But there was nothing to forbid an
immediate pilgrimage to the much
sought grave-stone with it's sinister
symbol. The account in Peters diary
of his adventure with the pig placed
the grave with such exactness that
had no doubt of finding it easily.
That done, / would know very nearly
where to look for the cave-and in
order to bid defiance to certain chill
sense of reluctance which beset me
at the thought of the cave, l started
out at once skirting the clearing with
much circumspection, for it seemed to
me that even the sight Of my vanish
ing back must shout of mystery to
Cookie droning hymns among his pots
and pans. Crusoe, of course, came
with me, happily unconscious of his
own strange relation to our quest.
Somewhere in the angle between the
ragged margin of the cliffs and the
abrupt rise of the craggy mountainside,

Effective In Ancient Warfare

Among types Of sword famous In
the past must be mentioned the great
two-handed affair swung by the Ger
mans in lansquenets, who were much
mixed up in the French religious wars.
So large was it, it could not be car
ried at the side in scabbard, but
had to be swung across the back.
When the lansquenets went into ac-
ton they had to be stationed a good
distance apart, In order to confine
the casualties to the enemy. Each

going and developed quite sphere

y THOUGH the United States has
\ not accepted, and is not likely to
accept the invitation to take part in
the economic and financial conference
in Genoa next month, preparations for
the opening of the meeting are being
made by the Italian government. All
the city's hotels and others along the
Italian Riviera as far as Rapallo are
being requisitioned, rapid transporta-
ton and communication arranged and
the ancient palace put in order for the
sittings of the conference. Baron
Avezzano, formerly ambassador to the
United States, is general secretary in
charge of local arrangements, and Pre-
mier Bonomi, though he has resigned,
is devoting most of his time to the af-
fair, pending the appointment Of his
successor.
If America avoids this conference
it will be because, among other rea-
sons, the soviet Russian government
not yet recognized, is to be represent
ed; because certain European powers
show no disposition to help matters
by reducing their military establish
ments because none, except England,
is trying to balance its budget, and be-
cause few of them recognize the rela-
ton of the general recovery of Europe
to the recovery of Germany.

Of the encompaSSing woods. What
happened to the writer of the diary
on that last trip to the cave? For he
had never left the island. Crusoe was
here to prove it, as well as the wreck
Of the Island Queen. And, in all hui
man probability, under the sand which
choked the cabin of the derelict was
the long-sought chest of Spanish
doubloOnS.
But what was the mysterious fate
of Peter? Had he fallen overheard
from the sloop and been drowned?
Had he returned to the cave-and
was he there still? 1t was all a mys-
tery-but mystery which / burned to
solve.
OF course / might have solved it,
very quickly, merely by communicate
ing the extraordinary knowledge which
had come to me to my companions.
But for the present at least meant
to keep this astounding secret for my
own. Somehow or other, by guile or
lucky circumstance, must bring it
about that the document had signed

Was I, who all unaided had discov-
cred, or as good as discovered, the

its whereabouts to those who would
deny me the smallest claim upon it's
contents? Was to see all those flair,

between Miss Browne and Mr.. Tubbs
and Captain Magnus (the three who
doomed large in my indignant
thoughts), and not possess a single one

it by delaying the election by some
manufactured excuse.
They see proof of their charges in
the fact that the radical party, which
now controls the government, has
failed to announce a date for its con-

TENTAT1vE estimates of the co,

TENTATIVE estimates Of the cost
of the proposed soldiers bonus
place it at $3.50, 100000 a year, and the
Republican members of the house ways
and means committee spent a lot of
time last week discussing how this
was to be obtained. President Har-
ding made it clear to the leaders that
the bill must include provision for
the raising of the necessary revenue,
and that it must not be too oppressive
on the public; he agreed with Secre-
tary Mellon that bonus based on for
eign bonds is out of the question. Like
wise, the plan of raising money by any
form of general sales tax is going into
the discard, for a majority of the Re-
publicans evidently are opposed to it.
Consequently the majority members Of
the committee have agreed that vari-
GUS miscellaneous taxes shall be i'm
posed, but have not yet decided just
what these shall be. Chairman Ford
ney favors an increased tax on tobac-
co and cigarettes, tax on real es-
tate transactions and light tax on
stock and bond transfers. Other mem
bers urged taxes on gasoline and bank
checks, a federal automobile license
tax based on horsepower, and an in
crease in first and second class post
age rates.

to the papal throne in st. Peters ba-
silica and assumption. of the triple
crown was accompanied by all the
stately ceremony that has grown up
about the crowning Of pope through
the centuries Of the Catholic church's
history.
Since the new pope is an acknowl-
edged liberal and one Of the group
that supported the policies Of Benedict
XIV looking toward a reconciliation be-
tween the church and the italian gov
eminent, it may be that resumption OF
relations will come during his reign.
This, though not especially desired by
other European governments, is
strongly favored by many prominent
Italian Catholics. They believe the
church would greatly benefit because
the pope would be free to visit other
countries. Americans in Rome hope
that Plus XI may even come to this
country, the first pope ever to visit the
new world.
Cardinal O'Connell was decidedly
vexed because the choice of a pope
was made by the sacred college before
he and the other American cardinals
could reach Rome, and there is talk
of changing the papal constitution so
that this cannot happen in the future.
The incident may also be responsible
for the report that two more American
cardinals are to be created soon. The
archbishops mentioned in this connec-
ton are Mundelein of Chicago and
Hayes of New York.

