‘HELL AN 7 MARIA' DAWES AMERICAN ► ‘MAN DYNAMO’ Popularized Cussing in Capital —Had Charge of * War Supplies, By United Press CLEVELAND. Ohio. June 13. ■When Gen Charles G. Dave?-- name is mentioned, the word “hell” immediately pops into mind. The slight, energetic bundle of nerves, the human dynamo that foreigners like to picture all Americans, was the man who popularized “cussing” in Washington. Besides running a great metro-politaiv-bank. piloting the nation's national banking system, keeping America's Army in France fed and supplied, putting the Government on a business basis with a budget, and settling Europe’s financial ills, at various times in his career. Dawes immortalized the expletive—“ Hell an’ Maria”—and it is probable that this phrase, inextricably linked with his name, will survive where his other accomplishments perish. Born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1865, son of Gen. Rufus R. Dawes, young Charlie led the* usual boy’s life of those days, finally entering Marietta College, from which he received an A. B. degree at the early age of 19. Studied Law After an educational excursion c? two years to the Cincinnati Law School, from which he received an LL. 8., he returned to Marietta for another year, finally receiving his master’s degree, and there his “schooling” ended. Dawes was admitted to the Ohio bar after his Cincinnati study, but after his graduation from Marietta, he took his legal training West and entered practice at Lincoln, capital of Nebraska, where, for seven years, he doled out law to citizens of that thriving western city. At this time he met young Lieut. Jack Pershing, who was an instructor at the University of Nebraska. The East drew him back at the end of that period, however, and late in 1894 he abandoned law and went into the prosaic business of furnishing gas to the inhabitants of Evanston, 111. Subsequently he has, among other things, done the same service to citizens of La Crosse, Wis., and Seattle, Wash. A McKinley Boomer In Illinois he got his first firm toehold in politics in the preliminaries of the 1896 campaign when he hitched himself to the McKinley kite. He was an executive in the McKinley movement in that State, and after McKinley was nominated he became a member'of the executive *£top that Eczema/ AMAZING results have been produced by S. S.

committee of the Republican National committee during the campaign. k \ The Republican organization and McKinley were grateful to the 30-year-old dynamo, and when McKinley was installed in the White House in 1897, Dawes went along as Comptroller of the Currency, an extremely important post with the national banks expanding and the silver fight still hanging in the air.<'. For three years, Dawes applied himstelf to his job. but in 1892, he quit to go into business again, this time as president of the Central National Bank of Chicago, a post he held for fifteen years. Thereafter he made his home in Chicago. When war broke out, Dawes entered the Army, and was assigned to engineering corps with rank of major. In June, 1917. he was sent to France with the rank of lieuten-ant-colonel with the railway engineers. but three month# later he was attached to the administrative staff of General Pershing, as general purchasing agent of the American Expeditionary Forces. Dawes Cut Red Tape His talent for organization, his Impatience with red tape, his unerring thrust to the heart of a situation with a ready solution at hand, once again found full play. He passed through the ranks of colonel to brigadier-general. When the war ended, he was appointed to the Liquidation Commission of the Allies and efficiently disposed of the vast surplus stores of the Army to willing purchasers in European countries. When that task was over, he resigned from the Array aftd returned to Chicago, with the distinguished service medal, the Order of Leopold frtom Belgium, and cross of officer of the Legion of Honor from France. At that time the Graham committee in the House was investigating war expendiEures and there was a great todo' Over extravagance and waste. Dawes, as ex-purchasing agent, was called to give his testimony which, some of more partisan interests thought, might cast some reflection on the Democratic conduct of the war. “Hell an’ Maria,” shouted Dawes, as he passed up and down before the committee, answering some questions about obvious waste. | "we were fighting Germans over I there.” Thereafter it was “Hell an’ | Maria” Dawes. Cut Expenditures With President Harding at his back, Dawes commanded respect from all executive branches of the Government and kept them,within their scheduled expenditures. A year of it was enough, however. Dawes quit and went back to Chicago. Two years' 1 privacy was permitte,d him and then the reparations commission dragged him out again and made him chairman of the committees of exports to examine into | Germany’s capacity to pay reparai tions and recommend methods of | stabilizing Germany's currency. ! Three months’ work produced the I tesults, and Europe faced anew | financial era. j Dawes, though 59 this year, is | wiry, youthful and the typical Ameri- | can “human dynamo.” FORMER RESIDENT DEAD Superintendent of Eads Bridge, St. Louis, to Be Buried in Illinois.
