is the persistent intimation that

In regard to the Il. W. w. cases"
a distinction Is being made be-
tween those who are Americans and
those who are foreigners. A ma
jority of this class are foreigners.
Toward them the policy is indicat-
ed as involving release from prison
of any foreigner who is willing to
return Immediately to his home
country, at the expense OF himself
or his friends, provided his home
government is willing to receive
him, and upon assurance that he
will never come back to the United

deportation to any other country
than his own.

the Department OF Justice to hnd
some way to handle at least those
in which the offense charged is as
serious as that for which others
have served sentences. 1t appears
to be impossible to prosecute those
cases in which the indictment was
returned purely for violation of the
espionage law. for that law has
been repealed. Many cases. now.

by Sydney Lloyd Wrightson

that is seldom attained by so large

The audience responded gen.

able to present the oratorio again,
as he considered Ii as sacrileglous

BRAND Softening Toward
European Economic Farley

LONDON. Dec 21.--It is reported
on excellent authority that the atti-
tude of Premier BRAND toward an
all-European economic conference
which would embrace Germany and
Russia, is now softening. In fact
the French leader is said to have
agreed with Lloyd George. in prin-
ciple at least, that such gath ering
would not only be highly useful.
but that it is almost necessary IL
the present tangled financial situa-
ton in Europe is to be relieved.
BRAND will accept Lloyd Georges
standpoint. however, only II the
usual CONCESSIONS" which always
accompany the governments recess
sion from any foreign policy to
which the nation has become COM
mitted. are granted by the Brit
ish.
1t is expected, therefore. that be-
fore such a conference can be ar
ranged. BRAND will ask for sitter
RI parations terms than those pro-
posed by England. and an 3cEn.
edgment of all Russia's debts, both
to foreign nations and to indi-
viduals
The conversations thus far held
have developed 10 a game of barter
on both sides. BRAND believes that
the economic situation in the United
States must compel her eventually
to enter an economic conference
such as that suggested, which
would naturally consider such is
sues as Europe's debt to America.
but he admits that public opinion
in the United States is not ytt
for such a move.
No decisions regarding repara-
lions have yet been reached. BRAND
insists that Germany can and must
pay her January and February in
stallments. The two premiers ar
now engaged in seeking a method
of extracting the golden eggs With.
out killing the goose.

land:
IF your brother David could know,

John Moreland bent forward to rest
his chin In his hands. His sober grey
eyes stared thoughtfully toward the
fire.

asked Moreland
"No, but l can get it, Almost any,

For little while Moreland sat there
and looked squarely at Dale, who re-
turned his gaze without a sign of
fltnching. The hillman was trying to
find a motive.
"How comes 1t at you, who amt

The question demanded lraight-

there was but one way In which he
could give satisfactory explanation,
and that that was by telling the truth
but not the whole truth, as he
surmised 1t, for then his efforts would
go for naught.
Moreland was speaking again, and
his eyes were brighter now.

arose and dressed himself, and went
out by way of the door beside the
huge stone-and-clay chimney.
The mountain air was bracing. Dale
.nrew out his chest and started eager
ly for a walk.
The road led past the cabin of
Grandpap Moreland. When Dale was
directly In front Of the log house. he
saw the aged mountaineer standing on

step at the narrow porch; Grandpap
Moreland was helping a gray cat down
from the roof.

AFTER breakfasting with John More

from his host, and set out alone for
the little river.
Ihere were many shoals and rapids.
and he went almost half a mile before
ne round place to his liking. 1t was
beautiful spot. Above, the water
poured between two great boulders
with gentle roar; below, 1t Swallowed
out over round stones. Overhead
lowered tall white sycamores.
Not until he had put a minnow ,n
the hook and cast it out did he see
that he was not alone at the pool. On
the other side. less than sixty feet
away, Babe Littleford sat on stone
the size Of small barrel; she held
cane fishing-rod in her hands, and
her bare feet were in the water to her
ankles. She was looking squarely to-
ward Dale, and there was something
akin to reproachful anger In her long
brown eyes.
Good morning!" called Dale, lifting
his hat.
There was no reply. There was not
even a change of couhtenance. Again
Dale called his friendly greeting, and
again there was no reply. 1t piqued
