he was very interesting. AS he was
only a young nan and the sea was
new to him. he was enthusiastic about
everything and ook great pleasure in
taking us through the wireless rooms
and explaining the different instru-
ments to us.
"One day while we were talking to
him, he TOLD us of a strange dream.
His face, usually open and fearless,
grew pale as he talked. The terror of
the dream seemed to grip him.
while some of the dream was

NEW YORK. Oct. t2.-The report

an inventory of the country's social
assets and liabilities, to determine
whether or not there has been pro

The taking account of stock will

The chairman of the plan and

settlement of economic issues. just as
the close of the 18th and the begin

voted to the solution OF political Isl

1t points out that a new period in
the industrial development of the ma

trusts. the early landmarks being
the organization of the sugar trust in
1885. the enactment Of the first fed
eral Interstate measure
two years later and the passage of
the Sherman act in 1890.
The committee says that the plan
