Having other things to think OF,
Smith forgot the sleepy-eyed young fel-

that he would not have dismissed the
incident so readily If he had known
that Shaw had been waiting In the

parting applicants cuffs were micro

CHAPTER XIV.
Broken Threads.

Mr.. Crawford Stanton little later
went upstairs to rejoln the resplendent
lady, who was taking her after-dinner
ease In the most comfortable lounging-
chair the mezzanine parlors afforded.
"No good" he reported. "The girls
name is Rlchlander, and sheer her
father-comes from one of half dozen
Lawrencevilles'-you can take your
choice among 'em."
Money!" Queried the comfortable
one.
the husband mechanically. He was
not thinking specially of Mr.. Josiah
Richlander's possible or probable rat
ing with the commercial agencies; he
was wondering how well Miss Rich
lander knew John Smith, and in what
manner she could be persuaded to tell
what she might know. While he was
turning 1t over In his mind the two in
question, Smith and the young woman,
passed through the lobby on their way
to the theater. Stanton, watching them
narrowly from the vantnge-point af-
forded by the galleried mezzanine,
drew his own conclusions. By all the
little signs they were not merely chance
acquaintances or even casual friends.
Their relations were closer-and OF
longer standing.
Stanton razzled over his problem q
long time, long after Mrs. Stanton had
forsaken the easy chair and had dlsap-
peared from the scene. His Eastern
employers We're growing irascibly i'm
patient. Who was this fellow Smith.
and what was his backing? they were
beginning to ask; and with the asking
there We're intimations that If Mr..
Crawford Stanton were finding his task
too difficult, there was always an al
tentative.

Composed Opera In Bed.

One, at least, Of Rossini's operas was
composed in bed. 1t was when he was
young, poor and unknown, and lived In
wretched quarters. After writing 4
duet the composer allowed his manu-
script to slip Off the sheets and fan
Portable to get up, and. moreover, he
believed 1t would be unlucky to col
lect the sheets, so he went to work to
re-write the duet. To his disgust, he

fees and went across the street to the
hotel. The great dining room of the
Hophra House was on the ground floor.
The room was well filled, but the head
waiter found Smith small table in
the shelter of one OF the pillars and
brought him an evening paper.
Smith gave his dinner order and be-
gan to glance through the paper. The
subdued chatter and clamor of the big
room dinned pleasantly in his ears.
Half absently he realized that the head
waiter was seating someone at the
place opposite his own; then the faint
odor of violets, instantly reminiscent,
came TO his nostrils. He knew in
stinctlvely, and before he could put
the newspaper aside, what had hap
pened. Hence the shock, when he found
himself face TO face with Verda Rich
lander, was not so completely paralyz-
ing as It might have been. She was
looking across at him with lazy smile
In the glorious brown eyes, and the
surprise was quite evidently no sur
prise for her.

days, besides winning three battles

Bassano Napoleon raised the town 10

mat, who shares with Daru the dis-
tinction of having been one of the
hardest workers in the service Of tho
great Corsican.
Bassano is one Of the "infant" cit
les of northern Italy judged by the
age standards of Vicenza, Verona

ties of venetia, although 1t was sdfi

manent English settlement was made

founded in the eleventh century the
district was given as a fief to Eccelin.
German follower of Conrad ii. Ec-
celin founded the famous Ezzelini FAM
lily which dominated this town and
neighboring cities from time to time
during the middle ages. The most
powerful of these feudal lords, and
the most notorious, on account OF his
savage cruelty, was Ezzelini da Ro-
mano, stanch supporter of Emperor
Frederick ii, and one of the most sue
cessful of the Ghibelline adherents In
the great civil wars which devastated
Italy during the thirteenth century,
He not only held Bassano, but, with
the aid of the emperor, extended his
sway over Verona, Vicenza, Padua and
Treviso. Eventually Pope Alexander
Nv declared crusade against bins,
whereupon he made an attempt to
invest Milan. Here he was wounded
and captured. Enraged at his i'll
fortune in falling into the hands OF
his enemies, he tore the bandagcx
from his wounds and refused all food.

AN EVENTFUL WEEK

Events have crowded upon each
other so rapidly that it seems longer
than a week ago today that the
President appeared before Congress
asking for authority TO arm our
merchant ships. The same day
came the news of the sinking of the
Laconia and the drowning of two
American women with other victims,
clearly constituting the overt act for
which the Administration had been
waiting before the adoption of more
warlike measures. But Congress
dillydallied about the granting to
the Executive of the asked for au-
thority, many going on record
against the proposal. Then came the
disclosure of the Zimmerman note
and all the revelations of treachery
and conspiracy that accompanied it,
and the House promptly passed the
ship-arming bill.
The Senate filibustef against the
measure was the thing that startled
the country, however. Yesterday
Congress adjourned and the Presi-
dent took the oath of Office. Today
he is formally inaugurated and the
new Senate sworn in. 1t has been an
eventful week in Washington.

THE SENATE'S PLAIN DUTY

The Times was the only paper in
the United States yesterday, follow
ing the success of the filibuster in
the United States Senate, to urge
the calling of a special session of the
Senate for the purpose of revising
its rule of unlimited debate.
The President today expressed the
idea in vivid words when he said:
The Senate OF the United States
is the only legislative body ia the
world which cannot act when its
majority is ready for action. A
little group of willful men, repre-
senting no opinion but their own,
have rendered the great Govern
ment of the United States helpless
and contemplate.
That seems to sum up the situa-
ton. The Senate must free itself be-
fore it can hope to free the country
from insults and injuries that have
become intolerable.
The Washington times., 1917-03-05

man aggression will merely be di-
verted from the Berlin-to-Bagdad
route and the annihilation of the
British empire to the colonization Of
South America, already begun, and
the annihilation Of the Monroe doc
trine. Perhaps the invasion of this
hemisphere may be averted for a
generation, but sooner or later it
must come unless Prussianism is
now so thoroughly stamped out as to
permit the birth of real Germanism.
No amount Of pacifist sophistry
can obscure the fact that the issue
before the American people today is
this: Shall we now throw our whole
weight into the fight and crush Prus-
sianism or shall we wait until Prus-
sianism invades South America? Ar
gentina, perhaps because she is in
the line of direct invasion danger,
has evidently decided that now is the
time to strike, for she has already
seized $375,0O0 in gold en- route to
Germany aboard a Dutch liner.
If the American people have eaten
so fully of the loco weed of pacifsm
that they cannot, likewise, grasp
their present opportunity they will.
in the fullness of time, pay dearly
for their diet.
The Washington times., 1917-03-05
"ULTIMO LOCO"

That is a pithy phrase, "ultimo
loco"-clean crazy-with which the
Argentinians describe Germany's
plot to combine Mexico and Japan
with her for an invasion Of the
United States. But we are not sure
that it was applied to the proper
party.
Are the conceivers Of such a prop
osition as badly '1ocoed" as those
against whom its spirit is directed
but who still refuse to comprehend
the fact that Kultur is not only al
ready making war on them to the
extent of It's present ability, but that
they have to fear from Rultur ulti-
mate consequences worse than any
thing that could possibly happen to
them in the present war?
Americans fatuously dismiss as
"a German-Mexican-Japanese comic
opera plot" a revelation. of the pres
ent trend of the German mind. If
the U-boat campaign fails, as we
in this couEtry believe it will fail,
and Prussianism is only beaten down,
not destroyed. the direction Of Ger
