The meeting represented the democracy
OF England rather than the arlstocraCy.
Premier ASquith said in part:
The unique situation which we have
met TO recognize and welcome has NOT
been organized or engineered by the ap-
paratus Of diplomacy. The seed which
the president OF the United States has
sown fell on ground prepared TO receive
II. That which a few years ago, even
a few months ago, might have been re-
garded as the dream OF idealists has not
only passed into the domain OF practical
craftsmanship. but has become the set
tied purpose of two great dcmocracies.
THE profound significance OF the new
departure is that between Great Britain
and the United States. whatever the
tho interests involved. whatever the
poignancy of the feelings IL aroused
there Will be a feeling OF abandonment OF
war as a possible solution. and the sub
stitution of argument for force. and the
supersession by judicial methods for the
old ordeal OF battle"
After declaring that the treaty implied
no menace TO the rest OF mankind and
did not provide for an Anglo American
alliance aggressive or defensive, the pre-
mier continued:

laughing; indeed laughed until

was going to have an attack Of
strangulated emotion, called hysteria
So l got up and turned on all the
lights, and bathed my face with CO
logne, and felt better.
But l did not go to sleep. When
the hall clock chimed two, l discover
ed l was hungry. l had had nothing
since luncheon, and even the thirst
following the South American goulash
was gone. There was probably some
thing to eat in the pantry, and If there
was not, l was quite equal to going
to the basement.
AS 1t happened, however, found q
very orderly assortment of left-overs

with plenty of light l was not at all

milk, and was fast becoming a ra-

one of the drawers part way, and
with tray across the corner l had
improvised comfortable seat. And
then l noticed that the drawer was
full Of soiled napkins, and remember
ed the bracelet. hardly know why l
decided to go through the drawer
again after Flanagan had already done
it, but l did. finished my milk and
then, getting down on my knees,
proceeded systematically to empty the
drawer. took out perhaps a dozen
napkins and as many doilies without
finding anything. Then l took out
large tray cloth, and there was some
thing on it that made me look farther.
One corner of 1t had been scorched,
the clear and well-defined imprint of a
lighted cigarette or cigar, blackened
streak that trailed off into a brown
and yellow. l had a queer. trembly
feeling, as if 1 were on the brink of q
discovery-perhaps Anne's pearls, or
the cuff buttons with storks painted
on china in the center. But the only
thing l found, down in the corner of
the drawer. was a half-burned ciga-
rette.
To me, 1t seemed quite enough. It
was one of the South American ciga-
rettes, with tobacco wrapper instead
Of paper, that Mr.. HARRISON smoked.

OPEN, BRAzEN CONFESSION
Ono Man Finds the Game Of Chess
Too Much for Him and
Admits II.

The chessboards which are occasion
ally given to us by our benevolent
friends and relations are invariably Of
the very useful type. They are studded
with spikes so that no piece can be- re-
moved fortuitiously from its own sep
arate square. When people give us a
chessboard they seem to think that we
are likely to play chess more often
than not on the deck Of ship in a
hurricane. They picture us tossed
this way and that by waves which run
mountains high. They feel that
though we may be physically incom-
NODDED by the fury of the tempest, the
game of chess in which we are en-
gagged will be undisturbed. They are
right. Nothing short Of volcanic
eruption Immediately beneath our feet
would cause the dislocation of the ar
rangements of pieces on these presen-
tation boards.
Personally, however. we have not
played chess at all for sometime. Our
knowledge of the game stopped short
" after we mastered the various
moves of the various pieces. Every
now and then we get wild longing
to rival those experts who win twenty
seven games blindfold simultaneously
while playing. 1.-THE Lost Chord" on
the banjo. But our ambition general
ly fades away when we get out one
of our chessboards and realize that we
cannot make full use Of its capabilities
unless we go to the Bay of Biscay on
a rough day. Besides, we once suf-
fered a violent encouragement. We
were playing with an opponent who
also was no flier, and each thought
It was the others move. We sat wait
ing for each other to move for three
quarters of an hour; until. In fact,
some casual bystandcr mentioned that
there was a time linait in such cases.
That incident has soured US perma-
nemtly.

Nothing resists the terrible force Of

Hereafter all torpedoes of the navy

thoughtful man, is known to but four

not get up. He appeared, sheepishly,

bringing Anne as concession to
