Howard Earle Coffin, retired motors tycoon, bought Sapeloe 17 years ago and developed it the way other tycoons (Goulds, McAlpins, Rockefellers, Drexels, Fords, Carnegies, du Ponts, et al.) have developed Jekyl, St. Simon's and other Golden Islands.* He built a mansion Spanish in style, Southern in rambling scope. He cut bridle paths and motor roads and stocked his forest with pheasants, peacocks, wild turkeys, deer.. Quail, 'possum and waterfowl were there in natural abundance.

Cleverest perhaps of "Great Catherine's" maneuvers was to publish an imposing Parisian financial daily La Gazette du Franc et Des Nations, in which her bogus stock issues were gravely and "conservatively" analyzed and recommended. The pose of "American Methods" was played up to the limit in La Gazette, which from the first vigorously championed the Kellogg Pact Renouncing War (TIME, July 30) a document none too popular in France. During the last session of the League of Nations in Geneva, the Swindleress was dazzlingly present, offering and paying the unheard price of 25,000 francs ($975) for short...
