ing may not be a severe one 1t may
be less severe than the law would
provide; but 1t would be a personal
reckoning. There is one individual in
this affair with whom I should like to
reckon, hence the personal equation
enters very largely into the case"
The secretary of wal crumpled q
sheet of paper impatienty and hitched
his chair up to the table.
Coming down to the facts it's like
this, isn't it," he demanded briskly.
THE Latin countries by an invention
Of their own which the United States
and England were to be duped into
purchasing. would have had power
to explode every submarine mine be-
fore attacking a port? Very we'll.
This thing, of course. would have
given them the freedom of the seas
as long as we were unable to explode
their submarines as they were able
to explode ours. And this is the condi.
ton which made the Latin compact
possible, isn't it,"
He looked straight at Mr.. Grimm,
who nodded.

aren't we? Every possible danger
from that direction has passed, hasn't
It? The wOrld-war of which we have
been talking is rendered impossible,
isn't it,"
That's a question:" answered Mr..
Grimm. IF you will pardon me for
suggesting 1t, l would venture to say
that as long as there is an invention
of that importance in the hands of
nations whom we now know have
been conspiring against us for fifty
years, there is always danger. It
seems to me. If you will pardon mo
again, that for the sake of peace we
must either get complete control of
that invention Or else understand it
so we'll that there can be no further
danger. And again, please let me call
your attention to the fact that the
brain which brought this thing into
existence Is still to be reckoned with.
There may, some day, come a time
when our submarines may be explod-
ed at will regardless of this percus-
sion cap.'

The choleric eyes of the president
softened a little, and grew grave as
they studied the impassive face of the
young man.

asked.

Biggest Run Since May. 20 Hammers
Prices; 713 Shipped Yesterday
Relieves Pressure.
Stock Yards, Chicago, July 26.--The
biggest run since May 20 swamped the
horse market yesterday, leaving 1t In 4
very unsettled condition at the opening
today, with chances strongly in favor
Of it going still farther off. The actual
receipts for yesterday were 1918, but
as 713 We're shipped out the affect upon
the market was not so bad as might
have been looked for following the
lood Of horseflesh that swept through
he market. This unclnssified stuff'pre-
dominated far too much. and the mar
ket was off IS to SIS on many sales
from the opening week ago. The mum
Der Of buyers was too small to take
care of the abnormal rush which CAME
so Unexpectedly. The only kind that
sold up to the mark was the express
ers and excavators of quality and
weight Of around 1,G0C.
Receipts for the first two days this
week are estimated at 1918, compared
with 9sS :, week ago and 1854 for similar
days year ago. This shows surplus
of 525 over a week ago, when the mar
ket was getting all 1t could stand ac-
cording to the demand for this time Of
year. There is no doubt that there are
far too many horses on the market for
the season. and unless the let-up comes
soon it will remain in an unsettled con-
dition for the rest Of the season. The
following ranges Of prices were quoted
on classified horses:
