Not Mr. Lament's

The first sentence of a leading editorial of the Chicago Tribune began: " The New York Evening Post, owned by Mr. Thomas Lament of J. P. Morgan & Co., takes John McCutcheon [Chicago Tribune cartoonist] to task for a cartoon questioning the ability of American diplomacy," etc.

Thomas W. Lamont, after losing what was estimated as $1,000,000 on the Post, sold it over a year ago to a syndicate.
