Mrs. Carol King, New York attor-

seeking dismissal of the charges,
and in trying to get into the record
finding of Dean James K. Lands of

Lands held the evidence did not
show convincingly that Mr. Bridges
was member of the Communist
party at the time the warrant was
issued.
This time the proceeding is brought
under the 1910 Alien Registration
Act, which provides that an alien

affiliated with a subversive organiza-
tion. Mrs. King challenges consti-

ROUGH RIDER MYTH

Probably SO persons out of 100 who
have read or heard of the famous Roosevelt
Rough Riders of the Spanish-American War
believe that those ambitious troopers
charged up San Juan Hill on horseback,
booted and spurred, sabers waving in the
air.
A writer in recent magazine graphic
ally portrayed their exploit as that of 800
men on horseback standing in their stirrups
and galloping along, shouting to one
another like polo players"
The truth is that the Rough Riders
marched and fought on foot in Cuba, as did
other cavalry regiments, their horses hav-
ing been left behind when they sailed from
the United States.
Due to Theodore Roosevelts vivid per-
sonality and the large amount of publicity
given the regiment by New York news
paper men, the Rough Riders received the
lions share of credit for the victory at San
tiago, a share far greater than was their
just due.
81 3ss That they were brave men and good
fighters none will deny, but they were in
that respect no different from other troops,
some of whom received scant attention in
the dispatches. The Rough Riders did no
riding, rough or otherwise, in Cuba.

HISTORY STILL REPEATS

The pile Of aluminium on the court
house lawn, and the similar collections
picked up all over the nation last week, APP
parently would not be among the modern
ideas which would be startling to America s
founding fathers.
Although they weren't interested in
aluminium and hadanot. progressed to the
point Of aerial warfare, tFfeAfounding fa-
TIERS according to a copy Of the Massa-
chusetts Sun published in Worcester on
July II, 1776, did 60 in for voluntary col
lections of war stocks.
An item in the paper tells of the pass
age of a resolution by the house OF repre-
sentatives at Waterfowl, requesting peo-
pie of the colony to donate their leaden
window weights for melting into bull
lets.
Another sanguinary little item reads
like this:
ION Wednesday last the Declaration
of Independence was read at the mead OF
each brigade of the Continental Army at or
near New York, and everywhere received
with loud huzzas and utmost demonstra-
tions Of joy The same evening the eques-
TRAN statue of George III was by the sons OF
freedom laid PROSTATE in the dust. The lead
wherewith this monument was made will
BE run into bullets to assimilate with the
brains Of our adversaries, who to gain
perppercorn, have lost an empire"
The publishers polite reminder of UNI
paid bills is worded little differently than
We do it now, but the idea is there:
"He 1.-THE publisher) begs that such as
have not paid him would be SO considerate
as to think of the great disadvantage it
must be to him to have so many small sums
in different hands, therefore would now re-
quest that they pay their respective bal
ances, which will greatly oblige their hum
BILE servant, Isaiah Thomas"
After l65 years, publishers are still
at it.

NEW DEVICE TO BEAT U-BOATS

Some hope springs from the recent
statement of Charles F. Kettering fore
casting a new device to master the sub
marine.
Mr.. Kettering is not an idle dreamer.
What he says, can hardly be dismissed as
trivial conversation, designed to catch the
headlines There must be something be-
hind his prediction that U-boats will be de-
tected, even at night on the high seas.
Naturally, it would be asking too much
to expect the great industrial scientist to tell
us the whole secret about the work that has
been going on, in cooperation with the
Navy for the past six years. as.a
A device to apprehend submarines
upon the surface of the ocean at night
would do much toward meeting the peril of
the U-boat. 1t might be based upon the de-
lection of sound, the location of engines
with delicate apparatus to measure heat, or
some radio invention that marks mar
vels.
1t is idle to speculate but the develop
ment of such detector would mean much
in the Battle of the Atlantic. Let's hope
that before long the sinkings at sea will be
reduced and furnish us with visible EVIL
dence that new anti-submarine methods are
in practice
