If Germany were to succeed in the unbelievably al

were to sweep like devastating blight thru France,
and conquer England and desolate the with her
submarines, and land mighty invading force on
American soil; if she were to fant her despotic en-

One who was in St Quentin during the German
occupation tells stories of the invaders meth
DDS which deserve to be remembered One fine day
after that policemen stopped passersby in the streets
and asked them the time If the watches showed
French time they confiscated without further
ado. At another time the police made habit of
resting and taking to the police station anybody
man, woman, or child-wearng new moderately
boots. When they had been detained for some
time inspector came to them and made them take
off their boots. Then he said: Now go home as
fast as you can"

Was 1t Right to Do So?

Is an OF deception permissible IN the WORK OF
a public official? The answer the question will
be determined when one considers the object sought
TO be attained. James L. Mooney chief of the Chi
ago detective force is to congratulated for the
skill with which he succeeded securing the con-
fessiou of a dying man at his bedside in the prison
hospital Mooney had inkling that a prisoner
whose life was ebbing could, if he were 50
minded give the police information that might lead
10 the arrest of one or more OF notorious gang OF
burglars The chief realized that his appearing IN
policeman garb would be TO seal the mans lips; so
he hit upon the plan Of dressing in clerical attire
and assume the role of father confessor; sitting by
the bedside, he asked the man if he desired
TO make q confession but this first appeal met with
a rebuff he then, in very tender tones, said My
son you don't want TO go to the great beyond with
a burden of unconfessed sin This entreaty had the
desired effect and gently but clearly he drew from
the lips of the dying prisoner a story of crime in
which he and others had been participants. The
result was seen in the police raiding certain
house and locating man who had hidden beneath
his bed bonds to the value of $30S0O and nearly
$4,000 in cash. Did the end justify the means? We
believe it did.

She enters the consulting room in
a hesitating manner, as though in
doubt of the wisdom of her deci-
sion. She sits in the chair the doc
tor indicates, and then she goes
into a deep silence. Utterly unlike
the voluble woman who talks so
hard the doctor can get no infor-
nation at all.
She obstinately preserves her ST.

wait. In sheer desperation the
doctor finally betrays himself into
her hands. He grits his teeth,
smiles encouragingly, and says:

Then the wooden woman breaks
