GEN. WOODS VISION

n. Y. World
In the process of demonstrating
Gen. Leonard Woods spreme qualifi-
cations for the Republican nomina-
ton for President, the esteemed
Tribune tells US that
In 1902 he attended the manoeu-
vres OF the German Army. The
Kaiser thought his quiet, unflatter-
able visitor was dull-not aware
that his keen mind had keenly
pierced the Kaiser's secret. A dam
ger threatened America and the
world, and Gen. Wood saw it.
Very interesting, indeed, but having
pierced the Kaiser's secret and pierced
the danger to America and the world,
what did Gen. Wood do about it +?
Apparently he told nobody-not even
his friend President Roosevelt, who a
few years later supported Austria
Hungary in taking over Bosnia and
Herzegovina, which was one of the
preliminary steps to the World War.
Without disparagement to Gen.
Woods psychic qualities, we strongly
suspect that his vision in this matter
was mostly hindsight, like other peo-
pies vision. If it was otherwise he
made singularly profitless use of the
secret he had pierced.

CHAPTER v.
The Mystery Solved?


Two days later Mr.. Snyder sat in
his office There was a telegram be-
fore him.
1t ran as follows:
Have solved Gunner mystery. Re
turning. "Oakes."
Mr Snyder rang the bell
Send Mr.. OakcS to me directly he
arrives" he said.
tilted his chair back, and frowned at
the ceiling.
He was panied 10 find that the chief
emotion with which the telegram from
Oakes had affected him was annoy
auce The swift solution OF such an
apparently insoluble problem would re-
fleet the highest credit on the agency.
nd there were picturesque circum-
stances connected with the case which
would make 1t popular with the news
pnperInen and lead to its being ac-
corded n great deal OF publicity
On the whole, no case OF recent
years promised to give the agency a
bigger advertisement than this one.
Yet, in spite of all this, Mr. Snyder
was annoyed. Il was ridiculous and
unprofessionai of him to be annoyed.
but human nature was too strong for
him.
He realized now how large part
had played with him.
Looking at the thing honestly. he
owned to himself that he had had no
expectation that the young man would
come within mile of reasonable
solution Of the mystery; and he had
calculated that his failure would prove
a valuable piece of education for him.
For the professional was mixed up
with the unprofessional in Mr.. Sny-
der's attitude toward his assistant. II
vas not only as private individual
that he had hoped to See Oakes reduced
to humility by failure he also believed
that failure would make oakes a more
valuable asset to the agency.
Oakes had intelligence. That he had
never denied. Mr.. Snyder's grievance
against him was that he had only
about half the intelligence with which
ne credited himself.
His aggressive belief in himself i'm
paired his utility as detective He
needed breaking in, and Mr.. Snyder
had looked to this case to effect this
! end
And here he was. within q ridicu-
| lously short space Of time. returning
to the fold. not humble and defeated,

FORMER TEACHER AT
C. s. n. S. DIES

Word comes from New Raymer,
Colorado, Of the death Of Paul j.
Hemitt, former teacher at the Normal.
He was here in 1912 and 1918. After
leaving here Mr.. Hewitt became sup
erintendent at Hayden, Colorado, and
then he was made superintendent at
New Raymer. After two years Of
work at the latter place, he was
forced to give up indoor work on &C
count Of poor health; and he and his
wife took up homestead near New
Raymer. His wife is the daughter
Of Prof. J. H. Shriber Of the Colorado
Agricultural College faculty.
Hewitt was a graduate Of the Uni
versity of Michigan, and it seems Z
pity that r. brilliant career should
Be cut on 1t the early age Of 80.

Criticism of Sims by Former
Assistant Chief of Opera

Washington, April 27.-Criticism
OF Rear Admiral Sims, voiced before
the senate naval investigating COM
mittec by Rear Admiral ]. S.
Mexican was repri1nanded BY Sena-
tor Hale for indulging in PERSONAL
ties"
The officer declared he was only
following precedent set by Ad-
rniral Sims, while Senator Trammel
remarked thar the cfairman's OBJ
jections to personalities had not run
against Admiral Sims snappy COM
ments."
Admiral Sims charge that delays
by the navy department prolonged
hostilities four months and cost
100000 additional lives. were mon
strous," Admiral Mexican said, add
ing that ''if it had been made by a
patient iii the government insane
asylum" it could be understood. but
that coming from "a rear admiral,
the head of the naval war, college, it
was an insult to every officer and
man in the navy or who served in
the navy during the war"
The charge that the department
had no plans for war also was un-
founded. he said. He added that one
plan had been in existence for years
before the war and, was corrected
up to the time the United States
joined the allies and constantly
changed as the situation altered.
The plan was not perfect, he said.
because OF new elements injected
into the war by German submarines.
Captain Pratt, in answer to Sena-
tor Tralnmel. who sought to show
that Admiral Sims letter to Secre-
tary Daniels, entitled "Some naval
lessons of the world war" was in
reality sweeping criticism Of Sec
retary Daniels and naval officers
generally. said he had no reason to
doubt Admiral Sims declaration il
was not intended as personal
criticism. He could not avoid the
impression, however, he added. that
Sims was criticis;ng the chief OF
naval operations.

dictnents similar to those which
have, been returned in Washington,

with conspiracy to defraud, soon will
be sought in many other parts OF
the country. it was announced here
by the National Association of
Credit Men, which has been coop
Grating with federal agents in an
eight -rnonths3 Investigation said TO
involve the loss of millions of dol
lars.
Charles D. West, manager of the
associations investigation and prose-
cution department, declared that the
association had discovered traces Of
a nationwide plan, engineered by
educated Syrians, to defraud cloth
ing and textile jobbers. and whole
salers.
He said that the general scheme
was to set up Syrian merchants in
business, show them how to oper-
ate small stores and to build up
credit. The "higher-ups' then in
structed the small merchants to buy
on credit large amounts of fine tex
tiles easily handled by travelling ped
dlers. West alleged that after the
goods were received many of these
small merchants disappeared and the
''higher-ups" obtained the merchan-
disc and disposed of it.
