planes and other dirigibles flying over
other positions were sending in word
of the same tenor. The chiefs drew
around the table and looked into one
another's eyes in the significance OF
common thought.

vice-chief.
Hardly. That is inconceivable OF
Westerling at this time" Lanstron re-
piled. The bull charges when wound
ed. 1t is clear that he means to make
another attack. These troops on the
march across country are isolated

1t was Lanstron's way to be sug-
gestive; to let ideas develop in eoun-
Gil and orders follow as out Of council.

builded a reputation on it If he knew
how to get the ear of the press. Their

leaned toward him eagerly. He seemed
not to see them but to be looking at
Partow's chair. In imagination Par
tow was there in life-Partow with
the dome forehead, the pendulous
cheeks, the shrewd, kindly eyes. A
daring risk, this! What would Partow
say? Lanstron always asked himself
this in a crisis: What would Partow

This brought fresh alarm into faces
which had become set in grim stoicism
by many alarms. If the people were IN

in ignorance of the nations feeling.
the officers Of the staff were no less in
ignorance of what passed over the
long-distance wire between the chief
of staff and the premier.

Westerling continued, driving home his
point. Tell our commanders to hold.
Neither general nor man is to bulge.
They are to stick to the death. Any
one who does not l shall hold up to
public shame as a poltroon. Who
knows but Lanstron's attack may be
a council of desperation? The Browns
may be worse off than we are. Hold,

of resolution to turn the tide of battle.

CHAPTER Xxx.
TURNING the Tables.

Through the door which the aide
had left open the division chiefs, led
by Turcas, filed in. To Westerling
they seemed like procession Of
ghosts. The features of one were the
features of all, craven with the weari-
ness of the machines treadmill. Their
harness held them up. A moving plat
form under their feet kept their legs
moving. They grouped around the

library. All the greater his success lot
being won against skepticism and
fears. He summoned his chiefs OF
divisions, who came with the news
that the Browns had taken the very
redoubt from which the head OF the
Gray charge had started; but there
they had stopped.
"Of course! OF course they stopped!'
exclaimed Westerling. They are not
mad. A few are not going to threw

Meanwhile, well get that mob of ours

them lose their nerve. Tomorrow

again."
The staff exchanged glances OF

how they think the problem should be
dealt with. Mr. Lansing and his as
sistants have been Canyassing the en-
tire field Of law and policy presented
by the German note and the president
already had received some Of the
memoranda bearning on important
points.
Emphasis has been laid in official
quarters on the fact that the issues
involved are Of such seriousness and
importance that consideration for
week or more Of the kind Of reply
that should be made ought not to be
construed as meaning that the neces-
sty for a firm definition Of American
policy was underestimated.
So far as can be gathered here, the
president will find his advisers prac-
tically unanimous in the belief that
the crucial point in the correspond

warfare has arrived and that II the
German government is not to recede
