Pierre.
Three times that night he heard
| faithful Gray Wolf calling for him
deep In the forest, and each time he
answered her Toward dawn she
came In close TO camp. once ne caught
/ the scent of her when she circled
around in the wind, and ne tugged and
whined at the end of his chain, hoping
that she would come in and lie down at
his side But no sooner had Radisson
moved in the tent than Gray Wolf was
gone. The mans face was thinner,
and his eyes were redder this morn
Ing. His cough was not so loud or so
rending. II was like u wheeze, as If
something had given way inside, and
before the girl came out he clutched
his hands often to his throat. JOnn's
face whitened when she saw him.
Anxiety gave way to fear in her eyes.
Pierre Radisson laughed when she
flung her arms about him, and coughed
to prove that what he said was true.
"You see the cough is not so bad
my JOAN" he said, 1T is breaking up.
You cannot have forgotten, ma cheriei
It always leaves one red-eyed and
weak"
1t was cold, bleak, dark day that
followed, and through it Kazan and
the man tugged at the fore of the
sledge, with Joan following in the
trail behind. Kazan's wound no longer
hurt him. He pulled steadily with all
his splendid strength, and the man
never dashed him once, but patted him
with his mittened hand on head and
back. The day grew steadily darker,
and in the tops of the trees there was
the low moaning of storm.
Darkness and the coming of the
storm did not drive Pierre Radisson
into camp. I'VE must reach the river"
he said to himself over and over again.
we must reach the river-we must
reach the river" And he steadily
urged Kazan on to greater effort, while
MS own strength at the end of the
races grew less.
II had begun to storm when Pierre
stopped to build a fire at noon. The
NOW fell straight down in a white
leluge so thick that 1t hid the tree
runks fifty yards away. Pierre !
aughed when Joan shivered and snug |
lied close up to him with the baby in
Ter arms. He waited only an hour, |
md then fastened Kazan in the traces
gain, and buckled the straps once
more about his own waist. In the silent
loom that was almost night Pierre
arried his compass in his hand, and
It last, late in the afternoon, they

which RadissOn pointed an exultant

Under II thick clump of spruce he
ut up the tent, and then began gath

BON as they had boiled coffee and
lten a supper of meat and toasted
scuits, Joan went into the tent and
ropped exhausted on her thick bed

ankets. Tonight she had no word

 Chief Bacon Rind, in his full glory of a Beaver hat, painted face and purple robe, extended a welcome for the tribe. He spoke gravely of the true brotherhood of nations to come out of the present war. Baron Moncheur, chief of the mission, took second place in the interests of the Indians and tribesmen, who only blinked solemnly when presented to the dipolmatic mem bers of the mission but awoke to real enthusiasm when introduced to General Leclera and Major Osterrieth. both inn posing in their military uniforms.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Quite different in tone from the optimistic view expressed by the new German chancellor in his speech to the reich stag are the reports reaching the state department from persons com ing out of Germany regarding the food conditions and outlook in the central empires.
 While this information necessarily is second hand, state departmen, agents are careful to forward only such news as in their opinion demand credence.
 Standing out in strong relief in the reports is the statement that Germany lacks 60O000 tons of wheat Ito carry the population through the middle of August when the new harvest can be gathered. The harvest also is very poor in castern Prussia owing to adverse weather conditions and even po- l tatoes promise only a minimum pro- duction. Many people are starving l in Poland.
 Tension between Austria and Ger many is declared to have grown so that suspected Austrians are being i interned in Germany
 The Centrist leader Erzberger is reported to have charged the gov ernment with manipulating U-boat statistics, to have given warning that the monarchial sentiments of the people are diminishing daily and
 to have advised the government | never again to threaten German strikers with machine guns as had been done at Stettin.

SHOWING THAT SINKINGS BY
SUBS ARE DECREASING.
Germany Has Had Only One Sue
cess in Months, That in the Cambria
Region, and That Is Under Inves-
tigatiOn," Said the British Pre-
mier.
(By Associated Press)

London, Dec. 2O.-Premier Lloyd
George told the House of Commons
today that sinkings by submarines
were decreasing, while shipbuilding
was increasing. The said the sinking
of submarines was increasing. AL
though the merchant tonnage was re-.
duced 20 per cent, the los sof imports
had been only 6 per cent more than
last year.
Regard the military situation, he
said it was idle to pretend that hopes
formed had been realized. He attrib-
uted this disappointment to the Rus
sian collapse.
The said the Germans had had only
one recent success and that was due
to surprise, on which he was now
engaged in inquiry. The Germans lost
100000 prisoners. valuable positions
and 100 guns in the late action.
He said shipping losses were light
er by hundreds of thousands of tons
than he anticipated. Lloyd-George
said the pride of the Germany mill
|tary power would have been complete
y Kdmbled by now had the Russian
army fulfilled expectations.
He stated that Jerusalem would
never be restored to the Turks.
Referring to Italian reverses, he
said it would be necessary for Eng
land to make greater sacrifices and
strengthen her armies the coming
years. 1t would be necessary to take
some men now exempted.
The British casualties were not
more than a fourth or a fifth those
the Germans have suffered, he said.

ment. He found that $417,682.90 had

war activities.
Mr.. Reid still has to collect $347,-
317. The second installment must be
paid in a lump. They become due
