Having overheard Carter repeat
Walkers instructions, Bob jumps on
a train, running at full speed and ar
rives at the station nearest the new
headquarters of the Huns.
Meanwhile, Alice has engaged Helen
Moore as her housemaid, unsuspecting
the design of Helen and Barclay, the
detective.
Before Carter leaves Zaremba's coun-
try house with the boxes, he sends
Zaremba's valet = another Hun to
watch Alice's home with instructions
if Alice returns there to "get her" in
amy way he can devise.
The valet makes his way through a
window into Alice's dining room.
Alice, about to drink her after dinner
coffee, is summoned to the telephone.
Bob rings her up from the station
nearest the rendezvous of the Huns to
tell her that he is on their track and
that she should join him by early NOR
ming train.
During the absence of Alice from the
room the valet pours poison into the
coffee cup. Concealed behind the win
dow draperies, the scoundrel watches
Alice lift the cup of poisoned coffee to

I RENOUNCE
FOREVER
Text Of Former German Emperor's
Act Of Remuneration

The text of the former German en-
peror's act of remuneration which "a
issued by the new German government
"in order to reply to certain misunder-
standings which have arisen with re-
gard to the abdication," follows:
"By the present document, l re-
nounce forever my rights to the crown
of Prussia and the rights to the Ger
man imperial crown. | release at the
same time all the officials of the Ger
man empire and Prussia and also Off
GERS, noncommissioned officers and sol
diers of the Prussian navy and army
and of contingents from federation
states from the oath of fidelity they
have taken to me. AS their emperor,
king and supreme chief, I expect from
them until a new organization of the
German empire exists that they will
aid those who effectively hold the
power in Germany to protect the Ger
man people against the menacing dam
gers of anarchy, famine and foreign
domination.

our own hand with the imperial seal
at Amerongen, November %.
