however, accounts differ. Accord
ing to Miss Nicolay, this is what
happened:
During the battle Of Mukden
note was sent to Gen. Mac
Arthur from the Japanese command
er. Would he please remove his son
from the danger zone and order
him to stay in safety? Macarthur
was mystif1ed. He knew Douglas
had left headquarters, but supposed
it was only to find better position
from which to observe the battle.
That had indeed been the case, but
what he saw from his point of
vantage was too much for his emo
tons and, yielding to his Unborn
instinct to get into a fight, he went
into tho thick of it.
HE had seen Japanese soldiers
storm certain hill six times only
to be repulsed. Then he saw some
thing else-another route by which
the top might be reached and, for
getful of all else, he had rushed
across the intervening territory re-
CARELESS of personal danger, infused
new spirit into the sadly weakened
japanese company, and led it to
victory-not because of any sudden
yelling of love for the Japanese, but
from an instructive desire to rectify
a military blunder''
While the successive motives at
tributed to the hero are contradic-
tory, the action which he is supposed
to have taken is clear-that is. If
one admits the possibility of q,
strange foreign officer 'infusing new
spirit" into group of soldiers under
the noses of their own commanders.
Another recent writer. however, dis
counts the mere military zeal, and
attributes the bold MacArthurian
charge to admiration for Japanese
courage Still another writer denies
that the episode took place at all,
and says that 1t. Macarthur did
not even arrive at the scene until
the war was over.
Inasmuch as the point has thus
been conspicuously raised, the re-
viewer suggests that it might well
be settled with some definiteness
On the face of it, it would seem that
for an officer of a neutral country
to take an active part in a war
which he was supposed merely to
observe was distinctly irregular. But
the first consideration involved is
that of accuracy. The facts, after
all, do not lie so far back in time as
to present any real reason for the
obscurity.
Incidentally. the passage quoted
gives an. adequate idea of Miss
Nicolay's style and approach to her

MeAfee, Life-Termer,
Found Of Unsound Mind

William Major McAfee. 66-vear-
Old colored janitor serving a life
term for the murder of Henrietta
B. Anderson, 36, in 1887, was Judged
OF unsound mind by District Court
jury yesterday and was committed
TO st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Twice convicted of second degree
murder and sentenced to die in the
electric chair, McAfee was ordered
to serve life Imprisonment when
President Roosevelt commuted his
sentence in August of 1910.
The prisoner, formerly a trustv
at Lorton Reformatory. had been
under observation recently at Gal
llnger Hospital when the Govern
ment ordered sanity hearing. The
hearing was held before Justice
Jesse G. Adkins.
McAfee'S case, one of the longest
In recent years, was brought to the
attention of the President after the
defendant had received more than
20 stays Of execution over a period
of three years. The case twice went
to the United States Court of Ap-
peals and once to the Supreme
Court.
MISS Anderson, q hat check girl
at local hotel, was found slain in
her apartment in the 1900 block of
l. street NV, where McAfee was
employed. A bloody furnace shaker
was found at her side.
