through the roses. The terrace was
lighted. She avoided 1t. making de-
tour that led by side entrance into
old Hilary's library. For obvious rea-
sons, old H.lary's private telephone
was in sound-proof closet.
Before Walter had taken a hundred
watchful PAGES down the road she
had Ward at the other end Of the
line. What with running and terror,
she could hardly speak. Once, long
ago, she had heard discussion be-
tween Boroday and her father about
the use Of the telephone. Its sub
stance was that when the transmitter
is held to the chest clear message
may be sent, but with the effect of dis
tance. She held the transmltter to her
breast then. and 1t seemed to her that
Ward must hear the throbblng Of
her heart.
Hello. hello!" came hin quick re-
/. sponse.
No need to ask who 1t was. She
knew every infection of his voice.
This is-a FRIEND, Ellnor painted.

"Yes" Very incisive now.

She stopped. What was she doing !
She. her fathers daughter, the head
of the band! BY warning Ward she
might be sending Walter to his death.
A yision of Did Hilary. gray-headed,
kecn-eyed, at this very telephone,
flashed into her mind, old Hilary,
whose religion had been Of keeping the
faith. not with his God. but with his
men.
"Who are you2" The impatient
voice was saying in her ears. "Are you
sure you want me? This is Ward. of
Saint Jude's."
Elinor quietly hung up the telephone
;ransmitter, and stood in the darkness,
her hands to her throat.
Old Henriette, ever watchful, came
into the library beyond. Elinor could
hear her wandering about. knew the
moment when she discovered her wrap
on a chair. heard her plaintive voice
speaking through window b IL

Elinor let her go. When her shuf-

THE MEANING IS PL A

President wilson has such a polite way of saying the most drastic
things that there is still a question whether his latest reply TO n oer-
q reouest for an armisice will be taken at its full meaning. There
can he no doubt as to what the President wishes to convey to the

great mass of the American people.

r. n,oof that the government is actually responsible to the people,

thing for the military leaders in the field to arrange.
In the meantime, there is every indication that Austria is

OF course. the German war lords will repudiate such a condition
~ no President has laid down and there is a possibility of the war
;rapoinp on drought the winter. But with the opening OF spring,
with the United States at the peak OF strength, there is 10 reason why
onfk work cannot be made of the whole affair.
There is a possibility, however, that the people of Germany, find
;u1 themselves fighting alone against practically the whole clvlhZed
world will arouse themselves and shake off the yoke of the military
lea1ers and the iunkers. Then, too, Germany financial condition

ming of the war her finances have been run on credit piled upon credit
with the understanding that all would be made good in the end by
enormous war indemnihes that were to be demanded of the defeated
entente. Now that it is beginning to dawn upon the people that it is
Germany that is to be defeated, her financial system becomes a mere
beuse of cards. Germany's leading fnanciers foresee the crash and
they are likely to make their influence felt in the final outcome.
President Wilson S latest note must convince the most hopeful in
Germany that there is no peace possible through negotiation at the
present stage of the war. With the military unable to force peace, it
looks as if the humiliation of the German empire would be complete
