MAGAZINE ~WRITER SAYS Silas Bent . Inâ€"Scribners‘ Gives Opinion That His Name Was _ Used Only For Effect ; Not Author That Charles G. Dawes was only a figurehead for the reparations plan which bears his name is the assertion made by Silas Bent in an article in the Necember Scribner‘s %;im‘ Mr. Bent, under the title o Souls at War in General Dawes," supports the idea that the viceâ€"president in his poâ€" litical life is a "caricature of the real man." He made great political capiâ€" tal out of his part in the reparations settlement, the writer says. Conâ€" cerning his selection for the post, Mr. Bent shows why Dawes was selected instead of J. P. Morgan or some other international banker. _ _ "It would be wiser, as a matter of politics, to select some ong from outâ€" side New York," ‘he . asserts. "It wasn‘t necessary that he_be qualified in technical knowledge, for Europe had plenty of experts. Would Generâ€" al Dawes do? Assuredly! He had a great reputation as a goâ€"getter and a fireâ€"uut:d‘.luu the man!

But between commercial banking and international finance there is qs much difference as between a sewingâ€"machine and geared turbines. The American members of the Reparations Commission, as a fact, were not there to heip build a machinery ef collection and transfer; but for the moral effect. They were a ‘front‘ for the conference. The actual planning was almost all done by Sir Josiah Stamp; but does any one suppose that France could have supported a scheme. if the French populace had known that a Britisher hadâ€"cooked it up? No French cabiâ€" net, publicly counterancing â€" such a thing, could hope to survive. The Americans were there as a cloak, to lend a neutral, disinterested air‘ of supervision; and to heighten this deâ€" lusion Mr. Dawes was made chairman of the whole commission.

Fred Brown of Waukegan Slated for Chief, Report; Others Tentative . Fred "Buster" Brown of Waukegan is slated for the office of chief deputy, according to reports from Waukegan, and the selection of the balance of the force, while most have been decided upon, depends on the acceptance or refusal of those invited to take up the work, it is said. Thomas Tyrrell, former chief of police; has been offerâ€" od the post of day turnkey but has not yet accepted it. Elmer Hudson, the only member of the present force to be carried over, will hold down the job of night turnkey. * Doolittle went out to Newport toâ€" day to offier a position of deputy to Ameet Kastings and if he accepts he will be the bailiff in the county court. H. A. "Hub" Doolittle, former mayor of Wilson, father of the new sheriff and former deputy under Elmer J. Green and Elvan J. Griffin, will be bailiff in the circuit court. Charles Krueger of lalf Day appears to be a certain selection for deputy while the seventh officer will be selected from Liberty and will probably be the choice of City Marshal Dennis Limâ€" Sheriff Ahistrom has invited Sherâ€" iff Doolittle to come into the office and get acquainted with the workings of the job before he takes over the position on January 6. He has inâ€" spected the autos and other equipâ€" ment that goes with the office and is getting thoroughly familiar with the job. 1 Mrs. Doolittle is inspecting the livâ€" ing quarters and kitchen at the counâ€" ty jail, preparatory to relieving Mrs. Ahistrom of the care of the prisonâ€" ers, The Ahistroms have their living: quarters torn up, m are ready to move to their home on Stewart aveâ€" nue. 10 ‘The principal fur bearers in this eountry, xays the Biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, are the muskrat, akunk, raccoon, opossum,â€"mink, marten, fox, otter, fisher, and beaver.
