He was awakened next morning by
the thunder OF heavily shod men storm

poise as assured and a subtle force as
strongly indicated.
Her bright, old eyes, blue as his
own, met his lifted glance as he hest
tated.
Set down in the place you had last.

voice, fits yours now. Johnll move
down a notch
She went back into the mysterious
region of pies and doughnuts, and
Sandry was conscious of a slight feel
ing of wonder. He was already taken
in as one of the family in a subtle
way, and 1T did not quite suit him to
be so. If he missed certain lifelong
attributes of service and surrounding,
Ii he took his place among these
rough men with an inward tremor of
rebellion, he made no sign.
Again the girl he had met on the
farther side of the mountain tended
in silence, tribe more aloof. She
was clad in the same sort of blue fan
mel shirt the men wore, with a red |
tie under the rundown collar and a
rather short blue skirt showing ner
feet laced trinity into miniature boots.
The. latter were even full OF small
steel caulkl.
1t was still dark when the loggers
rooped VI into the fine rain.
John Daily came to him. II
Now, wha- would you like, Mr.. San

Outside it was fresh and slightly
old. A thick, white 1og struck him in

his hands while he stared into the
flame OF the lamp with knit brows and
twitching lips.
1t was as if the fateful cry had
touched some sore spot in his heart,
set throbbing some half-healed pain.
For moment shadow as of vague
remorse darkened his expressive face.
Then a resolute strength frightened
his lips and he laid the Bible gently
down and blew out the light.
1t was cold in the little room and

RULES UNITED STATES
STEEL NEED NOT QUIT
Federal Court at Trenton. NJ. j.. De-
MES U. S. PIea-Foreien Trade
Is Upheld.

trenton, N. j., June 5.-The deci-
sion in the United States Steel cor.
poration suit filed in the United States
district court here on Thursday holds
that the corporation should not be dis
solved. The principal points in the
decision are:
1t refuses to issue any injunction.
1t holds the foreign trade of the
Steel corporation is not a violation of
the Sherman law.
1t holds certain price-fxing agree
ments which followed the Gary din.
ners, but which stopped before the
bill was filed, to have been unlawful.
1t allows the government to move
to retain jurisdiction of the bill If
such price-fixing practices are re-
newed, but suggests matters may now
be controlled by the new trade com
mission.
The suit against the United States
Steel corporation was filed October &C.
1911, during the Taft administration
and was started by George w. Wicker
sham, who was attorney general.
The opinions, two in number, are
largely a discussion of whether the
steel corporation monopolized the
steel trade or dealt unfairly with com
petitors or purchasers.
This case, proceeding under the
Sherman antitrust law, is one largely
of business facts" says the opinion.
1t declares all the trust cases so
far determined settled down to this,
that only such combinations are with
in the Sherman act as by reason of
the intent of those forming them or
the inherent nature of their contem-
plated act wrong the public by unduly
restricting competition or unduly OBJ
structing the course of trade.

my Dear Mr.. Bryan:
II accept your resignation only be-
cause you insist upon it's acceptance,
deep regret, with feeling of personal
sorrow. Our two years Of close asso-
citation have been very delightful to
me. Our judgments have accorded in
practically every matter Of Official
duty and of public policy until now;
your support of the work and pur-
poses of the administration has been
generous and loyal beyond praise !;
your devotion to the duties of your
great office and your eagerness to
take advantage Of every great oTSpor-
tunity for service it offered has been
an example to the rest of us; you
have earned our affectionate admira-
ton and friendship. Even now we
are not separated in the object we
seek but only in the method by which
we seek It.
1T Is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the Sec

Our objects are the same, and we
ought to pursue them together. /
yielded to your desire only because I

KAISER GIVES PEACE TERMS.
Dutch Envoy Arrives in Washington
With German Proposals

WHIT TEOPOSdtSs
Washington, June 9.-Germany,
through a special Dutch envoy, is ask
ing President Wilson to transmit pro-
posed terms of peace to the allied
powers.
The envoy is Jonkheer van Gheel
Gilderme ester, a member of the court
of Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither
lands and connected with banking cir
cles in Holland.
He came to Washington on Friday
equipped with the peace terms of Ger
many, which that country has been
publishing to the world for months, as
follows:
Evacuation of Belgium and North
ern France.
Reconstruction of the kingdom of
Poland.
Freedom of the seas.
"Cession of a strip of Alsace and
Lorraine to France in recognition of
German sovereignty over Luxem-
bourg.
Acquisition of African colonies by
Germany.
Restoration to Germany of all col
onies held by that country prior to the
war, with the exception of Kiau-
chau, which is to be disposed of as
Japan sees fit"
So far as official action is concerned
1t is not believed here that President
Wilson would be inclined to take it.,
since he has received no official COM
munication as to Germany's desire Tor
peace on the terms stated.

