Brousseau tried to fling himself

That's all, / guess said LATE, and
opened the door.
Brousseau dashed through and along
the corridor. Lafe followed him at an
interval; but Brousseau did not wait
for him. He pulled the front door
open and slammed 1t behind him.
When LATE reached It Brousseau was
already dragging his horse, already
harnessed to his sleigh, out of the sta

turned back into the hall. He hesitat-

sibly II was In the stables now. He
rang the bell, nodded to Robitaille,
who opened the door. disregarded his
incomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafe's wish to en-
ter, and went by instinct into the liv-
Ing room at the end Of the hall for the
first time in his life.
He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He knocked more
loudly, and went In without waiting
for any. He discovered the Seigneur

but he did not care. He could hardly
believe his luck. He had wanted
Brousseau there badly, but he had not

Brousseau was the first to speak.
He may have guessed the nature Of
Lafe's errand from Lafe's attitude,
though not its fuilness. He scowIed.
IT'S the man from the MILL" he said
In sneering tone to Monsieur Rosny.
Madeleine raised her eyes and LATE
read in them the same intuition that
was in Brousseau's. and also her chal-
lenge. She was arming to oppose him
in his fight for Hilary, she was prepar-
Ing to fight against all that she held
dearest, for the sake of the swindler
across the room. LATE admired her
courage, but this he had expected.
"My business is with Mr.. Rosny,'

COURT SUSTAINS
APPLE JUICE MEN
Declines to Dismiss Suits Against Dry
Officials-Companies Would Not
Certify Alcoholic Content.

NEW YORK, Aug lS-Federal Judge
Augustus n. Hand yesterday declined to
dismiss suits which challenged decision
of the commissioner general of internal
revenue withholding permits to manufac-
tures preserved sweet cider from, two
companies because they would not GER
ttify to the permanent alcoholic content"
of their SprpductRG.4T 4 ss3sF
The actions were brought by the Hill
dick Apple Juice company. and the Duffy
Mott company against William NJ. VIII
liams, commissioner of internal REVENUE :
John f. Kramer, federal prohibition coms,
missioner, and Charles II. O'Cennor, fed
eral prohibition director for the state of
New York. The defendant officials will
have 20 days in which to file replies to
the suits. In declining to dismiss the
suits Judge Hand said:
although the reason for the decision
of the commissioner general in rejecting
the application and refusing the permits
does not appear, it would seem to be due
to the fact that neither applicant was
willing to insure, the permanent alcoholic
content of his product
The Hildiek Apple Juice company
would not state that the juice of the
apples when first pressed contained less
than one-half of one per cent of alcohol
| by volume. The Duffy Mott company
stated that its preserved sweet cider
would contain, when manufactured and
prepared for the Market less than one
half of one per cent of alcohol. Con-
tinuing, Judge Hand said:
The regulations of the department
| seem to have been complied with by the
applicants in all respects except those in
which they say compliance is impossible.
| The requirements that an applicant can
use only juice from apples that contain a
liquid having less than one half of one
per cent of alcohol by volume, that he so
preserve and encase and seal the juice
that it can never have higher percent
age of alcohol, may or may not after the
facts are known be valid regulation"

Check In North Carolina.

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 1S.-The
North Carolina senate late yesterday
voted to postpone action on ratification
of federal woman suffrage to the next
regular session of the general assem-
bly,. The vote was % to %.
Suffrage supporters were taken off
their feet when Senator Warren, the
opposition floor leader, introduced the
postponement resolution. Unable to
muster their strength, they saw the res
olution postponing ratification until
the session of the legislature in 1921
adopted at the close of day of bitter
debate.
Suffrage leaders attributed the defeat
to "weak kneed" members who want
ed 'tto get another word from their
folks
The Warren resolution makes the
question of ratification an issue in the
general election here in November and
opponents were shouting when they left
the senate chamber that they would

BRITISH USE LESS TOBACCO.
Dealers Perturbed Because of Lowered
CONSUMPTION.

While the consumption of tobacco in the
United States increases by leaps and
bounds, Englishmen are smoking less and
less. British tobacconists are becoming
perturbed over the rapid decline in the
nse of tobacco in all forms In May Brit
sh consumption showed a drop of nearly
100000 pounds, as compared with May,
1919.
sSales,-o6 cigars are stated to have
dropped heavily, and the demand for Gig
arettes also has diminished very consid-
erably.
The Cigar and Tobacco World speaks
of a difference of nearly 100000 pounds
between the tobacco imported in May
last and that imported in May, 1919 The
bonded warehouse account now stands at
the unprecedented figure of 1916, 900, 600
pounds an enormous amount. @'

York mOre- Produce mOre- SuUe nOYe-

But we can't continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities.
 The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity.
 Without railroad expansion-more en- zines, more cars more tracks, more ter minals-there can be little increase in production.
 But this country of ours IS going to keep right on growing-and the railroads must grow with 1t.
 To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities and so increase production - there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads.
 The nations business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow. s9li0 adIHhba7lent d publi1hed byHe eauoociat4Ioa f<5eallusay S61ecutlveA

THE AMERICAN JEWISH World

were never quite satisfied with
their own conversion, with the
salvation that had come to their
own souls, but were animated by
a missionary zeal to make other
converts, and to fish in troubled
waters for that purpose. The
psychology of that is easily u1-
derstood. Moral misery also
seeks company. And to this day
the Jewish convert is eager to
make other converts. In the past
the loyal Jews, who were ever
ready to suffer martyrdom for
their faith, resented that, and
often made it uncomfortable for
the converted soul-catcher, who
in turn revenged himself by libel
ing his former brethren before
the church and state authorities,
and bring untold suffering upon
them. Yes, the story Of, the
Meshunimodim forms a woeful
episode in Israeps tragedy.

The American Hebrew of New

The American Hebrew Of New
York is devoting its issue Of DC
tober 8 to number of appre-
Citations of Jacob H. Schif, his
character, his standing as a
citizen, fnancier, philanthropist,
communal worker and Jew.
Among those who are paying him
their tributes of praise are
Takashi Hara, Premier of Japan;
William McAdoo, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury; Geo. w.
Wickersham, former Attorney
General; Nathaniel Phillips,
President of League of Foreign
Born Citizens Evangeline Booth,

Co; Samuel REQ, President
Pennsylvania R. r.; Robert. S.
Lovett, Chairman Union Pacific
R. R.; William P. Harding, Gov
ernor Federal Reserve Board
Albert w. Smith, Acting. Presi-
dent of Cornell University; Vir-
ginia C. Gildersleeve, Dean of
Barnard College; and a host of
Jewish leaders and communal
workers. When Henry Ford's
hired liar and libeler reads the
golden opinions that Americans,
real Americans, have of Jew,
he is apt to have a fit of apoplexy.
Wonder how his bark will sound
after that?
