The Red House Mystery"
 A. i Milne. who wrote .'The Red House Mystery" Is versatile Eng. lishman. Before 1914 he was an ed- itor of the famous English funny mag. azine. Punch. and occasionally issued a volume of essays Then he went to the war. and upon returning wrote three plays, and every one of them was an artistic and financial success on Broadway. Now he produces a detective story that will take a place in the front rank Of thrillers
 The story introduces 8 new charse- ter into the field of fiction, one An- tony GillinRham. an astute observer of life. who. in this particular case, ar rives for a call at the Red House just In time to hear a pistol shot and to find the cousin Of the owner attempt ing to force an entrance into the li- brary The two men enter and find a body. but no weapon. Whose body 1t is, how t got there. and the motives involved. constitute the problems that will hold fast the attention of any reader, young or old, who enjoys the mysterious.
 Milne in his playWriting has distin- guished himself because of his skill in creating dialogue. This skill is again manifest in his new book. His style has q charm that raises whatever he writes to a high level of excellence "The Red House" combines literary skill and the ability to tell a good story entertainingly. The tale does not. like SO many detective yarns, ex- plode near the end like a prieked bal loon. IL sustains itself until the fn- ish. and the reader closes the covers satisfied and pleased

"Ths Story of th. Pullman c.ro

For those who enjoy books and ar ticles written in the style and dealing with the type of matter that appears regularly In the American Magazine. ''The Story of the Pullman Car" by Joseph Husband will be of great in- terest How George Mortimer pull- man, a poor boy from New York state. a cabinet maker by trade. but with genius that soon carried him far above this. brought Co realization an idea that came Co him as he travelled in the crude and uncomfortable coaches of the Chicago < Alton railroad in the early dftics. makes fascinating story This was Che period in which passengers. herdea like cattle, settled themselves as comfortably as possible on the stiff backei, narrow benches The cars were narrow and scant head clearance was afforded by the low. fat roof. From the dirt road bed a cloud of dust blew in through open windows. n summer mingled with the wood smoke from the engine. In winter a wood stove vitiated the air. Screens there were none By night the dim light from haring candles barely il- luminated the cars.
 In 1865 the first of the Pullman cars. at first designed as sleepers. was put upon the rails It brought togcth- CT two features. safety and luxury, which accounts for the success of Pull mans venture. 4 year later dining service was installed in these cars. On the first menu were beefsteak and poe tatoes, 60 cents; mutton chops and poe tatoes. 60 cents; ham and potatoes, 60 cents and omelette with rum, 30 cents. The parlor car came many years later A series of inventions by Pullman and his associates dld much to develop the safety and convenience of travel by rail- They introduced the vestbule ear (arising through the ad- dition of dining ears to trains, which uecessitated the passing of passengers from ear to caD the gas lighting of cars, and later. electric lighting. and many features of steel car construr- tiun.

ELks' WELCOME GOVERNOR LAkE-HoLD PARADE N
 HIS HONOR
Continued from Page one)


 The Boy Scout Band played several selections. which the crowd Eigorous- y appiauded The boy musicians clearly demonstrated their ability to render excellent music, and there was high praise on every hand for their entertaining number.
 At about this period sharp flashes of lightning were seen in the north and heavy rolling thunder was heard. Fear fui of being caught in the open in a thunder storm, great many people hastened homeward However. the torm passed on, but about I0.30 there was a heavy downpour that drove ev- erybody to cover Activities were re- sumed after the shower, but only d meagre part of the crowd of the early evening was on hand to make things lively.
 Rain on the Fourth interfered with the success of the fair, attendance be- ing cut to scattering few. The loss in revenue at the sundry booths was made up in part by the si,50O insur- anee that the Elks will receive because it rained more than two-tenths of an inch. this being the necessary rainfall to collect the insurance the lodge is carrying. Because of the continuous rain all day Wednesday, no attempt whatever was made to operate that evening. It did not ram enough to collect any insurance.
 Fair Three Days Next Week
 On account of the poor weather of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Elks have decided to run the fair three nights next week, Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday Tuesday night will be Webster and North Gros- venordale night and they say the Elks from those places will be in Putnam 1000 strong. with bands. There will also be the display of fireworks on Tuesday night, the display being orig inally scheduled for tonight. It will be Danielson and Moosup night al the fair tonight.

