The door slammed behind the men.
Elsie helped Mrs. somervilIe to chair.
Then she turned to Tsobel and said
gently:

Courtenay did not experience the
least fear of death. Emotion of any
sort was already dead in him. He
found himself wondering If an unex-
pectedly strong current setting to the
southeast had not upset his reckoning,
If there were any broken limbs among
the occupants Of the salon. If Elsie
had been injured by being thrown
down into his cabin. He looked at his

herself more comfortably. The deck

GERMANS DISCUSS
WAR POSSIBILITIES
UNDER FAVORABLE CONDITIONS
COULD DICTATE TERMS
OF PEACE.

Berlin, Nov. 26.-German military
critics have contributed their opin-
ions to the various newspapers con-
corning the recent speech in the
British house of lords, by Field Mar
shall Lorn Roberts in which the speak
er expressed fears of a possible Ger
man invasion of England. In every in
stance they deprecated the idea of
war, but the possibility of such an in
vasion is not excluded, particularly in
the event of the greater portion Of
the British fleet being engaged at q
point distant from that selected for
landing. The Tageblatt publishes an
interview with an anonymous person,
described as a high military author
ity, whose judgment is that under ia
yprable circumstances Germany could
land a sufficiently strong invading
force in England to enable her to die
tate terms of peace.

AUTHOR OF PAID IN FULL IS
ENGAGED TO CHAR
LOTTE WALKER.

New York, Nov. pa New York
newspaper announces the engage
ment of Miss Charlotte Walker, the
actress, to Eugene Walter, the young
Cleveland newspaper man, who be-
came famous in a night last year as
the result of the production of his
play, Paid in Full.
incidentally Walter moved from a.
bench in Bryant park, where he admit
ted having slept many nights, to
palatial apartments in the ultra fash
ionable Ansonia.
Miss Walker, formerly leading wo-
man for James K Hackett and more
recently the star of The Warrens of
Virginia, obtained a divorce from her
first husband about a year ago.
For time, rumor had it that she
was to become the wife of James X
Hackett, following the divorcing of the
actor and Mary Mannering, but the
engagement never got beyond the
rumOr stage.
Another story had it that Miss Walk
er was to be starred by David Belasco
in The Easiest Way, Walters newest
play. Coincident with the announce
ment of the engagement, it was de-
clared Belasco had changed his mind
about starring Miss Walker in the
piece, and as a result the author and
the manager are ON the point of a
business break.
After admitting his engagement,
Walter said that following his mar
rage, which probably will take place
Immediately after the first production
of The Easiest Way, he and his wife
will go abroad for year.

Perth Amboy, N. j., Nov. 26.-Fol-
lowing a pitched battle between 700
strikers and ~ deputies yesterday at
the factory of the National Fire
proofng company, at Keasbey, near
here, in which six strikers were shot
down, Governor Fort despatched four
companies of state troops at Trenton
to the scene, and last night the
streets were patrolled by soldiers.
Intense excitement prevails, as the
strikers declared that the deputy sher-

them. Two of the wounded men are
dying in hospital here and four 9TH

Citizens fear for today, when the
strikers threaten to renew the at
tack on the plant OF the National

troops to Keasbey, and this may lead
to further trouble, it is said.
