The trust company, in which Cukor was a director, it was admitted, was or- ganiged by Austro-Hungarians and was an agent of the Central Empires.

ALBANY, March 2&—Mayor Hy- Jan's L€unicipal Civil Service Com- mission is rating World War veterans at less than 100 on “American citizen- F Wap.” according to disclosures made at a recent hearing here.

No war allowance is made for service after the armistice. It 1s obvious that these rules would work to the detriment of a man who may have had a leg shot off and ob- tained an honorable discharge a few months after America entered the war. His citizenship rating would not begin to approach that of a man who held a bomb proof place on this side of the water during the entire war. The discrimination against the man who, after the armistice, con tinued to serve with the Army of Occupation in Germany is apparent. Only a very few men and no women of World War vetera Cukor.

Cameron of Argona char- acterized as “sheer, unadulterated, plain blackmail,” a suit filed against him by Edward T. McFarlin of New York, asking $100,000 damages for alienation of Mrs. MoFarlin’s affec- tions, Papers in the case, Senator Cam- eron’s statement said, were first filed in 1916, and, he sald, no effort at service on him was made until last week, “Now that have become a United States Senator,” said Mr. Cameron in his statement, “those behind thie ridiculous suit have evidently decided to attack me in the ‘hope of injuring me by giving widespread publicity to the absurd charges. [ am pre- pared to fight this suit with both fists fearlessly and in the open.” The statement said Senator Cam- eron had met Mrs, McFarlin once in the observation car of a train be- tween Chicago and San Francisco in 1912, before her marriage; had met her twice since and met her husband once.
