where she began bandaging it.
The girl, her ammunition exhausted
turned into the niche where her com
panions were in order to secure an
other weapon. AS she did so, one OF
the men whom the Spider had com
missioned for the attack from above
dropped upon the shelf before them.
Before he could regain his poise
Bridget, with a wild Celtic war cry
was upon him. Locking her mighty
arms about his waist she hurled him
bodily over the edge, watching him as
be went crashing down. When he was
no longer to be seen, she faced about
and saw her sawed-off gun where she
had dropped it when the assayer had
been hit. Slowly she picked it up.
"Bedad! I clane forgot it," she
muttered.
But her moment Of triumph was
short lived. Even as she spoke a sec,
ond form dropped heavily upon her
head and she fell stunned upon the
ledge, and before the girl could reload
her weapon the outlaw had disarmed
her. Covering the wounded man, their
captOr uttered triumphant yell, and
at that signal the Spider and his fol-
lowers came swarming over the ledge
Quickly the three prisoners were
bound, after which they were marched
back along the ridge at the muzzles
Of their captors' weapons.
Brought before Morgan, the cap
tives were ordered to halt. The Hawk
turned to the girl.

If not" bis further remarks were
cut short by a volley from above
From the sawmill where they had
been inspecting the machinery, the
two engineers had heard the shots and
rushed out. A glance at the group
below enlightened them as to the real
situation, and without hesitation they
opened fire upon the outlaw gang
Back out of range darted the Hawk,
dragging Ethel after him. His voice
arose in a sharp command.
ITO the mine, everybody. We have
got the woman, and they will have to
come to our terms" AS they started
away Blackie approached him and
whispered in his ear, and with a ges'
ture of assent Morgan summoned the
Spider before them.

involve the woman. I can Tso her"
As the party started toward the
mine, Blackie, who had Jagged behind,
turned his back upon them and broke
into wild run toward the cabin, wav-
ing his handkerchief on high as he
leaped from rock to rock and with
Morgan and the Spider sending their
bullets about him as closely as they
dared without danger of doing him
harm. The party within the cabin
seeing this play and believing that the
approaching man was endeavoring to
escape, threw open the door and adj
lGitted him into their midst. Breath
lessly the new arrival sank upon q
chair.

speak also of the pride I shared
with every American who saw OF
dealt with them there.
They were the sort Of men Amer.
lea would wish to be represented
by, the sort Of men every American
would wish to claim as fellow coun.
trymen and comrades in great
cause. They were terrible in battle
and gentle and helpful out Of it,
remembering the mothers and the
sisters. the wives and the little chill
dren at home. They were free men
under arms, not forgetting their
ideals Of duty in the midst of tasks
of violence. I am proud to have had
the privilege of being associated
with them and of calling myself
their leader.
Made World Love U. S. -.
"But I speak now of what they
meant to the men by whose sides
they fought and to the people with
whom they mingled with such utter
simplicity, as friends who asked only
to be of service. They were for, all
the visible embodiment of America.
What they did made America and
all that she stood for living real
ity in the thoughts not only of the
people of France, but also of tens
of millions of men and women
throughout all the toiling nations of
world standing everywhere in peril
of its freedom and of the loss of
everything it held dear, in deadly
fear that its bonds were never to be
loosed, its hopes forever to be
Knocked and disappointed.
"And the compulsion of what
they stood for was upon us who
represented America at the peace
table. 1t was our duty to see to
i! that every decision we toop part
i'll contributed, so far as we were
able to influence it, to quiet the
fears and realize the hopes of the
peoples who had been living in that
shadow, the nations that had come
by our assistance to their freedom.
1t was our duty to do everything
that it was within our power to do
to make the triumph of freedom
and of right lasting triumph in the
assurance of which men might
everywhere live without fear.
"Old entanglements of every kind
stood in the way-promises which
governments had made to one an
other in the days when might and
right were confused and the~power
of the victor was without restraint.
Engagements which contemplated
any dispositions of territory, any ex-
tensions of sovereignty that might
seem to be to the interest of those
who had the power to insist upon
them, had been entered into without
thought of what the peoples con-
cerned might wish or profit by; and
these could not always be honorably
brushed aside.
Fruits May Be Bitter.
1t was not easy to graft the new
order of ideas on the old and some
of the fruits of the grating may,
I fear, for a time be bitter. But,
with very few exceptions, the men
who sat with US at the peace table
desired as sincerely as we did to
get away from the bad influences,

an one sense, no doubt, there is
no need that I should report to you
what was attempted and done at
Paris. You have been daily cog
infant of what was going on there
of the problems with which the
peace conference had to deal and of
the difficulty of laying down straight
lines of settlement anywhere on a
field on which the old lines of inter-
national relationship and the new
alike followed so intricate pattern
and were for the most part cut SO
deep by historical circumstances
which dominated action where it
would have been best to ignore or
reverse them. The cross currents
of politics and of interest must have
been evident to you. 1t would be
presuming in me to attempt to ex-
plain the questions which arose or
the many diverse elements that en-
tered into them.

