ment over the scathing biographical
article on Newton d. Baker appear
ing in a new supplementary volume
of the Encyclopedia Britannica has
aroused friends of the former Sec
retary of War to make vigorous
protest to the editors Of the work
against what is regarded as a
sianderous Misrepresentation OF his
Scores of letters from eminent
men associated with Mr.. Baker dur
ing the war or familiar with his
public life, some of them politically
or otherwise unsympathetic toward
him, have reached his former sec
retary, Ralph Hays, now an Off
cial of the Motion-Picture producers
and Distributors of America, ex'
pressing indignation. Several OF the
writers have also protested to Hugh
Chisholm, of London, editor-in-chief,
and Franklin II. Hooper, New York
editor, asking for revisions.
Decline to Change 1t.
So far the editors have declined
to make any changes. The article
is of less than 200 words-contrast-
ing with one in the next column
devoted to Arthur James Balfour,
which is ten times as long-and
begins by referring to Mr.. Baker
as an American politician" After
bare recital of the leading facts
and dates in Mr.. Bakers life, the
article relates his war record as
follows:
After the outbreak Of the world
war he indorsed the Admlnistr1
tons peace policy, supported the
League to Enforce Peace, and
urged that the National Guard
be tried fully before compulsory
service be decided upon. After
America entered the war he RECON-
mended moderation toward con-
scientious directors and forbade
men in uniform to interfere with
anti-ccnscription meetings.
Says He "Was Condemned"
The charge of pacifism was often
brought against him, and his ca
reer generally as Secretary was
widely condemned throughout the
United States as lacking in en-
ergy, foresight and ability, and es-
pecially for his failure to prepare
adequately in the months imme-
diately preceding the American
delacartion of war.

CHAPTER XI-SECTION l.
Francis Sheehy SkeffingtOn.


Collins Discrimination to dwell on
Instances Of cruelty practiced by the
British armed forces in Ireland led
to my making independent inquiries.
Quickly learned in a general way
Of the murder of Francis Sheehy
Skeffington at Portobello Barracks,
April 10, 1916. by firing squad Of
seven men under the command Of
Capt. j. c. Bowen, Colthurst Royal
Irish Rifles.
1t seemed to, be the one instance
that came to every Irishman's mind
when asked for authenticity of bru-
tality. The murder and a British
court.martial finding Colthurst
guilty but insane were extensively
commented upon by the world press,
but the real story has never been
published.
l obtained the story from Skeff-
ingtons widow, a unique figure in
Ireland today, in that she is the only
woman whose husband went to a
martyrs grave who does not wear
mourning and who never tried to be
elected to Dali Eireann. 1t seems to
me to merit inclusion in these pages,
il only because 1t is. indirectly an
other testimonial to Collins genius
for helping others to outwit the
British secret service.
Collins HandiwOrk.
Behind Mrs. Skeffingtons reticence
regarding her escape from Ireland
and her trip to America by means of
a counterfeit passport, there is the
plain stamp of Collins handiwork.
1t was Collins who smuggled Mrs.
Skeffington out of the country and
back again. In great part the facts
Is told me by Mrs. Skeffington are
verified by the official records Of the
Royal Commission of Inquiry, set up
by the command, of the King in
August, 1916, at the Four Courts in
Dublin. Mrs. Skeffington began:
MY husband was an anti-mili.
tarist, a fighting pacifist, a man
gentle and kindly even to his bitter
est opponents, who always ranged
himself on the side Of the weak
against the strong, whether the
struggle was one of class. sex. or
race domination. Together with his
strone fighting spirit he had a mar
velous and inexhaustible good hu-
NOR, a keen JOY of life, a great faith
In humanity, and a hope in the prog
ress toward good.
Sentenced to Prison.
Several months prior to the Eas-
ter week rising, my husband was
sentenced to one years imprison-
ment Tor making a speech calculated
to prejudice recruiting. He went on
a hunger strike and was out in six
days with a license under the Cat
and Mouse act. Shortly after his re-
lease he went to the United States,
where in February, 1918. Century
Magazine published his article en-
titled, "A Forgotten Small Nation
atty
Although as a Socialist and Paci-
fist he was opposed to all militarism
even Irish-his great sympathy for
and belief in the general movement
for Irish freedom led him to return
to Ireland, where he believed he was
most needed. He felt the British
authorities realized perfectly-as, of
course, they did-that he was reso-
lutely opposed to- the use of force,

