such close company with Buster Bear"
So Chatterer began to look for tree
into which he might jump from that
one. You know he often travels some
distance in the Green Forest by jump
ing from tree to tree. Now, to his dis
may, Chatterer discovered that there
wasn't a tree near enough for him to
jump to. In his haste to get out of Bus
ters reach he had climbed that tree
without noticing that it stood too far
from others for him to reach them by
jumping across.
Chatterer was more nervous than ever
now. He still felt sure that Buster
couldn't reach him, but the feeling that
he couldn't get away if he wanted to
frightened him little He didn't make
any more faces at Buster. He didn't
call him any more names. In fact. he
kept his tongue absolutely still. When
Chatterer does that you may know that
he has something on his mind. He erept
up to the very tiptop of that tree and
fiattened himself against it, Then he
anxiously looked down to see how Bus
ter was progressing.
He saw Buster step on that dead
branch in which Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse was hiding and send 1t crashing
to the ground. but he didn't give poor
little Whitefoot a single thought. He
was too selfishly occupied with his own
troubles.
At last Buster Bear got as high as

FEARS GERMANY
WILL Be INVOLVED
Dr.. Simons Sees "Serious
Situation" in East
Europe.

BERLIN. October 90 (by the Asso-
tag today on the recent announce
ment by Great Britain of her deter
mination to renounce the right of
confiscation of German property in
the United Kingdom, DR.. Simons, the
foreign minister. declared the value
of this action must not be eXaggerat-
economical and personal interests of
Great Britain
DR.. Simons referred also to the Yer
sailles treaty. saying the government
must recognize it as an obligation
which it signed. and carry out the
terms of the treaty Loyalty. He ex-
pressed the determination of Germany
to restore the devastated regions and
the hope that Germany would reach
an understanding on this subject with
the governments concerned.
Riga Peace Treaty Ineffective.
In the course of his speech. which
was lengthy one. DR.. Simons touched
on what he called the serious situa-
ton in eastern Europe, fearing Ger
many might be drawn into the con-
1ict which was now threatening, since
matters there, he said, were in no
wise ended by the Riga peace treaty.
He alluded gravely to rumors that the
IHteFaiuco commission In upper ST.
lesia was interfering. with the view
of influencing the tranfer of that ter
ritory to Poland.
The commissions sole duty, the
foreign minister asserted, was the
preservation of order So the plebiscite
might be held impartially, and it
would be deplorable if these rumors
were true.
Talks Of "Disturbing Influences,
Regarding Russia, the foreign min
lister stated that care must be exer-
cised against the admittance of dis
turbing influences into Germany, lest
distrust arise. endangering the eco
nomic relations between Russia and
Germany. which Germany would
deeply regret. The soviet govern
ment, he declared. now actually ruled
an overwhelming part Of Russian ter
ritory and must be dealt with accord
ing to the principles of international
law.
8 DR.. Simons announced that Ger
many did not intend to recognize the
efforts of Gen. Wrangel against the
bolsheviki or the movement in Ukraine
and the far east while conditions
there were SO unstable and unclear.

Consumption of petroleum reached

ton decreased slightly. the geological
survey reported today in its monthly
statement. The average daily produc-

August.
The deficiency in domestic produc-
ton. the survey stated, was offset by
net imports of 1O.914.000 barrels. the
largest ever recorded in a single
month.
Decreased production was ascribed
by the survey to lessened returns
from central and north Texas and

barrels. supplanting Oklahoma as first
in rank. Montana also went ahead of
