DR.. Spaeth, speaking about the
matter, was extremely careful to
explain that it was unsafe to gen
eralizc as to what these expert
ments have shown.
THE experiments did show that
fatigue didn't make the rats sus-
certible, didn't they?" he was
asked.
They showed that the fatigued
rats did not die. The results were
entirely contrary to what we ex-
rected. Yes, and made
perimentS on guinea pigs with the
same result. But"-and DIR. Spaeth
paused and smiled--"there may
have been other elements in the
bodies of the rats which compli-
Gated the thing.
"Of course" said DIR. Spaeth, the
manner in which the rats got the
pneumococci into their bodies diff
fers from the manner in which
the human organism takes it in,
when the human has pneumonia"

BONAR LAW FACES
! TEST IN COMMONS.
Industrial Unrest May Prove
/ Cause for Downfall of
British Ministry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 9-The most i'm
portant part of the present pariia-
mentary session begins today, when
the house of commons reassembles
after short vacation.
1t is universally admitted that
there are critical times ahead of the
government Seldom has there been
an administration that has drawn
more criticism from the press be-
cause Of its alleged shortcomings.
The unrest in the labor world. the
discomfort shown by a large division
of the middle classes and the anN-
ieties of capital and business are
features in every London newspaper
and the government seems to be re-
garded as the scapegoat of all in
terests.
Opposition Is Strong.
The cabinet. of course. has it's de-
tenders and apolCgists, but Il peruSal
Of this mornings papers leaves the
general impression that its oppo-
nents decidedly have the big END OF
the stick. The Times, in nowlse
generally hostile to the government
emphasizes the strength of the par
liamentary forces arrayed against
the cabinet, whose position, it says
without being actually dangerous,
demands constant vigilance" The
newspaper, however, believes that
If the ministers Lave courage they
VIII lack neither the inspiration nor
the reward of achievement"
The Post, the governments strong
est supporter, asserts that despite
the malediction of foes open and Sc
cret. the government has the great
majority of the country behind it,
Most OF the other newspapers sound
warnings and denunciations. The
Daily Mail, extremely hostile saws
the ministers meet parliament Sc
cretly conscious that they have COM
pletely lost the confidence of the
country. and are almost bankrupt in
regulations"
Policy Change Urged
Every one versed in politics" it
continues. knows that as constituted
at present the government cannot last
much longer and that there must be
sweeping changes within a very few
weeks What is wanted is "A
change of policy to the restoration
of common sense and a dismissal of
blunderers."
The Westminster Gazette. Voiciue-
the views of moderate liberalism. as
serts that the critical circumstances
of the moment may easily bring the
ministry to shipwreck. "Bonar Law
might be able to govern if he had
colleagues of ability" it adds. hut
even prime minister of genius could
not win through with existing ma
terial."

WiLI1AM L. EDWARDS, Solicitor saS.I4
The Monmouth inquirer., 1923-04-12

It was a study to watch the English
mans face az Monk spoke; it became
pale and green with anger and disap-
pointment. But he still tried to hold
the position.
DO you mean TO tell tae that a Nor
wegian gunboat dares to stop an Eng
lish yacht which has done nothing I'M
lawful? 1t will cost the captain his
position, if no more you know. that, as
well as l do"
This morning, at nine O'Clock" an
swered Monk, quietly, II was on board
the gunboat, and after having stated my
case, the captain gave orders to fire up.
At Twelve the steam would be up, and
until then | postponed my visit to your
yacht. | informed The captain that !
had business on board here, but that it
was moi improbable we might be ex-
posed to violent treatment. 1t was ar
ranged hat if we did not leave the yacht
within two hours, the captain was to
send a boat and fetch us; and if the
yacht weighed anchor without our hav-
ing left, the gunboat was to follow and
compel the yacht to return. Do you
think the captain will hesitate at stop
ping the yacht, when he knows that two
Norwegian subjects are retained on
board by force7 Give orders to tack
about and let the yacht again anchor,
and the gunboat will not trouble us.
That's the only way in which you can
avoid a scandal. Do you understand
me?"
The Englishman did not at first an
swer a word, but he made a wry face.
After a short pause he violently pulled
a bell rope, which hung beside his chair,
and the captain of the yacht entered,
with his gold-braided cap in hand.
Let her tack back again and anchor
where she was lying, Captain Watkins.
These gentlemen have forgotten ONE
thing; we must put off our little cruise
till Tomorrow"
The Monmouth inquirer., 1923-04-12

