AUTO BUILDING TO STOP
War Industries Board Tells Manufac-
turers to Work on Munitions
This Year.

Washington, Aug. -Manufactur-
ers Of passenger automobiles were ad-
yised by the war industries board on
Friday to convert their plants to 100
per cent war work not later than Janu-
airy /. The National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce received the in
formation in response to manufacture
crs who volunteered to curtail 80 per
cent.
The letter in part follows:
The war industries board cannot mt
this time make any promise whatso-
ever regarding the supply to your in
dustly of steel, rubber or other mate
rials for any period in advance.
I'VE strongly believe that it is to
the best interests Of manufacturers OF
passenger automobiles to undertake to
get on 100 per cent war work as rapid
IL as possible, and not later than Janu-
airy /, 1919.

TO EXEMPT MARRIED MEN
Secretary Baker Urges Change in Law
So Rcoistrants Need Not
Classify Selves. ~

Washington, Aug. 12.-New draft
regulations, under which the govern
ment would do the selecting, are under
consideration by the war department.
This was disclosed on Friday by Sec
retary Baker. after he had appeared
before the senate military committee
to urge prompt enactment of the act
extending the age limits. He made 1t
plain that he Is not satisfied with the
present system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred classifica-
ton. Many with dependents hesitate
for patriotic reasons to make such n
claim. He said he was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation will
itself constitute deferred classinca-
ton. He wishes to lay down a set OF
questions for the registrant to answer
and then have rules take care of the
classification.

poor Rosa! You two poor crea-
tures!" OReilly choked; he hid his
face upon his sweetheart's breast.
Rosa responded; her fingers caressed
him and she sighed contentedly.
O'Reilly's ascent Of the hill had been
slow, but his descent was infinitely
slower, for Rosa was so feeble that
she could help herself but little and
he lacked the strength to carry her
far at time. Finally, however, they
reached the wretched hovel where
Asensio lay, then leaving her there,
Johnnie sped on alone into the city.
He returned soon with several small
bundles concealed about his person.
and with Evangelina's help he set
about preparing food.
Neither Rosa nor the two negroes
had any appetite-their hunger had
long since passed the point at which
they were conscious Of it-and O'Reilly
was compelled to force them to eat.
When he had given them all that he
dared he offered what food was left
to Jacket.
The boy moistened his lips and his
fingers twitched, but he shook his head.
"Oh, I'm not so hungry" he declared.

saying: "You are a good kid, and you
understand. don't you? These sick
people need more food than we can
buy for them, so we will have to draw
our belts tight"

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Haunted Garden.

Rosa Varona did not die On the
contrary. under her lovers care she
made so amazingly swift a recovery
that improvement was visible from
hour to hour; she rallied like wilted
flower under refreshing rain. 1t was
OReilly's presence as much as the
nOurishlng diet provided by his money
which effected this marvel, although
the certainty that Esteban was alive
and safe put added force into her de-
termination to live. Rosa found hope
springing up in her breast and one day
she caught herself laughing. The mar
vel Of 1t was unbelievable. O'Reilly
was sitting beside her bed Of leaves
at the time; impulsively she pressed
his hands to her lips.
"Such happiness as mine belongs In
heaven" she managed to tell him.
Sometimes 1t frightens me. With you
by my side this prison is a paradise
ing, distress-I can't imagine they
longer exist"
Nevertheless, they do, and Matan-
zas is anything but a paradise" said
he. "We must set about quickly to get
out Of it."
Escape, you mean? But that is i'm
possible. AsensiO can tell you all
about that. The SpaniardS used to Is
sue passes for the men to go outside
the lines in search of food. 1t was
just a trick. They never came back
all Of them were killed. Everyone
knows better than to try nOw."
Nevertheless, we can't stay here
much longer" In answer to the girls
puzzled inquiry he explained: my
money Is gone-all but few cents.
This is the last of our food and there
is no chance of getting more. Jacket
has some mysterious source Of supply
and he manages to bring in something
every now and then, but there are five
of us to feed, and he can't furnish more

RUSS REDS TO
WAR ON ALLIES
j. S. Consul Reports Hostile Ac-
tivity by BoIsheviki at
Moscow.
RESENT INVASION BY TROOPS
Lenine Tells Gathering Of Soviets In
Moscow State of Conflict Exists
Foreign Secretary Calls It
Estate of Defense"

Washington. Aug. 12.-Consul Poole
ut Moscow has informed the state de-
partmcnt that Lenine, the bolshevik
premier. recently declared before
gathering of soviets in Moscow that
Il state OF war existed between the
Russian government and the entente
allies. In response to questions from
the allies consuls, Tchitcherin, COM
miSSiOnaire of foreign affairs, said that
the premier's statement need not be
considered a declaration of war, but
that 1t rather was declaration Of
state of defense on the part of Rus
ria. similar to the situation that ex-
listed at one time with Germany.
The cOnsul's report, received by ca
Bile, gave the state department its
first official information confirming re-
ports that the bolsheviki were for
mally characterizing as an act of war
the operations of the allies forces
on the Murman coast.
Tchitcherins explanation was made
publicly, the consul said, at the re-
quest OI tne dlHeS cOnSulS. MI. IOOle
also reported that in spite of denlals
of the authorities, the bolsheviki were
throwing obstacles in the way of the
departure from Russia of British and
French military representatives.
From Archangel the state depart
ment received word that the bolshe-
wiki, upon hearing of the landing of
allied troops at Omega had asked for
an explanation. AviatOrs of the al
lies dropped propaganda in the city
Of Archangel, whereupOn the bolshe-
Wiki evacuated the town before the al
lied troops marched in. The British,
French and United States cOnsuls
were arrested on August 3 by detach-
ment of Caucasian cavalry, for their
protection" but as previously report
er, were released upon the appear
ance of the allied soldiers.
Gen. Kikuzo Otana, one of Japan's
most noted soldiers, has been chosen
TO command the japanese section and
will be the ranking officer of the ex-
petition in Siberia by forces OF the
Uaited States and its allies.

fell to stroking her hands, calling upon
her to come back to him. He was be-
side himself now; terrible feeling of
impotence and despair overcame him.
U"aring someone speak, he raised
his eyes and discovered at his side that
figure Of want which he had seen dig
ging on the slope below. 1t was Evan
gelina. The negress was little more
than skin and bones. her eyes were
bleared and yellow and sunken, her
face had grown apelike, but he rec
ognlzed her and she him.

clared. you are Rosa's man."
"Yes. But what Is wrong with her?
Look! She Is ILL"

The girl was not wholly unconscious 1t
seemed. for she stirred and murmured
family: 'Those wagons! Don't let
them put me In there with the other

weak shudder convulsed her.

"Esteban alive? Ha! You are fool

ut that moment, so he hallooed to the
boy; then when the latter had arrived
he explained briefly, without allowing
Jacket time In which to express his
amaZement:
"Our search Is over; we have found
them. But they won't believe thai
Esteban Is alive. Tell them the truth
"Yes. he is alive. We found HIN
rotting in a prison and we rescued

curiously at the recumbent Figure or
