that Count Andrassy ever made the
statement attributed to him from
Budapest-that President Wilson had
received Germany's peace terms-was
firmly expressed by two Berlin news
papers today in commenting on the
Hitchcock resolution in the United

The official press bureau circulated
extensive newspaper extracts to this
effect tonight.

and from our Impressions of the
practical results achieved by investors
in oil stocks we are still of the opin-
ion that this is the right time and the
bast opportunity for the people of our
lace to share in this Investment and
STICK TO IT. Sharing in the invest
ment cannot be otherwise than prof
table, as the demand for gasoline and
petroleum is so great that the usual
output will fall very short of the re-
quirement and therefore more wells
must be sunken which must result in
oil becoming one of the greatest in
dustries of the world No one can
doubt the fortunes that have been
made in oil investments, as we have
the proofs in the financial returns re-
warding the efforts of our people IN
Oklahoma and Texas, and therefore
the possibility of greater gains stands
to reason in taking part in develop
ing such wonderful resource in our
adjacent state which has made for
tunes for many people within the past
few years.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The lecture room was crowded last
Sunday afternoon to hear the address
of the Rev. DIR. ID. E. Over on his re-
cent trip to Atlanta. The address
was preceded by brief song service,
the singing being good owing to the
large number present. DIR. Over said
that as a result of that visit two con
clusions had forced themselves upon
him. The first was that, after all,
freedom was one of the greatest things
in the world-that to be able to walk
the streets like any other man is bet
ter than to own blocks of real estate
and other forms of wealth. The sec
ond was that the Negroes of the South
especially the better classes who have
wealth and could afford to live else
where, must be of a superior type, or
else they could never have stood the
oppression and prejudice of that sec
tion and made such remarkable prog
ress under it. DR.. Over was greeted
with prolonged applause at the CON
clusion of his address. The Rev. j.
ID. Rice, pastor of the M. E. church
in Topeka, was also present and made
very encouraging and helpful remarks.
During the week we had very pleas
ant visits from Mr. Dennis, who has
charse OF tne I. NJ. =. a. WORK III San
Francisco, and from Lieut. Charles
Blackwood of Trinidad, who has just
completed the course at Des Moines
and who is now stationed with the
Eighty-sixth division at Camp Grant,
Rockford, Ill.
Plans for the big membership cam
paign are well under way. Most of
the captains have filled out their
teams. The campaign will begin on
Monday evening. November 5th, and
close on the evening of the 18th.
Next Sunday afternoon the Rev. r.
l.. Smith, pastor of the Christ NJ. e..
church, will be the speaker. The meet
ing will begin at o'clock and all
men will be welcome. .

Is shown in the picture above. The
officer or other fortunate possessor of
an outfit so compact and practical can
carry with him all that he needs to
keep him fit and comfortable. 1t is
an evolution; the result of much In
genuity, and several trials on the part
of its designer, Mrs. Lillian Craig
Clark of Chicago.
1t is made of heavy brown denim

If it were not for those master de-
signers who devote their talents to
our work-a-day clothes, we might grow
tired of the sensible and substantial
fabrics that are suited to suits and
one-piece frocks that must stand much
wear. Taking the same materials year
after year, they develop them so clev-
erly into exponents of new styles that
we are strengthened in our allegiance
TO tried and familiar goods. Blue
serge is part of the play every sea-
son, and we are being continually re-
convinced that nothing else could be
quite as effective. And 1t is the same
with broadcloth, twills, cheviots, and
all the other old favorites.
Any of them might be used for the
,ne-piece frock, shown in the illustra-
ion. with success. II is modish and
graceful and is made to stand much
wear-a utility gown that will not
grow tiresome. Nothing could be SIM
pler than the bodice which achieves a
smart distinction with its pointed over
lap at the front, short peplum at the
pack and belt In two widths. The
sleeves, otherwise plain, hold their

arm with row of fiat bone buttons.

brushes, safety razor Tin box), shaving
stick and cream, comb talcum powder,
tooth powder and brush.
The wings make place for many
other things and some of the small
pockets are fastened down with snap
fasteners so that their contents cannot
slip out. Besides the articles already
named, this case carries paper, en-
velopes, postcards, pen and pencil,
blotter, postage stamps, small French
English dictionary, pipe, tobacco, hand
kerchiefs, needles, thread, pins, small
blunt-pointed scissors, unbreakable
mirror, sheepskin roll for shoes, fine
comb and towel, and still there are
compartments to spare for some other
things, as bandages and medicine,
which the individual may fill to suit
himself. But when all are placed and
the kit fastened, 1t is unbelievably
small and compact-no trouble to car
ry. Christmas is not so far away;
for men in the hospital units, officers
or any one else this is gift to make
them envied by their fellows.

