CATTON’S COMMENT
1
. BY BRUCE CATTON ="
My, Bustace McWhuffle, the eminent international
banker, took the witness stand before the Senate
Munitions Committee and testified with great frank
ness. His words were ag follows:
“Yes, I am the man who financed the allied pow
ers in the World War, and I made a very good thing
out of it indeed.
“To begin with, 1 loaned the allieg enormous sums
of money. For making these loans, 1 collected the
customary banker’s commission—and if you don’t be
lieve that it wag a handsome one, 'l show you the
figures.
“Then I acted as purchasing agent for the spendinz
of the money thus loaned. In all, some three bil
linns;Were spent. For the spending of it I naturally
collected the customary agent's commisgsion—which,
like the other commission, was a handsome one.
“on top of that, I bought a $360,000,000 piece of
the factories from which these purchaseg were made,
So, naturally enough, I collected the dividends which
these purchases made possible, Need 1 say that they
too, were right handsome?
“0f course I believed heart and soul in the allied
cause. From the very first my partners and I were
determined to help the allied nations in every way
we could. That we were well paid for our attitude
is only incidental, :
“The work that we did built up an unparalleled
progperity in the United States. Every taipmer,
every worker, and every business man had a direct
interest in seeing the allied nations win the war—
for if they lost, this great burst of prosperity would
be paifully and swiftly deflated, although 1 might
add that my loans were safe enough.
"’éflt being the case, need I say that I never asked
the sAmerican government to go to war, back there
in the spring of 1917? Bless you, 1 didn’t need to.
“Somehow, all this money that was being tossed
around just sort of seeped into every compartment
of American life. When the pinch came there wasn't
any questions about what the government would do.
Money talks, without any prompting.”
Of course, Mr. McWhuffle is a character of the
imagination and nothing like the above discourse
was ever heard, for no international banker would
be as frank as Mr. McWhuffle; but if you read the
current dispatches from Washington carefully you
will_see that they are frank enough to give you a
pretty clear picture of the way in which we let our
neutrality collapse, 20 yearg ago.
We let ourselves become banker, granary, amnd
workshop for the allied nations. We sold tht:m ev
erything and anything they wanted to buy. In the
end,‘ naturally enough, we sold ourselves right down
sthe Triver.
Television Around Corner
+ It is exceedingly interesting to note that, the lab-
Yoratory obstacles in the way of television have finally
fi,b.en sremoved, and all that keeps us from enjoying
;this newest miracle of science on the same basis
*as the ordinary radio is a network of commercial
:fprbblems.
+ So the Federal Communications Commission re
“ports to Congress. It points out that equipment for
“extending the range of man’s sight to the same ex
.tent that his hearing has already been extended has
.now been perfected,
* Actual extension of large-scale television to the
"\Eprdina.ry home, however, must wait until the com
“plex commercial problemg involved are solved.
« This, really, is just another way of saying that we
“shall soon have television. For if anything is cer
ft;ln. it is that the American business community can
solve any kind of purely commercial problem you
“ean hand it.
© If the scientific hurdles have been passed, the
~others won’t stand in the way very long.

[ THE SO-CALLED DRAKE ESTATE
The American people, and we presume
that all other race, are like human
beings, are prone to fall for all kinds of
schemes, especially lotteries and mythical
estates. “Estates located in foreign coun
tries appeal to the interest of Americans
more than any other fraudulent plans for
separating them from their money, Our
people on all occasions are susceptible to
the fables of wise guys who make a busis
ness of creating schemes to arouse their
curiosity and influences them into forget.
ting the plan is impossible and purely a
fake. For a number of years, a man by
the name of Oscar Hartzell has robbed
more than 70,000 American people of!
their money on the belief that they were
related to Sir Francis Drake, of London,}
who died in 1596, leaving an enormous
estate in that city. It is alleged by the
cunning Hartzell that 80 acres in the
heart of London was owned by him and
remains to this day a part of his estate.
His alleged relatives, living in this coun
try, are called upon periodically by Hart
zell for contributions to carry on the legal
fight to recover their share of the estate.
