you hadn't come in since you had left
this afternoon"
Ruth smiled. thanked her, and walked
up the stairs to her own place. She
htted the key into the lock and went
into the apartment. which seemed sud
denly small and narrow. She hated to
turn on the light and to see the old
familiar things that she had loved get
ting together. The place for the first
time seemed not like home she almost
hated II.
The first thing she did after swapping
on the light in the two lamps in the
living room was to look at the clock;
only 9:4O. What time would he be
home and where was he? After all,
hadn't her mother been right? She
really didn't know where he was. What
had been the use of all that pretense
before her mother when in her heart
of hearts she did feel hurt at what
Scott had done? Things simply couldn't
go on like this, another evening would
Kill her. Something would have TO be,
done. What was the matter with her?
wasn't she attractive enough to keep
her man at home with her?
She walked into her bedroom. sat down
before her dressing table and scrutin-
ICED herself in the glass. Yes, she was
attractive, much more attractive than
most women. In books and stories there
were men who never wanted to leave a
woman's side for an instant, and who
were treated with coldness and con-
tempt which simply made no difference
at all in their devotion. why couldn't 1t
be that way in real life? All of which
goes to prove that Ruth was not seeing
things in the right perspective at all. She
thought Just at present that to be a
sheltered woman, whose husband feared

CHAPTER VIII
MINE o'clock, and Ruth was deter
~ mined to go home. Defend Scott
as she had to her mother she was in
wardly hurt and angry. No one knows
but the old fashioned woman herself just
how difficult it is to be modern. Ruth
was, after all, the product of an old con.
ventional upbringing. Her mother was
now bringing to bear on her character
all of the old social order OF things
that had existed when she was girl
And Ruth herself was midway between
the two in belief. She had been through
an element of the great war and had
suffered a little BIZ, but not one-tenth
of what many other women had sut-
fered who had lost men or who had had
their men returned to them mangled. Ruth
had made a mistake in choice ana had
nearly had the power to rectify 1t taken
out of her hands. She had promised
to marry one man and had discovered
afterward that Scott, the man she loved
was in France and had been wounded,
degree undetermined. And she had SUI
fered until finally he had come back 10
her. But how quickly we forget. Sne
had Scott now, they were marrleu' All
of the grief and fear that she mad SUI
fered was over and so was the war.
Already it was beginning TO SINK lnto
the background; time does wondertuI
things. And in the meantime there
were tiny problems. married problems
to be faced, problems that. at times as
this problem she was facing now, TOOK
on mammoth proportions.
Well ! must run away, she re-
marked casually, rising.
You mustn't go home alone.
Mother, what nonsense
81 mean II. You've never run around
the city alone at night. / don't Know
what Scott can be thinking OF to alio"
it."
He has never said anything about
1t one way or another"
did he know you were coming over
here tonight?"
'T don't think he did. l didn't my
self until just before came you
know
what time will he be home?'
Il don't know, l didn't ask him.
Mother, I wish you wouldn't talk any
more about it,
"In walk home with you or have
Martha do it
o. 81 won't have It," Ruth had been
getting into her outdoor things, ana
she laughed now as though to take the
sting out of her words, If they had
any. you might just as well stop
trying to make a baby of me; m a
married woman now, and I'll prooaply
be out at night many times after TINS
one"
So in the face Of her mothers dis
approval as to her entire procedure
Ruth did leave alone and eventually
fould herself out in the brisk air and or
the way home. Would Scott be there? on
no, surely not so early. She wished II

own coin that she had somewhere in
teresting to go herself. OF course, she
could have stayed later with her mother
but she had been too restless there anc

HEARINGS ID BE HELD
 0N JONES AMENDMENT
Would Prohibit Making of In- tOxicants During War-Con- stitutiOnality of Amendment Doubted by Some Members.

Washington, June 14.-The Senate agriculture committee today reconsid- cred its vote of earlier in the day for favorable report on the proposal of Senator Jones of Washington for na- tional prohibition during the war, and decided to hold hearings on the amend ment. The committee, however, sus- tained tis former action in eliminat- ing from the emergency agricultural appropriation bill the Randall prohi- bition amendment.
 Senator Smith of South Carolina, acting chairman of the committee, na- nounced that the hearings will open next Monday and continue until pos sibly Wednesday after which the com mittee will determine what action it will take on the Jones amendment, which would forbid the use of grain and foodstuffs in the manufacturing of malt or vinous liquors during the war
 Several members of the committee including Senator Norris of Nebras- ka, are said to be of the opinion that the amendment would be unconstitu- tional If the committee decides to reject it Senator Norris plans to offer substitute.
 Rejection of the Randall amend ment is understood to have been un- animous. Under it's provision expen- diture of approximately $6,000,000 provided in the agricultural appro- priation would have been prevented

.U.bOAT COMMANDER
 SERVED IN J. 5. ARMY
Man Who Made Raid Off Our Coast is Identified-Said He Did Not Want to Sink Ameri- can Ships, But Had to.

