many Had Part In Starting the
War-hun Doesn't Understand
Why He Should Suffer.

The German national assembly has
demonstrated two things clearly. It
Is unable to do business much more
speedily than the old reichstag, chief
~ because there Is little unity and
much dissension between the parties,
and the old order Of things has
changed very little despite the new
faces.
The latter Is perhaps the most I'M
portant point. because the assembly
was hailed by German papers-and
particularly by the agencies that sup
ply the outside world with news-as
the birth Of the new republic, the be-
ginning of new regime, the living en-
blem of the passing Of the old.
1t Is new In q sense, and the old
regime has passed. perhaps. but there
are enough Of the old people left, and
so many Of the new people are not
much unlike the old that the effect in
the Weimar theater is not much diff.
ferent from the reichstag. One hears
precisely the same arguments from the
floor, watches precious time fly by over
the same and similar arguments as
used to make one despair Of construc-
tive legislation.
One Admits cermanys Guilt.
Perhaps the most striking thing is
the tone Of the great majority of the
party speeches. Just one delegate has
had the courage to attack the con.
servatlves and the moral strength to
60 on record as admitting that Ger
many had something to do with start
ing the war. Man after man, regard
less Of party, has. in speeches proved
to his own and the houses satisfaction
that Russia, France or England, not
Germany, started the war;
One lone man has had the courage
to tell the house that the German
treatment of Belgium forever forbids
German complaints from being eff.
fective. The great bulk at least of
northern Germany, seems to have
adopted the attitude:
"Well, it's all over now. We. the
people, didn't start the thing at any
rate, SO let's start out even and square,
with no hard feelings on any side."
The assembly is the principal out
let for every known kind of propa.
ganda, INDUCED in nearly as vehement

Of the savage life from which we both
wish to preserve him."
Mr.. Moore's room was next to that
Of his youthful charge, and 1t was the
tutors custom to have q look into the
boys each evening as the former was
about to retire. This evening he was
particularly careful not to neglect this
duty, for he had just come from a con-
ference with the boys father and moth
err, In which 1t had been impressed
upon him that he must exercise the
greatest care to prevent Jack visiting
the music hall where Ajax was being
shown.
So when he opened the boys door at
about half-past nine he was greatly ex-
cited, though not entirely surprised, to
find the future Lord Greystoke fully
dressed for the street and about to
crawl from his open bedroom window.
Mr.. Moore made a rapid sprint
across the apartment, but the waste Of
energy was unnecessary, for when the
boy heard him within the chamber and
realized that he had been discovered,
he turned back, as though to relinquish
his planned adventure.
"Where were you goingY painted the
excited Mr.. Moore.
II am going to see Ajax" replied the
boy quietly.
II am astonished !" cried Mr.. Moore.
A moment later he was infinitely more
astonished. for the boy, approaching
close to him, suddenly seized him about
the waist, lifted him from his feet and
threw him, back downward, upon the
bed, showing his face deep into the soft
pillow.
BE quiet" admonished the victor,
''or I'll choke you"
Mr.. Moore struggled. but his efforts
were in vain. Whatever else Tarzan of
the Apes may or may not have handed
down to his son, he had at least be-
Queathed him almost as marvellous a
physique as he himself had possessed
at the same age.
Kneeling upon him, Jack tore strips
from a sheet and bound the mans
hands behind his back. Then he rolled
him over and stuffed gag Of the same
material between his teeth, securing 1t
with a strip wound about the back of
his victims head. Next he tied Mr..
Moore's feet together.

Minute Men Aid
Allies In Russia

The appearance of peasants fighting
voluntarily against Trotzky's forces
has a demoralizing effect upon the
bOlsheviki, as it disabuses the minds
OF some of them of the theory that
they are being opposed only by "im-
perialists."
Scout Like Animals.
The partisans know that il they are
captured they will be shot. But.
knowing the forest country as city
jewellers know their own streets, they
are seldom captured. In scouting they
are as tireless as wild animals.
The government of the north for
long time did nothing to help the par
tisans, but now that their usefulness
Is recognized they and their families
are provisioned as If they were regu-

1t became clear that a sound evolu-
ton from anarchy toward patriotism
had taken place among the people !;
that the efforts of the partisans.
though Of local character, must be
supported, and that it was absolutely
necessary to create suitable atmos-
phere for further organization OF par

formed in Archangel to aid this plan,

CHAPTER II.
ITO See Ajax"


