near ly a week before England officially en tered the fray Churchill converted the prolonged maneuvers Into the real thing. On the night of July 29, there was flashed through newspaper offices of London the brief announcement, "The British fleet has left Portland under sealed Where It went, the writer didn't know then, he does not know now and if he did, he would not dare tell.

It lan't necessary to know. The results are sufficient The main fleet kept together, with superior force ready to meet the Germans should they come out without previous ly notifying Great Britain of their intention, with scouts thrown out toward the German coast to watch for them, and patrols to guard the coast of England. There may be some doubt about Eng land's assistance to the allies upon the land. There can be no question ol her sen ices upon the water.

(First Story) Berlin, July 26.

Germany looks back upon her accomplishments of the first year of the war with satisfaction. Th6 Germans believe the events of the past twelve months have demonstrated to the world that the Teutons are the mightiest race of all history. No other country could have withstood the combination of world powers which Germany has kept at bay since last August, declare the Germans, and no other country has ever so deeply stirred the imagination or the world. Germany has won her claim to a place in the sun. The German empire has added brilliant chapters to the his tory of Teutonic might begun under the Hohenzolierns of the kingdom of Prussia.

The kaiser himself has eurn cd for himself the title of William the Great, which rosterity Bureiy wju stow upon him. These are the domi nant belief of the German people at the close of the first year of the war. Germany has shown up the world in all its littleness, and all its boastings of false greatness. Only the Germans have withstood the test of blood and lrvn for only the Germans have galiied victories during the past fateful twelve nionths. Germany believes she has changed the whole future course of hlBtory.

German influence upon the future civilizations for generations to coine v. Ill be far beyond the Influence of any other nation. Germany will not dominate the world by her armed might, but by her virtues which have given to her a greater capacity for organization and discipline than all the rest of Europe compined possesses. When the Germans look back to last August and recall the threates that then were being made against them, and the penalties that were Imposed by England, France and Russia In advance of the trial by battle, the nation laughs. The world didn't understand: Germany last summer.

It Is beginning to learn now the Hohenzollern empire has progressed during the years since the Franco Prussian war ways unsuspected by the rest of mankind. There la nothing in the Get Lman of today that wasn't put there ny tue discipline and study that the world knows under the name of Teutonic "kuitur." The Increasing respect paid to 'German "kult'Jr" is not one of the least victories the Germans declare they hnine won for thom.sslvoa during ine Past year. Nothing came as a greater snock to the Germans last year than the way In hich their kuitur" was everywhere derided. The comments passed upon Germany for herong belief in her own destiny, as represented by her kuitur" caused more resentment than anything else that happened in the early days' of (he war. The German indignation at last changed to contempt as the idea grew that the world laughed at "kuitur" because the world had been left so far behind by German progress as to be unable to understand the Gormen point or viev.

This has grown as Germany has shown her ability to thrive on misfortune, and tc rise to heights of attainment capable of meeting every new task Imposed upsn the nation. Each new victory on the battlefield and in departments of internal organization has been regarded as one more proof that the Germans really are the world's super men. German kuitur" is now firmly believed to have conquered all opposition and to have established its pre eminence among adverse conditions such as uever beCore have had to be encountered by the aspirations of any nation in all "history. the Court House on Worden Day.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. (United Press Staff Correspondent) (First Story.) Paris, July 28. "The great world war is one year old this week What has France accomplished?" I put this question to M. Jean Crup pl, ex minister of foreign affairs, member of the chamber of deputies and of the foreign relations a man physically not very unlike Theodore Roosevelt. He replied: "France accomplished the defeat of the Germans in the battle of the Marne; she stopped the German drive for Calais and the sea; she has kept Germany nailed to the spot for ten long months, steadily reducing her by attrition; she has done many other big things but the greatest of all was the dropping of Internal differences, her unification of all classes with one, great fled purpose In view; Victory." "Yes," he continued earnestly, "our word 'union' means something more than the harmony of our people; there Is something of the sacred in it.