Il am glad to see you have come back
to our senses, Mr.. Howell; you know
your attempt to carry me and my friend
away has made your case still worse.
/ will openly admit that / have no war
rant of arrest against you, but the re-
suit of this little escapade will be that
neither the captain of the gunboat nor
the police will hesitate in OBTAINING you
here until such a warrant can be OBJ
tanned from Christiania."
"Wha do you demand of me?"
81 have told you once before-a clear
and concise account of all you know
about the diamond robbery in Mr..
Tricks house six years ago"
There was again a pause for some Sec
onds. The Englishman then threw his
cigar on the floor with an oath. you
can put the questions, and | will answe
But it must be also understood that you
take nc proceedings against me for any
part in the case"
1T is very wise of you to make that
condition. You have deceived the court,
and committed perjury. 1t would cost
you many years of your liberty if the
arm of the law reached you. But we
undertake not to proceed against you,
if you will provide us with proof that
Miss Prick, as she was then. had moth
ing to do with the robbery"
VERY well | am willing. Ask, and !
will reply"
who was it you photographed in the
museum in front of the cupboard with
the black diamond in her hand? / mean
the photograph which you later on hand
ed over to the court"
1T was the maid-Evelina Reierson
wasn't that her manner"
"And you saw that she took the dia-
niond and went away with IT'D"
YES"
"Was ii quite accidentally that you
happened to take the photograph? II

Yes, it was taken in a mirror. /
came quite by accident into the museum,
and she was so taken up with examin-
ing the diamond that she did not dotice
my presence until had already photo
graphed her. l knew she was doing
something wrong, and thought there
would be no harm in photographing
her"
why did you turn toward the glass,
instead of taking the photograph di-
rect? You stood behind her, did you
not?"
WELL, yes" said the Englishman,
looking suspiciously at Monk, whose
face was immovable. Eyes, l did. 1t was
by mere chance l turned my apparatus
toward the glass"
"How did the diabolical idea enter
your head to make use of the photo
graph as evidence against Miss Prick"
'Diabolical or not diabolical, she had
offended me, 40 matter how, and / re-
venged myself. l had never taken a
photograph in a mirror before, and so
| examined the picture with the magni
flying glass. You know how interested
/ am in snapshots"
ooh, yes; and then you observed all
that about the clock-the right and left
hands, and all the rest of it?"
Exactly; it occurred to me that it
might turn out unpleasant enough for
Miss Prick. So I waited till the case
came before the court. and then I sent a
note to the counsel for the defence,
which told him how he could get his
client off,"
"How did you know Miss Prick had
been to the pawnbroker's2 Speak out /;
for the sooner this is over, the better"
"Well, | knew young Prick had got
into dificulties-the young greenhorn
would insist on playing high with me
and my friends-and I knew, too, that
he had written his uncle's name on a
bill for four thousand kroners."
"And you did not help him? It would
have been an easy matter for you"
THAT'S nothing to do with the matter.
The sooner we are finished, the better.
Wasn't that what you safdf Well, he
wrote from Hamburg to his sister, and
begged her to pay in the four thousand
kroners to a well-known bill discounter
That is why she tried to raise money on
her jewels. That failed, and so the bill
discounter applied to old Prick, who,
without saying a word, paid the bill.
He guessed at once that his nephew
had forged his name"
How did you get to know all this ?"
We'll that's nothing &c do with the
matter. 1t is enough for you to know
that I had my interests to look after,
and that one always finds helpers when
J has got money
"And then what about you relation
with Eveiina? How do you explain
that%
ITO hell with you and your questions
Is it necessary for you to know more
Well, never mind / got to know of her
