The Submarine Disaster.

Deplorable as is the proba BILE loss
of 33 men aboard the submarine S.51
off Block Island. the disaster is no
more an argument against the con
tinued development OF submarines
than was the loss OF the Shenandoah
a reason why aerial navigation should
be abandoned. There will be other
hardy adventurers to take the places
of those who perished heroically in
the line of duty, and navigation will
continue under the water. on the
water and over both land and water.
The American Navy has had a run
Of hard luck OF late, but that is not
sufficient reason for condemning those
in charge Of naval administratio
Certainly 1t Is not just to condemn
them until thorough inquiry has es-
tablished negligence and fixed the re-
sponsibility. That one disaster has
followed so close upon the other is not
of itself evidence OF negligence or cul-
liability. AS matter of fact. in the
matter of submarines the United
States has been more fortunate than
some OF the other great naval powers.
And the British. long held up as an
example of naval efficiency. have >uf-
fered losses in capital ships in times
OF peace that have no parallel in the
American Navy.
As a matter OF course court OF
inquiry will be convened TO determine
responsibility for loss of the S-51. Tn
til it has made it's investigations and
reported its findings the public should
bear in mind the advice Capt. Sigsbee
gave when the Maine was sunk in
Havana Harbor and hold its Judgment
in suspension.

North Carolina.

The request from North Carolina

name fisst is received here with good
temper. The Tar Heel gentleman has
gracious sense of humor, and the
people OF Washington see the joke.
Notwithstanding the serious issue

to the name Washington, most Of the
people of this city went unconcerned
to church or the movies last Sunday.
and many motored unperturbed along
the Frederick. Baltimore, Leesburg
and Gurrattsville pixies.
North Carolina has enough honor
without seeking to filch from us our
good name. 1t has been said that
North Carolina sometimes claims too
much. In the pines Of Appomattox is
q monument built in 1898 and in
scribed: North Carolina, First at
Bethel. Farthest TO the Front at
Gettysburg and Chickamauga, Last
at Appomattox." Virginia, South
Caroline, Georgia and a rev other
States which helped North Carolina
break up the Union took exception to
North Carolina's expressions of
modesty on the Appomattox monu
ment. A South Carolina wag thought
North Carolina should have added the
inscription, First to Secede,' and a
Virripia wit said that North Carolina
should have carved on the monument:

Visit of u. S. Fleet
Pleases Australia
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
We think it may interest YOU to
hear first-hand from Australia that
the recent visit Of the u S. A. fleet
has created a profound impression in
this country.
The behavior of the personnel
ashore has been remarkably fine, and
there is no doubt that a wonderful
feeling of brotherhood has been created
by the general intermingling Of the
sailors and marines with Australian
families in their homes.
We trust that this basis of friendly
intercourse will result in a better gen
eral knowledge of the potentialities OF
Australia, and would remind you that
only 100 years ago the population OF
the U, s. A. was the same as that of
Australia today.

volved in the controversies between
composers and radio broadcasters and
orchestras.
The first case in court involving the
new conditions was that of NJ. Wit
mark & Sons VS.. Bamberger 4 Co. In
New Jersey, 1928. Bamberger Co.
own large department store. and
were broadcasting radio entertain
ments as means of publicity. They
gave the song Mother Machree," and
the penalty WAS $3.50. The court held
that since they were broadcasting to
advertise the store 1t was for proflt.
The next case was in Cincinnati
Jerome II. Remick & Co. music pub
lishers) VS.. American n Auto Accessories
Co. company which makes acces-
sories, also. for radios. They played
Dreamy Melody" and awoke from
their dream to confront a bill of $3.50.
The district judge ruled that the
defendants had not fnfrinEed because
the music was played in a room
whence the public was excluded. and
that the fact that the ether carried
that music some thousands Of miles
outside of their locked room did not
make them Responsible for that broad
casting. This strange decision was re-
versed by the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. and, thereby. the fundamental
principle was ruled that the broad
casting is a part of the act of the
orchestra, il the performance Is linked
up with broadcasting apparatus.
The third case is still pending: it
in either of the others. 1t is Remick
VS.. the General Electric Go. 1t is
charged that the orchestra of the
New Kenmore Hotel, Albany, N. Y,
had permission from the owners of
| Somebody's Wrong" to play the
music, and that the General Electric
Co.. without license from any one,
established microphone in the hotel
and broadcast the music. Since the
| broadcasting company had nothing to
| do with the employing of the orches
ira, the defendant contends that 1t
has not infringed, and that its broad
| casting Of whatever sounds came
from that room was free and inde-
pendent act, with no responsibility to
any holder of copyright. At least
the peculiar title will be sustained
Somebody Is wrong.
When the present copyright law
| was adopted in 1909, there was no
radio ,roadca sting, hence the law
| does not specifically cover it, and
there are no direct presidents in the
courts covering its principles.
The chief contention of the Ameri-
| can Society of Composers. Authors
and Publishers is for their protection
| under the strict terms of the present
| law. wl.lch entities the composer to
2 centss on each phonograph record
sold. Sc:&a contends that the law has
cut dovsn his income seriously, for
| prior to; The passage of this law in
1909. he. received Is per. cent, where
| now he lis limited to 2 cents. George

To the Editor of The Star:

Regarding as most interesting and
important the suggestion. said to have
been made by President Coolidge, to
the effect that instead of making
further efforts to utilize the Potomac
water for bathing purposes we should
consider the practicability OF provid-
ing saltwater bathing places, I desire
to point out that our city Is within 25
miies--in a direct line-of Chess.

saltwater bathing and entirely safe,

for about half a mile or more from
