rule Of the people by the people in
the fight against Germany, but the
treaty Of Versailles contains no
phrasing, no principle, now, nor
measure nor even the shadow of one,
which sets up a domination over us,
or takes from US one particle Of our
own sovereign rights as nation decid-
ing its own affairs.
What the treaty does do is to set
up a league Of nations according to
American ideas-American ideas al
most excusively--for the sold pur-
pose of keep the world out Of war.
That league has nothing to do with
us except in the matter Of going to
war. and it operates, not i@r wars
but against wars. Our sovereign
rights are not infringed upon. not al
tered not affected. They stand in
violate, as safe as the rocks of our
majestic mountains. and as clearly
cut into the mind of every free Amer
lean.
The substitutes for Article Ten

ANOTHER PROSPERITY SIGN.

From Atlanta Constitution:
The Commerce (Ga,) Observer, com
menting on the need Of greater hOus-
ing accommodations even in Georgia
towns of 1000 populations or more,
indorses the community movement for
apartment houses in Commerce and
other progressive rural towns
It has been objected by the pro
verbal "Old Inhabitant' that the
apartment house "has no business in
the old hometown" long familiar as
il has been with the little white cot
tage with the flower garden facing the
street, and the morning glory vines
climbing the front porch pillars; and
that's all right as far as it goes, and
home-like, and sweet as Loves young
dream;" but nobody is dreaming life
away now in the old hometown
There's an air of brisk business
about it, and it is growing so that it's
getting crowded for room; and if it
scatter the little dreamcottages
around which would be at high cost
now-it will soon have to climb the
/ first fence and get lost in the woods!
"The old hometown is doing busi
ness with the city now on an aston
ishingly big scale; it has banks and
office buildings; fine churches and
schoolhouses, and its old-time weekly
paper has made possible and proiita
Bile a bright progressive daily.
.Aad many people from the, cities
are moving into the smaller, hustling
towns, where they would find the
apartment house a most attractive
proposition.
1t has come to be a necessity, as
the Commerce paper says, and the
community movement for it indicates
progressiveness and prosperity.

OVERHEAD COSTS.

From The Valdosta Times: A new
member has come into the Presi-
dents Cabinet, and in assuming his
portfolio in the Agricultural Depart
mcnt Mr. Edwin T. Meredith, the
.Lcwa farm paper editor, has eXpound
ed some very good philosophy to the
effect that business men must look
a. the operation of their establish
ments, no matter in what line they
hay engaged. and see that no useless
employc is retained to add to the
POST of distributing what the farmer
now produces,
Mr.. Meredith starts well, and if he
continues he may prune down the
useless employees" of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and of which
n is the head. EIe is likely, if he in
vestigates, to find that the common
talk in Washington that there are
10000 too many Government clerks
in the Capital, is an entirely conser-
vative estimate. and it would be very
strange if some of these were not
loafing in his Department. Thousands
of war workers have become mere
parasites upon the Government and
attempts to get rid of them usually
result in their transfer from one
branch of the public business TO
another
Overhead costs in distributing what
the farmer now produces" might
likely be cut in the matter OF tran
sportation itself, since General w. w.
Atterbury, who operated the Amer
lean railroads in France put his fin

in the Pennsylvania shops, when he
told the employees that prior to our
entrance into the war you were on

Now OF all this long speech Um-
slopogaas understood nothing, so
answered for him. briefly enough,
but to the point, for there dashed
into my mind all Ayesha's yarn
about an axe.
"A certain axe!" cried. AYE, a
certain axe! Well. look at that
which is held by the Black One, the
captain who is named Slaughterer,
the ancient axe whose title is Chief
tainess, because II 30 she wills, she
takes the lives OF all. Look at 1t
well, Rezu. Giant and Wizard, and
say whether II is not that which
your forefather lost, that which is
destined to bring you to your
DOOM"
Thus spoke, very loudly that all
might hear, slowly also, pausing be-
tween each word because l wished
to give time for the light to
strengthen, seeing as did that the
rays of the rising sun struck upon
the face OF the giant, whereas the
eyes of Umslopogaas were less
dazzled by 1t.
AS he stared / saw his hideous
face change and that on 1t for the
first time gathered look of some
thing resembling fear.
For here l should say that as
though by common consent the
battle had been stayed; we no
longer attacked and the enemy no
longer ran.
For quite a while Rezu went on
staring. Then he said aloud as If
he were thinking to himself.
at is like, very like. The horn
haft Is the same; the pointed gouge
is the same; the blade shaped like
the young moon is the same. AL
most could think that before me
shook the ancient holy axe. Nay,
the gods have taken that back long
ago and this is but a trick Of tie
witch, Lulala of the Caves"
Thus he spoke, but still for mo-
ment hesitated.
"Umslopogaas," said in the deep
silence that followed, hear me-"
Il hear you" he answered, with
out turning his head or moving his
arms. "What counsel, Watcher-by-
Night?"
"This, Slaughterer: Strike not
at that mans face or breast, for
there he is protected by witchcraft
or by armor. Get behind him and
strike at his back. Do you under
stand?"
NAY, Macumazahn, understand
not. Yet will do your bidding, be-
ause you are wiser than and utter
no silly words. Now be still"

