MARY McGOORTY FOUND, BUT THE MYSTERY
MARCHES ON-WHO THE DEUCE FOUND HER?

1. Mary is found.
2. Newspaper publicity helped to
uncover her.
3. She is safe and has never been
in danger.
4. There is no scandal in the case.
5. She left to be an actress.

Z. Mary is glad to get home.
8. Her papa, Judge MCGOOrty, is
happy to get her back. Her mamma

MARCHES ON-WHO TT
Now comes the real mystery in the
McGoorty case! Mary's home and
the head-strong 16-year-old girl
moves out of the spotlight of public
attention and comment. But the
mystery marches on and on.
Who found Mary?
Well, if you believe all you read in
the Chicago Tribune, that paper put
the stunt over. This morning the
Tribune said:
THE girl, for whom many thou
sands Of persons had watched and
searched in the last few days, was
discovered when the extensive pub
liCity given in the Tribune, together
with descriptions telegraphed to a
score of cities and also photographs
mailed by the Tribune to police
chiefs, had its results"
But if you figure that the Herald
is the only truthful paper in the
morning field, you will have no
doubts as to just who did uncover
Mary in her Grand Rapids, Mich,
hiding place. The Herald declares
this morning that:
"Mary's whereabouts became
known through her photograph pub
Iished in the Sunday Herald, and
Judge and Mrs. McGoorty were in
formed first of the welcome tidings
by a representative of the Herald"
But here's where we get balled up.
The Examiner, which admits it is the
only peoples paper in this city of
Chicago and boasts Of it's truthful
ness, took occasion to pin a rose on
the Examiner today like this:
identification was brought about
through a picture published in the
Examiner Sunday morning. Edward
Moore, son Of Atty John E. Moore,
president of the Grand Rapids bar as

GERMANS HAVE SUNK TO LOWEST DEPTHS IN

decency among nations which have in the Of
Centuries led 70 the abandonment Of prmatyo practices
such as the enslavement Of conquered nations. the
slaughter Of and children, the bombardment
Of unprotected cities and coasts and the sinking

One reason that tho United states is at war with
Germany is that Germany has not observed these
written rules OF tho game" Germany has violated
practically all OF them The last to be violated is that

report has just been TO State Department by
the Belgian minister Mr. de Cartier, who gives the
history of each step the German activities which lea
finally to the deportation Of thousands Of BegIans
The conclusion OF this document sums the matter I'd
follows:
Before their departure they are formally called
upon to choose between a socalled voluntary engage
ment for work in Germany, with seemingly high wages
and the other hand deportation, with wage which
is a mockery go pfennige a day.. Whether they sign
the contract not, it forced separation from
their families. The immense majority refuse to sign
and oven refuse to work They then subjected to
horrible treatment regulated ceyerly and applied with
the refinement calculated cruelty which il had been

Reports that would make any civilized man tremble

Belgian Government showing the unspeakable suffering
inflicted thousands OF innocent people in the camps
where tho German Government has caused them to be
huddled together order that this herd OF ptiable
human cattle may be sorted out and enslaved for the
ends OF despotsm.
"rho suffering is perhaps still among those
unfortunates who sent to points behind the Ger

Compelled, in spite OF themselves TO undertake

HELr FROM THE aHIGHRROMs..

tho good old days gone by it has been the custom
II not the privilege, OF the so-called lowbrows to
poke fun at the so-calied hghbrows Frequently not
only good natured fun produced at the expense Of
the highbrovs but good solid brickbas hurled as
well
War; however, is showing that the highbrows can
help great deal in ways that are valuable
Take the OF Montclair, N j. for example Mont
clair is highbrow town
The women OF Montciar probably are as we'll organ
lied for war work any in tho country Practically
the whole town is footing These women are
doing real work-not merely playing in nifty khaki
uniform.
They have placed large number Of beds in a local
hospital ready for whatever injured may have need for
them They have schooed themselves practically in
home economy. They have got after the war garden
problem IN sensible way. They have furnished an
unusual quantity OF material for the Red Cross and all
manner OF knitted comforts for soldiers and sailors
When troops were occupying tho town the womeu's
organization furnished clerical help automobile service
for officers portable pewriters field use and other
conyeniences Of that kind,
They proyded~sQod for large contingent of troops
for more than two days-a the food the soldiers had
during that time
These Montolair women have done real work They
have had tho time and the money They have been able
to do things
The thing worth praislng about these women is not
That they have occupied their time but that they have
had the unusual good sense to do something sensible
and worth while with their time They might have
been content TO don natty suits and look pleasant
In fact there is not American city or town in
which the so-caed hlghbrows are not doing effective
war work. In many communities they arc the back
bone OF all such work and deserve credit for every
thing they do.

was one OF the charges.
Kerensky went to Tsarkoe Selo TO
look into the matter. He found that,
according to a long established Gus
tom at the palace. the guards we're
being given a bottle Of wine every
day He laid the matter before the
troops guarding the palace.
Yes" they replied. I'VE receive a
bottle Of wine every day from the
czar's cellars. We are only following
an ancient custom-hut IL we are

Wherefore. IN solemn assembly.

therefore somewhat lingering custom

this voting translated into laws.
The voting is not vague and un-
systematic. spontaneously a system
has grown up ont Of the old organi-
atiOns, whereby national organiza-
tions of all sorts are developing.

elects a delegate TO convention in
still larger center and finally dele
gates are chosen TO represent q still
larger district in the main organiza-
ton which is being formed here at
the capital. There is bewildering
number Of such organizations. with an
uncountable number of repetitions.
A man, for instance, may be a mem
Der OF a soldiers organization: he
may also belong to an organization
OF his craft and, in addition he NAV
vote in an organization Of Ukra-
mans, or Let's. or Poles. There Is no
limit to the number OF places in which
ne may express his opinion and have
his votes counted.
How the new government. ont ~

there Is in Russia now-will be able
