CHAPTER .XxXIII

Walden's distended eyes blood
shot, staring, remained fixed. He
seemed like a man in the grip of
hypnosis.
"Diana!" came the call again
from the other side of the door, the
voice of Teddy, "let us in, can't
you?"
The words appeared to strike in
to Walden's dazed brain, to bring
him to realizing sense of things.
"Us!" he muttered, what in
hell"
He broke off short with a vile
oath at the sound of body being
hurled against the door. This was
repeated twice, three times, and at
the third attempt the lock gave
way, the door swung in with a
crash and Dinny Morrison was pre-
cipitated bodily into the room,
bringing up short in it's center.
His gaze flashed around the
place, taking in the situation in one
swift glance. He saw Diana, blood
streaming from a scratch on her
cheek, her flinsy gown half torn
from her body. Four feet away
stood Walden, also in a state plain
ly indicating recent combat.
His gaze turned back to the girl
again, evidently the victim of as
sault. Then, without uttering 9
word of warning he stepped for
ward, his right fist came up in q
swift uppercut, catching Walden full
on the point of The chin.
In the language of the ring it was
"haymaker," or would have beer
with man fifty pounds lighter
than John Walden. But the latter's
100 pounds saved him from a
knockout just then, although he
went down, knocked backward to
the wall, where he sank to the floor
But Walden was no gutter what
ever else he was. Astonished was
written plainly on his face as he
sat there staring at the slender fig
ure above him. This gave way the
next instant to a look of wild rage
as he clambered to his feet and
lunged forward, aiming a blow:
The blow split the air over Din
nys left shoulder as he side-stepped.
Walden whirled with surprising
quickness for so big a man. This
brought his left side before the re-
porter. Again the right came up
but this time in half swing. Din
ny's fist caught the big lawyer fan
and square under the ear.
The blow didn't Knock him over
He just sank down, his knees
buckling and hit the floor with a
resounding bump. Then his body
fell over on one side and he lay
there, still but for a choking gurgle
that came with each breath.
ooh, Dinry, you-you-"
Teddy was staring, not at the
form on the floor but at her es-
cort, her long-suffering, long-loving
would-be sweetheart. There was in
tense admiration mixed with vast

Lola, Don and Pop sat down to eat,
each searching for an explanation
of Diana's absence.
Don was the first to see her and
sprang to his feet with a glad cry
when Diana. followed by Dinny and
Teddy, filed into the dining-room.
He was dumbfounded at the condi-
ton of her clothing.
"Diana!" he cried and bent ten
derby over her, taking her limp
hand in his own.

rupted, land let Gretta get some
thing for Teddy and Dinny. I've

A little later she told her story,
recalling Walden's threat to break

DAVENPORT PLAN
! SEEN AS PEACE AID
Proposed Survey of State
/ Department May Lead to
Curling Friction.
RY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Representative Fred Davenport of
Now York. college professor, publiciSt,
former State Senator and once candl-
date for Governor of New York on the
Progressive ticket, has started some
thing that may some day prove to be
the most practical suggestion for world
peace that has been advanced,
Mr.. Davenport wants survey OF
fha Department of State made. lie
saws Congress appropriateS hundredS
of millions of dollars for the Army ana
NAVY. but a paltry $l0.00O,000 for the
Department OF State. which IS the 1lrSt
sine of defense against INTERNATIONAL
controversy. He is not so critical of
the Department OF state as OF the
,yav in which Congress has permitted
that department to function.
Plan Is Innovation.
This is the first time that any men,
Der of Congress has taken up the cud-
gels for the state Department as an
instrument for advancing the cause of
peace. Appropriations for cable tolls,
for instance are held to the minimum.
Anha ssa doris and Ministers are given
instructions in abbreviated terms,
which frequently lead to misunder-
standings The American embassies
and legations are frequently DeSleSeu
for information about the American
position on important questions. but
there is not enough money to cable
the full text abroad and hence only
fragments appear in the foreign news
papers. most all of which, owing TO
the unfavorable rates Of exchange. are
unable to accept lengthy MESA EeS
from their American correspondents.
The American Government has again
and again been criticized abroad on
the basis of meager information.
In line with Mr.. Davenport's idea
that more money should be spent for
the Department of State is the sugges-
ton that the American embassies and
Legations be given full information on
Nfle position of the Government on
some of the more important questions,
so that it could be made available to
all who inquired. This is particularly

