'Mr. Brown" Ethel said, you're not
English. l am; but you are an Anglo
Saxon, and you must sympathize with
the allies"
Sure 1 dor was his prompt re-
Spouse.
Then. whatever happens while
you're here" she continued with an air
of great earnestness, whatever hap
pens, l want you to remember that
am English. and that 1t is England
serve always. You will believe
it?"
"Oh, of course l willr' he assured
her And Immediately thought came
into Charlie Browns head that made
him start. And by the way" he said,
while l think of it, I want to warn
you about that chap l met at tea at
your place. Streetman, he called him
self You remember him?'
To hide her confusion Ethel rose and
moved a few steps away from the
table.
Yes, remember him very WELL"
she answered
Il happened that night to get some
dope on him." Charlie went on, in en-
tire innocence of the effect his words
had upon her. Hes what you might
call professional spy-working for
the German secret service now. That's
why he stuck up for them that after
noon; but really he's a Russian"
"A Russian Ethel exclaimed, star
tied, in spite Of herself. by that sur
prising news.
YES" he continued. HE got kicked
out of Russia ten years ago for some
dirty business. Then he worked fot
the English against the Beers. They
couldn't stand him either-he's an avn
full rotter. I don't know much about
him after that. Now he's with the
Germans. You'll forgive my
speaking of this" he said, "but
thought perhaps as you're in the ad-
mirars family, he might be trying to
pump you about some of the navy's
secrets"
'Oh-thank you for telling me-" she
exclaimed gratefully And, somehow,
she felt the least bit guilty that she
could not be frank with him. "And
one thing more" she added, as he
seemed about to leave her. you won't
speak Of meeting me here? :.
You'll promise, won't you, even though
l can't explains"
my dear girl" he protested, "I've
been on so many stories, I've inter-
viewed so many people, I've seen so
much of human nature. that I know
pretty well when to print a story and
when to kill it-and I'll go through for
you any way you want me to-"
Ethel turned to him impulsively.
gratefully.
THANK you-you're a dearw she
told him.
And at that moment the French spy
he Of the newspaper-returned.
And, paying scant heed, apparently,
to Ethel and her companion, he sat
down at table. lighted another ciga-
rette. and resumed his intent reading
once more.
AS soon as he caught sight Of the
stranger Charlie Brown warned Ethel
with quick "Sshv'
ut must be nearly time for dinner"
Madame de Lorde remarked carelessly,
as II their conversation bore only upon
trivial matters.
THAT'S so. And If we're going to
dine together Think I'll go wash up
or the folks will think belong here"
Mr.. Brown said, glancing down at the
wreck of his once immaculate new
English suit. "Oh, I almost forgot my
vanity bag" he exclaimed. And he
retrieved his paper parcel from the
table where he had dropped it. Then
he went joyfully to his room.

Here Is big opportunity for
Charlie Brown, the New York
newspaper correspondent, to
show either world Of good sense
or a state of mind bordering on
insanity. The problem is up to
him--whether he will stick by

APPEAL TO BUY
BONDS SENT OUT

The Sank County Defense league
in cooperation with the banks, is
sending out about six thousand circu-
lar letters to residents of the county
containing an earnest appeal that the
recipients help to furnish the loan
desired by the United States govern
ncnt by buying Liberty Loan bonds.
The letter sent out explains fully that
tie government must secure the mon
ely necessary to conduct the war;
either by taxation or by borrowing
the money from the people. 1t cites
the fact that dollar paid as a tax
never comes back; it never brings
cent of interest. 1t is gone. A dollar
furnished as loan will come directly
back to you and will bring good in
terest s4 Szis 61l1
The committee having the matter
in hand is anxious that the people of
Sank county demonstrate that they
will do their share. 1t is estimated
that this county's share of the bond
issue is 100000, and the bond issue
has been divided into denominations as
small as $50, so that nearly everyone
can help. Unfortunately Sank county
so far has not done as well as some
of the other counties in the state,
and it is with view to stirring the
patriotism and loyalty of the citizens
of the county that the circular letters
are being sent out. eaa+

