To Seal Pact Anew.

The American soldiers who are visit
ing England, or who are receiving
their training in that country prior to
joining their comrades on the western
front, are sealing a fraternal compact
Of the Anglo-Saxon race which recalls
an incident that occurred just before
the war. The centennial Of Anglo
Saxon peace was to be duly celebrated
by ceremonies and exercises turnout
the empire and the republic. Toward
this end Americans in England had
decided to accept from the English the
gift of Sulgrave manor. the ancestral
home Of the Washingtons, In Warwick
shire, and to raise subscriptions to
make Of It permanent shrine and
place Of pilgrimage for Americans in
the old country. A day came when the
Duke Of Teck presented the manor will

Made His Mouth Water.

An ex-cannibal's regrets were told
by the bishop Of Bunbury, Australia.
The bishop formerly held the see of
Melanesia, which comprises what used
to be called the "Cannibal islands"
There he had for servant young ma
tive who, before his conversion, had
been a cannibal. One day the bishop
received, among presents from home
tin Of sleeps tongues, on which he
made a raid for his luncheon. The
hoy" looked on, his mouth watering,
but with perplexlty writ large ON his
face. He afterward confessed that he
thought the tongues were human. and
that his episcopal master had relapscd
into cannibalism. The dish reminded
him of delicacy which had been the
delight Of his unregenerate days.

next to the Wolverine ranch there was
no Billy Louise to taunt or tempt MIN.
John Pringle and Phoebe told him in
brief, stolid sentences of the later de-
velopments and gave him a meal and
offered him bed, which he declined.
When the suspense became madden
ing after that he would ride down to
the Wolverine for news. And the news
was monotonously scant. Phoebe could
read and write after a fashion, and
Billy Louise sent her a letter now and
then. saying that mommie was about
the same and that she wanted john
to do certain things about the ranch.
She could not leave mOmmle, she said.
Ward gathered that she would not.
Once when he was at the ranch he
wrote letter to Billy Louise and told
her that he would come to Boise 1t
there was anything he could do and
begged her to let him know If she
needed any money. Beyond that he
worked and worked and tried to crowd
the lonesomeness out Of his days and
the hunger from his dreams with COM
plete bone WEAKNESS. He did not ex-
pect an answer to his letter--at least
he told himself that he did not-but
one day Phoebe gave him thin little
letter.
Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribble line or two while mommie
slept. Mommie was about the same.
She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for offering to help. There was moth

PARIS. Jan. 8-.The one blg
topic in official circles in France
today is the fate OF ex-Premier Joseph
Caillaux and General Sarrail. There
are those in authority who see death
ahead for both Of these lately esteemed
men Il was predicted when the "Old
Tiger" Georges Clcmenccau, was made
premier that little time would clEpse
before Caillaux was brought to book
Already Caillaux has been slated to
stand trial for his life. General Maui
rice Sarrail is back in France, recalled
from Saloniki, and he, too, may face
a similar tribunal. Paris believes his
official head will come off at least and
possibly his physical head.
When ex-Prcmlet Callaux through
his close coniidant, Louis MaIvy
minister Of the interior and member
Of the war council, was a power, he
almost succeeded in carrying through
a scheme to bring back General Sar-
rail and invest hm. like Ioiire, with
the rank of marshal Of France, pre-
paratory to imposing him upon the al.
lies as commander in chief OF all the
entente forces in France.
