They crashed into the side Of q noun
tain in Alaska and 1t was eleven days
before they could win their tortuous
way back to civilization, where the
news Of their safety was flashed to the
world.
In 1919 Harry G. Hawker aud his
navigator. Lieut.. Comdr. Mckenzie
Grieve, started out from Newfoundland
to fly the Atlantic. AS soon as they
were in the air Hawker dropped hi,
landing gear to tighten the plane. This
act probably proved their salvation,
although they did not realize 1t at the
time. For six days they were missing
and had been given up for lost by every
one but Mrs. Hawker. On the seventh
day the little Danish steamer Mary,
be,l14 from New Orleans to Denmark,
signaled by means Of flags to shore
at the Butt of Lewis that the airmen
we're safe and sound aboard. The
British admiralty Immediately sent out
destroyer to overtake the ship and
Hawker and Grieve were returned to
shore to receive a tumultuous well
come.
So 1t may be that some such expert
ence has befallen Moyle and Allen. The
whole world hopes so, as men of their
type are the ones who are pioneers in
the interest of aviation.

The Lost Airmen.

Although all hope has not yet been
abandoned, it looks very much as if the
daring transpacific flyers, Don Moyle
and c. A. Allen, have gone the way of
other aviators who have failed on am
bilious overwater flights. They left
Japan on Tuesday on their long pro-
jected trip to the United States. 1t
was to be a nonstop flight of forty
four hundred miles over ocean and
land. Their plane was heavily loaded
and, according to some observers, was
not m the best of condition. They had
permitted themselves only four hours
leeway with their gasoline supply, esti-
mating that forty-four hours would be
sufficient for the flight. They carried
no radio. Nothing has been heard from
them since the take-off, although ships
have reported hearing a plane in the
fog at various points.
Despite the lapse Of time since their
departure, It is still possible that they
may have landed ON some desolate
stretch where no communication to the
outside world was at hand, or been
picked up by a ship which carried no
radio. There have been several notable
escapes from almost certain death by
flyers who have been forced down on
land or sea. Conspicuous among them
was that of Maj. Frederick L. Martin
and Sergt. Alva T. Harvey, two Of the
Army round the world flyers in 1924.

1t is, of course, wholly beyond all
practical possibilities that Gandhi
should attain any considerable portion
of his independence demands. "Modi-

Gandhi in London.

Great Britain's politico- financial
ricissitudeS, with which the new ma
tional government and Parliament are
about to grapple, are not going to mo-
nopolize the front pages from now on,
for Gandhi Is about to descend upon
London town. He Is due to arrive
today for next months epoch-mak-
ing round table on India. Every
advance indication points to the Ger
tainty that the spotlight will be turned
upon his frail figure, and kept there,
from the moment OF his arrival until
the end of the conference. The
Mahatma, from now till further notice,
is the man of the hour in John Bulls
island.
Gandhi, in the course of laconic
statements during his journey from the
East has registered consistent pessimism
as to the outcome of the round table,
so far as the probability of results
satisfactory to Indian nationalism are
concerned. At the same time, the
Mahatma reflects a determination to
fight for his ideals with all the resources
at his command. At Alden, ten days
ago, Gandhi outlined the utopian pro-
gram which he intends espousing in
London. Addressing a fervid gathering
of his adherents, he said:
I shall strive for q constitution that
will release India from all thralldom
and patronage. I shall work for an
India in which the poorest shall feel 1t
is their country, In whose making they
have an effective 'cice, an india In
srs.s.: siiere shall be no high class and
60 low class Of people: an India in
which all communities shall live in per-
feet harmony.
There can be no place in such an
India for the curse of untouchability or
the curse of intoxicating drinks or
drugs. Women will enjoy the same
rights as men. Since we shall be at
peace with all the rest of the world,
neither exploiting nor being exploited,

Nearly a half million persons visited
Mount Vernon during the year ended
April 80 last, according to the annual
report of the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association. V
This shows continued interest on
the part of the people in this great
shrine. Not only did this imposing
roster Of visitors include Americans
from every State. but practically every
Nation in the world was represented.
Under the efficient management OF
the association. an unique organization
the upkeep of Mount Vernon rests In
capable hands.
Not only have the mansion and
grounds been maintained in wonderful
condition, as BELTS them, but an i'm
preSsive addition has been made dur
ing the year to the collection of Wash

which the estate holds.
Nor Is this all. During the year a
tract OF 1877 acres. adjoining the Mount
Vernon estate. was bequeathed to the
association, this land being bisected by
the memorial boulevard leading to the
gate of the estate.
In every way this shrine, SO dear to
the heart Of the American people, i.
being maintained and improved, anc

