Boche Prisoners in
A. E. F. Blossom Out
With Gold Cheurons
(By Associated Press,

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 1.-THE immense
amount of work in constructing roads,
building barracks, unloading and re-
loading the vast tonnage of supplies
for the American army gave several
prisoners of war in the Brest area the
idea that they were worthy of recog-
nition in the service of the A. E. F.,
and accordingly having finished six
months of good hard work, these
boches concluded that they were elig.
ible to wear gold service chevron.
They blossomed forth one day with
a bright gold chevron glittering on
the lower part of the left sleeve. 1t
was wholly out of harmony with their
general appearance. according to the
sharp vision Of the military police,
who had charge of their surveillance.
The "M P.'' could not understand this
hybrid establishment, coupled with
the large letters "P. W." signifying
prisoners of war" on their backs.
Fulfilling his duty, he inquired the
purpose of this unauthorized dazzle on
the left sleeve. The boche explained
his affiliation in the American army.
but that did not satisfy the IN. Pr
Off came the chevrons with one
strong rip.

PRESS
HOLDS AMENDED
DRAFT INFERIOR
Little Enthusiasm Shown
Over Revised Covenant
No Opposition to Doctrine.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 1.-THE summary
Of the amended covenant of the league
of nations evokes no enthusiasm in
the London morning newspapers and
1t is declared by some commentators
to be less satisfactory than the first
draft. The Chronicle, for instance,
points out certain points which it
thinks make the new draft distinctly
and perhaps decisively inferior to the
old"
The newspaper condemns the policy
of requiring unanimity for the decis-
ions of both the council and assem-
bly, and also condemns the terms up
on which the covenant may be
amended and permission given any
nation to withdraw on two years no.
tice.
1t regards the covenant as un-
harmed by the Monroe doctrine
amendment, which it believes should
facilitate the arhesion of the United
States to the covenant.
The Daily News, which is warm
champion of the principal of the
league, sees danger in some of Its
provisions. 1t objects to the consti-
tuition of the new council, which, 1t
says, "will manifestly be controlled
by prominent representatives of the
five great powers when they are in
agreement" and it fails to see how
the four representatives of the other
powers chosen for the assembly can
have much independence. The news
paper does not express any great con-
fidence in the efficacy of the league
in any case.
Sees No improvement.
The Labor newspaper, the Daily
Herald, says the summary does not
indicate much improvement on the
original draft. 1t declares that from
a democratic viewpoint, "the league is
still an alliance of states and not
union of peoples"
The Post, which is an opponent OF
the league and severe critic OF Pres
ident Wilson, refers ironically to the
New Garden of Eden" in which the
Monroe Doctrine will take the place
of the tree of knowledge Of good and
evil" referring to the fruits
of the western hemisphere being for
ever forbidden as signatories of the
league"
Attributing to President Wilson per-
sonally the features of the draft 10
which it most objects, the newspa'
per says that "posterity will place him
with Metternich and Castlereagh as
one who worked the confusion OF
other nations and the greatness OF
his own" It concludes by declaring
it monstrous that such covenant
should be signed without first fairly
being considered by the public and
parliament.

STATE QUOTAS SMALLER.

Quotas of most communities of loan
will be three-fourths of the quotas in
the fourth loan, the treasury explain
ed today, since the $4,500,000,000 to-
tai of the Victory issue is three
fourths of the s6,0O0,o0o,o00 total of
the fourth issue. The goal assigned
each community and state, is left,
however, to the federal reserve dis
trict loan organization and is not de-
termined by the treasury.
In practically all cases, it was said,
no change would be made by the dis
trict organization in the proportion
ate tasks assigned each community
in comparison with the fourth loan.
Quotas of the twelve federal reserve
districts are the same in percentage
as in the last issue and consequently
the amount for each will be three
fourths of the share in the fourth
loan drive.

CHAPTER XIV.
"what Can IL MSan2n

1.-TWO more hours passed before the
lawyers and their client rose
from their seats about the long
table. Even then the consultation was
not at an end. Sylvester and the cap
tain lunched together at the Central
club and sat in the smoking room un-
til after 4, talking earnestly. When
they parted the attorney was grave
and troubled.
"An right, Captain Warren" he said;
"1'n do it. And you may be right.
certainly hope you are But l must
confess I don't look forward to my
task with pleasure. l think I've got
the toughest end"
It'll be rOugh-there's no doubt about
that-rough for all hands, guess. And
I hope you understand, Mr.. Sylvester,
that there amt many men I'd trust to
do what l ask you to. l appreciate

as-as gentle as you can. won't you"
II will. You can depend upon that"

They shook hands. Captain Elisha
returned to the boarding house, where
he found letter awaiting him. It was
from Caroline, telling him of her en-
gagement to Malcolm Dunn. She wrote
that, while not recognizing his right to
interfere in any way, she felt that per-
haps he should know of her action. he
did not go down to supper and when
Pearson came to inquire the reason ex-
cused himself, pleading late luncheon
and no appetite. He guessed he would
turn in early, so he said. 1t was poor
guess.
Next morning he went uptown. Ed
wards, opening the door of the War
rem apartment, was surprised to find
who had rung the bell.
"Mornfn', Commodore" hailed the
captain. as casually as If he were mere
1y returning from a stroll. "Is Miss
Caroline aboard ship?"
"Why-why. don't know, sir. I'll
see."
That's all right. She's aboard or you
wouldn't have to see. You and me