ambitious than that and more Clear
ly suggested by duty to report to
the congress the part it seemed nee
cssary for my colleagues and me to
play as the representative of the
government of the United States.
That part was dictated by the
role America had played in the war
and by the expectations that had
been created in the minds of the
peoples with whom we had asso-
c;ated ourselvesin that great strug-
gle. -
Entered War to End Tyranny.
"The United States catered the
war upon a different footing from
every other nation except our asso-
ciates on this side of the sea. We
entered it. not because our material
interests were directly threatened or
because any special treaty obliga-
tons to WHICH we were parties had
been violated, but only because we
saw the supremacy and even the
validity Outright everywhere put in
jeopardy and free government like
ly to be everywhere imperilled by
the intolerable aggression of a
power which respected neither right
nor obligation and whose very sys-
tenn of government fouted the
rights of the citizen as against the
autocratic authority of his gov
errors.
sAnd in the settlements of the,
peace we have sought no special
reputation for ourselves, but only
the restoration of right and the as
strance of liberty everywhere that
the effects of the settlement were to
be felt. We entered the war as the

disinterested champions of RICH,
and we interested ourselves in the
terms of the peace in no other ca.
pacity.
Bouyed Allies Hope.
"The hopes of the nations allied
against the central powers were at q
very low ebb when our soldiers be-
gan to pour across the sea. There
was everywhere amongst them, ex-
cept in their stoutest spirits, a SOM
bre foreboding of disaster. The war
ended in November, eight months
ago, but you have only to recall what
was feared in midsummer last, four
short months before the armistice to
realize what it was that our timely
aid accomplished alike for their mo-
rale and their physical safety.
That first, never-to-be-forgotten
action at Chateau Thierry had al
ready taken place. Our redoubtable
soldiers and marines had already
closed the gap the enemy had sue
ceeded in opening for their advance
upon Paris-had already turned the
tide of battle back towards the from
tiers of France and begun the rout
that was to- save Europe and the
world.
Thereafter the Germans were to
be always forced back, back, were
never to thrust successfully for
ward again. And yet there was NO
confident hope. Anxious men and
women, leading spirits of France,
attended the celebration of the
Fourth of July last year in Paris
out of generous courtesy-with no
heart for festivity, little zest for
hope. But they came away with
something new at their hearts. They
have themselves told US so. The
mere sight of our men-of their
vigor, of the confidence that showed
itself in every movement of their
stalwart figures and every turn of
their swinging march, in their
steady compromising eyes and
easy discipline, in the indomitable
air that added spirit to everything
they did-made everyone who saw
them that memorable day realize
that something had happened that
was much more than a mere Incl
dent in the fighting, something very
different from the mere arrival of
fresh troops.
A great moral force had flung it.
self into the struggle. The fine
physical force of those spirited men
spoke of something more than
bodily vigor. They carried the great
ideals of free people at their
hearts and with that vision were
unconquerable. Their very pres
ence brought reinsurance, their
fighting made victory possible.
Recognized as Crusaders.
"They were recognized as cru
saders and as their goods swelled
to millions their strength was seen
to mean salvation. And they were
fit men to carry such a hope and
make good the assurance it fore
cast. Finer men never went into
battle; and their officers were
worthy of them. This is not the
occasion upon which to utter "A
eulogy of the armies America sent
to France, but perhaps, since am
speaking of their mission, may

