PRODUCTION by Henry Jay Case.

THERE has just appeared biog-
= raphy of the late Guy Hamil-
ton Scull, who was soldier. writer,
explorer and war correspondent,
but, above all, personality.
Greater soldiers, greater writer's,
greater explorers, greater war CORE
spondents, greater gentlemen ad-
yenturers," have been quickly for
gotten. Guy Scull possessed a GER
tain quality. hard to define and de-
scribe, certain compelling force,
that is likely long to keep his men,
cry green. 1t was something differ
ent from mere achievement. To
illustrate, take his life as an un.
dergraduate at Harvard. Other
men athletically inclined "made
varsity" as the expression was in
the golden nineties," with crew or
nine or eleven, yet their fame was
short lived and their names pre-
served only in the records. Guy
Scull made" his class crew and
eleven and from that left an ath-
letic record that has endured. 1t
was personality. The present biog-
raphy is a significant tribute. 1t is
compiled by Henry Jay Case, but
to its making have contributed
Colonel James Barnes, Lincoln.
Steffens, Franklin Clarkin, Colonel
Arthur Woods, Roger Derby, Carl
Hovey, Eliot Wadsworth and many
others.
HERE are SO many aspects to
\ that varied and eventful life,
so many angles from which to ap-
proach Guy Scull's personality, that
a certain arbitrary selection is nee
essary. Mr. Case points out that
Scull rarely talked of his ad-
ventures, in fact that he talked
very little at any time. The
few exceptions were the golden
hours knowE to a very few
when in corner of the Har-
ward Club OF New York or in some
cafe tucked away in an obscure
corner OF the city, his mood right,
and some one spinning yarn that
touched a hidden chord deep within
him, there would come from him
tales of adventure, short. powerful
paragraphs, crammed with human
interest, humor, pathos, parody.
painted as no one but he could do it.
Certainly no one but a man who
had played a part in them could
have held the attention as he did.
Yet no one ever heard him use the
first personal pronoun. He did not
know it. This modesty and humil.
ity from a man who had lived
through what he had was one of the
things that drew others to him.
Wherever he was there was always
a group around him. For all his
taciturn nature he liked the COM
pany of others.

thought OF using notebook or paper
with view to perpetuating those
yarns. Perish the thought! The
table held other things equally per-
ishable. Those wonderful tales are
gone. Only the memory OF a man
remains. Only those close friends,
men in widely different walks of
life, now realize what that loss
means to contemporaneous history.

S|LzER GOES
FOR SHORT REST
Is at Atlantic City, Wires Re-
gretS to futile Who Quit
Governor Race

Judge George S. Silzer, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor. left
his home in Metuchen, Tuesday
morning for a short rest in Atlantic
City. While he has beer r~egaining
his strength he is still a GONZALES
cen from his recent serious Illness,
and his friends regretted the fact
that Commissioner Tuttle's with
drawal should have come at a time
when they hoped the judge would
be able to free himself for a short
period from cares of his office as
wei. as from the demands of his
candidacy.
Judge Silzer telegraphed his head
quarters as follows. yesterday:
ut is regrettable that Mr.. futile
is compelled by illness to withdraw
from the gubernatorial race. We are
old friends, and he has my best
wishes for a speedy and permanent
recovery. Commissioner futile was
a fair, a generous and a worthy ad-
Versary."
There was issued today from the
New Brunswick headquarters OF
Judge George S. Silzer, Democratic
candidate for governor, a pamphlet
in which the progressive and indie
pe1ueHI career VI the Judge WHlle IL
senator in Trenton, from 1907 to
1912. is outlined, with extracts from
Republican and Independent news
papers showing the remarkably ia
vorable opinion expressed of his
public acts at that time. Since 1912
SilZer has been out of politics. He
was for two years prosecutor OF
Middlesex county. In 1914 he was
made judge of the circuit court, and
slncc then has been trying import
ant cases in the circuit and supreme
courts.
Judging by the last page of the
pamphlet, the heading of which is
that George S. Silzer Pledges Him
self" the judge is still a progress
sive, and has grown more indepen-
dent through the growth and de-
velopment of his character while a
judge on the bench, dealing "Jer-
sey Justice"
The statement is significant for the
apparent determination of the judge
to inaugurate reforms tending to
greater economy and the control of
expenditure of public money. The
judge also suggests the possibility of
bringing about as soon as possible a
return of the 5 cent trolley fare. He
again indicates his belief in the i'm
portanee of giving to the people, by
lawful method, the right to use light
wines and Deer.

