Roman Emperor, Trajan, Spread the
Boundaries of the Empire and
Governed Justly at Home.

The Roman emperor, Trajan, whose
full name was Marcus Ulpius Ira
Janus, was born about the year 56
at Italica in Spain, which was then a
Roman province. He was trained for
a military career and gained distinc-
ton in the Parthian and German cam
paigns, and after holding two civil
offices was adopted by the Emperor
Nerva, whom he succeeded on the
imperial throne in the year SO. The
greater part of his time as emperor
was spent in the field commanding
his troops. His first campaign was
carried on beyond the Danube against
the Daeians, whom he conquered after
a long struggle. In the conquered
country he planted Roman colony,
and the descendants of those colonists
are the Roumanians of today. Trajans

if no oil is ever found there. I shall
see to it that you will not be injured
because of that signed statement"
Gramont nodded in dull comprehen-
sion. He realized that Fell had de-
vised this whole business scheme with
internal ingenuity; had devised it in
orfier to take a hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars out Of his own pocket and
put it into that of Lucie 1t was a
present which the girl would never ac-
cept as a gift, but which, If it came
in the way Of business, would make
her financially Independent. Nobody
would be defrauded. There was no
straight enough.
THAT'S not quite all of my plan,"
pursued Fell, as though reading Ora
mCnt's unuttered thoughts. "The min
ute this news becomes public, the min
ute your statement is published, there
will be a tremendous boom in that
whole section. I shall take charge Of
Lucie's money, and within three weeks
l should double it, treble it, for her.
Before the boom bursts she will be out
of it all, and wealthy. Now, my dear
Gramont, I do not presume that you
will still refuse to vote with me? I
have been quite frank, you see.'
Gramont stirred in his chair.
"Yes!" he said, low-voiced. ''Yes,
by heavens, ! do refuse!"
With an effort he checked holly i'm
pulsive words that were on his tongue.
One word now might ruin him. He
dared not say that he did not want to
see Fell's money pass into the hands
of Lucie-money gained by fraud and
theft and crime! He dared not give
his reasons for refusing. He meant
now to crush Fell utterly-but one
wrong word would give the man full
warning. He must say nothing.
! sIt's not straight work, Fell. Re-
CARELESS of your motives, l refuse to

joachim Fell sighed slightly, and laid
down his cigar with precision.

interested in all questions affecting

and that the reparations should be adj
justed on a basis of Germany's capa-

tive Burton of Ohio, a member of the
debt refunding commission, has put
forward a suggestion for giving Europe
financial aid. It is, briefly, that while
the principal of loans repaid by the al
lies is used to retire Liberty bonds as
contemplated by law, the interest be
re-loaned under proper supervision
for security for purposes of expansion
and betterment in the countries which

THE Supreme court decided that a

ished by both the federal and state au-
thorities for a single violation of the
prohibition act. Representative Bren-
nan of Michigan has introduced bill
designed to prevent such a double
prosecution. Dry and wet leaders are
quarreling over the Interpretation Of
the Presidents language concerning
prohibition enforcement in his message
to congress. The former assert it was
an unqualified Endorsement of the Vol
stead act. The latter, as represented
by Capt W II. Stayton, say: ITO any
fair-minded person it is obvious that,
in the Presidents message, the ques-
ton of the enforceability Of the present
fanatical Volstead act is definitely
raised"

EVIDENCE for and against the move
IL to impeach Attorney General
Daugherty made the sessions of the
house committee on judiciary exceed
ingly lively. In support of the charge
that the chief law officer had knowing
ly appointed unfit persons to Office the
case Of William J. Burns, whom he
made chief of the bureau of investiga-
ton, was cited. Letters from Chief
Justice Taft written when he was
President and from George w. Wicker
sham written when he was attorney
general, strongly eondemning the ac-
tons of Burns in the Oregon land
fraud cases, were read into the record.
Samuel Gompers' secretary testified
that he called the, letters to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Daugherty before Burns
was appointed. Next day Senator
Johnson of California took the stand
and testified that he recommended the
appointment of Burns and that ION
question of veracity between Wicker
sham and Burns, I'd take Burns In
his own behalf Burns swore the Wick
ersham letter was "a tissue of false
hoods" He said Gompers had hound
ed him ever since he caught the Nc
Namara brothers in the Los Angeles
Times dynamiting case, and that Comp
ers hearing the prisoners were about
to admit their guilt, sent an agent to
Los Angeles to stop the confession.
Thereupon Gonpers went on the stand
and said this charge was without the
slightest foundation.
Chairman McChord of the interstate
commerce commission was called to
testify as to the failure of the Depart
ment Of Justice to enforce the safety
appliance and locomotive inspection
laws. He testified that Daugherty had
co-operated with the commission to the
best of his ability.
Representative Keller of Minnesota,
who preferred the charges against the
attorney general, and some others were
dissatisfied with the attitude Of the
committee and said it evidently intend
ed to .whitewash" Mr. Daugherty. Mr..
Keller finally declared angrily that he
would prosecute the charges no further
before the committee.