ing and robbery Tuesday night OF the
home Of ]. c. Follin, half-brotner
of 603 Poplar avenue, ana Is satisneo
that he held up. at the point OF
gun, Charles T. Smith on Clarendon
avenue last Saturday night and LIE Roy
Raymond Townsend on Marion avenue
last Friday week, forcing both to give
up their cash.
Arrested Mt Rear Of Home.
When taken into custody Follin,
whom the sheriff has had under sus-
picion for some time, was entering
his home by the rear entrance. He
at first denied any connection with
the crimes, but when taken to the
Arlington county courthouse was
given a grilling. which resulted in an
alleged confession Of the robbery of
his half-brother. He was unarmed,
but revolver which. 1t is said, he
has been in the habit of carrying, was
turned over to the sheriff by a girl
friend of the boy, the name of whom
the sheriff would not divulge. She
had been given the gun by Follin to
keep for him.
LIE Roy Raymond Townsend, accord
ing to the sheriff, positively identified
Follin as the man who held him up.
Mr.. Smith the other hold-up victim
of the past two weeks, has been re-
quested to appear at the courthouse
this evening for the purpose of iden-
tification.
Follin. it is said. has a bad record.

having served two terms in a re-
formatory. He has been residing in
Clarendon for about two months, hav-
ing formerly lived in East Falls
Church, Arlington county.
None of the $3.50 taken from the
home of his half brother was found
on the alleged burglar. Most Of the
money. according to Follin's confess
sion, was used to pay up small debts
and to buy cheap jewelry. The bal
ance was contained in a pocketbook he

1000, 600 Jobless in Britain.

Great Britain's vital concern with this
situation is indicated by recent official
announcements that the number of un-
employed has not decreased. but re-
mains at nearly 100000, while the
number supported by pauper doles is
more than 100000, or twice the num-
Der thus supported last year.
A German loan. if it had been possi-
BILE, would have been a gigantic step
toward solving all these inter-related
difficulties. Now the whole proposal is
indefinitely adjourned because the eco
nomically essential conditions were po-
litically unacceptable to France.

Back Into Uncertainty.

The failure of the German loan has
dashed central Europe bSSk into the
uncertainty that has prevailed since
last January. 1t is impossible for
Germany to balance her budget under
present conditions. but she continues
to print paper money, further depre-
ciating the value of the mark and
enabling German industrialists to cut
their prices under those named by
manufacturers of other countries.
Already London has noted the ugly
signs that are due to the heavy drop
in the German mark and the terrific
fall of the Austrian crown.
There is an intenSification of the
monarchiStic feeling in Germany and
growing demand in Austria for a
union with Germany. This demand
which recently had the support of the
Vienna socialist labor council. sug-
gests that Austria is being driven into
Germanys arms as Russia was at
Rapallo.

LONDON, June l5.-On the eve Of
the arrival of ]. P. Morgan to see Mr..
Lloyd George. before the latter has
his conference with Premier. Poincare
next Monday. talk Is revived OF the
necessity of canceling the interallied
debts. The bankers conference,
though a failure in some respects. is
seen here as useful in having defined
the conditions essential to European
reconstruction.
One of these conditions-whethe
the United States likes it or not-is
the universal forgiveness of the inter-
allied debts. France faces bankruptcy
if she greatly reduces the reparations
while being obliged to pay interest on
her debts.
Difficult to Convince.
The opinion here is almost universal
that American financial and CONNER
cial interests understand the neces-
sity of debt cancellation and that 1t
is to the interest of all, including the
United States particularly. as to, its
! foreign trade. 1t is realized here
that the difficulty will be to convince
| the middle west and the small busl J.
ness man who is unaccustomed to
thinking in terms of world trade.
1t is believed here that Mr.. Morgan
will intimate to, Mr.. Lloyd George
that he is willing, discreetly but ac-
lively, to foster AN educational cam
paign to persuade American public
opinion of the economic necessity of
a loan to Germany. The hope is that
in the coming months the United
States. Great Britain, France and
Germany will be able to exchange an
informal contingent promise to can
eel the allied debts. reduce the repa-
rations and guarantee a cleanup of
German finances, thus clearing the
road for a German loan and recon-
