FORGIVEN ACTS

PARIS. April 2S.-The allies will
never lay down arms until their
sword has reduced evil to impotency
and has broken iniquity." declared
President Poincare at the opening
Of the International Economic con-
ference, attended by representatives
Of the allies. today.
"The Central empires can never
hope to return to their former
state" added Poincare. Their n.y.
pocrisy makes II impossible for
them to efface their barbarous
deeds. They have done too much.
II is their Zeppelin fleets which,
during the nights. hurl burning
bombs upon sleeping cities. II is
their submarines which sink inof-
fensive passenger ships. II is their
paid bands of spies which seek 10
sow corruption throughout the en-.
tire world. II is their soldiers who
have shot down noble nurses"

This was his own pistol, too-thls

with the idea. as a child morbidly
bites on a sore tooth. She knew
little of firearms. But she had heard
that IL trigger were pressed hard
enough
She dio not know just how hard
one needed TO tug. before the pistol
would go of. And, experimentally,
she frightened her forefinger around
the trigger.
There was a fiash-a roar that re-
verberated through the whole loose
doored apartments pungent smoke
cloud filed the little room.
Mrs. Wigs, half dressed, heard
the report. Flinging long cloak
around her, she dashed down the
hall Outside OF Elsie's door she
paused. No sound came from inside
She was about TO turn the knob,
when IL occurred TO her that Martel,
who had doubtless fired the shot,
might very possibly put n second
bullet into her own head should she
break in upon the scene OF carnage.
Sn she ned down the passageway
and down the stairs and out into the
midnight city.
In the studio street. a throng OF
jewellers were making night hideous
with their racket. Horns, rattles,
confetti. "ticklers,' cowbells, ticker

wrecking devices were In evidence.
A mimic battle had sprung up in the
middle OF the walk. Groups OF by
