 Mir. Gross entities his story "Of Course It's Literature. Didn't They Hear It Nader"

 If there is anything in the theory that the thoughts of men make an indelible impression, even on physical surroundings, you may see 1t there without a doubt. Your imagination might run on something like this:
 Technically perfect % plots con structed, ingenious situations devised, human interest mixed with old ma- terials, and romances concocted for Americas reading millions
 If the walls wanted to speak they could tell of plottings in the dead of night. the gossip of the diamond and the prizering, a speech in the negro dialect of Florian Slappey, Lawyer Evans Chew and a score of other ne- gro characters known to those who read the Saturday Evening Post.

Why Underan
Alien Flag?
A. S. FRANKLIN, of the In
ternational Mercantile Ma

- rine Company, in the New
York American, recently stated
that his company had done its full
share in developing the American
merchant marine in the past and
hoped to do its share in the better
days that seem to be ahead.
There is no agency capable of
doing more for the American mer-
chant marine than the company
which Mr.. Franklin heads. 1t has
soliciting organization established
in all the principal ports and in
terror cities of this country and in
the leading ports and traffic cities
of Europe.
1t has an efficient operating or
ganization ready to provision, man,
run and repair million tons of
American shipping.
These forces of the |. M. NJ. G.. at
present are the joint agency of
group of British lines whose stock
was acquired by J. P. Morgan, but
whose ships remained under the
British flag by Morgan's contract
with the British government. The
outbreak of the war in 1914 showed
whose ships they were - they
stopped serving us and went off to
serve the British Admiralty.
1t is a misfortune that in 1918
President Wilson did not let Frank
lin sell his British ships to British
syndicate. That is the task that con-
fronts the l. M. M. C. now-to dis
pose of its British and acquire
American tonnage. The ship sub
sidy should supply the incentive.
Whatever temporary sacrifice
Mr.. Franklin IS company may ap-
pear to make in this transfer Of
allegiance, it is a sacrifice that
will pay in the end. Unless the
shift is made, the international Mer-
camille Marine Company will con-
tinue to be a man without a coun.
try, a corporation American in
name but British in effect.

Rathenau-Gern,an,
Human

THE assassination of Walter
Rathenau at Berlin by the
hands of monarchist sympa-
thizers brings gloom to all we'll
wishers of the German people and
all sympathizers with the cause
of liberalism.
For Rathenau was one of that
splendid type of humanity which
finds local habitation in given
nation, but is, above all things,
human.
During the war Rathenau rem
dered patriotic service to Germany
by organizing the supply of mate
rial. But he had the honesty and
courage to criticise the national
policies. He was opposed to sub
marine warfare, and he frankly
disapproved Ludendorff's insane
aggressiveness.
Rathenau wrote frankly to
Colonel House in 1919 that in his
opinion Germany had been wrong
both in the war and thereafter.
Though inclined toward social
istic philosophy, DR.. Ratkenau crit
icised severely the materialism of
socialism, as follows: ~,
The movement is stamped with
the curse handed down to it by
its father, who was not prophet,
but a man of learning, one who
placed his trust, not in the human
heart, where all genuine world
happenings well up, but in sci
ence. This puissant and unhappy
man erred so gravely that he
ascribed to science the power of
determining values and estab-
fishing goals. He despised the
forces Of transcendental philos-
ophy, of inspiration and of eter-
nal justice. For this reason So
cialism has never acquired any
constructive force.
1t is not overpraising DR.. Rath-
enau to characterize him as a fine
example of the new statesman, an
intelligent and efficient nationalist,
but one who could see and act as a
citizen of the world.