ECRETARY OF THE TREAS
- URY MELLON announced last
week that the government will pay off
the Victory 3A per cent bonds on or
before June Is next, and after that
date they will cease to bear interest.
These bonds, of which there are about
$4OO,OO0O0O outstanding, were issued
May 20, 1919, and mature May 20, 1928,
but the government reserved the right
to call them for redemption this year.
At any time before June Is the bonds
will be redeemed by the federal re-
serve banks at par and accrued inter-
est. If they are held until June 10
they should have attached the coupons
payable December 10, 1922, and May
20, 1923, in order to obtain full value.

9MTAR" broke out in Ireland
w again last week, this time be-
tween the Irish themselves and along
the Ulster border. Presumably be-
cause they had not learned that three
political prisoners sentenced to death
at Derry had been reprieved, raiders
who were identified with the army of
the Irish republic invaded Ulster and
carried off scores of prisoners, doing
also a lot of shooting. A few Of the
captured men were released at once,
but the others were held, supposedly
as hostages. Naturally, the northern
counties at once blazed with indigna-
ton and thousands Of armed men
swarmed to the border and formed a
line of steel there.
OF course the provisional govern
ment of the Irish Free State was not
responsible for the kidnapings, nor
could it prevent them. 1t was be-
lieved by some that the attacks were
planned largely to embarrass Michael
Collins and his colleagues.
Owen O'Duffy, chief Of staff Of the
Irish republican army, issued this
statement:
''That there should be spontaneous
and determined action in Ulster is not
surprising. The patience of our peo-
pie there has been sorely tried lately
by continued raids arrests and tor
lures inflicted upon them by agents Of
the northern government.
"The majority of those in prison in
Belfast and Derry are suffering be-
cause they carried out my orders
while I was liaison officer, to protect
the lives and property Of Catholic
civilians from the ravages Of Orange
mobs when those who are intrusted
with law and order refuse to give pro-
lection"
Ulster and the Free State are still
disputing over the settlement of the
boundaries of Ulster, and there Is
some talk by British officials of calling
on General SHUTS to mediate.

HENRY FORD'S offer for the TAX
ing over of the governments
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals was re-
ferred to the agricultural committee
of the senate. Acceptance of the offer
was urged by Senator Underwood of
Alabama, Democratic leader, and it
was predicted the committee would
recommend it. But in the house mill
tary affairs committee the Ford prop
osition was having hard shedding. Sec
rotary of War Weeks was called there
as a witness and his testimony must
have been rather saddening to the au-
tomobile magnate. 1t was thus sum-
married. by a Washington correspond
ent:
That Ford will pay $5,000,0O0 for
that portion of the Muscle Shoals
project which has already cost the
government $106,OOOO0O.
That the government, to complete
the project, must spend $4OOOO,OOO to
$50,O00,O00 additional, which Ford will
repay under exceedingly liberal terms.
That the government can realize be-
tween $8,OO0,OO0 and $16,000O00 salv-
age on the project which Ford wants
to buy for $500O,000.
That the government can realize
more for the Warrior river plant and
neighboring property than Ford is
willing to pay for che entire Muscle
Shoals undertaking.
In reply to a direct question as to
what he would do with the offer if he
were a member of congress, the Sec
rotary said he would vote to accept it
if he thought certainly it would pro-
duce cheaper fertilizer for the farm
ers, but that he was greatly in doubt
as to this, and he believed Ford and
his engineers also were uncertain of it.
He added that he would soon submit
to congress two other offers for Muscle
Shoals.

State Highways

Commenting upon the state highways of California the San

little traffic. whole stretches Of highway proved almost
worthless

pieces and have had to be rebuilt There several rea
sons the principal being that California pioneer in
paved highways and methods had not become standardized
and many of the roads experimental the rapid increase
and development of motor traffic including the OF high
ways huge stages and trucks and raers subecng
the pressure pounding unforeseen at the time
of their construction and the political necessity OF making
little money build many miles of highways and therefore
pleasing many sections.
The paved highway comparatively thing and still
in the experimental stage Many of the highways built not
only in California but in Oregon and other states are bound
be destroyed by heavy traffic they not built to
stand When macadam roads built foresaw the
invention Of the motor vehicle destroying agency and
the millions spent their construction largely wasted
When the hard surfaced road first built none saw that
it was to be used as right of way public to
compete with railroads. Consequently when traffic for which
inch pavement needed to sustain is put four

Oregon has had the advantage Of CALIFORNIA; mistakes as

there has never been substanated scandal in highway

authority. Charges made during the recent election

as is well known by those making them.
It would shame let the state highway system be-
