R<F TRAITOR.


anywhere. This Nine. Latrobe, who
opens over here tomorrow night, is in
love at the present moment with Jean
Tourbet. She had an affair with that
Italian poet in the summer, so they
tell me. She was certainly in Madrid
in October with Bretoldi, the sculp-
tor. These men are all great artists.
Think what she must have learned
from associating with them! Now
Louise Maurel, so far as we know,
has never had but one affair, the prince
of Seyre, and has been faithful to him
oil the time"
1t was out at last! John had heard
it spoken in plain words. The black
demon upon which his hand had lain
so heavily, was alive now, without
doubt, jeering at him, mocking at him
alive and self-assertive in the sober
words of the elderly, well-bred man
who lounged upon the table.
For moment or two John was
stunned. A wild impulse assailed him
to leap up and confront them all, to
choke the lie back down the throat
Of the man who had uttered it. Every
nerve In his body was tingling with
the desire for action. The stupor OF
his senses alone kept him motionless,
and strange, incomprehensible clar-
ity of thought. He realized exactly
how things were. This man had not
spoken idly, or as a scandallnonger.
He had spoken what he had accepted
as fact, what other people believed.
John rose to his feet and made his
way toward the door. His face showed
little sign of disturbance. He even
nodded to some men whom he knew
slightly. As he passed down the stairs,
he met Graillot. Then once more his
self-contrOl became in danger. He
seized the Frenchman savagely by the
arm.
"Come this way" he said, leading
him toward the cardroom. "Come In
here! want to speak to you"
He locked the doOr-a most I'M
heardof and irregular proceeding.
Graillot felt the coming Of the storm.
well" he exclaimed grimly. "Trou-
BILE already, eh?.,I see it in your face,
young man. Out with it!'
II was sitting in the smoking room
there, few moments ago." he began,
jerking his head toward the door.
"There were some men talking-de-
cent fellows, not dirty scandal-mon-
gers. They spoke Of Louise Maurel."
Graillot nodded gravely. He knew
very we'll what was coming.
John felt hisathreat' suddenly dry.
The words ehess would have spoken
choked him. He banged his fist upon
the table by the side of which they
were standing. ~.
look, here, Graillot," he cried, al
most piteously, "you know it Is not
true, nor likely to be true! Can't
you say so?" 49,. r-.

"But you don't believe that such
thing could be possible?"
"Why not?" Graillot asked steadily.
John could do no more than num-
hle repetition Of his words. The
world was falling away from him.
II will not discuss this matter with
you, my friend. l will only ask you

FAKE PEACE MOVES.

A bunch or heavily armed DandltS
break into some little hamlets. They
kill some of the peaceful inhabitants.
They outrage the women, torture and
kill the old men and mutilate the
children They burn homes and loot
everything.
A general alarm is sent throughout
the countryside. Police and citizens
Frush to the rescue. Their desire is
|, to make the law supreme-to put
down, murder and outrage, and theft
and arson. e. !" '].
In the fighting. representatives Of
law and order are shot down. Many
OF the bandits arc also killed and
Wounded.
In addition, a state Of siege is be-
gun. The bandits have base, a sup
ply of food and ammunitions, and
some more is struggled to them. But
the outlaws realize that sooner or
later they must surrender. Some of
their own men are whimpering for
reace. 'Whereupon the bandit leaders
say to the representatives of the law:
why keep up this costly fight
which can only result in more dead
and wounded? You see we are in
actual possession Of many villages.
You cant dislodge us.
Regardless of how this thing orig
inally started, let us get together and
make peace. OF course, uneOnquered,
we must not be punished Our muir
ders must not be avenged. We must
not be compelled TO restore to you
our loot or repair the damage"
Police and citizens, who know their
jobs, will naturally reply:
There can be no end to this fight
save your surrender The law must
rule There can be no repetition Of
this reign of terror You must pay
TO let you go free now, your hands
red, your pockets stuffed, would be
to encourage you to try the same
thing again"
That in homely, everyday language
is the case of the allies versus the
kaisers. Like the bandits, the armies
Of the kaiser9 broke into Belgium,
France, Serbia, Rumania and Russia
They committed all the crimes in the
calendar, until all the great law-abid-
ing nations were arrayed against
them. Like the bandits, the kaiserists
are not only enduring battles but
state of siege. They feel hunger
They realize in the end thy must lose
Their own followers whimper for
peace.
To satisfy them the spokesman for
Germany and Austria are once more
making specious peace pleas. They
want peace which will not punish
They want peace that will not pen
alize for their horrible murders. They
want peace that will not compel
them to return their loot. They want
a peace which will leave them where
they started before the war began
in position to start it all over again
as soon as they catch their breath.
That is the meaning of the concert
ed action by which Chancellor Georg
Michaelis of Germany and Count Ger
min are talking peace to the world
Their cunning web of lies and intfi-
que may take in their own people
but not the allies or America. Before
we talk of peace we must take from
Germany and Austria the power ever
to plunge the world into another war.
And that means grinding into powder
their military machines and render
ing the kaisers impotent .,s.,.-,,..-...

THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

1t has been officially announced
that the second Liberty Loan will be
launched on the public the first OF
next month. This Is but few days
distant. and 1t is time everybody was
preparing to meet this loan with
much more promptness than the first
one was received.
1t is highly important that the
American people impress upon the
mind Of the Kaiser the fact that this
country is united in the determination
to wage a war that shall end In vic
tory over militaristic autocracy. When
the Kaiser fully realizes that fact. he
will the more readily see the wisdom
OF capitulatlon. The best way for an
American to testify in substantial
manner his desire to help win,'this
war is to enlist, If within the proper
ages and not disqualified or exempt
