pean countries at war, instead of pro- longing the internicence struggle, is broadly ooutlined as follows:
 "Great Britain is to occupy New England, Maryland, Virginia North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
 'tFrance is to get the French parts of Eastern Canada and the states of Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama, Ar kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. Germany is to occupy the states of New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
 Japan is to take the Pacific Coast, the state Oregon, Upper and Lower California.
 Mexico is to be compensated for Lower California by ceding to it Arizona, New Mexico and part of Texas.
 Russia will receive Alaska.
 '@The Panama Canal will be de- clared free, while the Western states, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Montana Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Colorado will be consolidated into an imperial crown domain of the Ger man Empire.
 /"Though these 'satisfactions' are to be acquired in a concerted campaign, each of the several nations is to eff feet the occupation of it's own allotted territory
 Thus, it is claimed, would best be met the rights and interests of the different nations of old Europe, as it would safeguard their nationals under their respective flags
 .Ewhatever be said about this bold solution it should be appreciated that in many ways it is more feasible than the three successive partitions of Po- land which nevertheless are historic facts.
 Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. This alleged tentative under standing of the powers at war may be reIegated to imaginative fiction, but it is surely not stranger than the so Der truth, and it might easily take it's form"

PEACE DWELLS IN
 WORLDS FINEST REPUBLIC, ANDORRA
Greetings From It's Head to President Wilson Are
 Pleasantly Worded.

New York, Oct 19- Lawrence Grant arrived recently on the French liner Chicago from Bordeaux, with a letter from the president of the smallest re- public in the world Ito the President of the greatest republic. The letter is from Pedro Front, Syndic-General of Andorra, to President Wilson
 Andorra is situated on the south slope of the Pyreness Mountains, be- tween the French department of Ariege and the Spanish province of Lerida, and it's independence is said to date from the time of Charlenagne about 79o A. D. It's entire area is about 175 square miles, and it's pop ulation less than 5000.
 The letter of the Syndfc-Genera1. ac cording to MT. Grant, speaks of his in terest in the great republic of the United States, and congratulates Presi dent Wilson on the successful way he has handled the European situation. The president says that his republic is ready to lend it's feeble voice toward a peace conference. Pedro Front is outbreak of the war, which was sirrai- liar to that issued by President Will son.
 The people of Andorra are the hardest race of people I have ever seen" said MT. Grant. They are also one O1 l11S most cOnIenIed races. No body is poor and nobody is rich. The Presidents salary is two cheeses, two capons and ham from each of the six little counties or states each year He is elected by the house of Repre- sentatives for a term of four years.
 Medical treatment is furnished the citizens of the smallest republic free'' said MT. Grant. Doctors are paid by the State. Drugs cost nothing unless you want something that the druggist has to send out of the country for That should be of much interest to Americans he added with asmiIe
 There is only one road in the coun- try and that does not run it's entire length continued MT. Grapt. Even where the road has been<built it is often blocked by ava1anches and al- most the only method of travel is on horseback. the country has. however, twenty-five miles of the most perfect trout streams in the world.
 'The food Is not very good, but if you are not particular about eating and enjoy pleasing liquids you will be offered more varieties than you can think of. The average Malaga wine is not strong enough for the people of Andorra, they make what they call Malaga cult. Very good-just one drink! More than one is too much''

"Oh! I'm so glad to see you," she
breathed with an air of relief as Ken

''Why-what is the natter" asked
Craig anxiously.
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
biously. but Kennedy did not notice
him, for. as he approached Elaine. she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed it a letter and handed it to
him.
Craig took it and read:

day you will die unless you discharge

At the signature of the Clutching
Hand he frowned, then, noticing Doc
tor Hayward, turned to him and re-
peated his question, What is the mat

Doctor Hayward continued shaking
his head. Il cannot diagnose her

There seemed to be faint odor, al
most as if of garlic. in the room 1t
was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted, he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty, under the
bed Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
Whats the matter with Rusty?" he
asked is he sick, too?"
why, yes" answered Elaine, fol-
lowing Craig with her deep eyes.
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room.
Rusty crouched down close to the
floor. His nose was hot and dry and
feverish. He was plainly Ill.
How long has Rusty been in the
room?" asked Craig.
Gall night" answered Elaine. II
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
May l take Rusty along with me?"
Craig asked finally.
Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, "only be gentle with him. -
"Of course" he said simply. Il
thought that ! might be able to dis
cover the trouble from studying him. "
We stayed only a few minutes
longer, for Kennedy seemed to realize
the necessity of doing something i'm
mediately, and even Doctor Hayward
was fighting in the dark.
Back in the laboratory, Kennedy set
to work Immediately, brushing every.
thing else aside. He began by draw

Kennedy had evidently considered
my objection already.

ly, "but Elaine is dying ard we've got
to see this thing through"
As he spoke, he took an automatic
from a drawer of cabinet and thrust
it into his pocket Then he went to
another drawer and took out several
sections of thin tubing, which seemed
to be made to fasten together as a
fishing pole is fastened, but were now
separate, as if ready for travelling.
Then he went out / followed, still

Following the directions that Mi

Craig led me into one of the toughest
parts of the lower West side.

stopping across the street from a
dingy Raines law hotel.

his notebook again.

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystif1ed by a

Quickly Craig made one test after

THAT? That is an instrument

work.
I watched him, fascinated at his re-
sourcefulness. He stealthily thrust
the mirror end of the periscope out
of the window and up toward the cor.

gazed eagerly through the eye-piece.

SECOND SQUAD
FROM WABASH
WHIPS QUAkERS

Wabash simply toyed with Elrlham
Saturday on Reid field and won by
the score of IS to 0. The visitors
could have made almost any score
they desired but after making two
touchdowns and feeling the local team
out they showed how easy they
thought they were by sending in the
entire second string.
Earlham never had a chance against
the sturdy and experienced Wabash
men,
They tried forward passes and
straight football without making any
appreciable gains. The visitors second
team simply tore through the Quakers
and broke up their formations with
ease. What the second team did the
first eleven accomplished with greater
ease.
Two of their touchdowns were made
on intercepted forward passes and the
others by forward passes and straight
football.
One feature of the game was the
work of Eden Mills and he is the only
man on Earlham who made any kind
of showing at all. His punts were
long and low and he was the only
member of the squad who appeared to
know anything about lacking.
All the other boys went after their
men high and were easily eluded
Prospects of Earlham winning a
game this season are far from bright

on Saturday.
