the Harvard Club OF Washington, to
celebrate the closing OF the local

charge OF the drive, but a reply has
not yet been received.
The total in the local drive has
reached $4,000, according to an
nOuncement this morning By Mr.
Tuckerman. The amount raised yes
teTdsy was $4,000. Although the cam

third OF the subscriptions that are
expected have so far been reported
This is because the FIRST part of the
drive was devoted largely to organ

the subscriptions are being obtained.

order, and it is expected the daily
totals from now until the close Of
the campaign will far overshadovy

Can Preserve World From
Conquest by Germany,
Says PadereWsli.

PARIS, Oct. T.-Ignace Paderwski,
premier Of Poland, who Is in Paris
fighting to obtain from the allies vital
supplies for the Polish nation, said
revolution is threatened in Poland un-
less the allies take immediate steps
to alleviate conditions there. The
premier said that IL the revolution
materiaIizes, Germany will not only
gain control Of Poland, but OF Russia
as well. He said:
Long ago I told Americans that
though the war be won by the al
lies on the western front, Germany
would be the victor unless decisively
defeated on the eastern battlhelds
The events Of today are justifying
that prediction. Poland is the sole
barrier between Russia's wealth and
German ambition
Germany cannot conquer Poland
from without, but depends on revo-
luton within to get the country at
her mercy. She has sent hundreds
Of subsidized agitatOrs into the
country to effect this coup. Further

sian Soviet Assembly voted q hundred
million rubles for the same purpose.
Nevertheless. Germany would be
doomed to failure II il were not that
the coming winter fnds the Polish
army without overcoats. Unless these
are forthcoming, the soldiers, crazed
by exposure, will inevitably lay dowl
their arms before Christmas and give
the country over to anarchy, which
will be the signal for Germany &C

CHAPTER Xxx.
Opening OF tbe Treasure Chest.

SPCUtiiS w ~ sfSeSAtC SUSoks
The dawn came slowly, and with but
little increase Of light. The breeze had
almost entirely died away, leaving the
canvas aloft motionless, the schooner
barely moving through slightly heav-
ing sea. in the midst of dull-gray
mist. When Watkins emerged from
the mist proposed to him that we go
below and continue the search for
gold. He was not anxious to go and
Dorothy persuaded me to let her go
with me. In the room where the ape
had been hidden we found a big Chest
and l set to work to open it.
1t proved harder than l had be-
lieyed. the staple of the lock clinging
to the hard teak wood of which the
chest was made. The lid was heavy,
but as l finally forced it backward a
hinge snapped and permitted 1t to
drop crashing to the deck. For an in
slant l could see nothing within.
Lift up the lantern. Dorothy,

Already coats for winter. both in
cloth and fur, have passed and are
daily passing in review before mer-
chants and buyers and reporters who
publish the styles. Certainly no win
ter was ever heralded by more COM
Portable or more becoming garments.
They are fuller than last years mod
so successful then are used to make
them. Duvetyn, velours and similar
cloths appear in lighter weights than
last year so that top coats and suits
may. be full and draped without be-
ing clumsy. This ampleness of cloth
makes the top coat easy to slip on and
off and adds to its warmth, and there
is room under it for panniers and other
arrangements of drapery for wide hip
effects. These are fairly well estab-
lished in the styles and must be reck-
oned WITH. Heavy homespuns are
used in some of the handsome and
practical new models.
Collars are either of fur or of the
cloth in the coat. They are very coy
looking in either case. The fur col
lars are wide and fit snugly, coming
up about the face and chin and very
high at the back. The cloth collars
are managed so as to give the same
effect of coziness with the face snug
gled down into them; very often they
button across at the front and become
a small cape when unbuttoned.
The coat shown in the picture is
good example of the new styles in
substantial and practical top coats 1t
is of heavy cloth and therefore not as
full as dressIer models. Its narrow
belt of the cloth fastens at one side,
and its very odd and smart cuffs are
finished with single large button.
