SLAVES OF THE LAMP"

WIN VI kNt"Fs
In a book called "Norroy, Diplo-
matte Agent" years ago George Bron-
son Howard introduced new figure
into the sensational literature of the
secret service.
Yorke Norroy makes his bow again
to American readers in Mr.. Towards
Slaves of the Lamp" a detective
story which has it's beginnings in
China, attains to q widely interna-
tional reach, but has most of it's action
in New York. Indeed, Its author
styles it "A Manhattan Nights Enter
tainment."
AS this story opens, Yardle Strong,
captain in his imperial Chinese ma
jesty's cavalry, completes, as he
supposes, the task of stamping out
the opium curse. He has blown up
the last of the great opium factories
and has seen the employees led to
execution and the plant burned.
That he has overlooked a bet in pass
ing along four curiously engraved
jade plates he does not know. He
dies without finding out his mistake.
1t then becomes the job Of Yorke Nor
roy to take up the work Of finding and
disposing Of the plates.
! Mr.. Towards account of the jades
and of the people concerned with them
is full of action, great deal of 1t
violent, with the necessary portion Of
romance. 1t will keep busy almost
any lover of lurid narrative.

NATIONS TRIBUTE
TO DRAF TED MEN
PRESIDENT MARCHES IN FRONT
RANKS IN PARADE OF DRAFT
ED MEN AT WASHINGTON.
Members of Congress and Diplomats OF
Allies Join in Procession of Homage
to Men Selected From Dis
trict of Columbia.

Washington. - The president and
congress of the United States and the
allied nations through their diplomatic
representatives joined Tuesday In
paying honor to the men selected from
the District OF Columbia for service
in Americas national army raised for
the battle for democracy.
Washington, long used to glittering
professions, opened its eyes and
cheered itself hOarse at the spectacle.
For two hours, while in other cities
throughout the nation other thousands
moved over the first part of the long
road that may lead TO French battle
fields, Pennsylvania avenue heard the
tramp of marching men, the jingle of
spurs and the rumble of artillery.
President Wilson himself, eyes to
the front, stepping like freshly
trained recruit, marched at the head of
the long line, surrounded by com
mittee of citizens which arranged the
parade. Behind him, In unbroken
ranks, came most of the members of
the senate and house, In such trib-
ute as they probably never have given
on any occasion in the long years
since this country became a nation.
When he reached the White House
the president left the ranks and took
his place in the stand by Mrs. Wilson,
1t was the second time he had gone
nfoot over Pennsylvania avenue. The
first was when he had led the pre-
paredness parade before the United
States went to war.
About 10000 men. women and chill
drcn passed II reviewing stand before
the White House, where the president
and his guests watched the parade
More than half of the long line was in
uniform.

GERMAN MONEY
SUPPLIED |. ". v.
FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR
AGAINST AUSTRIA MAY BE
THE DIRECT RESULT.
Alleged That Teuton Money Was Paio
into Some OF the Organizations That
Have Been Attempting to Start
Labor Troubles in Cnited States.

Washington Formal declaration Of
war against Austria and the other
Teuton allies Is regarded as probable
rs the result Of the recent raids
against the l. W. w. and scditIon-
breeding headquarters
The department OF justice, it was
learned Friday, has been informed
through ltnllan sources that Teuton
money has been paid into some Of the
organizations rounded up. This money
was handled by agents Of the German
allies against whom the United States
has not yet declared war but who are
permitted free run Of this country
Department OF Justice officials
characterized the raids as successful In
every particular
we got every scrap of evidence
that we expected to get" said one of
the officials OF the department.
This Ii taken to mean that the de-
partment has clluched the stories
which have been told by the rcprcsen.
tatlyes of the allies This Information
follows closely along the line of that
gathered by several senators and rep
resentatiyes in congress, who said Ger
man money was behind the /. w. w.
propaganda.
Declaration of war with Austria Is
move that the United States has hes.
itnted TO make. The nation has, how
ever fairly dared Austria. After
brusquely chasing the Austrian am
bassador from this country, the United
States proceeded to lend money To
Italy and furnish supplies to her In an
open manner. This support has been
even more free In the last few weeks.
Officials of the state department do
not cndeavor To conceal their desire
that Austria might be provoked into Il
declaration of war Austria, however,
has refused consistently to move. She
has, Il is believed. under German In
fluence, counted too valuable the serv-
ices OF the agents which she and Bull
garia and Turkey have been able TO
maintain In this country.
With the revelations that are OK
pected to follow the indictment of the
l. W. w, and other leaders at Chicago
and the display of the evidence of the
financial support gathered, It Is ex-
pected that the United States win take
the initiative ana declare war against
oil OF the countries allied with Ger
many.
