CHIcAGo's ZERO HOUR CLUB
Roosevelt Legion Post Has Subsidiary
Organization to Aid Beneficiary
at Death Of Member.

A new angle on the American Lee
gion's policy of service to its member
ship has been developed by the Theo-
dore Roosevelt post Of Chicago in its
Zero Hour club. This subsidiary or
ganization within the post proposes to
pay a benefit of 500 to the beneficiary
Of any of its members who die, I'M
mediately upon receipt of the notice
of his death. The plan, post officials
assert, will work for the relief of q
veterans beneficiary by tiding him
over the period which elapses between
the death and the time when the in
surance companies begin payment Of
the life insurance.
officers of the Zero Hour club also
are officers Of the Legion post, and
only accredited Legion members in
good standing are eligible to become
participants in the club. Annual dues
are $3.50, with q further assessment

founded him to realize that Warden's
murder and all that had followed it
had sprung from the Latron case. He
recollected that he had been vaguely
conscious ever since Latron's murder
of something strained, something not
wholly open, in his relations with
those men whose interests had been
most closely allied with Latron's. 1t
had been nothing open. nothing pal
pable: 1t was only that he had felt
at times In them a knowledge of
some general condition governing
them which was not wholly known to
himself. Whoever Blatchford had seen
was someone well known to him,
whose presence had been so amazing
that speech had failed Blatchford for
the moment and he had feared the
effect of the announcement on San
tome. This could have been only the
principal himself.
Some circumstance which Santoine
comprehended only imperfectly as We.
had forced this man to come out from
behind his agents and to act even at
the risk Of revealing himself. 1t was
probably he who. finding Blatchford's
presence made revealment inevitable,
had killed Blatchford. But these cir
cumstances gave Santoine no clew as
to who the man might be. The blind
| man tried vainly to guess. The only
circumstance regarding the man of
which Santoine now felt sure was
that he was one Of the many con-
cerned in the Latron case or with the
Latron properties.
'What time is it?" the blind man
suddenly asked the nurse.
"It is nearly noon, Mr.. Santoine."
"Will you leave me alone for a few
moments?" he directed.
He listened till he heard the door
close behind the nurse; then he seized
the private phone beside his bed and
called his broker.
'How is the marketT' he inquired.
There was something approaching
to panic on the stock exchange, it
appeared Some movement, arising
| from causes not yet clear, had dropped
the bottom out of score of important
stocks.

APPROVES ACTION BY FRANCE
Legion National Executive COMMITTEES
Q. KS Occupation of Territories
in Ruhr Valley.

The action Of France in occupying
certain territories in the Ruhr valley
was given stamp of approval by the
national executive committee of the
American Legion at recent meeting
In Indianapolis attended by represen-
tatives from every state.
A resolution charged that the Ger
mans had attempted to wreck the
financial system of their country for
the purpose of avoiding payment and
"by evasion and trickery sought to de-
prive France of the awards made by
the peace conference" The commit
tee voted to send copies of the reso-
tuition to President Harding, the con-
gress and the French ambassador to
the United States.
Brig. Gen. John r. McQuigg Of
Cleveland, chairman of the commit
tee which formulated the resolution,
has issued a statement giving the rea-
sons for the Legion's support of
France, as follows:
First: Because the award was a
righteous one rendered by q compe-
tent court and accepted by Germany.
Second: Because Germany has vol
unfairly defaulted and refused to pay
and has wrecked her whole financial
system to avoid payment.
Third: Because the course taken by
France Is the only effective course left
to her In dealing with an obstinate
debtor.
Fourth: Because Germany has re-
fused to levy taxes and take other
steps necessary to enable her to pay
the debt. We In the United States
are paying three times as much nation
al tax as Germany, and France is
paying more than four times as much
per capita as Germany.
Fifth: Because If Germany is not
made to pay the damage caused by
her. some one else will have to pay it.
Sixth: Because, If Germany is not
made to pay, the slaughter and expen-
diture of material and effort necessary
to win on the battlefield Will have
been, to large extent, In vain, and
there will be little to deter nations
from running amuck in the future and
making an assault on civilization
whenever they think they are sufi-
ciently strong to win.

this, Warden had been Killed. Then
Warden's death had caused Santoine
to go to Seattle and take charge OF
many of Warden's affairs Eaton had
thought that the informa ton which
had been in Wardens possession
might now be In Santoine's; Eaton,
therefore, Mad followed Santoine onto
the train.
The inference was plain that some
thing which would have given San
tome the information Warden had had
and which Eaton now required had
been brought into Santoine's house
and put in Santoine's safe. 1t was
to get possession of this Something
before 1t had reached Santoine that
the safe had been forced.
Santoine put out his hand and
pressed a bell. A servant came to
the door.
"Will you find Miss Santoine." the
blind man directed, "and ask her to
come here?"
The servant withdrew.
Santoine waited. Presently the door
again opened, and he heard his daueh-
ter's step.
Have you listed what was taken
from the safe, Harriet?" Santoine
asked.
Not yet, Father"
The blind man thought an instant.
Harriet, something has been brought
into the house-or the manner of
Keeping something in the house has
been changed-within very few DAYS
since the time, think, when the
attempt to run Eaton down with the
motor car was made. What was that
something's"
His daughter reflected "The draft
or the new agreement about the La
tron properties and the lists of stock
holders In the properties which came
through Mr.. Warden's office" she re-
piled.
''Those were In the safeY
Yes; you had not given me any in
structions about them, so had put
them in the other safe; but when /
went to get the correspondence 1 saw
them there and put them with the
correspondence in my own safe"
Santoine lay still.
sWho besides Donald knew that you
did that, Daughter" he asked.
"No one"
"Thank you"
Harriet recognized this as dismissal
and went out The blind man felt the
blood beating fiercely in his temples
and at his finger-tips. 1t amazed, as

