CHAPTER XIV.
A Business Journey.

"I have to go to the Klappan," Bill apprised his wife one evening, want to come along?'
 Hazel hesitated. Her first instlnc- tive feeling was one of reluctance to retrace the nerve-trying trail. But neither did she wish to be separated from him.
 "I see you don't" he observed dry ly. Well, I can't say that l blame you. It's a stiff trip"
 "Tm sorry I can't feel any enthusi- asm for such journey" she remarked candidly. Il could go as far as the coast with you, and meet you there when you come out. How long do you expect to be in thereT

 But you won't have to stay there all summer and oversee the work, will youi" she inquired anxiously.
 "I should" he said.
 For a second or two he drummed on the table top.
 But is there any real necessity for you to stay on the groundT" She pur- sued her own line of thought. Il should think an undertaking of this size would justify hiring an expert to take charge of the actual mining oper- ations. Won't you have this end of it to look after?"
 "Lorimer and Brooks are eminently capable of upholding the dignity and importance of that sign they've got smeared across the windows down. town" he observed curtly. "The chief labor of the office they've set up will be to divide the proceeds. The work will be done and the money made in the Klappan Range. You sabe that, don't you?"
 I'm not stupid" she pouted.
 "Pm going tomorrow" he said. 'T think. on the whole, it'll be just as we'll if you don't go. Stay here and enjoy yourself. I'll transfer some more money to your account. 1 think I'll drop down to the club"
 She followed him out into the hall, and. as he wriggled into his coat, she had an impulse to throw her arms around his neck and declare. in all sincerity, that she would go to the Klappan or to the north pole or any place on earth with him, if he wanted her. But by some peculiar feminine

Belgian Army Headquarters in
Flanders, Oct. 3l.-Some of the
German soldiers succumbed to the
offer of bergundy and champagne
and were found intoxicated when
the Belgians entered Ostend.
An old woman resident of the
town told the correspondent, who
wondered at the profusion of Bel

asked.
Manv other residents had hidden
their Belgian flags from the in
vaders.
The population is returning to
Ostend and there are also many
visitors in the city, making the food
problem rather difficult. Relief is
in sight, however, as communica-
tons are being re-established rap
idly. At the Dutch-Spanish food
commission headquarters the en-
ployes are dispensing pound tins
of American corned beef to the
hungry ones. Victor Firmon,
representative of the committee,
said that he expected to have the
situation in hand within few days.

WILSON CLEARS
up HIS TASK AS
TERMEDIARY
Framing Of Armistice Terms
by Allies Not Complete; In
formal Announcements
Said to Be Premature.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-President
Wilson cleared UP today his task as
intermediary for armistice and
peeace pleas of the central powers,
just as press dispatches were bring
ing news of Turkeys surrender and
of events foreshadowing an carly
collapse of Austro- Hungari0l arms.
Formally, as we'll as actually, the
whole question o. the conditions on
which the war may end now is be-
fore the American and allied repre-
sentatiVes in Paris. The next step
probably will be the decision of
these representatives on armistice
terms, unless before this is reached
Austria follows the example of
Bulgaria and Turkey and capitu-
lates in the field before the great
drive that is cutting i, forces to
pieces in Italy.
Possible Terms.
1t may be stated that, while the
armistice program which the Ger
mans await may not differ essen
TALLY from predictions that it will
include surrender of the German
navy and submarines, disarmament
OF the German armies and occupa-
ton of German strongholds, the
framing of the program has not
been completed and any informal
announcements arc premature. Ex-
changes between the American and
allied governments and discussions
among the representatives in
France still are in progress. 1t was
lntlmated today purely military
phases of the problem probably had
been worked out in advance by the
supreme war council, but that un-
hurried deliberations are necessary
to dispose of questions involved in
the making of permanent peace
which must be dealt with by finally
hiking terms of an armistice.
Great satisfaction over the davis
developments was evident every
where here. American and allied
military men expressed the opinion
that the only question now is
whether Germany will seek to DELAY
the inevitable by fighting a desperate
defensive campaign alone, or accept
the surrender terms now being
framed.
Germany's Hold on East Broken.
With Turkey and Bulgaria out of
the war and the Dardaneles and the
Bosphorus in the hands of the al
lies, Germany's hold on the east is
broken. Guard duty is the work left
for the military forces the allies may
consider necessary to keep there.
For the allied navies there remains
the job of capturing or wiping out
the German-controlled fleet on the
Black sea. No one believes that will
take long.
The disposition of European Tur-
key and the Dardanelles is ques-
ton brought suddenly to the front
by the armistice which has ended
Turkeys career as an ally of Ger
many. One thing is regarded here
as virtually certain-the Dardanelles
will never again be under the domin-
alton of Turkey. Great Britain and
France are determined upon this and
the American government has
voiced its approval of their position.
In some quarters the belief pre-
walls that the Dardanelles will be in
ternationalized, thus opening the
Black sea to the commerce of the
world and giving Russia an outlet
to the Mediterranean.

