In response to what I believe to

In response to what / believe to
be the impulse of sympathy and opin-
ion throughout the United States, l
earnestly suggest that the congress
authorize the treasury of the United
States to make TO the struggling gov
ernment Of Armenia such loan as
was made to several of the allied
governments during the war; and 1
would also suggest that it would be
desirable to provide in the legisla-
tion itself that the expenditure of the
money thus loaned Should be under
the supervision Of commission, or,
at least, a commissioner from the
United States. in order that revolt
tionary tendencies within Armenia
itself might not be afforded by the
loan further tempting opportunity.
Allow me to call your attention to
the fact that the people Of the Phil
ippine islands have succeeded IN
maintaining stable government
since the last action Of the congress
in their behalf, and have thus full
filled the condition set by the con-
gress as precedent to considera-
ton of granting independence to- the
islands. I respectfully submit that
this condition precedent having been
fulfilled, it is now our liberty and
our duty to keep our promise to the
people Of those islands by granting
them the independence which they SO
honorably covet.

conceded the strength Of those two
deterrents she could not escape from
an intultive belief that there was

M'sungo Strengthened with a long
quivering sigh. ct is well, he said In
dialect. 1--WE win CO." The three
wizened men nodded their heads many
times and grunted. With no further

slapped breakfast on the table and
then stood on one foot, then on the
other in impotence. On the faces Of
all was the same half-smile, the same
look of suppressed but mighty anticl-
patton.
M'sungo ate a few mouthfuls but
they seemed to choke him. He pushed
back his plate, stuffed his pipe full
and lit it. His eyes played over An.
drea's face and fired hers with their
own brllllance. When he spoke every
word thrilled her as though this won.
derful morning were surcharged with
an emotional current sensitive TO
every sound and movement.
"Andrea Pellor," he said with a hap.
by twinkle Of mock solemnity in his
glance, 'you are about to be initiated
into the mysteries of the major guild
Of many centuries, the closest cOrp0-
ration Of sport in the world; in three
words, the society Of elephant hunters.
You will probably witness death and
hope and pray it will be the death Of
the hunted, but for the comfort Of
your soft heart let me ten you that to
day we go forth not to slaughter but
to battle"
He turned his eyes from her face
and continued in a more serious
strain: "The hunting of elephant is q
science. 1t is crescendo of delicate
" balanced factors that starts from
two distant points and beginning on a
cool foundation of mutual respect
passes upward through stages of in.
telligence against intelligence, caution
for caution, perseverance on the heels
of endurance, until it meets on the
high plane of naked courage and
sweeps to its tragic climax of white.
hot battle and DEATH"
His eyes came back to hers frankly.
Like all the great sciences" he con.
tinued, ut has used the lives of val,
liant men for stepping-stones so that
we who go out today are backed by
the age-long sacrifice of a noble com.
pany. Looking back only to the days
of black powder and the four-bore
rifle we are mere pygmies, but pyg.
mics carried high on the crest Of an
ancient tradition. It's because we
have an accumulation of knowledge to
lean upon that I'm willing to take you
with me today If you'll promise to sur
render yourself to me, to do just ex.
actly what l tell you and no more and
no less"
Eyes wide and intent, cheeks flushed
and lips parted, Andrea was too ex,
cited to speak. She threw out both
hands toward him in a gesture OF
abandon and with an imploring gravity
that made her look as though she were
giving herself into his keeping not for
day but for all time.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1920-02-13

pleading in the tone of her voice made
him turn boldly to the personal. after
all, and however much we may jeer at
1t, the ultimate measure of sincerity.
II WILL" he said. "If ever I'm bent on
plundering the heart Of a woman, I'll
travel the highroad Of surrender In
the company of ravage and love. I'll
give and stlll give and with each CIV
ing win grow the heaped mountain of
my demands. You see 1t, don't you?
That's justifable plumber.
Andrea's cheeks flushed, her eyes
were dreamy with new thoughts and
old emotions.
While the supply Of the vast larder
and the supervision Of the fiber camp
formed the major part Of Msungo's
untiring industry they were by no
means the total of his affairs. Watch
ing him, Andrea soon learned why he
never lunched. He hadn't the time !;
too many things pressed to his atten-
ton. He was a governor on no mean
scale and during the midday rest hour
he would pass from group to group
settling all those disputes which could
be determined without recourse to
legal argument. In this manner he
slfted to q minimum the cases to come
before the solemn conclave Of chiefs.
On the first occasion that Andrea
witnessed this tribal ceremony which
occurred monthly at certain stage Of
the moon, she began by feeling huffed
but, lacking an audience for her mood,
soon gave 1t up for one of scornful
amusement which, in turn, surrendered
to an interest that almost amounted to
awe. The day in question began with
the curt information from Msungo,
who appeared carefully groomed and,
for the first time in her experience,
dressed In punctilious multi. that she
would have to amuse herself for
twelve hours without his aid. Mysti-
fed, she awaited developments, and
they came-rapidly.
Under the great acacia was placed
a table and behind 1t a camp armchair.

FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1920

The amendment to raise the salaries of mem
bers of the legislature was defeated by large
majority just as it was when offered to the peo-
pie for ratification some years ago. Northern
Wisconsin generally was in favor of it while the
rural districts of the lower part of the state, the
part that would have felt the burden least, pre-
ferred to keep the pay at the old rate which pre-
vents any but wealthy men, or those who have no
objection to leading a life of obscurity and rid-
cuIe from representing their district in the legis-
ture. The majority have spoken but it doesn't
reflect very favorably upon the caiber of men it
desires and will continue to get for its most i'm
portant positions in its right of franchise It
most of the voters were not also violent oppo-
nents ofwoman suffrage on the ground that wom
en- were not capable of voting ihtelligently we'd
