...search for concealed arms, undertaken some time ago by the Allied Military Control Mission, has admittedly become a farce. Everywhere the Allied inspectors have been received with studied politeness. Nowhere have they been able to find any trace of concealed arms or munitions. The Mission is satisfied that Germany is not prepared for war, that she has not materially contravened the armament clause of the Versailles Treaty...
...Coming of Jan" Walter D. Edmonds Jr. seems to be straining, whether consciously or not, for Hardy effects. Without the slightest trace of plagiarism his story echoes "The Three Strangers" and the fireside scene of "Tess", but the atmosphere is unmistakably theatrical. One must practice for years undoubtedly to acquire ease of manner, if it comes at all; yet there is a fundamental difference between such imitation as Mr. La Farge's where there seems to be a desire to express sincere experience, and that of this story, where the manner is made predominant by overdecoration with factitious similes...

Haled to the Herald-Tribune sanctum, Jarrell was questioned again. He stuck to his story, begged leave to bring substantiating evidence, left the office. The next mail brought a full confession that his "sea cabaret" was a myth. Sore at heart, the Herald-Tribune apologized to the public and to the other Manhattan newspapers; posted Sanford Jarrell's name on the bulletin board as "dishonorably dismissed...
