Senatorial Candidate Harry NJ
Daugherty has disposed of farther
pretension of the governor of Ohio for
membership in the Republican party.
In a statement at Marysville Daugh-
erty said that "a real Republican Is
a man who is proud Of the record OF
Lincoln and Mckinley and the
achievements of the Republican par
ty and who courageously supported
either the Progressive or the Repub-
lican ticket in 1912, ETC." In 1912, Mr..
Daugherty, then the chairman OF the
Republican state executive commit
tee, minced no words In expressing
his opinion Of the Progressives whom
he termed traitors, and said In an
open statement that he did not know
who Frank B. Willis. then candidate
for congress, was supporting. He
tried to find out but failing, resorted
to the statement Of ignorance. Willis
did not utter word, either orally or
written, in that campaign to show for
whom he intended to vote for presi-
dent. Still he is now presuming to
lay down party law for others. But
iDaugherty's Marysville speech corked
him with that word "courageously."

NSAANA h%hSOAN
which has been from the start of the
war sort Of clearing house for Amer
lean relief.
Because OF her pathetic experience at
the outbreak OF the war, Belgium at
racted the early efforts of American
relief organizations. The need for help
was 30 great, the invaded country was
so completely overwhelmed that the
nations of Europe came to Belgium's
rescue on vast scale. The people of
the United States, prompt to respond
to this call, have contributed thus far
nearly $9,O00,000 for the Belglans. The
total contributions for Belgian relief
arc placed at $115,OOO,OO0.
While the bulk OF the relief work
done in this country goes to aid the
allies, yet great deal is being done to
help the unfortunates In the Germanic
countries. Not so much Is heard about
this branch OF American relief work,
but 1t Is nevertheless being prosecuted
with vigor.
There is. in the case of the German
Austrian relief work. no central agency
in this country through which the re-
suits are reported. For this reason 1t
Is not possible to give with exactness
the amount OF aid being furnished by
the American people to the Teutonic
nations. Prominent Germans who are
interesting themselves in the matter
estimate that $5,0O0,0O will cover the
aid thus far sent from this country Ia
Teutonic sufferers.
Among the most active OF the con.
splcuous Americans engaged I'm the wal
relief work Is the Hon. Robert Bacon
former ambassador to France. While
MIR. Bacon has given especial attention
to the American Ambulance hospital In
Paris, of which organization he is
chairman of the board of governors, he
also has followed with keen interest
other phases OF the relief work II
which the people OF the United State!
are interested.
"rhe deepest appreciation ls felt b!
the people abroad" Mr., Bacon said
"for what the United States has done

tions, This know. Especially do the.

I is being done. They feel that the pee

says a well-known physician. a

well flushed from the stomach, liver,

San Francisco river. The envoy sent
on his track by the judges orders
had reached Piranhas to find the little
town in apathetic wonder over the dis
covery of Gerry's canoe stranded three
miles down the river. The paddle was
still in the canoe and suit of pyja-
mas. No further trace of Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re-
covered The people said 1t was not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at
tackled by tiger fish. In that case his
bones would have been stripped of
flesh. 1t was impossible to drag the
great river.
The Judge hid in his heart the har-
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. She was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that it was not time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her off
with false news of the search. They
carried it farther and farther into the
wilds of the subcontinent. The coun-
try was so vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
Alix bore the strain with wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith-all her strength Of body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermost self with which a woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
fee. Alix was not afraid. In those
days the spirit of the race-her race
of pioneers-shone from her steady
eyes and even put courage in those
about her.
Only when the ordeal was over and
an heir to the house Of Lansing had
raised his lusty voice in apparent rage
at having been born to so small
kingdom. did the frail Alix of other
days come back. AS she lay, pale and
thin, but with the glorious light Of
supreme achievement in her eyes, Mrs.
Lansing went on her knees beside the
bed and sobbed, "Oh. Alix. love you
so, lore you sol"

Gerry Lansing was sitting alone IL
the shade of a bush his knees gath
cred in his arms and his head bowed
down. Great quivering signs that
were almost sobs were shaking his
strong body. In one terrific swirl
life had wrenched him from the moor
ings Of generations, tossed him high
and dropped him, broken. Between
the moment when he had plunged
from the sandspit and the moment
when he and the girl had stood on the
river bank and laughed together to see
the canoe, worked adrift by the eddy,
swirl out into the river and away,
cons had passed. In that laughing
moment he had stood primeval man In
a primeval world. With the drops of
water from the river he had flicked
off the bonds it had taken centuries
to forge And now his truant con-
science returned to stand dismayed.
The girl, dressed in a homespun
cotton robe belted at the waist, came
back down a half-hidden path, shyly
at first and then with awe to see
him weeping. She tossed him a cot
ton jumper and trousers and then drew
back and waited for him in the path.
He rose slowly to his feet, dressed and
followed the girl.
She led him along the path through
the brush and out into little valley
made up of abandoned cane and rice
bottoms. In the center was slight
elevation, too low to be called hill,
and on it was an old plantation house,
white stucco once. now ssdly weather,
streaked, its tiles green black with the
moss Of years.

Gerry's cablegram to his mother was
forwarded to Red Hill on the very day
that the judge had gone to tell them
that no trace could be found of the
missing man. The judge was more
down-hearted than ever over Gerry S

two months, Gerry could be here.
Spring would have come. The Hill
would be decked out in full regalia of
leaf and blossom. 1t would be in full
commission to meet him. They looked
at Alix and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
as never before.
The judge undertook the cabling.
He cabled Gerry and the message was
reported undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
a long series of messages; first quick
and hopeful, then tagging but not
doubtful, then wearying silence of
weeks, ending with the inevitable
blow. Gerry had been traced to the
