A soriea of articles sketchlnf the

haa been arrested on charge of hav

with money famished oy tne ucmu
rcTernment and of having need It fi
'or
(iermaas propafinda.)
By FRANK STOCKBRIDGE.
(Former Mans sing Editor of the Evening
- Mall.)
I do not think t law Dr. Rumely
after our late seision at the Union
League club in September, 1914, until
some time in January, 1915. We ex
changed occasional letters, but no ref
erence was made by either of us to the
conversation of that evening. I think
the letters were mainly devoted to dis-'
cussion of William Allen White's pro
posal that the "progressive; party
should get together, on the platform
of government ownership xf 'railroads,
concerning which. Ifr. 'White had
asked each of us, among rnny others,
to express an opinion. Nor did I hear
much or see many evidences of Ger
man propaganda, and as by this time
I had "become accustomed to ; Dr.
Rumely's , sudden , leap from onc
project! to another I concluded that
he had dropped the idea., In fact. I
rather flattered myself that I had con
verted him by pointing out ,the error
of his ways' ' n-
At Christmas time, 1914, 1 came east
for a brief holiday.' In New York I
dined with an old4friend who told me
he had been in negotiation with Henry
L. Stoddard for the purchase "of the
Everting Mail. -;. . , V
nVho is back of you? I asked. -
"A group of New York business
men," he replied."! don't think they
are going to get the money, together,
but I have at least got Stoddard to
admit that the paper is for sale. I am
telling you this because if the deal
goes through I shall be concerned in
the management and I want you as
sociated with me." . ' - -
I assured him that I would be glad
to go in jyith him if the matter came
to a Javorable issue,1 and returned to
Chicago. Not long afterward I had
a letter from him saying that the orig
inal deal had fatten through, but that
he had been approached by other in
terests who wanted him to act for
them in the purchase and management
of the Mail. These interests, he said,
were directly financed by the German
government.
, . Warned Against German Aid,
"Poison 1 Keep off!" I wrote hhn.
Later I was informed that the persons
who represented the German govern
ment in this instance had approached
Mr. Stoddard through another medi
ary and had even met with a firm re
fusal to sell to German interests at
any price. Still later I learned of the
efforts'of another group, the "print
ers' and Publishers' association," I
think it was called, composed of
American citizens of German, birth,
who were trying to raise money
among people of their own kind with
which either to buy the MaiPor start
a new paper. Their plan fell through.
I was told, when they got to quarrel
ing among themselves as to which
one should get the Iron Cross. I do
not know that to be true I give it for
what if is worth. " . .
Then one day late in January or
earlv in Februarv. 1915. Dr. Rumely
again telephoned me' from Le Porte
to meet him at the Union League club
for dinner. ,
"I want to talk to you about some
thing I think will interest you very
much," he said, o
We had barely seated ourselves at
the dinner table when he ' pulled '' a
typewritten document out of his
pocket and handed it to me. . , .
"Read that," he said, "and tell me
what you think.of it." ,
I read the paper through carefully.
It was several pages long and out
lined in considerable detail a plan for
the purchase of a New York -news.

or suggestion of German purpose or
propaganda in the document It dealt
with the possibilities before a news
paper that should make itself the
leader in certain fields of news and
which should . develop . the class of
material known Jo newspaper men as
"features" along certain specified new
lines. It discussed the possibilities of
a syndicate to handle and distribute
these features to other newspapers.
There were plenty of figures in the
document and estimates of a highly
optimistic character to the profits
to be expected'. ,
Knew He Could Name Newspapers.
I folded the .paper and handed it
back to Dr. Rumely. ; .
.. "I can name the paper," I, said. .
"I cap't . tell you its name, but n
you guess right I will not say any
thing," he replied. ' i
"The Evening Mail,"' I ventured. He
smiled, but said nothing. '-.'
"What do you think of the scheme?"
he' asked, as we attacked our soup.
"That document was never drawn
up by a newspaper man," I replied.
"It is too much of a roseate dream'.
Money isn't made as easily as that in
the newspaper business. I am not fa
miliar with the Mail's present equip
ment, but the last I knew about its
plant it was totally inadequate to
carry out this projoct The syndicate
business isn't as easy as .this docu
ment would lead one , to believe,
cither. I'd like to know more about
the capital available and .how long
the -backers would be willing to spend
money, before expressing an opinion
on the general scheme.". ; - (
"I'll telKyou all about it," he said.
"You are rightln your guess. It is the
Evening Mail. This document , was
drawn up by S. S. McClure. You
know, he originated the newspaper
syndicate idea and made a great suc
cess of it. I have just been to New
York, and I can 'swing the deal with
a very small amount of capital; less
than a quarter of a million, 1 believe."
"Before we go any further, is the
money going to be furnished by the
kaiser or the Printers' and Publishers'
association?" I asked.
Denied He Had Hun Backing.
"Neither, he replied. "This is a
strictly legitimate business proposi
tionno propaganda , whatever con
nected with' it. - You know that I
have always been interested in the
newspaper business, and I am look
ing for something to get int6, where I
can develop my idea ' , New York
seems to be the place for me. A
great New York newspaper could be
made a powerful leader of public
opinion all over the country. We
have no newspaper of national circu
lation; the logical place for one is in
New York. With the aid of the syn
dicate it could shape the thoughts of
the whole country. "
"Not if you still want to shape peo
ple s tnougnts along tne pro-tjerman
lines we discussed last autumn," I ob
jected." "No, it would hot be a pro-German
paper at all,"- he said. "Both Mr.
McClure and myself are agreed that
there is room in New, York for a
neutral paper. All the New York
papers are pro-ally and violently anti
German. Here in Chicago the papers
are neutral, but New York is taking
this war very seriously. You know,
of course, that my sympathies are
with Germany; perhaps yon don't
know that Mr. McClure is personally
pro-British. He 13 a north of Ireland
Protestant, you know." 1
"It would be an interesting experi
ment." I commented. , "I don't ber
lieve it wbuld last.very long, but there
might be a good deal of fun while it
lasted." '- '.. V v;v
"Mr. McClure will be actively asso
ciated with me in the management,"
Dr. Rumely continued. "He will con
trol the paper's editorial policies and
direct the development of the syndi
cate. But, Mr. McClure is not a prac
tical newspaper man, and neitheram

Clure suggested that you would be a

I was greatly surprised, and said so.
"The last time I saw Mr. McClure we
disagreed, so violently that I was sure
I was permanently in his bad graces,"
said. And you certainly must be
aware that I have no sympathy what
ever with your point of view on the
war." ' , . " . .
That is one of the reasons we want
you with us because you do not hesi
tate to say what you believe and stand
by your convictions," said the doctor.

THIS is the answer to insistent demand for "practical"

piling up "Better Than Average Mileage" for motorists of
America.
. Diamonds cost less than motorists usually pay for
other tires. - .
Figging lower iniu cost and bigger mileage, we feel
safe in estimating an average saving for - motorists who use
Diamonds between $2 and $5 per tire-
Or a total saving between $4,000,000 arid $10,000,000
on tire equipment that must be credited to Diamonds this year.
v If, by using first quality materials and infinite carg m
making our tires, and by marketing them at a' fair price, we
can save such a sum for motorists of America, we cannot but
feel that we are helping the nation in these strenuous times.
