toned Twyning with puckered brows.

mean-satisfied?'

Sabre showed signs Of becoming

He's a good Christian boy. He's
never had a bad thought or said a
bad word"
Not very long after this incident
occurred another incident. In its OBJ
vious aspect it was also related to
! the "Why aren't you in khaki"
| question; Sabre apprehended in it a
different bearing.
One morning he stepped suddenly
from his own room into Mr.. For
tunes in quest of reference. Twyn-
ing and Mr.. Fortune were seated to-
] gether in deep conversation. They
were very often thus seated, Sabre
had noticed. At his entry their con-
versation abruptly ceased; and this
also was not new.
Sabre went across to the filing
cabinet without Speaking.
Mr.. Fortune cleared his throat.

"Ah, Sabre. eve were just saying

it is that none of US principals are

he's given hissson to the war. YOU
of course, you're married, too, and
there we are! 1t does, as you say,
seem great pity"
Sabre spoke very slowly. Most
furious anger was about to burst
when there had suddenly come to its
control the Thought, 'These two
aren't getting at you for any love of
England, for any patriotic reason.
Theirs is another reason" He said
very slowly, 81 never told you, per-

ooh, yes, of course. Wonder they
didn't give you paper, though"
Sabre paused on the threshold He
perfectly well understood the villain
Gus implication. Vile, intolerable
! But of what service to take it up?
In August, the anniversary month
of the war, he again offered himself
for enlistment and was again re-
Jeeted, but this time after a longer
scrutiny: the standard was not at
its first height of perfection.
He was enormously cast down by
his rejection. When he got back
that night he went straight in to her.

won't have me-" His face was work

She slightly puckered her brows.

Extraordinary the intensity of his
searching, suspicious stare! Hard,
stupid old man, Sabre thought.
"Dash it, does he suppose I've got
designs on the girl?" He would
have returned an impatient answer
had he not been anxious on the
Perches' behalf. Instead he said
pleasantly, ''Of course she's not, Mr..

Nothing of the penetration abated
from the deep-set eyes, nor came any
expression of thanks from the sterl,
pursed mouth. 'I'll take my girl
over and see for myself, Mr.. Sabre. "

Walker Harold, Georgia Rhodes
student now travelling in continental
Europe, has written his father,
Frank P. Harold, giving some OF
his impressions of Germany and the
German people. So far as he has
been able to determine. Americans
are less hated than the nationals OF
any other enemy country, and the
Germans were perfectly dumbfound-
ed when the United States went into
the war. In Berlin and all parts Of
Prussia he found an unfriendly and
hostile feeling toward Americans,
though this is. not as pronounced as
is the hostility of the Prussians there
to British and French nationals.
In the south of Germany the feel
ing toward Americans, he says, can
not be described as exactly hostile,
though he received no particular
welcome there. The southern Ger
mans, he says, dislike the Prussians,
and they make no bono !; about adj

END Of SHANTUNG
DISPUTE IN SIGHT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--(By the
Associated Press,)-Prospects of a
settlement of the Shantung contro-
'versy appeared brighter today as a
result of the intervention Of Presi-
dent Harding.
In both Japanese and Chinese
quarters was reflected a new conf
dence that the presidents move
would result in an agreement on the
most troublesome of conference
questions, clearing the way for de-
termination of all the remaining is
sues under discussion here.
While a decision was awaited the
conference virtually suspended it's
other activities, proposed meeting
Of the Far Eastern committee being
postponed until tomorrow because
there was nothing to discuss pend
ing a Shantung settlement.
Mr.. Harding's compromise propos-
al, which he urged Minister SEE, OF
the Chinese delegation to accept at
a White House conference yesterday,
has been cabled to Pekin and it was
said in Chinese circles that reply
might be received before night. Some
a result it might be possible to re-
sumo discussion of the deadlocked
Shantung railroad problem when the
Japanese and Chinese meet to con-
tinue their controversies late today.
The Japanese refrained from for

posal, but it was evident they hoped

FARM CONFERENCE
TO HEAR REPORTS

ling up the program Of formal ad
dresses at this mornings session, the
National Agricultural conference
then was expected to prepare for con.
sideration of committee reports AMI
resolutions. It was thought posi-
BILE that some Of the committee rec
concentrations might be taken up by
the conference late today.
Recommendation covering an in
termediate credit system to provide
farmers with working capital al
ready have been drafted by the com
mittee assigned to this problem. Lit
tie opposition to its report is antic.
ipated, since President Harding and
virtually every other speaker before
the conference has suggested such a
program to relieve the present sltua
ton of the producers.
Certain delegations who favor IN
dorsement by the conference OF the
activities of the agricultural bloc
in congress were understood today to
be still undecided whether to intro
duce such a resolution.
Among matters on which the con-
ference is expected to take action are
resolutions dealing with readJust-
ment of railroad labor pay, reduction
Of freight rates, crop insurance ano