These people invariably respond to the
call of Hartzell for amounts assessed,
such funds going into the coffers of the
organization of the Drake Estate, which
is sponsored and owned by Hartzell,
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser,
has from time to time warned the people
of America against being “boondoggled”
by this man, but to no avail. In comment
ing on the plan for recovering from a fic
ticious fortune, the Advertiser says:
“The affair began in 1921 when the
ringleader, Oscar Hartzell, claimed to
have found an heir to the estate of Sir
Francis Drake, who died in 1596. Drake,
before being knighted, had been a British
naval officer, privateersman and ex-:
plorer.
“Hartzell began writing for aid from‘
friends in his native lowa to get up a fund |
with, which to press his claims to the fic
titous fortune, having claimed the real
heir had invested authority in him.
“Later Hartzell was deported to the
United States and given enforced lodging
in Leavenworth, but his agents continued
to solicit funds. Authorities estimate that
some 70,000 individuals have paid well
over a million dollars in the hope of shar
ing in the estate.
“Hartzell and the agents painted fan
tastic pictures of the wealth that awaited
those who contributed. Not only was the
original estate, consisting of eighty acres
in the heart of London, to be divided, but
the accrued interest compounded semian
nually was to be distributed likewise. Ac
cording to the computations of the various
agents, all of the gold and silver in the
world really belonged to the estate.
“Officials who have been working on
the case declare that many of the victims
‘as well as those who were participating
‘in the soliciting still cling to a blind faith
in the original rascal, Hartzell. They re
fuse to believe he is in jail, and likewise
‘do not believe the official English pro
nouncement that there is no Drake estate
‘and that furthermore Sir Francis left no
sons. 1
“To many of the participants the fraud
has become an obsession that amounts to
a fanatical faith.”
The scheme is one of the most gigantic
frauds that has ever been perpetrated
upon a people. The newspapers of this
country have exposed it from time to time
during the past decade or longer, but
such publicity seems to have increased the|
number of victims.
FORMER ATHENIAN HONORED
The announcement of the election of
Walter W, Rose, former Athenian, but
now a citizen of Orlando, Florida, to the
presidency of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards will be received with
mnuch interest and pleasure on the part of
his friends here. Mr. Rose will be induct
ed into office on January 17 in Washing
ton, D. C., at which time the annual din
ner of the national association will be
given.
Since taking up his residence in Florida,
Mr. Rose has met with remarkable suc
cess. Entering the real estate, insurance,
bonds and stocks business his organiza
tion has grown to be one of the largest
in the southern states. As organizer and
promoter, he has developed some of the
most valuable real estate sections in south
Florida. In civiec and political circles in
that state, he has been a leader for a num
ber of years. At the present time he rep
resents his senatorial district in the gen
eral assembly of Florida, taking a leading
part in the proceedings of the last legis
lature, his name is being prominently
mentioned in connection with the guber
natorial election in the coming primary.
It is the concensus of opinion of those ac

Florida is that his entrance in the race
would prove successful, \
CLARKE COUNTY’S OFFICERS
A primary election for the nomination
of county officers has been called for
April 21. While no oppesition to any of
the present officers has developed, it is
to be hoped that these gentlemen will be
rnominated without a contest. '
There is not a county in the state that
has a more capable set of officers than
Clarke. Year after year, the auditor’s re
port and the presentments of the grand
juries have contained .strong endorse
ments for the services rendered by these
officers to the people and to the county.
While, of course, there are other citi
zens who could fill these offices with sat
isfaction to the public, yet there is no
good reason for changing officials who
have been faithful to every trust imposed
and rendered a satisfactory service as has
the officers of Clarke county, @ ;

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Dana Stanley, divorced from
her husband, Dr. Scott Stanley,
is making plans to marry rich
Donald Moore. Nancy, Dana’s
half-sister, is in love with
Donnie.
Dana had left her hsuband,
believing he was in love with
Paula Long. Scott thinks Da
na left him because he was
poor.
He becomes a partner of the
. town's outstanding physician,
Dr. Osborne.
Dr Osborne hears that Dana
and Ronnie are to be married
and telephones Scott, who is
out of the city.
Driving at breakneck speed,
Scott’s car crashes with an
other car. He is not injured
but he takes the injured occu
pant of the other c¢ar to the
city and prepares to operate.
