j. 5. WAR P[A|
BEING RUSHE|
President Taking Steps
Place the Nation on a
War Footing.
National Guard Called Back Into Fed.
eral Service and Navy TO be Re-
eruited Without Delay to
War Strength.

Washington.-Pres Wilson on
March 20 took steps to place the ma
ton on war footing.
BY executive order he directed that
the navy be recruited without delay
to full authorized war strength of ST.
900 enlisted men. Taken in connection
with emergency naval construction al
ready ordered, this means that the
president has exercised the full limit
Of his full legal powers as commander
in-chief to prepare the navy for war
For the army the president directed
that two new military departments be
created in the Atlantic coast region.
The order means that the task of Or
ganizing whatever army congress may
authorize will be divided among six
departmental commanders instead of
four, in the interests of speed and ef-
fciency In mobilization.
The third step was to assume as a
national duty the task of protecting
American Industries from domestic
disorders in the event or nostilities.
For this purpose, eleven full infantry
regiments, two separate battalions
and one separate company of the ma
tional guard were called back into the
federal service to act as national police
in important districts. experimenting
these troops, regiment of Pennsyl-
vania guard and two companies of
Georgia infantry, en- route home from
the border for muster out. were or
dered retained in the federal service.
The presidents orders were made
known In terse official statements is
sued by both departments. No expla-
nation accompanied them except the
statement that reorganization of the
military departments, effective May l.
was designed to facilitate decentrali'
cation of command

MEDIATION LATEST
PLAN OF TEUT0NS
ANOTHER SCHEME EosTEREp BY
GERMANY TO PREVENT WAR
WITH UNITED STATES.
Declared at Washington That No sug.
gestion Of Mediation VIII be Con-
sidered Unless Submarine
Warfare Is Abandoned.

Washington.--W Word that European
neutral might offer mediation to pre-
vent open war between the United
States and Germany has come to the
administration without causing sur
prise or in any way affecting the gov
ernment's plans for meeting the situa
ton forced by submarine ruthlessness.
Such a proposal is regarded here as
nothing more than another scheme
fostered by Germany with the hope
of confusing the issue and possibly
dividing sentiment in this country
while the destruction of American
lives and ships on the high seas con.
tinues.
At the state department on Thurs
day officials would neither deny nor
confirm that the government already
had been approached on this subject.
although 1t was admitted informally
that some such move was not unex-
pected. II was very emphatically stat
ed that no suggestion of mediation or
discussion would be considered unless
it was accompanied by abandonment
of illegal assaults upon American
shipping, a course to which there Is
no reason for believing the imperial
government is giving thought.
The feeling in all quarters here is
that the United States has with in
finite patience and forbearance done
everything possible with honor to avoid
the virtual state Of war now existing
through German aggression.

TORNADO SWEEPS OVER INDIANA
TOWN, DEMoLiSHiNG RESI-
DENCES AND FACTORIES.
Children Caught in Wreckage OF School
Building and Babe Found Float
ing In Stream, Clinging to
Dog.

New Albany, Ind.-Fifty persons
were killed and probably 100 or more
were injured by storm which late
Friday swept over New Albany, demol-
ishing scores of residences and sew
eral Industrial plants.
Twenty-Five bodies were recovered
and 1t is expected this number will be
doubled when all the debris OF wreck
ed buildings has ben cleared away.
West Union, subdivision in the
northeastern section of the city, bore
the iorunt of the storm. Here the wind
swept a path two blocks wide and
more than a mile long, demolishing
residences and several factories, and
destroying a negro school building.
Twenty-Five children were in the build
ing, some Of whom were caught in the
wreckage of the structure.
The streets in the path OF the storm
are a mass of wreckage. An appeal
to the city authorities of Louisville
brought a large number of policemen
TO aid in maintaining order and all
available officers from the Indiana
state reformatory at Jeffersonville and
from the Jacksonville police force
were hurried here. A call was made
on the governor for state troops.
The Deering baby. about six months
Did, was found floating in small
stream into which 1t had been borne
by the wind. The child was alive and
clinging to dog, which apparently
had been killed by the storm. The
baby died in the arms of its rescuer
Later an aunt identified the baby and
then reported that both the father and
mother had been killed.

TWELFTH EPISODE

Contractor Dawson sat with his head
bowed in his hands. He had failed.
The date set for the completion of the
Shady Creek extension of the Valley
railway under contracts with Rupert
Holmes had passed and the road
lacked fifteen miles of being finished.
Against every sort of treachery that
the subtle and INSCRIPTIONS mind of
Holmes could bring to bear, and In
spite of tremendous natural obstacles
Dawson and his men had done won
ders In building grade through the
difficult country Of Onawa valley, but
almost was not quite. They had been
retarded by the difficulty of obtaining
men for which Holmes and his minions
were responsible. Now the subcon-
tractors were demanding their pay and
Holmes had refused to settle on the
basis of the work already done or to
grant an extension of time.
81 think we've got 'em this time"
grlnned the lumber magnate, as he sat
In his sumptuously furnished Office In
conference with Behrens, his chief of
staff, and Jim Blake, the ex-dive-
keeper.
"The trouble with them guys" inter
posed Behrens, lingering the rim of
his sombrero in the nervous manner
characteristic OF him, sis that you
never know when you've got EN-"
"Well," snarled Holmes, "what are
they going to do about 1t? The con-
tract calls for completion by the tf-
teenth. The work isn't done. The last
half of 1t has been 'scamped' anyhow,
and i wouldn't accept it under any
circumstances"
"But under the law" Behrens went
on, "you've got to pay the bill for
work completed, contract or no con
tract. Workmen's liens will tie up the
cash anyhow. If they go ahead and
finish the job the courts will order the
work paid for in the long rum"
"What more do we wantf grinned
the millionaire, with gesture of i'm
patience. "Just to tie the thing up In
the courts for six months will be
enough and then some"
Big Bill Dawson, sitting with bowed
head, a beaten man, knew very well
the malign force with which he had
to contend.
~ guess Wen have to give 1t up"
groaned Dawson; cts hard lines, but
anyhow Holmes will have to pay off
the crews. They've earned their mon
ey and I've got to see that they get
1t when they quit, irrespective of any
personal sacrifice"
Helen and her foster father had been
talking matters over for more than two
hours without arriving at any solution
of the problems that confronted them.
At last the young girl rose 10 her feet
with an air of determination.
1--WE an idea" she said. at may
not mean anything but-at all events
there's no harm in trying"
"SecretT smiled Dawson; IF not,
my dear, for heavens sake let's hear
your plan. I've thought about the stu

SWELL" con.ipued Helen, throwing
her cape about her pretty shoulders,
II don't like to raise false hopes, but
I believe Stephen Holmes is made OF
cleaner stuff than his father. I'm going
TO tell him the whole story. / don't
know what he'll do, but I'll be disap'

But reaching stephen Holmes was
not the easiest thing in the world just
then. That young man had an idea OF
his own. BY sheer analysis he had ar
