he was striking and stabbing, that 9TH
ers were striking and stabbing at him,
that men crowded and breathed and
pressed and swore and grunted around
him. that the fig~hting-room was no
better than It might have been. but
was rapidly improving. Then the CORY
fog lifted, and Doctor Pacheco had
Don Juan by the hand they stood to-
gether in the arsenal entrance, and
the little Doctor was explaining to the
war-mad Don Juan that all was over
In 80 far as the arsenal vas con
cerned-the survivors of the garrison
having surrendered-that now, having
the opportunity. he, Doctor Pacheco,
desired to thank Don Juan Cafetero
for his life. Don Juan looked at him
amazedly, for he hadn't the slightest
idea what the Doctor was talking
about. He spat, gazed around at the
litter Of corpses on the arsenal lawn,
and nodded his red head approvingly.
In an incredibly short space Of
time the news that the arsenal had
been captured and that Sarros was
besieged In the palace spread through
the city. The sight Of the red BAN
ner of revolution floating over the ar
senal for the first time In fifteen years
brought hundreds of willing recruits to
the rebel ranks, as Ricardo Ruey had

piled with arms and ammunition; by
ten o'clock a battalion had been
formed and sent off, together with the
machine gun company, to connect with
the San Bruno contingent advancing
from the south to turn the flank Of
the government troops, while the
equipping Of an additional battalion
proceeded within the arsenal. AS
fast as the new levieS were armed,
they were hurried Off to REINFORCE the
handful Of white men who had, after
clearing the arsenal, advanced on the
palace and now with machine guns
from the arsenal commanding oil ave-
nues of escape from the trap wherein
Sarros found himself. were calmly
awaiting developments, merely keeping
an eye open for snipers.
Thus the forenoon passed away. BY
one o'clock Don Juan Cafetero-who In
the absence Of close-range fighting had
elected himself ordnance sergeant
passed out the last rifle and ammuni-
ton. He was red with slaughter,
slippery with gun-grease. dripping
with pe%rspiration, and filthy with dust
and dirt. "Begorra," he declared, "a
cowld bottle av beer would go fine
now" Then, recalling his limitations,
he sighed and put. the thought from
him. It revived in him, however, for
the first time since he had left the
steamer, a memory Of John Stuart
Webster, and his promise to the lat
ter to report on the progress Of the
war. So Don Juan sought Doctor

their country and people, said Mr..
Lloyd George. Let me say, he add
ed, we regard a free, prosperous and

discharge the obligations she entered
into, to repair the injuries inflicted by

countries by material damage and in
juries inflicted upon the lives and limos
of their inhabitants. Mr.. Lloyd George
gave figures OF the budget of the Allied
Countries and asked What is there
comparable in the German budget to
this?" He said he believed that when
the German people realized the extent
of the devastation wrought, their attl-
tude would change. An incredible
amount of damages had been done de-
liberate,y, with the view Of destroying
the essential means of production OF
France and Belgium, therefore unless
reparation is made by Germany, it means
the victors will pay the price Of defeat
and the vanQuished reap the fruit OF
victory" He also referred to the killing
of Belgium workmen, the destruction o.
mercantile shipping, the loss of life and
the gripping of multitudes Of youngmen
The casualties he said, represented I
merely a loss to the countries strength
and capacity for wealth production, but
a heavy annual burden on the resources
of the countries in pensions. France
and Great Britain, alone. in this respect,
each bear an annual burden, which is
almost thrice the amount OF the whole
payment now offered by Germany to
meet our claims of reparations fer
damages of all kinds. The loss of Ger
man lives and the destruction Of East
Prussia were trivial, he asserted,
as compared with that inflicted on
France. What Germany offered was
not one fourth the sum required to re-
pair the damage. If Germany came with
a proposal which indicated a sincere de-
sire to discharge its obligations, it
would be considered. Tha Allies were
