The Earliest Englishman

1T is impossible to estimate in centuries
L the time that has elapsed since man
appeared in England, but there is album
dant evidence showing that he dwet there
at time when the river valleys had not
been cut down to anything like their
present depth, when the character of the
animal life was entirely different from
what it is to-day, and when the southern
part Of the island was connected by land
with the continent of Europe.
Some idea of the time that has elapsed
may be gathered from the fact that valleys
some miles in width and of depth of
from 100 TO $50 feet have eroded since
the deposit of the earliest beds contain
ing remains of flint implements made BY
the hand of man.

ical "Black Book" said to have been com
piled by the German Government and
to contain the names and the records of
$4,000 Englishmen and Englishwomen,
more or less prominent, addicted TO vari-
GUS forms Of degeneracy, and therefore
subject to blackmail and amenable to
terrorism on the part of those Teutons
cognizant of their moral alterations.
Pemberton-Billing was forced in court
to admit that he had never seen the book
But he brought forward Mrs. Villiers-
Stuart, wife Of an English officer serving
in India, quite unknown in London, and
who alleged that the Right Hon. Neil
Primrose, younger son of Lord Rosebery
and a leading member of the Asquith and
Lloyd George administrations, had driven
out in taxicab with his cousin, Major
Evelyn de Rothschild, to a village inn
some thirty miles from London in order
to show her this book and explain its
contents to her.
Killed While Fighting the Turks.
Both Neil Primrose popular and
familiar figure in New York before the
war-and Evelyn de Rothschild were shot
down by Turkish bullets while bravely
leading their men in the attack upon
Jerusalem, and it was insinuated from
the witness stand that they had been shot
In the back by their own men, murdered
in fact, because Of their knowledge of
the vices of those in power in England.
She was unable to explain. why the two
gallant officers who fell fighting for their
country-one of them had already won
his spurs as statesman of marked bril-
lancy-should have taxicabbed so far out
into the country in order TO show to an
utterly unknown woman 4 volume which,
if it ever existed, they would have turned
over to the authorities at Scotland Yard,
but which, according to her assertion,
they afterward restored to the German
Government.
The other person who claims to have
seen the book and to have handled it was
a young American of the name of Harold
Spencer, who pretended to have been an
officer of the International Gendarmerie
in Albania, and TO have served on the staff
and as a member of the household of
Prince William of WED during the lat
ter's brief occupancy of the throne of
Albania. He asserted that the Prince had
shown him the book, had lent it to him
and that they had frequently discussed lis
contents together.
But during last week Prince William of
WED las issued from Berlin an official
statement, in which he says that he had
never seen or heard either in Albania or
elsewhere Of a Capt. Harold Spencer;
that he had never had any such man on
his staff or in his household; that no such
person had. TO his knowledge, served in
the International GendarmCvle in Albania
and that he had never even heard or
dreamed of the existence of any such

OTNlIHSTANDlNG the wide
~ spread impression here and abroad
to the effect that the standards Of private
character in political life and Of news
paper ethics in America are inferior to
those prevailing in the Old World quite
the contrary is the case.
Electoral contests are fought out here
with quite as much intensity and even
bitterness as in other countries Nal
feasanee in Office, sharp practice, cor
rupt dealings and dishonesty in CONNER
cial transactions have all been ascribed to
candidates and to their supporters in the
struggle for victory at the polls. But in
no single instance that / can recall has
there been any public suggestion of prof
legacy or of domestic scandal.
l will not go so far as to say that there
has been no cause for imputations of this
kind. But where cause has existed the
matter has been treated with discreet
silence by the newspapers of the United
States, which are falsely supposed, not
only abroad but even on this side of the
Atlantic, to represent the most extreme
forms of the unfettered license Of the
press.
Printed Most Outrageous Charges.
During the last week we have received
from England newspapers containing re-
ports of the shocking Billing
and Maud Allan trial in London. Through
the mismanagement of the septuagenarian
Judge who presided at the trial Of the
ease, which was one of criminal libel
brought by Miss Allan against Pember-
ton-Billing, the defendant and certain of
his witnesses were permitted to introduce
all sorts of irrelevant matter, comprising
charges against many of the leading men
In the public life Of Great Britain, as
well as against women occupying places
in the foremost ranks of society.
Accusations against former Premiers
and Ministers Of State, Lord High Chan
cellors, Ambassadors, &C., actually men
toned by name, were allowed to be made
in open court, without shred Of evidence
in support thereof, by individuals shown
to be utterly irresponsible, and no OPP
portunity was afforded to the people thus
maligned to protect their fair name. To
such an extent did the trial degenerate
into an attack on these political and social
leaders, as well as on English society gen.
orally, that the libel charges brought by
the Pacific coast dancer against Pember-
tonBilling were entirely relegated to the
background and forgotten, and when the
defendant was acquitted by the jury Of
maligning Maud Allan the result was ac-
tually hailed by Pemberton-Billing and by
his followers as species of judicial justi-
ecation of his imputations.
The worst offenders in the entire affair
have been the London newspapers, which,
according to the copies which have just
arrived from England, seem to have made
a point of printing every single word of
the proceedings day by day.

