while they imagine they are cra1tlly
avoiding all pitfalls. The latest vic
tim of the furor Teutonicus is Ed
uard A. Rumely, who has been arrest
ed under circumstances which brand
him as disloyal. That brand was
scared into the soul of Benedict Ar
mold, many times more able and bril-
liant than DR.. Rumley, and, in his old
age, after he had been made a general
in the British army, but had been ex-
cluded from association mith all hon.
orable Englishman, he would have
died, we are told, to wipe out the stain.
DR.. Rnmely obtained possession of
the New York Evening Mail with tse
lcaiser's gold. Suspicion was aroused
at the time, but the Teutonic madness
had so blinded DR.. Rumfey that he
could not be diverted from his course
He accepted the German gold and
closed the deal. all the time denying
that there was any German influence
over the journal. and fiamboyantly
protesting a patriotism he was rar
from feeling.
In France they call that kind of thing
''BoIoism." 1t has cost the life of Bolo
Pasha, who was condemned as trait
or and shot. There is a difference in
the circumstances, which should be
noted. but not much of a difference in
the spirit. Bolo Pasha's country was
at war when accepted money from
Count Won Bernstorff for the purchase
of newspapers in Paris. The United
states was not at war when DR.. Rum
lev. with money received from Won
Bernstorff, acquired the New York
Mail.
At that time, however, we mere en-
broiled with Germany and were soon
TO engage in active warfare against a
mower which for several years has
been numbering our people and pihng
upon our flag. In such
state of affairs DIR. Rumley still re-
manned an ardent sympathizer with
kaiserism, the zest for which ne eFt-

did not abandon him when the kais-
er's gold was dangled before his eyes,
Not that DR.. Rumley was poor man

had that excuse he might, perhaps, ap-
near in a slightly better light today.
He was. on the contrary, generally
reunited to be rich, and he tried to con-
vev the impression that he was buy
ing the paper with his own money In
the interest of fair play.
The real feelings of Rumley were
displayed when Townley, head OF the
