The supreme court in its verbal deci-

the w. l.. Peterson case from the files,
but ordered certain deletions to be
made in the brief, which was fled in
the upper court on behalf Of Peterson.
About 400 words were ordered to be

the ground that they were not material
or pertinent, and these are a few of
the samples:

And again:
perhaps the attitude of the court
may be partly explained by the. fact
that the judge has been practitioner fol
so many years that he has 80 gotten in

the trial was farce and 9

Peterson was charged with offending

And the End Is Not Yet a

government absolutely has to have more money.
Representative Fitzgerald of New York. chair
man of the committee appropriations, stated on
June % that congress had appropriated to that
date, the enormous total Of 81 400 330479. This
total does not include appropriations for the next
fiscal year Of $lS82oo000 for the navy, $l43OO-
900 for fortihcations and $272495O for rivers and
harbors. Adding these to the sums already voted
makes the hinge total exceed $lJ04,o45,0OO
How to bleed the American people for more
money is getting to be pretty serious problem
back in Washington. The Democrats have elevated
the cost Of government seventy per cent in three
and third years and it does not require that a
man be mathematician to figure where would
be IL the administration is continued in power
another four years. AT $l7 per capita it costs the
bread-winner Of family Of FIVE, (the American
ayerage) $S5 year to support the federal gov
eminent, or his entire wages for thlrtyiour calen-
der days out of every twelve months that he is
employed. This CALCULATION is based on the aver
age of 1925 earned by American bread winners.
This explains why the administration, having
spent more money than there in the national
treasury, is now trying to fitch three hundred
millions of dollars from the pockets of those who
have earned it, from the widows and orphans,
from merchants brokers and business men gem

Industrial Preparedness

TINE naval consulting board reports most
u gratifying results in its efforts to secure an
industrial inventory of the country's manufacture
ing and producing resources. Thirty thousand
members of the American Society of Civil En-
eineers, the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers. the American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers, the American Institute of Electrical En-
pineers and the American Chemical Society have
given their services and assistance to this work
Howard L. Coffin, chairman OF the committee.
reported this day month ago that almost with
out exception the business men of America have
responded with the most intelligent patriotism
and the deepest interest in this close-knt move
nent for a thorough going industrial prepared
ness"
"a few manufacturers have doubted the ability
of their plants to he lp the government in war
i time. They have almost invariably changed their
views" he said, when shown how little doubt
there is that the outbreak of practically all
concerns not engaged in lines of work not essen
tial to the national needs would be stripped Of
tIeir labor, either for the army for manning
other industrial plants vital for the supply OF such
needs In the event of hostilities probably eighty
per cent of the industries of America would have
to be concentrated the production OF the
myrads of elements of twentieth century warfare.
The naval commission recommends that small
educational orders be given every year to every
factory in the United States. The idea is that
every manufacturer should know how to produce
at least one article of munitions war supplies
so that should come there will be the least
possible time lost in getting the country on war
basis.
The skilled, swift and abundant production OF
munitions is necessary a part OF preparation
for war the drilling of soldiers Soldiers can be
drilled in six months but skilled mechanics can
not be created short of six years in some of the
engineering trades. The business organizations
who are back OF this movement are demanding
that congress should pass laws making this educa
tional work mandatory as well as systematic.
"The great has taught the astonishing
adaptability of national industries when properly
nyentored and organized" the report says. 'lt
has been learned, for instance, that dye factory
can be transformed within one week into plan
for the production OF high explosives. The com
mittee of industrial preparedness, enlsting as i
has the best scientific and commercial brains il
the country, thoroughly understands all this anC
is guiding its labors thereby"
4 The results so far achieved would seem strongl,
to confirm Chairman Collins initial statement tina
Sin the twentieth century, nations are defended
not alone by fighting men but by fighting in
dustries,"- and that the life of government il
time of war rests more fully with the resource
OF properly organized industry as the foundation
rock of true national defense than with tn
marshalling OF troops.

