Of living in a section where many
would not walk abroad at night, of
doctors bills, Of walking miles to

browning touch of all, the disappoint-

father and mother could not afford a

After all, the establishment Of
the Government clerk who regards
Uncle Sam as a kindly benefactor

more tragic than the actual depriva-

RISK OF UNARMED SHIPS

"A French merchantmen coming
into an American port armed for
defense is unusual If not unprece-
dented. 1t has never been the prac-
tice of the French to arm their
merchant ships for any purpose
whatsoever. They can be doing this
now only because of the hollowness
Of the whole Berlin position as to
armed merchantmen.
It makes no difference to the sub
marines whether a merchant ship is
armed or unarmed; they torpedo it
just the same, and they torpedo it
without warning just the same. 1t
makes no difference, in most cases,
whether the ship belongs to an en-
envy or to a neutral nation; they
torpedo it just the same, and they
torpedo it without warning just the
same.
Clearly enough the captains of
merchant vessels have come to
realize that on every voyage they
run the risk of having to fight for
their lives anyhow. AS long as
they must be shelled and torpedoed
in any event, it is not strange that
they want to give as good an ac-
count of themselves as brave and
honorable men can when they are
set upon by assassins.

ENDORSE BILL FOR HI
AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
Alexandria County Citizens Sup
port CarIin Measure at Mass
Meeting.

Resolutions indorsing the CarlIn bill
in the House for a new Aqueduct bridge
at or near the present site of that struc-
ture. which connects Georgetown and
Alexandra county, were passed at
mass meeting of citizens of the county
at the courthouse last night.
The meeting was held by the Alexan-
dria County Civic Federation to test
public sentiment in the county as to
the proper location for the bridge. The
federation had previously gone on rec
ord unanimously In favor of an III street
site for the Washington end of the
bridge. A resolution favoring this site,
however, was defeated by a vote of 1OS
to 90 at the mass meeting last night.
The GeorRetown site was Endorsed by
an reclamation vote.
County Clerk George II. Rucker,
Commonwealt Attorney Frank Ball,
Crandall Mackey, former county at
tofney, and William G. Cloth. spoke
in favor OF the Georgetown site.
Among those who spoke for the
direct route favored by the civic fed
Grafton were Thomas Jones, of
Cherrydale; Walter X. Handy, of
Bancroft; Tench 7 Marye, of Park
Lane; r. c. L. MoEcure, OF Fort Myer
Bancroft.
A number of Georgetown business
men were present, but did not take
part In the discussion or vote on the
recommendation as to locating the
bridge.

HARRY doLDMAN's STORY

All that the sociologists said about
the wage scales paid to Federal en-
ployes carried weight. To few, the
tables of living costs prepared by the
experts may have meant something;
but it remained for a $60-a-month
messenger to breath the human in
terest into the Nolan wage bill hear
ings yesterday.
To Harry Goldman every Govern
ment clerk should extend his thanks.
This employee spoke volumes more
from his own experience than all the
Investigators could tell in weeks.
There was no whining nor whimper-
ing, no playing to the galleries, no
plea for sympathy, just a straight
forward account of what had hap
pened to one man with family who
tried living on $50 month in Wash
ington. For this self -revealment, for
this sacrifice of the privacy of home
affairs, Mr.. Goldman deserves the
gratitude of hundreds of other Gov
eminent clerks who suffer the same
hardships but had not the courage to
tell about them.
His story carries weight because
he was one of those who tried to
better his condition, and studied and
planned to do it. Not the least OF
the pity of his tale was that portion
which told of the profitless hours OF
self-improvement trying to get a
promotion from n close-fsted Gov.
eminent.
Goldman's tale, just as he told it
is almost a classic. He made his
auditors feel the desperation of that
self-respect which will not ask fol-
charity, which often is more pitiablC
