(From the Chicago Tribune.) The Tribune was favored Tuesday with an interesting W Union dispatch, pre bly by the 1 ed The dispatch w: consisted of 4, fill about four n and cost the American ta hap: ) or $60. The dispatch was marked “release for Sunday paper.” It related the fact that Charles Piez, of Chicago, was to retire as director general and general manager of the United States shipping board and fleet corporatien on May 1. It also told that Mr. Piez would return to Chicago on that date and resume the presidency of the Link Belt Compa hich he left o build the emergency fleet. It also nnounced the fact that Mr. Pie: aid, Howard Coonley, would leave Uncle Sam's business on May 1 and return to Boston. The Enthusiastic P. A. How mi other newspapers in this exten: domain received the same dispatch is a matter on which {we are not advised. Probably many, for the treasury of our Uncle is deep and the press agent of the fleet corporation, like other press agents, from George Creel down is enthusi As a precursor of the 4,375 word telegram was another message to the Tribune heralding the approach of the longer one. Also there was by mail a collection of magnificently large and handsome photographs of Mr. Piez and Mr. Coonley. All this may of itself be of minor interest to our readers but it is corded here for the reason tha ies the zeal with which the enough to columns, rs per- ny it “pu- attached to our war ‘efforts in Washington spread the food tidings of their respective chiefs’ achievements when the lid ‘off the treasury in war and post war times. : That Elaborate Menu. Touching Mr. Piez, the volumin- bus dispatch, signed by J. W. Slaght of the fleet corporation’s information bureau, advises the public that Mr. Piez will be the guest of honor at ‘three dinners next week in Philadel- 'phia. Another. paragraph culled from the vast wealth of material Mr. Slaght wired on behalf of his chief is this: “An extraordinary tribute to the personality as well as to the business genius of Mr. Piez is found in the let- ‘ters and telegrams sent to him when . jon. , year frem + he was a brilliantly successful man t in Chicago, but the country at large | is had heard little of him. . .-.

Mr. Slaght digs back into Piez’s youth—we may assume, out the knowledge of Mr: Piez him- self—and gives up some hundreds of words via telegraph recounting his successes in Columbia University and then in business, from draftsman to president. Having disposed of Mr. Piez, Mr. Slaght, the genial publicity man, fresh as a daisy, has left 2,000 words to devote to Howard Coonley of Bos- ton, vice president in charge of ad- ministration of the fleet corporation. r. Mr. Coonley’s career had a romantic , tinge that grips Mr. Slaght’s soul. “Put a man down in the middle of a Texas prairie,” says the dispatch. “Let him alone for five years. If at the end of that time you find him jsurrounded by several thousand acres of dry farming and prosperity with; three towns sprouting and a railroad in full bloom—you will know that the man you picked was Howard Coonley. “Did you know,” he asks, “that it (the fleet corporation) is spending in good American gold from $3,000,- 000 to $10,000,000 every day?” Casper Loan Office Will save you money on your Wardrobe Trunk, Hand- bag, and Suitcases : : : Reliable Phone 804-J. 133 So.
