Begin Here Today.

Ned Cornct, Lenore, Hardenwortl
and Bess Gilbert are shipwrecked
Together they take refuge OH al
| island. Lenore and Ned are engaged
TO be married. The island on which
the three find themselves is inhab.
tied by brute named Doomsdorf and
| his Indian wife.
DoomSdorf promptly takes Ned
and the girls prisoners and tells them
he means TO use them as his slaves.
The prisoners are told to build a cuoin
for themselves and, when it is com.
pleted, the master of the island says
he wants Ned and Bess TO do all his
winter trapping.
Lenore Is allowed to remain with
the squaw. Different trapping routes
are given to Bess and Ned. Together
they plan TO ESCAPE from the island
and send Lenore TO call Doomsdorf TO
their cabin. Now go on with the
story.
The man regarded her with quick
ening interest. yet without the sight
est trace of suspicion. - .
He got UP at once. Lenore stared
at him as if in a nightmare. She
had hoped in her deepest heart that
he would refuse to come, that the
great test Of her soul could be avoid
ed, but already he was starting out
the door. She had done her part !;
she could wait here, if she liked, till
the thing was settled. In few seq
onds more she would know her
fate. .r
Yet she couldn't stay here ard wait.
To Doomdorf's surprise she followed
him throukh the door, into the glare
of the Northern Lights. She did not
know what impulse moved her; she
was only aware of the growing cold
of terror. Not only Ned and Bess
would pay the price il the plan failed.
She must pay, too. The thought
haunted her, every step, every wild
beat of her heart.
- Doomsdorf YVES walking swiftly;
already he was halfway from the
door. The desperate fight for free
dom was almost at hand. But what
was freedom compared to that fear
and darkness that is death?
There were no depths of ignomlny

He shook her roughly, until tho
torrent of her words had ceased. and
she was silenced beneath his lurid
gaze.
"You say-they've got a trap laid
,or me-" he demanded.
Her hands clasped before him.
: Yes, but i say I'm not guilty"
He pushed her contemptuously
from him. and she fell in the snow.
Then. with a half-animal snarl that
revealed all foo. plainly his murder

GERMANY "SEWED UP"

A possibility entertained editorially by
TIE LIGHT more than year ago seems
to have assumed the Importance of a
probability. if not of fact. in the minds
of some of the financial and economic
experts who have been closely watching
developments iii the reparations contro-
vcrsy. More than year ago THE
LIGHT expressed the idea that Germany
might not be able to pay the claims Of
the Allies even if she and they should
come to terms as TO the amount and
guarantees For Germany had no gold,
to speak of. and the ally nations were
averse to accepting her goods lest their
own markets be ruined.
Recently financial and economic att
thoritv, discussing Germanv's latest Of
fer OF guarantees. expressed the convic-
ton that none which Germany might
be able to give, or which France might
be willing to accept, would insure the
payment of the PREPARATIONS claims. This
for the simple reason that guaranty
to pay, without the ability to paw, isn't
worth much: and that the ability of
a nation to pay its debts depends not
only upon its productivenesS. but in
final analysis upon the markctability OF
what it produces.
TO turn over interests in German
industries SAYS the authority, Twill be
OF no avail unless the products Of those
industries can be made of some use to
the world either in cash or in goods.
Neither can now be exported from Ger
many in any quantity because at the
attitude OF the allied governments. When
will they get their own consent to re-
ccive payment
II France will not let Germany pro-
duce new wealth and if The alv nations
in general would bar from their mar
kets any goods the Germans might pro-
duce, then there would seem To be only
two possible ways whereby the repa: a.
tons claims could be collected The
Allies might take over German indus
tries or land-capital in either case--or
Germany might try to sell her products
to morally countries as means OF get
ting the money to pay The reparatons
claims of the Allies.
The United States is the only great
country that is able 10 buy German
goods in sufficient quantity to enable
Germany to obtain enough gold to be-
gin 20 satisfy the Allies. But the United
States, too. has barred its doors against !
German goods. This country's tariff |
law discourages commerce with Ger
many. and in effect prohibits it so far
as many commodities are concerned
In other words. all the world seems
to be determined that Germany shall |
not have an opportunity to earn the
means to pay the reparations demanded
by the Allies. So. if the world persists
in that apparent determination. the only
way whereby the Allies could collect |
;neir claims, it seems logical to conclude,
would be to take some big slices of the
land or other capital property which
goes to make up Germany.

