SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER TX. c. Rickard, an engi-
neer Of the Overland Pacific, is called to
the office Of President Marshall In Tue
son, Ariz. Casey" Is an enigma to the
office force; he wears dude" clothes,
but he had resigned a chair Of engineer
ing in the East to go on the road as a
fireman and his promotion had been spec
tacular. While waiting for Marshall Rick
ard reads q report on the ravages OF the
Colorado, despite the efforts Of Thomas
Hardin Of the Desert Reclamation com
pany. This Hardin had been student
under Rickard and had married Gerty
Holmes, with whom Rickard had fancied
he was IN love.
CHAPTER II-Marshall tells Rlckard
the Overland Pacific has got to step In
to save the Imperial Valley and sends
him to the break. Rickard declines be-
cause he does not want to supplant Har-
din, but Is won over. "Stop the riveH
damn the expense" says Marshall.
CHAPTER III-Rickard journeys to
Calexico, sees the irrigated desert ana
learns much about Hardin and his Work.
CHAPTER Wat the hotel he meets
Mr.. and Mrs. Hardin and 1nnes Hardin,
Hardin's half sitter. Disappointed in her
husband and an incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her former
lover and invites him to dinner.

that he could woozle into the empty
place! He went back to Los Angeles,
convinced them that the auditor
should be here, protect the company's
interests. 1t sounded mysterious,
sleuthlike, as if he had discovered
something, so they let him bring the
books down here. He is supposed to
be ferreting. But he's 'woozling.' He
used to be in the outer Office. Said

"Wait till you see Ogilvie" laughed

LEAGUE TO BE SAVED
BY UNITED STATES
Union Will Fall if This Government
Fails and Chaos and Disorder Will
Prevail Throughout the World
Republicans Said to Be Uncon-
vinced After Conference.

Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Wilson told members Of the con-
gressional foreign relations commit
tees tonight that unless the United
States entered the league Of nations
the league would fall and chaos and
turmoil beyond description would re.
suit in Europe. Views Of Republi-
can members opposing the league
constitution as reported to the peace
conference apparently were not
changed by the conference.
The president was said to have
stated that it was necessary that the
United States stand to the support
of the Czecho-Slovaks, the Jugo-
Slavs, Poland and other weak and
struggling peoples made free as the
result of the great war.
Discussion of the constitution as
presented to the peace conference,
was said to have been quite general
and tn president was questioned
closely, especially by Senator Brand
egee of Connecticut, Republican
Leader Lodge and Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania, former secretary of
state, took very little part.
The president, after making an
open explanatory statement, answer
ed all questions freely and specif-
cally, emphasized that his guests
were free to discuss the conference
and all its information with newspa-
per men or others.
One question on which much time
was spent was whether a nation once
in the league could withdraw, rails
ed by Senator Brandegee. The presi-
dent was said to have held that any
country could withdraw but Senator
Brandegee contended this would be
impossible under the constitution as
now drafted.
Mandatory Not Compulsory.
President Wilson denied that the
league plan would interfere with the
Monroe doctrine, declaring that the
doctrine would be guaranteed by all
the member powers in the world So
ciety.
The president was said to have held
that the mandatories in the constitu-
tion were not compulsory, but re-
quired the consent of the nation to
which the mandatory was assigned.
Senators said he expressed the
opinion that the United States would
desire TO become a mandatory for
Armenia.

Sees War Danger
Mr.. Pepper said that he Is prepared
to accept the provisions Of the cove

peace of the world. There are. in his
opinion. four particulars in which the
covenant seems to make for war and
without their correction, he said, he
would oppose the league.
The four particulars, as he explain
ed them. are:
I'D The covenant. as he sees it,
provides for reference of questions
which the courts are accustomed to
decide to an executive body not fitted
TO decide them, this country to be
bound in the decision by vote of

"(2) The provision of the covenant
which by the same vote Of the execut-
i've body may bind us respecting po-
litical questions which each nation
ought to decide for itself after such
cooling down period as the covenant
may prescribe.
"(3) The entire failure to recognize
the great class of questions, of which
the Monroe Doctrine is merely one
illustration, which no sovereign state
can afford to submit to any inter
national body either for advice or de-
cision. These questions include ma
tional self-preservation, traditional
national policies and matters deemed
by the nation to be Of national con-

For awhile 1t seemed that the re.

be Indefinitely postponed. This was
due to a proposal made by one of the

The managers saw the picture yer

liked John Barrymore's performance
of the title role so well that he i'm.

proposition was under serious consid.
