all, he needs quiet. We all guard him
against any noise or confusion or In

down at the laboratory for twenty

Exercise? Not what other people

London.-Winston Churchill, the first

English government has made a spe-
c..aac osfer to Germany OF u years ma
val holiday" wherein both nations
would agree to halt the construction
OF battleships.
Widespread interest was aroused by
the proposal, and much significance Is
attached to the offer, which was made
while he was discussing the naval ex-
penditures of $375,Ooo,oo0 a year and
warning the nation OF the inevitably
heavy increase In ornaments IL the
rivalry continued.
The pith of his speech was contained
In this paragraph:
Now, we say in all friendship and
sincerity to our great neighbor, Ger
many: If you will put of beginning to
build your two ships for twelve months
we will put off In absolute good faith
the building of our four ships for ex-
actly the same period
If Great Britain and Germany took
the lead, Mr.. Churchill added, there
was a good prospect Of success In get
ting other powers to agree to a naval
holiday, thus relieving the taxpayers
of a burden Of millions of dollars.
Mr.. Churchill first advocated a naval
holiday on March 20 when he was
speaking In the house of commons on
the naval estimates, but Germany did
not accept his offer.
'The proposal ! put forward In the
name of the British government for a

NO TRACE Of FAMILY
MISSING FOR 20 YEARS
Seek Information Of Wealthy
Judge, Wife and Heirs

Kingston, Mo.-After twenty years OF
gossip, theorizing and discussion re-
garding the disappearance OF the fam
lily OF James Mcmillan, one time pro-
bate judge OF Caldwell county, the Of
fcials of the county are TO take steps
TO trace their present whereabouts In
the hope OF disposing of farm and
town property owned by them and
upon which taxes have been left un-
paid since they disappeared. The prop
erty is now deserted and has been long
regarded as haunted.
The dropping out OF sight OF Judge
Mcmillan and the subsequent disap-
pearance OF his family at various times
provided a mystery that has been
solved. Leaving the county courthouse

fifty-five years old and have been away
a long time, but I have honestly grown
homesiek.e He and Laidlaw parted a
few moments later. and Judge McMil-
Ian was never seer again by his fam
lily or any one in the county. He did
not leave by the nearest railroad spur.
1t was found. nor had he hired any We
hicle to take him from Kingston,
For a time Mrs. Mcmillan lived quiet
ly. She received no word from her hus-
band. and inquiries In Scotland proved
that he had not been een there and
that no word from him had ever been
received by his relatives there.
About three years after Judge Me
Mflan's disappearance James and
George, his two sons, spent a day
about their usual haunts and at night
disappeared. They had no baggage Of
any kind and were dressed In their
working Clothes No word has ever
been received from them since.
Two years passed after the boys had
disappeared when handbills were cir
culated stating that Mrs. Mcmillan
would sell all Of her belongings FOR
cash. The sales were held Mt the diff
ferent homes owned by her, and then
she and her three daughters disap.
peared as had the father and sons.
The real estate belonging to the fam
lily had not been disposed Of, and No
provision was ever made FOR ITS sale.
