The cardinal. whose last visit to
America was made last year as papal

operation for a stomach disorder one
week ago. He was under the knife
for two and a half hours for the
removal of a tumor.
At first he seemed to be recover
ing. but on Tuesday night had a
slight setback. This was chiefly
due TO q windstorm which lashed

close all the windows in his apart
ment.
Throughout his illness, Cardinal
Caspari, papal secretary Of state who
is confined 20 his bed with a cold,
was kept informed OF developments.

caught the attention OF the American

Public Impression of
Pres. Harding

LEAvENWORTH, Kan, Nov. 2s.-
tR)-Announcing his most important
mission in life would be to correct
the erroneous impression the pub
lie has been given or President Hard
ing" Colonel Charles r. Forbes to-
day returned TO civilian life after
completing service on n two year
term In the federal penitentiary here.
The 49-year-old former director Of
the United States Veterans Bureau,
who was convicted in Chicago in
1926 Of defrauding the government
In awarding contracts for veterans
hospitals, was released at midnight.
Clad in a neat business suit, his
hat concealing his grey hair, he
emerged from the prison gate with
q firm step in marked contrast to his
entry. Rigorous application 70 his
profession Of civil engineering in
surveying penitentiary property and
even In welding a hammer and a

has restored him TO the health he
enjoyed in a long army career.
He paused only long enough to
issue long statement on his plans
for the future before entering an
automobile with a newspaper man Of
ST. Louis. They left Immediately for
that city.
His statement, dealing largely with
recommendation for handling pris-
oners in various types Of penal in
ssitutions, concluded with the an
nouncement he had startling facts
to reveal" relative to his connection
with the Harding administration.
In conclusion the statement said:

OF sycophants and calumniators

@Could he (Harding) defend him
