greed! Now, How Is This League To Be Run?

~ABLE dispatches report that
more than forty plans for
league of nations have been
submitted to the American del
egation at the peace congress
at Paris Of these forty plans five have
emerged in a more or less distinct and
coherent form to the view of the world
Tbsv are the plan of General Jan
Christian SHUTS, of South Africa, and
member of the British War Cabinet;
that of Lord Robert Cecil, formerly Min
;s+er of Blockade in the English govern
ment; that of Leon Bourgeois, president
of the French Association for Society
Of Nations; that of the League to En-
force Peace. of which Ex-President Taft
j. the head, and the plan of Lord Bryce,
prepared as long ago as 1915.
All the plans are, necessarily, founded
On some kind of an arbitration scheme,
Init there is wide difference in the clear
ness with which the scheme has been
worked out The League to Enforce
Peace laid down two principles govern
ing arbitration:
First: All justiciable questions arising
between the signatory powers not settled
bv negotiation shall, subject to the limita-
tons Of treaties, be submitted to judicial
tribunal for hearing and judgment. both up
on merits and upon any issue as to its
jurisdiction OF the question.
Second: All other questions arising be
tween the signatories, and not settled by
negotiation, shall be submitted to a coun-
Gil of conciliaton for hearing, consideration
and recommendation.
Fourth: Conferences between the sig
natory powers shall be held from time to
time to formulate and codify rules of in
ternational law. which. unless some sigma
tory power shall signify its dissent within
stated period shall thereafter govern in

pected to close his eyes that night.
He slept as soundly as his comrades,
awakening, as was his habit, a few
minutes before reveille. with a mind
singularly clarified by sleep. He would
ask to parade before his commanding
officer in the morning and state the
facts, leaving the rest to fate.
He was not destined to, for the same
corporal who had put him on duty dur
Ing his previous afternoon 'off" called
him five minutes before parade.

once"
Mark hurried to the Office, to find the
sergeant major in company with one
OF the senior captains; then he remem-
bered that rumors Of the preceding
evening had sent the Major away with
the inspecting General. His interview
must be postponed, then.

NOT THE EXPECTED CAR0LERS
Youngster Merely Mistook Dulcet
Voice Of Domestic Animal for the
Music Looked For.

She had placed lighted candle in
the window because the instructions
said to do just tilat thing. A lighted
candle on Christmas eve would notify
the carolers that music was desired
and they would stop to sing. 1t was
all quite simple. So the candle burned
ever so brightly while the members OF
the family were busily engaged in In
specting Christmas presents and walt
ing for the community singers.
Finally lnc iittle boy began to play
on his toy piano and there was consid'
cradle noise in the house. Above the
din. however, there came a sound from
out Of doors.
Listen. mother" one OF the children
Insisted. make baby be quiet. Don't
you hear the Christmas carols"
Suddenly all was silent--that Is, all
was silent with the exception of the
neighbor's cat. Apparently IL was sing
ing something in German. At any rate
the little boy went on playing his piano
and the carolers never did appear.