He plsads with a fellow phys
ician to bring Dana 'to the
hospital.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLVI
} “Hang it all,” Dr. Robertson
thought. “Why didn’'t I think of
[the telephone before?’ He stepped
[mside a booth and dialed the
Cameron number. Dialed it twice,
He could hear the insistent buzz.
|Weren't the people at home? Wry
' didn’t somebody answer
' The telephone shattered the
’stil‘nesg at the Cameron home.
\Nancy heard it ringing. ‘Why
didn’'t Dana answer? It would be
Ronnie calling to say he was com
ing for her.
Nancy finally decided that Dana
did not intend to heed the call.
She stepped into the hall and lift
ed the receiver from the hook.
Some man, not Ronnie, was asking
for Dana.
l “Just a moment, please,” Nancy
said.
} With her hands over the mouth
;piece, Nancy called: “It's for you
' Dana.”
“Please take the message,” Dana
said from the door, where she was
securing the fastenings of her
dress.
Nancy said “Hello,” again, and
then there was a long silence.
Then Nancy faltered, “Of course.”
A queer uneasiness came over
Dana.
“Nancy,” she said, “something
has happened. Tell me, please Oh
Nancy, please, is it Scott?”
“Yes” Nancy said, “there's been
an accident. It was St. Armand’s
hospital calling.”
Dana’s face had been drained of
color, her lips twitched. Her eyes
lheld a pitiful horor. “The key to
the car,” she whispered.
“In the bowl on the hall table,”
Nancy said.
A moment later Dana brushed
by her. She was bareheaded, with
her coat on her arms.
Nancy stood still. She could hear
the car being backed down the
drive. She thought, “Gran must
have been absorbed not to recog
nize those rattles.” »
Gran would probably have tried
to stop her. But nothing could
have stopped Dana.
She thought of Dana’s colorless
face. Her own face was warm with
excitement. She had not told Dana
everything, that Scott was all
right. The doctor had explained
that Scott was operating on some
body who had been hurt in the
accident.
“Perhaps I should have told her,
She would have gone tough, any
way,” Nancy thoughnt.
The fact remained that she
‘hadn’t. She had sent Dana away,
suffering terribly, because she had
wanted to be sure she would go.
And Rofmie wash.coming. He
was due any minute now. 'l'horcl
fwu his ring. |
Nancy was trembling. ‘What
could she tell him? But some-
“FASTER! FASTER!”
body had to tell him something!
Her grandmother called, “It
must be Ronnie. It’s time for him.
Nancy, will you go to the door?
That new cook is so crude. Will
you entertain him a few minutes,
until—"
Grandmother’s voice had broken
in the middle of the sentence. Nat
urally, she was all excitéd over
getting Ronnie for a grandson.
“Yes, Grandmother,” Nancy an
swered mechanically.
The dining room door closed.
Behind it, grandmother would be
standing for a moment, pleased
and proud. When she heard Ron
nie's voice, she would go on with
‘her preparations, determined that
his first meal here would be prop
erly and beautiful served.
She didn’t know Ronnie wouldn’t
be here for dinner, And there
there wouldn't be any wedding
either.
She opened the front door, and
Ronnie came in. Ronnie, Nancy
saw, was looking sober, as though
he had already learned that he had
been deserted “at the altar” a¢
old-fashioned love stories always
put it.
“Hello, Nancy,” Ronnie spoke
awkwardly. He glanced about the
flower-filled hall. “Looks as
though somebody bhought out a flo
ral shop.”
“They came from cverywhere,”
Nancy said in a low, uncertain
voice. “I'm afraid it's not a se
cret—about you and Dana.”
_ “I'm afraid not,” Ronnie conced
ed, quietly, his eyes on a basket
filled with glowing roses.
Ronnie here! Dana at the hos
pital! What could be gained by
standing here, talking as though
Ronnie and Dana were going to be
married, when Dana had bolted,
gone rushing off to Scott at the
hospital.
Dana hadn’'t cared how Ronnie
felt. Hadn’'t given him a thought.
It had been exactly as though she
were still married to Scott.
Nancy said, desperately, *“Ron
nie, I've something—there’s some
thing T must tell you.”
“Go ahead, Nancy,” Ronnie said.
“Out with it”
| “Oh,* I can’'t Ronnie. It's too
terrible.”
“Never mind then, Ronnie's
voice was calm. “I think I can
guess. Dana doesn’'t want to go
through with it.”