Eight points off,
Santoine'S hand, holding the teIe
phone, shook In its agitation; his head
was hot from tie blood rushing
through 1t, his body was chilled. An
idea so strange, SO astounding, so In
credible as it first had come to him
that his feelings refused it though his
reason told him it was the only pos
sible condition which could account
for all the facts, now was being made
all but certain. He named stock after
stock; all were down-seriously de-
pressed or had been supported only by
a desperate effort of their chief
holders.
The blind man could write as well
as any other by following the position
of the lines with the fingers of his left
hand. He wrote short note swiftly
now, folded, sealed and addressed it
and handed it to the servant.
Have that delivered by a messen-
ger at once" he directed. "There
will be no written answer, I think;
only something sent back-a photo
graph. See that it is brought to me
at once"
He heard the servants footsteps
going rapidly away. He was shaking
with anger, horror, resentment; he
was almost-not quite-sure now of
all that had taken place; of why
Warden had been murdered, of what
vague shape had moved behind and
guided all that had happened since.
He recalled Eaton's voice as he had
heard it first on the train at Seattle;
and now he was almost sure-not
| quite-that he could place that voice,
that he knew where he had heard it
| before
He lay with clenched hands, shak-
| ing with rage; then by effort of his
will he put these thoughts away. The
nurse reminded him again of his need
for food.
II want nothing now," he said.
"Have it ready when / wake up.
| When the doctor comes, tell him am
going to get up today and dress:s'
He turned and stretched himself
upon his bed; SO, finally. he slept.

CHAPTER XXI
The Man Hunt.


The rolling, rayine- quilted LAND
where Harriet had left Eaton was
wooded thickly with oaks, naples and
ash; the glare from the burning
bridge lighted the ravine for only a
little way; Eaton had gained the bot.
tom of the ravine beyond the point
where this light would have made him
visible and had made the best speed
he could along it away from the lights
and voices on the road. This speed
was not very great; his stockinged
feet sank to their ankles In the soft
mud of the ravine; and when, realiz-
ing that he was leaving trace easily
followed even by lantern-light, he
clambered to the steep side and tried
to travel along It's slope, he found his
progress slower still. In the dark
ness he crashed sometimes full against
the tree-trunkS; bushes which he could
not see seized and held him, ripping
and tearing at his clothes; invisible,
fallen saplings tripped him, and he
stepped into unseen holes which
threw him headlong, so that twice he
ravine with fierce, hot pains which
nearly deprived him Of his senses
shooting through his wounded Shout.
der.
When he had made, as he thought,
fully three-quarters of a mile and
must be, allowing for the winding Of
the ravine, at least half a mile from
his pursuers, he climbed to the brink
of the bank and looked back. He was
not, as he had thought, half mile
from the road; he was not a quarter
of mile; he could still see plainly
the lights Of the three motorcars upon
the road and men moving in the flare
Of these lights. He was certain that
he had recognized the figure of Avery
among these men. Pursuit of him,
however, appeared to have been
checked for the moment; he heard
neither voices nor any movement in
the woods. Eaton, painting, threw
himself down to recover breath and
strength to think.
There was no question in Eaton's
mind what his fate would be if he
surrendered to, or was captured by,
his pursuers. What he had seen in
Santoine's study an hour before was
so unbelievable, so completely unde-
monstrable unless he himself could
prove his story that he felt that he
would receive no credence. Batch
ford, who had seen 1t in the light In
the study, was dead; Santoine, who
would have seen it If he had had eyes,
was blind. Eaton, still almost stunned
and yet wildly excited by that sight,
felt only, in the mad confusion of his
senses, the futility of telling what he
had seen unless he were in a position
to prove it. Those opposed to him
would put his statement aside with
the mere answer that he was lying;
the most charitably inclined would
think only that what he had been
through had driven him insane.
Eaton understood that his POSSIBLE
ity Of escape was very small. even IL
escape had been his only object; but
Eaton's problem was not one OF es-
cape-it was to find those he pur-
sued and make certain that they were
captured at the same time he was;
and, as he crouched painting on the
damp earth, he was thinking only of
that.

EDGE ON RECORD

Senator Edge has not disa ppointed
his admirers by coming out in favor
OF the Mellon plan for tax reduction.
A man with as much political saga
city as Senator Edge possesses could
hardly be expected to take any other
stand. And 1t is not politics alone
that will influence Senator Edge,
either. The welfare of the country
and business in general demands a
lifting of the tax burden as quickly
as possible. The senator knows this
and his record shows how he stands
when prosperity is at stake.
Senator Edge corrects the impress
sion that became widespread last
June that he had reversed himself
on the bonus issue and therefore
could be depended upon to reject
the tax reduction plan If it stood in
The way OF granting a bonus. He
declares in his statement published
yesterday that he is of the same
mind he was when he voted against
the bonus bill that was introduced
in the last congress. lie will vote
for the bonus only IL the bill pro-
vides a means for raising the money
to pay 1t without placing a further
burden on business. This was his
attitude last year. 1t was the attitude
OF President Harding, and there is
reason to believe that 1t "a the attl-
tude Of the great majority of the
people Of the country.
Senator Edwards has already de-
clared himself in favor of the Mellon
plan for tax reduction, and now that
Senator Edge has made it plain
where he stands, the people of New
Jersey can rest assured that as far
as their representatives in the upper
house of congress are concerned,
they will do everything within their
power to help lift the tax burden.
This is the kind of legislation the
country wants. The sooner congress
gets into this frame of mind and
forgets politics for q while the better
1t will be for all.
