| LONDON, July 1 tFriday) The Lon
don Times says report is current
that the Lord High Chancellor, Lord
Birkenhead. has expressed the opinion
that, failing formal denunciation OF
the Anglo-J Japanese treaty, which
would necessitate giving years no.
tice. the treaty automatically con-
tinues. Moreover, from a judicial
viewpoint, it is held that the Anglo
Japanese notification to the League of
Nations of the proposed modification
of the treaty does not constitute
formal denunciation.
Thus" adds the Times, 1T would
seem that the Premiers may be relieved
from the duty of solving the most diff
cult problem at the present moment
since in the course OF a year conversa-
tions and correspondence. which might
lead to a conference or the Powers, SO
generally desired. could be conducted
without undue haste"
The Times expresses the hope that the
opinion attributed to the Lord Chancel-
lor is a true interprets ton, because it
would give ample time to debate the
question and agree upon the large prob
lens Involved 1t adds:
"To the lay mind it would appear that
II the treaty is to continue alive for a
year after its denunciatioh. still more
should it remain in force for a year
after expiry.'
The Times voices a strong protest
against the secrecy surrounding the
doninions conference and says; mo
camarilla of reactionaries plotting dark
ly against the liberties of people has
guarded the secrecy OF its proceedings
more jealousy than the convinced disci-
pies of open diplomacy and democratic
rights now assembled in Downing
street"
The paper declares that the views
wslicf have been expressed by the Pre-
miers In favor of an International con-
ference on Pacific questions and dis.
armament are. rather, views which
should be proclaimed from the house

Decision Not Final.

1t was stated at the Foreign once
this evening it was unlikely that the
Cabinet had decided upon the renewal
of the Anglo-Japanese pact. but that
possibly IL had made some recommended
tions to be placed before the Imperial
Conference. 1t was admitted the Cab
met this morning had discussed the
Anglo-Japanese treaty.
The Conference Of Imperial Premiers
devoted another day to the Anglo-Japan-
ese treaty. but at the close of the meet
ing II was stated that no decision had
been reached regarding renewal of the
treaty or otherwise.
Premier Massey of New Zealand con-
cluded his speech in support of, renewal
OF the alliance. He was followed by the
Indian delegate, the Maharajah of Kutcl1,
who submitted the Indian viewpoint that
there was no objection on India's part to
the renewal of the treaty. with the ex-
ception of the clauses providing that in
case of India being attacked Japan
should come 10 India's assistance.
This view caused some surprise. but

CHAPTER III

Dan Falling was really not badly
hurt. The quick, flashing blows had
not done more than severely bruise
the flesh Of his face; and the mists OF
Inconsistencies that had been falling
over him were more nearly the result
of his own tremendous physical ex-
ertion. Now these mists were rising.
"Go-go away" the girl was COM
manding. II think you've killed him..
Dan opened his eyes to find her
kneeling close beside him. but still
covering Cranston with her pistol. Her
hand was resting on his bruised cheek.
He couldn't have believed that a hui
man face could be as white. while life
still remained. as hers was then. Al
the lovely tints that had been such 8
delight to him. the play OF soft reds
and browns, had faded as an after
glow fades on the snow.

Cranston. He was standing easily at
a distance of dozen feet; and except
for the faintest tremble all over his
body, muscular reaction from the
violence of his passion, he had entire
ly regained his self-composure. This
was quite characteristic of the noun
tain men. They share with the beasts
a passion Of living that is wholly I'M
known on the plains; but yet they have
a certain quality Of imperturbability

to the native-bOrn mountaineers. No

can doubt this fact. They seem to
have acquired from the silence and
the SHOWS an impregnation of that
eternal calm and imperturbability that
is the wilderness itself. Cranston
wasn't in the least afraid. Fear is
usually matter Of uncertainty, and
he knew exactly where he stood.
It is extremely doubtful if a plains
man would have possessed this knowl-
edge. But plainsman has not the
knowledge of life itself that the noun

posure. The mountaineer knows life
in its simple phases with little tradi-
ton or convention to blur the vision.
Death Is very intimate acquaintance
that may be met in any snowdrift, on
any rocky trail; and these conditions
are very deadly to any delusions that
he has in regard to himself. He &C
quires an ability to see just where he
stands, and of course that means self
possession. This quality had something
| to do with the remarkable record thai

nificent warrior from Tennessee, made
in the late war.