Open AnimOsity.
when the Easter week rising
took place. Colthurst was stationed
with the Third Royal Irish Rifles
in Portobello Barracks. The bat
talion's commanding officer. Colonel
McCammond, was absent on sick
leave. Captain Colthurst, although
not the equal in rank to Major Ros-
borough, was the senior officer in
point of service, and. according to
all the evidence, considered himself
at liberty to ignore his brother
officers.
IF this statement seems incredible
to persons who have implicit faith
in the unvarying discipline enforced
in all units of the British army, let
1t be remembered that what / have
just said was stated by a British
officer at Colthurst's court-mart
Moreover, Ii is easy to prove that
there was open animosity between
all the Irish regiments as regards
those recruited in. the northeast and
in the south Of Ireland. Although
they all wore the British uniform
and served the same King. they were
bitterly hostile to one another. Be
tween the Royal Irish Rifles. for
instance, and the Dublin Fusiliers
there was constant friction. The
former was an Orange regiment from
Belfast.
Appealed to Captain.
Through my family's connection
with the British military forces I
had become acquainted with Capt.
T. Wilson, then a dispatch rider in
the Dublin Fusiiiers. / appealed to
him, after rumors had reached me
that my husband was being held
prisoner in Portobello Barracks, to
go there and make inquiries. He
refused point t.blank, asking me II l
wanted him to go to his death. When
he realized l didn't understand the
situation, he explained he dared not

conditions affecting army discipline

week rising.
When the outbreak began on

near Dublin Castle. He learned
that a British officer had been
gravely wounded and was bleeding
to death on the cobblestones outside
the castle gate. My husband per.
suaded a bystander to go with him
to the rescue. Together they ran
across the square under a hail of
fire. Before they reached the spot,
however, some British troops rushed
out and dragged the wounded man
to cover inside the gate.

NEWEST PLANE
TUCkSUP WINGS

Machine, Operated on Bird
Principle, Acquired

By JOHN GOLDSTROM,
Universal Service.

A plane that tucks its toes up under
its body like bird and carries water
in its wings instead of a radiator
wiz be entered by the Navy in the
Detroit races next month.
These radical departures from gen
eral aircraft design are said to con-
tribute toward a speed Of better
than 200 miles an hour. A state.
ment today from the office of Pear
Admiral Moffett, chief of the Naval
Bureau OF Aeronautics, says:
The entire landing gear of the
Booth Racer will be retracted into
the fuselage once the plane is in the
air, so that only the wings and the
fuselage will present resistance to
the wind.
As a Bird. In Flight.
This follows the practice Of birds
in flight. The smaller birds draw up
their feet into their breast feathers
when in the air. Larger species
such as ducks and geese tuck their
feet under their tail feathers rather
than drag them through the air and
retard their speed.

le1t the ground, viii draw up The
wheels of the landing gear into the
body Of the plane"
The B-R incorporates another in
novation of a frankly experimental
character. This is the complete
of the radiator which all
engines have had. Aero.
nautical experts estimate that 20
per cent of the wind resistance Of
fered to the airplane in flight 10 due
to the necessityIof dragging a radia-
tor through the air.
The new plane represents a still
further step in aerodynamic refine
ment in the complete suppression Of
the structural bracing required by
the wings of biplane and the use
Of an internally braced monoplane

PARIS. Sept. ll.-Dr. serge
Veronoff has admitted to Universal
Service that he has extended his
gland experiments to attempts at
the rejuvenation of women.
DR.. Veronoff appeared at the sale
of "Bambousa," a lady chimpanzee
formerly from a circus, but he re-
tired after bidding $500 when the
monkey went to the animal trainer.
DIR. Veronoff was reported to have
declared that mo monkey gland

Today when I asked him why
he wanted to buy a female monkey,
DIR. Veronoff was very reticent,
but to my direct demand: Are
you experimenting on women?" he
replied:
"You may say that I am pur-
suing my experiments to their
natural end in the hope that my
discoveries will prove Of equal value
to both sexes"
To numerous appeals from
women DR.. Veronoff has not re.
piled as he declares he does not
wish to publish the results Of his
