CHAPTER XVI.
Bess LooAs - Betty.

Just where he had parted from
Ware, Darlington sat on his horse,
his brows knit and his eyes turned
in the direction Of the path. He was
on his way to . plantation below
Birard, the -owne rof which had re-
Gently imported q pack Of blood
hounds: but this unexpected en-
counter with Ware had affected
him strangely. He still heard Toms
stammering speech, he was still
seeing his CHASTITY face, and he had
come upon him with startling sud-
denness. He had CHANGED to look
back over his shoulder and when
he faced about there had been the
planter within . hundred yards OF
him.
Presently Carrington's glance
ceased to follow the windings OF
the path. He stared down at the
gray dust and saw the trail left by
Hues and his party. For momen,
he hesitated; II the dogs were to be
used with any hope Of success he
had no time to spare, and this was
the merest suspicion, illogical con-
lecture, based on nothing beyond
/! his distrust Of Ware. In the END
he sprang from the saddle, and
leading his horse into the woods
tied it to a sapling.

that 1--WE men had ridden in and out

By the AssociateA Press.

By the AssociateA Press.
ANGORA. December 2.-Premier
Reouf Bey told the national assembly
today that antiTurkish propaganda
was being carried on by the United
States with the evident design of en-
barrassing the claims Of the Angora
government at the Lausanne peace
conference.
He reiterated that American insti-
tutions and individuals enjoyed the
fullest privileges. protection and Aos-
pitality Of the Angora government.
and that they were not being asked
to leave the country. as alleged. >
Our government and people have
always maintained a respectful at
titude toward the American nation
and public opinion" he continued.
THE American government knows
how xealous we have been in this re-
gard. We have always acted as guard
ians Of the American institutions,
even during the world war.
1T is not true that we are trying
to drive out the Christians from Asia
Minor-those who desire to leave have

meet the situation. Until peace is re-
stored on the continent and trade
channels are reopened the paralysis
Of English commerce must continue.
Hope to Divert French.
The success of the Bonar Law gov
ernment absolutely depends on the
ability to divert the French mind into
more reasonable channels. 1t would
be worth a very great sacrifice on the
France to drop all political motives
that prevent the possibility of Ger
man recovery. Hopes in this direc-
tion are improved by the evident
growing understanding in France that
extravagant expectations from Ger
many are impossible and a false
dream.
1t should be a condition of the can
collation. of the French debts to
Britain that disarmament be under
taken honestly and that all black
troops be removed from European
in the settlement of the European tur-
moil until these elemental prelimina-
ries are adopted. Will France make
an advance on these lines? Her atu-
tude toward disarmament still seems
unyielding. There were some sug-
gestions at Geneva that she might
make concessions and she also has
assumed a better attitude lately to-
ward the league of nations.
Fortunately. the career of the new
British government now is not being
compromised by the Irish situation.
The treaty with the Irish Free State
has passed all stages of the house of
commons and little difficulty now is
expected in obtaining complete ratifi-
cation. The age OF political miracles
is not past. After forty years of op-
position to a moderate home rule pro-
posal a tory government adopts.
almost without a dissenting voice. a
measure of self-government for Ire
land that is little short of independ-
ence. We anticipate important re-
suits in ireland from the passage OF
the measure, as 1t will materially
strengthen the hand of the executive
in dealing with the rebel remnant.

the devastated regions for recon-

some 1900. 600, 900 francs a year.
Reconstruction has been conducted
systematically on the principle that
the first necessity was to restore

building OF houses to the last. At
the present time. roughly speaking.
all the highways and railroads have
been rebuilt. all the fields cleared and
plowed. the mines reopened and the
factories put in shape.
Meanwhile. however. q large part
Of the population. with admirable
patience and stoicism. has continued
to inhabit cellars. dugouts. novels.
shacks. and what remains to be done
il to compensate them for their four
years Of suffering by rebuilding hum
Bile houses-an immense task.
To the financiers who suggested
tho plan Premier Poincare has re-
piled that it would cause q revolu-
poverished northerners. who would
charge the government with discrimi-

t3rers and humble workmen and

LONDON, December 2-"I think there
are two main reasons why only two Of
the thirty-three woman candidates were
returned TO parliament in the recen;
election Lady Nancy As;or said today
Inc nrst is purely practical one
almost all the woman candidates were
put up 10 contest seats which had TO be
won against the opposition Of all the
regular parties. All things considered,
these women polied remarkably weI.
but IN most cases they could not tri-
urnph over the handicap under which
they were placed. The second reason is
that there undoubtedly still exists some
measure of sex prejudice against women
in parliament. Often this prejudice is
unconscious. but il exists nevertheless.
and 1t can only be overcome through
practical demonstration that woma n

the electorate"
In answer TO query as to the meas
ures necessary TO remove this prejudice.
Lady Astor smiled and replied:

Il do not See any prospects of the
woman voters disregarding party lines

cause they oppose men and I'm glad OF
it. Our appeal must be made on a
moral basis, upon which we can show
sometimes that We are better fitted than

Britsin's Greatest Liberal Editor.
Special Cable Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, December 2.-The visit to
London of Premier Poincare Of France
next week brings to a head the entire
European situation. Upon 1t depends
whether there will be a continuation
Of the friendly relationships between
France and England. Upon it also
will hinge whether the Brussels eco
nomic conference can be initiated and
whether 1t will be possible of success.
When the French premier leaves for
whether Europe is to face the light
or Is to remain in economic darkness.
Cnder the late Premier Lloyd George
England and France drif:ed far apart.
The Turkish eruption threatened
complete break between these two
ing the Turk and England supported
Greece. Happily. this menace has
been cleared away.
France has taken alarm at the ag
gressiveness Of the Turks. while all
England is shocked and horrified over
the Creek executions. This has help.
ed to restore common viewpoint
concerning the near east situation.
The result of the recent election
also has helped the situation. The
meeting. therefore. next week be-
tween Poincare and Bonar Law will
be in an atmosphere from which
good deal Of the distrust has been
cleared. OF course, the great problem
will be to persuade France to take a
reasonable attitude toward Germany.
Evidences are not wanting that this
may be arranged.
Two Favorable Symptoms.
OF deputies left the impression that a
new attitude toward the orient is be-
ing shaped in France, and the denial
from the French embassy at WASH
ington that occupation Of the Ruhr
had been ordered also is regarded as a
favorable symptom.
The opinion prevails here that Poin-
care will revive his proposal that the
question of revision Of reparations be
subject to cancellation of the inter-
allied debt. This proposal originally
was torpedoed by the Balfour note.
which made the cancellation OF the
French debt to Great Britain subject
to cancellation of the British debt to
the United States.
Public opinion here is moving pow
erfully toward the conviction that
repsrations and debts alike are vain
phantom barring Ine roao 10 EuIo-
pean recovery. What is wanted is
peace and reconciliation, to be fol-
lowed by q general trade resumption.
without the latter the profound in
dustrial depression in England can
not be removed.
The new government now is faced
with an enormous unemployment
problem. There are a quarter of a
million workers existing on doles
handed out by it. Great railway de-
velopment and other schemes in con-
temptation to deal with the situation
are makeshifts unless trade is re-
vived. Emigration proposals do not