They hattened themselves as q
rocket burst into the air above the
German lines.
Then the machine guns burst forth.
"Rat-tat-tat-tatl l" sang the bullets over
head.
They swished through the grass and
battered on the ground. No answer
came from the section of the Ameri-
can line Immediately behind the de-
tenders, but on each side there came
answering volleys, making the air an
inferno of cracking death. Then,
gradually, the alarm subsidized The
rocket showers died down.
'Now. boysI" whispered the corpo-
raj.
They crawled onward. The huddled
form came into clear view. The body
seemed to be already blending With
the earth, melting into formlessness:
and there was no need to wonder
whether this was of dead or wounded
man.
The corporal swore.
81 told you so" mumbled Marks
companion. II told you so. What's he
sent US here for, the foolT'
His words ended in gurgle. From
behind the shelter of the corpse leaped
FIVE men. NoIselessly they flung them
selves upon the party of three. Mark
felt pistol at his temple.
Surrender Kissed a voice In his
ear.
In flash he realized the trap. The
three were unarmed, noncombatants;
It was a counter-raid--and Kellerman
had known that the enemy were abroad
that night and suspected their rendez~
vous.
He saw his two companions being
dragged, unresisting, toward the Ger
man lines. Three men were with
them; besides his immediate antago-
mist there was only one other figure
IN the immediate vicinity. and that one
had half turned away.
And the thought Of the internal trap
goaded Mark to madness. As his cap
tor, never suspecting resistance on his
part, let the muzzle Of the pistol droop,
Mark drew back his hand and struck
upward with all his might
He felt the burn of the powder az
the discharged bullet sped under his
chin, he heard the startled cry Of the
Germans; and then a furious outburst
Of machine-gun fire came from the
trenches opposite. Two Very lights
went up, revealing the two struggling
men to the sentries on either side.
Mark saw a powerful man, ser
geant, he thought, with close-cropped
yellow hair and the body Of a Her
cules. The man dashed at him, strik-
ing madly with his bare fists. The two
fought amid a haIlstorm of bullets.

Mark stepped upon the sentry's plat

Then he heard Kellerman's voice at
his side.

No word had come Of any project Of
attack on the morrow morning. In this
the sergeant's prediction had probably
proved false; yet the feeling in the air
of something impending seemed to
have communicated itself to the enc
my's lines.
A wiring party and listening post
party were ont from the American
trenches, and Mark was on duty with
three others Of the stretcher bearers
company, ready for call.
A corporal was at the dugout door.
"Stretcher bearersI' he whispered.

Mark saluted and went out lust as
Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.
You must have some pull at head
quarters, Weston" he said. "Do you
know Major Kellerman2"
"A little sir" answered Mark grimIy.
"Well, he seems to know all about
you, and he told The o. @. over the tel
ephone that he must have you. He'll
be your o. @. now for a while, so
things ought to run smoothly for YOU"
Hes not a doctor, sir"
mo, but the stretcher bearers aren't
medical corps; they're attached to
the TIL"
Mark hurried away. In the barrack
room, at breakfast, the two were the
subject of mingled jests and ccngratu-
lations. The stretcher bearers, form
ing, as 1t were, the last supports of
the infantry, shared with them the
great proportion of casualties. Keller
mans scheme was perfectly clear to
Mark.
He was in a wretched state of mind
when the car steamed into the depot
at the end Of the narrow-gauge line.
He descended into city, a mushroom
city of the supply and transportation
department.
A sergeant and corporal, with nine
or ten men Of che stretcher bearers
company, were waiting for the two.
The little troop was returning to the
trenches after five days of relief at a
rest camp.
you're the two men from the base
hospital?" asked the sergeant. "All
right Fall In. Right turnl Quick
march,"
They moved away down a slope and
began to pick their way along the be-
ginning Of a maze Of trenches.
The roar of guns, which had never
ceased by night or day, and had long
ceased to be noticeable, was louder
now.
Suddenly the sergeant stopped.
"There was ten Of you," he said to
the corporal.
"All here" responded the corporal.
The sergeant turned to Mark.
"Where's your mater" he asked.
Mark, who had been plodding along
under the impression that Hartley was
following, turned round, to find that
he was the last of the party. Hartley
was nowhere to be seen.
The sergeant ran back few PAGES,
to return breathless and red in the
face. '.He's gone, the silly fooli' he
spluttered. "Must have taken the
wrong turn at the bend. Go back and
get him"
But Hartley was not at the bend.
The sergeant Joined Mark, incredulous.
They scrambled up the bank and
scanned the level road. There was no
pedestrian in sight.
Hes taken the wrong turn some
where" insisted the sergeant. "Come
along with mel We've got to find
him !"
They began doubling back, shout
ing, until they reached the end of the
trench system. Still Hartley could not
be found.

the sergeant grumbled. "And I'll break
