Federal prohibition was perpctrated

rance and Justice
The Campaign of Misrepresentation - Calumniate
Calumniate; Some of 1t Will Stick

To the Editor Of he Tribune
Sir: Prophets arc not usually popu-
lar. II France, powerless. were at the
present time pleading merely for itself,
the world might perhaps tire Of In
sistent request. But France. powerful,
still strung to high tension Of interna-
tionsl protection. is prophetically en-
horting. 1t points to a repeated past
1t shows the still gaping wounds Of al
most assassinated humanity. 1t warns
of the causes and the results Of prac-
tically bankrupt world. And it calls
attention anew to the same sounds, the
same secret preparations, the same un-
repentsnt spirit, the Same symbols Of
things to come, the same deceit and
dishonOr. that history ha. repeatedly
taught that France had gauged aright,
up to the last great conAaEration.
Yet what do We find? Renewed and
subtle insinuations that France is un-
derrnining peace efforts. Charges from
our own midst that France is imperial
istic. Ramihed propaganda. that. in
more than one country, is playing the
game Of the recrudescent Teuton At
tempts to force the hand of France, to
undermine it's influence, to misrepre-
sent It's case, to turn France into an
obstacle maker and to indirectly
threaten it with insolation if il does
not accept infrsctions Of the Treaty of
Versailles. and if it does not yield to
complete reversals Of pledged policies
repeatedly expounded, reatfirmed and
rcannounced by the Allies.
Some propositions are simple ones.
And Germany sees them. It France
can be weakened to point Of partial
or practical disarmament the way for
her enemies in even near future is
easy. The world will pay the penalty,
ms it has paid it and is paying it for
disregard Of the previous warnings Of
France.
But in the world crisis of today a
fe" points stand out. At the Washing
ton conference France is said to have
lacked proper Interpretation. both lit
eral and agurative. French publicity
was organized neither sufficiently in
itself nor in its need of stemming the
lhsldlous plans to place France in the
class Of obstructionists.
Again, TO those who have watched
press reports for months, can there be
any doubt of the constant effort made
by whom? Under what influence :?
For what purposes? Through what
channels-to have France scaperoat
and to render .nugatorv lis defense of
its position?
Consider for moment that the
country press at large takes much Of
Its point of view from the metropoljtan
dailies. The local newspaper must
trust the view of the papers with men
on the ground, with splendid forejrn
ana domestic news services. with CON
facts with international affairs d.
rectty. Does any one wonder that The
spirit Of the nation, brought with
enormous difficulty during the war to
acceptance and approval OF the French
point Of view, should now be turned
by the incessant and insidious attack
upon France
1t Is, therefore. refreshing to find in
the editorial, THE Genoa Warninc"

Rainey.
"In the little room aft O. the galley.
Well look there first. Come on"
The strong room of the Karluk was
a narrow compartment, heavily par
titiOned off from the galley and the
corridor. There was a lamp there,
and Rainey lit 1t while Lund closed
the door behind them. The magazine
was quite empty.

Lund. "Prepared for show down, II

II guess he was Honest Simms,
after ALL said Lund at last. THE
gal blames me for the morphine, but
Carlsen never meant him to live. She'll
see that after a bit, mebbe."
Rainey glanced at him curiously. He
was getting fresh lights on Lund.
Then the girl appeared, pale, COM
posed, coming straight up to Lund,
who halted his stride at sight Of her.
"Will you change the course, Mr..
Lund?" she said. Father spoke once
more. After you left. He does not
want to go on to Unalaska. He said

in repression Of her feelings to be

She turned and looked over the rail,
struggling to wink back her tears.
Rainey saw the giants glance sweep
over her. full Of admiration.
..As you wish, Miss Peggy" he said.
'Hahsen, bout ship. Hold on a min

Lund passed his hand over his face.

stretching his great arms. "Give me

Did you see the gal, Rainey?'
Out of the bloody mask of his face
his agate eyes twinkled at Rainey
with a sort Of good-natured malice.

