arc officially substantiaed IL will not be possible
to predict what action will be taken by the ad-

enough
The precedent set by the German Government

claim we might file, and full compensation in

Yet there are in the present case additional
complications. In the first place we have al

just such cases as that OF the Gulflight In the
Frye case no lives were lost; in this instance
three men died as the result of the attack; one
from heart failure and the others from Jump

General Comment
The Other Mans job.

II the angels differ in function or form OF
service it ia more than likely that even they
sometimes give way to what seems 10 be uni
yersal human frailty each secretly believing
that the other has mission more honorable,
more comfortable more pleasant That Judge
Darlington should covet the dignity OF riding
he horse of a mounted policeman rather than
to sit upon the Federal bench Is not at all
strange. And that the mounted guardian OF
the peace should look with longing eyes upon
the elevated position of a member OF the Ju-
dietary Is quite easy 10 understand.
Every man thinks that the other mans job
Is prefera bic to his own. He only its pleas
ant aspects and knows and can know nothing
of the irritating elements that enter into every
vocation. Each mans problems and cares are
UT sharaby his own, and his courage consists
in hea ring them alone and hiding them from the