darkness were to- be led out into
the same light and given at last
a helping hand. Undeveloped peo-
pies and peoples ready for recogni-
tion,. but not yet ready to assume
the full responsibilities of statehood
were to be given adequate guaran-
tees OF friendly protection, guidance
and assistance.
"And out of the execution of thes
great enterprises of liberty sprang
opportunities to attempt what
statesmen had never found the way
before to do; an opportunity to
throw safeguards about the rights
of racial, national and religious
minorities by solemn international
covenant; an opportunity to limit
and regulate military establishments
where they were most likely to be
mischievous; an opportunity to eff
feet a complete and systematic in
Standardization of waterways and
railways which were necessary to
the free economic life of more than
one nation and to clear any of the
normal channels OF commerce of
unfair distractions of law or of
privilege; and the very welcome OPP
portunity to secure for labor the
concerted protection of definite in
ternational pledges of principle and
practice!
Numerous Tasks Overcome.
sThese were not tasks which the
conference looked about it to find
and went out of its way to perform.
They were inseparable from the set
Elements of peace. They were
thrust upon it by circumstances
which could not be overlooked. The
war had created them. In all quar-
tcrs of the world old established re-
lationships had been disturbed or
broken and affairs were at loose
ends, needing to be mended or
united again, but could not be made
what they were before.
They had to be set right by apply
ing some uniform principle of just
ice or enlightened expediency. And
they could not be adjusted by
prescribing in treaty what
should be done. New states were to
be set up which could not hope to
live through their first period of
weakness without assured support
by the, great nations that had con-
scented to their creation and won for
them their independence.
Had to Protect Weak.
Ill-governed colonies could not
be put in the hands of governments
which were to act as trustees for
their people and not as their mas
tiers if there was to be no common
authority among the nations to
which they were to be responsible
in the execution of their trusts. Flu
ture international conventions with
regard to the control of waterways,
with regard to illicit traffic of many
kinds, in arms or in deadly drugs,
or with regard to the adjustment of
many varying international admin
lstratlve arrangements, could not
be assured if the treaty were to
provide no permanent common in
ternational agency, if its execution
in such matters were to be left to
the slow and uncertain processes of
cooperation by ordinary methods
of negotiation.
If the peace conference itself
was to be the end of cooperative
authority and common counsel
among the governments to which
the world was looking to enforce
justice and give pledges of an en-
during settlement, regions like the
Saar basin could not be put under

ORCHARDS PROFIT
BY FALL FLOWING

East Lansing, Nov. 12--By blowing
their orchards in the fall whenever
conditions permit, Michigan fruit
growers can avoid much of the spring
rush Of work, according to Prof. G.
P. Halligan, head of the horticultural
department at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College AS a general rule the
spring blowing is held as preferable,
but in many cases the work may be
done in the fall with perfectly salts
factory results.
Orchards that are in sod may be
plowed or disced in the fall, provided
conditions are not favorable to "wash-
ing" says Professor Halligan. "On
the other hand orchards that have
been seeded to cover crops Especially
kinds that live over winter, such as
vetch, clover, or rys) should be left
until spring to serve as a winter
cover to prevent deep freezing, and to
produce more growth in early spring
before blowing time.
at is common fault with many
growers to pillow too late in the
spring, turning sod or cover crop
under after the soil is dried out pref
ty well, and therefore failing to con-
serve soil moisture.
when orchards are plowed in the
fall, the soil should be left in the
rough over winter, and not narrowed
and rolled until spring."

"OUTSIDE THE PALE OF THE
LAW"

The coal strike is, to quote the
words of the Attorney General, "out-
side the pale of the law" The Unit
ed Mine Workers of America are a
part of the American Federation of
Labor. The strike order could have
been rescinded had Mr.. Gompers and
the other officials of the Federation
SO directed. They took no action,
thereby placing themselves outside
the pale of the law.
The Turks say they will be disap-
pointed if the United States refuses
to take a mandate over their coun-
try. If we do take it there will be
some disappointed people-but they
won't be Turks.
In general sort of way, Mr.. Com
pers has denounced Bolshevism, but
we do not observe any instance in
which he has specifically denounced
certain men of bolshevistic activities
exercising power in the labor unions.

FARMERS SCRATCH HEADS -.
OVER INCOME TAX REPORTS

East Lansing, Nov. 12-Many Mich
igan farmers are already bordering
over the details of the income tax
reports which they must fill out dur
ing the next few months, and many
of them are finding that the job is
going to be a difficult one. The man
who does his bookkeeping in his head
is finding that the tax report sheets
call for much more fact than he has
at his command.
"These reports are simple" says c.
H. Graves, farm management special
list at the Michigan Agricultural Cor
lege, eff the farmer has kept an ac-
count during the year and taken an
annual inventory. If he has no rec
ord of his years business, however
making the reports is difficult pro-
ces.
Rulings. of the Commissioners OF
Internal Revenues permit farmers tt
report on the inventory basis, pro.
vided they keep some system o,
farm accounts that is accredited by
the department. This is by far the
easier and better method, because
each years business is reported &C
cording to actual income and not &C.
cording to the cash receipts"

SUGAR IN SIGHT

Washington, Nov. 11-(Special coz
Observation-Disclosures McNary, of
Oregon, chairman of the subcommit-
tee investigating the sugar shortage,
has received communication from
the Cuban Sugar Manufacturers anc
Planters Association that 100000 tons
of sugar, enough to meet American
demands until the next crop comes in,
is held in Cuban warehouses. A bill
is now pending in Congress designed
to continue the Sugar Equalization
Board for another year, and authoriz-
ing the Board to purchase the Cuban
crop. The measure has Senator Nc
Nary's endorsement, and if it shall
become law the people will hear
no more of sugar shortage.
