Bochcs Got Out Quickly.

Remarkable. too. in the fighting of
last week was the work of a northern
Alberta battalion which, when the
whole left wing was held up by the
strong enemy position in Jigsaw
wood. stormed the village of Pelves
on the Scarpe river and then bombed

line. Dividing here company work

was taken from the rear.
This exposed the north flank of Jig

back out of It. AS they went this bat

they had occupied a tremendous rifle

old plainsman. The boche got out of
that wood quick, but mighty few got

the greatest of all obstacles to peace.
Therefore I regard this opposition as
a serious mistake.
Concerning the league of nations
Count CZernin said:
1T must admit that the league of
nations is envisaged by entente
statesmen and intends to secure en-
tentee predominance, and therefore
is unacceptable to us. But deny that
no single form could be found that
would impose equal rights and duties
upon all states"
Count Czernin concluded his inter-
view with a call for peace as follows:
From the banks of the Danube this
call ought to go forth to the world:
Wake up, wake up from the bad
dreams Of blood and force, for a new
and better future must be shaped.
War as a political means must be
combated.' The day will come when

His friends arrived at midnight, and
at half-past twelve the motor passed

once more the seconds fell hastily
and monotonously in the heavy still

clash, like the arm of railway signal

from one end to the other, like an
arrow, leaving a glittering track be-

Eight of these pals came out of the

And the removal began.
1t did not take long. Arsene Lupin
passed from one piece of furniture to
another. examined it, and, according
to its size or its artistic value, spared
it or gave an order:

exquisite Workmanship. He forced
the lock with a jimmy, and it was an
unspeakable pleasure to him to finger
those gems of gold and silver, those
precious and dainty little works of
art.
Hanging. round his neck was a
large canvas bag specially contrived
to hold these windfalls. He filled it.
He also filled the pockets of his
jacket, waistcoat, and trousers. And
he was stuf1ing under his left arm a
heap of those pearl reticules beloved
of our ancestors and so eagerly
sought after by our present fashion
when slight sound fell upon his ear.
He listened; he was not mistaken;
the noise became clearer.
And suddenly he remembered. At
the end of the gallery an inner stair
case led to a room which had been
hitherto unoccupied but which had
been allotted that evening to the
young girl whom Devanne had gone
to meet at Dieppe with his friends
the d'Androls.
With a quick movement he press
ed the spring of his lantern and ez-

the door at the top of the staircase
opened and the gallery was Lit by a
faint CLEAN.

would come no farther. 1t continued,
however. and took several steps into
