A Georgia Funeral.

Here is \an extract taken from
one of the famous speeches made by
Henry W. Grady, and in these few
words he speaks whole Volumes
and all plain facts.
1T was 'one-gallus' fellow,
whose breeches struck him under
the armpits and hit him at the other
end about the knee. He didn't be-
lieve in decollete clothes. They bur-
led him in the midst of marble
quarry; they cut through solid mar
BILE to make his grave; and yet lit
tie tombstone they put above him
was from Vermont. They buried
him in the heart of pine forest, and
yet the pine coffin was imported
from Cincinnati. They buried him
within touch of an iron mine, and
yet the nails in his coffin and the iron
in the shovel that dug his grave were
imported from Pittsburg. They
buried him by the side of the best
sheep-grazing country on the earth,
and yet the wool in the coffin bands
themselves was brought from the
north.
"The south didn't furnish a thing
on earth for that funeral but the
corpse and the hole in the ground.
And they put him away and the clods
ratified down on his coffin. And
they buried him in a New York coat
and a Boston pair of shoes and a pair
of breeches from Chicago and shirt
from Cincinnati, leaving him nothing
to carry into the next world with
him to remind him of the country
in which he lived, and for which he
fought for four years, but the chilled
blood in his veins and the marrow in
his bones"

The Man They Cannot Forget

war has loosed have none of the
restraints that war compels, and we
must, by reason and good will and
patience, restore our controls-that
terrible period We speak of as recon-
struction. There, too, he kindled Xn-
thusiam. "Now,' he said, "let us do
what men have long dreamed-give
to each people it's chance, cut down
the foolish barriers of trade, limit
our ornaments, enter into union
of all nations pledged to cooperation
and peace
These peoples of the earth rallied
to his plan, pledged themselves. And
then the loosed passions began their
war on him. Those who wanted
peace and believed it easy; those who
hated peace and believed it impossi-
BILE; those who envied his place, diff
fered with his judgments, failed OF
his favor-these and many more
Joined in an attack such as few men
ever faced in the history of this
earth. He fought to finish, that ne
might secure the pledge of the ma
tions of the idear of world coopera-
tion.
He won-won with the peoples of
the world, if not with all OF their
governments. They look him as
the man who drove that id "a so deep
into the soul of the nations that no
man or men can ever destroy it. it
has become an asset of tormented hu-
manity, possible way out of slaugh-
ter and hate. Through all the future,
men will be building upon it, adapt
ing, expanding, as men have built on
Washington's work, on Lincoln's
work, knowing that their efforts rest
on something essentially sound and
secure.
They are simple people, remember,
those thousands whose hearts he had
enkindled. They are the people VINO
do the work of the world, and their
minds are easily bewildered. "He
has deceived you," they were told.
HE has given you dreams. Dreams
are not for men. You live by realities,
not ideals. Out with him! Down
with him! AS a great nation, you
have strength, you have gold. Keep
them. Stand alone. Do not forget
that you do not live by ideals -
And the people withdrew-bewild-
cred. But the shouting over, they re-
membered their long days of exalta-
ton, of sacrifice, of freedom and
boldness, of worthwhileness. Was it
only a deception? Was all they had
felt mere magic of words on their
unframed minds, the stir of fleet
ing passion in their lives? Was there
no sense, no reality, in it all?
That is what thousands upon thous-
ands have been asking in these past
days. And slowly they are turning
to him who led them. His suffering
face and palsied side are symbol
of their crippled hopes. How is it
with HIM." they ask, "a living sacri-
fee to that faith and that vision?
Does ne still believe? Has he lost
faith as we'll as strength"
And so they seek him. He means
something to them; they don't quite
know what. He is living link with
their noblest phase. Those who de-
stroyed that phase are giving them
nothing in it's place. What does it
all mean? And so they follow his
carriage, gather before his house,
stand in rain and snow and cold be-
fore the tneater to get even the most
fieeting glimpse, something that will
bid them live again as they did in

costs, which in the past have prevente !
the development OF our merchant
marine"
"We keenly regret that conditions
have arisen which have necessitated
our arranging for the operation Of the
| Resolute and Reliance under q forcie /
flag" said Mr.. Robinson in forma I
statement.
Early last summer we arranged t.
charter the Resolute to Raymond &
| Whltcomb Company for a cruise around
the world and the Reliance for cruise
to the West Indies and South America.
Following the publication of the Attor-
ney Generals opinion as to the appl1-
cation of the Federal prohibition law
! to American ships on the high seas
| more than fifty passages were Cancelled
on the Resolute alone which could be
attributed to this ruling. The can
cellations involved for the most part
the more expensive accomm odations.
Because of the keen competition of
cruises arranged for foreign steamers
we believe that the cruises of the Reso-
Lutte and Reliance cannot be carried out
successfully unless passengers can be
offered the same service and privileges
as arc offered on foreign ships. There
fore, in view of the large sums in.
volved, and in fairness to our stock
holders, we have completed arrange
ments to transfer the ships to for
eien flag. We have selected the Pan
anna flag because we believe 1t to be the
most acceptable to the interests Of the
United States.
"The financial investment in these
ships and the management will re-
main, as in the past, wholly American
Following their cruises the ships will
resume sailings between New York and
Europe, in which they will be operated
by the United American Lines, in joint
service with the Hamburg American
Line, as heretofore.'
The action of the Uo.ted American
Lines in putting its Tessels under
Panama registry is the second instance
! in recent weeks. Some time ago the
Pacific Freighters Corporation pur-
chased seven former German cargo
ships from the Shipping Board with
permission to transfer. In order to
operate them successfully in competi.
tion with foreign ships the company
announced that they would hoist the
| Panama flag and would employ Ger.
man officers and foreign seamen
Panama has practically no restrictions
New-York tribune., 1922-11-10

On shipping and the only charges are
a small registry fee.
The shipping act of 1916 and the
merchant marine act of 1920 forbid
the transfer Of American vessels to
mission of the Shipping Hoard. The
board has adopted the policy of with
holding it's consent except IN the case
OF older ships which are considered
undesirable for the development OF the
merchant marine. The United Aneri-
can Lines comes in different class,
for it reserved the right to make tho
change when its liners were put under
the United States flag last spring.
II is expected that che board will
not refuse conesnt in the future if
Congress defeats the subsidy bill and
it becomes evident tt.as successful
operation of American vessels is i'm
possible. The alternative would he
the tie-up OF. the ships. In this con-
nection il was pointed out yesterday
that Great Britain has similar law,
but that the Board of Trade, which
exercises the functions of the Ship
ping Board there, makes q mere
fornlality of this procedure except in
the case of the great liners which
are necessary to the naval reserve.
While no other American companies
have indicated their intention Of
transferring their ships, some have re
Gently been ordering ships abroad and
have refrainad from constructing new