New York, June 1.-The com mander of the U-151, one of the Ger man submarines which have been op- erating off the Atlantic coast, has been identified as Capt. Nustidt and he served five years as a gunner's mate in the United States navy, ac- cording to affidavits of officers and sailors on the schooners Hattie B. Dunn, Edna F. and Hauppauge, vic ,tims of the submarine. The docu- ments were brought here tolay by naval reserve officers arriving from Cuba.
 The seamen who made the affidavits are those who were picked up by a southbound American steamer after being held prisoner aboard the sub marine for eight days and set adrift. The American steamer took them to Cuba, where they were examined by the naval reserve officers.
 The affidavits give details also of the submarines construction and armament.
 The submarine is manned by crew of 76, is 210 feet long, % feet wide, has a shell of 3-4 incn steel, two 5.9 inch guns mounted fore and aft, is equipped with two periscopes, one over the coming tower and the other aft, has four stationary rapid-fire guns on deck below decks in racks, carries 100 rapid-ire rifles and had aboard IS torpedoes, according to the affidavits.
 Capt. Neustidt told his captives, they said, that his vessel left Kiel April ii, and up to June 7 had sunk 15 ships, six of which were American. From the schooner Isabel B. Wiley, the commander declared, he took enough food to provision his craft for six weeks.
 The U-boat skipper professed re- luctance to sink American vessels, but said he had no alternative, as he had been ordered by wireless from Kiel to get busy or come home"

PRESSURE BEING BROUGHT ID PUT
 JAPAN IN RUSSIA
intervention is Urged as Mill tary Necessity to Liberate Russia-War Councils Held at TOkiO.

Tokio, Friday, June 7.-An import ant council attended by Prince Fus- h;mi Field Marshals Yamagata and Terauch, the premier, Lieutenant General Oshima, the war minister, and others, was held in the general staff office today. A joint conference of the field marshals and the admirals has been summoned for June 10.
 The entente governments are bring inp increasing influence to bear to in- duce Japan to intervene in Russia. Among the French officers who have arrived in Tokio is Major Pichon, who was head of the French military mis- sion to Russia and whose recall was demanded by the Bolsheviki. Major pichon is striving for intervention in Siberia as a military necessity with the same energy that he opposed Roumania's entrance into the war as
The Prescott daily news., 1918-06-15

an ill-advised step. Major Pichon formerly was military attache at Bucharest.
 Apparently Japan is divided upon the question of intervention but the army is undergoing severe training. Regiments frequently are heard tramping through the streets at Tokio at night on their return from long marches and maneuvers.
 The partisans of intervention are finding support from A. I. Knovaloff, formerly minister of trade and indus try in the Russian provincial govern ment and especially from Jules Des- tree, who was appointed Belgian min ister to Petrograd in August, 1917. M. Destree, who is socialist, arrived in Japan after vainly seeking to leave Europe across Finland. He suffered great hardships in his journey and lived for 75 days in a railroad car.

 The committee also eliminated from the bill the House provision prohibit ing the use of any moneys appropri ated in the measure to any employe of draft age in the Department of Agriculture who had been given de- ferred classification.

Resting Before Undertaking Big Drive at Some Other Place, is Belief-Present Drive Has Been Checked.

Paris, June 14.-During the course of Friday there was no fighting be- tween the infantry on any sectors of the battle front. There was consider able artillery activity in the Hangard wood, south of the Aisne and in the sectors between Villers Cotterets and Chateau Thierry. American troops are on the battle line near Chateau Thierry.
 This information is contained in the French official communication is sued this evening, the text of which follows:
 There was no infantry action dur ing the day. The artillery fighting was rather lively in the Hangard wood, to the south of the Aisne and in the region between Villers- Cotter- cts and Chateau-Thierry.
 "The day was calm everywhere else.
 ''To the material captured from the enemy on the 11th of June, should be added nine guns, including seven heavy ones, and forty machine guns.
 Our chasing air squadrons have brought down five airplanes and two captive balloons. Seven other Ger man machines have been put out of action.
 During the night of June 1914 our bombing squadrons dropped on estab- lishments, stations and cantonments in the enemy zone nineteen tons of explosives, causing important dam age"

 Their offensive for the capture of Compeigne, with the eventuality of making further progress toward Paris from the base that they hope to at tain there, may be regarded as hav- ing met bloody check, costing them thousands of men belonging 10 their best divisions.
 There appears no doubt that the Germans desired to make an imposing advance toward the capital and at the same time inflict losses on the French and British before the American n army was ready to take the field
