exit from London would disturb the evo-

real one, Mr. Sloan doesn't know. There
had been no time for letters. He is,
however, hopeful.

Nevertheless, that there Is a mystery

able to obtain no information from the
Government.
Mr.. Joseph King. member of the House
OF Commons for North Somerset. asked
the British Home Secretary. Sir John
Simon, II he could state the exact reasons
why Tod Sloan had been deported To
this Sir John Simon replied:
This man has been deported and before
making the deportation order l satisfied
myself that it was not desirable in the
public interest at the present time that
he should remain in the United Kingdom"
Mr.. King then asked II "as a matter
of fact a criminal charge could not have
been brought against him, and, if 50,
ought he not to have been tried In the
ordinary way"
The Home Secretary then replied: The
reasons for deporting him we're good rea-
sons, and as he is an American citizen
I do not see why we should be compelled
to keep him in this country"

Sloan Did Valuable
Service for the Allies.

A new law has been passed, the De-
Tense of the Realm act which permits
the Government to dispose of a mans life
and liberty without trial, and to do prac-
tically as 1t pleases with any British sub
ject; and, of course foreigner has still
less rights. The Habeas Corpus act and
the Bill of Rights, those ancient bulwarks
of British liberty, have ceased to have
my meaning. Democratic politicians have
complained bitterly that the war has taken
us back to Star Chamber days.
The explanation has been published that
Tod Sloan was expelled because young
British officer who insisted on playing
cards with him lost a small sum OF money,
ana that jealous Englishwoman then
made complaint to the police that the
jockey was keeping a gambling place.
Most English people, however. think that
the Government would not have taken
such vigorous action for such a trining
cause.
At the same time no one believes that
Mr.. Sloan has committed any serious mil
itary offense against the Government. He
was too good a friend of the allies to do
that. At the beginning Of the war he did
valuable service with an smbulance corps

A FavOrite of the
Late King Edward.

Mr. King asked the Home Secretary
III he was not aware that in these cases
where persons OF eminence are deported
1t Is generally assumed that 1t is to shield
some other person behind him.
Sir John informed his questioner that
"in this case, whatever the eminence of
the person, it was not on that ground
that he was deported rather than dealt
with in some other way.
The suggestion that Tod Sloan was
deported in order to shield some higher
person is the only clue to the true rea-
son for Tod Sloans deportation that has
been given.
Who can. be the higher person? Is it
some member of the royal family? Is
it some member OF the Government? Is
it some important officer of the army
or navy?
The arbitrary treatment of Tod Sloan
by the Government seems most surpris.
ing in view of the favor he has long
enjoyed among British royalty and
society.
The late King Edward, whose chief
amusement was on the turf, took great
deal of interest in Tod Sloan. He usu-
ally visited him before he rode a race
and asked his advice about the probable
winner. Most OF the Kings meetings
with the jockey occurred when he was
still Prince of Wales.
Sloan is generally considered to have
been the most successful and highly
paid jockey that ever rode. At one time
he received $4,000 year salary. in ad-
dition to his large winnings from bets
and other sources.
He won five big races in one after
noon at Newmarket, the biggest race
meeting in England. OF course. he won
a fortune for his employer. Some Of
the most distinguished noblemen in
England then hung about Tod Sloan,
waiting for golden word from his lips.
After this period he had many
troubles. His wife, the pretty Ameri-
can actress, Julia Sanderson, obtained
a divorce from him, and other misfor-
tunes followed.
Mr.. Todhunter Sloan, on being inter-
viewed in New York upon his return said !:
This is a great day in England for
people who are Jealous or have grudges.
All that is necessary is to notify the
authorities of your suspicious and then
they can be depended upon to do the
rest. They look on man as guilty until

London, Jan. 2.

hOuuOAJ Jdu. e.
X TOW and then the brief message is
nj handed out by the British Govern
i ment that a man has been shot in
the grim old Tower of London. The name
is never given. No details are given. 1t
is only intimated that the death penalty
has been inflicted on a person convicted
by court-martial of an offense against
the safety Of the realm.
Some weeks ago it was announced that
a well-known American citizen, Tod Sloan,
the Jockey, had been expelled from Eng
land together with the charming French
actress known as La Belle D'Herlys'
She was sent back to her home in France
and the former Jockey was shipped to
America.
4 Everybody In London wondered why
Tod Sloan had been sent away, after his
long career as the most successful jockey
in the world, and his association with
many prominent persons including the
late King. Edward, had made him pop
ular character in London, especially In
theatrical and sporting circles.
What was 1t that was serious enough
TO cause his expulsion ana not serious
enough to lead to his being sent to the
Tower of London?
n There could not have been very serious
charges against him and his companion.
During these war times any offense
against the state is very severely pun
ished. Since Carl Hans Lody, the first
spy executed in the Tower Of London was
tried the Government has been much
more severe and secret in the proceed
ings against spies or offenders of any
kind against the public safety.
And what about the vivacious Mile.
d'Herlys? What did she do? Evidently
Sloan and Mademoiselle were both con-
cerned in the same offense-whatever
1t was. When the British authorities
decided that it was dangerous to the
realm to allow Sloan to remain another
day in England they made the same de-
cision about Mademoiselle; up the gang
plank they both went-one to America,
the other to France. Inquiries as to just
what they had been doing brought only
evasive answers from the British Home
Secretary who ordered their deportation
