1t is apparent that earnest discus
sions, possibly negotiations, prepara-
tions and various efforts are now in
progress in Washington and New
York, all having to do with the sim
pie question of money or credit or
both. There are some visible evil
dences of this peaceful but important
agitation, but no one, excepting those
who have the right TO be informed,
can tell exactly what is in progress.
The visit of Lord Reading, of Eng
land. to the United States and his
apparently intimate association with
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, and presumably with the gov
ernors of the Federal reserve system,
nre sufficient to indicate that financing
possibly greater than any yet under
taken is under consideration. 1t pre-
sumably involves both the United
States and Great Britain. and possibly
our other European allies.
The visit of ]. p. Morgan to WASH
ington, where he went as member Of
the advisory committee of the Federal
reserve system, is another indication
that some very important plans or
methods involving great financing are
under consideration. Mr.. Morgan has
not often visited Washington since he
was named as New York representa-
tive of the advisory committee of the
Federal reserve system. That COM
mittee has ~ mower. but its moral in
fluence is presumably very great, and
all the greater because il is exerted
only occasionally. Its relation to the
Federal reserve committee is some
thing like that of a next friend,

The Won Isel Expose.

Wolf Won Igel folded his tent and
departed these shores with the ILL.,
starred Won Papen and Boy-Ed; there
fore his web of intrigue and terrorism
is almost ancient history now. But
while his work has fallen to the
ground. the spirit which animated it
still lives. 1t is present, indeed. in
every city, town, and hamlet of the
land. Striking evidence of its subter-
ranean activities is frequently at hand.
1t will bear lot of scourging yet
before 1t is cowed into inaetion.
The publication of these Won Igel
Iapers, which the government has per-
mitted at a moment which It appar-
emily deems psychological. is in the
line of succession of the exposures
which opened with the blast at Count
Luxburg. OF Buenos Aires, two weeks
ago. Secretary Lansing has a definite
purpose in mind. 1t is not merely the
scotching OF the persistent Teuton
peace propaganda. That is only half
the story. 1t is the establishment in
the public mind OF the real connection
between Prussianism and various
agencies which now crave the indul-
gence and good will OF the American
public.
For instance. there are the so-callcd
professional Irish-Americans, the
type which is so rabidly anti-British
that it thinks nothing OF becoming
anti-American. 1t is not easy to at
tack sedition of the jeremiah O'Leary
kind without exposing the President to
a new and insidious attack. The Won
Isel papers have served to take the
bottom out Of this attack, II it should
come. They prove clearly that there
is a certain type of Irishman in this
country who is just as much an enemy
of American institutions-if not more
so-than the professional German
agent and incendiary. They are a
warning to all Americans to be on
their guard against them. Further
more, the road is paved to serious
charges against O'Leary and his ilk
should the administration see ft to
press the case.
Clearly. the State Department files
are giving us a postgraduate course
in Prussianism. 1t is proving most en-
tertainlng and instructive.

Speed Up the Troops.

Pershing may be able to drive out
red tape surrounding his force on the
other side of the Atlantic, but he has
no counterpart here to do the same
job in the War Department.
The question Is frequently asked:
How far has war served to clean out
the AIgean stables of red tape and
clrcumlocution in the big gray build
ing on the west side of the White
House?" The answer is difficult. There
has been a certain amount of improve
ment in the military machinery, but
bureaucracy il as firmly seated in
the throne as ever. And the worst
part of it is that the public never
knows the vast majority Of the crimes
OF delay that are committed in the
name of red tape. 1t Is not until
some particularly fragrant case Of Of
fetal ineptitude arrives that the lid
is torn off.
1t is impossible to say how far red
tape, circumlocution, friction and ar
gument over nonessentials, is retard-
ing the sending of troops to France.
The one tangible fact is that they are
not going as fast as they should. In
precaution and conservatism the War
Department is leaning over back
wards. 1t is Tot showing the speed
ing up" quality which is characteristic
Of the American spirit 1t is slow and
stodgy; only in aviation is it making
progress that really reflects credit on
the nation.
1t can be argued. of course, that
there is no need Of rushing troops to
France now, with the campaign of
1911 in its last weeks. But the hold
ing back of troops now means that
much more Of burden on shipping
when the big job comes next spring
and summer. sureis 1t Is incredible

Journalist Who Scooped the World
Is INDICATED After Being Branded
A "Faker" for twenty-five Years

For the first time in history, per-
haps. a newspaper man branded as
"faker" has waited a quarter of
a century for his vindication, and
then had it come to him IN over
flowing measure.
Such an experience, furnishing a
new romance of journalism, has been
that of DR.. Z. ]. Edwards, known
to the readers of The Washington
Herald as Holland" whose finan-
cial editorials and letters have be-
come famous the country over.
Twenty-four years is a long life
for a newspaper story. The ordinary
story is lucky if II lasts twenty-four
hours. And If anything could vividly
illustrate the truth of Bryants
phrase. truth crushed to earth will
rise again." it is the sensatlonar
story of a newspaper scoop" which
has just come to light.
A Washington Correspondent.
Dr.. Edwards was a Washington
correspondent in 1893. and on August
q of that year startled the country,
through the columns of the Phlladel-
phia Press, by an account of a seri-
Gus operation on the then President
Grover Cleveland. He wrote three
columns about the operation, describ-
ing it in great detail.
The next day all official Washing
ton reverberated with denials, with
laundering denunciations of the cor
The Washington herald., 1917-09-24

