This Nine. Lynch was a holy terr.
in Paraguay. There are old ctrze7s
here now who tell stories of how 80
dominated Lopez and persecuted ~
people. Our minister, Mr.. Washlrrr
testified that he was afraid fur his
life. He did not fear public execution
but rather secret poison or assaSsina-
ton, and this because Mrs. Washt3rn
refused to meet Nine. Lynch or t. go
to her entertainments.
Nine. Lynch had one of her rivals
a young lady of Asuncion, lanCed II
death. She had the confidence Of Lo-
PEI, and he would torture or XIII any
person she disliked. One day an Off
Ger spoke to her on the street askine
her to intercede for a prisoner. The
next day he was shot for his presump-
ton. The madame demanded money
of private citizens, and those who re-
fused her were sure OF torture and
| possibly death. She took the Jewell.
belonging to the church and had them
reset for herself. She p~lundered the
government treasury and bled the
country and people in other ways.
She undoubtedly carried d great
deal of money out Of the country, and
at one time admitted that she had
$250,0O0 with her when she left. She
fled from Paraguay to Europe. There
she lost her money. and when she
died in Paris about fifteen years ago
she was a pauper.

illustrate that no drastic measures were
adopted when commissioner was CIV

The Interlocking Rockefeller
He Calls Untram-
meled
"BEATS ANY DONE
BY RAILROADS"
Rockefeller's C h arity Is
Looked Upon as
Menacing

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. l7.--Frank +.
Walsh. chairman of the federal indus
trial relations committee, which has been
investigating great philanthropic foun-
dations, in a statement Monday declared
that John ID. Rockefeller, senior, domi-
mates the Rockefeller foundation, which
Mr.. Walsh said can apply the enor-
nous power Of the money it controls 20
almost any purpose it chooses.
'The testimony at the New York hear
ing" declared Mr.. Walsh, showed that
the trustees of the foundation exercised
no authority that did not come from
him. IT showed that the directors OF
the foundation also were directors OF the
industries from which the foundation
obtained its funds. As an interlock-
ing system, it beats anything the rail
roads and banks ever exhibited.
"The powers it claims and exercises
virtually are unlimited, as are its imam
cial resources. They are powers which
should challenge the attention OF every
thoughtful American citizen. Whether
such powers can be permitted safely IN
the hands Of any authority less than
that OF the government OF the United
States is a question which will form an
important part of the commissions
Forthcoming report. am inclined to be-
lieye these powers cannot be exercised
under the American theory of govern
ment.
"The commission is not through yet
with the Rockefeller and other iounda-
tons. but this much can be said The
Rockefeller foundation Is entirely with
out the realm of government control.
Il am not surprised that the directors
and trustees of the Rockefeller founda
ton do not know some Of the things
brought out at the hearing. They do
not know anything about the foundn-
ton. They do not see Mr.. Rockefeller
twice a year.
"Mr. Rockefeller is a very smart man;
perhaps the smartest in this country.
But he could not tell the commission
why he did not use his profits TO pay
living wage, instead Of using them
in the distribution OF charity that con
stituted power which many Ameri-
cans have come to look upon as men
ace.
"The power Of the foundations mon
ey is being used to compete with the
United States government in the inves-
tigation of the questions being investi-
gated by the industrial relations COM
mission. The United States government
Is spending 100000 in its inquiry. The
Rockefeller foundation, if il will, can
spend S5.000,000 year. It's investiga-
ton is being conducted by the author
OF an industrial act tried in Canada
which was opposed by every labor or
ganization there and which failed sig
nally"

GEN. FRENCH0 ON
WAR in WINTER
Reports on Battles in France
Since Novem-
Der
HE PRAISES
FLYING CORPS
The Re-enforcements Arrive
with Promptitude,
He Says

London, Feb ia thrilling recital
of the periIs of winter fighting which,
by virtue of the strength OF the oppos-
ing positions, was necessarily OF a see
saw nature, was made public yesterday.
1t was the report of General French, the
British commander in chief, and covered
the active operations from early IN NO
vember until the first of the present
month. The text of the report was made
public in accordance with the govern
ment's promise to give more facts about
the actual fighting. /,
At the end of November, General
French says, the British troops were con-
centrated along shorter line IN order
to permit of concentration OF action and
allow the creation of an effective re-
serve. Early in December it was noticed
that the fire of the enemy was slacken-
inc perceptibly. especially his artillery.
"From this we deduced that the Ger
mans had withdrawn considerable OF
their forces" says the report, and we
decided to attempt an attack in force.
"On Dec. IA we launched this assault,
our objective being the wooded section
and hills of Wyteschaete. Our advance
proved impracticable without French
support on our TANKS, so on Dec. II
our plans were modified and we sup
ported the French in another operations.
On Dec. rs we commenced an attack on
the Giyenchy positions and this had been
partially successful by Feb. |.
"Our renforcements are arriving from
England with remarkable promptitude.
The rapidity OF their appearance and
their quality have exceeded our most
sanguine expectations"
The British commander pays a very
high tribute to the British flying corps.
Despite the uniformly bad weather, he
saws. they have done wonderful work in
dropping bombs on the German trenches
and in other useful work. There have
been only l3 days since the war began
that the corps has not been engaged.
Five German machines are known to
have been brought down by them. Gen
eral French also praises the territorial
units and declares that the work OF the
officers training corps has been wonder
full.

SENDS new NOTE
UPON F2. E CASE
UNITED STATES ACCEPTS GER
MAN PROPOSAL.
Berlin Willing to Make Reparation
Under Treaties of 1893
and 1928.

washington, April 2S-A second
note from the United States to Ger
many concerning the sinking of th2
American ship William P. Frye b.
the commerce raider Prinz Elite
Friedrich was dispatched to Berlin to
day. 1t is understood it accepts tie
German proposal to compensate tie
owners of the Frye under the terms c,
the old Prussian-American treaties o.
1899 and 1928, regardless of any prize
court decision.
These. treaties provide that contra
band belonging to the subject of either
party shall not be confscated by the
other in any case, but maycbedetained
or used in only consideration of pay"
ment of the full value.
While willing to agree to payment
for the Frye, it is understood that
the United States stands by the orig
inal protest against the destruction or
the ship. No claim for the cargo was
made, however, because it was sold
en- route to British dealers.
AN effort is said to nave been made
in the latest note to narrow the ap-
,plicatfon of the old treaties so that
no precedent will be created warrant
ing the lodgment under them in fu-
ture Of claims against the American
government under the favored nation
clauses.