Attorney Persuades
Client to Plead Guilty

From the Worcester Daily telegram.
The newspaper men in the Brooklyn
court room, employing an unwonted
economy of language, referred to the
affair, in their stories, as novel. The
judge, listening to what the lawyer for
the defense was saying, was surprised
and admitted 1t. Well he might be sur
prised, for the lawyer for the defense
was saying that, though his client, ac-
cused of participating in hold-up, was
practically certain of acQuittal inaSmuch
as there was little If any evidence OF
his guilt, he was nevertheless pleading
guilty. The prisoner, a youth OF IL,
and his mother appeared to be In COM
plete accord with the lawyers stand.
A few days ago Federal judge from
Kansas, Richard j. Hopkins, visiting in
New York and presiding at the trial OF
the notorious Jack Legs" Diamond. ex-
patiated on the duty of q lawyer to
plead client guilty when sure OF the
clients guilt. His views aroused q great
deal of comment. There was time,
if the biographies of long-dead notable
lawyers are to be believed, when lawyers
did that, some lawyers at any rate. We
have all read of attorneys whose very
appearance for the defense was a pretty
good indication to both judge and jury
that the defendant was innocent. II
there are such lawyers today, they re-
main too modestly in the background
The Brooklyn lawyer. explaining his
clients plea of guilty, had this to say
among several things: "A sense OF duty
prompts me to enter plea OF guilty.
as I am satisfied that he is guilty and
that punishment of him would be for
the best interests of society and hfm-
self. An acquittal in this case might
bring him to believe he could evade the
law and would be an encouragement
to him for living a life of crime"
The wisdom of those two sentences is
incontrovertible. They are the words
of social-minded thinker whose rather
homely name-Jacob Brenner-deServes
all honor. His plea should be heard
round the world of American law.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

We had the pleasure of waving out
of town on Labor day the fine repre-
sentation of the Arcadia Fire Company
which attended the firemen's parade.
We got quite kick out of waving
our hand at the tanned boys on the
wagon, and receiving in turn their
waves of farewell, as they went over
the District line at sunset.
1t was a great day, great parade,
and the boys from Arcadia as fine as
any. We had never heard Of Arcadia,
but 1t must be out in Maryland some
place.
Wen, that town has as shiny and
red r. piece of apparatus as any city
in the land affords, and those boys,
varying in age from 20 to 60, or there
abouts, are as capable looking a crew
as one would want to see.
There are few human beings who do
not have a warm spot In their hearts

The young lady In question happened

It happened, however. that the daily

The World Court Drive.

Opponents of the entry of the United
States into the World Court as MEM
her nation will find little to encourage
them in their promised resistance. The
World Court is more and more recog-
nized as the only international tribunal
that has been set up which can ef1ec-
lively substitute peaceful measures OF
settling international disputes for war.
And more and more, as the realization
grows in this country that the busl-
ness depression and serious economic
situation now gripping the world are
the direct outgrowth of the World war,
the opposition to the adherence OF tne
United States to the World Court mas
been weakened. Two great organiza-
lions. one of American farmers and
the other of American labor, have come
out directly in support of American
entry into the court under the terms
of the so-called Root formula. designed
TO safeguard the interests Of the United
States, in place of the Senate reserVa-
tions attached TO ratification OF the
protocol of adherence about four years
ago.
The Senate of the United States,
pnless President Hoover should abandon
plans for placing the matter squarey
before the Senate and demanding action,
will have the World Court issue up TOT
consideration at the coming session
Opponents of the court in the Senate
and out have hoped that because adher-
ence was advocated by the Hoover ad-
,ninistration they would be able to rally
the anti-administrationi against the
proposal But this hope Is idle. In the
first place. most of the Democrats IN
the Senate have been strong supporters
of American entry into the court. Sem
ator Swanson of Virginia, ranking
Democratic member OF the Foreign Re-
lstions Committee and author Of the
Senate reservations adopted when the
protocol Of adherence was first before
that body, has given the opinion that
the Root formula is satisfactory and
many of his Democratic colleagues have
followed suit.
The old irreconcilables OF the Senate
who fought the entry of this country
into the League of Nations and then
the entry into the World Court have
dwindled in number With the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Ma
tional Grange now aligning themselves
in support of the entry of the United
States into the World Court, under the
Root formula as a substitute for tie
Senate reservations, the ranks Of the
opposition in the Senate may be found
dwindling still further. The Senate Is
not without its sensitiveness to the pop
ular demand especially in year when
senatorial and national elections are
under way.
The Root formula, so called, devised
by Elihu Root in the revision of the
to make it possible for the United
States to be fully safeguarded in the
matter OF advisory opinions" granted
by the court when American interests
are involved It is a substitute for the
Senate reservation dealing with adj
Visory opinions, which became the STUN
bling block to final entrance Of this
country into the court as q member
nation. since the other nations were
not willing to subscribe to the reser-
walton.
