Board
 Chief Result Of
 Little Reichstag
lRr Review Leased Wire.l )

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 31-The short parliamentary interlude in Ger many, caused by the meeting of the so-called little reichstag," ended without other tangible results than the creation of the advisory board Of bundesrat and reichstag representa- tives to act as a connecting link be- tween the government and the reich stag in confidential discussion of for eign problems.
 This board, which admittedly is an experiment and which was designed as a substitute for pariiamenti-ism, also adjourned after it's first meeting to organize without 'aking any action on Germany's reply Go the pope's peace proposal
 The session of the reichstag main committee has shown that Chancellor Michaelis, like his predecessor, pr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, is confronted by a recalcitrant opposition in the reichstag and a movement for his r. tirement, though this time the loles are reversed.
 The liberal and center parties are now the ones to suggest that the cnan cellor must go unless he comes over whole-heartedly to their program while the conservatives and pan-German e ements support him.
 The Berlin Vorwaerts, Tagebla,t, Vossiche Zeitung. an dother organs ad- init that all s igns indicate that the chancellor belongs to he oher camp and socialists and radicals have ttde- clared for war agains him if he per sists in his ccurs.
 - A fair test of the extent of the reich stag majority's influence over Chan cellor Michaelis and the government will be afforded by the result of the majority's ultimatum for an abandon ment of the political censorship. gIv- ing the government four weeks until the opening of the reichstag to shCw results.
 The pan-German press and tie Vor- ] iwaerts are playing with the susses- tion of reichstag dissolution as a t5st ! of national anthem. It is doubtfuI, | however, whether either side is scr iously in earnest.

Disappointment
 Felt by Pope ct President s Note
CBy Review Released wire.)

Rome. August 3O.-After President Wilson's answer to Pope Benedict's peace proposals was presented at 12:SO o'clock by the British minister at the Vatican, Mopsignor Cerretti, newly ap- pointed as secretary of state immedi- ately took the document to the pope. The pontiff does not read English but he had rapid verbal translation made and he was much touched by its word ing. The pope remarked as to the lofty sentiments expressed and also the kindly, humane spirit and man. ner" used by the president in reject ing the Vatican's proposals but as to the answer received he was unable to Iepress his disappointment that his efforts as yet were unsuccessful to end the war e..a-.
 It is not known as to whether the pope shall reply immediately to the presidents note or shall wait for all the belligerents' notes in order to make a general answer.
 However it is certain that the pope is duly preparing an immense amount of documentary testimony to prove that his principal points are those al. ready admitted or agreed to by all the belligerents.
 The point emphasized. in President Wilson's note is that no one can have faith in the honor of the German ruler ar accept their signatures to a peace treaty. is a problem that has focused 'she attentio Eof the pontiff. Tonight it was evident that he wasnot content to cease his peace efforts but would continue their discussiOn in further notes. probably fer the next four or five months until he should gain ground or else become satisfied that the task wah hopeless. It has been usggested that. by such a method. the pope might not reach the warning na-i tions a preliminary of, the discussion and might eventually become repre- scented at the final peace conference.

NOTHING SAID ABOUT LION

He Made His Offer.

The enterprising impresariO Of the
mammoth circus offered $1O0 to any
member of the audience who would en-
ter the lions cage. He made the in
vitation nightly, but no one seemed in
hurry to accept it until one evening
very sheepish looking individual rose
and shouted:
"If you please, sir, I should like
that hundred dollars"
The audience was horror-stricken,
but the impresariO replied, with a con-
temptuous and rather incredulOus
smile:
"Oh! So you want to go into the
lions cage, do you?"
"Certainly" said the man, starting
to make his way from the audience.

Sophy paused until she had lit n
cigarette. The expression in her face,
when she looked up at John, irritated
him vaguely. It was as If she were
talking to child.
"I think" she said, "you had better
ask Louise that question yourself
don't you?"
He asked It an hour or so later,

the well-bred surprise of the one or
two friends who fingered, Louise had

CHAPTER XXI.

Toward nine o'clock on the follow
ing morning John rose from a fitful
sleep and looked around him. Even
before he could recall the events OF
the preceding night he felt that there
was a weight pressing upon his brain,
a miserable sense of emptiness In life,
a dull feeling of bewilderment. AL
though he had no clear recollection of
getting there, he realized that he was
in his own sitting-room, and that he
had been asleep upon the couch. He
saw, too, that it was morning, for a
ray of sunlight lay across the carpet.
AS he struggled to his feet, he saw
with q little shock that he was not
alone. Sophy Gerard was curled up
in his easy chair, still in evening
clothes, her cloak drawn closely
around her, as if she were cold. Her
head had fallen back. She, too, was
asleep. At the sound of his move
ment, however, she opened her eyes

remember those few seconds very dis
tinctly. l saw everything, knew ev-
erything, felt everything. If no one
had interfered, l think 1 should have

"You were not drunk at ALL" she de-
clared, with little shiver, "but you
were in n state of terrible excitement.

you to lie down, and then you wouldn't
close your eyes until came and sat
by your side. I watched you go to

"How could l be angry?" he pro-
tested. "You are far kinder to me

Remember" she whispered, "you
have to go to see Louise!"
He covered his face with his hands
"What's the use Of it?" he groaned
"It'S only another turn of the screw !!
Don't be foolish, john" she ad
monished briskly. "You don't actual
ly know anything yet-nothing at all
at least, you are not sure Of anything
And besides, you strange, impossible
person." she went on, patting his
hand, "don't you see that you mus
judge her, not by the standards oi
your world, in which she has never
lived, but by the standards of hel
world, in which she was born an(
bred? That Is only fair, isn't it?"
He rose listlessly to his feet. There
was a strange, dull look in his face.
"You are a dear girl, Sophyw HI
said. Don't go just yet. have never
felt like it before in my life, but JUS
now / don't want to be left alone

She hesitated.

CHAPTER Xxx.

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and John,
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all Of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends, which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of cOnSDira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was in no humOr to go home. Chang
ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to a
small Bohemian club which he had
Joined at GraillOt's instigation. He
had a vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him, however, in the smok-
ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing at
desks; others were lounging about
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog
nized authority, was treating the com
pany to fluent dissertation upor

trasting Louise Maurel's style witt

found himself listening with pleased
interest. The mans opinion was Ger

Soaring Them Away.

Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman of a
Liberty Loan committee, said in New
York:
"The loan machinery was made easy,
simple and informal, so that all could
come in. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
"Some Of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger seashore hotel.
"This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates

NEW CLEANER RUN BY WATER
Recently Invented Device Can Be oper-
ated at Any Point In House Where
There Is Hydrant.

A vacuum cleaner has been invent
ed which can be operated wherever
there is a hydrant in the house.
A pipe of the right diameter is
screwed into the hydrant's mouth and
runs down to the bottom of the sink.
A spiral nozzle fits the pipe just below
the mouth of the hydrant. An angular
pipe opens into the vertical pipe i'm
mediately below the nozzle and slopes
up to connect with rubber hose on
the guiding rod.
To clean the room you turn on the
water and guide the rod over the car
net. After traversing the spiral noz-
zle the water whirls around and passes
the opening of an angular pipe, fore
ing out oil the air near 1t. The
vacuum so created starts the air flow
ing in the rubber hose.
