Many Thrills in
Eigth Episode of
The Black Secret

Evelyn Firth and Kay Nc
Kay, American secret service
agents, have just descended
from an aeroplane and enter
ed a cabin in the Forest of
Les Errues in their quest of the
Great Secret, when they are
surrounded by German sol
diers. They had been told by
Frederick Vaux, their chief,
that they would be met there
by French soldiers, and merely
accept their peril as another
evidence of Vaux's duplicity.
Mckay knocks the German Of
ficer down when he attempts
tomake love to Evelyn, and the
two are about to be bayoneted
when one side of the cabin is
blown IN by bomb from a
German aviator who believes
the structure houses French
peasants. The Germans are
killed and Evelyn and Mckay
escape into the forest. Pinned
to a tree they find notice in
German, warning German mil
itary officials to take every
means of getting rid of Kay
Mckay and Evelyn Firth, and
also one Alexander Grey, all
of whom the placard says en-
danger Germany's Great Sc
cret." Neither Evelyn nor Nc
Kay know Grey, but assume he
is another agent sent by the
War Department to cover their
tracks in case they fail. The
notice calls attention to the
fact that Grey has been wound
ed in the left hand by a Ger
man rifleman, and a short time
later, Evelyn and Mckay come
upon an armed man drinking
at a spring. They cover him
with their automaties, and see
that his left hand is bandadg-
ed. His credentials show him
to be Alexander Grey of the
American Secret service, and
they accept him as their CONF
panion. He refuses all offers
to have his hand dressed, say
ing it is SC painful he cannot
touch anything with it, but a
few moments later, Evelyn sees
him abstraetedly pick up his
rifle with it, and she immedi-
ately suspects that he is a
German agent who has in some
way obtained the real Grey's
credentials. This suspicion is
confirmed when she detects
him in the act of shooting Nc
Kay from ambush. Evelyn fir
es and Mckay clinehes with
the now acknowledged Ger

MAKES APPEAL
 AID CHlLDEN
 IN NEED FOOD

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 (by Associat- ed Press. 1.-The board of Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal church is sending out an appeal to it's 4,500.000 Sunday school members to devote their Christmas offerings this year to sending food, clothing, medicine and other relief to the sui fering children of Europe. An nouncement is made from head quarters in Chicago.
 Bishop John L. Nuelson, member Of the international committee for the, relief of children, who recently returned to this country from Eur ich, Switzerland, says the outlook for the coming winter in the need. fer sections of Europe is dark.
 Those countries before the war could not support their own popula. t1ons but were depending upon large imports of provisions" he said South Russia, which supplied large sections of Europe with grain is not in position to support it's own populations. These countries have no gold to buy grain from Australia or America. They cannot manufac. ture goods for export because they have not enough raw material or coal and they have no credit.
 If you draw line north through the devastated area of Belgium and south through the entire continent and then travel east through Dal matia, Albania. Montenegro, Slo. Vakia, Macedonia, and Greece into Turkey, and then travel north through North Germany, Poland Slovakia, Hungary, Austria. Ru- mania, South Germany and on through North Germany. Poland Lithuania, Letvia and Esthonia into Russia, through Russia to Siberia and south into Asia Minor and Syria. Armenia and Mesopotamia you will find in that vast territory hardly one child in thousand which is not under normal either physically, mentally or morally"
 Bishop Nuelson added that through out all the war-swept and famine stricken sections of Europe the teachers in the schools find that the children are so undernourished that it is a physical impossiblity for many of them to concentrate their attention upon school work for even three hours per day"