there, the antidote for that particular
poison, since it was important that Ali
Singh should always be able to restore
as well as destroy his victims con-
sciousness.
Affecting the utmost concern for her
friend, she ran to her, thrust aside the
thugs and, while f1inging a protecting
arm around Margaret's neck, contrived
to slip a small phial into her bodice.
1t was a desperate expedient, but she
never knew when opportunity might
come to their aid. Several times al
ready had they been snatched from
their captors by Manning's unfagging
devotion, and should they be rescued
again she would have the means of
counteracting the noxious agent, what
soever 1t might be, which her uncle had
introduced into the girls system.
Her own ordeal came next, however.
Margaret was led off, and Malta found
herself yielding despairingly to Ali
Singh's mesmeric eyes, Soon she pass
ed from the receptive stage to that of
willing compliance. She awoke into a
new world, with Ali Singh's haunting
words ringing In her ears:
"Your love Of Manning and the Chris
tian creed is not forgotten. You are
the slave Of my will. You will do my
bidding with the fanatic devotion of
true oriental. Salaam, then, o prin-
cess Of the east!'
The girl rose to her feet, bowed deep
ly with a sweeping gesture of each
hand, sank on one knee and, taking Ali
Singh's cold fingers In hers, pressed her
| lips to them.
"Go" he commanded with mock
ing smile. when need you 1 shall
send for you"
She had hardly left the room before
All Singh strobe swiftly to another
door and threw it wide. He entered
a chamber reeking with the fumes of
opium.
A weird scene met his eyes. Hong
Kong Harry, securely dashed to iron
rings in the wall, was writhing in
agony and shouting like a maniac.
Yet beyond the constraint Of the
manacles the half caste was not in
physical pain. He was suffering from
torment only to be comprehended
by those who have seen a dope fiend
deprived Of the means Of gratifying a
besial craving. Directly in front Of
him stood table with a plentiful sup
ply Of opium, together with the lamp
used for cooking the deadly little pills.
His condition was pitiful, but excit-
ed no pity. All Singh looked at him
flxedly, and Katisha, who seemed to
become aware Of her leaders presence
in the room, crept In with catlike tread,
her expressive features showing that

ence Of the master fiend and subject
ed by him to long and penetrating
scrutiny.
The man was thinking deeply, but
neither of the girls could even begin to
fathom his purpose. Poor creatures.
They imagined he was planning some
torture which would eventuate in their
death.
In reality nothing was further from
Ali Singhs mind at that moment. He
was, in fact, weighing the pros and
cons of several methods whereby these
helpless girls could be used to strike a
lasting terror into the hearts of Enrol
Manning and the authorities Of the
United States.
At last, apparently, he determined
what course to pursue and uttered a
sharp command to a couple of the
wretched minions who were so ready
to obey his every behest. He spoke in
an eastern tongue, which Malta, Of
course, understood, but Margaret Bron-
son shrieked in natural terror when
the men seized her, dragged her for
ward and held her rlght arm pared
while Ali Singh plunged a hypodermic
syringe under her delicate skin.
The pain was negligible, however,
and she Gained herself on realizing
that the dose was probably nothing
more harmful than morphia.
Malta knew better. She was now
fairly well acquainted with the mans
reconcile methods and had noticed that
he took the dope from a particular pi-
geonhole of many in the big roll top
desk which formed part Of the furni-
ture in the laboratory.
She happened to be near it and with
a swift, stealthy movement suggestive
of her own eastern blood inserted a
hand in the compartment and drew
forth what she knew she would find

