have come too far"
"Too far?" McKabe seemed a bit
puzzled How do you know we've
come too far?"
LET us 20 back and prove it," said
Semi There is no time to ex-
plain"
McKabe frowned slightly and took
the back track
81 guess it's your case" he mum
BLEED, " an l hope you know what
you're doing. l don't"
We retraced our steps and once
more 1 noticed the odd trailing ex-
preston settled over Dual's features.
Lucille glanced back at me as in ques-
ton, and I nodded to her without
words.
We walked on. Behind us I heard
Reich speaking to Colonel Mac. Dual
spoke again;
"Stopi This is the place"
We had come to the front Of the
building where many lanterns of a
great size swayed in the breeze from
balcony lined with flowers, above a
doorway painted red and lettered with
ideographs of gilt.
McKabe stopped.
This joint" he asked. well all
right. This is the SWEETEST place in the
town. All the big men give their par
. ties and banquets here. For a man
who's never been here before you're
a good picker, Mr. Dual"
He grinned slightly and turned to-
ward the door of the place.
1 started to follow after Lucille and
Semi. Reich and Sheldon were behind
me, and Homer burst out into objec-
lions.
This is all piffling nonsense, ] tell
youi l don't want. to eat chop suey-
l want to find Lilly. Come on, Shell
don. let's slip this bunch and do some
thing. It's been dinners and tea par
ties ever since we started. l can't
see"
l turned back, just as Sheldon seiz-
ed his companion by the arm and lit
orally ran him up the steps.
81 know you can't see, son." he
rumbled, " an neither can I. l amt
tryin' to any more. But Dual's wise
an he told me to stop your tryin' to
kick over the traces, an I'm on the
Job. Shut up an come on. don't like
tea any better than you do"
The thing was ludicrous, and
found myself grinning as l resumed
my progress after the others.

We came into an entry where was
a counter. a modern cash register, and
a Chinese cashier wearing pair of
very large shell-rimmed glasses. He
nodded US toward a stairs, and we be-
gan to mount.
Above us l heard the climbing feet
of Dual and McKabe and Lucille, and
l ran up after.
At the ton we turned and mounted
yet another flight of stairs and
emerged into a passage before an
arched entrance into a room set out
with Oriental trappings.
We went in and sat down at
table.
l gazed around. Beyond me were
the windows opening onto the balcony
of flowers. Around me were EN-
broidered screens and screens OF
lacquer with birds and flowers of
ivory carving strewn across them.
Curtains of bamboo painted and gid
ed swung from the ceilings.
lockwood tables and chairs,
quantity carved, were scattered all
over the room. At far table party
of Chinese - men and women = were
dining.
A waiter came up and took our
order.
Chicken chop suey," said Lucille.
II haven't had any for years-and I'm
hungry"
McKabe smiled.
"You talk like a native daughter,
Miss Foote," he remarked.
Lucille returned his smile and re-
piled quite frankly: ~
II am" -
The detective nodded.
"You look it." he told her, and turn
ed to the waiter. Double that for
mine, Charlie"
Dual and I and Sheldon ordered
tea, and Reich, after a moment of in
decision, ordered noodles.
The waiter smiled and shuffled
away.
McKabe nodded at his retreating
back.
They're an odd bunch" he observ-
ed. Now you wouldn't think it, but
Charlie there Is a graduate of the
University of California, and yet he's
a waiter in chow shop. He speaks

STRIKERS OBJECT TO
 COLORED LABORERS
Twelve Workers of New Britain Ma chine Co. Quit Work When Col
 Orcd Soldier Is Hired.

Twelve employees of the milling de- partment of the New Britain Machine company went on strike yesterday when Charles Brown, a cOlored sol dler who recently returned from rance, was hired to work on ma chlne with them. Brown was twice cited for bravery while overseas and received the French Croix de Guerre.
 One of the strikers representing the group, called at the Herald Office this morning and stated the reason why the men quit their work. He claimed that the officials at the fac tory are planning to replace the la borers with colored workers. The colored men will work for 30 cents, while the white milling hands receive from 42 1-2 cents to 60 cents per hour.
 The 12 strikers had a conference with the New Britain Machine com- pany officials this morning and no agreement was said to have been reached. The posiiicrs are open to the men, the strikers say, if they de- sire to return to work. Another con- ference on the situation will be held on Monday morning. Contrary to a report printed in a morning paper, the strikers claim Lhat yhoy were not paid off yesterday. They also de- clare that they were not pro-Ger- mans, and that at least two of the strikers are citizens of this country.

 "Viewirg the covenant as a whole," said the Texas senator, ''it may we'll be charScterized as the most effective instrument for maintenance of peace and the prevention of war the heart and brain of man have yet produced. It has not attempted the impossible it is based on a clear recognition of the fact that we have not reached that stage, where war may be entirely sup pressed. It makes war remote and improbable, however, by organizing the public opinion and moral force of civilization in one great international unit, pledged to@thG peaceful settle ment of international controversies.

 But we are told that the United States should not enter into an ar rangement or t1l1S klnQ because our geographical situation and our inher- ent strength make us Independent of foreign broils, and they say this with fifty. thousand American graves in foreign soil bearing tragic testimony to the effect of a European situation on this republic.
 Nations Must Stand Together.
 They tell us that if we subscribe to this covenant we do so as a matter of favor to other nations; that they need us, but we do not need them. I tell you that there was never a time when it was more necessary for the civilized nations to stand together for the peace and liberty of the world than now. 1t is either this or the piling of arma- nents on armaments until th& peoples backs are broken from the stfaip

George Washington was but human
and took pleasure IN seeing his name
in the paper Just as other young nen
who are seeking q career. When Gov.
aDinwiddie. OF Virginia, decided 70
send messenger to the French Com
mandant requesting the withdraw Of
French forces from territory claimed
by the Brithish he selected Major
George Washington, who had Just At
tanned his majority. The Journey has
become notable IN history owing to
the prominence Of Washington In To-
ter Affairs. Otherwise the Journey
might have been forgotten. Washing
ton was looked upon as q young man
Of good judgement, great physical
strength and endurance and had been
accustomed to outdoor life through his
work Is q; surveyor which fitted him
for the Journey. Washington had two
half brothers who were stockholders
In the Ohio Company and as Governor
EDinwtddie was also . stakeholder in
that Company, which had Q grant Of
lands which were In danger Of falling
Into the hands Of the French. Il 10
poasible the Washington got the place
through "puli. Governor Dinwiddie's
letter To st. Pierre. the commandant,
the reply and Washington's account,
OF the Journey made some interesting
reading IN those days.