TWO MILLION MEN

Major General Wood, commander of
the department of the southeast, said
in a registration day address at Birm-

might have to send two million men
to Europe before the war is won.
1--WE are going to very likely have
to send a million men, or two million
men across the sea-" he said, "and
perhaps leave many thousands of
them here, so the principal thing for
us to do in America is to make NUM-

JOLIET MUT|NY
CAUSES DEATH
Nine Hundred Prisoners, Angry
Over New Visit Rule, Start
Riot at Breakfast

After one prisoner was killed, eight
severely injured and several others
hurt yesterday, through riotous out
breaks by thousand convicts at the
prisons in Joliet, ILL.,, who objected to
the new rules which are being en-
forced by Warden Bowen, rainstorm
drove the last two hundred of the mu-
tineers to the dollhouse, although they
had stubbornly refused to acceed be-
fore the bayonets of national guards
men who Quelled the outbreak.
Fires set within the prison destroy
ed the prison yard office building, the
curio room, the office, and portions of
the chapel, entailing a loss of $780,
600. ! Several other buildings were
damaged by the flames.
Soldiers Put in Busy Day
There were three riots during the
day, but the disorder was almost con-
tinuous from the first outbreak until
military units had restored order. All
offenders were locked in their cells,
and Warden Bowen says the strictest
discipline, will be enforced until the
unruly spirit has been smothered.
The first disorder came at break
fast, when 900 convicts showed dis
pleasure over an order issued by War
den Bowen that the prisoners should
not be visited by anyone except a rel
alive. The men began throwing all
the tableware about the room, break
ing furniture and overcoming the
guards.
Drive Firemen Away
The second outbreak followed the
setting of fire in a chair factory,
about three hours later. The fire de.
partment was assaulted and driven
back, when an attempt to extinguish
the blaze was made. BY the free use
of the fire hose, however, the revolt
ers were driven back and the flames
put out.
The mutterings of the partly cowed
convicts caused the warden to ask for
state troops. AS the militiamen in
Joliet are in federal service, and an
order had to be obtained from the
army headquarters in Chicago, by
the time the soldiers arrived on the
scene fires had been set in several
places, and it looked for time that
the entire prison would be destroyed
by the flames.
Cold Steel for Mutineers
The outbreak was so threatening
that Captain Hamlet G. Ridgway or
dered the soldiers to fix bayonets and
drive the men back while the fire de-
partment combatted the flames.
AS they felt the sharp points of the
steel, the front ranks of the convicts
broke into run.
AS the flames began to quench be-
meath the hose of the fremen, many
of the revolters gave up and all but
200 of the convicts were thus placed
under lock and key. The remainder
sullenly stood their ground, and the
officers decided not" to fire on the
men except as a last resort.
Rain finally began to fall in tor
rents on the prisoners, and they sur
rendered in order to gain shelter
from the elements. All were quickly
placed in the steel barred cells, and
the riot was over.

Germans Make Use of
Hindenburg's Name to
Sustain Army's Morale

British Headquarters in France.
April so. via London. There are
increasing evidences daily of how the
German higher command is using the
name of Field Marshal Won linden
burg in an effort to sustain the
morale of the German fighting men,
which was lowered by the retreat
from the Somme ana the successful
launching of the British and French
offensive actions. Prisoners recently
taken also tell how Won HindenburS
continues to be held up to the Ger
man population as whole as the
man in whom it must repose conf
dence and hope of final victory.
The recent retreat was explained by
the desire of the German command
to take up a position in the famous
Hindenburg line and prisoners now
say that when it becomes known in
Germany that the British have turn
ed this position and taken possession
of several miles of 1t southeast OF

any statement to make when he re-
tired but would place in the hands
of his successor the report of the
auditors who made tLe audit of the

about $4,000 to the state and which
was a cause of sharp criticism in the

clined to make any forecast of the
financial condition of the State State

retire from office next Monday, may

Mr.. Powell is adiutant of the Tenth

be called to the colors shortly. There
were reports that in the event of
Roosevelt organizing a division to
fight in France he might join that
command. but the retiring Auditor
General smiled about them.
