Return of Admiral Fletcher

(By Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan. !. - Further
proof of the sweeping character Of
the powers vested in the commanders
in chief of the American naval and
military forces in Europe has been
disclosed in connection with the re-
turn to this country for duty OF Rear
Admiral William r, Fletcher. former
head OF the naval department in
French waters. and Major General
William L Sibert. who commanded

Policy Of Departments
Both the war and navy departments
face the necessity of framing a policy
to be followed with relation to publi-
cation of the names Of officers who
may be relieved from responsible
posts for the good of the service. The
question is said to be a delicate one
because the officers involved may
have proved unsatisfactory only for
a very special and limited class OF
duties. In such cases, officials feel.
that il is hardly fair TO announce that
they have been removed for inerlIci-
ency. as it might serve to blight their
careers.

bill designed to establish definite leg

water power, 3S.O00.00O horsepower OF
which Is estimated by government en-
gineers TO be wasted annually. The
result OF the conference was a plan
to create a special committee of the
house to take over all jurisdiction Of
waterpower problems now dealt with
by various committees and TO pass
the presidents bill promptly in the
house and send IL to the senate with
the Administrations support behind IL.
The president told the conference
OF his interest in water power legisla-
tion and urgent hope that both houses
would speedily enact the new measure
drawn BY the interior war and az
ricultural departments. He said the
bill was designed to reconcile diver
gent views which have interfered with
necessary legislation.

The bill follows closely the pro-
visions Of the Ferris bin which has
twice passed the house but failed

streets deaf to the plants of starving
children, blind to the misery of be-
seeching mothers. Rosa shrank into
doorway and drew her tattered shawl
closer over her face for fear Don Ma
rio might recognize in this misshapen
body and in these pinched, discolored
features the beauteous blossom he had
craved.
Nor did she forget Colonel Cobo. The
mans memory haunted her, asleep and
awake; of him she was most desperate
ly afraid. When for the first zine she
saw him riding at the head of his cut
throats she was like to swoon In her
tracks, and for a whole day thereafter
she covered in the hut, trembling at
every sound. M
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories Of the old Varona treasure and
EstebaH's interesting theory of its
whereabouts, but she could not bring
herself to put much faith in either. Of
course 1t was barely possible that there
was indeed treasure, and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct.
But it was little more than remote

hopes and half-beiiefs faded.
More than once she was tempted -

she thought better OF 1t. Although she
put implicit faith In Evangellna's dis
erection, she knew that Asensio was not
the sort of fellow TO be trusted with a

Just the sort to bring destruction upon
all OF them. Rosa had sufficient intel
ligence TO realize that even If she found
her fathers riches they would only
constitute another and greater men,
ace to the lives of all of them. Never
theless, she wished to set her mind at
rest once for all. Taking Evangelina
with her. she climbed La Cumbre one
day In search Of roots and vegetables.
1t turned out to be sad experiences
for both women. The negress wept
noisily at the destruction wrought By
Pancho Cueto. and Rosa was overcome
by painful memories. Little that was

selves among the other prisoners, and
In this they were successful. for none
Of their miserable neighbors were In
any condition to notice them, and
there was nothing sufficiently con-
spicuous about two tattered blacks
and their hunchbacked daughter to
draw attention from the soldiers.
Asenslo foraged zealously, and at
first he managed somehow to secure
enough food for his little family. One
day the soldiers seized him and put
him to work on the fortifcations along
with gang of other men who APP
peared strong enough to stand hard
labor. Asensio was not paid for this,
but he was allowed one meal a day,
and he succeeded in bringing home
each night share Of his allotment.
1t is surprising how little nourish-
ment will sustain life. Rosa and her
two friends had long felt the pinch
of hunger. but now they plumbed new
depths OF privation.> for there were
days when Asensio and his fellow con-
time Evangelina began making bas-
kets and weaving palm-leaf hats which
she sold at six cents each. She taught
Rosa the craft, and they worked from
dawn until dark. striving with nimble,
tireless fingers to supplement Asensio's
rations and postpone starvation. But
1t was q hopeless task. Other nimble
fingers worked as tirelessly as theirs,
and the demand for hats was limited,
Their hut overlooked the road to

which condemned prisoners were
marched out to execution, and in time
the women learned to recognize the

In the damp of dewy mornings they
heard that bugle they ceased their
weaving long enough to cross them
selves and whisper prayer for the
souls of those who were on their way
to die. But this was the only respite
they allowed themselves.
