the police find out who owns that garage
and watch all the cars that go in and out"
Now, the garage in the Rue Desre-
naudes belonged to one of the score of
business concerns in which the Baron de
Reith de Baillencourt was interested. A
hurried inquiry showed that such car
had been driven by Genser from the ga
rage, two days previously, down to the
magnificent seventeenth century chateau
which the Baron owned at Couvicourt,
near Gallon, in the Eure department
1t is not believed that the Baron would
have permitted the theft of the car had
he known it belonged to Mile. Parisys,
for he was an intense adt1irer of the
stage. He was constantly seen in the
society of one of the most beautiful
young actresses of the day. He had show
cred wealth upon her and given her a
car much finer than the one stolen. The
taking of this car was fatal indiscretion
of Genser.
On the morning of Wednesday, Sep
tember 9th, Genser was arrested just as
he had left the Baron's Paris house and
had turned the corner, and was, therefore,
out of sight of the house. A moment
later two gentlemen in morning coats
and top hats walked into the Baron's
sumptuous hallway, with its ancient
Greek marbles and its Gobelins tapestries,
and told the butler they wished to see his
master.
The butler, venerable specimen of
the French major domo, with silvery
white hair and side whiskers, motioned to
a great red morocco leather book which
stood on silver credence and asked the
visitors to put down their names and ad-
dresses, and that perhaps the Baron might
be able to give them an appointment next
week. The visitors calmly insisted. that
they wanted to see the Baron at once.
THAT is quite impossible" was the re-
ply, "the Baron never receives strangers
without at least as hours notice"
Look well at that" the taller of the
two visitors--M. Faralicq-said as he un-
buttoned his morning coat and showed the
broad tricolor sash which he wears by
right as police magistrate of the French
Republic. The butler looked shocked
his last master was the Prince de Sagan,
and such visitors never were seen there
but he obeyed the order and ushered the
two police officers into the room where
the Baron was seated at his desk exam
ining, through a magnifying glass, some
old and rather licentious eighteenth CEN
tury prints which had been sent around by
his bookseller.
"How dare you enter my presence un-
announced?" exclaimed the Baron, with
indignation.

through the arrest of the Baron de Rcith
de BaillCncourt, the Paris public knows
that the master criminal is a genuine
character.
The famous Baron de Reith, it must be
said, had been looked upon with a sus-
picious eye by the French, the English and
the Belgian police for many years. In
number of cases the evidence seemed to
point quite strongly in his direction, but
always at the last minute the detectives
in charge of the Investigations found that

REPUBLICANS WILL:
RENEW ATTACK ON
WOODROW WILSON
Campaign Speakers Accept
Challenge on Government
Cost and Foreign Policy.
By CLAYTON WHITEHALL
United Ne4cs Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Repub-
lican campaign speakers, will devote
themselves between now and election,
tc accepting the challenge of the
Dmocrats that the administration
party is responsible for high living
costs and for the extravagant man
agement Of government.
Furthermore, they are raising the
issue Of foreign relations which the
Democrats are ~studiously avoiding,
and they are reviving the attack on
ex-President Wilson particularly re-
garding the treaty of Versailles.
The tariff, according to the Re
publicans, "Gives employment and
prosperity to millions of men and
women engaged in manufactures,
agriculture and mining, at the high
est compensation in the world. and
gives them also the returns with
which to buy from each other. There
is no truth in the free trade argu-
nent that the enactment of a pro-
tective tariff will invite retaliation by
other nations. 1t is untrue because
practically every other nation has
already enacted a protective tariff
which levies duties against the United
States
No Answer to Tariff
No attempt is made to answer the
detailed figures Of the Democrats to
show how the Observation-Disclosures
tariff increases the cost of staple ar
ticles. Therefore, it would seem, the
Republican campaign, so far as tariff
is concerned. will be largely a defense
of the theory of protection.
In contrast with the policy of
waste. extravaganza and graft" of
the Wilson Administration tie Re
publicans point out that the first reg
ular session Of the present Republican
Congress appropriated SO. 745 COO. 900,
or 50, 710. 900 900 less for the years
maintenance of the Government than
was appropriated by the last Demo-
cratic Congress.
1t is further pointed out that
through the operation Of the executive
budget system-under which annual
expenditures are said to have been
reduced a billion dollars-it has been
possible to reduce taxes a billion dol
lars a year. and despite shrinking
revenues, to reduce the national debt
by a billion dollars during a single
year, and since the Republican CON
troll Of Congress came in 1913. the
public debt has been reduced by three
billions"

The Two Tom Watsons

wv nth the going of Tom Watson of Georgia not one, but two
w men-an ordinary man and a ~genius-took passage to
the beyond.
To most of US Tom Watson was only a United States Senator,
iconoclast, politician; passionate, hair-trggered opponent of all
"regulars, :" in politics and out; a man of violent speech and threat
ening gesture, sOcialistically inclined and ''agin'' most all that's
orthodox.
That, indeed, was one Tom Watson.
The other was the scholar, the Iitterateur, author of 'fThe
Story of France and 'tThe Life Of Napoleon'-two wonderful
books-and other works. He was one of the very first men of Eng
lsh letters to take bone-dry history and make it sing; a writer
who could take sleep-producng fact and weave it into a history
as fascinating as a novel and as difficult to lay aside in the small
hours of the morning.
Watson, the writer, will go down in history. Watson, the
statesman, will soon be forgotten.
But, after all, Watson's fling at politics was but a minor
incident in an artists life, and his hot shots at conventional people
and things but the froth of his real soul.

What Makes an Indian?

M HY is an Indian?
w Two American hunters just back from the Cassiars,
the range of mountains that form a fence between British Columbia
and Alaska, discovered a day out on the march through this re-
gion inhabited almost solely by bears, wolves, mountain lions and
caribou, that they had forgotten matches.
Johnny Quash, aged II, was thereupOn sent back by his In
dian uncle, one of the guides, to buy a few boxes and trail back
after the party. The hunters proceeded over a trackless country,
up mountains and down, through forest and muskeg and winding
valleys.
At midnight on the third day, Johnny, IL, hatess, unarmed
and alone, walked into camp with the matches. Before daylight
he started back for home, alone.
Reckon that's what makes an Indian.

Oct. 2.-"France escaped murder. She
will not now commit suicide"
In this epigram Georges Clemen'
ceau, Frances grand old ma and
one Of the few really great men now
living, summed up for me French his
tory since 1914.
He meant, of course. that his he
loved country had escaped the muir
der Germany planned for her, and
that if France still maintained an ade-
quate army. it was because to disarrn
at present would be to invite German
revenge-in other words, suicide for
France.
France is not imperialist, not mill
tarist," he said. France is not a ma
ton of fools and only fools would
want to burden their country with
militarism. I am going to America in
November to tell America so.

The old man smiled grimly.
