CHAPTER LXH.


NCopyflSht, 1916, Star Coz
Mr. Evans, the minister of the
Dutch Reformed Church in Milton,
vas perturbed in his mind. A great
#hadow had fallen upon his parish.
Not only had wealthy member of his
ongregation been murdered, but,
most dreadful of all, suspicion rested
pom the young wife of this man,
glrI whom he had known from
er childhood.
OF course. he, MIR. Evans, was

old hlmself and his wife this, al
hough he had no proofs to sub
s2ntiate his statements. And the
~ that his inner consciousness
cquitted her would not avail in
zaw. There, facts and evidence
lone would count.
The minister refused to discuss
he matter with anyone except the
lie of his bosom. Indeed, all the
lckening suspicious were referred
o in whispers or low tones in the
mage In which Jane had always
een a favorite. 1t was shocking,

This last question was not asked

in either case, the bodice and skirt are
cut in one. In the picture, one of the new

exceedingly easy one to make, yet one
of the smartest possible. AS a matter Of

countless others had started, never to
come back alive. For every stranger
in Siberia is looked on with suspi-

 and would have material effect upon
 the exchange of securities between the
 two countries.
 As the Deutschland was inspected by American naval officers when she ar rived at Baltimore on her first trip, no doubt is entertained here of her status as an unarmed merchantmen. The cus-
 toms officers have reported that appa- |rently no changes have been made and that she carries no armament. Treasury and state department officials con- ferred late today, and decided that strict enforcement of neutrality re-
 quired another naval inspection and the navy department was asked to have it made. It is probable that officers stationed at New London will be de- tailed for the task.

It was a kind of experiment It was not a course to attract the profession al nor lure the critical player from the better and more hazardous links. But it appealed to hundreds of people. The number grew and finally the proposi- tion proved such success that the links were declared too small.
 The people of the city-yes, the peo- ple-practically demanded another and better course. Thousands who could never have paid a membership fee in golf club had learned the game and they liked it. They called for an 1S- hole course and one with hazards that would delight the heart of a Chick Evans. And the city government of Omaha. strange to say, yielded to the voice of the people.

Germans Comment More on Wilson's Cincinnati Talk

Berlin November 1--(Via London. ) President Wilson's speech at Cincin- nati last Thursday is printed at con- siderable length today and has been received by the newspapers with vary ing degrees of comment-from the ex- pressed belief that his suggestion of the necessity for a society of na- tions" is simply unavoidable and i'm practicable to the outspoken claim that it is inspired by ambition for Anglo American mastery of the world
 Some of the newspapers. like the Lokal Anzeiger, think that the carry ing out of President Wilson's ideas would actually provoke rather than hinder war in the future and insist that if repeated determination of the entente allies to annihilate the central powers constitutes on the very face of things an unaccountable obstacle The Loka1 Anzeiger advises President Wilson to induce Great Britain to alter it's desires in this direction if he does not wish to lay himself open to the suspicion of lusting for world power,

Omaha has tried the municipal golf course idea.
 Therefore Omaha has constructed a second and larger course for the use of the people of that city.
 Sometime ago the Nebraska metrop- oils, joining the ranks of other pro- gressive cities throughout the country, constructed a nine-hole municipal golf course at Miller Park. There were many who said that the people would not avail themselves of the new play ground that only the rich would or could play golf and they already had the opportunity at the country clubs. But despite the skeptics. Omaha built the Miller Park links

NO MISUNDERSTANDING
MAIL SERVICE PROPOSED

Washington. November 1.--Interest here in the arrival of the German mer- chant submarine Deutschland at New London, Conn.,. on her second voyage centered today largely on negotiations for establishing a submarine line mail service between the United States and Germany.
 The postoffice department let it be known that it was prepared to accept a proposal made through the German embassy that the Deutschland and any sister ship that may ply out of Ameri- can ports carry not more than 800 pounds of first class mail at the reg ular transatlantic rates. Details of the arrangement will be worked out
 at conferences between officials of the
 embassy and the department and it is
 hoped that an agreement may be
 reached in time for the Deutschland to
 take her first consignment of mail
 when she sails from New London.
