(During the Past Week the Daily Press Gave Extensive Publicity to the Following Men and Women. Let Each Explain to You Why His Name Appeared in the Headlines"

Queen Elizabeth of Belgium: "People in Brussels are saying that I and my boy Leopold, Crown Prince, will lose a brilliant golf partner when U. S. Ambassador Henry Prather Fletcher is transferred down to Italy."

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt (Alice Gwynne), largest individual taxpayer in Newport: "I wrote a letter to the Mayor of Newport protesting against the proposed Dempsey-Wills boxing bout to be held there next summer. Said I: 'I strongly disapprove of the project. I feel that it would not tend to the improvement nor advancement of the city.' "

Luis Angel Firpo, "Pampas bull": "Under my signature in The New York World, I wrote that on the 14th of September [the night I fought Dempsey] I was not even in condition to face a sick cat.'"

Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to the late Woodrow Wilson: "I made a speech at a Woodrow Wilson memorial service in Brooklyn. Said I: 'They called him cold when he was only shy. They called him austere when he was only gentle. Those who execrated Woodrow Wilson, who cried "Crucify, Crucify," those who knocked, knocked at the door of his sick room, spying upon a weary President, pursuing him like a deer set upon by snarling hounds, are now in the shadow of disgrace.' Applause cut me short. Then I went on: 'Are resting under the blight and stigma of a Nation's shame and reproach'-- again I was interrupted by applause. It was Senator Fall, now the centre of the oil investigation, who visited President Wilson's bedroom during his illness as a member of the Senate Committee to learn whether Mr. Wilson's sickness had affected his mind."

Friedrich Ebert, President of Germany: "One Karl Klaffing, a factory worker of Kolditz, wrote me a letter announcing the arrival of a seventh son. Herr Klaffing recalled the custom of the onetime Kaiser, who volunteered to act as godfather whenever a seventh son was born. I wrote Klaffing a letter congratulating him, stating that I would gladly send the baby a little gift, but that I wished to be excused beyond that."

Samuel Goldwyn (real name, Samuel Goldfish): "The George H. Doran Co. published a book, Behind the Scenes, written by me. One John Anderson, a critic, wrote as follows in the Literary Review: 'Goldwyn has written one of the funniest books of the season, presumably without intending it.' Anderson cited the following as a particularly fine example of unconscious humor: 'If you can picture a flowering arbour and then picture the subsequent surprise of finding inside of it a perfectly good dynamo you will have conceived the full force of Miss [Geraldine] Farrar's personality. . . . Indeed the figure with which I started falls short of conveying the full effect of Miss Farrar's presence. ... If I had said, therefore, that the arbour concealed one of those marvelous implements that cut, thrash and sack the grain, all in a single operation, I should have come nearer the ideal description.' "

Morris Gest, producer of The Miracle: "In a pamphlet, entitled An American Protestant Protest against the Defilement of True Art by Roman Catholicism, I was accused of being an emissary of the Pope, an 'alien Judas Iscariot tool for Jesuitical propaganda.' Said I: 'I am proud of being a Jew, but I resent bitterly being described as a Judas. The Miracle is a work of art and not a religious propaganda,'"

Otto H. Kahn: "It was reported that I had engaged Miss Muriel Sharp to take the place of Lady Diana Manners, who is to retire from The Miracle. Miss Sharp is the young lady who, in April, 1923, created a sensation by suing Clendennin J. Ryan, son of Thomas Fortune Ryan, for $500 room rent."

Count Ludwig Salm von Hoog-straeten, Austrian nobleman who eloped recently with Miss Millicent Rogers of Manhattan: "The Chicago Tribune credited me with having made the following statement to 'an old friend' in the Ritz Hotel in Paris: 'Six months more of this and if Mr. Rogers does not come through [with some money], I am going to get a divorce!'

Owen Wister, author of The Virginian and other novels: "I refused an appointment to handle funds to be collected in Philadelphia for German children. I gave as my reason the lavish expenditures by German profiteers 'conspicuous for their eating, their drinking and their jewels' which I had observed in expensive Swiss hotels. 'May I suggest,' said I, 'that before asking American help, you invite these German profiteers to look after their own flesh and blood. ... Perhaps you are not aware what is being taught about the War to German children in Prussianized schools, but you can hardly have forgotten the recent act of the German Embassy in Washington.'"

William C. Bruce, junior U. S. Senator from Maryland: "The Baltimore Sun printed a despatch to the effect that I had quit the Senate Chamber in a rage because of an attack on me by a Democratic colleague. In a letter to the Sun, I said: 'Your correspondent should have stated that I left the Senate Chamber because I was hungry, not angry. ... As I left the Chamber at a time when Senator Caraway was making some characteristic observations upon my speech, it is, perhaps, not strange that your Washington representative should have jumped to the conclusion that I left it angry. ... I went off to the Senate restaurant in a state of absolutely unruffled composure. When I am angry it is not my back but my face that I am in the habit of presenting to him who has angered me.'"

George Bernard Shaw: "During a five-night performance in London of my Back to Methuselah, I became angry with my audience 'because they showed signs of exhaustion.' It was reported I showed 'decided pique,' called the public 'mental cripples,' the critics 'quite insane.' Said I: 'If I felt like it, I would write a play that would take a month to perform. Why shouldn't I? ... It is absurd to treat me as though I were a gutter snipe.' "

William H. Thompson, onetime Mayor of Chicago: "In connection with the incorporation at Springfield, Ill., of the South Sea Research Co., I arranged to send to the South Sea Isles an expedition to take motion pictures. Said I: 'There are many millions of persons interested in fish. .... I have strong reasons to believe that in the South Sea Islands there are fish that come out of the water, can live on land, will jump three feet to catch a grasshopper and actually climb trees. And I figure that pictures of fish climbing trees ought to be profitable.'"

William J. Bryan: "Arthur Brisbane, Hearst editor, visited me at my Palm Beach home. Later he wrote as follows: 'To W. R. Hearst and his other visitor Mr. Bryan gave one large cocoanut, much bigger than his head; one grapefruit, almost as 'big as his head, both from his own trees. He has seven kinds of fruit on the place, including oranges and lemons, also alligator pears and guava.' "

Sammy Bohne, second baseman of the Cincinnati National League baseball team, "only Jew in the major leagues": "In the Superior Court of San Francisco I filed application that my name, which is really Cohen, be changed to Bohne by legal edict."

Ralph Adams Cram, famed architect: "I proposed the erection of a suitable memorial on the Princeton campus to the onetime President of Princeton, Woodrow Wilson, 79. Also, memorials to James Madison, Class of 1771, and John Witherspoon, President of Princeton, 1768-1794."
