The International Conference which is to osnaider the safe guarding of life at sea was opened recently at the Foreign Office by the President of the Board of Trade. The object of the con forence, in brief, is to secure uniform action by the maritime nations with the view of minimising the dangers' which at present attend sea travel. In opening the Conference, Mr. Baxton remarked that much had been done in the past by the maritime. Powers with view to securing, or at least increasing, the safety of life at se, but much remained to be done. The conference, he said, owed its origin to the terrible disaster to the Titanic, which gave food for thought to the whole civilised world, "and brought home the fact that too much confidence-share-l by.ail-had been placed in the scheme of construction of the great modern ocean-going passenger steamer."

The fact that all the great maritime Powers have been stirred, by that awful disaster, into taking junt aotion is a most hopeful sign. The cost was terrible, but since the lesson is being taken to heart and a strong, and joint, effort is being made to deal with the
