tialns Ne. 101, Ne. IG4 nnd Ne. 100
were subject.
He then read the order which had
halted train Ne. 101 at liryn Athyn,

whether they exercised tfie caution that

the gully where the trains crashed,
describing it as thirty feet deep nnd
1100 feet long.

Centlnnrd from raxe'One
advecating1 a soldiers' bonus nnd who
nre likely te' be disappointed will quar
rel with liny suggestion that the Gov
ernment make payments te shipping.
Hut the Administration has no choice
but te brina In Its plan for getting the
merchant marine going nt this time.
The Republicans were bitterly critical
of the Democratic operation of the C5ov C5ev
ernment ships. They nle pledged them
selves te get out of the shipping busi
ness as seen ns'pesslblc. They will en
ter n congressional campaign next fall
and must make some show of carrying
out their pledges.
Shipping has been one of many Im
possible situations which the Harding
Administration has fuced. If world con
ditions in that Industry were bad after
the wnr in the last two years of the
Wilsen Administration, they hnve grown
much worse since. All nations have n
large proportion of their ships lying
Idle. Prices of 'vessels arc lower tlinn
in many years. There is no market for
ships. The United States Government
could hardly give its vessels nway if It
would.
Under these circumstances It has been
impossible, for Mr. Harding's Shipping
.Heard te accomplish much toward get
ting the Gevcrnmcnt-built nnd qwncd
ships Into-ifrlvate hands or te cut down
the losses en vessels in their charge,
variously ;estlmntcd up te 1,000,000 a
dav.
Only by making the operation of
American ships attractive te private
capital can the Government be get out
of the shipping business. The subsidy
plan is nn attempt te induce private en

"I guess, Docter, I will have te introduce you te Ferrnamint
a real geed threat antiseptic with which you will keep the soft tis

Ferrnamint pleasant and convenient enough te use frequently. I
find that the average patient will readily dissolve Ferrnamint n his

te use gargles or spray3 consistently, even two or three times a day,
especially children.
"Ferrnamint tablets certainly'rclieve sere threats and are head

their prophylactic power, and se I am advising my patients te use
them freely during the threat and influenza season te prevent infection."

bjr exclusive mall contracts, by n share In
the Imraliratlen traffic and through pre
ferential rates en American railroads
nnd receiving In addition n direct pay
ment from the Government, Such n
preposition may, it is believed, tempt
American capital. Only in this way
will the Government be able te gel rid
of its Bhlps and end Its, losses "upon
them, unless It wails until n boom in

t Others May Retaliate
Seme of the favors granted le Ameri
can ships tinder this plan, it it gees
through, will start discriminatory prac
tices by ether Governments whose nn nn
tlens own much shipping. An ocean
rate war Is one of the possibilities. Itiit
the subsidy plnn docs net InvltC as much
ill feeling ns did the Jenes bill-with the
many discriminations In favor of
American vessels which it provided for.
The bill when it is Introduced will
start a vat controversy. Everybody
else who wants a subsidy, the farmers
and soldiers for example, will fall afoul
of this proposed subsidy. Representa
tives in Oengrcss of const States which
have shipping Interests will'' favor the
Harding plan. Hut the interior of the
oeuntry hns alwnys been cold te the
iden of subsidies for shipping.
It will be argued that the Govern
ment is proposing te soil its slilp.s In
the worst possible market nnd arrang
ing a bonus en the basis of n depres
sion in the shipping industry. Op
ponents of the bill will show enormous
profits te ship owners buying 'new and
receiving this Government nld ns seen
ns the lean years are passed. And the
legislative jam makes any debatcnblc
proposal doubtful.
