Mr.. Liveright Explains

ITO THE EDITOR OF Books AND TIE
Il Book WORLD-Sr: In Your issle
Of June % you print letter by Albert
Bigelow Paine relative to The publication
by Boni 6 Liveright Of collection Of
sketches by the late Samuel L. Clemens,
entitled TIE Curious Republic Of Con
dour. Mr. PANE says, 1T is now issued
under the name Samuel l. Clemens, as
the name Marx Twain 10 a trade mark and
protected by law"
feeHfhat it is unjust to us TO allow
Your readers to remain aaler. The iineres-
sion that We refrain from nsing fhesname
Mark Twain because of my legal hin
dranee or barrier. This Is not . correct
statement, and / feel that it may be of
interest to you and your readers TO learn
why the name Samuel L. Clemens was
used instead of the better known name
Mark Twain" the use of which name
might possibly have doubled or trebled the
sale of the volume in question.
When Mr. MordeIl, who collected these
sketches, brought them to Us we imne-
diately referred him to Harper & Bros as
the accredited publishers of everything
that Mark Twain wrote. Although We
knew these sketches to be uneopyrighted
it would not have occurred to us TO have
published them without first consulting
the publishers who had been 50 closely
associated with Samuel l. Clemens. When
Harper & Bros. told Mr.. Mordel they
were not interested in publishing this ma
terial they expressed their entire willing
ness to have Us publish this volume, pro-
viding the name Mark Twain was not
used. Previous to this We had very care
fully investigated the situation and had
been advised by our counsel that we were
clearly within our legal rights In using
the name Mark Twain if We so desired
The law governing this matter can be
found by reference to the ease Of Clemens
vs.. Bedford, Clark & Co, Federal Re
port, Vol. 14,728 January 8, 1889. In
addition to this case, there are many other
CSlStS dS Idtc dS .1J1J, NHfci, III TIE OpHi-
ion of our counsel, clearly and without
any question prove eonelusisely our right
to use the maine Mark Twain ON this I'M
copyrighted material il we so desire -
Therefore, it is clear that in the, first
place We did not publish The Curious Re,
public Of Go1sdoxr without first offering
the material to Harper 6 Bros, and that
it was merely our sense of fairness to this.
company that influenced our action In the
use of the name Samuel l. Clemens in
stead of that of the much better known
MARX Twain" In this connection Har-
per & Bros. wrote to Mr.. Mordell to com
mend him for the honorable way In which
he handled the whole matter. Mr.. Nor
delrs actions were the result Of our ad-
vice to him.
By printing this letter you will merely
maintain your usual policy of giving thou
sands of readers both sides Of a question.

in Russia, has it held out so long? He
says it has held out because little has
been done to prevent it from holding out,
and because OF the division and the seat
terlng of It's opponents, whereas the Boil
shevists themselves are fairly united. He
thinks if the Allies had been agreed on
a Russian policy, and especially if the
Allies had gone TO the assistance of the
all-Russian Government formed after the
epic victories, as he describes them, of
the Czecho- SIovak army, Russian skies
might by now be cleared OF the black mists
of BOlshevism.
Mr.. Ackerman's book, however, ends
happily, as You might say. Even the
clouds of Bolshcvism have a silver lining,
and this silver lining Mr.. Alderman chiefly
glimpses in the cooperative unions, with
their membership of 20,000,G00 heads of
families, and more than $4,000 shops,
mills, factories and warehouses, which
have been the only things in Russia that
have thus far successfully stood out
against the Bolshevist decree abolishing
private ownership, and have refused to
permit the Soviets TO confscate their
properties.
YIT
g. Mr.. Alderman has included in his book
the interesting document OF the Cars
valet describing his last days in Ekater-
inburg. Among the Illustrations is a pic
ture of the house, still surroundedAy the
high stockade, where the royal familyfwas
imprisoned. Before the war Rkaterin-
burg was one Of the largest industrial
cities in the Urals, famous for It's plat
mum and fold mines; city of',palaces
built by millionaire NINE owners. Now
its chief interest is the house where the

WILSON STILL
GAINS SLOWLY
Official Bulletin Says Presi-
dent Is Stronger Than
Since Illness Began.

