the yard of the court. Someone
said, There he isl" Someone said,

pie What was the matter? VIII It
were they looking at? He seemed
to be wedged among mass of
dark and rather beastly faces
breathing close to his own. He
could not get on. He was being
pushed. He was caused to stagger.
He said, Look out, I've got game

murmur arose more loudly in an

where threw piece of orange peel
at someone. 1t almost hit his face.
What was up? What were they all
doing?
At the door Of the court Sabre
looked across to where on the other
side of the yard some men were
shutting out of a detached build
ing. The coroner's officer said,
Jury. They've been viewing the
corpse"
"Corpse!" The rough word
stabbed through his numbness. He
thought, Corpse, Viewing the
corpse! Obscene and horrible
phrase! Corpse, Enie!" He made a
movement in that direction.
The man said, Yes, perhaps
you'd better"
He was against a glass screen,
misty with breaths of those who
had stared and peered through i.

with shock most terrible his mind
made contact with that which it
had pursued. 1t had CROPPED as in a

Hapgood had said to his friend
OF the effect on Sabre of Mabers
action against him: He's crashed.
The roofs fallen in on him" And
that had been Sabre's own belief.
But it was not so. There are de-
grees of calamity. Dumbfounded,
stunned, aghast, Sabre would not
have believed that conspiracy
against him of all the powers of
darkness could conceivably worsea
his plight. They had shot their
bolt. He was stricken amain.
But they had not shot their bolt
The roof had not yet fallen ON him.
The timbers of the superstructure
had but bent and cracked and
groaned.
Their bolt was shot, the roof
crashed in, the four sides OF his
world tottered and collapsed upon
him, with the words spoken to
Sabre by that man who approached
and took him aside while he stood
to take leave of Hapgood.
The man said, Il daresay you
know me by sight, Mr.. Sabre. I'm
the coroner's officer at Tidborough.
You're rather wanted down there
The fact is that young woman
that's been living with you's been
found dead.v
Sabre's face took then the
strange and awful hue that Hap
good had marked upon it.
Found dead? Found dead?

In your house, Mr.. Sabre. And
her baby, dead with her.
Found dead? Found dead? Effie?
And her baby? Found dead? Oh,
dear God Catch hold of my
arm minute. All right, let me
go. Found dead? What d'you
mean, found dead?'
There's to be an inquest tomor-
row. That's what you're wanted
for"
Inquest? Inquest?" Sabre's
speech was thick. He knew it was
thick. His tongue felt enormously
too big for his mouth. He could
net control it properly. He felt
that all his limbs and members
were swollen and ponderous and
out of his control Inquest? Foul !

. a v e Disregarded
Long Series Notes
Calling Attention to
Violations of YER
sailles Pact De-
mand Apology and
Amends for Recent
Incidents

Paris Nov. 17.-(By A. P.)-The
Allied powers through the council Of
ambassadors have in formed Ger
many that all questions concerning
the withdrawal of the military con-
troll commission in Germany have
been suspended until the German
government gives the fullest salts
faction for what are termed fragrant
violations of the military clauses OF
the treaty of Versailles, committed
during the past six months and
shows willingness to abide by the
commissions instructions.
The note of the Allies was sent
after the receipt of a German COM
munlcatlon on the subject which
was termed ''irsolent to a degree"
In this communication Germany is
said to have disregarded totally the
long series of notes of complaint sent
by the Allies and to have declared
that she was glad to learn the Allies
were about to end their military
control and permit Germany to re-
vert back to normal.
The note also ignored formal AL
lied representation to the Berlin
government on Sept. 20. consequent
of the large number of acts of ag-
erosion against the Allied military
in their work OF inspection.
The Allied note of today demands
an apology and repair atoms for re-
cent incidents at Passau and Stettin.
In requesting an immediate reply the
Allies say their patience is about ex-
hausted.
The council of ambassadors also
is making another demand for the
German naval enlistment list which
has been repeatedly refused them
during the past six months. 1t is
said the Allies suspect that Germany
is exceeding her quota of enlist
ments and violating the conditions
of training provided for in the peace
treaty.
A decision has been reached by
the Allies to warn Germany that she
will not be permitted to manufac-
ture new war inventions in which
she at present is said to be actively
engaged. The Allies cannot prevent
study or experiments of such inven-
tions, but it is asserted they will pro-
hibit the making of them.

SULTAN FLEES FROM CAPITAL :
IN FEAR OF ASSASSINATION
TAKES REFUGE ON BRITISH SHIP
TO OPEN DOOR FOR CHANCES
IN SHIP SUBSIDY BILL-~pLAN
final VOTE IN HOUSE NOV, 29

Washington, Nov. 17.-Plans for
plotting the ship subsidy bill through
Congress got under way today with
an agreement by Republican leaders
to open the door to unlimited
amendment of the measure on the
floor of the House, but with the stip-
ulation that a final vote shall be had
November 20. At the same thine
Chairman Lasker. Of the Shipping
Board predicted that it would be en-
acted into Jaw because the miracle
Of America is that at the final mo-
ment Of decision, right and comm On
sense will prevail"
The agreement for a vote in the
House was reached at a conference
attended by Speaker Gillett, Repre-
sentative Mondell. Republican floor
leader, Chairman Campbell of the
rules committee, and members Of
the merchant marine and of the
steering committees. Chairman
Campbell suggested and the other
leaders present agreed that a rule
should be presented under which the
bill would be taken up for general
debate next Thursday. Three full
days would be given over to general
discussion and then the measure
would be taken up, item by item
with three days for amendment be-
fore a final vote.
Chairman Campbell said the agree
ment for the open rule would elm
mate the question of referring the
measure to a party conference and
would give the House the opportu-
nifty to frame the sort of merchant
marine measure it wanted to pass,
and which it would be willing to
stand on. Democratic leaders pre-
dicted flood of amendments would
be offered, including provision
sponsored by. the dry element bar
ring liquor on American sh ps.
. Notwithstanding signs OF an i'm
pending fight in the House. the Sem
ate is regarded by advocates of the
measure as the most dangerous
point. No rule limiting debate is
possible there. and number of Re-
publican leaders have expressed
doubt whether the legislation can be
disposed of by March 3rd, when all
bills die with the end of the Con-
gress. The Democrats already have
declared almost solidly against the
measure and a large number of Re-
publicans have made open declara-
lions of war against it.
The Senate commerce committee
is expected to report the bill prompt
ly but not until after the extra ses-
sion lapses into the regular Deem
Der session.