This sacred union will last France is as one man with one Idea; final success, cost what it may! The war, no doubt, will be long but the courage and patience of our people will be equal to the task of seeing It through. "In short perhaps, the greatest ac complishment to France's credit In the last twelve months la that she has found herself." To appreciate fully M. Cruppi'a words one has but to glance back at the France of the years just preceding tho war; France, the antithesis of Germany where collectivism is the na tional passion; France, the nation of Individual workers and thinkers where no two people could be expected to agreo on any subject In the chamber of deputies there are a score or more parties instead of two or throe as is the case in the United States. The Drqyfus affair split the nation Into two, hostile camps and each camp into others with, varying opin ions. The Cailluax case to some extent did the same thing.

All manner of pessimistic talk was heard on cafe terraces and even In drawing rooms. A sad fate was is storo for the land. Surely a revolu tion was coming. Another restoration was on the way, some said, while oth ers declared a second commune could not be averted. Treason, It seemed, was on all sides and in high places; mong political leaders, so it was in tlmated, one was as bad as another, or worse if this were possible which was not The theater gave the impres alon that even French home life was rotten.

things one saw and heard In Paris gav one a ratber gloomy feel ing that is if he believed al! be saw and heard. One got the idea that re trlotism was a lost emotion in France. Some said the revolutionaries had the upper hand among the Socialists and that the Socialists were running things. Labor, they said, was ruling capital, and labor and Socialists, by their general strike doctrine, had their bancs at the throat of the nation. Tho Gustave Herves were the real masters of the land, and Gustave Herve, you remember, editor of the Social War, spent a time in prison because he ad vocated a general strike, or rebellion among the soldiers in the event Franc should go to war with another nation.

In short the world, too busy to go below the surface of things, considered France too highly educated. The individual had too much sense, too much imagination. He could talk but be could not fight Should a foreign power Jump on France, Frenchmen would argue among themselves what ought to be done, each man advocating something different while French sill IT Hi 'Jntted Pref Leaned Wire: Los Angeles, CaL, July 26. ''Hell's Hundred1 is what old timers call the 100 miles of Mexican border between Tia Juana and Mexican, the 'two toughest towns" on the American continent And on that 100 mile stretch America's last frontier a handful of United States Inspectors is today fighting a guerilla warfare with scores of white, black and tan smugglers whose sole object In life is to beat Uncle Sam's custom laws. They have been fighting the war for months.

The end is not in sight Far away from telegraphs and telephones there are almost daily skirmishes. They never break into the newspapers. Gangs of frightened, sheeplike Chinese are rounded up sometimes while the agents attempting to sneak them over the "border flee with bullets droning above them. Desperadoes with automobile cargoes of opium match their motors against the ponies of the inspectors and again the bullets drone. Battles havo been fought in the desert mountains and in.

the alkaline beds of dried up oceans. Occaslonaiiy someone is killed, or a batch of prisoners captured. But the censorship of lonely wastes devoid of telegraph or telephone proves a stronger bar to news than the censorship of Europe. The war is directed from Los An gcles. "Jack" Elliott, collector of the fort of Los Angeles, is commander in hclef.

He sits in his office and gets reports. He issues secret orders. Sometimes bronzed youths with bandaged hands or heads confer with him seriously. Once every few weeks he sheds his business suit, dons khaki and a sombrero and disappears, to return awhile later, sunburned, saddle sore and determined. "The boys are doing well," he says.

It means volumes. It means that here and there along the enlpty stretches at "Hell's Hundred" young Americans are slowly trotting their horses, or making their blanket beds ith sky for a roof and the moon for a lamp, shivering by night and swelter ing by day, always alert for the purr of a distant motor, the flash of light on the horrizon that moans smugglers, Chinks and a fight Most of the smugglers have their headquarters in Tia Juana, fourteen miles from San Diego, or Mexican, 100 miles east. Their denizens always face toward California, for to cross the line with contraband means profit And between these two outposts of Gehenna and civilized southern Cali fornia with its rrosaic Jitney busses end its little green bungalows there is nothing but this thin, line of bronzed young horsemen who watch and fight case Dunets and give them, twentv four hours a day, unknown and appre ciated.