Vessel Docks With Parts of Old

The Red Cross liner Nerissa locked
at Brooklyn today from Newfoundland
with wreckage Of the monoplane Old
Glory. which was lost at sea with
her three-man crew while attempting
a nonstop flight from Old Orchard,
Me. to Rome.
The wreckage, all that was ever
found of the plane, consisted of 81
feet of the wing, to which was at
tached part of the fuselage.' 1t was
salvaged several hundred miles east
of Newfoundland by the search
steamer Kyle and transferred to the
Nerissa at st. Johns, Newfoundland.
The men lost with Old Glory, which

tween Mexico City and Washington
through the courtesy of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. This IL
the first time the heads OF states on
this continent have had the opportu-
nifty for telephone conversation.
1t suggests not merely a means for
the secretaries of state In two govern
ments to get closer together and eX-
plain their thoughts orally, but it
means that the Department of State
If it had the appropriation could COM
municate by telephone to it's Ambas-
sailors and Ministers.
Although transatlantic service by
telephone has been established, the
Government here has had little oc-
casion to use it, largely because of the
limited amount available for commun-
iCations. Unless Congress speciti-
cally appropriated the money for long
distance calls. the chances are that
funds already appropriated for tele-
grams and Cablegrams could not be
used.
The Department of State will always,
no doubt, be obliged to use radio. tele-
graph and cable to make a formal
record of business transacted with
other governments and with American
officials abroad. but the telephone is
expected to be of great aid in
emergencies when q conversation can
save time and bring about not only a
better understanding by the American
Ambassadors or Ministers Of what the
Washington Government wants to
have done, but clearer idea of what
the foreign government in question
wants the United States to understand.
If Mr.. Davenport crusade results in
giving the Department of State more
leeway in tranSacting the ever grow
ing volume of its business with foreign
countries. it may he of incalculable
aid in preventing the growth of those
little spells of friction which ultimately
breed wars.

An appeal to the people of the
country for prompt and generous con-
tributions to the Red Cross relief fund
for the sufferers in the flooded area of
the Mississippi River was made to-
day by President Coolidge.
Three hydro-airplanes also were
ordered from Pensacola to the lower
Mississippi area to assist in removing
persons from inundated sections.
The Navy Department ordered the
dispatch of the three planes from
Pensacola to Little Rock, Ark, by

the planes from Senator Robinson

Maj. Gen. Poore, commanding the

here by the naval recruiting officer

The appeal said that several hun
dred people were marooned on levees
and small elevations without food, and
because of extreme cold weather the
loss of life may be great unless they
are rescued at once. No boats were
available to rescue the flood refugees,

MRS. THOMAS KITE
WINS D. A. R. HONOR
Elected Honorary Vice PreSi-
dent General in "Run-0H"
Vote This Morning.

Mrs. Thomas Kite of Ohio was
elected to the remaining Office of
honorary vice president general of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton at a run off, election today,
when the only other candidate. Mrs.
Richard Jackson Barker of Rhode
Island withdrew her name from the
race.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Barker S
withdrawal made the election of her
rival a forcgone conclusion, the eleC.
tion rules governing the Continental
Congress required that the balloting
be continued.
Today's election was made neces-
sary by the failure of both Mrs. Kite
and Mrs. Barker to poll the necessary
,066 votes each in yesterdays con-
test, OF the three candidates then in
the field only Mrs. Eleanor Washing
ton Howard of Alexandria was chosen
as an honorary vice president general,
Received 7O1 Votes.
There being only two candidates
today, 40 votes We're necessary for
an election. 1-rs. Kite polled 701
ballots out of Il total of 70S cast.
Three of these 7oS ballots were de-
clared illegal and four votes were
cast for Mrs. Barker. which pre-
vented the election of the Ohio can
didate from being unanimous.
In the balloting yesterday, Mrs.
Kite had failed of election by only
II votes, a fact which undoubtedly
led to the withdrawal of the rival
candidate early today.
Both Mrs. Kite and Mrs. Howard
received a tremendous ovation as the
result of the election was announced
from the platform. The two candi-
dates were seated in one of the boxes
and graciously bowed and waved to
the huge audience.
With the election over, the congress
turned it's attention to the business of
the day, which included the adoption
of resolutions and the reading of the
report of the District of Columbia
State regent, Mrs. James NJ. Wiley.
