~ ISRAELPS story of Vivian
Grey, like others of his bowels,
deals largely with politics, and
contains character portraits of we'll
known persons of the period
When Vivian Grey reached the age
of five years 1t was discovered that the
treatment of a doting mamma and
'overattentive nurses had spoiled the
child, and it was decided to at he had
better be sent away TO school; when
however, the subject was under dis
cussion, there was a strenuous protest
from Vivian against curls and going to
school
II won't have my hair curl,
mamma; the boys will laugh at me-"
bawled the spoiled youngster, Charles
Appleyard told me SO; his hair aurled,
and the boys called him girl. Papa !!

to schoolI'
But in spite of these protests he was
sent to school, where he stayed some
four years, when it was decided that
he should remain at home for a time
and do his studying there; but he was
later sent Off again, this time to the
school of Mr.. Dallas at Burnsley vicar
age.
The rumor of the arrival of - new
fellow" circulated rapidly through the
inmates of the vicarage, and the fifty
young rascals were preparing to quiz
the newcomer when the seheolraem
door opened and Mfr. Dallas, accom-
panied by Vivian Grey, entered.
"a dandy, by Jovel" whispered che
what a knowing set out" squeaked
a second; Mummy sick" growled a
third; this last exclamation was, how
ever, q scandalous libel, for certainly
no being ever stood in a pedagogue's
presence with more perfect sang-froid,
and with holder front, than did, at
this moment, Vivian Grey.

Few days Vivian was decidedly the
most popular fellow in the school; ''he
was 80 deShing! so devilish good-tem-
pered, so completely up to every

Vivian fiexeloped talents of a lit
erary nature which inspired great adj
mirat&on among his fellow pupils, and
also In the mind of Mr.. Dallas.
But there are other attributes which
WIN win the admiration of school of
real boFs; and this proved to be the
case at Burnsleg vicarage, when, as
so often happens, some OF the boys,
Jealous OF ViviaHss popularity, found,
as they thought, IAN opportunity to
triumph over him. There was trouble
between the followers of Vivian and
those of Maiiet, the head usher; one
OF the latter made an Insulting remark
to Vivian which he pramptly resented
and the battle was on, and Vivian
Grey showed that he could fight as
well as write.
Ftvian's chief characteristic was a
burning ambition: with this he had
great amount Of courage aad self-as-
surance, and besides these attributes,
tact combined with pleasing per
sonal presence and manners.

when Vivian was still very young
man, he made the acquaintance OF the
marques of Carabas. He came TO

UNDER FALLING

man, was slightly injured last
evening about s o'clock when a
three room house under which he
was working In excavating for the
basement fell, crushing him un-
derneath 1t.
The house had been left stand
ing on trestles about ten feet high.
For the past two months men had
been engaged in removing fire clay
from an embankment on which
the house stood and in doing so
they had taken out all of the earth
under the house. Kamadina had
been employed to prepare the
ground under it for the building
Of a foundation of stone. 1t Is be-
lieved that due to the heavy rains
of the past week the ground be-
came soft and the trestles gave
way and permitted the building to
fall. The workman was saved from
instant death by the fact that two
pieces Of timber became crossed
close to his body and prevented
the weight Of the building from
falling upon him. A hole was cut
In the floor of the building from
which he was extricated.
When found he was in a sitting
position with head and chest bent
forward. All the time that he
was under the building he was
able to talk to the men outside
who rushed to his rescue, and d..
rected them where to cut through
the floor to reach him. He was
badly cut about the head and face,
but it Is believed that he suffered
no serious injuries He was taken
to the local hospital for attention.

The government is not "morally

President Harding, to fund the
$763,000,000 the railroad owe the
government for additions and bet

He declared the president must

provides for the funding only of
"the remaining indebtedness of
the railroads, which he calculated
at $263,0O0,000.