Below Belgium lies Luxembourg,

Below Luxembourg lies the Alsace,

To the far east lies Poland, once
a powerful nation, but now long

many and Russia.
Below Poland lies Bohemia, Sla-
vonia and Ruthenia, the home of
the Czecho-Slovaks. For years al
most without number these peoples
have been under the domination Of
the Austro-Germanic powers. First

Italy. they are now throwing off
the yoke of their oppressors.

Italy. Trentino is a purely Italiar
province, lit having successfully re
sisted every attempt to Germanizt
it as has the Alsace. 1t is as much

ically known as Venezia Giulia, i.

coast, lying along the eastern coast
of the Adriatic. While under Aus.
trian domination for many years
it is so purely Italian that the official
language is Italian, and the mem
bers of the Austrian Reichstag from
this section are authorized to speak
in that body in Italian. Steadily
all these years have the peoples OF
the lrredenta and their fellow coun-
trymen in Italy worked and
dreamed and planned for the day
when they might be returned with
honor to the protection of their be-
loved native land.
Scoring the overtures of the
German powers. preferring to fight
a righteous fight for their liberty,
rather than take it with German
faint of barter, the Italians joined
the allies at time precarious for
them and at the heighth of German
victory. Russia was crumbling. The
German armies were advancing
upon Paris the German emperor
in his arrogance thought he saw
almost within his grasp the realiza-
ton of his dream of world 1pmina-
tfon. He did not want to see Italy
enter upon the side of the allies
and was willing to have Austria
make most important concessions
to prevent it. Every effort, diplo7
matte and otherwise. was made to
swing Italy to the German side or
have her remain strictly neutral
But Italy, with her love of liberty
and justice, took her place by the
side of the allies and ever has her
voice in council been raised for the
oppressed peoples of all nations as
her soldiers have fought on all the
battle fronts of this great war.

Hughes Criticises Ford.
Mr.. Hughes in his report referred
to the retention by Henry Ford of
Carl Emde, as chief of his drafting
department, despite charges of pro-
German utterances against Emde.
After hearing complaints against
Emde, Mr.. Ford's reasons for keep
ing Emde were set forth in minutes
of the proceedings saying:
He (Mr. Ford) felt that it was a
time of sacrihce-that in the next
few years every man would be called
upon to make some sort of sacrifice
and that possibly Mr.. Emde, Ger
man born, was making his sacrifice
now when making drawings for the
Liberty motor to be used ultimately
against Germany.
Mr.. Hughes added that this in
dicated a "laxity at the Ford plant
with respect to those OF German
sympathies which was not at all
compatible with the interests OF the
government"
Among the principal charges
which Mr.. Hughes report declared
substantiated in part were that there
was delay in getting model planes
from the allies and in preparing
specifications for Their reproduction;
that plans were frequently changed
both on airplane types and
on the liberty motor; that some
manufacturers we'll qualified for
production failed to receive con-
| tracts, while others poorly prepared