Ger until he read of it in the reports of the
Pemberton-Bi Billing Maud Allan trial.
As for Noel Pemberton- Billing himself,
he is an extraordinary creature, and even
before the war was noted for the reckless
ness and extravaganza of his charges and
accusations against public men and Off
Gals of every kind. But years ago he
managed to get into Parliament, and since
then has made himself a nuisance to men,
bers of all parties in the House of Com
mons, from which he was elected last
week, kicking and fighting, by the police
in obedience to the orders Of the Speaker.
Son of an ironfounder at Birmingham,
Pemberton- Billing may be described as
self-made man, especially in the matter of
education. For he ran away to sea at
the age of IA and had recourse to many
callings. He has been a sailor and was
n soldier In the Boer war of eighteen
years ago. He has been an actor, a brick
layer, a street car conductor, the manager
of circus shooting gallery, chauffeur, a
journalist, a land Spectator and an
inventor.
Quarrelled With Aviation Heads.
In the years Immediately prior to the
present war he took out innumerable pat
ents and became a promoter, first Of
automobile concerns and then of aviation
companies, and in the spring Of 1914 en-
=
service between southampton and the
Isle of Wight. He joined the aviation
service when England went into the war
and received a commission. But he soon
quarrelled with the heads of the Aviation
Department, owing to his lack of disci-
pine and their refusal to consider seri-
ously his innumerable suggestions and
inventions on the subject of aviation.
In fact he became so bitter against
them that when young Nicholson, son of
Sir Charles Nicholson, one of the most
popular members of the House Of Com
mons, was killed in an aviation accident
owing to some defect in the plane, Penn
Billing charged his superior Of
ficers, the heads of the air service, with
the responsibility Of the lads death, in
sisting that if his advice had been fol-
lowed and his inventions accepted this
fatality and others of the same kind
would not have occurred, winding up by
denouncing young Nieholson's death as a
murder rather than as an accident. That
of course ended Pemberton-Billing's con-
nection with the Government service.

WOOD REMAINS FORo

Rakcr Tells Senate Committee That

WASHINGTON. June 10.--Sec-
retary Baker, appearing today be-
fore the senate military committee
Mt the start OF the hearing on the
army appropriation bin said the
orders holding Major General Wood
in this country were regarded FOR
the good OF the service" and pre-
scented a plan for appointing sue
cessors to Major Generals Crozier
and Sharpe. who have been relieved
respectlvely from their active juris-
diction over the ordnance and quar-
termasters bureau. Some senators
urged that General Wood be sent
across.
Secreary Baker proposed that an
amendment be added to the bill
authorizing the president to appoint
two major generals, "at large" to
provide that rank for Generals
Crozier and Sharpe and to clear up
the present situation by which Cen
eral Crozier retains the title and
rank as head of the ordnance bu-
reau although serving on the war
council with a subordinate as act
ing chief OF the ordnance and by
which Quartermaster General
Sharpe has been sent to a southern
post with an acting" quartermaster
handling the bureau. The commit
tee. It was said, was favorably dis
posed to the plan presented.
