Frances said Mrs. Walter one
cold January evening. 81 wish you
would fill up the stove at once. 1t
seems to be growing colder every
minute"
In a moment Frances was pouring
coal into the big heater. which stood
in the middle of the room, Mr.. Walter,
who had just recovered from long
illness, sat before it's cheerful glow.
Il do wish, dear, you could get your
old job back, said the wife as she
busted about the table cutting bread.
'T don't know that I ought to ex-
pect it." remarked the father. THE
new station agent is an excellent man

other men have come into the posi-
ton" -.
81 think will run out to the barn
and see how Molly is getting on
said Frances. Il want to take her
some warm meal, anyway"
The house was one which sat high
on spur of the mountain and around
this spur crept the railroad like a
huge steel snake winding in and out
amid the peaks. Frances thought how
lovely the valley and mountains
looked in the purple winter evening
haze-like a glimpse of fairyland with
the great forests laden with snow and
the early moonlight sparkling on the
thick crust which covered the land.
Then down on the right she noticed
bright blaze-the bridge from Fort
Royal was afire. 1t was hidden in a
chasm in the mountains, and not a
soul would ever see it till too late
In half an hour the train through to
Washington was due.
What can l do?" exclaimed the
girl aloud Papa Is sick, and even II

It was the light in the hall closet
and she left it turned on? At the
last monument she had rushed in there
to get an umbrella-and she could
NOT remember turning off that light.
Anna would never think of looking
in the cIosets-and the apartment
would be closed for month! The
bulb was just inside the door, and a
voile dress hung against it. The con-
tinuous heat might easily set fire to
that thin material.
Only one mere block, As the take
"honked" its way through the crowd
before the station, Helen's mind was
filled with a narrowing picture of
their whole apartments in flames.
Warren leaped out, paid the driver,
and they hurried after the porter, who
trundled the trunks to the baggage
room. ~%
There were several in line waiting

telephone booths just beyond.

She heard his Hold on there.

not stop to answer.

looked up with an incredulous smile.
..Dr. Franklin, who could ever have

incredible assertion Surely you must
know how preposterous the very idea
is, | do not boast or brag, but it is
common knowledge that my father
was the richest man in this city, in
this entire country, in fact. The
thought of such thing is absurd.

Republicans Will
ATTACK THE Wilson
Mexican Policies
By The United Press.

BY The United Press
NEW YORK, July 2s.-First formal
indication that Meaico will be the
main issue on which the Republicans
will attack the Wilson administra-
ton In the presidential campaign was
contained in statement issued to-
day by National Chairman Wilcox.
The statement denied the Republi-
can party's criticism Of the handling
of the Mexican problem was dictated
by any sinister influence and bitterly
assailed Wilson's "maladministra-
tion" Of affairs there.
The Wilcox statement follows;
"All statements made in newspapers
or elsewhere to tho effect that the at
titude of the Republican party to-
wards the situation In Mexico is die
tated by any sinister influence. cor
pOrate or otherwise. are contrary to
the facts. Our interest in Mexican af-
fairs is the result solely and exclu-
sively of the administration of
American relations with Mexico and
the various Mexican factions. The
weakness Of the Wilson administra-
tiOn in dealing with the Mexican
question is so fully before the Ameri-
can people that it is a vital issue in
this campaign
ut is therefore not possible for
the Democratic party to evade the re-
sponsibility for conditions in Mexico
by ascribing Interior motives. The
issue is plain and clear-cut. II is up
to the people Of the Republican party
to insist upon the full protection OF
American citizens and American
rights"

DEUTSCHLAND CREW
Fears english SPY
ship Will FOLLOW
BY CARL ID. GR0AT
nited Press Stan Correspondent


BALTIMORE. Md. July Is
Watchers aboard the German subsea
freighter Deutschland want to see
the ships Of England go. They fear
that a plan is afloat TO have vessels
in ballast in the harbor follow the
Deutschland out TO the Capes and
accidentally" ram her. This would
save the Allied patrol a big task and
as one Of the Germans put it, the
Britsher could say "Oh, / beg par
don will pay you damages"
This fear is believed to be one Of
the compelling motives behind orders
TO delay the Deutschland's departure.
The Bremen. however, is a vital fac
tor. Stories that she has been cap
tured brought the comment from a
Deutschland official today:
Bah. she is not lost until three or
four weeks and. he added that the
Deutschlands sister ship is TOO clever
to fall into the meshes Of the Allied
patrol.
All was peaceful along the Patapsco
tdl ~ Nbuags - HNA oAnNNAA aNANNA Va
mystery still haunted the situation.
There had been a long party aboard
the Neclxar at the Deutschland pier,
some of the crew had individual par
ties ashore, rolling in during the
early hours.
The Deutschland prepared today TO
take on a pilot from the Maryland
Pilots Association. but that organi-
zation said Owen Coleman, who
brought her up river. was out Of
town and not Immediately available
for service. While Captain Zack Col
lison, OF the tug Timmons, wants
Coleman, the rules of the association
require that vessels take "the first
man out" the first man on the pilot
list.
A twenty-four hour crew is aboard
the Timmins, giving the impression
that the stay of the Deutschland is
not long. and that when she does head
out she may plan a lay-over in the
lower bay before trying to run the
Aulied patrol.
Captain Hinsch master OF transpor-
tation for the Ocean Rhederei, only
laughed when asked today regarding
reports that the Bremen had been cap
tured. None OF the Germans profess
ed to credit the story IN the least. ano
all said the vessel would arrive safely
before long.

INSPECTION PARTY
CONTINUES TRIP

Arriving IN this city after an in
spection trip OF the Chesapeake and

Rivers and Harbors Committee OF
Congress expressed themselves last
night as greatly interested in the plan
TO have the government take over the
canal and will no doubt make a report
endorsing the project The police
boat NJ. S Quay of Philadelphia on
board Of which the inspection trip
was made, did not arrive at the
Fourth street wharf until late. and
any formal program of entertainment
for the visitors was abandoned
The inspection trip was undertaken
with the idea OF acuuainting the men,
bers of the Joint Rivers and Harbors
Committee with the section OF the
country through which the canal
passes as we'll as the wealth Of indus
tries that lie along its banks or in
its immediate vicinity. The Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association. of
which Congressman J. Hampton
Moore. of Philadelphia. is president
has advocated the purchase OF the
canal by the government and giving
it a depth Of 10 feet and width of
200 feet. Congressman Miller also Is
giving his support to the measure.
The project is one close to the
heart of Congressman Moore. who
was enthusiastic over the expressions
of interest in the plan voiced by vari-
Gus members of the party. Congress-
man Moore said that Secretary of
Commerce Redfeld, who accompanied
the party as far as Baltimore yester-
day morning from which city the
start of the inspection trip was made,
declared that no more important
work could be taken up by the gov
ernment than the purchase of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal I;
that he regarded the opening OF the
canal and its connection with New
York as a project that should have
been taken up by the government
long ago. The secretary was quoted
as stating that the business Of the
country has been halted by the delay
thus far in not taking over the canal.
and that the objection made on the
plea of expense was ridiculous Con-