SHADOW AND SUBSTANCE

Not only on the funny pages is some
body always taking the iov out of life
Some of the funniest of antics arc
performed in real life, in the name OF
government. Consider this, for sample:
A federal district Judge at Hunting
ton, Va, espied some pirturcs in 4 news
paper published in that CITY He got
all het up under his official collar.
Collar seems to be especially appro-
PIRATE in this connection. as "the law"
IN the Interpretation put upon it by the
Huntington Judge, must be personally
calling to all who believe in democratic
government. And of course it is to be
assumed that this federal Judge believes
in democratic government
But he regarded it as his duty. under
the law to punish those who were
responsible for the publication of the,
pictures. For they were fight pictures.
showing Dempsey and Firpo mixing it,
in the squared ring. Seeing the pic
lures. the judge fastened to charge the
grand jury to take action: the publish
erS OF the newspaper should be indicted.
FOR some reason-it is to be ASSUMED
that there was some reasonable charge
was withdrawn. That action was taken
after conference between the Judge and
the federal district attorney. Yet the
Judge followed it UP by issuing "warn-
ing to the newspapers; they must never
again publish such pictures. upon pain
oi being prosecuted. It might be inter
cstlng to learn why. if "the law" had
been violated, the charge to the grand
jury was rescnded; were the rcouire-
mcnts OF official duty satisfied bv mere
warning?
The. Withdrawal of the charge after
the judges conference with the district
attorney might lead the laynan to con-
Glide that the former was a bit over
Jealous and was about to misintcrprct
the law But that conclusion seems
to be discounted by the warning. which
implies that grand-jury action against
the publishers of the pictures would have
been legal.
Consider what this would mean COM
pared with the fact that no federal Judge
or anybody else tried to prevent or stop
tine Dempsey-Firpo fioht itself. Pre-
sumahly there was no law under which
the fight itself could have been prevented
or stored; if this presumption is err
roneous, then some official was remiss
in the performance Of duty. In either
case the comparison would illustrate a
tendency to cry out against the shadow
while entering the substance.
The Dempsey-Firpo fight itself was
the real thing. Nobody cried out
against it-nobody in government au-
thority, at any rate The pictures pub
lished by the Huntington newspaper
were the shadow-literally as we'll as
figuratively.

DEFIES THE A. A. U.
Paddock VIII Go 10 France TO Run,
lie Says.

New York. April 7.--Charley Pad
docks decision to go TO France and
compete in the University of Paris
meet against the wishes of the A. a.
U. and some. Of the members Of the
Olympic committee, created n stir In
athletic circles Saturday. The decision
narrowed to the question--what can
the A. A. u. do il Paddock defies
the organization and goes 10 Paris!
When Paddock announced that he
had accepted the invitation of the
University of Paris and would COM
pete in the games, 1t was unofficial
ly" pointed out from headquarters
here that no American athlete could be
accepted as an entry in a foreign meet
without the approval of the Ameri-
can governing body.
Paddock, in Pasadena said he was
going to a college meet as a college
athlete under the colors of the Uni
versity of Southern California and
that the A. A. u. had no jurisdiction
over him when h< was running as a
college man. :.
Paddock - admitted that he had
not asked the approval Of the A. a.
u, that he had no permit and that
he was going to sail anyway on the
liner Paris on April is.
No one could be found here who
was willing to express any official
opinion on what retaliation, If any,
the A. A. L., would take.
Many consider here that Paddock
is perfectly within his rights and that
be could not be reprimanded or pun
ished foi making the trip. Teams from
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and
Pennsylvania have made trips to Eu-
ropc in the past without consulting
the A. A. L., and. il Southern Cali
fornia has no objection to Padd:ek's
trip. the A. A. U. is in no position
to protest or take action to stop him.
The meet in which Paddock plans
to compete is the start of a movement
to establish an annual athlete carnival
among French colleges and prep
schools patterned after the Penn relay
Haues.
