She tucked q couple Of large shell
pins into her side braids and looked
past Andy's head absently.
The colonel expressed himself as
delighted over her aloofness. Even
to the colonel she was aloof, and he
was owner Of the st. Dimitri. She
gazed past his handsome head quite
as nonchalantly as she had past
Andy's.

The colonel rambled of luxurious

when his cigar burned out he saun-

to the telephone desk, and began with
his very best Georgia manner.

TO STUMP COUNTRY
FOR PREPAREDNESS
President Wilson Will Garry Message
Straight to The American People,
And Will Probably Begin With
Speech in Baltimore.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-President
Wilson means to carry his fight for
military preparedness straight to the
American people. Moreover, he in
tends to ask popular approval Of his
policy toward Mexico and the effort
he has made to maintain peaceful
relations with all the world.
In order to personally present
these matters to the country, the
President will launch upon a 10 days
or two weeks speaking tour about
February 1. He will penetrate the
East and the Middle West and, for
the first time since he was inaugural
| ed, he will make an extended swing
through the South.
The itinerary for this trip has not
been determined upon, but 1t is in
course of preparation and is likely to
begin with a speech in Baltimore,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, ST. Louis and
Birmingham will probably be visited.
It was stated at the White House
this afternoon that Baltimore seemed
| to be the most convenient point for
the opening address.
The decision to make this trip was
not reached hurriedly. 1t has been
weeks, but definite understanding
as to the time when it should begin
was not arrived at, it seems, until
the Cabinet met today. At all events
| no announcement was made until the
President had talked it over with his
Cabinet advisers.
It is no secret here that the Ad-
ministration's defense program is in
grave danger of revision down
ward" if not of actual defeat. This
has been apparent since the day Con-
gress assembled, and many of the
Presidents friends doubt if the plan
I can be saved without frank appeal
to the country for support.
AS has already been stated, public
pressure is absolutely necessary to
guard the defense proposals of the
War and Navy Departments from
emasculation. Such pressure has not
heretofore been potential enough to
save the situation, though signs are
not wanting that the people are rea-
lizing the necessity of immediate and
forceful action.
The primary purpose of the Presi-
dents speaking trip is to impress up
on the country the importance OF full
and adequate preparedness legisla-
ton. He will not alarm the people.
but will seek to show that the ma
tons security can only be achieved
by more effective defense machinery
and the nations rights can be better
enforced if the power is present to
back them up.

Allan smiled. He was the colonels
private secretary, and the two got to
work over the new booklet. Ruth
grew to love the work. And the colo
mel bided his own time, satisfied to
know she was drawing $35 week in
stead of $12, with a tidy little suite
at the hotel thrown in for good meas

enough, he thought, and he strolled
over to the avenue one day and en-
joyed himself supremely selecting q
diamond ring for her.
The day before Christmas he came
into the inner private office unexpect-
eddy and found Ruth standing by the
window, gazing down at the park
while Allan talked to her. They did
not notice the colonels entrance, and
he stood In silence listening. AS he

nothing but love-he knew all at once
that here was what she needed and
he could not give it to her-young
love in all it's splendor and divinity.
He went out noiselessly.
Later, Allan came to him, his clean
shaver young face radiant with new
confidence.

EUROPE BUYS AND SELLS
CONDENSED MILK.

American condensed milk Is enjoy.
Ing vogue in Europe that Il never
knew In peaceful times. The exports
from this country In 1915 amounted to
I6.ooO. 600 pounds. valued at $4,000. 600,
according to figures furnished by the
bureau OF foreign and domestic com.
merce. and the bulk OF these exports
went TO Europe. In normal times the
value OF condensed milk sold abroad
varies between si.OOo.OOO and $1,000.
600 and ordinarily the best customers
are Cuba. Panama. China and Mexico.
The increased exports OF condensed
milk In Europe are easy to explain,
under the circumstances. but there
has been an increase In imports from
European countries that is puzzling.
ltaly's recent participation in the
American trade has caused some com
ment. but the fact that Holland and
Switzerland sold much larger quaint
ties OF milk in the United States in
1915 than ever before is considered
more remarkable. for these two coun
tries have access to practically al
markets In Europe. The total imports
into the United States from all coun
tries In 1915 were valued at practical
~ s2,OOO,OOO. or one-third OF the ex
ports. and although Canada furnished
more than half. Holland did business
approximatlng 100000 as against lesi
than 100000 the year previous
Switzerland now is selling to us at I
rate OF s25O.OOO a year. where formerl,
practically no milk came from tina
country.
