CHAPTER X-Continued.
Whs arena was immense but exb

Whe arena was immense but eB eremely uneven and unkempt. Around 1t the WarhOOns had piled building stone from some of the ruined edficeS of the ancient city to prevent tho nj mals and the captiveS from escaping into the audience, and at each end had been constructed cages to hold them until their turns came to meet some horrible death upon the arena.
 Kantos Kan and I were confined to- gether in one of the cages. In the others were wild calOts, thoats. mad Zitidars, green warriors and women of other hordes, and many strange and ferociOus wild beasts of BarsOOm. which had never before seen.
 Shortly after we had been caged the amphitheater began to fill and within an hour every available part of the seating space was occupied. Oak KOva, with his jeds and chieftains. sat at the center of one side of the arena upon a large raised platform.
 At a signal from Oak Kova the doors of two cages were thrown open and a dozen green Martian females were driven to the center of the arena, Each was given a dagger and then, al the far end a pack of twelve calots. OF wild dogs, were loosed upon them.
 As these brutes, growing and foam ing, rushed upon the almost defense less women I turned my head that might not see the hOrrid sight. The yells and laughter of the green horde bore witness to the excellent quality of the sport and when I turned back to the arena, as Kantos Kan told me 1t was over, I saw three victorious calots, snarling and growing over the bodies of their prey. The women had given a good account of themselves.
 Next a mad zitidar was looSed among the remaining dogs, and so 1t went throughout the long, hot, hor- rible day.
 During the day was pitted against first men and then beasts but as I was

 "I do not mean anything like that" said the sealingwax.
 Ut is an old expression" the sealing wax continued, "and 1t means that people will be true and loyal to each other in good weather and in bad weather"
 "Gracious me-" said the match. Do you mean to tell me, sealing-wax, that there are some people who only care for their friends when the sun shines or perhaps when the day is without a cloud in the sky?

Paris, Aug. Io.-The French foreign office is perturbed at the report that members of the disarmament delegation, schc- duled to leave in October for the Washington conference, will be allowed to take only a mini mum stock of wines and no spirits.
 The prospect of having to Ge- tcrminc world-shaking qucs- tions without liquid inspiration is appalling to the seasoned diplomats.

It was in 1884 that Raleigh obtained permission , from Queen Elizabeth to plant an English colony in America, and the expeditions which he sent established a little colony , on Roanoke island. There in 1887 was born the first Ameri- can child of English parents. She was named Virginia Dare, after the virgin queen. This col ony, due to England's war with Spain. could not be properly SUD- ported, and after a few years perished. It was not until over , a century later that permanent settlements were made. Daring ] pioneers from Virginia pressed south into the new territory, and these, augmented by a large company of Huguenots from France and a greater number of Germans from the Palatinate, ! founded the first North Carolina town of NeWburn in 171O. By the time of the Revolution the population in North Carolina had increased to such an extent,
 with an influx of ScOtch-Irish
 and Scotch Highlanders who {
 settled chiefly in the western
 counties, that it ranked fourth
 among the original thirteen col
 On1es. Today its population en-
 titles it to twelve electoral votes
 for president. In area it stands
 about half way among the states |

 from the Latin Carolus, mean

OF WESTERN PROJECTS
Senator Borah of Idaho Has Plan to
Help Western People and At
Same Time Assist Those
Out OF Work

Boise, Ida.-Immediat development
of many government irrigation pro-
jects in the West, which will give EN-
ployment to thousands of men now
out of work In various parts of the
country, is the proposal made by
United States Senator w. f. Borah
of Idaho to Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, to solve the unem-
ployment problem that is facing the
United States at the present time. A
copy of the letter of Senator Borah
and the proposal contained therein
has been received in Boise.
Senator Borah points out that, In
addition to furnishing employment to
the unemployed, the construction of
these projects and pushing them to
early completion will supply homes
for many other thousands of people
who have been waiting for years for
the government to finish irrigation
projects
Senator Borah's letter is, in part
as follows:

Position Of United States on Mandates
is Set Forth by Secretary Of State
In Note to Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan

Washington-The position of the
United States on mandates has been
set forth more completely than here
to fore, and especially in reference to
those of class "a" and 'B' in new
note to Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan, and through some of them,
1t Is understood, has been submitted to
the league of nations assembly at Gen
eva for consideration.
Announcement was made at the state
department Tuesday that the note was
dispatched last week, but no intimation
was given as to when it would be made
public. if ut all.
1t is understood that the note was
forwarded after inquiries had been re-
ceived from some powers as to the
American attitude toward the AZ and
"B' mandates for their guidance in
some of the former enemy territory at
the Geneva meeting.
AS early as May u, 1920, the Amer
lean government had taken strong
stand against the setting up of any
special privileges in mandate territory,
especially as involving oil lands of
Mesopotamia and the cable privileges
of zap, the latter claimed as a "C'f
mandate by Japan.
In a note of February 81, Secretary
Colby gave explicit warning that the
approval Of the United States was nee
essary to validate any mandate, a
sanction which he contended had never
been given in the case of zap. In sub
sequent notes by Secretary Hughes
this position was strengthened, the
proposition being laid down that, not
withstanding her refusal to ratify the
Versailles treaty, the United States, as
victor in the war, could not be de-
| prived Of a full and equal voice In the
| disposition Of all former Germantown
ed territories.
! In this most recent note, Secretary
| Hughes is understood to declare for
equality of treatment of all nations and
persons in trade and residence and con-
cesSiOns in all mandate territories, not
restricting the claim to any class such
as Mesopotamia or zap, but applying
1t to the three classes-"A', embracing
those like former Turkish territory
which can be Professionally recognized
as independent; "B", including those
like Central Africa, to be administered
under conditions providing equal op
portunities for trade; and "C'', those
like southwest Africa and the southern
Pacific islands, to be administered a!
the integral portions Of the territor,
OF the mandate country.
