manned by three fishermen, reached
the Evelyn's side with difficulty.
When the transfer of the schooners
crew from their wrecked vessel to the
small boat had been accomplished and
the boat headed for the opening in the
cliffs the wind shifted. The boat was
carried out of its course despite the

rock at the foot of the cliffs a mile

pounding seas on the other the little

rocky shelf.
The fight for life and their second

them which they dropped over the

them To safety, one ny one. The fish

to leave anyone behind and was the
last To be pulled To safety.

the Swift beef cases as authority for Il
holding that 60 per cent. was too large
a proportion.
But in that case, those who com
binod were competitors" interrupted
Chief Justice White. DO You mean to
contend that mere size violates The
law"
Not mere size in dollars, but size
which is an undue proportion"
Near the conclusion of the days ar
gumcnt Chief Justice White remarked
that Attorney General Wickersham
expressly disclaimed taking such Il po-
siticn in the recent tobacco case. The
solicitor general retorted that he did
not consider that precluded the gov
ernment taking the position in Il case
where no unfair competition was
charged
''if the present attitude OF the gov.
eminent is not correct, the sooner bus
inerr men know it. the better" decar-
ed Mr. Bullitt.
Charles T.. Choate. 5r.. and Frederick
p. Fish, attorneys for the indicted Off
Gals. were questioned as closely in re-
gard to the Tying clause leases Of
to his undue proportion" argument.
Mr. Ghoat told the court that the
reason the defendants had procured
a large proportion Of the business was
because their machines were the best
and Were patented.
What was the occasion then for
the Tying clause contracts if the
trade would come to you anyway"
queried Justice Pitney.
In reply Mr.. Choate said the paten.
law gave the company an absolute
monopoly over1he machines and in
stead Of the leases being a restraint
of trade, they were in relaxation of
lawful .restraint
Mr. Fish emphasized the point that
the4'.undue proportion" argument fell
short because the patent laws gave
the company a right to possess 100
per cent. of the trade
''of course, it is the intent of the patent
law that you shall restrain the trade
which is covered by your patent" inter
rupted Justice White, but was it the in
tention that you should restrain any of
the trade covered by other personss pa
tents?.'
While Mr. Fish was answering the chief
justice asked another question::
And isn't the encouragement of eco
nomic combination into one plant destruc-
tive of the whole patent law?n
I'm what way?' asked Mr.. Fish.
Doesn't the patent law grant patents
to one because it aims to stimulate others
to invent? Then If you allow three or
four to combine patents. you take away
the incentive to patent"
Mr.. Fish did not agree. He said many
improvements in the art had occurred
since the merger.

enormous sacrifices to keep intact
their national characteristics, having
their own schools, churches and clubs.
Finally Greece occupied them, losing
lives and money in doing so. Now the
Hellenic flag waves over them, warmed
by our most brilliant sun.
What arguments can be opposed
to our claims? That Samothrak. I'M

der the preteXt that such action would
he a threat against the neighboring
coast, and the Bulgarians be given Ad-
rianople which they have not yet cap
tured and from which they really could
threaten Constantinople?
The only phrase thus far ventured
as kind of justification is that Greece
cannot possess all the islands on ac-
count of the equilibrium in the Medi-
terranean. The Christian Powers will
have to employ their Dreadnoughts
and their cannon TO drive out the
Christian Greeks from their own
islands and hand them back to the
horrors and tyranny of the Turks.

never could return home"
The Greeks are recalling the official
declaration made by the Italian
Premier Signor Giolitti, concerning the
islands occupied by Italy during the
Turco-Italian war The declaration
was made in the Italian chamber of

said Italian occupation of the lands in

Premier had asked for guarantees for
the protection of the inhabitants of
the islands in case of evacuation by
the Italians. If this evacuation took
place after the conclusion of peace
Italy could fulfil whatever terms were
agreed upon in the treaty between
Turkey and the Balkan allies. There

cannot imagine Italy as acting in her

taken this stand to please Germany or
Russia. Germany is supposed to
aspire to a part of Asia Minor and