STATE BONUS
IS Ab0UTP PAID
Few Suspended Claims to be
Heard ACTION Now With
Adjutant General

TRENTON, Sept. THE Soldiers
Bonus Commission, having practi-
cally completed its work of paying
the bonus, except as to suspended
claims, the State House Commission
has decided to turn over all subse-
qCent work of the commission to the
adjutant general. This means a dis
continuance of the present clerical
force of the commission, though the
adjutant general himself a member
o. the body, is authorized to con-
tirue in employment such clerical
help as may be absolutely necessary
for a speedy completion of the work.
The bonus commission has re-
ceived a total of 10000 .applica-
items, according to figures obtained
from the state comptroller, of which
1921 have been suspended awaiting
administrative action. OF this lat
ter number. 1851 await substantial
ton of residence and 80 await data
from the adjutant general of the
army and the bureau of navigation.
1t is quite probable that about SO
per cent of the suspended applica-
items will be disapproved eventually.
The total number of claims reject
ed as having been filed after March
16. last. the final date for applica-
tons. was SIS. In addition 53S
Claims were rejected for the follow
ing reasons:
Alien enemies, 12; civilian employ
ment. As; non-residents of the state,
ESQ; non-dependent, So Chat is for
the application of the bonus of a de-
ceased soldier); non-active duty, 80:
dishonorably discharged, 81; enlisted
after November IL, 1918, Armistice
Day, 13; and non-active duty with
the United States forces, 2.
Both the bonus commission and
the State House commission are de-
sirous of expressing sincere appre-
citation to the members of the Amer
lean Legion, Veterans of Foreign
wars American Red Cross and other
organizations who assisted in the
distribution of the bonus. Each
claim averaged 500. the maximum
being 800. figured on a basis of $40
per month of active service. The
money, $4,000, 900, was raised by
sanction of the people by bonds. The
amount yet left unexpended cannot
be determined here in the absence
of the deputy comptroller, Col.

AMERICANS COOPERATE
WITH LEAGUE OF NATIONS

GENEVA, Sept. 7.-While the
United States government has con-
sistently> ~refrained from identifying
itself directly with the League of
Nations, it has not held aloof from
having its citizens cooperate in some
OF the Leagues activities. Five
prominent Americans are now asso-
! ciated with varying forms of the
Leagues work.
One of these is Professor John
Bassett Moore, who is a member of
the recently-created Permanent
Court of International Justice. An
other is DR.. George Ellery Hale. di-
rector of the famous observatory on
Mount Wilson, who has joined the
Com mittee of Intellectual Cooper
alton. A third we'll known American
is Mr.. Rupert Blue, assistant SER
geon-general of the United States
who is lending his valuable skill and
experience in public health mat
tiers to the Leagues Health Com
mittee.
Two other American executives in
the League are women, Mrs. Hamil-
ton Wright, one of the most valuable
members of the Leagues Opium
Commission, and DR.. Josephine
Baker, of the International Health
Cen mittee. Finally, on the various
technical and clerical staffs of the
s~ecretariat of the League there are
many Americans, men and women.
whose services are found extremely
valuable. In an effort further to
enlist Americas interest and sup
port in the League, an invitation
has been SEM to the Washington
government to appoint a represen-
tative in the Leagues Commission
for the Suppression of the White
Slave Traffic.
Sir Eric Drummond. secretary
general of the League of Nations, is
hopeful that it will be possible for
the League to work out a policy
whereby the United States properly
can cooperate in an increasing share
of the Leagues activities without
impairment to her own traditional
policy of detachment from Euro
mean affairs.

GOMPERS DENOUNCES
STRIKE INJUNCTION
Likens Attorney-GeneroI to a
Thief in the Night.

BUFFALO, N. y, Sept. 2a.--Samuel
Gompers. president of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, denounced Judge Will
kerson's injunction against striking rail-
road shopmen IN an address which he
made before striking street car men OF
Buffalo.
Now we find" he said. "the Attor-
ney- General of The United States, Harry
Daugherty, who. like thief In the night.
proceeded to Chicago and from pet
lawyer who was but recently made a
judge obtained an Injunction against the
striking railroad shopmen In direct vio-
lation Of the laws OF the United States.
The injunction does not accuse the
railroad shopmen OF committing any
crime. They struck against reduction
OF wages and they never had show
before the United States Railroad Labor
Board. but still Wilkerson declares that
their strike Is Illegal and q conspiracy.
II hold that In principle and right an
injunction cannot be issued and should
not be issued for the prevention OF crime
Under this injunction II a railroad shop
man committed murder would he be
hailed into court on the murder charge
or would he face a charge of contempt
OF court for violating the injunction?"

LONDON FEARS TROUBLE
OVER GREEKS IN THRACE
Sees Difficult Problem Facing
Allied Diplomacy.

