"Oh, yes, sir; muchly dark, such

Paul pondered over this informa-
ton, strangely dissatisfied. He was
still considering it from every possible
angle when Carolita awoke with a
startled cry, driving everything from
his mind but her present need.
You're all right, DEAR" he reas-
sured her. "Uchita will climb over
the seat and give you your breakfast.
I'm stretching every nerve to get into
Los Angeles before dark
There was a silence while CarOlita
partook of her simple meal. then Paul
asked if she cared to sit with him in
front.
I'm so tired" she answered, quiet
ly. would it be all right for me to
sleep again?"
Certainly! The best thing for you.

grunt of satisfaction. He, too, was
tired and worn, but the face of "A
dearly beloved master seemed to smile
to him from out the great unknown,
saying: We'll done. good and faithful
servant" And being a simple-minded
fellow, free from complexes, he settled
down to enjoy a short nap.
Carolita wanted to hear Paul's story
of course nothing could have been
more natural, and the remainder of
the ride passed more calmly certain

knew that Carolita loved him. Caro-

Foreign Diplomats Wake Up

NEWSPAPERS,


GENEVA Sept. Shy Cable)-
President Coolidge's warning that
unless foreign powers exhibit more
willingness to carry out the spirit of
the Washington conference by sim
llarly limiting other types of naval
vessels and aircraft, the United
States would take the leadership in
these branches, is the biggest jolt
received in league circles this ses-
sion.
Inasmuch as the Presidents init
nation was not directed at the
league, his remarks did not make a
ripple on the surafce, but under
heath they created considerable con-
yersational commotion. Leaders
eonfidentia1y admit that this is the
first practical move the United
States has made since the first
Washington conference.
Hard.boiled diplomats here point
but that the Washington conference
succeeded because everybody was
aware that the United States was
Sapidly becoming the worlds great
|est sea power. SO when the Harding
Administration suggested a limita-
don on capital ships there was wild
scramble to second the motion.
Since then, however, President
Soolidge's every suggestion to apply
The 5.5.3 ratio to other naval craft
has fallen on deaf ears. All foreign
nations felt America had nothing
lurther to offer.
The present bombshell-a bomb
shell only because it came from

United States in the same strong

terence, for now as then other coun-
!ries know they can't compete with
The United States.
Diplomatic war horses here are
half incredulous. The gesture
smacks less Of Coolidge than of Mon
roe or Cleveland or Roosevelt. At
the same time they admit it is ex-
hctly what Britain, Japan, France
Or any Of the other powers would do

In THE DAYS NEWS

Ray T. Baker, who has announ-
ced his candidacy for the United
States senatorial nomination in
Nevada, is well known in WASH
ington, where he was prominent
officially and socially, during the
Wilson administration. He is,
however, a product of the far
West and has spent much of his
life in that section. His father
was a prominent California lawyer,
chief counsel for the Southern Pa
cific Company, and his brother
was encouragement of Nevada.
Mr.. Baker himself was engaged in
mining and business in Nevada un-
til about 1914, when he went to
Russia as secretary to the Ameri-
can embassy in Petrograd. On
his return he was appointed Direc-
tor of the Mint by President Will
son, a position he held for several
years. During this period he was
an intimate member of the White
House circle and accompanied the
President on several trips. In
1913 Mr.. Baker married the widow
of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.
