with results which are described as
not wholly pleasing to the German
people. Announcement was made five
days ago that General Won Falken-
hayn would remain at the head of the
general staff but that Cont Won
Moltke might be given another mis-
sion.
The plan of campaign of Count
Won Moltke, as originally outlined,
was to advance on Paris as rapidly as
possible, and this led to the swift
movement toward the French capital
by General Won Kluck and General
Won Hansen in August and Se2tem-
Der, which was ended by the forced
retreat to the positions now occupied
by the Germans in France. 1t is stat
ed that friction between Emperor
William and Count Won Moltke first
occurred at this time, the Emperor
taking the ground that the move
tactically was futile. ...

was Won Moltke's desire, according
to these reports, to keep the foes on

OF THE WHOLE
MATTER

In concluding Its report on the ca
nal tolls measure the majority de-
clares:
Ear better to abolish the canal
than ever to permit our national hon.
or to remain in question"
The minority, in its report, says
that the majority statement should be
para graphed to read as follows:
Far better ~ abolish the can Il it
self than to surrender it's control to,
a foreign power"
Then the minority goes on to say:
Such a course would be a national
dishonor. To acquiesce now in the
government, speaking through for
mer secretary of state. has upheld the
American position, would be nothing
less than an act of cowardice.
Heretofore our canal policy has
been vigorous American policy. An
examination of the messages of for
mer presidents upon this subject, ex-
tracts from which are appended to
this report, clearly show that never
before in our history have we toler-
ated foreign interference in this great
American project.
at is one of the greatest achieve
ments of this country, and no other
nation has aided. Great Britain, up
on whom the burden of proof rests,
has not made out case. 1t is pre-
sumptuous for any nation to demand
all the benefits of a partnership and
be unwilling to assume single bur-
den. We have reached crisis in our
history"

THE -FOUR GINtlEN'' PAY
PENALTY FOR THEIR CRIME

Motions for a new trial, on the
ground of new evidence, made by
their attorney, were denied, and they
were sentenced to die during the
week beginning April 13.
Four days before their execution a
delegation of New York rabtis visit
ed Governor Glynn and pleaded in
vain with him to postpone the execu-
ton until after the second trial of
Becker. The governor remained fix
ed in the opinion that he had already
expressed-that Becker's guilt or in
nocence could in no way affect the
guilt of the gunner, who had been
judged guilty by two courts.
The real names of the men who
have been known as "Gyp, the Blood"
Lefty Louis" "Dago Frank" and
Whitley Lewis" were Harry Haro-
WITT, Louis Rosenberg, Frank Cirofici
and Frank Seidenshue. The young
est, Lefty Louis" was 81; the old
est, "Dago Frank" was 81. All were
Jews, except "Dago Frank" and as
the nickname applies, he was an
Italian. "Gyp, the Blood" and Lefty
Louie" were married. Their young
widows survive them.
Not only during the trial, but in
statements given out at Sing Sing,
three of the gunner persisted in the
declaration that ''Dago Frank" had
not been present at the time of the
murder, and was not in any way con-
cerned in the plot to murder Rosen-
thai. During their stay in the death
house, all four maintained an atti-
tude of martyr-like innocence, tenn
pered with an optimism growing out
of their belief that their fate hinged
upon Becker's, and if he were not
guilty, they must be set free. The
news crushing the hopes of this ma
ture, as announced by the warden,
was announced with stoical calmness.
The crime for which the four gun
men paid the death penalty started a
wave of police reform, from which
the ripples have not yet subsidized.
Throughout the regulations made at
the time and subsequently, stalked
the vague, sinister monster known as
