nermanent peace" Whether 'the great origina
five Nation" will remain contented with mega
ton is question that will not be silences until
| II is finally answered. A group in the senate
"yho preferred personal partisan motives to the
honor of the country and the peace of the world"
brought about amazing moral stagnation. If
the late election means anything, 1t means that
"the United States is moving forward" while
that group and its supporters among the people
are Slipping backward"
AS Spokesman for the visitors, Henry Nor
genthau, former ambassador to Turkey, had pref
aced Mr. Wilson's first public speech in three
wears by pointing out that Gin so far the princi
pies of peace laid down by you have not been adj
hered to, the world has not achieved peace"
Those principles were not always followed in the
peace treaties themselves, which preserved too
much the angry temper OF the war. But for lack
of moral leadership and friendly cooperation
worse has followed; of which the horror of Smyr-
ma and the return of the Turk to Europe whence
the war had banished him, are shocking examples.
Whatever faults of commission or omission
may lie abroad, Armistice day was our own day
of confession and renewed resolve. We have re-
fused to aid by our power and prestige the en-
forcement of war settlements where they were
wise We have declined to assist in the mitiga-
ton of them where they unfortunately expressed
the continuing temper OF contest-a service to
humanity that should have been appropriate for
a great and prosperous people, distant from scenes
of ravage and slaughter. We have looked from
afar upon starvation and bankruptcy in many ma
tions with the constant threat of anarchy which
they offer, and have extended charity where the
need is justice. From the safe shore of our Sc
curity-more fancied than real if Europe back
slides into barbarism-we have showered desper-
ate men struggling against very real embarrass
ments with private and official criticism. Wei
have given advice and exhortation where neigh
borIy cooperation was needed That help was
pledged in the name of both political parties more
than two years ago; it has not yet been extended
and still we hector, counsel and condemn; still we
chatter and hggle over the payment of debts that
never can be paid still we lecture foreign execu-
tives upon their handling of problems as much
ours as theirs still we share in the wreckage and
salvage of the war; still we disavow all response
bty for moral salvage and refuse our aid in
clearing away the wrecks, that civilization may
not plunge into chaos.
With Mr.. Wilson, The World hopes and be-
ieves that in the light of recent decisions, 1--WE
may renew today our faith in the future, though
we are celebrating the past The future is in our
hands, and if we are not equal to tiff the Unit
ed States is no much more mean and small and
selfish than we or the world had deemed posi-
ble-"the shame will be ours and none others"
To avert that shame in the name of an America
that 'has always stood for justice" is the high
duty of an anxious and a memorable time.

Antony went on with his break

the question was, Did Cayley like

Bill left the rest of the converse

house, to Antony. He wanted to
think. There seemed to be no doubt
now that Cayley was a william. Bill
had never been familiar with viii

taking rather a mean advantage Of
his friends. Lot of funny people

The passage, then, had something
to do with the mystery of Robert S
death. Miss Norris had used it in
order to bring off her dramatic ap-
pearance as the ghost. Possibly she
had discovered it for herself; pos
sibly Mark had revealed it to her
secretly one day, never guessing
that she would make so unkind a
use of it later on; possibly Cayley,
having been let into the joke of che
dressing-up, had shown her how she
could make her appearance on the
bowling green even more mysterious
and supernatural. One way or an
other, she knew about the secret
passage. So she must be hurried
away.
Why? Because if she stayed and
talked, she might make some inno-
cent mention Of it. And Cayley did
not want any mention of it.
Why, again? Obviously because
the passage, or even the mere
knowledge of its existence, might
provide a clue.
81 wonder if Marks hiding there, -
thought Antony; and he went TO
sleep.
CHAPTER X
Antony came down in a very good
humor to breakfast next morning,
and found that his host was before
! him. Cayley looked up from his let
tiers and nodded

out his coffee.
NO. The inspector wants to
drag the lake this afternoon"
ooh! Is there a lake,"
There was just the flicker of a
smile on Cayley's face, but it dis
appeared as quickly as it came.
We'll, it's really pond" he said,
but it was called the lake."

to find?"

ris got to do with it?
Miss Norris, who had proposed to
catch an after-dinner train at the
junction, in the obvious hope that
she might have in this way a dra-
matte cross-examination at the hands
Of some keen-eyed detective, was en-
couraged tactfully, but quite firmly
to travel by the earlier train with
the others.
Why?
Well, that question was not to be
answered ofr-hand. But the fact that
it was so had made Antony interest
ed in her. By sheer luck, as It
seemed to him, he had stumbled on
the answer to his question.
Miss Norris was hurried away be-
cause she knew about the secret pas
sage.

Continued from page 1.

A large number Of the workers at
tracted to Wilmington and neighbor-
ing communities by war industries
have departed.
The registration in Wilmington is,
i am informed, 5000 less than 1t was
two years ago, and the majority OF
those not registering are Republicans.
This marks a serious loss to the party.
Congressman layton, Delawares
only Congressman. Is from many re-
ports also In a precarious position.
He is in danger from his own fol-
lowing.
His attitude in the House at Wash
ington, which was against the Dyer
lynching bill. has aroused deep feel
ing of resentment among the Negroes.
Some of their leaders are sending
the fiery cross of revenge around, and
IL is conceded among Republicans that
Layton is going to suffer considerable
loss.
He was denounced recently at a
Sunday mass meeting of Negroes IN
the National Theatre, Wilmington.
Accounts of this have been indus
triously circulated through the State
and the Negroes are being urged by
their leaders to cut; Layton in favor
of Former Judge William II. Boyce Of
Dover, the Democratic nominee.
There is no doubt that many Re-
pubiicans in Kent county, Judge
Boyces home. will cut Congressman
Layton for him.
