A new bill authorizes the secre-
tary of the navy to contract for Krupp
armor at $545 a ton. In the naval
appropriation bill of last year, the
limit OF $400 ton was fixed upon the
price of armor No contracts could
be placed at that price. and the result
is that none of the three battleships
and three armored cruisers authorized
by last years bill have been contract
ed for. For the same reason the bat
tleships Wisconsin, Alabama and IL
linois, which should have been deliv-
cred to the government complete last
year, have been delayed, and their
builders are seeking redress from the
government for the loss incurred
through failure to supply the armor.
Under the new bill, the secretary's
authority to buy armor at s545 ton
applies to vessels before authorized
as well as those provided for in the
bill.

Secret-service expenditures of Great
Britain do not seem to have kept pace
with the spread of militarism. They
have been less of late than they were
at the beginning of the century. The
money voted to defray the charge of
her majesty's foreign and other secret
services" in 1884 hardly exceeded
800 900, and for the last few years has
averaged about s15o,000. Yet in 1920
$500 900 was appropriated for the pur-
pose and in 1914 and the year of Wa
terloo the vote was no less than $685.

The United States has recently con-
cluded several arrangements for ar
bitration. One is with Great Britain
and Germany to settle claims of
American, British and German resi-
dents in Samoa for property damages
during the disturbances last year. An
other. with Haiti. arises from the col
lection of tax which Is asserted to
have been illegal. There are. in all,
five such arbitrations agreed upon,
and sixth is pending The claims
which are the subject of these arbi-
trations are not of the kind which
usually lead to war. The friends of
peace throughout the world are urg-
ing that not only such civil suits as
these but national affronts and in
juries be referred to peaceful tri-
bunals and settled by them.

"Once, twice. thrice, four times have
ron conquered me! My curse upon you,
Harry Sutherland
And at the words, the young conquerof
sunk down among the corpses with scarce
more life than they, and 1t was weeks
and weeks, and the Sparrow Hawk had
sailed leagues on her homcward route
Ger he awakened from the stupor into
which this shock and horror had plunged
him.
Slow was Hamilton's recovery, tedious,
and oft interrupted, and when It was
complete, 30 far as II could be called com.
plcte, the surgeon pronounced, what the
patient felt beforehand, that II was but
for a time; and, at 11amilton's express
desire and cntrcaty, stated at last that
before the leaves, which were beginning
already to grow scrc on the woodland
shores which they were coasting, should
I've green In spring, he would sleep with
his fathers.
For long time Hamilton positively re-
fused to see Sutherland or speak with
him; but at length, when the young man,
suspecting the cause Of his obduracy.
opened his heart to the surgeon, IN so
far as he could do with propricty and
honor, and that functionary satisfied the
invalid that In the whole matter Of Car
lotta, Sutherland was indeed entirely
blamclcss, he began to see that he might
have been as much misinformcd and mis-
taken In other matters, and took time to
| consider.
When they met tears were In the eyes
Of both, and prayers on their tongues,
and perhaps both these for the first time
| with both.
Long explanations followed, and all
that had been dark was made light; and
much that had appeared black as night
with pcstilent guilt was allcvintcd, II not
made white as snow.
| The meeting between the brothers was
most affecting, hut both felt that God is
wiser than man. and that It was indeed
better for james Hamilton to die as he
did, before the leaves were green, in
pcnitcncc and peace; and when the world
knew that the wild, wicked James Ham.
ilton was one and the same with the
great Captain Manly, they forgot the
vices of the one In the glorics of the
other.
james Hamilton died before the leaves
were green, but not before he had given
his adopted daughter. Anna Hamilton

she was not the daughter of the good
man she had ever loved rs u father, Il
Sutherland, his slayer.
But none, not even William Hamilton
ever knew that It WIS the sword o.
Harry Sutherland which had led to tn,
disease that cut of his brother! and An
mn never was told the sad tale Of Car
lotta; nor yet the lamcntablc end Of thu
gifted yet pervcrsc Montgomery. Blu
these two were the only concealments
from that day forth, between Harry Suth

ways said that she was the happicst o