"This is the kind OF settlement

turned to private control they owed
the government $1,144,000,000 for
additions and betterments, OF

LARGEST DIRIGIBLE EVER
BUILT WAS BEING TESTED

When the zR-2 started on her
trial flight from Howden Tuesday
she had ON board Commander
Louis II. Maxfield of the United
States navy. who has been desig-
mated by the American navy de-
partment to bring the ZR-2
fro England to the United
states; Brigadier General s. M.
Maitland the British air marshal:
Colonel Campbell. who supervised
the work Of designing the dirigi-
BILE; five other American officers,
seven engineers and four riggers,
in addition to the regular British
crew.
The ZR-2 was the largest dirigi-
BILE ever built, the dimensions be-
ing as follows:
Length COS feet, diameter. IS
feet, capacity 2,700,000 cubic feet,
total lifting capacity SO tons.
The aircraft was operated by six
engines. She was estimated to
have cruising radius of sixty
miles per hour, giving q capacity
to make an aggregate Of 5000
miles of uninterrupted flight. She
had a capacity for officers and
men Of fortytwo men. The gaso-
line supply was 10000 gallons. 1t
was estimated that she would cross
| the Atlantic in seventy-two hours.
The huge aircraft had four gon-
dolas suspended from the France
work. These provided sleeping &C.
commodations for the officers and
crew and an electrical apparatus
| for cooking meals. Her wireless
set was expected to keep the mon
ster craft, in touch with both shores
OF the Atlantic and to have a radius
exceeding $500 miles.
A London dispatch Of Sunday
last quoted the observer as assert
ing that during the first trials of
the ZR-2 tendency Of the giant
dirigible to "hump" developed and
that an inspection revealed the
fact that certain Orders had bent
and that lattice work had buckled
under the strain. Redemial meas
ures were taken. the newspaper
said, including considerable rein
forcement of the frame work along
much Of the airship's length. In
addition to the structural trouble,
| the Observer asserted. the ZR.2
had been handicapped by engine
difficulties.
No Loss to U. 8,
The purchase price Of the ZR.2
was to be $2,000.000. This, 1t IL
assumed, was to become effective
after the air craft had completed
her trials and was delivered to and
accepted by the American authori-
ties. The British builders and the
air service had been careful to
avoid a premature delivery as they
had wished to be assured. that

Dali EIREANN' s
: ANSWER APT To
REFUSE TERMS
az INC Assoelated Pres..l

Dublin, Aug. "a (by the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The belief was ex-
pressed hers tonight that the Dali
Eireann's answer to the proposals
OF Premier Lloyd George for peace
in Ireland will be a refusal of the
terms; but that the refusal will be
followed with arguments seeking
to induce Mr.. Lloyd George to con-
tinue the negotiations
This belief was considered to be
substantiated by the fact that two
of the under secretaries from
Dublin Castle, Messrs. Cope and
Mcmahon. talked today with Rob-
ert G. Barton and Eamonn j. Dug
gan, two prominent members of
the Dali Eireann. The conference
lasted seven hours and is thought
to have concerned the continual

PEACE TREATY IS
NOT SIGNED DUE
To MINOR HITCH
American Representative
Asks For Ruling From
Washington and Small
Delay Is Made Necessary

Berlin, Aug. "a (by the Associ-
ated Press) The peace treaty be-
tween the United States and Ger
many was NOT signed today as had
been intended.
The delay in signing resulted
from an unexpected technical point
raised in connection with the for
malities arranged by Ellis Loring
Dresel, the United States commits
sloner, and DR.. Friedrich Rosen,
the German foreign minister, yes
terday. The ceremony of signing
was to have occurred at noon today
at the foreign office, but it was
postponed at the request Of MIR.
Dresel, who asked the privilege Of
querying the Washington govern
ment on the mooted point.
At both the headquarters Of the
American commission and the Ger
man foreign office 1t was said that
the technicality which involved the
delay did not affect the contents or
character of the treaty, as both
governments reached full accord
on the official text some days ago.
German editors had been sum-
moned to the foreign office for a
discussion of the treaty this after
noon, but the conference was post
poned pending receipt by Commits
sioner Dresel Of a reply from Wash
ington.
Although the point which was
referred to Washington is said to
be of minor technical importance,
Commissioner Dresel preferred to
obtain a ruling upon 1t from the
American state department. II this
reply is received early Thursday,
It is probable that duly executed
copies of the treaty. will be ex-
changed that day.
The signing in Vienna today of
the peace treaty between Austria
and the United States was said to
be a mere coincidence with the
date on which the German peace
treaty was to have been signed, as
II was declared that neither Ger
man nor American officials here
had been informed of the signing
of the Austrian treaty.
