been enacted there with gentle, low
able Hetty Glynn and her whilom
husband as the principal characters.
The girl had told the whole story Of
that ugly night. Sara tried to see 1t
as p actually had transpired. For
months this present enterprise had
been in her mind: the desire to see
the place again, to go there with old
impressions which she could leave be-
hind when ready to emerge in new
frame of mind. II was true that she
meant to shake off the shackles of a
horrid dream, to purge herself OF the
last vestige of bitterness, to cleanse
her mind of certain thoughts and mem
cries.
Downstairs Booth waited for her.
He heard the story of the tragedy from
the innkeeper, who GROSSLY maintained
that his business had been ruined.
Booth was vaguely impressed. he knew

True to her word. she was gone
when he drove over later on in the
day. Somehow, he experienced a
queer feeling OF relief. Not that he
was oppressed by the rather vivacious
opinions of Vivian and her ilk, but
because something told him that Sara
was wavering in her determination to
withhold the secret from him and fed
for perfectly obvious reasons.

which she admitted would have to be

seventeen years difference in their
ages. Vivian had put off posing until

to desert the country for the city. The

Washington Circles Doubt ful That Peace is Near ill Mexico, Now First Chief Declares Against Aguas Calientes Convention VILLA HAS 30,OO0
 MEN CAMPED THERE In Meantime Naco Stands in Fear of More Damage as Maytorena Has Five Field Pieces in Position Around Town
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-It is ap- parent that Carranza's repudiation of the claim of the conveution of Aguas Calientes to sovereign power in Mex ico has shaken the confidence of of ficial circles that peace is near in Mexico. Officials doubted the reports that Villa moved a large force to the vicinity of Aguas Calientes to coerce the delegates
 Official reports they said, showed that while suspicion of such a move existed when Villa first arrived. it was dispelled by his frank statement to abide by the conventions decrees. Carranza's message to the convention, asking by what authority it pro- claimed itself sovereign, declaring he would deliver the executive power on- ly to the man elected by the people also dampened the Washington hopes that the contest for control of Mex icos affairs between CarranZa and Villa was about to be finally adjusted.
 Some of the officials interpreted the adjournment of the convention to await the arrival of Zapata delegates as merely a move on the part of some delegates to confer with Car ranza on what their course of action should be.

German Attempt to Extend Lines Along the English Channel Meets With Wig orous Resistance By Al lied Forces
THREE BATTALIONS
 ARE VENTILATED
French Mine Important Pc sitions on Elbow of Line With Dire Results to In vaders - Berlin Admits Stubborn Fighting
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

FROM BATTLEFRONT, Oct. 20.- The German invaders are meeting with vigorous resistance in the effort to shorten their lines and rest their right wing further to the southwest ward upon the English channel
 Much fighting has been done in the obscurity of fogs French marines gave good account of themselves yesterday when a thick fog covered the entire region. The marines, ac- customed to such weather conditions, crept toward the German trenches and got within thirty feet before being seen. Their coming was heralded too late for the defenders, who were bayoneted in their trenches as they ran. Four hundred German prisoners were taken.
 An important position near the el bow of the line has been taken and retaken frequently during the last three weeks. The French held the position for the twelfth time ten hours when a German battering ram of troops forced the French back. The Germans began fortifying, but there was deafening explosion. The French had mined every foot of the ground during the ten hours It is estimated that three German battalions were annihilated.
 The strength of the German position north of Rove, which facilitated their movements toward Lille is explained by the fact that they were occupying the unfinished canal as far as Reisel. The Germans were found in deep, broad d-cutting, magnificent entrench- ments in which they only had to in stall artillery batteries.
 Officers of the allies say they noted that only about forty per cent of the shells from these guns explode. They also say the prodigality of fire from them apparently depleted the Ger mans supply of ammunition, as the intensity of the fire has lately di- unfinished. The French artillerymen are so careful in getting ranges that they waste few shells. In an artil- lery duel near Armentieres they fired half a day into tbickets that had been abandoned some time before. When

PARIS, Oct. 20-Increasing satis- faction was shown by the people of Paris today on reading the latest re- ports from the front. These indicate that the allies are continuing their offensive operations, which, in the opinion of French observers, promise the best results. The action of the Belgian army and the squadorn of waships in repulsing the attack of the enemy was the subject of particularly favorable comment.
 The public was equally gratified by the announcement of the situation in AIsace. This was the first time in some days that the war office had indicated definitely the French posi- tons. It is now seen that the French troops have almost reached the outlet of the valley leading to the plains of the river III, which flows through AL sace and empties into the Rhine.

WASHINGTON, oct 2O.-Interest in financial affairs centered chiefly in Washington, where were held fur- ther conferences in which representa- . tives of the British finance minister, officials of the United States treas ury and some prominent banking in terests of the country were partici- rants. The outcome of the .negotia- tions is expected to have direc: bearing not only on existing foreign exchange conditions, but also on the re-opening Of the New York and London stock exchanges.
 A hitch was reported relative to the proposed cotton pool, the chief obstacle to which is said to be the disinclination of the federal reserve beard to assume full responsibility for the project on the ground that other and more pressing duties are now before it.
 The decline of exchange on London is generally associated with recent heavy foreign demands for our com modities. Advices from Chicago in : dicate that yesterdays grain exports were a record breaker

Naco Looks for Fight

NACO. Oct. 20.-While awaiting the arrival of the peace commission from Aguas Calientes to settle differences between Gov. Maytorena and Gen. Gill, both these leaders are preparing to resume hostilities. Maytorena is evl- dently planning the demolition or Naco. Sonora, as he has now i've field pieces planted on three sides or the town. The guns in their present position endanger the American town more than before should Maytorena renew attacks on the Mexican village. Gil has four guns enroute, that are expected to arrive tonight.
 Both the Villa and Carranza forces are now apparently acting in defiance of the Aguas Calientes convention.
 Gil previously agreed to cease hos tilities and act only on the defen- sive. Maytorena, at first recogniz- ing the truce, later disregarded 1t and continued desultory attacks on the garrison.
 Today Gil is reported by the con- stitutional agent to have received word that the peace convention or dered him to remain at Naco ana Agua Prieta, where Col Reynas, May torena's subordinate is besieging the garrison. It is also provided that Mavtorena should retire fifteen miles
