business. In this way she will be
able to prove her gratitude to
Marie although she would much
rather teach or write. On the trip
east, the train is held up by ban
dts and she makes the acquaint-
ance of Blair Carson, a wealthy
New Yorker, who has been adWir-
ing her during the entire trip and
hoping that chance would give him
the opportunity OF becoming
friends with her. Blair is fasci-

company. But when Drina arrives
east she is thrown constantly in
the company of Colonel Lambert,
an old rounder, who patronizes
Marie's on behalf OF his chorus girl
friends. Mrs. Hilliard in anxious
that Drfna and the colonel marry
but Drina protests, since she does
not love him. Colonel Lambert has
become enamored of Drina, much
to the jealousy of Zelie, roles
girl, who informs him that Marie
has been overcharging for hats
and divided the profits with her
customers. Lambert threatens to
expose Marie unless Drina marries
him, She refuses. Drina suddenly
realizes that it is Blair she loves

his love because she has constantly
avoided him and he has become
very friendly with Zelie. Many ex-

MARINE STRIKE
NEARING END
Announcement Of a Settle
ment Is Expected to Be
Made To-day
DISPUTANTS AGREE ON
ALMOST ALL MATTERS
The Terms of Agreement
Are Said to Constitute
a Compromise

New York, July 25.-Announcement
of the settlement Of the marine work
ers' strike was expected to be made to-
day. Raymond B. Stevens, vice -presi-
dent Of the United States shipping board,
who came here Monday, has since had
conferences with representatives of both
the seamen and the operators and init.
mated that virtually the only thing nee
essary to complete compromise is the
signatures. The terms of compromise
could not be learned, but as both the
steamship men and the strikers have
said they would accept the preferential
for American seamen first and union
men second, it is assumed that some
sort of satisfactory working arrangements
have been made and that neither the
strikers or the ship owners are put in
the position of abandoning their fight.
Striking seamen have agreed to pro-
vide volunteer crews for the fleet of cat
tie boats by which the shipping board is
taking 1900 milch cows to the French
government Three OF the vessels are at

MANY GERMANS ARRESTED.
On Charge of Plot to Defraud Govern
ment by Eliminating Competition.

Coblenz, July 25 tBy the Associated
Press Sixty Germans from Coblenz,
Berlin and other cities were arrested here
by army intelligence officers in eonnec-
tion with an alleged plot to defraud the
government of millions of marks by
eliminating competition at auctions Of
army supplies.
Intelligence Offices said the alleged
fraud was accomplished through an or
ganization, most Of whose members now
are under arrest, that kept competitors
from bidding at auctions where salvaged
army material was sold. On some days
the auction sales amounted to fifteen and
twenty million marks, most Of the mate
rial going to men alleged to belong to
the organization in question.
American soldiers in plain clothes sent
into the crowds at auction sales, accord
ing to the officers, repeatedly were of
fered large sums of money not to bid
against members Of the organization
At night it was said members of the
organization held "an equalization meet
ing" and the material bought during the
day was re-auctoned to the members.
Material sold to members of the organi-
zation will, wherever possible, not be
delivered.

CROATIAN REPUBLIC
PROCLAIMED AFTER
VIOLENT COMBATS
AMERICAN SUPPLIES
BRACED UP RUSSIANS
And Even Caused Some of the Bolsheviki
to Desert Their Own Standards Just
to Get Some White Bread
and Other Supplies.

Paris, July 25.-Twenty thousand Rus
slams, many of them barefoot and with
out rifles and unsupported by heavy ar
tillery, compose the northern Russian
army, whose front extends from the
Finnish coast to Pskov and which is
driving back toward Petrograd bolshe-
vik army four times as large, according
to reports received here from officers OF
the American relief administration on
the scene. These officers are working
part of the time under bolshevik fire en-
deavoring to provision and to provide
medical supplies to this army, made up
chiefly of Russians under prominent old
time Russian leaders. Officers and sol
diers alike are clamoring for tanks,
which had been promised them by the al
lies and with the help of which they ex-
press confidence they could reach Petro-
grad speedily.
The reports Of the provisioning show
that after the arrival in some sectors
early in July of white flour supplied by
the Americans many of the bolsheyiki
succumbed to the lure of white bread
and Joined their enemies. One entire or
ganization, known as the green guards,
because the men wore green uniforms to
render them ineonspicuous in the forests
and which was more than 1000 men
strong, surrendered to the anti -bolshevik
forces.
Before the American help arrived, the
Russians were suffering for lack of many
things. There was no soap, for instance,
and cigarettes were so scarce that they
brought a ruble and half apiece. The
improved conditions and the better food
now supplied to the northern army is
cheering up the men, whose morale is
reported high as compared with that OF
the bolsheyiki opposing them. The lat
ter, according to the reports, now have
to be kept on the front lines by threat
ening them with their own machine gun
fire. Scurvy is said to be prevalent
among them, owing to the scarcity OF
fresh vegetables. The bolsheviki have
armored cars and superior artillery at
their command. but numerous dissensions
among them noted daily are cited as in
dicating poor morale.
There is sufficient American food avail
able in the Gulf of Finland to supply
Petrograd and its suburbs for three
months, but the lack of coordination of
allied assistance to the northern Russian
army and to the Esthonians operating
in conjunction with it is declared to be
preventing the movement upon Petro-
grad from progressing with sufficient
force to effect relief much before winter,
as things stand now, BY that time the
American food now near the scene would
not be available, it is said, as it cannot
be held indefinitely on the ships with
out spelling and would soon have to be
sent to other places, where it is badly
needed.