LONDON. Sept. % Associated Press)
The agreement of the Allies on the
political side OF the Near Eastern prob
lem leaves the general situation much
clearer and transfers the interest TO the
Dardanelles.
Two OF the greatest difficulties present
ing themselves at the present moment
appear to be, first, that the Kemalists,
while disposed to accept the allied invi-
tation to a conference, are likely to in
sist that Russia also shall be invited to
sit in-this conference. and, second, that
they are not disposed to suspend hostil-
tiles during the conference. but, on the
contrary, maintain their right to pursue
the defeated Greeks into Thrace and
protect the Moslems there from possible
Greek reprisals.
With regard to the former condition it
is pointed out that the kemalists are
bound by treaty with the Soviet to insist
upon the presence of Russia in the con-
ference. 1t is therefore evident that this
question and the question of getting the
Greeks out of rhrace still present diff
ficult problems for allied diplomacy.
According to a statement by Major
Gen. Sir Charles Townshend kemal has
no desire to fight Great Britain. Gen.
Townshend says that Kemal Pasha has

ATTACK FEDERAL BOARD

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. Sept. "a.
The professional prohibitionists of the
Anti-Saloon League and similar organ
izations have begun to obtain commit
ments from Senate and House members
for legislation forbiddlng sale OF irtcxi-
eating liquor aboard American ships.
The issue Is being agitated anew in
ali Congressional districts in the hope
that pledges may be obtained from mem
bers of Congress for such legislation
when the ship subsidy question comes
up at the extraordinary session of Con-
gress November Is.
When the fact became known early
last June that ships flying the American
flag maintained bars at which intoxi-
cants were being sold, the only way Sea-
ators and Representatives could be APP
preached was In Washington by the lob
byists of the prohibition organizations.
Now it is the dry program to reach them
at home.
The Board Of Temperance, Prohibition
Episcopal Church, with headquarters in
Washington. Is helping in the campaign
and the weekly ''clip sheet" of the or
ganization contains an editorial headed
AN Open Sore." which says:
IF alcoholic liquor is still being sold
on Shii ping Board vessels as is COM
monty reported. the fact constitutes an
open sore which should receive the i'm
mediate attention of the American peo-
pie.
"The President should personally In
tervene and stop 1t as he could do so
with the stroke of his pen. The conten-
tion that there is any doubt as TO the
meaning of the law is nothing but abys-
NAL rot. Either these ships are Ameri-
can territory or they are not. If they
are not American territory, what terri
tory are they?
ITO ask for subsidy for these saloons
is naive indeed. 1t is effrontery. 1t is
insult added to injury. The Shipping
Board has been out of sympathy with
the American people on this question
since the beginning. Certainly no effl-
cheney would be lost by reconstituting 1t.
The good men of the Board have had
their hands tied. IT has thrown away
money by the hundreds of millions. prac-
tically giving away propertyspaid for by
the taxes OF hard working American
citizens. 1t should be shot TO pieces
now
The programme of the dry organiza-
tions calls for fighting the Presidents
ship subsidy measure unless II contains
a provision that none of the ships TO be
provided shall sell intoxicants. This has
been one of the reasons the measure has
not passed Congress before but the issue
will flare up again when the Administra-
tion throws it's full weight behind the
subsidy bill after election.

PARIS PAPERS PLEASED
OVER NOTE TO TURKS
Sees Success for the General
Cause of Peace.

PARIS, Sept. 24.--"Not only success for
the policy which France and Italy have
not ceased to practice in that particu-
larly dangerous domain the Orient, but
success for the general cause of peace
says the Temps, which concludes that
Frances peaceful methods have shown
themselves to be surer and more ef-
ficient in dealing with the Turkish ques-
ton than the methods of force lauded by
Premier Lloyd George.
The Temps expressed surprise at the
British Prime Minister'S statement OF
yesterday and contends that his words
are in considerable contrast to the invi-
tation signed by Lord Curzon.
The Journal des Debdts is of the
opinion that if definite peace is made on
the lines proposed yesterday Turkey will
be stronger than in 1914, stronger even
than after the Balkan wars
The newspapers generally emphasize
the proposed conference at Venice. which
is gratifying to the Turk, who is flat
tered by an invitation to join the League
OF Nations. Another satisfactory feature
of the meeting in Paris was the friendly
spirit manifested by Italy to France. but
IL is agreed that no plans for a bedrock
peace settlement can be completed until
the conference at Venice starts.

BELGIUM TO CONVOkE
CONFERENCE ON DEBTS
Hopes to Be Assured That
America Will Participate.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Belgian Gov
ernment considers itself morally en-
gagged TO convoke n conference before
the end of the year to deal with the
whole problem of interallied debts and
reparations. though 1t has received no
official request to do so, the Brussels
correspondent of the Times asserts.
