b. n. Johnson, cashier Of the Mo-
line hank. who returned Saturday
frum Toledo. where he identified
Forrest and Johnson, stated the
! courts have not determined how
muCh Of the plumber will be turned
Ovek to the Commercial bank. 1t is
probable that the Moline and Ohio
hanks will be. forced to share It ac-
c0sding to their losses. Most Of
the robberies which Forrest and
johnson are alleged to have helped
commit in Ohio occurred before
AUG. 3 and It is for that reason the
men will not be brought to Moline
for trial.
Forrest and johnson still deny
they were implicated in the Moline
robbery on Aug. 3 according to
Cashier Johnson. MIR. Johnson Wis;
tied Cow Boy Bill in the hospital
where he is constantly guarded by
two officers. The wounded man
gave no sign that he recognized the
banker and refused to talk about
the robbery.
Mr.. Johnson visited Forrest in the
county Jail at Toledo, where he
identified him from a line of /;
3 prisoners as the man who had faced
him on the morning of Aug. 3 and
ordered him to throw open the
banks vaults. Forrest Is being
held under $4,000 bond.

falling "butterside uppermost."
Aware that the Young Turk revolu-
ton was brewing, he discreetly re-
tired "for his health" to a foreign
watering place, and waited to see
which side won before declaring
himself. Meanwhile folk in Scutari,
believing that the reign of justice
had been inaugurated by the Young
Turks, cried:
"The first thing the new govern
ment will do will be to hang Essad
and make him return all he has
stolen"
They little knew Essad's posi-
bilities. He returned in triumph as
a member Of the Committee of Union
and Progress, and Scutari ceased to
believe in Young Turk reforms"
Relations between him and the
folk of north Albania were so
strained that when, on the declara-
ton of the first Balkan War, Essad
fastened to Scutari with an army he
was fiercely opposed by a number
of the tribesmen who looked on him
as Turk and tried to prevent him
from reaching the town. He, how
ever, fought his way through. The
town was valiantly defended by the
Turkish commander, Husssin RIA,
who, when he found no reinforce
ments could be hoped for from the
Turks, planned to hoist the Albanian
flag and call in the mountain Alba
mans to the rescue. But an Alba
man Scutari would not suit Essad's
schemes. He was we'll aware that
Scutarl no more than the south
would ever accept him. The night
before Hussein was to arrange the
sortle Essad invited him to supper,

age and too much dignity are not
necessary, are only handicaps.
Roads to babies hearts are very
straight for grandmothers when
love and pride lead the way. Back
she turned from the window with a
Sigh (the fire had not come up to
expectations), but the sigh quickly
became smile as she dropped into a
chair and said:
" A racing fire engine or a circus

moment of the whole day, then, was

represented excitement, romance and

hoods dreams. The circus came less
often, but was almost as thrilling.

After fifteen years of hard work
Mrs. Rinehart finds it hard to relax.
At present she is trying to eliminate
the short story work with which she
usually fills in her year. Her new
novel, "The Poor Wise Man." to be
published in October, she began last
August and worked steadily on till
the middle of January-straight
ahead every day. She wrote the
book in longhand with pen and ink
and then rewrote it after it had been
typed, making total of 100000
words.
Il still have not recovered from
the strain she told me. "While I

grants from every quarter of the
world, is to be the basis Of this ear
rasping jargon? Would Mr.. Hughes
select the dreadful amalgam of
Yiddish and low-down, slop-shop
argot barely recognizable as Eng
lish in substance, which is the one
ubiquitous dialect of American city
life?
But if he prefers the clean, clear
mother tongue, which the great
American writers have adapted to
such high purpose, then ne gives
away his whole case for linguistic
separation. In point Of fact he con-
flutes himself-for his article, which
is given in a miscellany section, sig
nificantly entitled "The Lions
Mouth" is written throughout in
English without a single colloquial-
ism of American origin! Indeed, his
dissertation is an omen of his i'm
potence, species of Bos locutus est
in fact.
And he is not so foolish as to at
tempt to deny that, even at the pres
ent moment, our young poets and
novelists are setting the pace for the

Every morning about 8 o'clock,

and as Hussein left Essad's house
that night he was assassinated BIZ
two Of Essad's men, who afterward
boasted of the deed.
Waste He Recognized
After this Essad entered into com
munication with the Montenegrins
and surrendered the town to them
on condition that he left it fully
armed with all his men and plenty
of food and ammunition and that
he should be recognized as prince
in a small Albania in the center of
the land. He even went the length
OF having postage stamps with his
head on them printed, but these have
never been used.
Through 1913 he was greatly
dreaded in Albania, as he was the
only man with an armed force at

south, hoped for the arrival of a
European prince who should crush
him, and he was stated in the sum
mer of 1918 already to be plotting
with the Greeks and Serbs to divide
Albania. 1t was Essad who engi-
neered the rising agaxnsr the Prince
Of Wied by means Of tricks I have
not space to detail. He was arreste,
and would no doubt have been tried
and executed but for the interven-
ton of Italy, who insisted on his
liberation. Itarpears that italy was
then supporting him, for he went
to Rome and was decorated. Later
on Italy learned that a man who can
betray his own country can also
betray others. Essad sided with
French and Jugo- Slav plass and
threw over Italy. 20

and translations. That is all there
is to it. And, judging by some of
the American plays which get put
on IN London for reasons beyond my
humble comprehension, there is al
ready scope for such aids to under
standing. Not but what it might be
a more convenient course to take off
all these American plays which, to
speak with brutal frankness, simply
bore me stiff, especially those in
which melodramatic "doughboys"
can be discerned winning the war
with voice grenades.
The case for this declaration of
literary independence has now been
stated to the best of my capacity.
Seeing that a Presidential election
is raging over there and thousands
of orators are busy twisting the
British lions tail, Mr.. Rupert
Hughes ought to get large num-
Der of signatures. In so far as he
is engaged in destroying the Boston
ian tradition of obsequiousness to
English models of style, Mr.. Rupert
Hughes has my sympathy. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that we shall
soon have heard the last of the
steep-browed snobisme, expressed in
shifts that wax at times to a
"thunderous huff-snuff," which sets
the weak and colorless Longfellow
above Goods Fool" Mark Twain,
and cries down O. Henry, who has
shown us the very soul of New York,
as merely maker of the "inept
laughter" which the Latin tag con-
dennis as the most inept Of all
things.
. SO far, SO good; all English critics
who rejoice in the mystical stories
Of Hawthorne, the tender idylls of
Whittier, the wise jewels of Elmer
son, who revived the very intona-
ton Of Sir Thomas Brownies ma
jestical thought, and the Homeric
horse sense of Walt Whitman, will
wish Mr.. Hughes victory in his cru
SADIE against literary snobbishness.
And I, at any rate, am we'll content
that an American language should
live and grow and be victorious, with
the same freedom to be itself as
must be conceded to the Doric speech
of Scotland, that elder sister Of our
rich and noble English.
Let the American writers of prose
and verse cherish the old Shake
spearean words, which have sur
vived in their vernacular, though
lost to ours, and let them make the
best use of the so-called Slang
which really consists of the new
SMILES and metaphors that grow in
evitably out of new conditions of
living. But it is absurd to hope for
the establishment of an anti-English
diction called "United-statesish"-
the mere fact that Mr.. Hughes has
to give it such a grisly and ridicu-
lous name demonstrates its impos-
sibility.
