What sense IL there in his re-
turning?" came the angry question OF
the lord of the admiralty, as the Sec
retary bowed himself out Of the room.
HE doesn't even know, presume,
that Japan is already sending every
available ship she has against the
western coast of America as fast as
steam will carry it,"
Sending an invading fleet against
IN apparently passive country In some
part of which was the woman he
loved! This thought reiterated Itself
through Guys mind as he passed down
the corridor and out into the din and
movement Of the street. Where
could she be now. he wondered, and
what of her father? Insane, perhaps,
and incapable Of offering her protec-
tion of which she would stand so sadly
in need in case of Japanese success.
The words Of letter which he car
ried in his pocket, and which to him
was of more Importance than the dis
patches he delivered, constantly re-

such should be our case, l pray that
you will remember this, even up to the
last-I loved you.'
In the dusk of early evening an
army Of countless men and women
hurrying to the trans, the tubes and
the buses, swept past him ignorant of
his misery. What was war to them
in a country thousands Of miles across
a sea and in which perhaps there was
none bound to them by ties of affec-
ton? The United States might iso-
late itself by sea and intrench itself
bshind cordons of soldiers; but he
would go back! Yes, he would find
q way to pass all their barriers and
gain the side of the woman who mer
tied his protection through her avowed
love, and in this, her hour of need,

uttermost spaces of the world, be-
seeching him to return-only to re-

small city on the southeastern coast.
News had leaked through to him to
the effect that the ships of the United
States were scattering out over many
seas instead of mobilizing in western
waters. More than this, Seigo learned
that in all navy yards there had been
a cessation of work, whereas an in,
crease would have. seemed more rea-
sonable, considering the unfinished
state of several cruisers and battle
ships. -
On first thought he attributed this
latter lapse to one of the frequent
changes Of policy or . dearth of funds,
but now, in view of these later ship
ments and purchases, he began to
question. In Washington no news was
obtainable. The administration was
preserving q wooden front toward not
only tho world but its own people as
we'll. Congressman and senators
knew nothing beyond the declaration
of war and the empowering of the
president and his cabinet in special
session to for the country, and the
administration, was, apparently doing
nothing whatever out of the regular
routine Of business. 1t was this pauci-
ty which drove the sham laundry
man from his irons and away upon
journey.

Fertile Of resource, he readily dis

spoke fluently, and was a liberal con-

Having thus ingratiated himself,
the next step was made easy. He Sc

Seigo's most valuable ally was one
Meredith, of English parentage, and
man who for years resided on Cross
street, Paterson, N. J., that unfor-
tunate city whose very industry and
peacefulness had made it the gather
ing place Of the Reds. Meredith was
a machinist by trade, and an employe
Of supply house; so it was not sur
prising that he brought news of
strange and unusual purchases made
through many sources by the United
States government. In this there was
nothing alarming, and it was rather
with curiosity that the astute de-
scendant of a Samurai looked over
these reports and vaguely wondered
whether they might have bearing on
war. He was sufficiently painstaking
to ask for others and check them up;
but in this he gained nothing beyond
the certainty that the navy depart
ment, while existing in state of
seeming stagnation, was inwardly
very active. He made many trips to
the points where these purchases
were made, but found them innocuous
In so far as he could reason

that the greater portion of these ship

any way at all, the key must be at the

Editorial Notes by J. d. Watson

Again it seems that our government is de
ternined to interfere in one of those Central
American revolutions
Two Americans have been shot in the Mica
raguan trouble by order of the President of
Nicaragua and, of course, we must get busy
and send down some of our expensive war
ships to blow the little spot off the map.
The Americans who were put to death 1.-TWO
in number) are said to have been caught
mixed up in other revolutions in the same
country
This time they, the Americans, were at
tempting to commit crime much worse than
that of the blowing up of the Maine, for
which we declared war against Spain and
''freed" Cuba
Sometimes it looks as if we were jumping
on these little countries about such matters
simply to satisfy some private American in
terest that wanted to rob the little, helpless
country.
President Taft is very much outraged at
the treatment of the two citizens of the
United States who were executed by the Mica
raguan government.
He has a right to be, as he is President,
COmmander-in chief, ETC., of the Army and
Navy.

prison, just as you put the little thief who
steals few cents.
Another fair example of the tribute we
have to pay the Trust for the everyday neces-
sarles OF life IS shown in statement of Ar
mour and Company.
This company, one of the Beef Trust, in
listing bond issue on the Stock Exchange
shows the Beef Trust to be one of the most
grasping of all Trusts.
During the last year on capital stock of
S20,O000O0, Armour and Company made a
gross profit of $10,582,0 900, and earned a sur
plus of 81 ,127 926, which is equivalent to 1915
interest on its capital stock.
This does away with the packers explana-
ton that the increase In price of meat is due
to the increase of the price of live stock, FOR
here is the leading firm Of the Trust showing
that it made 80 per cent. in one year
Armour virtually says to the Stock Elk
change, | want to list bond issue of $780,
100000 1t is a good thing Let me show
you how good it is. Last year made 35 per
cent. on my capital stock of S20000OoO.
Yes, and the people had it to paw; those
who were poor paying most of it. They had
1T to do or starOe.
1t is about time to prosecute the officials Of
the Beef Trust.
The trial of the Sugar Trust officials bids
fair to be one of the most sensational trials
IN the history of the country, for it looks like
the man higher up will be caught and con
victed.
The first days trial of James F. Bender
nagel a former official of the Trust, brought
out the fact that Bendernagel was seen to pay
cash to men wearing the uniform of the Gus
toms service, and that Bendernagel took no
receipt nor made any entry on his books of
the payment.
The witness further testified that the money
for these payments was sent to Bendernagel
by check from III Wall Street, the Sugar
Trusts headquarters.
Seeing that he is being made scapegoat
of the higher officials, Bendernagel retorts
that he only did as ordered, and threatens to
turn states evidence.
The Trusts attorneys will make every
effort to prevent this, but let us hope that the
United States attorneys will see that Ben
dernagel IS not tempered with.
Those higher up in the affairs of the Trust
are the ones who are responsible for this rob
berry of the Government
They are the ones who furnished the money
to do the bribing, and they are the ones who
pocketed the millions which the brides robbed
the Government of.
Bendernagel and his associates should be
punished, but the big rascals higher up are
the ones who should walk the lock-step.