the depth Of Hong Kong Harry's tribu-
lation was the measure Of her own joy.
At the sign from ALI Singh the opium
smokers removed the pipes and drug
and then unfastened the half caste
who instantly threw himself on his
knees and besought Ali Singh either
to give him opium or kill him. He
groveled on the floor like a fawnine
dog, but his master spurned him with
contemptuous feet and shouted to the
others:
Away with the traitorous wretch
Not yet must his agony be soothed."
The two men lifted Harry to his feet.
He shrieked in shrill falsetto and
flung them off, rushing in at Ali Singh
with outstretched hands as though he
would tear the monsters throat. But
the strain had been too great. He
tottered and fell in a dead faint,
whereupon he was dragged out like SO
much carrion.
Later that day a patrOlman, loung-
ing through a hot and dusty beat on
the west side Of the city, came upon a
half demented giM, whom he at once
recognized as Margaret Bronson! Full
descriptions Of her and Malta and
Hong Kong Harry had been circulated
by the police department, since it was
never known when or where one OF
the other might be found. whether
alive or dead.
The policeman's first care was to
ask how she came to be in that par
ticular place. She could only give q
rambling and incoherent answer. so he
hailed taxi and took her to Police
Captain Kemp's headquarters.
There, after few minutes Of sym
pathetic attention by the astounded
Kemp, she was Joined by her lover

advance of a weakness which threat
ened to rob Judson of all fortitude and
power Of resistance. And, to add to
his torture, that harpy Of the east,
Katisha, sat and gloated over his fast
diminishing strength, reminding him
of some great sleek cat watching with
malign anticipation for the fall of a
wounded bird it had discovered hutter-
ing desperately on branch just out of
reach.
Then, as his weakness increased,
came swirling dreams which chased
each other in and out Of his brain
dreams Of all the wonders he had
planned to accomplish through the per-
lection of his invention.
The world was to be revolutionized
War was to die Of sheer impotence,
since nothing could withstand the fury
OF quadrfnolite. But ever and always
1t was to be used for the good Of man
kind and the advancement Of civiliza-
ton.
In the heart of these dreams, how
ever, there lurked always, behind some
uCdNy ftll Va Dduh VI ClOuu, Lie BiulS-
ter figure Of Ali Singh. And when it
emerged and famed him with its fetid
breath he would wake with start to
find Katisha leering at him In expec-
tant triumph.
She would demand Of him in some
eastern tongue what he knew to be a
surrender Of his precious secret, and
each time that he managed to shake
his head in negation he wondered if
the next awakening would find him
nerveless to defend his treasure and
the welfare of mankind.
There came nightmare that out
distanced all the others. He fancied
that he could see each drop of blood
as 1t was drawn from the fast thinning
arteries falling-a horrible tollLinto
the hand Of the enemy Of mankind
He walked In agony from a vision
which seemed to him prophetic. With
his life would vanish for all time the
secret of the completion Of his inven-
ton, his creation. No one save him

self knew its hiding place. In case of
death it was improbable that it would
ever be found or used, as the formula
| was not labeled in any way. Though
Ali Singh had it not, Judson's brother
men would lose Its benefits. Better to
win back his few remaining years and
trust to some higher power to save
his nfework from the thieving hands
Of Ali Singh He might be able to
temporize. Help might come even at
this eleventh hour from relenting fate.
| Hoping to temporize. In broken words
he signified to his hated jailer that he
, wished to speak with her master. He
was too exhausted to note her baleful
| joy at his surrender and fell back in
faint on the pillow.
Burning with eagerness to carry to
her sovereign lord the glad news of
Judson's conquest, Katisha raced
through the hallway in search Of Ali
Singh.
She found him in his laboratory
wearing mask and with glass globe
in his hands, which, on hearing her
message, he deposited carefully on the
table. Then he quickly removed the
mask, picked up a small case and fol-
! lowed her to the room where Judson
lay unconscious.
It took some time to revive the far
spent man. Ali Singh at once remov-
ed the bandage arrangement; then he
took a hypodermic syringe out Of its
case and injected something into the
wounded arm. But the drug was very
slow in taking effect, and he began to
fear that he had done his work too
thoroughly. Not in vain, however, had
he counted on the iron constitution Of
the inventor. After an anxious inter-
val the faint flicker of an eyelid show
ed that strength was returning. Soon
the weary eyes opened and looked
with shuddering adherence into his.

maddening politeness. "Have no fear
