He remembered Lund's exclamation
of, Here. what's thisf'-the question
OF blind man who could not grasp
what was happening-and acquitted
him.
They had deliberately kidnapped him,
shanghaisd him, because they did not
choose TO trust him, because they
thought he might print the story Of
the island treasure beach in his paper
or babble Of It and start q rush to the
new strike OF which he had seen proof
In the gold dust streaming from the
poke.
What were they going to do with
him?
He mlstrusted the doctor. The man
had drugged him. He was a man
whose profession, where the mind was
warped, belittled life. Captain Slmms
had been charged with leaving a blind
man on a broken zoe. Lund was the
type whose passions left him ruthless.
The crew-they would be bound by
shares in the enterprise, a rough lot,
daring much and caring little for any
thing beyond their own narrow hort

He wondered whether anyone had
seen him go aboard the Karluk with
Lund-anyone who would remember
1t and mention the circumstance when
ne was found to he missing. That
might take day or two. At the Of
fee they would wonder why he didn
show up to cover his detail, because
he had been steady in his work. But
they would not suspect foul play at
hrst. He had no immediate family.
And all this time the Karluk would be
thrashing noEh, well out to sea. =
Ralney would be front-page won

for n day OF so more, and that would
be the end OF il.
But they had made him comfortable.
He was not in a smelly forecnstle, but
in bunk In u cabin that must open
off the main room of the schooner.
Why had they treated him with such
considerations He dozed of, for all
his wretchedness, exhausted by his |
effortI to untangle the snarl. When

He sat up In his bunk, fully clothed

Rainey moving, disappeared for an In

do all other Congressmen. In the course of his
article, he also says:

forces which make for moral and industrial
progress parasites, feminists and fanatics, pro-

found here and elsewhere seeking to impose upon
the country their confused, preposterous and IN

What members of Congress do not seem to re-

Which Way?

= GOD people put their trust in the Lord AS
" the Washington conference approaches,
Americans put their trust in Secretary Hughes and
Mr.. Elihu Root. 1t is gradually creeping into
American consciousness that, while disarmament
the original motive it is loaded.
Strangely, it was Senator Borah who lighted the
disarmament fuse. He went no further than this
ono proposition and object. He is the leading op-
ponent of any and every proposition which would
involve this country in European affairs or Euro
pesn problems.
Mr.. Borah is the leading proponent of American
isolation and against any surrender of what is
known as Sovereignty" He would keep the United
States this side of both oceans. Yet disarmament,
which he centered his. insistence with virl-
iy and force peculiar to him, and driving power
which has proved compelling in the Senate reaches
to every corner of this world with interlocking
involvement which heads nowhere but to the league
Of nations, or like association.
Possibly Mr. Hughes would have preferred to
cali the conference to consider only Far East prob
lens and to formulate Far East policy. This
would have been comparatively simple 'agenda,
including not much more, than definite definition
of the open door, established accepted policy
and possibly framed as formal treaty agree
ment. If the Atlantic has become as peaceful as
mill pond, as Jan Smuts and Col. Harvey have
said, and all the menace of future wars is CEN
Pacific another mill pond. -.t-
As consequence, disarmament in this country
and Japan would have followed There would have
been no excuse for great navies and LAND forces
The two countries could have reached mutual
understanding for greatly reduced and land
ornaments, and for hating Notifications But
Senator Borah willed it otherwise and the State
Department has been able to get no further than
to impress the fact that it only be Limitation"
of ornaments and this a consequence of set
tied Far East internationally accepted policy
rather than as having precedence regardless of
other policies. Wis
1t is rather interesting, then, to see where dis
armament, whether temporary or permanent. would
lead. As to Japan and the United States, it
would seem to involve than Far East
or Pacific policy. AS to Great Britain it would
mean assurance of freedom of the for food
and materials under all conditions. France
would need to be made secure from aggression
on land or from German sources, would
Belgium With Italy it would open all the prob
lens of the Near East and the Balkans In fact
disarmament or limitation of arniaments leads
directly to every part of this world, all the in
tricacies OF relations, and to all mperiastic am
bitionss and hostilities. 1t involves all nations
and all governments. 1t would, seem, then to
point directly to some organization including them
all The natural query is how far can it be made
the primary objective OF the conference. or even
be included in the program? -.
