Cleveland, Ohio.-A trip to Eur

Cleveland Grays, who formed Com

in the Bacarat sector, the Argonne

to escort the king of the Mardi Gras

Maj. L. S. Conelly in looking over
the old records recently, recalled
that the organization was consider

go to Europe later, and they met the
German military-but in a different
manner than originally planned.

a score of criminals refuse to believe

of special information. Mrs. Pickett
probably knows a great deal which
neither you nor I know, and it's just
possible that she may have some trivial
piece of knowledge which will prove
the key to this mystery"
Cakes laughed again.

Detective Cakes.


The Office of the Paul j. Snyder De
tective agency had grown in the course
of half a dozen years from a single
room to a palatial suite full of pol
ished wood, clicking typewriters, and
other evidences of success. Where
once Mr.. Snyder had sat and waited
for clients and attended to those
clients on the rare occasions when
they arrived in person, he now sat in
his private Office and directed a corps
of assistants.
His cap was no longer in his hand,
and his time at the disposal of any
who would pay a modest fee. He was
an autosrat who accepted or refused
cases at his pleasure.
He had Just accepted a case. Ii
seemed to him a case that might be
nothing at all or something exceeding
ly big and on the latter possibility he
had gambltd.
The fee offered was, judged by ghis
present standards of prosperity, small ;
but the bizzare facts, coupled with
something in the personality of the
client, had won him over; and he
touched the bell and desired that Mr..
Cakes should be sent in to him.
Elliott Cakes was a young man who
amused and interested Mr.. Snyder
He was so intensely confident. He
had only recently Joined the staff, but
he made very little secret of his in
tention of electrifying and revolution
izing the methods Of the agency.

SOLDIERS serving United States in

This in the information received in
a cable dispatch by the Army Recruit
ing News Service from a member in

News of the establishment of a
permanent rate of $50 per month for
privates has just reached the forces
In Germany and has caused much JOY
and shaking of feet. Doughboys
marks for one dollar In American
money, and this in considerably more
than some of the highest officials in
the German kingdom receive.
For a time, it was feared that the
pay would revert to the pre-war pay
of SIS a month for the privates and
proportionate decreases in all other
grades, but the message sent by the
val department to the A. f. F. on the

the new pay was permanent.

turned officer, "a buck, whose yearly
pay is now at the rate of $4,000

The apportionment vas made on a

ADVOCATES ADJUSTMENT OF
JURIES, TRIAL BY Q JUDGES

Harold Hale says editorially in his
Elko Independent: The only solution
of the jury system is its adjustment
and the substitution of trial by
judges, at least three in number.
Full realization is accorded the fact
that the system of trial by jury had
its inception in the Constitution, but
that document can be amended, and
the ooner that it is done in this in
stance the better. Experience with
the courts of this country in cases
tried by judges without juries has
taught the average lawyer that a
dripping handkerchief gets nowhere
in the eyes of he who makes his liv-
ing by following the cold steel rules
of law. Law never decided a criminal
case in the ultimate. Humanitarian
ism is the technique that dictates the
final decision. Not that the judges
are not humanitarians. but they are
not humanitarians to the exclusion of
all reason. With a well balanced
judge the law decides the conflict be-
tween mercy and justice.

The committee decided to make no

A communication will be sent to all
