Of Greyball," and then we will have
our letters. Here is the story:
THE RETURN OF GREYBALL.
A week passed very long, lone
Cme week for Bessie and Katie.
They missed Greyball so dreadfully;
and they were always wondering to
each other where she was and if she
missed them as much as they missed
her.
One morning while Bessie and
Katie were eating their breakfast
they heard a faint scratching at the
front door and then a weak little
meow.
Bessie and Katie looked at one
another as though they could hardly
believe their ears. Then they looked
at Mama, and then they both gave a
little cry and rushed to the door like
small whirlwinds.
There was Greyball-a little for
lorn bedraggled Greyball huddled all
shivering on the doorstep.
ooh Greyball, you darling!" cried
Bessie.
And "Oh Greyball, you sweet,
sweet little ldttyW cried Katie.
Both little girls tried to pick up
he kitten at the same time, but Bes-
sic succeeded in carrying her in the
house to Mama.
Mama cried out in great surprise
when she saw Greyball in Bessie's
arms, but when Bessie put her on
the floor she gave an exclamation Of
pity.
"Why, the poor little thing is near
ly starved" she said.
"Starvedy' cried Bessie.
"Starvedp echoed Katie.

nice warm milk right away"

sic after Greyball had been warmed
and fed and was purring contentedly
in Katie's lap.

if it is done Intentionally" answered
Mama.
"But-that boy didn't look wicked,
Mama" said Katie soberly.
Mama smiled

Dear" she said. "Just wee bit
forgetful, mabe-as you and Bessie
are sometimes. And he may have
been sick, in which case he wasn't to

"But his papa or mama could have
taken care of Greyball," spoke up
Bessie quickly.
Mama looked thoughtful.

swered finally. 'But-if the little
boy was very sick his papa and
mama were probably too much wor-
ried to think of kittens, however
much they may have intended to do
so. Besides" Here Mama
smiled teenty weenty smile-"as
long as we don't know who is to

one to blame, I expect we'd better

right thing ourselves, which means
that we must never forget to take
care of Greyball as long as she stays

Foreign Governments Will

Trial tests of the Cooper hydro-aero-

craft company and especially designed
to combat submarine warfare. will be
made in the harbor tomorrow.
The new war engine was moved from
the factory at Bruce and eStratford
avenues last evening, and today the

Representatives of foreign govern

They are expected here again for the
official tests which will follow some
time after the trials tomorrow.
TIE craft is of the approved hydro
aeroplane type, but has many improve

The utmost secrecy with regard to
the construction of the airboat has
been maintained. Folks along STRAIT

eyes in astonishment last evening
when the strange-looking craft was
trundIed down the street from the fac
tory to the hangar. Curious ones who
sought a closer inspection were denied
admittance to the hangar.
The machine is designed to carry a
pilot and a crew of four. Roomy, up

Federal Inspector, on Quiet
Visit Here, Finds Hun

FAST SERVICE YACHT
Fines May Total More Than
$4,000 If Full Tax Is
Assessed.

Motor-boat and steamboat owners
of Bridgeport are liable to fines ag-
gregating $4,000 as a result of the
unobserved slipping into this port on
Tuesday of the United States yacht
Tarragon, Captain J. E. Cushing, and
bearing on board Commander Jeffer-
son B. Oberndorfer, in charge of the
navigations inspections service Of the
government.
Following a warning that all motor
boats and even canoes in these waters
should be properly equipped with life
preservers, fire extinguishers, bells,
lights, whistles, etc, the Tarragon,s one
of the two boats maintained on the
Atlantic coast to inspect steamers of
all classes came into port and tied
upon alongside of the Merchants line
pier.
At her masthead she flew the blue
pennantz of the service carrying in
white q three-masted schooner. So
little is the flag seen in this port that
even experienced water-men failed
to recognize her Importance until the
inspectors got busy about the boat
clubs after dark last night and board
ed nearly 400 craft lying at anchor
in these waters. On some of the boats
the owners were found and were
compelled to produce their equip
nent
On other vessels even the presence
of the owners was not necessary for
riding lights were not found burning
as is required. Several rowboat oc-
cupants were surprised when asked
for the required lantern Some pro-
duced pocket flashlights as a make
shift, but their names and addresses
were taken.
So quietly did the inspectors work
that the owners of large power boats
at the big yacht clubs did not even
know what was stirring until all the
craft had been checked up. Visits
were also made to some of the big
steamers plying out of this port and
also sailing vessels and barges at
anchor in the outer harbor.
Those who have been visited last
night and today in the local harbor
and have been found wanting in the
equipment of their boats will not hear
from the government for nearly n
month, as the names of the boats,
their owners, and the infraction of
the rules will be reported direct to the
customs service at Washington. Fines
will be imposed in proportion to the
fagrancy of the violation which may
range from 500 to S125.
These will later be reported to the
local collector of customs who will
make demand for payment of the fine.

representatives of Brazils Chilli, Ar

Uruguay and Robert Lansing, secre-

here today to act identically in a plan
which has for its aim the restoration
of peace in Mexico.
An appeal to Mexicans Of all fac
tions to subordinate all selfish inter-
esfs to the national welfare of Mex
leo, has been prepared. Both Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
had given 1t their approval and after
todays conference on details of
phraseology and the length of time
in which it should be indicated that
replies were hoped for, the connmuni-
cation will be distributed throughout
Mexico to officials and leaders, both

they were confident that, when the
appeal was made public the rniscon-
ception of their purposes which evil
IDENTIFY has been spread in some parts
of Mexico would be removed.
Secretary Lansing, Ignacio Calder

Joaquin Mendez, the Guatemalan
minister, had come from Washington
for the conference. From their sum
mer quarters came Dominica De
CANA! the Brazilian ambassador;
Eduardo Suarez Mujika, the ChiIian
ambassador, Romulo S. Naon, the
Argentine ambassador, and Carlos
Maria De Pena, the Uruguayan min
lister.
The conference probably will adj

finally approved and a committee of

with Secretary Lansing in Washing

tails of the peace plan.
