C, Feb. 9 — Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., assistant secretary of the navy, speaking at the annual convention of the National Merchant Marine Association, stated that \The ship- ping bill is drawn to equalize the cost of maintaining those Ameri- can standards afloat, with the low- er standards existing in foreign merchant shipping. It is for this reason.we must have the shipping bill passed, for ^uf: civilization, are at s.take7' The great Roman Empire,\ said because of its roads.

The merchant marine of a nation is allied' so closely to its navy that each is helpless without the other. Without merchant ships and merchant sailors upon which draw in case of trouble, the prime function of a navy ceases to exist. \Here in America our govern- ment rests on the,individual.

I have no. connection with the Berlin govern- ment, and consequently am not able to judge if the persistent re- ports of a Russo-German accord are true. I only know that such a combination would be a great mis- fortune for Europe. \The present political and mili- tary situatio'n in Europe leads me to fear that an armed conflict would furnish the Russians with ah opportunity to intervene, no mat- ter where it broke out, which would amount to an invasion of Europe by Bolshevist hordes. \Tie French advance into Ger- many was guided by two motives, one political and tho other indus- trial. The political consists in 1 tills—France, with'a population of 30,000,000 cannot dominate 60,000- 000 Germans; it is then to her in- terest to seize the German mines and industries, in order to benefit her own industries. \When France is in possession of German coal \ w Victims of EUGENE V.

Rouse Is, However, Picture cf Robust Health BATH, Me. Feb. 9.—Convinced that lie has only 11 more days to live, a venerable physician played with his aged dog in his bare lodg-_ ings here today, smiling at the big' calendar upion his wall and joking as he -watched the old mantle clock ticking off the hours that separate him from the grave. Unafraid, he indicates the date, Feb. 20, and tells his friends it probably will find him gone to his \long sleept,\ just as his mother and his \grandfather went before him, on the 43rd day prior to the 78th anniversaries of their births. He is Dr. William J. Rouse, clear- eyed, vigorous, the picture of ro- bust health. His spirits and jests are honest. His spirits are un- .dampened. But Fate has marked his earthly end for two weeks from today, he feels sure. \A man never thinks of death un- til his mother dies,\ the old man said today, • his blue eyes undim- med, his voice clear and strong. \I didn't give much thought to death until my mother passed be- yond. Then I studied the heredity of my family and hers, and found, I think, the hour when my long sleep will begin. \My mother went 43 days before her 78th birthday. Her father died 43 days before his 78th birthday. She resembled him in face \and sta- ture. Her nature was like his. Her health was like his. And she died from the same ailment that carried him off, at the' same age to an hour. \\I sCnd my m.other; as she was like grandpa. In virtually all ways I resemble. her. Tho study of the heritage of our family in health, habits and length of lift points to, for me, the inevitable conclusion. Feb. 20 -will see me leave this mor- tal coil for' my long, long sle,ep.\ The venerable doctor speaks earnestly for he believes h^ knows.* He looks calmly at the calendar, as it boldly proclaims the. approach of the twentieth.. He gazes at the old clock, \which his deafness will not let him hear, and as the hands moye on arid on and on, checking minute after minute, hour after houi^, or precious time away, he smiles undaunted. The ; doctor's apparently unfail- ing good health does not militate against Ms . conviction, for he points 'out that his mother and grandfather were, as far as any- body knew at the time, in good health until within a few days of i I heir fiial illness.
