CHAPTER XVI.
The Man With the scxths.


II was late In June before I was able
20 disengage myself from the work of
the judges Office. Meanwhile there
had been blood shed back In the hills.
One OF the sheriff's posse had been Sc
verely wounded by a bullet and had
fniled 10 serve the writs. The Judge
had appealed to the governor. People
were talking of "the rent war;"
What a JOY entered my heart when
1 was aboard the steamboat, at last,
and on my way TO all most dear to me
As l entered Lake Champlaln i con-
suited the map and decided to leave
the boat mt Chimney Point to find Kate
Fullerton. who had written TO the
schoolmaster FROM Canterbury. My
aunt had said In letter that old Kate
was living there and that a great
change had come over her. SO went
ashore and hired horse of the ferry
man.
i passed through Mlddlebury and
rode into the grounds of the college,
where the senator had been educated,
ana on out TO Weybrldge to see where
he had lived as boy. l found the
Wright homestead-a comfortable
white house at the head Of beautiful
valley with wooded hills behind it
and rode up TO the door A white
haired old lady In black lace cap
was sitting on its porch looking out
at the sunllt fields.

when he was boy?" l asked.
"Yes, sir" the old lady answered.

SO we started up the road on our
way back TO Coblesklll. Our guide left
us NJ the town line some three miles
beyond.
Latour was busy picking his arms
and shoulders. Presently he took on
his fcathered coat and threw II away,
saying:

learned judge.
One evening I went TO his home de-

frankly that I thought the PATRONS
should seek friendly settlement with
their tenants.
"Whyr' he asked.
Because their position Is unjust,
un-American and untenable," was my
answer.
He rose and gave me his hand and

gentle persuasion and higher pay. but

The sensation of the week in the
United States was the uncovering of
grisly plot TO assassinate leading
citizens in all parts Of the country.
Several scores of cleverly constructed
bombs were mailed from New York
city to members of the cabinet, sem
stors, representatives. judges and
wealthy men, and only the failure to
attach sufficient postage prevented the
murder or manning of many Of the in
tended victims. Practically all OF
those whose death was thus sought
have been concerned In some way
with the prosecution or deportation
Of members of the I. w. w. and other
radicals, so the source of the bombs
Is not far to seek. The reds had
threatened demonstration on MAY L
In behalf of Thomas J. Mooney and
others convicted of the San Francisco
bomb outrage. and Eugene v. Dehs,
when sent to prison for violating the
espionage act, had voiced similar
threat. Investigation showed the
bombs had been mailed on different
days with the evident plan that they
should be received by the victims on
the same day. The Socialists denied
any part in the plot or any knowledge
Of 1t. but its discovery and the general
feeling Of indignation 1t aroused result
ed in'the suppression OF their plans for
elaborate May day celebrations in va
rious cities.

That the former kaiser will be tried
for at least some of his crimes seemed
reasonably certain. since the commits
sion on responsibility recommended
that he be arraigned before an inter
national tribunal mot for an ofrense
against criminal law. but for a SUI
preme offense against international
morality and the sanctity of treaties"
This decision was reached despite the
sentimental protests of the Japanese
and the painfully technical objections
Of Mr.. Lansing. The viewpoint Of the
japanese is easily understandable,
since for them TO admit that a kaiser
Of Germany is responsible for his ac-
tons to anyone short of divinity
would be knocking Off one Of the legs
Of their own emperors throne. Per-
haps Mr.. Lansing could make his po-
sition clear TO committee Of the
bar association. but the layman can
scarcely comprehend it.
According TO the recommendation Of
the commission. offenders of lesser
rank are TO be tried before tribunals
OF the country or countries whose ma
tionals suffered by their crimes. The
German government is required TO fur
nish all documents and information in
its possession necessary TO discover
the offenders and fix their responsible
ity. The Netherlands government is
to be asked to surrender the ex-kaiser
and the German government is called
on to give up all the other accused
persons.

These and several other matters hav-
ing DELAYED the completion of the peace
treaty, II could not be presented 10 the
Germans last week. but this ceremony,
It was believed, would take place Mon
day. The German plenipotentiarles
arrived ut Versailles on Wednesday
and were received by representative
OF the French foreign ministry with
cold but carefully studiod-out formal
ity, after which they were housed in
the Hotel des Reservoirs On Thurs
day they handed over their credentials
TO an allied commission headed by
Jules Cambon. and the same day wit
messed their first formal meeting with
the allied peace commissioners as rep
resented by special committee that
included Americans.
Though these Germans are called
plenipotentiaries, there was some
doubt last week as to the adequacy
Of their powers and especially as to
their qualifications TO speak and act
for Bavaria. Examination into this
matter, IL was said. might further dc
lay the presentation of the peace terms.
II Is understood the Germans will be
given enough time 10 study the treaty
ADD to transmit II 10 the national as
sembly at Welmar. but that its terms
would not be subject 10 any material
notifications at their demand. Should
the Germans refuse 10 sign the treaty
their further resistance to the allies
could be but little more than passive.
and doubtless Marshal FOch has in
hand full plans 10 meet that situation.
These presumably wSIld include the
occupation Of more German territory
the seizure Of more material resources
and the continuation Of the blockade
Prominent Huns are quoted daily in
protest against the "harshness" of the
terms, which they aver will only throw
Germany into the hands Of the bolshe-
wiki. An argument that already has
lost most Of its force. The publication
of the terms which Herr Erzberger had
drawn up to be imposed on the allies
after their defeat doesn't tend to in
crease the spirit Of leniency toward
the Huns. for they were planning to
impose on France and Belgium the
most crushing of terms.
