of Westerling, the oblivion of drear, heart-pulling suspense. All the good times, the sWeetly companionable times. she and Lanny had had to- gether; all his flashes of courtship, his outburst in their last interview in the arbor, when she had told him that if she found that she wanted to come to him she would come in a flame. passed in review under the hard light of her petty ironies and sarcasms, which had the false ring of coquetry to her now, genuine as they had been at the time. Through her varying moods she had really loved him, and the thing that had slumbered in her became the drier fuel for the flame perhaps too late.
 Without him-what then? It seemed that the fatality that had let him es- cape miraculously from the aeroplane accident, made him chief of staff, and brought him victory, might well choose to ring down the curtain of destiny for him in the charge that QlONC luC ldSl lOOI Ol IllC NooSA OiA the soil of the Browns. A voice was calling. She heard it haz- lily, with sudden access of giddy fear, before it became cheerful, clar- ion cry that seemed to be repeating message that had already been spo' ken without her understanding it.
 He's safe, safe, safe. Miss Galland, He was not hit! He is on his way back and ought to be here very soon!'
 She heard herself saying Thank you!" But that was not for some time. The aide was already gone. He had had his thanks in the effect of the news, which made him think that a chief of staff should not receive con- gratulations for victory alone.
 Lanny would return through the garden. She remained leaning against the wagon body, still faint from hap piness, waiting for him. She was drawing deeper and longer breaths that were velvety with the glow of sunshine. A flame, the flame that Lanny had desired, of many gentle yet passionate tongues, leaping hither and thither in glad freedom. was in pos session of her being. When his figure appeared out of the darkness the flame swept her to her feet and to- ward him. Though he might reject her he should know that she loved him; this glad thing, after all the shame she had endured, she could confess triumphantly
 But she stopped short under the whip of conscience. Where was her courage? Where her sense of duty? What right had she, who had played such horrible part, to think of self? There were other sweethearts with lovers alive who might be dead on the morrow if war continued. The flame sank to a live coal in her secret heart. Another passion possessed her as she

Principal of Tuskegee Shows How Colored People on Farms Can
 Better Their Condition.

The Graphic is in receipt of the fol- principal of Tukegee institute and the leading colored educator of the world:
 Our race is in constant search of means with which to provide better homes, schools, colleges and churches, and with which to pay debts. This is especially true during the hard finan- cial conditions obtaining on account of the European war All of this car- not be done at once, but great prog ress can be made by goood strong pull together, in a simple direct man. ner. How?
 "There are 100000 colored fami- lies who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 100000 have no pigs want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall.
 "As soon as possible, want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of pig club in every community where one does not al- ready exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families. schools, churches and soci- cities, farmers institutes, business leagues, etc.
 'The average pig is valued at about $5. If each family adds only one pig, in few months at the present prices for hogs, S10.00 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,- OOc,O00 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $2O.OO more wealth, and S2S,OOO,OOO would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war.
 Let us not put it off, but organize Pig clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig.

Many of them with their weakened,
tired faces of the old, stamped all
over with the story of the lives of

Others, aye the majority, with

of child life, and in surroundings so
cold and sordid as to wiring the heart
of a stole.
In this day of ships laden with
Christmas gifts . for the stricken

WALSH WRITES APPEAL FOR
1.-THE KIDS" CHRISTMAS
Denver, COL, Dec. 17.-An appeal
for a Merry Christmas for the chill
dren of the Colorado coal strike was
written for the United Press by
Frank P Walsh, chairman of the
United States federal industrial rela-
lions commission, before he left Den

investigation of the Colorado strike.
His statement follows:
BY FRANK p. WALSH
Chairman u. S. Industrial Relations
Commission
"'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even mouse" ...
And that night, only a week away,
countless millions of American
youngsters will be tucked away in
downy beds to awaken in the early
dawn to, the delirious joy which
Christmas alone brings to the child
ish heart.
Other millions of grown-up chill
dren, many wrinkled and gray, will
be f1uttering about with chuckles of
delight, putting the finishing touches
upon the trees, filing the stockings
and piling up the toys, with song in
their hearts and feeling of love in
their souls which seems a part of
the wonderous story of the Christ
child first heard in the soft lap of an
angel mother, whose beautiful face
looks through the mists of the years.
In the bleak canons of Colorado
that same night will be hundreds of
little tots, as homeless and pitiful as
the Child in the Manager at Bethele-

victims of merciless industrial war

EX-SECRETARY IS
REPEAL ADVOCATE

Washington. D. c., April 15.-Re-
peal of the Panama tolls exemption
was supported today before the senate
canals committee by Oscar s. Straus,
former secretary of commerce and Ia
Dor. He discussed the treaty situation.
adding that strong nation could az
ford to correct mistakes.
LET lis emphasize that our word is
as good as our bond he said. "and
that our bond is open to technical con-
struction or even to quibble, and that
we will fulfill it not only to the letter
but in accord with broad and liberal
spirit"
Mr.. Straus contended that an exemp-
tion would not profit consumers, but
coastwise vessels alone.
Former President Roosevelt, he said
believed the exemption of coastWise
shipping did not violate treaty obliga-
tions, but thought the question should
be submitted to arbitration.
No other witnesses were ready and
the hearing was adjourned until tomor-
row when Seth Low Of New York will
be heard.

in Final Flight
NEWS OF SIX DAYS
BATTLE ARRIVES
Much Blood Spilled During
Desperate Fighting to
Stop the Rebels

Juarez, Mex, April 15.--The defeat
of the combined federals by the rebels
at San Pedro de Las Colonias, state Of
Coahuila, with federal losses estimated
at $500 killed and wounded and 700
prisoners and rebel loss reported at
$50 killed and wounded, it is pointed
out here was really the elimination of
the battle of Torreon, which began on
March 21.
When General velasco the federal
general in chief, evacuated Torreon on
the second of this month his army was
practically intact and the retreat enab-
led him to join the reinforcements
which had failed to reach him at Tor
reon and to that extent the evacuation
was successful maneuver.
In any event Velasco, after his re-
treat was much stronger and more
dangerous than before. At San Pedro
he had with him the columns of Gen
erals Javier De Moure, Benjamin Ar
gumedo, Emilio P. Campo, Mariana
Ruiz, Calos Garcia Hidalgo and Joquin
Mas, a total OF twelve or fourteen
thousand troops.
While desolutory fighting began al
most as soon as the federals left Tor
reon, General Villa gives the duration
of the battle proper as six days culmin-
ating with the flight of the federals last
Monday.
The disordered state of affairs In
Torreon region is illustrated by the
! fact that Villas report Of. victory re

position is that the question before
the country is simply whether the COM

that his resolution, directed against

to manufacture liquor "for use" but
not for sale" The amendment he
said, would not interfere with the "old
