Republican leaders Of the Senate

the visit Of Rene Viviani, former

Republican Senators regarding the
Senate's attitude toward 10th the
League of Nations and the Knox reso-
luton can have left no doubt in HIS
mind. they say, as to where the Re
publican leaders of the Senste stand
on them.
Some of the latter openly resent the
obvious efforts of Viviant, as the ac-
credited envoy Of the French gov
ernment to influence the foreign pol.
icy of both the Administration and
the Senate. and pointed references to
his activities will be made by his
Senatorial critics in the Senate in the
near future.
BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
II has been pointed out to viviani
that the Knox proposition Is a "sim-
pie business proposition" entailing
the resumption of American relations
with the German and Austrian gov
ernments through regular diplomatic
channels. as we'll as Of ending the
still existing technical state of war
between the United States and Ger
many and Austria which is seriously
hampering American commercial,
business and financial interests.
Republican leaders declare they are
convinced the Knox measure, as the
nrst step toward re-establishing this
country upon a genuine peace basis,
win have a salutary effect not only
upon this oountry's foreign relations,
but upon its existing domestic condi-
tions.

SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De- posit and Then Comparatively

''The only way for a man regularly to save money, usless he be, one of those individuals possessed of an ex- traordinarily unrelenting character" {" according to Samuel Crowther, writing in System, the Magazine of Business, Ifs for the money to be passed into the savings account before it reaches him that is, to put him in the position, once he has made his resolution, of having to make another resolution to quit saving in order to stop the process.
 "Finally, take the convenience of withdrawal. man will rightly hest- tate about going into any system of saving which locks up his funds for any long period of time. The average worker has no great margin between income and outgo and he has to be pre- pared for rainy day-for birth, for a death, for a long illness. He cannot afford to put measurable part of his funds out of reach. If his money is to go from him for a long time he very naturally will not deed away anything like so much as he would if the money were always available. On the other hand any system of saving in which withdrawals may be easily and secret ly made is faulty. The funds should be available upon short notice, there should be a penalty for withdrawal, which penalty should be large enough to stop withdrawals for frivolous pur- poses and yet not so large as to work anything which savers of injustice on a man who honestly needs the money"

 The man at the window watched the shadow. It seemed to rouse him ito recall fancles that the song had caused to wander far. He glanced about; pulled himself together; made half petulant step toward the door.
 The man in the underRrush stiff fened; slowly rose. noiseless as smoke. The man approaching the door seemed to hesitate; stopped. The other sank down again in the bushes. The head of flowing hair rocked back and forth across the curtains.
 It was a strained moment; a three handed game in the dark; an intense three-angled drama of life-mayhap of more than life, if the honor of a woman is more than that.
 The man hesitating before the door had the next play. What held his hand? The song? Perhaps his plans were not yet ripened to the full. He made another step toward the door; {; stopped; jerked his shoulders up sav- agely; glared about; brought his eyes back to the rocking shadow; swore softly ;s turned and stalked silently away down the path toward Fallen Rock.