and enhance their ability to meet their
obligations.
n GOD progress was made last week
NJ by the Near East conference in
Lausanne. Most of the time was
given over to demands by the allies
that the Turks give suitable guarantees
for the safety of Christian mlnorities,
especially the Armenians and to dis
cussion of the proposition. Lord Cur
zon, spokesman for the allies in this,
was supported to considerable extent
by American Ambassador Child, who
not only stated his position before the
conference, but called on Ismet Pasha
and tried to induce him to agree to a
compromise. Lord Curzon insisted
that Turkey should Join the League of
Nations and consent to the establish
ment of commissions to supervise and
assure protection for the Christian
minority populations. Ismet protested
that the presence Of such commissions
in Turkey would result in the defiance
Of Turkish rule and sovereignty. He
said he would accept plan to put the
minorities on the same footing as the
minorities in Rumania, Jugo-Slayia,
and Czechoslovazia, as provided in
other treaties. He pointed out that in
none Of these countries does the League
of Nations maintain commissions to be
a constant source of trouble.
Lord Curzon's reply was that unless
Turkey yielded on this point, the con-
ference would come to an end. Ismet
took a day to consider this, and then
announced that Turkey would join the
League Nations as soon as peace
was signed. AS the league exercises
general supervision over minority popu-
Iations, this was taken as meaning that
Turkey will accept the leagues. super
vision over the Christian minorities in
that country. Ismet, however, insisted
Turkey would not establish national
home for the Armenians. The allied
delegates expressed their satisfaction
with thesTurkish decision and assured
Ismet the rights of his country would
not be inf11nged.
While on the subject of conferences,
brief mention must be made of that in
Moscow where Russia and Poland and
the Baltic states have failed to reach
an accord ON non-aggression and dis
armament. Poland and the Baltic
states presented an ultimatum, that a
moral disarmament or non-aggression
,oac+ could hn stoned immediately LET
ting the commissions discuss material
disarmament later. The Russians re
fused any pact unless it included actual
disarmament, as they said their chief
reason for calling the conference was
to relieve the burden of taxation
caused by large armies. The confer
ence therefore broke up.

TRANCE is to be left to act as she
4 sees fit when Germany defaults on
the Preparations payments i'll January,
but she will not have the active sup
port of Great Britain. That appears to
be the sole outcome Of the meeting OF
the allied premiers in London from
which so much was expected. First,
they fatty rejected the tentative plan
offered by Chancellor Cuno, which was
no surprise to Berlin. Then the vari-
Gus premiers submitted their proposals,
and after discussion they merely adj
iourned until January 2, when they
meet in Paris. Poincare's plan, includ-
ing the occupation Of the Ruhr and
Essen, has been told before. Musso-
lini for Italy offered a program for the
cancellation of interallied debts in re-
turn for reduction of German repara-
lions, with Great Britain not making
conditions difficult by asking that
America cancel the debt owed it. He
said if such a plan could be adopted,
Italy would help Germany in the task
Of reconstruction; if not, then Italy

the British government would be quite
willing to reconsider the question OF
a cancellation of the French debt pro
vided such step was made possible
by a reparations settlement satisfac-
tory to Great Britain. Later he virtual
ly told Poincare that if the French in
sisted on Selling physical pledges for
German good faith, Great Britain,
while it could not approve actively,
would not oppose. The British re
fused to be associated in any effort to
induce the United States to cancel its
debt, and Mussolini thought America
should be left out of the discussion OF
the problem.
There was intimation from Paris that
Poincare, when the time comes, may be
satisfied with non-military measures
against Germany, but he has the. back
ing of his cabinet in any case. Some
compromise may be reached in the
