Proceeds Against

Former Managing Editor of
The Tribune Denies That
He Knew Rumely

"Dr. Ernest Fl. Gruening, who until,
Friday evening was managing editor of
The Tribune, appeared yesterday at the
Office of Assistant United States At
torncy Harper, in the Federal Building,
to answer the rumor that he had been
friendly with DR.. Edward A. Rumely,
who ran 'The Evening Mail" After
ward Mr.. Harper made the following
statement:
"This office has no evidence whatever
that DR.. Gruening was connected in
any way with DR. Rumely in the trans
Mall by Won Bernstorff and the i'm
perial German government. Or. Gruen-
ing's name had been given to me as a
person who might possess some in-
formation upon particular matter con-
ncctcd with the investigation Of The
Mail DR.. Gruening himself has not
been under investigation by this office
| have questioned him, and he states
that he has not the information that
thought he might have. That is his
whole connection with this transaction
SO far as known to this Office.
Captain Lloyd, of the Military Intel
Harper's Office at the time, said in re.
ply to a question: eve have nothing
against Dr.. Gruening."
Later Mr.. Gruening issued the fol
lowing statement:
Journal this afternoon a thoroughly
false and malicious story under the
headline, Tribune Editor Rumely',
Pal In view Of the fact that I de-
not know DR.. Rumely, that I have
never set eyes on him or any member
of his family in the three months
that | have lived in the same apart
ment house, the falsity of this head
line is apparent. It's deliberate malice
is further evidenced by the fact tina
the morning papers carried state
ments from me setting forth my tota
lack of acquaintance with Dr. Rune
ly. I have, therefore, placed the mat
ter in my counsel's hands to take such
ERNEST H. GRUENING."
DR.. Gruening said that he had start
ed libel suit against THE Evenine
issue of yesterday, whi:h connected
him with Or. Rumely as an associate.
Mr.. Gruening came to The Tribune
less than four months ago from th<
War Trade Board at Washington
where ne had been performing dutie,
of an important and confidential char
acter. The government had investi
gated his record, as it does that Of
every person intrusted with such work
and found him perfectly acceptable
Before that he had been managing
editor Of "The Boston Traveller" He
is a Harvard man. The reasons fol
his leaving The Tribune were not re-
lated to interest Of the Department OF
Justice or the Military intelligence
Bureau in his alleged acquaintance
with DR.. Rumely, who also issued a
statement yesterday denying that he
knew Mr. Gruening. The occupied

carry the war to successful end, as
the correspondents of the Reuter- and
Havas. agencies would make believe in
their lying dispatches that are sent ia
the European press.
"1t is impossible to know here what
is the attitude. Of the Hearst news
papers-impossiblc for the, good and
sufficient reason that the American and
Entente censorships prevent these
newspapers reaching the neutral coun-
tries. We can get only indirectly ar
idea of their import from journals bien
peasants Representative newspapers)
which here and there pick up phrases
from The American and The Journal
for the purpose of denouncing their
anti-Americanism.
Points to Mitchers Defeat
ION the other hand, the American
newspapers which arrive here regularly
with their timid objections to and their
bitter-sweet eulogies of the bolicies of
the master of the White House serve to
give US an idea of the criticism con-
tanned in those American Journals
which always have been against the war
and the ideas of Wilson,"
The Gazette des Ardennes" added
that the defeat of Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell, who was opposed by Hearst,
was striking lesson that the United
States is not united in the war, but is
behind Wilson and Roosevelt"
1t intimated that 70 some American
newspapers are mildly criticising their
governments war policy, and said Eng
land and France would pause if they
knew how uncertain is the feeling in
the United States that America will 20
on with the war until the end,
This German propaganda causes
laughter among the French and ridicule
among the Americans.

Foreign Insurance
Business Wound Up

WASHINGTON, July l3-The bust
ness interests Of all foreign insurance
companies classed as enemies or allies
of enemies are being closed out and the
remaining properties taken over by the
Alien Property Custodian, who an
bounced to-day there are four ma
rine companies, thirteen fire COM
panes, two life companies and one cas-
ualty company, in addition to four COM
panies incorporated in the United
States, but under enemy ownership.
Before the war. according to the
Alien Property Custodian, these COM
panics enjoyed a very large patronage
in the United States, and the destruc-
ton of their plants will set free "a
large amount of insurance to be re-
placed with American companies or
with such other foreign companies as
are privileged to continue business. It
seems probable, says the announce
ment. that this will afford an unusual
opportunity for the organization and
development of number of new Amer
lean companies

ganda fell inside the American lines.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
 HOWE-MAROT SCHOOL.

Thompson-Miss Howe and Miss Marot's School in Thompson main tains the usual high educational and attractive order in the closing eXer- cises and the graduation exercises, which will be held Saturday evening and Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenings, June s, 10 and H.
 The program by the individual members of the graduating class, in which each student presents that as peet of the war, most closely connect ed with her present interests, and, in some cases, with her future work, is a most fitting exercise in war time
 Especially appropriate, however, is the rendering at this time of Racine's $ Esther" Apart from the fact that Esther" is especially adapted for young ladies of select school, as the great French poet prepared Esther" for the girls of Saint Cyr. the play in culcated patriotic sentiments in the language of the nation which so su- perbly exhibits the love of country. In a time. when "Le Dieu que nous servons est le Dieu du combat" 1t is well to learn that Mardochee's plea: "Quoi! lorsque vous voyez perir votre
 patrie,
 Pour quelque chose, Esther. vous
 comptez votre vie!
 Dieu parle; ct dun mortel vous
 craignez le courrouxi
 Que dis-je? Votre vie, Esther, est
 elle a vous?"
 finds response in Esther's heroic re- solve:
 ''Demain, quand le soleil rallumera le
 jour,
 Contente de perir, s'il faut que je
 perisse,
 yirai pour mon pays m offrir en sac
 rifice"
