NEW YORK, Feb. 2O-Four big
ocean liners carrying more than
1000 passengers and thousands of
sacks of mail reached New York
today. Three of them-the Cunard-
er Orduna, the French Fabre liner
Patria and the Italian steamer San
Guglielmo-came from the war zone.
and the fourth, the Rio Janiero,
from Para.
A dense fog hung over the bay
and prevented the steamers dock

The Patria brought about 1900
.steerage passengers and several
hundred in the cabins. She sailed
from Genoa on Feb. 3. and touched
several Mediterranean ports before
striking out through the Atlantic.
The Orduna brought 80 passen-

Capt Thomas Enon. master Of the
American steamer Housatonic. the
first American ship to be sunk by
a German submarine after the dip

Feb s, near the Sicily islands while
bound for London with a cargo of
wheat.
Capt. Enon declared that the YES
sci was given ample warning. and
the crew allowed sufficient time to
make their escape in the. lifeboats.
After the Housatonic settled under
the waves, the submarine COM
mander tossed the boats a line and
towed them for an hour and a half
in the direction of land. At the
end of that time he sent up asignal
attracting a British patrol boat. and
then disappeared. The crew Of 81

fiickered-and the shawl grew tighter
every moment! Dick gasped and strug-
gled. His arms were pinioned to his
sides. What allied this queer garment
with It's powers Of contraction? Every
expanding movement Of his shoulders
seemed to set In motion some new
mechanism that drew the torture gar
ment tighter about him. He could not
move his hands, and the thin sharp
edges Of the Shawl cut sharply into
the flesh about his neck.
Dick realized that death was near.
just as he realized that Pliny Brown
had wreaked vengeance upon him at
last The silver shawl must be well
known In this part Of the country. for
the very sound Of its name had sent
Alschid flying toward home.
There was a strange thudding sound
from above; some loose earth ratified
down; then the rotting beams fell in
with a crash, and Dick Moreland, half
blind with pain, looked up into the
pale twilight and saw scattered stars,
the bulk Of waving treetOps and a
group Of faces around the hole in the
roof of the cave.
The shrill voice Of Alschid, the drag
oman, came down from above:
"Effendi!"
"Yes," choked Dick feebly.
Alschid dropped down into the hole
and five minutes later assisted Dick
through the hole in the ceiling. The
silver shawl was n bruised and shat
tered and. let us hope. harmless rem.
nant of its former self.
When Dick Moreland returned to New
York he took with him a new valet
Alschid, solemnly important, his red
fez atop his sleek black head.
On the steamer he saw Pliny Brown.

sayed conversation, He nodded to-
ward Alschid Your servant. eh?' he

1t was In Constantinople on the steps
or the Mosque Of st. Sophia that Dick
Moreland ran into the arms Of his
ancient enemy, Pliny Brown.
Hello, Morelandr' frowned the sin
lister older man.
"Ah-er-why it's Pliny Brown

recollection of lonely country road.

Dick shook hands gingerly. You're
long way from home" he said stiffly.
"Tm collecting for the Burlington
museum" explained Pliny. "Been up
back in the Beurad district-God for

and goats milk and melons. Wheww
'I'm off that way myself tomorrow"

grinned. "Well, goodby, Brown"
''Goodby," said the other; then he
stopped and called sharply. "Oh.

"Yes" Dick turned around.

be sure to stop at Ell Drogor, a scrap

they make the most wonderful shawls

at is interesting" Browns dry
cackling laugh echoed down the empty
street.
Dick stared after him with curling
lip.
Poor old dufferw he muttered. His
efforts to be agreeable sound like the
evil cachinnations Of the villain In the
play"
Dick Moreland thought little more Of
Pliny Brown, so Unexpectedly met In
this faroff corner Of the world. There
were plenty of American tourists In
Constantinople in these days before
the great war, and he had run across
several acquaintance In his wander
ings. Now his mind was engaged In
planning for the trip he was taking
into the Beurad hills. He had en-
gagged a horse. donkey to carry his
pack and Alschid. a sleepy eyed drago-
man, as guide.
The. next morning they started, while
the Bosporus shimmered with the first
rays Of the sun. From hundred min
arets came the queer chanting call Of
Muezzins summoning the world to
prayer. Birds sang In the thorn bushes
beside the road, and the smell Of jas
mine and roses was painfully sweet.
Dick whistled with the very Joy Of
living, while his eyes roved, ever
searching for some subject for his
brush. He passed by many pictur-
esque villa, wayside well smothered in
flowers and dusty caravan vending It's
way across the desert. No matter
how he longed to stop and paint these
alluring things. he had set himself a
task-to paint the wild ruggedness Of
the Beurad hills, their fierce fantasy Of
crag and peak and crinkling water

goat or the solitary figure Of shep-
herd of the hills driving bis ragged
flock to greener pastures.
On the morning Of the fourth day
Dick carefully put away completed
picture and ate a hasty luncheon OF
fresh dates and milk.

effort was made then to remove
President Allen on account of his
political faith then it is reasonable
to believe that he must have been
a Democrat, but in this letter Just
sent out by DR.. Thompkins, he
would make it appear that Mr.. AL
len is the most vicious and i'm
placable enemy Democracy has in
this state. The truth of the mat
ter is, and every fair-minded un-
biased Negro in the state knows it
to be true, that President Allen
knows nothing about politics and
never participates one way or the
other in political gatherings. He
has felt, and justly so, that it was
his duty to devote his whole time
and attention to educating the
Negro youth of this state to that
plane where they would be a posi-
tive asset, and not a liability to
the imperial commonwealth Of
Missouri. and how well he has sue
ceeded thousands of Negroes and
many splendid whites stand ready
to testify.
Isn't it a bit strange that after
twenty years of loyal and devoted
service to this institution that the
hue and cry of politics should be
raised to crafty the exaggerated
ego of an unwise member of the
race who had a rather mortifying
experience with breaking down
the statutes and political stand
ards in Oklahoma a couple of
year ago and to whose assistance
the Negroes of the state including
the Sun rallied to vindicate his
honor and the rights of his peo-
pie? The Sun has no quarrel with
DR., William j. TkSnpkins nor
would it attempt todeny him the
right and privilege of opposing
anybody and everybody in public
