when the general public unaware of condi-
tions. He submitted the data to Charles Edward
Russell. the magazine writer.
Colonel Amory and Mr.. Russell collaborated on
the article, and Colonel Amory said he sold 1t for
a large price TO "a well known magazine Last
fall the proofs were TO him. and after he had
20 KID them and sent them back he waited TO
the article print February friend

azine there had appeared announcement that
the article would appear in the January number

announcement had been by representatives
