EDITORIAL NOTE. - william Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won Heltsendorn,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life OF the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessor Of its innermont
secrets.
The English "who's Who" says of
him, "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and Is considered by the govern
nent (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such Matters" Another authority says,
"Few people have been more closely as-
sociated with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he"
LeQueux probably has more sources
Of secret Information at his command
than nny contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six yenrs the British Gov
ernment has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret Information through
. specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as q voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeltzendOrn became an In
Innate of LeQucux several years prior
to the outbreak Of the war, he has been
living in retirement In France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Le-
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public thessS revelations of the
inner life of she HOhenzOllerns-that
the dcmocracies of the world might
come to know the renl, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two domi-
nant members of the autOcracy they are
now nrrnycd nEainat.

ANTITRUST SUITS
TO Be REARGUED
War Conditions Said TO Have
influenced Supreme Court
in It's Action
CONCERNS HARVESTER,
STEEL, ANTHRACITE

WASHINGTON, May %. -Anti-trust
suits against the United States Steel
Corporation, The International Harvester
Company and three other big corpora
lions were ordered reargued yesterday
by the Supreme Court. AS il will adj
joun for the term on june n, court
officials said it would probably be a
year before decisions were handed down.
The announcement made by Chief Jus
ticc White apparently bears out reports
current recently that opinions Ia the big
antitrust suits would not be given at
least until the country could rcadiust it,
self to war conditions The other cases
10 he rcargucd are suits against the
United Shoe Machinery Company and
the l-chigh Valley and Reading Railroads
and affiliated coal companies, the So
called anthracite trust"
The steel Corporation suit was insti-
tuicd ia 1911 ia New Jersey aud was
dismissed by the District Court four
years later. In it. the government
charges the corporation with controlling
approximately half of the general
iron and steel industry of the country.
Dissolution of the corporation as well
as OF the inner combinations is asked.
The corporation in its brief admitted
controlling about 40 per cent. of the do
mestic and about 90 per cent of the
American export trade, but defended it.
self as a "goodp combination.
The suit against the Harvester Com
pany was filed in the United States
District Court in Minnesota in 1912. It's
dissolution was asked mainly on the
ground Of its extent and inherent power.
This corporation also contondcd that it
is "a good combination. but the lower
court sustained the government and or
dcred dissolution. The case was argued
in the Supreme Court first in April, 1915.
and rcargucd in March, 1917. because of

The suit against the United Shoe Ma
chincry Company was filed in 1917 and

menJ's petition. The suit had no connec-
tion with one hrought in St. Louis by
the government under the Clayton anti
trust act.
The two cases against the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and the Reading Rail-
way charge them with monopolcs in an-
thracite along their lines. Both roads
are accused not only of violation of the
sherman act, but also of violating tho
commodities clause. ln both cases the
government lost on virtually all contcn-
1ions ia the lower courts.
