Gloria pushed on and on, growing
more and more doubtful of the way

The old chief Hitakee of the Cypress
Wolf tribe had more dignity than
wealth. But he owned a horse. II
was an ancient mustang and its man

the only horse owned by an eyerglade
Indian.
At the very time that Gloria had
been helped to solve her algebra prob

solving all his problems with the aid
or the medicine man of his tribe. He
died with great dignity.
The young brave Katcalani was the
logical successor to the chiefship. He
had his eye ON that horse and
dreamed OF himself astride 1t. The

chief stepped forward fora closer look
at it.
Thinking him a possible rescuer
Gloria turned on him one of her
ninety candlepower smiles. The eff
feet was greater than she had ex,
pected. Katcalani was dazzled. He
blinked, then turned his eyes on the
smoky Indian maidens clustered about.
Each of them had ambitious dreams
of being his wife. But shabbily as
Gloria was dressed she was a tearing
beauty In any company. Compared
to the unkempt daughters Of the ever
glades she was q goddess.
Katcalani's heart beat with a new
kind of excitement. He resolved to
begin his new craftsmanship with an
act Of courage. He would defy not
only the men, but even the women!
He seized Gloria's hand ana shouted;
"Tf boy is squaw he is my squaw."
Gloria did not understand the mean

not endee-ed her to the Indian women.
They murmured their wrath and would

not protected her. She drew closer
to him and he took that for consent.

PLENTY OF WORK,
BUT MANY WANT

New York, Jan. s. Despite the gen.
eraf prosperity the demands upon
charity organizations in this city are
virtually the same as in time of busi-
ness depression. says the Charity Or
ganization society, in its annual report
today. The report shows that during
the year ended September 30 aid was
given to 6,575 families, only 200 less
than the number helped in 1912 or in
1913, the years preceding the period
of unemployment, which reached It's
climax in the first FIVE months Of the
war.
"That there should be so much dis
tress in time of general prosperity
said the report, "is only another con-
firmauon of the societys long estab-
lished position that poverty Is not
merely a problem of employment or
unemployment. not entirely OF econ
omics and industrial conditions, but
that it is also a complex social prob
lem, whose roots lie deep in environ
ment. heredity and character and
health"
OF the families under the care Of the
society there were more Italians than
any other nationality. Americans
we're next and Irish third.

man of the U. S. steel corporation, in
his annual review of business condi-
tions made public today.
whether satisfactory business will
continue without interruption after the
war ceases, what rate or percentage
of decreases, IL any. in volume or profit
will ensue, when il at all, diminution
may be expected, are mooted ques-
tions." he said 1T is obviously the
better part of wisdom to prepare our.
selves, SO far as practicable for an un-
favorable change in the economic sit
uation. No harm can result from this
course, however unnecessary it may
hereafter prove to have been and much
benefit may come from the exercise Of
precaution
with our wealth, opportunities, geo
graphical situation, il we are an united
people, friendly to each other and also
to the people of all other nations alike,
and with reasonable cooperation be-
tween the business interests and the
government. we are impregnable. The
business man has many reasons to be
hopeful, but there are signs of future
uncertainty"

WEBB-KENYON LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
ANTl-LIQUoR ATTORNEYS SAY
DECISION is SWEEPING VIC
TORY FOR THEM.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. S.-The
Webb-Kenyon law, designed to pre-
vent liquor shipments from wet to
dry" states, was today declared con-
stitutional by the supreme court by
a vote of to 2, which also upheld
West Virginia's prohibition amend
ment prohibiting citizens from receiv-
ing liquor for personal use shipped by
common carriers in interstate COM
merce.
Attorneys for national liquor organ
izations who were in court said the
decision upholds and applies the
Webb-Kenyon law lin its broadest
sense"
Wayne E. B. Wheeler, counsel for
the Anti-saloon League OF America,
who with Fred Blue, state prohibition
commissioner of West Virginia, argued
the case before the court, made this
statement on the courts decision:
The states may now prohibit the
possession, receipt, sale and use of in
toxicating liquor and not be hampered
by the agencies Of interstate COM
merce."

GERARD CALLED ON
FOR EXPLANATION
ADMINISTRATION FEARS PUBLIC
UTTERAkCES MAY ANGER
ENTENTE ALLIES.

Washington, D. c., Jan. s. The re-
port by the Overseas News agency
Ambassador Gerard at pubic vel
come back to Germany had said that
never since the beginning Of the war
have the relations between the United
States and Germany been 50 cordial as
now" we're officially inquired into by
the state department today through a
cable to the ambassador personally.
Officials, in making this announce
ment refused to add any further com
ment except that they wished to know
exactly what he said.
The action of the department was in
terpreted as evidence of the impor-
tance attached to the possible effects
of such an utterance, especially upon
public opinion in the allied countries,
where published reports have shown
an impression that the presidents 8
note was in some way connected with
the central powers peace proposal
Every effort has been made to dispel
that belief.
1t is felt that if the Overseas News
reports were allowed to go unchalleng
ed that feeling would be very much in
creased. AS a result. the department
was prompt in making public it's in
quiry to the ambassador and probably
will give out his reply when received
1t is indicated also that the report as
quoted did not convey the true view Of
German-American relations, which
have commonly been described as
strained through the recent submar
me activities.

War Summary

Field Marshal Won Mackensen

defended barrier before the River
Sereth which the Russians had
constructed at Fokshani, has cap
tured that important Rumanian
town and taken nearly 1000 pris-
oners and three guns.
This notable success in the at
tack upon the Sereth line was
won by a fianking operation, the
Berlin report indicates.
Some nine miles northwest of
Fokshani, the dominating height

river Milcovu, which had been
strongly fortified was forced by
Teutonic columns. Giving the foe

in further and captured Fokshani.
The Russians have also lost
ground further north along the
Moldavian frontier between the
Putna and Oituz valleys, Berlin
announces. Towards the Danube
from Fchshani, however, the lat
est reports showed Russian Of
fensive of some importance which
admittedly had gained ground.
There also are indications that the
Russian line towards the Danube
is holding moro SnccaSSfuI1y than

While this heavy fighting has
been in progress in the Rumanian
war theater the Russians have
launched an offensive on the ex-
treme north of their line. between
Dvinsk and Riga Renewing their
attack, which last Friday resulted
in gain of ground along the
River Aa, they succeeded yester-
day in enlarging the scope of their
gain.
