New York, Nov 1O-Thc committee
which is investigating the merchant
marine and ship subsidy questions,
with view to reporting to Congress
mex; month, began a new probing in
New York today. Friends and foes of
the merchant marine project are be
coming bitter in their charges and
counter-charges and the committee
is likely TO receive some sensational
testimony
1t the present time, it was pointed
out today. approximately ninety per
cent, or S3,l5O,0o0Ooo of the annual
foreign trade of the United States is
carried in foreign bottoms. This bust

What will be done with the Panama

A laWyer,s Paradise.

Naples. under Spanish rule in the
eighteenth century. was oyerrun with
lawyers. Of their profusion Joseph
Addison had this to say:
ut is incredible how great a multi
tude of retainers to the law there are
at Naples. 1t is commonly said that
when Innocent XI. had desired the
Marquis of Campo to furnish him
with 10000 head of swine the mar
quis answered him that for his swine
he could not spare them. but If his
holiness had occasion for 10000 law
yers he had them at his service"
1t seems to have been golden age
for lawyers. for. as the author says.
"there are very few persons of con-
sideration who have not cause de-
pending, for when Neapolitan has
nothing else to do he generally shuts
himself up in his closet and falls a
tumbling over bis papers to see If he
can start lawsuit and plague bis

Technically Gentlemen.

There is only one strictly technical
definition of gentleman-a man entitled
to bear coat armor. In the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries 1t was
used with this significance. and the
secondhand bOokstall hunter will oc-
casionally find 'So-and-so. gentle
man." written on dusty and stained fly

out. for now any one may use arms
who chooses to pay for an arms IL
cense. The inland revenue takes your
guinea or two guineas without inquir-
ing as to your right to bear arms. And,
though the heralds' college has the
right to grant arms to those who can
afford to pay the necessary fees. 1t
cannot prevent people from using
arms to which they have no right