respondent who had perpetrated the
fake" with a united governmental
effort to kill the story.
The country believed the denials.
The story of the operation on Grov-
er Cleveland was literally wiped Off
the map" It became as apocryphal as
certain books of the Bible. 1t was a
figment OF the imagination, for the
President himself said so.
And thus it rested for twenty-four
years. Holland had faxed the
story. and had been branded as a
"faker."
Yindication.
But on September %. 1917, in the
columns of the Saturday Evening
Post, DR.. w. w. Keen, the noted
.urgeon of Philadelpuie describes in
detail this mysterious operation which
has been a secret page in history
all these years.
And it appears that the real reason
why truth was cTucifed and DR. I'd
wards was stigmatized as a "faker'
was because the political associates of
President Cleveland were in the midst
of a heated conflict with the free
silver men, in that critical ieI!od,
and were afraid that news of the
Presidents condition would heqrIe1
and strengthen their enemies.
The free silver fad was then COM
ing to a climax, the silver clause of
the Sherman act was being threshed

and If there had been any doubt that

have turned the scale.

found a malignant growth and some
diseased bone in President Cleve-
lands mouth. An operation was
found to be essential, and il was
finally determined to take the Pres
ident aboard Commodore z. c. Ben
edict's yacht, where full secrecy
could be gained, and have the opera
tion performed there.
This was done. The entire upper
left jaw was removed from the first
bicuspid tooth to just beyond the
last molar and nearly up to the mid
die line. A small portion OF the
soft palate was removed. Luckily,
the operation was performed with
out any external incisions. and was
without mark. 1t was an entire sue
cess, and the President returned to
his summer home at Gray Gables,
July 5. having been fitted with an
artificial jaw. Two weeks later
there was a second operation. to
make sure that no malignant
growth had been overlooked.
Mr.. Cleveland died fifteen years
after the operation.

Advertising the Loan.

Congress is about to double the sum
appropriated for the first liberty
loan for the expenses of Forthcoming
issues. but Secretary McAdoo, in con-
fiicting statements, still declares for
a policy which fails to recognize the
fundamental principles recommended
to him by distinguished advertising
men, who have bought many millions
of dollars Of commercial space, are
devoted to the mighty war cause,
have nothing to sell to the govern
ment, and are pledged to give of
their time and skill to assist a gov
ernment campaign without thought of
compensation.
But before the American people buy
50, ,OO0. 100000 of government bonds in
october they must understand the
terms of the nvestment-they must
be brought to face the stern RESPONSE
bility and be inspired to act. That
calls for advertising-graphic grip
ping. compelling display advertising,
the accustomed instrument and ordi-
nary means OF communication be-
tween buyers and sellers in this coun-
try.
1t is not known to what extent Mr..
McAdoo will appropriate from an
available 100000 per $1,000 100000 of
bonds for advertising. nor is it known
what media he will employ.
But advertising men have reason to
fear that the October campaign will
not be true to standard method and
that another gruelling task will fall
upon bond statesmen for whom ad-
vertising should properly pave the
way and another vast space donation
be morally demanded from merchants,
bankers. civic and patriotic organiza-
tions. individuals. and newspaper pub
fishers.
This is what 1t will come to. IL Mr..
McAdoo does not find the way out.
or if Congress fails finally to rec
ognize advertising as a commodity to
be purchased as other war supplies
are purchased.
The majority of newspapers will
expect payment for space, whether 1t
comes from the government or from
private sources, not because these
newspapers are one whit less pa
triotic in their impulses than other
institutions or individuals. but be-
cause they are economically unpre-
pared to withstand the expense Of the
operation
There is still time for Congress to
right mistaken action. There is still
time for Mr.. McAdoo to put the Sec
ond liberty loan on a business basis.

Then again the Secretary of the
Treasury has deemed it expedient to
urge the authorities in Great Britain
that they prevent. if they are able to
do it. the calling of loans made by
English investors secured by mort
cages on southern farms and other
real estate. The aggregate of these
loans is estimated somewhat in excess
or 800. 900, 900. and it would invoiva
real hardship If the borrowers, who
are chiefly planters of the South, were
compelled to pay off the mortgages.
The investment in American farm
mortgages has always been a very
satisfactory one with the English in
vestors. At the beginning of tho war
in Europe, it was estimated that Eng
lish investment in real estate loans in
the United States, both city and farm,
was considerably in excess of 500 CO.,
Coo. How much of these loans nave
been called, there are no means II
knowing. Presumably Secretary Nc
Adoo would not have made the ap-
peal to England with intent to per-
suade her to permit her farm loans IN
the South to remain. unless there were
highly important financial and money
propositions under consideration at
this time.
1t may be that the best evidence
that justifies the belief that perhaps
the greatest of the financial problems
or questions which have been raised
since the war began, is now under
consideration, is to be found in the
action of the bankers of New York.

will fail to have an army worthy of
the name of the United States in the
field by next July. But If an army Of
the proper size and strength is to be
put in the field for the 1918 campaign,
a revolution in the methods of the
War Department must be brought
about somehow.
