upon the lowest rung, and soon he
was tapping at the window pane

Amy opened the window with lit

she whispered, and her arms clung to
his neck Very carefully he lifted her
down to the top rung of the creaking,
swaying ladder, and thence, rung by
rung, down to the ground.
A moment later they were creeping
through the darkness toward the hid
den auto.
Now the girl was inside, and Roger
was desperately cranking when a sud
den shout rang out behind him. Il
was old Bannister, and he was rushing
toward them. In his hand was the
CLINT OF a revolver.
Roger leaped into the auto and
started away as the frenzied old man
drew near, He sped down the road
toward the boundary of the state. ten
miles away where a marriage could
be performed without the formality Of
a license.
But he had hardly left the house
behind him when old Bannister's auto
was heard chugging along behind him.
Now ensued a weird race through
the shadows. Roger let her out to the
limit AS he ran his mind revolvet

1t was hard to throw the old man Off

now the state line was crossed, and
at length Roger, with Amy clinging to
him in terror and Joy, had thrown the
pursuers off the track among the
houses and winding streets of the su-
burban town.
Roger dashed toward his friends
house. He pulled up, left the auto at
the doorstep and hammered vigor-

And as the blows of Mr.. Bannis-

through the house, Amy was saying "l
will"
The Rev. Hugh Hughes opened the
door You're too late" he said to
Mr., Banister.
The old man strobe forward and
surveyed the couple with an intensely
self-satisfied smile.

chuckled, gripping Roger by the hand.

CORPORATIONS ARE ENCOURAGING MEN
 TO JOIN MILITIA
Naval Branch of the Military Has the Services of Hundreds of Workers-Forms FOrmid-
 able Naval Reserve

Washington, January 1.-An increasing
 interest among corporations and business houses generally in encouraging employees to enlist in the naval militia is shown in the annual report of Capt F. B. Bassett, Jr.. chief of the naval militia bureau. Many concerns the past year have granted enlisted men in their employ spe- cial leave on full pay for attendance at training camps, without deducting the time from regular vacations.
 The S312 officers and men now in the naval militia, Captain Bassett says, form a very valuable reserve for the navy in time of need. Full application of re- gently revised militia laws has resulted in satisfying progress in numbers and eff ciency, the report adds, but further re- vision is recommended to extend the free mailing privilege of the army and navy to the militia, to grant federal employees leave to attend militia schools and camps and to allow offenders against discipline on naval cruises to be tried by court-mar- tial under state laws by their own officers.

WILL NOT REQUEST HAMPTON OF THE AUSTR|ANS AT ONCE
Ancona Note of Austria Was One of the Most Heartless Documents
 Ever Written
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 1.-(Special. )-The 1t was announced late this afternoon, be- fore demanding of Austria an expIana- ton for the apparently wanton destruc- ton of the British liner Persia Thursday afternoon in the Mediterranean.
 The disaster, following so closely on the "satisfactory" adjustment of the Ancona scandal, shocked official Washaston. W hile it is regarded as probable that Aus- tria will contend that it's promises to abandon it's submarine warfare against passenger laden vessels had not been com municated to all it's commanders, it is held locally that on account of the length of the Ancona disputation such could easily have been done in time to prevent the destruction of the Persia
 While the government has unofficially stated that it is satisfied with the final Austrian note in that the Austro-Hunga- rian government agreed with the Ameri- can principle of humanitarianism, Aus tria's confession to a deliberate murder, beyond palliation, is the subject of intense though unofficial speculation.
 In it's note, Austria confesses that the commander of the submarine, knowing the crew of the Ancona to have deserted and that passengers, still aboard, were in panic, torpedoed the boat, thus mak- ing of the note one of the most heartless documents produced since the German admission that it had raped. because of the eXigences of war, the country of Belgium.
 Austria declares that it has punished the commander, but does not say how se- verely, or when or where such punish ment was administered. Austria prom ises to indemnify Americans for loss of American life but does not say when or to what extent And Austria reserves the right further to discuss with the Uni- ted States the difficult question of sub marine warfare.
 The unofficial statement of the Amer ican government that it is delighted Wiih the result of the diplomatic controversy may or may not be amended, as result of it's investigation into the destruction of the Persia, on which were Americans, one of them an official of the government. At any rate, the interpreted draft of Aus tria's final rejoinder to the American An coma note, and the news of the Persia dis aster, involving possibly new compllca- tions, will be placed before the President at the same moment.

osnized as almost historic in their sig nificance.
 Among specific developments of the weeks sessions the delegates have been particularly impressed by Secretary Lan- sing advocacy. in an address, of Pan Americanism that would mean ''one for all; all for one" and by the speech of Elihu Root, former Secretary of State. In which he told the Latin-American dele- gates that so long as the spirit of American freedom shall continue it shall range us side by side with you, great and small, for the maintenance of the rights of nations" The formal proposal made by the United States early in the week for a Pan-American convention for arbitration of boundary disputes and to prohibit shipments of arms to revolu- uonaries, also continued tonight an ab- sorbing topic of conversation among dele gates
 There was no session of the conrress today, meeting previously planned having been cancelled to allow the dele gates a New Years day free to make calls and fill luncheon and dinner en- agreements. Tomorrow several Washing-. ton churches will hold special services for visiting tin-Americans