Washington, Oct. 8.-President
Wilson was stronger today than at
any time since he became III, nearly
two weeks ago, said bulletin issued
today by Rear Admirals Grayson and
Stitt, and Dr.. Sterling Ruffin. The
bulletin follows:
"The president continues to improve
slowly. He is stronger today than at
any time since his illness began
Cheerful at Breakfast.
After another good night, President
Wilson appeared cheerful this morn
ing, White House officials said, and,
for the first time in more than n
week. expressed preference for eggs
for breakfast. 1t is with increasing
difficulty that Rear Admiral Grayson
and Secretary Tumulty keep the pres
ident from taking a hand in affairs OF
state. Late yesterday the president
asked to see several persons, but
neither Dr. Grayson nor Secretary
Tumulty was able to locate any of
them.
The president told them they
showed n remarkable inability to find
anyone he wanted to see. adding that
so far as he was concerned the cam
paign of silence" was at an end.
Although DR.. Grayson had dis
couraged the practice of having Mrs
Wilson read to the president, he is
now permitting this to great ex-
tent Newspapers are banned, how
ever, and the patient Is kept practi-
cally In ignorance of the progress OF
world events.
Messages of sympathy were re-
ceived at the White House today from
King George. of England; King AL
bert, of Belgium, a delegation of Ar
menlans, President Marco +, Suarez
and Minister of Foreign Relations A.
Pomponio Guzeman, of Colombia and
Earl Curzon, of Kedleston.
1t was indicated that anything the
president is allowed to do is of a
trivial nature and designed more thar
anything else to satisfy his craving
for something to do. 1t was also
stated that the president now is al
lowed to sit up at intervals durinf
| the day. but notSso loA1f that tht
strain would prove too much.

CHI }, Oct. S.-Two hundred
strif steel workers, men who had
touf with the American army in
Eur and who Sunday donned their
ovl IS uniforms and led a parade
of 5,000 strikers and sympathizers in
q demonstration in Gary which re-
suited in the calling out of the fed
eral troops to prevent threatened
bloodshed in the Calumet strike dis
trict, today donned their uniforms
again and went among the strikers !;
but today they are seeking to pre-
vent a repetition of Sundays demon
stration by telling the ill advised"
strikers that the federal troops sent
among them are not there to inter
fere in the strike" but to protect life
and property.
They are emphasizing the fact that
while the regular soldiers do not want
to use arms, they will shoot to kill
if necessary.
Hopes to Paefy Strikers.
In this way Col. w. S. Mapes, in
charge of the federal troops, hopes
to pacify the strikers, many of whom
had been worked up to a frenzied
state of rebellion by radicals posing
as friends of the laboring men.
The overseas soldiers responded to
a call sent out by Maj. Bye late yes
terday asking that former overseas
men meet him. They responded in
numbers. Among them were hun
dreds who had participated in Sun-
days demonstration.
Maj. Bye in talking to the men told
of the raids made on radical head
quarters in Gary during the day. He
told of the finding of pictures of Le-
~ nj 1ch
visits, in the home of radical strike
leaders" He told of the seizure by
agents of the army intelligence de-
partment of tons Of alleged seditious
literature. He pictured to the over
seas men the radical activities of
some Of the men who We're taking an
active part in the strike. He told
how the radical literature" was be-
ing sent into other steel strike dis
tricts from the headquarters Of the
radical leaders in Gary. Then Mai
Bye asked those overseas soldiers to
aid the federal troops In ferreting
and stamping out the radicals. Two
hundred of the overseas soldiers Of
fered their services and today started
out to aid the federal troops in pre-
serving law and order.
In the meantime reports reached
Chicago that thousands of men in the
Calumet district are returning to
work in the steel mills. Union work.
ers who had refused to strike and
nonunion men who had continued
their work are going back and forth
to the mills unmolested.
Federal troops are patrolling the
streets of Gary and the city Is under
martial law Since the arrival of the
federal soldiers but one disturbing
incident has been reported-a brawl
between two strikers, ending in the
stabbing of one of them.
The situation throughout the en-
tire Calumet steel strike district Is
improving.
