I think I am the only one, even of the inner circle, who has suspected that Cereis, seemingly trapped, chose deliberately to blow himself to bits there on the oceans bottom. l cannot forget the confident air with which he told me he knew all about the trap and how to avoid it. He had seen the pur- suing boats closing in on him. He knew they carried detectives. I can not help believing he realized, as he disappeared beneath the waves, that he was literally, near the end of his rope.
 I have been thinking around this same circle time after time, and always end up by denouncing myself. If only I had not followed Certeis-if only I had warned him-certainly then he would have taken precautions to secure the jewels in safety, and per haps he might have made good his escape with them.
 My very presence, perhaps, shaped his suicidal decision!
 And so, right to the end. incalcuable and tragic was the effect of each oi Ius upon the other. Certeis, on accession had tapped in me sinister wells ot emotion that none-not evey myself knew I possessed. As I had stirred 1T Certeis, I firmly believe, some truly admirable traits of character amid al the puzzling deceits of his manifold personality. .,t-.- I alone, perhaps, of all humans might at one time have brought into being permanently the nobler side O | his nature. And, instead, I shall neve
 be sure that I was not the cause o | his destruction!

Another Record Gone

If we had withheld until remarks of week ago on the subject of The Republicans classi field ad department would have more to say at this time Though the department week ago yes terday morning. embracing almost six pages broke all records in Phoenix any other town in the country of population anywhere near that of Phoe- nix, that remarkable record was shattered yesterday morning when The Republican printed TOP inches of classified ads.
 The growth of this department establishes sev e-al things all inter- related The first is the fidence of the people in this paper superior advertising medium. It means that majority of inc men and women of this community think that ,rbe Republican is the paper through which they can best find the things they want or through which .ho,, can best sell the things they have to sell.
 If enough of them think so it is so beyond any ..avu for the people who thus think are the people oy,tb whom the merchants and professional men of ',h community have to deal If men and women nrefer to advertise in the classified columns of .er,,tn newspaper it is inevitable that tHt is the

newspaper through which they be best and most certainly reached.
 Also the classified department of newspaper is like of those snow balls we used to make when building walls and forts. The bigger they grew in the wet snow the faster they increased in size by gathering up snow.
 The bigger classified department is the people there to read it, and the bigger it is naturally it is the which the people turn. It has the widest range and is therefore the in which people more likely to find what they want.
 So, in the patronage of The Republicans classi- fled ad department increasing the size of it, the people doing something for themselves of which they had not thought They increasing the value of that medium of exchange which is ready their use whenever they have occasion to use it

l Review Certeis' Life and Wonder
 if 1 Caured It's ast Thaoedv

VI OduTeo itS Last na9eoys
 I suppose that the true story of Ham, ilton Certeis' life is one of the most extraordinary romances ever sealed up in secret service annals. It has criss crossed my own life, so many times. in such mysterious ways, bringing such strange adventures and reveal ing so many fascinating vistas of the intrigue in an arch-spy's career, that believe I have material fora biography that would rival romantic fiction at its best.
 Perhaps years from now, if fate ever brings me back to a settled and happy home, I'll try my hand at writing a book about Certeis. But first I'll have to go abroad and pry into the truth of his descent and birth. and learn how much is to be believed of the gos- sip concerning his diplomatic career and his vast inheritance.
 Just because he was so dangerous a spy, of international power, the facts of his ghastly end were never made public. The famous surgeon and inventor" was reported to have been killed in an undersea explosion while testing a new diving suit of his own design.
 It was a plausible explanation, and I learned that so it is always with these men of the secret service. Once they have plunged into the bewilder ing maze of that weird life, their en- tire careers are shrouded in lies, ant even the truth of their death is rare ly known. Friends and enemies alike each playing the game of mystification quietly suppress whatever facts they may know.

RUBBISH PILES IN
 STREET 4 MENACE
 TO FIRE FIGHTERS

That people who leave piles of rub bish in the streets without planting warning lights, preferably with red globe attached thereto, are endanger ing the lives of firemen and others who drive machines through the pub lie thoroughfares after dark, is the statement made yesterday by Fire Chief Simmons.
 The chief made a complaint to the police at midnight Saturday that sev- eral piles of dirt and rubbish had been left on the pavement on West Adams street. Had one of the heavy fire trucks gone tearing down that street and not knowing the dirt was there, plowed into it, there was a fair chance of the machine being wrecked and several firemen either killed or injured.
 The department has had to keep a constant lookout lately for such ac- cumulations of dirt and rubbish for I fear some such accident would hap | pen. The police are endeavoring to keep track of all such menaces and whenever possible notify those respon- sible to put a light on top of the pile | If such suggestions are not compiled with, action will probably be taken either by the police or fire department to safeguard the lives of the firemen.

The Coming Of Senator Reed

We hardly thing Senator Reed will come to Ari- As entertainer, should all enjoy his presence whatever views may be regarding the peace treaty. Though he might not change the op- nions of any of with respect the League of Nations. MT. Reed has become a recognized con- tributor to the gayety of nations.
 That there is majority sentiment in Arizona in favor of the ratification of the peace treaty it stands there is little doubt. That majority is probably considerably less than the normal demo- cratic majority in the state, notwithstanding there many republicans who favor the ratification of the treaty preferably with amendments but without if necessary.
 But generally the contest has become partisan to the issue of ratification without amendments. The democrats sharply on one side and the re- publcans the other The merits or demerits of the treaty concern comparatively few citizens and argument would jar them from the positions they have taken as partisans. Neither Senator Reed President Wilson could materially alter the align ment if he should make speech in every precinct in the state.
 A much larger number of democrats for one another, than republicans, have crossed the suit But democrats who secretly opposed to the treaty not rule coming into the open and voicng opposition to what has become national democratic issue. They are doing that in some states, Missouri Texas and other states but they will not in Arizona where every democrat is, if not potential governor United States representative at least potential constable he will not imperi his chances by conspicuous de- parture from party regularity.
 MT. Reed though eminent democrat. would therefore hardly be welcomed in Arizona with out ward democratic demonstrations joy however much local democrats might nwardly approve of his attitude toward the treaty.
 Dissenting democrats of Arizona have found safer and more effective of fighting the treaty than by loudly and ostentatiousy "whooping it up" against it. They have made known their views in communications to Senator Ashurst and perhaps to Senator Smith.
 So, the democratic proselyter in Arizona of sent- ment against the treaty must conduct still hunt. Senator Reed is not still hunter.
