Paris, April 9.-The reparations

settled and only minor details con-
corning the functions of the commits

from Germany remain to be arrang-
ed. The Polish question, including
the status of Danzig, is also nearing

moved much of the tension which
existed in conference circles and has
led to renewed confidence in an
early and satisfactory conclusion.

NABS FIREBUC
AFTER LONG CHASE
CONTINUED from First Page.l

lCOntinued from First Page.
Rundell failed to turn up at Novem-
Der court, the Fire Marshal's de-
partment started to make diligent
search for the delinquent, and Dep
uty Lewis d. Buono, of Chester. who
had worked up a strong case against
the defendants, was put upon the
scent of the missing man. After
some very clever detective work, it
was found that Rundell and his
family were residing in Los Angeles,
California, and that the runaway
held an important position in one
of the big department stores of that
city.
The State Fire Marshaps depart
ment got in touch with Los Angeles
police authorities, but they replied
that Rundell could not be located in
the city, in which they were cor
roborated by the postal authorities.
The State Fire Marshal's depart
ment and Deputy Buono, being
sure of their ground, the latter was
sent to Los Angeles on the 7th of
March, who arrested Rundell ten
days later. The man was located
exactly where Deputy Buono had
ascertained he was employed.
Ready For Trial
After Deputy Buono had lodged
the prisoner in Jail, the former pro
ceeded to Sacramento, the capital of
the state, where the Governor of
California honored the requisition
papers. Thus fortified, the deputy
returned to Los Angeles, and a few
days thereafter started across the
continent with his prisoner, in easy
stages. Rundell was placed in the
lookup at Athens last Friday and
the day following was lodged in the
county Jail at Towanda. The trial
of the implicated men is set for the
second Monday in May.
Owing to the great extremity and
expense resorted to in the appre-
hension of the prisoner, Auditor
General Snyder, mindful of the i'm
portance to the state of getting Run
dell back to Bradford county, agreed
to sustain the State Fire Marshal
in the payment of every legitimate
expense. First, however, it was
agreed upon that the Commission
ers of Bradford county should be
induced to pay share. They were
of the opinion that the search for
Rundell would prove wild goose
chase" and refused to pay any part
of the expense. They agreed, how
ever, that upon the delivery of Run
dell into the hands of the Sheriff of
Bradford county they would pay the
entire expense. Yesterday Deputy
Buono arrived in Harrisburg with a
check for the full amount, which
was turned into the State Fire Mar
shals fund. In suing out the bond,
the Commissioners of Bradford
county will realize the full amount
expended, so that in the end
DeWaters, it is believed, will pay
the whole freight"

Robert Barrett Says Country
Can Retain Its Prestige
Gained During War

Washington, April "a study of
market conditions and methods in
Argentina has convinced me that. so
far as this particular country is con-
cerned, American trade will continue
for many years to hold its own"
Robert S. Barrett, commercial at

in Buenos Aires. declared to-day in
a report to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce.
In answering the most pertinent
question" now in the minds of busi-
ness men of the United States
whether this country can retain the
commercial prestige gained during
the war-Mr. Barrett found numer-
Gus reasons for optimism. He said
firms in the United States were COM
ing to a better understanding of
their South American trade because
they were studying its needs. In
creased credit facilities are being ar
ranged and closer relations achieved
by the establishment of branch
houses in Latin-America and buying
offices in the United States.
He warned, however. that compet-
ltlNe 1felBht rates, trained men aD-
solute honesty and investment in
South American securities were nee
essary to maintain the position which
United States goods now hold in the
countries to the south of the equa-
tor.
while perhaps the United States
percentage of the total imports into
Argentina may not be so large as
it has been in the past four years,
during which competition from Eur
opean countries was greatly affected
by the war. the value of it's exports
to Argentina will be larger in the
next few years than ever BEFORE"
Mr.. Barrett said.

CHANCES IN GAME OF LIFE
Must Be Winners and Losers, Since 1t
Is Sure All Cannot Hold
Equal Cards.

Life Is like game of cards. Some
must win. Some must lose. 1t all de-
pends upon the player and on the
gambling chances that may favor or
disappoint him.
All have the same gambling chance,
so the players ability really deter
mines whether he shall be a loser or
q winner. Assiduity, persistence, prac-
tice and patience all help to make him
a winner, and the lack Of these loser.
Those who win make their gains at
the expense of those who lose. There
must always be winners and losers,
the winners rejoicing and the losers
disappointed, complaining and jealous
of the winners.
How much like the experience OF ev-
eryday life! Some succeed because of
their diligence, earnestness and cease
less ambition, others lose because OF
the lack of these winning qualities.
Some live in well-deserved ease and
comfort on the proceeds of their sue
cess others in discomfort, proclaiming
that they suffer from injustice.
Everybody must play the game OF
life, and. like the game Of cards. In
the end every gamester must be
loser. Only the Grim Reaper is sure to
be the winner In the end.-John A.