each side, where an extra piece OF
drapery is introduced. This drapery
has the appearance of an extension Of
the plated front and is fastened at
the sides with very large bone but
tons, sewed to the skirt. A long, SIM
ulated buttonhole, by the side Of each

The belt and bodice are both fastened,
with snap fasteners probably, under
one of these large buttons.
A white satin collar is worn with
this dress, as with coats of tailored

several kinds of collars, since they
must be depended upon to furnish
little variety in appearance, as neck

Or was 1t wholly recognitionf In
the manner with which the head wait
er greeted them. Patria thought to de-
tect something like bewilderment
promptly dissembled. The impression
persisted that the sensation she ex-
cited was less curiosity than astonish-
ment.
= This impression was deepened by an
odd incident shortly after they were
seated. Patria's first glance was drawn
as II by hypnotic magnetism, directly
across the room to the face of young
man who, alone at a table for two,
had swung squarely round to stare at
Patria as IL he could not credit the
testimony of his vision.
1t wasn't long after that the orches-
ira struck up waltz, and Patria
nodded gayly In answer to PARIS quick
invitation. She was very fond of dan
cling, most of all fond of waltzing
with her Captain Parr.
Surprisingly. then. there came a
burst of handclapping from the ten
ants of other tables.
Patria hesitated, with an inqulring

he averred, laughing. Lets pretend
we notice nothing. dare say We'll get
some sort of clue to the mystery be-
fore very long"
They danced, but they danced alone.
BY common consent all others turned
to watch them. And when they paused
with the music and moved back to-
ward their table, applause again pur-
sued them.

tria gave over trying to conceal it.

Patria was waiting for Parr to hold
her cloak when she felt her arm i'm
prisoned in the brutal grasp of one
who had stolen up on her from be-
hind. Instantly she was swung round
and Identified her assallant with the
man at the adjoining table who had
been glaring at her so disconcertingly.

demanded, thrusting bloated face so

breath. ''Do you think I'm going to
stand any nonsense from you, my girl?
You can't sit with swells and cut me
dead-stare at me as If l was dirt
and then get up to go away without
me! YOU"
He broke off with an oath as Parr,
striking his wrist smartly forced him
to free Patria's arm, and at the same
time stepped between them.
Pale and trembling with rage. as he
was, Parr did his best to pass the af
fair off without further trouble.

the man sternly. you're drunk, or
I'd punish you for 1t. Get out of our

For reply he got sudden blow on
the jaw. Half-staggered, he stepped
back and retaliated with telling effect
until seized by waiters-even as the
drunkard was seized and held helpless,
and, for all his frothing struggles to
break free and get at Parr. dragged
off behind the scenes of the stage.
Hurriedly. to escape the uproar ex-
cited by the incident. the captain es-
corted his companions to the lobby.
Attendants at the door prevented them
from being followed by interested pa
irons. But there was no elevator i'm

waited, Patria uttered n low cry OF
dismay.

As he vanished through the swing

ly down In chair, while Fanny Adair
moved Off toward the dressing room
and disappeared.
A shadow bulked large between her
and the lights. She looked up with
start. The drunken brute who had
created that scene stood over her, in
his eyes a baleful glare. which froze
the cry of fright on Patria's lips. She
looked up. petrifed with terror.

of greater Importance to discuss with
you Dear Mrs. Adair, do you mind-?"
But she would not be dismissed so
cavalierly. She stood her ground.
If she must play the traitor in Pa
tria's camp, she meant to have her
stipulated price.
The baron shrugged and smote his
palms softly. The servant who slid
back screen in response interpreted
his gesture In twinkllng. and was
instant to bring his master lacquered

bills.
Her funds replenished from this
store of gold and bills, Mrs. Adair went

Alone with Senor de Lima, Baron
Huroki somewhat peremptorily de-
manded a repetition of his story about
the dancer of Montmartre.
Assuming that this resemblance
exists-that 1t is as close, as striking
as you declare-why should we not
buy this public woman, coach her to
play Patria, and so compass our
ends?"
The Mexican drew deep breath.
"You mean you would"

Mademoiselle Elaine in her place?

The luncheon at Claremont seemed
merely a natural prelude for motor

was a homeward drive to edge their

Almost poutlng. the girl assented.
From that betrayal Parr took his cue.

Couldn't we go some place and have

So they TAXED over to the roof of

formance was over by the time they
entered.
Almost Immediately. Patria repent

figured prominently In the public eye,
she was unprepared to find herself so
promptly recognized by so many peo-
pie.