“She was dressing,” Nancy spoke
in a low tone. “And then someone
called from the hospital. Scott had
been in an accident.”
“I'm sorry to hear that. Is he
hurt much?”
“No. It was the other man.”
“Oh,” Ronnie said repeating
Itonelessly. “the other man.”
Now was her opportynity, Nancy
knew. She should tell Ronnie that
Dana didn’t know it was the other
man who had been hurt. That
Dana had been frantic believing
Scott had been injured. And that
she had let Dana go with that
agony of fear in her heart.
But if she were coruageous
enough to tell him, Rognie would
be sure to miss the important fasé
| —that Dana had gone because it
was Secott she loved. No words
came from Nancy's stiff lips.
“That lets me out,” Ronnie said.
He shrugged his shoulders a lit
tle, and then straightened them.
" Nancy thought “Ronnie is being
brave. Ronnie is being awfully
brave. You would think he would
storm and look crushed and hope
less. Or humiliated, at any rate.”
l But though Ronnie’s mouth was
grim, Nancy’s seaching eyes fail
ed to find anything that resembled
humiliation or hopelessness. But
he must be feeling that way!
Ronnie walked toward the door
slowly. Very slowly. Nancy
couldn’t bear to see him go. If
there were only mfimm
could say to cheer him up.
‘it would cheer him up a bit to
know the truth about Dana rush
ing off so without leaving even a
message for him. Surely, she
should tell him. But no words
came.
Ronnie turned then, looked at
Nancy, and. came back—taking
both of her hands. “If you had
been ditched by a girl an hour or
so before you were to marry her,
Avhat would you do ” he asked in
a tense tone.
“Marry another girl, I guess,”
Nancy said.
“That’s what I've been think
ing,’ Ronnie said.
“You were!” Naney's voice was
breathless.
“Yes. Only I don’t know any.
girl who would marry me right
ort.”
“Anybody would,” Nancy said.
Ronnie smiled a little. “But I
don’'t know anyone who would.”
His hands tightened on hers.
There was a strange intensity in
his voice.
“There's—me!’” Nancy ecried.
I And then a wave of color washed
over her face. If her hands had
been free, she would have covered
/her face-inanagony of shame. She
had proposed to Ronnie . Thrown
herself right at his head. And now
he would turn her down gently and
firmly and she would never hold
up her head in life again.
Ronnie was saying in a queer!
voice, “That’s a mighty fine idea,
Nan. It's generous of you to try
to save my face. Your idea is
that tomorrow when Dana is back
with Scott and you and I are mar
ried, nobody will know what to
believe. They won't be able to
make up their minds—wondering
if Dana ditched me, or whether 1
fell in love with you and ditched
Dana. The honors will be about
evently divided. That's what you
were thinking, ¥ imagine.”
Nancy didn’t reply for a moment.
Rennie had it all figured out this
way. Maybe it would be best to
let him believe it. Then, if he
didn’t want to go ahead, he
wouidn’t feel so embarrassed about
saying so.
“Don’t think you have to marry
me, Ronnie, just because I sugges
ted it.”
Ronnie spoke almost cheerfully:
“‘l'm going to take you up on it,
Nancy. Can you leave at once?
Perhaps ycu could take along some
of Dana’s clothes. Hurry, will you?
I'm afraid we may have a hard
time selling the idea to your
grandmother.”
Nancy ran up the stairs. This
was a dream. A foolish dream. It
couldn’t be possible that Ronnie
was willing to marry her. Even
though he were only marrying her
to escape humiliation, it was stili
wonderful. :
It might be weak and cheap to
do this. But when the desire of
your heart was offered you, it
wouldn’'t be human not to accept
it.
Nancy found the traveling cases,
neatly packed, closed. Dana's new
hat was on the bed and her new
coat on a hanger. Dana had worn
her old coat. Somehow, Nancy felt
that had been intentional. Dana
hadn’t wanted to go to Scott in
clothes bought for her marriage to
another man.
With trembling fingers, Naney
put on the smart, small hat, slip
ped into the coat and quickly
made up her face.
She was going to be married. In
clothes that didn't belong to her.
To a man who had believed until
10 minutes ago that he was mat.
rying her sister. But nothing mat
tered. Her heart was leaping wild
ly, bhappily. Somehow, the lucky
star that had been so far away all
her lire was hovering over her to
night. ,
