GERMANS ACCEPT
ALLIED PROTOCOL.
Signatures Were Affixed to
Document After a Four
Hour Session.

Spa.-The German representatives
signed the coal protocol drawn up by
the allied representatives at S:45
o'clock Friday thereby settling one OF
the most difficult questions which has
come up in the present discussions
Signatures were affixed to the docu-
ment after a fOur-hour session at the
Villa Fraineuse, one hour of which was
spent by the Germans in a cabinet con-
sultatiOn in an adjoining room.
There was a conflict over introduc-
ton in the protocol of the menace of
occupation of additional German terri
tory after October Is next if German
coal deliveries were not up to the
stipulated 100000 tons-by
that date. The allies decided to drop
this clause CT the protocol below the
signature line.
The Germans objected to the pre-
amble, which declared that the de-
cisiOns in the document had been TAX
en- in common accord by the allied
and German delegations. The Ger
mans contended it was not by COM
mon accord, but by sole will of the
allies that any further occupation
would occur. At this juncture DR..
Fehrenbach, the German chancellor,
called a cabinet meeting. An hour
elapsed before Chancellor Fehrenbach
and Foreign Minister Simons appeared
in the conference room. After an eX-
planatory speech by DR.. Simons, all
the delegates signed the protocol.

New War Insurance
Rule Is Generous

Washington.-New conditions under
which lapsed or Cancelled war risk
(term) insurance may be reinstated,
generous in scope, and Of vast impOr-
lance to millions of former service
men throughout the country, are an
nounced by Director r, G. Cholmeley-
Jones of the bureau of war risk in
surance with the approval of Secretary
of the Treasury D. f. Houston.
The new ruling is officially desig,
mated as "T. D. 81 W. R" effective
July /, 1920. The features of maxi
mum interest to former service men
provide for reinstatement, or reinstate-
ment and conversion, of lapsed or can
celed war risk (term) insurance under
conditions substantially as follows:
In all cases the applicant must ten
der at least two monthly premiums
on the amount Of insurance 10 be re,
instated, or reinstated and converted
with his application.
The application also must comply
with the following requirements IN
reference to health to the satisfaction
of the director of the bureau Of wal
risk insurance:
When insurance lapsed or was can
celed prior to July l, 1920, and wher
application is made within eighteen

charge or resignation, but prior tc

The applicant must be in as good
health as at the date of discharge

examination, by simply paying two
monthly premiums on the amount O

CHAPTER Ill.

My great-aunts pearls were gone
stOlen-vanished from the wall safe!
Still discrediting the evidence Of my
own eyes, lighted a match and peer
ed into the steel-lined recess. It was
empty. On the table beside me was
one of the two jewel boxes it had
contained, the one filled with worth
less trinkets. The other, which had
contained the priceless CASTOR pearls
and the other rich treasure. had van
ished.
Today was Saturday. Six days be-
fore had arrived in the apartment.
There had been two jewel cases then.
With my own hands had put them
both back safe in their hiding place.
/ recalled having tested the knob to
make sure that the combination had
set. Yet since that time someone had
opened the safe. Someone had re-
moved the jewels, Who could it have
been?
To the best Of my knowledge there
had been but two persons in the
rooms, old Mrs. Burke, my aunt's
trusted lauDdress, and myself. Ger
tainly l had not taken the jewels, and
it seemed absurd to suspect Mrs.
Burke, who had been in Mrs. GastOn's
employ for years and had long been
entrusted with key to the servants
entrance. Yet who else was there to
suspect?
Recovering a little from my bewil-
derment I fastened to the telephone.
| must notify the superintendent and
also the police that the apartment had
been robbed. l decided, too, that l
should wire my great-unrle Rufus OF
the robbery, and then it dawned on
me for the first time that l did not
know the old couples address, They
merely had said that they were going
to Maine. Never mind, there was
nothing that they could do in their
absence. Probably l could get their
address from the superintendent, or
from Mr.. Gaston's bankers. The first
thing to do was to notify the super
intendent.
But wait With my hand on the
telephone, l stopped short. 1t dawn
ed on me that in all likelihood l would
be the one most under suspicion.
If detectives were called in l could
see that their first move would be to
| lay the theft to my door. They would
investigate everything about me, and
remembered with distress that l,
Spalding Nelson, just now was out of

/ My discharge had come that very
morning like thunderbolt out of a
clear sky. The reason for my per-
emptory dismissal had not been able
to fathOm. In some mysterious fash
ion my employers wrath had been
reused toward me- Why, I could not
imagine. Certainly my life, especially
since my two comrades had gone
