Sprouse turned the knob and opened
the door a half inch'or so. He left the
room so abruptly that Barnes never
quite got over the weird impression
that he squeezed through that slender
crack. and pulled it after him!
Many minutes passed before he
turned on the light. The key of the
box was tied to the wire grip. With
trembling fingers he inserted it in the
lock and opened the lid. "a
half-million dollars worth of nice lit.
tie things" Sprouse had said!
He did not close his eyes that
night. Daytreak found him lying in
bed. with the box under his pillow, a
pistol at hand, and his eyes wide open.
He was in a graver quandary than
ever. Now tnat he had the treasure in
his possession, what was he to do with
It?
He solved the breakfast problem by
calling downstairs for a waiter and
ordering coffee and rolls and eggs sent
up to his room. Singularly enough the
waiter solved the other and more dis.
turbing problem for him.

worthy. "Felnr up in one of the cot

RUSSIAN DOG SAVES YANKS

A white "husky" dog. apparently
the mascot of Bolshevist regiment,
recently saved an American company
from an ambush in the bushwhackinc
war near kadish.
The Americans had large rear
GUARD outpost mile behind the town
and the Bolshevists, heavily reinforced
and with considerable artillery, began
shelling the American positions. The
Americans successfully repulsed MI al
.acks anl were kecnlv watching the
swamps bordering the road in tatir
rna-.
One afternoon a sentinel OF the rear
guard, who had participated in pre-
vious enga 2emerts, during which a
white "husky" dog appeared with the
B, lshevist forces, saw the dog IN the
woods.
His warning. followed by aobit OF
scouting led to the discovery that the
Bolshevists were moving through the
swamps to cut off the Americans IN
the rear at the Petrograd road. The
troops were able to withdraw in the
darkness to the positions behind a
bridge over the Emtsa river.

More Shooting and Grenade Throw
ing in Berlin Resentment Over Kill
ing of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg.

Luxembourg.
Berlin, Jan. 1S.-At 10 o'clock
Thursday night there was shooting
and grenade throwing Inter den Lin
den. Spartacides fired on government
troops.
Twenty thousand troops from the
West front were pouring into the
home front" to protect the election
arrangements. A political machinery
for the national assembly elections
has heen built by mixing the Frerch
and American systems of voting.
A wave of Indignation, deep and
hateful, is sweeping hundreds of thou
sands of workmen in Germany because
of the murders of Dr.. Karl Lieb-
kne.ht and Rosa Luxembourg.
The Ebert government regards the
murders as a catastrophe, and it IS
believed certain that bloody events
viii be the sequel according to d
ret advices from the capital. a sea-
cral strike is expected to be proclaim
ed in Berlin.
Il is now doubtful if the elections
can take place Sunday as scheduled
because of the tremendous excitement
over the murders which the govern
ment is accused of having caused.
Indeed, it is feared the coming days
in Berlin will be even more sanGu:nary
than anything that has happened since
the revolution. Several other Sparta
Gus leaders were arrested Thursday.
The German worl1men looked upon
Liebknecht as demigod. Now ne is,
in their eyes, martyr to the cause
of the prcletariat. Many additional
workmen are joining the spartican
ranks. Thousands are parading the
streets crying for vengeance.

Paris, April 1O-The council Of four
has reported an agreement on the Saar
valley. The agreement leaves SOW
ereignty over the. valley unchanged
but accords to France free of duty
sufficient coal for the Lorraine iron
industry and to replace the produc-
ton of the mines destroyed in the
Lens mining district. with the privi-
lege to the Germans of restoring the
Lens mines
Paris-The text of the reparatiOn
clause as finally approved by the
council of four specified that enemy
countries must admit responsibility
Cor all loss and damage to allied and
associated nations and their citizens
due to unjustifiable aggression. The
Of the German emperor
for the war and the means for bring
ing him to trial by one of the allied
governments, probably Belgium. have
been definitely determined upon by
the council of four.
This follows the definite decision
on the terms Of reparation for war
damages, whereby 5000 600 must
be paid within. the next two years
and an inter-allied commission assess
the remaining damage for a period of
thirty years beginning MAJ. !, 1921
Thus, two Of the great obstacles
which stood in the path Of the rapid
attainment Of peace have been re-
moved within the last twenty-fOur
hours.
Germany is to pay the entire cost OF
the commission and staff during the
thirty years OF operations The first
payment Is to be credited against Ger
many's obligation to pay for the main
tenance Of the allied troops In the oc-
cupied regions, and the second pri-
ority il for the payment Of food relief
furnished to Germany.
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the Polish
premier, was summoned before the
council of four today to present the
claims of Poland. The premier will
urge that Danzig must be given to
Poland and that Poland must have
the coal fields of Teschen, Silesia,
Belgium, on which the war fell first
and heaviest, Is reported to have taken
view much similar to that of the
| United States, while Japan and Italy
were partially in accord with the
American view. 1t was owing to these
divergent viewpoints that the council
devised a new plan. whereby one OF
the allied nations, probably Belgium
would initiate prosecution aEainst the
former emperor and others responsible
for the breach Of treaties, the inva
sion of territory and the destruction
directed against this country and lead

Paris, April 9.-The return Of Pres
ident Wilson to the council Of four
and the progress made on varions
questions has removed much OF the
tension which existed In conference
circles and has led to renewed conf
dence In an early and satisfactory con-
clusiOn.
The reparatiOn problem now u con-
sidered definitely settled and only
minor details concerning the func-
tions Of the commission to allot the
annual installments from Germany re-
main to be arranged. The Polish Ques-
ton, including the status of DanxiE.
Is also nearing settlement on the basls
of Observation-Disclosures of the city.
Danzig as free port avoids the neces-
sity of recognizing the claims Of either
Poland or Germany. while the former
will have a corridor to the Baltic to
the limits Of the internatiOnnlized
town.
The views OF President Wilson's
attitude on French claims before the
peace conference put forth by "ccr-
tain American circles" are declared by
the Matin to be entirely fantastic. :
President Wilson, the Matin says, Ia
coDscientiously studying the final de-
tails Of the preliminary peace. The
Petit Parlsien comments In much the
same vein. emphatically denying that
there are differences between the
French and American delegations, ee-
pecIally regarding financial questions,
as has been declared
The Paris newspapers as a whole
reiterate the view that 1t will be sev-
eral days before the work Of the con-
ference will be completed In such a
way that peace may be made stimuli
taneously with Germany and her al
lies. They predict that the meetings
In Versailles probably will take place
within fifteen or twenty days, how
ever.
