The three women strolled away.
Yama, as they left him, set to work
with will to get the luncheon ready
within the brief five minutes allotted
him.
AS the Jap was not gifted with eyes
in his back, he did not see a frowsy
head emerge from a cave-mouth n the
lower part Of the bluff, q few yards
behind him.
Sam Eagan had tried to sleep his
hunger away, until such time as II

Eagan thrust out his head from the

 MT. Root, alluding to the violation of Belgium's neutrality, said: : When our government failed to tell the truth about Belgium, it lost the op- portunity for leadership of the moral sense of the American people and it lost the power which a knowledge of that and sympathetic response from the moral sense of the world would have given to our diplomacy. When our government failed to make any provision whatever for the defending of it's rights in case they should be trampIed upon, it lost the power which a belief in it's readiness and will to maintain it's rights would have given to the diplomatic representations.
 But what are the people to expect if the Republican party is restored to power?
 This much we can say now: | They may expect with confidence that their government will meet the economic situation with which we must deal immediately upon the close of the war with policy of moderate, but adequate protection to American industry, based upon ascertained and established facts and inspired by sym pathy with all honest American en
