By CLARA SMITH HAMON.

The past will not let me alone. A
monster has me in it's clutches ana
tortures me with memories l must
go on and on, living through the
agony and degradation OF those years
that destroyed my world of love and
dreams.
WEALTH-THEN ENNUI.
As soon as wealth came into his
hands, his ambitions scared. He saw
himself a great power. l no longer
figured in his plans. The girl who
had given him her youth. everything.
when he was poor now bored him. He
had used me and now he wanted to
cast me of, a broken toy, on the
doorsteps of the world.
Before he had been insanely teal-
Gus of me. I dared not look at another
man. He required OF me the adora-
ton of a slave bound to him body and
soul, and / gave 1t. He was the CEN
ter of my universe and ! was con-
tent to worship at his feet. TO DC
with him was enough, but he added
to my happiness by the little atten-
tions that so appeal to women. 1t is
q mans consideration In the little
things that attract and hold woman.
MEMORY NURsED LOVE.
Later when ne became brutal and
bestial. It was the memory of these
things that kept me from hating him.
This memory blinded me to his neg
lect when 1t began. / clung to my
illusions. I could not bear to nave
loves dreams shattered. i kept ex-
cusing him to myself. held to the
hope that my love would bring him
back IL I waited long enough.
I had no friends In Ardmore then.
The only persons with whom l came
,ip contact were hia friends and b. ST.
hess associates. He did everything
possible to break my heart and yet
my love excused him. Even when
my health broke down under his
contempt and i'll treatment, my heart
held hope. He kept me In two shah
by. dark rooms In hotel here and
there I lay crying my eyes out, vir-
tually a prisoner and he. my keeper.
Why did / stay as the years grew?
Because I still chung to the memories
of the past and always the hope
throbbed in my heart that his old
love for me would return.

In Henry Ford's Dearborn Indepen-
dent Of February IL there appeared
an article written by AGcgman, con-
tanning the basis for th1xstatements
In Mr.. Ford's interviews. denouncing
the so-called international Jew. 1t
betrays the source of Henry Ford's
Inspiration. It Is the poisonous anti
Semitism Of Germany, embodied in

CAMPAIGN A FIASC0.
Henry Ford's anti-Semitic campaign
in this country has been nasco.
None Of the serious and important
organs of the American press paid
any attention to It. Craving notoriety
and publicity. Mr.. Ford was deeply
disappointed. Though he had sent
broadcast copies Of "The international
Jew" q book made up OF the anti
Semitic articles published in the
Dearborn Independent, the press OF
America ignored Henry Ford's "edu-
cational" campaign.
The diKnified and authoritative
statement issued BY the American
Jewish Committee and other Amer
ican Jewish organisations, explain
ing the absurdity Of the anti-Semitic
charges. was reproduced throughout
the country, and the voice Of the
American press was unAistakabl>

international News Service.
American railroads are moving
rapidly towards Government owner
ship" William G. McAdoo, former
Director General of the Railroad Ad-
ministration declared here today.
The Esch-C -Cummins bill, which
provided for the return Of the rail-
roads to private ownership, was
characterized by McAdoo as "the
biggest piece of bunk" ever put over
on the American people.
TELLS OF FOREIGN LOANS.
Mr.. McAdoo, in commenting on the
foreign loan situation said that he ac-
cepted full responsibility for all for
eign loans made up to March, 1920
but said that after that date he had
adopted a policy Of refusing to make
further loans.
McAdoo. in commenting on the
foreign loan sit tuation, said that since
March. 1920. he has strongly opposed
the granting of further loans to
foreign governments. "As early as
March, 1920, I believed II to be a bad
peace time policy to make further
loans." McAdoo said. II take full re-
sponsibility for the loans which /
made, however. and I believe that
this nation should fulfll the promises
which II made prior to March. 1880,
for believes is honor bound to
|SoAllp pevSAts on credits already
estaSiished."
CHARGES VICIOUS PROPAGANDA
Returning to the question of the
railroads. McAdoo charged that "A
vicious propaganda" had been carried
on to secure the return OF the rail-
roads to private control and he de-
clared that the present condition OF
the railroads shows that Govern
ment operation was more efficient
than private operation"
"The railroads are going from bad
to worse" McAdoo said. He de-
clared that the Cummins-Esch bill
had created "gratuities" for the rail-
roads which "they are now reaching
out to grab" and that the American
people have been DATED" to estab
lish these funds for the railroads.
McAdoo said 1t Ia folly to make the
American people give the railroads a
6 per cent return upon valuations
fixed. which do not represent the
service performed. Adequate rates for
adequate service performed. McAdoo
said, should be the standard.
HIGHER RATES NO HELP.
Higher freight and passenger
rates have not helped the rail situa-
tion," McAdoo said. Advances in
rates have largely benefited those car
riers in the more prosperous class.
but very little help has been given
under them to the weaker lines.
Higher rates mean less business
handled" said McAdoo. Rates should
be maintained that will act as A
stimulent to industry. not as check
to its growth and development.
Present rates. for example are
running some New England indus
tries out of business. Such Industries
are unable to compete with similar
industries located in other parts Of
the country"
The former rail director attacked
the whole Government policy Of ex-
tending financial aid to the rail-
roads, in the form OF "gratuities."
"The roads are wading into the
Treasury for all they can get and

Railroads are laying off men;
that may be justified. They are
closing repair shops also, many Of
them. Latest is the New Jersey
Central, very prosperous railroad,
that lays off five thousand men
by closing three shops.
The idea is to have the work
done more economically in shops
not owned by the railroad. Is the
idea also to break up the unions?
That seems to be part Of the pres
emit industrial program in the
United States. 1t is q dangerous
program. Kings of industry, IL
really intelligent, would not want
a disorganized army below them,
hut a well organized army with
representatives able to speak with
authority,
The people of the United States
are about TO pay the railroads
khree hundred and seventy million
dollars in the way Of subsidy, in
addition to many hundreds of 9TH
err millions spent putting the roads
in order. II,
The people have given the rail-
roads gigantic increases in pas
senper and freight rates.
Closing shops, discharging men,
reducing wages is not the most in
telligent return.

A Male Quartet that sings well al

soldier boy in the environments for
nearly a whole year and the boys
called them "the long distance singers
of the world" because their repertoire
seemed inexhaustible. 1t included
literally thousands Of songs ranging
from lifting melodies of popular ia
