SUBMERGED SCENERY
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 Trending away for 150 miles or more to the northeastward of Nan tucket Shoals there is broad, flat ridge or plateau of land-gently rolling country for the most part, though with one or two marked hills, and no different from other better-known land formations save in the fact that it is covered about 150 feet deep with salt water. It is the Georges bank, a submerged territory which has been known for generations, but which only now is being explored in detail and with modern methods of sounding by the coast and geodetic survey.
 Each of the two last summers las yielded the interesting discovery oI a great submarine gorge or can- yon, cleft into the southern edge of the plateau where it falls steeply away to the ocean floor. Corsair gorge, near the eastern tip, was found in 1880 by the survey ves- sel Oceanographer, MT J. P. Nor gan's old Corsair. The second gorge is as yet unnamed; it was found and mapped last year, and is now described in "The Merchant Marine Bulletin" by Commander Rude of the coast survey. Run ming from north to south, the gorge is about eleven miles long. two and one-half miles wide and at the lower end, where it opens upon the ocean floor, it is nearly 2.000 feet deep. The continental es carpment in which the gash has been cut is here fairly steep. Within some twenty or thirty miles 1t drops away 5000 feet, and the scenery" if only one could see it, should be of fairly spectacular character.
 Naturally, no one will see it un- til geologic change has effected some new upheaval or rearrange- ment; in the meantime, however, | with the sonic depth-finder to take the soundings and with an ingen- ious sound hanging system (devel- oped, incidentally, from wartime efforts to detect hostile subma- rines) to make triangulation rapid and accurate, the mapping of these | invisible territories has become | picture of the sunken country can be reconstructed on charts. It may be asked why, since the land is lost to us, anybody should spend the time and money on making g. picture of it. The answer is simple. Modern high-speed liners cannot
 afford to waste time by old-fash-
 tened navigation methods, Their
 sonic depth finders enable them to
 "see" the bottom over which they
 are travelling just as the surveying vessels "see" it, and with accurate
 maps of the confgurations before
 their course and position. The
 modern navigator, like the airplane pilot, can to certain extent guide
 his ship by the lay of the Hand" l lie is passing over, and he can use I accurate charts of it's peaks and
 valleys even when it's highest point
 is still far below his keel.

MT Mellon's appointment of course will last only to the end Of President Hoover's present session, which is just as well, both in view of MT Mellon's advanced age and because he has shown few of the traits that indicate really great po- tentialities as a diplomat. More over his service will cover the im- mediate future when the whole question of overhauling the debt and reparations settlements will be considered. Since MT Mellon was in office when these settlements were made, his qualifications for this special phase of his new duties are obvious.

Those Foreign Investments

There is an old theory, which may still Turk in the minds of many Americans that every citizen who invests money or starts business in a foreign country has the right to call upon the government to safeguard him and bis property with all the power of the national treasury and man power. This theory was repudlated recently, in clear terms, by our own state department. Yet 1t persists strangely in some minds.
 We should think that over when the war dogs begin to bay, as they may at any time. We are not going to let American investments abroad go by default. But are we going to risk thousands of lives, billions of treas ury and all the demoralization that war brings with it. to protect in China or else where, a few million dollarso Shall inves- tors abroad bear their own risk, like good sports going into gamble with their eyes open, or must all the rest of the nation assume it for them?

in Maryland, back in 1918. He and two helpers, all bearing passes, were shot at from behind by a sentry, one of the helpers being killed and Pearce shot through the body. His claim said he had been totally in- capacitated for work and asked for $15, 600 for the injuries. The claims committee voted him $1500 and when Senator Tydings of Maryland asked for $2500 for Pearce on the floor 1t was contended that there wasn't enough evidence, aG to the extent of disability.

l Washington-The other day the senate was debating some minor bills and no one paid much atten- ton. But the gallery visitors must have been impressed in one way or another to observe this self-alleged worlds greatest deliberative body | deliberating on little human trage- dies of interest to the American people only insofar as a few hun- dred dollars was now and then ap- propriated or made available to an obscure individual.
 | Some of the private bills which had finally landed on the calendar had been on Capitol Hill for sever al sessions. These small proposals often have hard time, even though meritoriOus. The claims commit tees or other committees to which they are reeerre6 closely scrutiniZe every plea citizen brings for re- | inbursement from his government, anxious lest someone get penny | he doesn't deserve. Even with a favorable report, 1t often takes much time and effort to get one actually on the floor and then there are hawkeyed objectors waiting like .Blanton, La Guardia and Staff ford in the house and King in the senate-to demand full explana- tions every time. Under the rules. a single members objection on the days reserved for such bills is enough to kill it for the rest of the session. And some members are fussy.
 But Lemuel Simpson, who is now about 90 years old, finally got rec ognition for his service in Missou- ri's Blackhawk cavalry during the Civil war. He had been wounded and sent home to convalesce. But when he returned to service he found his Blackhawk outfit dis banded and consolidated with an- other group with which he never caught up. He joined an infantry regiment but obtained no discharge and has been barred from receiv- ing a pension. The senate voted that he be considered honorably discharged from the Blackhawk cavalry so that he could be-entitled to what ever veterans privileges may be coming to him.
 Then there was Denton l.. sims, who served in the Philippines more than 30 years ago and was dis honorably discharged after an army courtmartial had found him guilty of "arson." The military af- fairs committee studied the old rec ord of the trial and found that Sims had merely started a small fire somewhere to attract attention to his location and had done no property damage whatever. His comrades had filed many affidavits to vindicate him and Chairman Dave Reed of Pennsylvania said the committee was utterly unable to understand" the verdict. So the senate voted Sims an honorable discharge and made him eligible fol pensions and other benefits.
 It did the same for Harold A Shepardson, of Florida, who had enlisted for two three-year terms in the army and eight days before his second enlistment expired ir 1905 left his company for home after previously asking for a leave of absence. It seemed that some o1 his relatives had died, that the family estate was being dissipated and that Separdson had to hotfoot it home in order to save something from the wreckage. The senate found that he had been a good sol dier and had, after all, spent more than five years in uniform
