Washington, June 6.-The drinking

Taylor and some other Marines were
wandering down a deserted Spanish
highway, leading through the jungles.
and chanced TO approach a leper
colony, maintained by the government
on the island. Some native women
were extracting juice from cocoanut
trees for the purpose of allowing it to
ferment and become "toddy".
Nearby was the Wevil's Punch Bowl.

1t is admitted that sharp differ

To fix the responsibility for the
deadlock is impossible. An impen

Added to this problem is the con-
fusion of views .emanating from the
conference as to what attitude, if
any, should be adopted toward the
bolsheviki. The secrecy with which
the subject has been handled has
given rise to grave concern.
In the British House Of Commons

Albert Calls on House.
King Albert of the Belgians again
Shattered all precedents of royalty

Later King Albert discussed with
President Wilson Belgium's priority
claim to have Brussels made the
seat of the league of nations.
1t can be stated with authority
that the time limit within which
positive action must be taken one

given added impetus to the urgings

With u new danger Of ex-
posure. These We're Illinof5 troops
10 BIZ transported-not regulars,
but militia, gathered from hundred
hamlets-and many among them would
be open enemies Of slavery. Let such
men as these, rough with the pioneer
sense ef justice, once suspect the situ-
alton of those two women, especially
if the rumor got abroad among them
that Eloise was white, and the slave
hunter would have hard row to hoe.
'lAnd l made up my mind such rumor
should be sown broadcast; aye, more,
that if the necessity arose, 1 would
throw off my own disguise and front
him openly with the charge. 1 could
do no more.
1t was only an accident which gave
me a clue to the real program. Mapes
sent, me back into the vacant space
just forward of the paddle-wheel, seek
ing lost canthook, and, as / turne.
about to return, the missing tool in my
hand, paused moment to glance
curiously out through slit in the
boats planking, attracted by the sound
Of loud voice uttering a command.
I was facing the shore and body OF
men, ununiformed, slouching along
with small regard to order, but each
bearing a rifle across his shoulder,
were just tipping the ridge and plow-
ing their way down through the Slip
perry clay in the direction Of the for
ward gangway. Although I saw, not
for an instant did my gaze linger on
their disordered ranks. The sight
which held me motionless was rather
that of long, broad plank, protected
on either side by rope rail, stretch
ing from the slope of the second deck
across the narrow gulf Of water, until
II rested its other end firmly against
the bank.
The meaning Of this was sufficiently
apparent. For some reason of his
own, Kirby had evidently chosen this
means of attaining the shore, and
through personal friendship, Corcoran
had consented to aid his purpose. The
reason, plainly enough, was that by use
of this stern gangway the landing par
ty would be enabled>to attain the bank
without the necessity of pushing their
way through the crowd Of idle loung-
ers forward. Andthe passage had just
been accomplished, for, as my eyes TO-
cussed the scene, they recognized The
spare figure of the deputy disappear
ing over the crest-a vague glimpse,
but sufficient. At the same Instant
hands above began to draw IN the
plank.
There was but one thing for me to
do, one action to take-follow them.
Dropping the canthook, l turnsd aft
md crept forth through small open
ing onto the wooden frame which sup
ported the motionless paddlewheel,
choosing for the scene Of operations
the river side, where the boat effective
ly concealed my movements from any
prying eyes ashore. 1 lowered myself
the full length Of my arms, dangling
there an instant by clinging to the
framework, then loosened my grip and
dropped silently into the rushing wa
ters beneath.
