over hIs heart, detecting no murmuP of response; touched the veins of his wrist, but found there no answering throb of life.
 With the death-dealing knife still gripped in my hand I raced forward along the narrow strip of sand, reck- less of what I might encounter. I ran on until I reached the sIoop. Through the gloom conceaIing the deck could perceive only dim figures, a riot of men, battling furiousIy hand to hand, yet out of the ruck Ioomed through the darkness in larger outlines than the others-Cochose, the negro. 1 Ieaped at the fellow and struck with the keen knife, missing the heart but pIurgiDg the blade deep into the flesh of the shoulder. The next instant I was in a bears grip, the very breath crushed out of me, yet, by some chance, my one arm remained free, and I drove the sharp steel into him twice before he forced the weapon from my fingers. I thrust an elbow beneath the brute's chin, and thus forced his head back until the neck crac1ed.
 He was too strong, too immense of stature. Apparently unweakened by his wounds, the giant negro, thor oughIy aroused, exerted his mighty muscles, and, despite my utmost effort at resistance, thrust me back against the stern rail, where the weight Of his body pinned me helpIessly. With a roar of rage he drove his huge fist into my face, but happily was too close to give much force to the blow. My own hands, gripping the neckband of his coarse shirt, twisted t tight about the great throat until, in desperation, panting for breath, the huge brute actually lifted me in his arms and hurled me backward headlong over the rail. I struck something as fell, yet rebounding from this spIashed into the deep water and went down so nearly unconscious as to make not even the slightest struggle. And yet came up once more to the surface, arising by sheer chance directly be heath the small dory-which my body must have struck as I fell-towing by a painter astern of the sloop, and for tunateIy retained sense enough to cling desperately to this first thing my hands touched, and thus remained con- cealed.
 The dory caught in some current, hoated at the very extremity of it's slender towline, and in consequence the sloop appeared little more than a mere smudge, when my eyes endeav- ored to discover its outlines. Evi- dently the bloody work had been com pleted, for now all was silent on board Then came the voice of Estada in gruf inquiry:
 ''so you are hiding here, CochoseS What are you looking for in the seass'
 What? Why that d-d English man. Mon Dieu! He fought me ike mad rat"

My startled eyes caught g glimpse of a speck of white emerging from the black shadows-the spectral glinmer of a small sail. The strange craft swept past, so far out that those on board no doubt believed themselves beyond sight from the shore, heading apparently for a point of land, which I vaguely remembered as jutting out to the northward.

Warning GIVEN
ON UNEMPLOYMENT
OF EXTRA men

Washington, May s. Colonel
Arthur Woods today warned en-
ployers to hire as many extra mon
now as possible to protect them
selves against coming tremen-
dous labor shortage.
American labor, he declared will
be short 100000 men and wom-
en- this year, due largely to tho
fact that immigration has been
vastly reduced.
immigration UP to 1914 and for the
seven years preceding, said Woods,
amounted to approximately one mil
lion a year. In 1915 it was 100000, in
1917 100000, in 1918 100000 and In
1919 it will probably be less.
The army. he said will probably
keep out of industry an additional mil
lion men for at least another year.
The ship building program, said
Woods, has provided an entirely new
mately 100000 workers from other
fields, SO far.
BIG CROP COMING
TN addition to that" he said,
America is confronted with the prob
lem OF handling the largest food crop
ever produced. Within 10 days. Texas
will begin to harvest it's wheat. This
harvest will spread northward until
November To handle the Kansas crop
alone will require an army of 100000
men. To meet this situation at Kan
sas City, they are already planning
to close up industry during the wheat
harvest in order to garner the crop"
Along with this increased de-
mand for farm labor, said Woods,
reports on public works programs
of the various states show that
the country is two billion dollars
behind in this form of public i'm
provement Contracts are being
let daily. he stated, and the labor
demand made by them is constant
ly increasing.

London, May 8. - The Independent
labor party today made public the
following resolutions regarding the
German peace treaty:
I'VE strongly denounce the docu-
ment as misnamed peace treaty. The
terms violate the conditions of the ar
mistice and are opposed to every pub
lie statement of allied aims expos
ing the real aim of smashing Ger
many politically and economically,
and involving the impoverishment and
economic ruin of Europe. The treaty
does not end militarism."

As result of the railroad ad-

of the steel market by the rail-

on enough gasoline to carry them to
Trepassey Bay, Immediately on their
arrival here. They were supplied from
the crusier Baltimore, which was wait
ing for them in the harbor. Comman-
der Towers, chief of the expedition,
led his men aboard the Baltimore,
where they had dinner and went to
their beds. All were very tired No
navigators of the two boats.
The arrival of the craft was the sig

the harbor shrieked and the crowd
cheered as the n. C.-S, leading, flashed
into view and took the water with a
cloud Of spray. She alighted in the
harbor mouth of McNab's island at

Washington, May president VIII

Gratis, how he regards the proposal for
. national referendum on the league
Of nations covenant.
Leaders today said they expect
the president to oppose II, prob
ably on three grounds-first, that
Il necessarily involves separation
Of the treaty and tho covenantJ
second, that IL would couse long
delay in getting the league under
way, and third, that il is wholly
unnecessary because the people
have means Of expressing their
views to congress on the league,
and have expressed them.
Congressional sentiment favoring
. nationwide vote has been growing
recently. This sentiment increased to-
day among some senators, who after
reading the peace treaty summary, be-
lieve it will be possible to separate
the treaty and the covenant. This they
regard as essential, If the chance of
delaying tho peace settlement is to be
avoided.
Senator Hitchcock said today he be-
lieves those regarding the two as sep
arabic will be disappointed. Those
who delay the league will by that
much be delaying the final peace" he
