Paris, August 6.--Nichoias Misu,
 of the Rumanian peace delegation,
 was summoned before the supreme
 council today which gave him . communication for his government,
 saying that the Rumanian ultima
 tum to Hungary cannot be recos-
 nixed by the peace conference and
 calling upon the Rumanians to live
 up to the armistice terms.
 Misu said that the Rumanians were talk ing back supplies which the German field marshal, Won Mackensen, took from them, but his explanation did not alter the de- cision of the supreme council which was unanimous.

IA POINTS NOT DISCUSSED

The secretary said it was true that the fourteen points had not been dis cussed, to his knowledge, in the pre- raratory stages of the peace negotia- tions; that the American draft of the league of nations never was .pressed'' before the conference; that the Presi- dent had asked the peace conference not fo lay before tho French senate the re- cord of discussion on the league; and that the United States did not know of secret treaties between the allies and Japan regarding Shantung when this couAtry by the I4ansng-Ishii agree ment recognized Japan's special in- terest'' in China
 It was not true, Secretary Lansing g said, that he and other members of the American delegation, protested against the Shantung settlement; that Great Britain refused to permit discussion of the freedom of the seas by the peace conferences; or that any of the Ameri- can expert advisers had resigned be- cause they disagreed with the decision regarding Shantung."
 The general basis on which the treaty was framed, said the secretary, was common sense and general principles with an avoidance of policy and ex- pediency" Verbatim records of the discussions, he told the committee, had been left in Paris, adding that he would not favor giving to the senate the less complete transcripts in the possession of the state department because it might cause 'irritation." to the other governrn ents.

Quiz Lansing o1,Peace Treaty
~Ask the President" Sug- gests Secretary of State When Pressed for Details of Shantung and League Negotiations
By Associated Press

Washington, August G. Secretary Lansing, before the Senate foreign relations com mittee today, expressed the opinion that the Shantung pro- vision of the peace. treaty did not square with President Will sons enunciated principle of self-determination, but main tained that the treaty as a whole, carried out "substan- tially" the Presidents IA points.
 Declaring his unfamiliarity with many details of the peace negotiations and of the treaty itself, the secretary told the committee he was unable to answer may of its questions and re- minded senators in answering others that he merely was expressing his own personal views.
 Ask the President" the secretary said when pressed for details of the GtdhtuiS dlO lcd6 u6 Ol udllOnS neSO- tiations. On three of the points raised he asked permission to refresh his memory and make a statement to the committee later, and when he was ask ed for detailed construction of the labor and separations clauses he protested that he could not be expected to carry the minutes of an S0000 word document in his mind, and reminded the com mittee it was much easier to "ask ques- tions prepared beforehand than to answer them offhand
 As his own personal views. Mir.
 Lansing said that Japan would prob
 ably have signed the treaty with
 out the Shantung provision. that the
 United States should ask no part of
 the German reparation; that the
 kaiser could not be legally tried;
 and that the mutual guarantee of
 territorial integrity from external
 aggression, contained in article
 10 Of the league covenant, impos- ed n moral obligation. but not
 legal one.

A Corner of His Heart.


The second evening after the closure
Richard was dining with the Mar
shalls in their car. The Palmyra was
to pull out the next day. Hardin's
name was brought up by Tod Mar
shall. "She was light potatoes" he
dismissed the woman. "But she's
broken the mans spirit"
Richard, it was discovered, had
nothing to say on the subject of the
elopement.
I'm sorry his sister is not here to-
night" began Marshall mischievously.

tened to interrupt her lord. "But she
would not leave her brother her last

are carrying her OFF. She is to visit
Mrs. Marshall while am on the
road"
Richard gulped down his coffee,
boiling. "Mrs. Marshall, will you let
me run away early?" Why should he
give any excuse? They knew what he
was running away for
He made his way to the little white
tent on the far side of the trapezium.
Innes, by the door, was bidding good

to say to her? He had taken the white
girls hand. He was staring into the
white girls eyes. Something came to
her, a memory like forgotten music
Silently, she slipped away into the
night.
Richard would not release Innes

"Come out and have a walk with
me! You were not going to tell me
you were going. You We're running
away from me?"
"You know that l love you! I have
been waiting for this minute, this
woman, all these lonely years.

her mouth. Those years, filed to the

he'll ever have" He turned a minute
later to see his chief standing bare
headed. His own cap came off.
We're burying the lad" said Mar
shall.
The minute of funeral had to be
pushed aside. The river would not
wait. Train after train was rushed on
to the trestles; wave after wave hit
them. But perceptibly the dam was
steadying. The rapid fire Of rock was
telling.
Another ridge of yellow waters rose
The roll of water came slowly, dwin-
ding as it came; it broke against the
trestle weakly. For the first time the
trestle never shuddered. Workers and
watchers breathed as unit the first
deep breath that night. There was a
change. Every eye was on the river
where it touched the rim of the dam.
Suddenly a chorused cry rose. The
river had stopped rising. The whistles
screamed themselves hoarse.
And then a girl, sitting on the bank,
saw two men grab each other by the
hand. She was too far away to hear
their voices, but the sun, rising red
through the banks of smoke, fell on
the blackened faces of her brother and
Richard. She did not care who saw
her crying.

Something was wrong. She left her
place in time to see Silent, his face

pull himself up from the .battleship"
where he had been leaning. Estrada

train did not pull out, saw him the
same instant as did Molly. Silent

like man who is drunk.
"God, man, you can't go like that ="
cried Estrada.
who's going?" demanded Silent, his
tongue thick with thirst and exhaus-
ton. The whistle blew again.

the trestle, as the whistle blew angrily
