Der and heard him ask: How is Mutt?"
And when the conversation had been
concluded and ordinary routine had been
restored the great man apologized:
Sorry, but I had to know how that
animal is getting on. He very nearly
died Sunday"
The historian of the incident SYM
pathized. Through his memory moved
a long parade Of the dumb actors, named
and unnamed, who have played their
parts in the endless drama of the world.
He recalled what he had read Of
Bucephalus, the war steed of Alexander
of Macedon-a horse whose price was
twenty thousand dollars and who,
wounded in battle in India in 327 BIC.
and dying soon after, was mourned by
his master as though he had been
dear human companion. Bavieca, too,
the noble stallion upon whose back the
Cid went into successive trays and with
whom at last the hero shared single
grave. More recently, yet not less ia
nous, Traveller and Grace Darling who
belonged to Lee and Old Jack to Grant
mute participants. In the sad struggle
between South and North nearly three
quarters Of a century ago.
Robert Herrick's pig, likewise, enjoyed
brief resurrection as the procession
passed. funny little beast taught by
the poet to drink from tankard. And
with him came the rabbits that made
life bearable to heart-broken William
Cowper-gentle, comrades of crushed
genius In exile. Then the cats who were
the household pets of Robert Southey,
Jeremy Bentham and Connop Thirlwall,
not to mention those immortalized by
Anatole France, Edgar Saltus and w. L.
George. Felines Of vast dignity, those
literary mousers! They carried them
selves with an air commensurate with
their station as intimates of the sanctum
Of letters.
Nor was mad Robespierre's loyal
Bromet forgotten. He had his place with
Lord Byron's bulldog and Arthur
Schopenhauer's poodles. An ancient por-
trait of Martin Luther surrounded by his
"domesticated wolves" flashed into
recollection. Goldsmiths Girls and the
dogs of Landseer appeared and in their
company were King Edwards Caesar
and President Harding's Laddie Boy.
But quaintest of all the sequence Of
pictures, perhaps, was that Of Rosa
Bonheur dragging her pet goat up the
interminable stairs to her studio on
top of Paris.
The vision faded in suppressed
laughter at that comedy. Yet the ghost
Of it fingered, and the bystander, pro.
ceeding to other business, smiled at the
experience. It was basic. he believed,
because it was humane. The bond be-
tween man and his brute dependents
is one Of the fundamental facts of

For a Merchant Marine

Secretary of Commerce Roper spoke
some plain truths and uttered a few
candid warnings before the American
Merchant Marine conference In New
York last week. He told the Nations
assembled shipping authorities that un-
less conflicting interests in the industry
are willing to make concessions in con-
nection with new subsidy legislation they
must face the possibility that the Gov
ernment will take over the merchant
marine, stem and stern, as both owner
and operator.
Mr.. Roper did not indicate that the
administration bankers to invade field
in which private American enterprise,
except for the World War period and
the emergency aftermath. has hitherto
enjoyed exclusive rights, but he strongly
intimated that the state might reluc-
tantly have to take a hand in minister
ing to the United States shipping needs
if the industry itself does not rise to the
occasion on broad-gauge lines.
President Roosevelt has laid down the
general outline which in his opinion
should be followed by Congress in en-
acting legislation to establish new sub
sidy system. He would terminate exist
ing mail contracts and supersede them
with a direct, undisguised form Of sub
sidy which would clearly diferentiate
between construction and operating aids.
Subsidies would take into consideration
the liberal grants paid by many foreign
governments, notably Great Britain. to
their shipping lines.
Secretary Roper stressed the vital i'm
portance Of an adequate merchant ma
rine to Americas national defense pro-
gram. When we have attained treaty
navy strength in 1912 the disparity be-
tween our first and second lines Of de-
fense will be still more strikingly appar-
ent unless we abandon the do-nothing
policy with reference to provision Of
modern naval auxiliaries. Recent official
figures show that in the event of major
campaign the present-day United States
would need 900 merchant ships totaling
approximately 100000 gross tons. At
this time we possess only 488 carriers of
goods and passengers in the foreign
trade, with gross tonnage of about
3,065, 900. Withdrawal of the required
amount of tonnage from the merchant
fleet would paralyze our commerce and
endanger the importation Of some thirty
essential raw materials, without which it
would be virtually impossible to conduct
a protracted war with foreign power.
Uncle Sam stands ready to do his
part in assisting the shipping industry
to develop the merchant marine the
country urgently requires. The facts and
figures Secretary Roper cites should per-
suade our private navigation interests
to grapple with the situation betimes,
not only as matter Of self-preserva-
ton, but from the standpoint Of ma
tional welfare. II is not field in which
a policy Of drift can be indefinitely
tolerated.

There are no pigs to grind.
The cost of bread pace has led
To 1oftier heights inclined,
And just because the farmer said
He had no wheat to grind.

Which few can keep in mind
And still the patient toiler plods
To meet the daily grind.

TWA Presidents Reply
To Plane Crash Finding
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June IA, 1!
N ANCAN
WILLIAM r. HEARST,
SAN SIMEON, Calf.

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
The following release has been made by myself
corning the finding reported by the Department OF Com
merce this morning connection with the recent accident
Of our airplane at Macon, MssOuri
"Transcontnental and Western Air. Inc, officials
amazed at the reported findings of the accident board
of the Bureau of Air Commerce to the of the air
plane accident on May 6, 1885, near Atlanta, Missouri
The evidence the public hearings of the Bureau of
Air Commerce clearly showed that TWA in nowise at
fault in the handling of this flight and that the accident
occurred because Of failure Of equipment company
personnel.
''These facts clearly established before the acct
dent board by the employees of the airline and independently
proven by records kept by the u S. Weather Bureau
ports made by the Bureau of Air Commerce observers at
krksve and Kansas City, by the log of the plane itself
the testimony of many dsnterested witnesses who
testified at Macon and at Kansas City.
These hearings definitely established the fact that the
real of the accident that Pilot Bolton when he
neared the field at Kirksvle attempted to down
through the ceiling reported by Bureau of Air Commerce
observers at Krksvile thousand feet with four
miles visibility and lower scattered clouds at II hundred
feet
'What he actually found was practically zero-zero
condition which in the parlance of air transportation means
total lack of ceiling and visibility.
The plane in question not sent to Kksvle until
the company had eephoned the Bureau of Air Commerce
observer duty at the Krksve field and had the OBJ
confirm his previous report Of good weather
ditions.
"Had weather conditions been reported the pilot of
the plane would have found safe landing at the Kinks
vile field
The accident occurred not because of any failure
the part of the Transcontnenta and Western Air its
employees because of the failure of any Of the
latest and best scientific instruments with which the plane
equipped but solely because the favorable landing
condition reported by the observer at the Kirksve field
did not exist.
"TWA plans to cooperate fully with the senatorial COM
mee of investigation in the hope that the condition
which caused permitted this plane to meet with
accident be entirely corrected in the interest of in
creased safety for air navigation.
Jack FRYE,
"President Transcontinenal and Western Air. Inc"