WILSON DEFzES SENATE
RTTOHAVE FRENCH
TREATY MADE PUBLIC
POINTS OUT DANGER
OF ANY RESERVATION
Sen. Pittman Says It Would Encourage
Nations to Make Reservations and
Renew International Dis
senSion

Washington, D. c., July 25.--Any res
eryation in Senate ratification of the
peace treaty would reopen the whole
field of negotiation, encourage other ma
tions to make reservations and renew
international dissension, declared Sena-
tor Pittman, Nevada, Democratic mem
ber OF the foreign relations committee, in
an address to-day in the Senate.
The speaker cited the Spanish treaty
Of lSl9 to which the Senate attached a
reservation, as to papal claims in Flori-
da, and said that although the Spanish
government attached the same reserva-
tion, the treaty had been ratified a sec
ond time because the two stipulations
were differently worded He pointed
out that the supreme court later had
held this reservation to be "a part Of
the treaty" and that the same court
had held of the treaty with Spain that
"in its essence it is a contract"
1T is immaterial,7 continued Senator
Pittman, whether the Senate considers
the reservation as changing the treaty or
not, for that is question under the law
of contracts that the other party has
an equal right to determine. 1t is i'm
material whether the change be accom-
plshed in the body of the treaty or by
reservations or by interpretative consent
annexed to the treaty. The words in a
contract are Of as much Importance to
the contracting parties as the agreement
itself, and the words once agreed upon
cannot be changed without the consent
Of each of the parties to be found by
the contract.
Are we justified in assuming that
other parliaments and governments will
accept without further Interpretation
our definitions of the articles of the COW
spant as affecting our own obligations =?
"Japan's most bitter fight at the coun-
cil table was to grant the league iuris-
diction to prevent the United States,
Canada and Australia from excluding
Japanese from their territories under the
immigration laws. Think you that the
Japanese government viii neglect the op-
portunity to again insist upon reserva-
tions in the treaty covering this point ?
Think you that the Italian parlia-
ment having the opportunity by re-
opening Of negotiations would hesitate
to place in the treaty reservations which
they believe are necessary to protect
her interests at Fiume, Dalmatia and
along the Adriatie when we had set
the example2
'Would there be cause for surprise If,
in the circumstances, the parliament Of
Great Britain should feel justified in
adding a reservation to the treaty when
it goes back to the effect that the clause
providing for limitation of naval arma-
ment shall not, by reason Of Great Brit
aims peculiar situation, apply to that
government
unless we approve this treaty as it
stands then we open the door to all the
disastrous possibilities of renewed in
ternational dssension."

fer with the president, No further ap-
pointments had been made to-day and

vast number Of papers have to be sep

QUOTES BIBLE TO SHOW
HENRY FORD is NOT AN
ANARCHIST IN THOUGHT
As Advocate Of "World Viewpoint" In
stead of National Viewpoint, Ford Was
Carrying Out Sentiment of "Love
Thy Neighbor as Thyself," Said
Episcopal Divine.

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 25.-- Bish-
op Charles ID. Williams of Detroit, an
Episcopal minister and lecturer, testified
to-day for Henry Ford in Mr.. Ford's
81 100000 libel suit against the Chicago
Daily Tribune.
Bishop Williams testimony was in
tended to refute that of Professor Reeves
of the University of Michigan, who some
time ago testified that many Of Mr..
Ford's ideas were anarchistic. He was
questioned by Attorney Alfred Lucking,
senior counsel for Mr. Ford
'What is an anarchists" asked Mr..
Lucking.
Zone who believes, advocates and
works for the elimination of government
and does so by violent means"
Attorney Lucking quoted Mr.. Ford as
advocating a world viewpoint rather
than the national viewpoint.
''Is there anything in that that is pc
ciiliarly anarchistiel" Bishop Williams
said the remark of Mr.. Ford was not
peculiarly anarehistic but was senti-
ment occurring frequently in the Bible
as Love thy neighbor as thyself."
