through the doorway he knew where
were these men of Torres.
For he heard Torres voice shouting
loudly just above his head where he
had already judged the drawing room
must be; he knew that through some
other passageway the men they had
thought to trap had made their way
there, and he remembered that his own
orders had been for one man only to
watch over the bound Tore and
Juarez.
''Nunez! Castro!' Tore was call
ing, his tones ringing out clear, the
tones of command, calling for haste,
for swift obedience. "There is one
man here only. Kill him! All"
There was the crack of a revolver,
a cry, the sound of body falling.
"Now!" and again Torres voice
rang triumphant. "Cut these damned
ropes, Castro! You others free Juarez

the box, which he shook slowly back

CZECHOSLOVAKIA NEEDS
 PRODUCTS OF AMERICA

PRAGUE, Aug. 10 Correspondence of Associated Press).-By tightening the national belt a hole and careful conservation and organization of food supplies, Czecho-Slovakia can weather the winter safely, in the opinion of the American food experts who have been surveying the country. In fact, Czecho-SlOvakia, particularly BOhe mia, is said to be a good deal better off than most of Eastern Europe. Her crops will run from 60 to 70 per cent of normal and of certain valuable commodities she admittedly has some for export in return for more needed supplies such as raw materials, nota- bly, cotton.
 She has appreciable quantities of oats, barley and hops that can be spared, as we'll as some sugar and coal, and these last two commodities are felt to be about the most precious in Europe. In return she wants wheat flour and cotton. Her spinning industry is at standstill and experts claim that she needs approximately a hundred thousand bales of cotton to supply her own needs in textiles.
 The over-supply of beet sugar is Czecho- -Slovakia's big and valuable asset and gives her a strategic posi- tion in Europe. The general situation here is reassuring to the American experts, and while there will be de- privation, they believe that with a well-organized control of foods and close economy there will be no real suffering this winter.

 The Lettish government has issued three stamps marking the delivery of Riga from the Bolshevists. They are two figures, presumably representing Riga and Lettonia, embracing Detore the walls of a city.
 The seventh centenary of the union of Esthonia with Denmark accounts for the issuance of $500 specimen stamps. of restricted validity, in the republic of Esthonia. They were on sale for three days only. Because of the adoption of new currency unit in the republic, new stamps are being for distribution and sale.
