question is the admittance of Jews to
be officers in the army. At present anti
Semitism is SO powerful that no Jew
can become an army officer.
Blame Placed on the Oficers.
The minister of war, Gen. Won Herrin-
gen, lin reply to the criticisms of this
anomaly. declares that the kaiser and the
government disapprove of such agrees

were powerless to stem it, as the officers

The same cry has been repeated by the

duce goods at lower cost than small

Naive Optimists,

six months ago there was another
outburst Of optimism as naive as
though the world were still living in the
sentimental era Of glass exhibitions.
Since then there has opened another
era Of political earthquakes and con-
flagrations. and the area of disturb
ance continues to extend. Before the
Tripoli problem has been safely liquid.
ated or the peace Of the Balkans is as
sured, we have the outburst in China
of an insurrection which may change
the face OF the far east and give an
incalculable increase of force to all
the impulses set moving by the tri-
umph of Japan. All we can be certain
os in the region of world politics is
that nothing is certain. Do we need
further lessons to convince us that
the peace of civilization is founded
upon the crust of volcano?" asks
the London Observer.

CHAPTER XVI.

The Chief Of Police Visits Mr.. Gormly.
On the evening OF the second day
before the election Connell, dressed In
plain clothes and entirely unaccom-
eAnied. presented himself very late at
night at Gormly's apartment and So
sired to see him. 1t was Somes who
admitted the official Gormly's estab-
lishment was simple one, and the
other servants had gone home for the
night.
Somes knew very we'll who he was,
and while he had some OF the English
awe OF the police he had all the ha-
tired OF a jealous and devoted partizan
of his master, which he certainly was,
for the enemy. Therefore he re-
uuested the functionary TO take seat
while he carried the request for an In
tervlew to the library.
Somes entered the library without
knocking. a most unusual course for
him. He also took occasion to turn
the key OF the door behind him. Then
he stood at attention in his respectful
English way. Gormly had looked up
instantly the door was opened, and
had stopped his dictation. He was
greatly surprised at the valets en-
trance. and more surprised when he
locked the door; but he realized that
something unusual was up and said
nothing,
BEG pardon. sir" began Somes de
precatingly. but there's a party out
in the hall wants to see you"
"Who is it?"
"He didn't give any name, sir, but
recognized him as the chief Of po,
lice"
Yes. sir"
What does he want?"
al didn't say, sir"
what was his message?"
"Just to tell you that a gentleman
that's what he called himself sir
wanted to see you"
"Where is he now"
"I left him sitting out in the hall,
but wouldn't be too sure as TO where
he is, sir. He seemed to want to come
right In here without permission, and
that's why I locked the door. sir"
"T see" answered Gormly, twinkle
OF amusement in his eye. II wonder
what the chief OF police can have "a
say to me? Well, ! suppose I'd better
see him. Chaloner. will you go into
the dining room and wait until call
for you Tell the chief to come in

While Chaloner gathered UP his
notebooks. pencils, and letters and
withdrew into the dining room across
the hall. Somes unlocked the door
stepped out into the hall and present
ly returned He threw the door OF the
pbrary open in great style, drew him
self up and announced as IL II had
NCen a reigning prince:
