Report to Palmer
Former Editor of ''New

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Edward A.
Rumely, of New York, who edited "The
New York Evening Mail" as the
kaiser's agent for more than year
after the United States entered the
war, as well as for many months be-
fore then, was indicted on two counts
here to-day. He already has been in
dicted in New York on a charge of
perjury.
The indictments found here are in
connection with DR.. Rumely's failure
to report the German ownership. of
"Thc Mail" to A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien
Property Custodian. In the indictment
1T is stated that since MIR. Palmer has
fis main office here, failure to report
to him was a crime committed in the
District of Columbia.
The first of the two counts under the
indictment charges that DR.. Rumely on
and since October IT,. 1917, had the
custody and control of certain shares
Of stock in the s. S. Mcclure News
paper Corporation on behalf Of an
enemy Of the United States, the Ger
man government, and that he failed to
report this fact to Mr.. Palmer. The
second count is OH his failure to re-
port that he was indebted to the i'm
of $1,451,700
DR.. Rumely was arrested on June 2.
He subsequently was indicted by the
Federal grand jury on a charge of per-
jury and held in $4,000 bail for trial.
At the same time, S. Walter Kaufman,
former counsel for the German En-
bassy here, was indicted on the same
charge.
1t is alleged that Rumely purchased
"The Mail" from Henry l.. Stoddard in
June, 1915, with $1,361 900 furnished
by Count Won Bernstorf for the pur-
pose of using it as propaganda or
gan. The payment of this money was
traced by Attorney General Lewis of
New York. The transaction was carried
on in the same way as the money was

rich Albert, the German financial at
tache, who was the espionage and prop
aganda paymaster, directed the trans

Albert caused various banks where
the German government had accounts
to issue cashiers checks to the order
of Walter Lyon, member of the former
Wall Street firm of Renskorf g. Lyon.
Lyon in turn is said to have deposited
the checks to the credit of Renskorf e.
Lyon, who returned it to Lyon by check,
which he gave to DR.. Rumely.
Rumely will be placed on trial in
New York some time this month
Frederick Powell, counsel for Dr.
Rumely, said his client probably would
be arrigned in the Federal District
Court this afternoon. The permission
of the New York court will be neces-
sary before DR.. Rumely can go to
Washington to plead to the indictments

PLACE MAURICE ON
THE RETIRED LIST

London May 1f.--Majo General
Sir Frederick h. Maurice today was
placed or the retired list
A brief announcement from London
that General Maurice has been placed
on the retired list. ends one of the
most stincuished military careers in
Britain and, at the same time. brings
TO the generally predicted conclusion
the greatest political crisis England
has faced since the outbreak of the
war
To Maurice himself his dismissal
in ignominious circumstances cannot
come as a surprise. He foresaw, and
even courted il, for in the letter to
the public press. which caused the
great crisis, he said he WAS taking
the step fully aware OF all the con-
sequences 10 himself He asserted
he deemed his duty as citizen and
patriot TO outweigh his duty as a
soldier

Maurice was chief director OF uili-
tary operations at the war Office for
more than two years As such, he
gave weekly interviews TO America N

ton N the front Al the height of

marks grsvely offensive 10 the

question, Where is Bluecher -

that very hour French reserves were

Immediately upon this unprecedented
&C, OF indiscretion Maurice WAS
transferred to a command IN the
field
II was plainly a donation. for as
director OF military operations he
had help OF the most responsible and
confidential posts in Britain. AS 10
his subsequent procedure, the con
sensus of observers in London is that
Maurice lost his head when he lost
his job. Instead OF using one Of the
many direct channels open to him
for comm unicating with the prime
minister OF war cabinet, ne wrote a
letter to several newspa pers. impucn