Mr.. Harold Moore was q bilious
countenanced, studious young man. He
took himself very seriously, and his
life and his work, which latter was the
tutoring Of the young son Of Lord
GreystOke, a British nobleman. He
1elt that his charge was not making
the progress that his parents had a
right to expect, and he was now con-
scientiously explaining this fact to the
boys mother.
His sole interest seems to be feats
OF physical prowess and the reading of
everything that he can get hold of re-
lating to savage beasts and the lives
and customs of uneisilized peoples.
Particularly stories OF animals appeal
to him. He will sit for hours together
porting over the work of some African
explorer, and upon two occasions l
have found him sitting up Ia bed at
night reading Carl Hagenbeck's book
On men and beasts.
For several minutes neither spoke

broke the silence.

"Whoop!" from the direction Of the
window brought them both to their
feet.
The room was on the second floor of
the house, and opposite the window to
which their attention had been attract
ed was large tree. a branch Of which
spread to within few feet of the sill.
Upon this branch they both discov-
cred the subject Of their conversation,
a tall. well built boy, balancing with
ease upon the bending limb and utter
ing loud shouts Of glee as he noted the
terrified expressions upon the faces of
his audience.
The mother and tutor both rushed
toward the window, but before they
had crossed half the room the boy had
leaped nimbly to the sill and entered
the apartment with them.
"Oh, mother" he cried, there's Q
wonderful educated ape being shown
at one Of the music halls. Willie
Grlmsby saw 1t last night. He says It
can do everything but talk. It rides a
bicycle, eats with knife and fork, counts
up to ten and ever SO many other won
derful things. And can 60 and see It
too? oh, please, mother-please let

Patting the boys cheek affectionate-

the door opened to admit tall, gray
eyed man-"oh, father, can't I goT

conner.
He wants to 60 to a music hall to
see trained ape" said the mother,
looking warningly at her husband.
"Who-Ajax" questioned the man.
The boy nodded.

mind seeing him myself. They say he
Is very wonderful and that for an an

turned toward his wife.
But that lady only shook her head in
most positive manner and, turning to
Mr.. Moore, asked him II it was not
time that he and Jack were In the
study for their morning Rotations.
When the two had left she turned to.
ward her husband.
1t was from her husband that the
boy had inherited his longing for the
wild. Lord Greystoke's parents had

observed than in his attitude to the
question Of the conduct Of the war. II
lie only rarely that criticism of 1t IL
heard In the house, and the general
feeling seems to be that II anything IL
wrong with It, that is all in the past
and should be forgotten or overlooked
by Germany's enemies.
The prisoner of war question Is az
puzzling to the student Of German psy-
chology just now RS anything else.
Virtually every speaker touches upon
the prisoner question before he leaves
the tribune. Tell German first that
the armistice made no provision for
the return of German prisoners. and,
second, that, while Germany begs daily
for food, she attempts Mt the same
time to saddle herself with 10000
more mouths to feed, and 1t has no ef-
feet on him. It cannot be sheer pity
for the welfare Of the prisoners, be-
cause plenty Of Germans know only too
well how slim food Is.
Listening to delegates to the assem-
bly,, and talking to Germans outside Of
1t, the correspondent finds that the old
German viewpoint he learned to know
so well during the war until the breach
with America is still abroad in the
land, though in less truculent form.
The German does not understand why
he now should suffer; why everything
cannot be placed on a basis Of status
quo ante; why anyone should hold
against him the conduct of the war
with which. he claims. he had moth
ing to do.

Peasants Without Uniforms Give
Valuable Assistance to Inter-
national Army.
HAIL ALLIES AS REScuERs
In Nearly Every Attack Made on
Enemy These PartIsans Go Ahead
Of or Along the Flanks Look
Ing for Pot Shot.