Lund. mopping at his face, well

didn't it? Better let me have that one
you've got, Rainey."
He stretched out his hand for 1t.
Rainey delivered it, reluctantly.
There was nothing else to do, but he
felt more than ever that the Karluk
was henceforth to be a one-man ship,
run at the will of Lund.
But the girl, too, had weapon
He hugged that thought. She carried
it for her own prOte esti2n, and she
would not hesitate to use it. What a
girl she was! What q woman, rather!
Rainey thought of her as one does of
a pool that one plumbs with a stone,
thinking to find 1t fairly shallow, only
to discover it a gulf with unknown
depth and currents, capable Of smiling
placidness or sudden storm.

SOME FIGHT

Synopsis.-Loitering on the San
Francisco water front, John Raj
ney, newspaper reporter, is accost-
ed by a giant blind man, who asks
Rainey to lead him aboard the
sealing schooner Karluk. In the
cabin they find Captain Simms and
a man named Carlsen. Simms rec
ognizes the blind man, calling him
Jim Lund. Lund accuses Simms Of
abandoning him, blind, on an ice
foe, and denounces him. Simms
denies the charge, but Lund re-
fuses to be pacified. He declares
his intention of accompanying the
Karluk on its expedition north,
where it is going in quest Of a gold
field which Lund has discovered.
Peggy. Simms' daughter. is aboard,
and defends her father. Carlson.

forced to declare himself satisfied.

on deck ready to take decisive hand.
But he found 1t no easy matter to
risk shot in that swirling mass. They
all seemed to be arm weary. Blows
no longer rose and fell. Lund was
slowly dragging the dead weight of
them all toward the mast. The two
men on the deck still lay there.
Rainey's opponent was trying to get
up. wiping clumsily at the blood on
his face, blinded. A man broke loose
from the scrimmage, on the opposite
side from Rainey, who barely recog-
niZed the disheveled figure with the
bloody, battered face as Deming. The
hunter had managed to get hold of
Lund's gun. Rainey's aim was screened
by a sudden lunge of the huddle OF
men. He saw Lund heave, saw his
red face bob up, mouth open, roaring
once more, saw his leg come up in a
tremendous kick that caught Deming's
Outleveling arm close to the elbow,
saw the CLEAN of the gun as it streaked
up and overheard, and Deming stag
gering back, clutching at his broken
limb, cursing with the pain, to bring
up against the rail and shout to the
seamen:
Get into it, you ID towards Get
into it, and settle him."
Even in that instant the sarcasm of
the cry of towards" struck home to
Rainey. The next second the girl had
jumped by him, a CLINT of metal in
her hand as she brought 1t out of her
blouse. This time she saw him. Come
on" she cried And darted between
the fighters and the stOrming figure
Of Deming, who tried to grasp her
with his one good arm, but failed.
Rainey sped after her just as Lund
reached the mast. The girl had
nickled pistol in her hand and was
threatening the sullen line Of irresO-
lutte seamen. Rainey with his gun
was not needed. He heard Lund shout
out in a triumphant cry and saw him
battering at the heads of three who
still clung to him.
All through the fight Lund had kept
his head. struggling to the purpose he
had finally achieved, to reach the
mast-rack of Delaying pins, seize one
of the hardwood clubs and. with this
weapon, beat his assailants to the
deck
He stood against the mast, his
clothes almost stripped from him, the
white of his flesh cleaning through
the tatters, streaked with blood. Save
for his eyes, his face was no longer
human, only a mass of flayed flesh
and clotted beard. But his eyes were
alight with battle and then. as Rainey
gazed. they changed. Something of
surprise, then Of delight, leaped into
them, followed by burning flare that
was matched in those of the girl who,
with Rainey herding back the sea-
men, had turned at Lund's yell of vic
tory.
The girl wheeled and fed, lodging
behind Tamada, who gave way to let
her pass, his ivory features showing
