which mad killed him-just such a
thrust as had done for his two mates
in the cabin above; but the mailman
had disappeared. However, here was
proof positive that the fellow was still
on board; still hiding between decks.
He had not reached the open, or flung
himself into the sea. Masters could
tell us nothing; he had heard no
sound, seen no shadow. He had been
oiling the machinery, and a man could
have slipped down the ladder unob'
served, and escaped again in the same
way. There was no other entrance to
the enginerOOln; the forward bulkhead
was solid; there were two vcntilator
shafts, but neither was large enough
for the passage Of & mans body, and
the coal chute was kept closed and
locked at sea. Nevertheless had these

chances, and our lantern penetrated

WAkED ITALY UP.

There are those who stoutly main
tain that, in the total, war is not loss
but benefit because of increase in
conservation, in production and in
number of producers. Certain it is
that, in respect of at least one of the
warning nations, this seems likely to
be the case.
Before the war, Italy was a.,r.'st OF
no account, industrially. Her war
with Turkey, six years ago, had left
her trade practically a mass of frag'
ments and, so far as war material was
concerned, she was producing prI:tic-
an. nothing, having for years depend
cd for her munitions mainly Oh the
Nrupps. On entering the war she mad
to start from the beginning, but she
had a small but able body of business
men and master manufacturers and an
enormous, fairly we'll developed water
power
War put the pep into Italy. NUM-
tons and other factories 3prang up III

and women are now working, night
and day, in her mun!tion factories

peace comes, Italy Will be one Of The
producing nations rather than a de,
pendent one.
War seems to make nations produce

but wonder what would be the indus
trial effect of war upon such countries
as Norway, Sweden, Holland. Spain
Denmark and even Switzerland.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Maniac on Board,

The horror with which she looked
into MY face held me speeches.. Could
It be possible that she suspected, knew,
the pcrpetrator Of this crime-that she
sought to shield him?
"You searched the cabin? You found
no one?"
"Only Dade sound asleep in the
stewards stateroom. I awoke him,
and left him on watch below"
'"There VAS no one hiding in any of
the staterooms? You tried the doors?''
"They were all empty. Mr.. Bas-
CONS door was the only one locked"
"You-you made him open?"
"No; why disturb him?''
She drew a quick BREATH her eyes
on r,y face.
"You-you have not seen Philip Bias.
com lately?"
"No, not since we had supper to-
gether."
"You saw nothing strange then in his
actions, or words?"
"Why nothing that I remarked. He
seemed about as usual; more haggard,
and nervous possibly. but he spoke
cheerfully enough. What can you
mean?'
ooh, do not really know; perhaps

RUNNING TO COVER.

The best sign that the American
people are becoming aroused to the
seriousness of the nations struggle IS
the hasty effort being made by some
of the disloyal elements to get to
cover
Individuals who were most blatant

or trying to prove that they are not

failing that, to make the country help.
less and to deprive the war of all
yigor, has issued a statement threaten
ing to sue anyone who calls it pro
German" The peevishness displayed
by the foolish threat is significant at
least of the fact that the directors OF
the organization have discovered that
proc ermanism is not only unpopular
but unpleasant.
The revelations of Russell as to the
work of pacifists and traitors froul
America in Russia have produced Il
chorus of denunciations and denials Il
responsibility in the ranks of the Be-,

A FUNNY PEACE TERM.

One of the latest German peace
terms being talked about in Washing
ton is amusing anyhow. 1t is the res
toration of Belgium and northern
France, to be paid for out of the sale
of Germany's colonies to Great Bri-
tain.
Germanys colonies are very largely
Great Britain's now and they are
about the poorest investment that any
nation could hold. at any time. When
Great Britain consents to pay what
Germany owes Belgium and France.
wake us up, There must be streak
of humor in German autOCracy that
we haven't noticed.

with the meat card, and add the egg
card. In separate saucepan cook the
potato and vegetable cards together
and when done add these to the stew
For dessert warm up the potato card
add the milk card, swecten with the
sugar card, and bake with it the bread
and biscuit cards. Then wash your
hands with the soap card and wipe
them dry with the table linen
voucher"
Now people who can print this
kind of humor and laugh over it are
not yet in dire straits. The starving
man does not enjoy jests about his
"tarvation.
!, is just as well, therefore, for
\,u,r. ans to steel themselves to the
iLuu"It that Germany cannot be
,.I ed into submission. She must be
u.",'.n so badly, so thoroughly that
e,,-l German wits will be unable to
extract humOr out of the situation.
The German military machine must
be destroyed. The German military
leaders and their ruling caste must be
toppled from the places of power
which make them a standing menace
to the peace and order of the world.
Only when Germany is no longer a
war machine, only when the people
really rule and democracy is estab-
lishcd there, will it be possible for
this country and the allies to lay down
their arms and take up once more
the ordinary and satisfying tasks OF
civilization.
The job outlined is huge one. 1t
will call upon America for all her re.
sources of men. money and materials.
But it's a job that has to be done.
We have got to break Germany or
Germany will break us.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-09-17

The mate thrust his head over tho
forward rail.
"Do you know If Masters is in the
cngincroom?"
II think he is, sir.''
"Then call down, and have him
send White on deck Immediately; and
pass the word forward to have Mr.. OF.
son come here.'
"Ayc, aye, sir; is there anything
wrong?"
Il will explain presently; just now
want you to remain in charge Of the
deck"
Olson arrived first, and I barely had
time to tell him briefly what had oc'
Cured, when White emerged through
the deck opening and reported, his
eyes blinking in the bright light, and
his face grimy with coal.
"You wanted me, sirT" he asked,
with no buster in the gruff voice.
AYE, White; you possess the
strength and nerve for this sort Of job.
Miss Darlington here suspects that

"Look here! there are two bodies;

The sailor sprang past me, and
dropped to his knees.
"Ayc, it's Dade, and the poor cuss
is done for, sir-it's another knife
thrust in the back"
"And no longer any doubt who did
it," echoed Olson, ''for there's not an
other man aboard been aft"
"Right you are" said, gripping my
self ready to act. >"Andwe must get

The door Of BascOm's stateroom was
closed, and I graspcd the knob with no
thought it would yield to my fingers.
But it did, and almost fell forward
into the room, catching myself, and
staring about. The last CLEAN Of the