With the Americans on the North
Russian Front-In this international
army, which is fighting numerically
superior bolshevik forces in north
Russia, there are. mingled with the
half dozen or so varieties of uniforms
men who wear no uniforms at all.
They fight, as did the francs tlreurs
In the Franco-Prussian war, and the
first minute men of the American rev.
olution, for the protection Of their
firesldes.
They are peasants, bearded or
beardless, with nothing to distinguish
them from the thousands of other
peasants living around them but their
guns and cartridge belts. They are
the irregular or partisan" troops,
and the sentiments they are showing
and fighting for in this wilderness of
snow and pine trees loom up SO patri-
otically that the government of north
ern Russia Is beginning to look upon
them as the keystone on which to
build Russian state that will be free
from bolshevism.
Hail Allies as Rescuers.
These peasants have known the raw
ages Of bolshevik troops In their vii
lagos. They have seen friends exc
cuted for antibolshevik activities.
They hail the allies as rescuers. In
nearly every attack the regular troops
make against the enemy one finds
these armed partisans, crack shots, 60
ing ahead of or along the TANKS OF
the Americans, British, French and
trained, uniformed Russians to scout
a path or take pot shot at the enemy.
The point of view of these peasants
is this: The army has not yet been or.
ganized; we are robbed and iii treated
by the bolsheviki; therefore we have
to defend ourselves. The peasants In
the Kholmogory district, along the
Dwina river. have been fighting for
four months. Military authorities say
they do their work as cheerfully and
efficiently as regular soldiers. The
red guards are helpless against the re-
VOTED population.

CHAPTER l-ContInued.

The officers and scientists aboard Of
ten discussed the beast, but they were
unable to account satisfactorily for the
strange ceremony with which he greet
Cd each new face. Had he been disc0v-
cred upon the mainland or any other
place than the almost unknown island
that had been his home they would
have concluded that he had formerly
been . pet Of man, but that theory was
not tenable in the face Of the isolation
Of his uninhabited island.
He seemed continually to be search
Ing for some one. and during the FIRST
days Of the return voyage from the
island he was often discovered nosing
about in various parts Of the ship. but
after he had seen and examined each
face Of the ships company and expl0r-
I'd every corner Of the vessel, he lapsed
into utter indifference Of all about him.
Even the Russian elected only casual
interest when he brought him food. At
other times the ape appeared merely
70 tolerate him.
He never showed affection for him or
Tor anyone else upon the Marjorie w.
Nor did he at any time evince any in
dicatiOn Of the savage temper that had
marked his resentment Of the attack
OF the sailors upon him at eShe time
that he had come among them.
Most Of his time was spent in the
eye Of the shlp. scanning the horizon
ahead, as though he wera endowed
with sufficient reason to know that the
vessel was bound for some port where
there would be other human beings to
undergo his searching scrutiny. All In
all, Ajax, as he had been dubbed, was
considered the most remarkable and in
telligent ape that anyone aboard the
Marjorie w. had ever seen.
Nor was his intelligence the only re-
markable attribute he owned. His
stature and physique were, for an ape.
awe-inspiring. That he was old was
quite evident, but II his age had i'm
paired his physical or mental powers
In the slightest It was not apparent.
And SO at length the Marjorie w.
came to England, and there the officers
and the scientists, filled with compass
sion for the pitiful wreck OF a man
they had rescued from the jungles, fur
nished Paulvitch with funds and bid
him and Ajax Godspeed.
Upon the dock and all through the
Journey to London the Russian had his
hands full with Ajax. Each new face
Of the thousands that came within the
,anthrapoid's ken must be carefully
scrutinized, much to the horror Of many
Of his victims. But at last. falling ap-
parently to discover whom he sought,
the great ape relapsed into morbid ap-
difference, only occasionally evincing
interest in passing face.
In London Paulvitch went directly
with his prize to a famous animal
trainer. This man was much impressed
with Ajax. with the result that he
agreed to train him for lions share
Of the profits 0rexhibiting him and In
the meantime to provide for the keep
OF both the ape and his owner.
And so came Ajax to London. and
there was forged another link In the
chain Of strange circumstances that
were to affect the lives of many people.

He was known as Tarzan. After many

STINGY ABOUT IT

Yesterday morning about II
O'Clock the airplane from San
Diego hove in sight and within
a few minutes it had alighted
on the field prepared to receive
it. Immediately it was encircled
by a Gordon of military police,
and no one was permitted to APP
proach it, much to the express
sed disappointment of many
who would have liked to inspect
the mechanism of the motor.
About 3 o'clock in the after
noon the machine started away
again, and in a few minutes it
was a mere speck in the dis
lance.
Really the visit of the air
plane was a great disappoint-
ment. To have aroused enthus-
iasm and meet the object of the

people, should have been given
some opportunity to see the
machine and its workings.
The tank that was announced
to be here tomorrow arrived by
freight yesterday and it was
unloaded from a flat car at the
depot, whence it trundled up
Morley Avenue and back again,
passing the court house toward
the place where the airplane
was.
1t is to- be hoped people may
be given an opportunity to see
more of the tank than they did
of the ai1plane.