orally believed that he favored a note

States In grave complications.
Resignation No Surprise.
The resignation of Mr.. Bryan was
expected In Washington. That there
has been serious disagreement be-
tween him and the president, as we'll
as other members of the cabinet, over
the tenor and text of the German note
has been a matter which could not be
kept inside oficlal circles. 'asszasaseas.--
+ M. Bryan objected to the first note
20 Germany dealing with the Lusitania
incident. He believed the president
should have taken a less stringent at
titude In the first note, with q view
toward settling the difficulty along the
diplomatic avenues provided under
treaties which he recently negotiated
with Great Britain and France.
Pleads for Pacific Attitude.
In recent cabinet meetings Mr..
Bryan kept up his pleading for more
pacific attitude on the part of the ad.
ministration.
The president allowed him to re
write part of the second note and in.
corporate some of the ideas contained
in his peace treaties.
According to report, some Of Mr.
Bryan's contributions to the note have
been heavily blue-penciled by the pres
ident. who has been upheld by most
Of the other members of the cabinet.

Quarantine Chief Denies Disease
Traced to That Country.
Washington, June 7.-Dr. Richard
Hickman, chief of the quarantine di-
vision, department of agriculture, en-
phatically denied charges made by the
Breeders Gazette of Chicago and print
ed throughout the United States, that
epidemics of foot-and-mouth disease in
this country could be traced to the
free Importation of animal products
from Argentina.
Doctor Hickman also characterized
as ridiculous" the suggestion made
by the Breeders Gazette that "Pres1-
dent Wilson's administration serious
ly is considering the introduction OF
Argentina's packing house products.
Rigid inspection removes POSSIBLE
ity of such introduction of disease,
says Doctor Hickman, who adds: so
far as we know at this time, the vac
cine came through from Japan"

Some of Mr.. Bryan's conciliatory
spirit has been incorporated in the
note, but the steel ring of that portion
Of the first Lusitania document, which
was written by the president himself,
was not toned down in any way.
When the cabinet met observers at
the White House were astounded to
see that Mr.. Bryan was not there
promptly at the appointed hour. The
cabinet was in session for full hour
before he appeared
1t was after the luncheon of the cab
met that the news got out that Secre-
tary Bryan had resigned.
The action of MT Bryan in breaking
with the president comes at critical
period Of the administration. scarcely
more psychological than that minute
Of the Baltimore convention when the
Nebraskan led the movement from
Champ Clark which resulted in the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
Conscientious scruples on a matter
on which he has very decided views
are back Of Mr.. Bryan's action, just as
they were at Baltimore, when he broke
away from his instructions as dele
gate and swung behind Wilson.
For several months Mr.. Bryan's
friends have marveled at the willing
ness with which he has practically eff
faced his own personality in his Ca
pacity as the prime cabinet officer of
the president Teamwork" was said
to be his watchword, and his every act
and word was devoted to the admins
tration. Observers declared that his
patience in this role was one of the
marvels Of recent political events.
Friends of Mr.. Bryan declared he
did not object to the action Of the
president In assuming nearly all the
functions of the secretary of state un-
til the presidents attitude ran into
line of diplomatic action which was
Numerically opposed to what Mr.
Bryan believed to be the best way to
proceed.
Robert Lansing, who succeeds Mr..
Bryan as secretary of state, has been
counsel for the state department since
the early days of Mr. Wilson's admin
istration. He is a son-in-law of former
Secretary of State John w. Foster, and
1t is understood that Mr. Lansing has
received valuable advice from this
source during the trying days of the
European war.
Mr.. Lansing Is fifty years old. He
Is son of the late John Lansing OF
Watertown, N Y, where he has made
his home for many years. He has been
counsel for the government In many
important controversies with foreign
governments, notably in the Boring
sea dispute with Great Britain.