with a dull thud full upon Rezu's
head
He shook, but no more. Evident.
ly the razor edge Of Inkosikaas had
failed to pierce. There was sound
as though a hollow tree had been
smitten and some strands of the
long beard, shorn off, fell to the
ground, but that was all.
"Tagati (bewitched)," cried the
Zulu. THAT stroke should have cut
him in two!" While thought to my.
self that this man knew how to

parts. I must find the door, / must

So he spoke and with springing
movements tried TO get past Rezu,
first to the right AMI then to the
left, all the while keeping out of
reach. But ReZu ever turned and
faced him, as he did so retreating
step by step down the slope of the
little hillsand striking whenever he
found a chance, but without avail,
for always Umslopogaas was beyond
his reach.
Also the sunlight, which now
grew strong, dazzled him, or so /
thought. Moreover he seemed to

tire somewhat or so thought also.
At any rate he determined to make
an end OF the play, for with swift
motion he threw away his shield
and grasping the iron handle Of his
axe with both hands, charged the
Zulu like bull. Umslopogaas leapt
back out of reach. Then suddenly
he turned and ran up the rise. Yes,
Bulalio the Slaughterer ran!
A roar of mockery went up from
the sun-worshippers behind, while
our Amahagger laughed and Goroko
and the two Zulus looked aston
ished and ashamed. Only / read
his mind Alright and wondered what
guile he had conceived.
He ran, and Rezu ran after him,
but never could he catch the swift.
est-footed man in Zululand. To and
fro he followed him, for Umslopo-
COOS was taking a zig-zag path tow
ard the crest of the slope, till at
length ReZu stopped, -breathless.
But Umslopogaas still ran another
twenty yards or so, until he reached
the top of the slope, and there halt
ed and wheeled round.
For ten seconds or more he stood,
drawing his breath in great gasps,
and looking at his face, saw that
1t had become the face of a wolf.
His lips were drawn up in terrible
grin, showing the white teeth be-
tween; his cheeks seemed to have
fallen In and his eyes glared, while

Then Umslopogaas threw the axe
into the air and caught II as 1t fell.
and as he did so began to chant his
own praises, Zulu fashion.
"ohol" he said. Il am the child
OF the Lion, the Black-maned Lion
whose claws never loosened OF their
prey. I am the Wolf-king, he who
hunted with the wolves upon the
Witch-mountain with my brother,

run on!" shouted the specta-
tors. run back to the Kor, black
dog"
He knew that they were hooking
him, but he took no heed, only bent
down and rubbed his sweating hand
in the grit of the dry earth. Then
he Strengthened himself and
charged down on ReZu.
/, Allan Quatermain, have seen
many things in battle, but never
before or since did see aught like
to this charge. 1t was swift as
that of lioness. so swift that the
Zulu's feet scarcely seemed to
touch the ground. On he sped like
a thrown spear, till, when within
about a dozen feet of ReZu who
stood staring at him, he bent his
frame almost double and leapt into
the air.
Oh! what leap was that. Surely
he must have learned 1t from the
lion, or the spring bucks. High he
rose and now / saw his purpose;
it was to clear the tall shape of
Rezu. Aye, and he cleared him
with a foot to spare, and as he
passed above, smote downwards
with the axe so that the blow fell
upon the back of Rezu's head.
Moreover 1t went home this time,
for saw the red blood stream and
ReZu fell forward on his face.
Umslopogaas landed far beyond
him, ran a little way because he
