Army Officers
Won t Permit

FORT ADAMS, R. l., July 15.-
The military authorities here refuse
to permit any communication with
John Porter, imprisoned here for
his activities in the New Bedford
textile strike, while subject to mili-
tary law.
The officers are keeping Porter
strictly incommunicado and even
refuse to permit his physical condi-
tion to be reported to friends. The
last message from Porter reported
that he had become i'll following
the brutal treatment to which he has
been subjected, and stated that the
authorities are trying to weaken his
militant attitude and prevent him
from exposing the role Of the army
before public court-martial. At
that time he had been thrown into
solitary confinement.
Efforts to learn about Porter's
present condition have been unsuc-
cessful. A message was sent
! through the Western Union by the
National Office of the Young Work
ers (Communist) Leagues asking for
information as to Porter's condition
and developments of the case. The
military authorities here informed
the Western Union that there is a
military censorship on all com
munication with this man."
Efforts are to be made tomorrow
or Tuesday to establish contact
with Porter again by visit from
an attorney, and unless he is'brought
before court martial at once legal
action will be started in the civil
courts.

NOU Go On With The Story.

On the other hand it was not
within his power to know how
warm a flame his masculine gaze
generated in Marian Thorndike.
With her, the art of covering
emotion was an instinct bred of
upbringing and tradition. True,
she was modern in an intelligent
sense; but she was not the kind
to reveal her innermost feelings.
But she was, in a greater degree
sensitive and for. that reason more
than any other, perhaps, she had
cultivated an exterior calmness
that was rarely shaken.

His speech produced faint

she askedand from that distant
tone he felt a swift rebuke.
An impression came to him
that he had perhaps overstayed
the allotted time for an afternoon
call. Subconsciously. he felt that
the pleasantness between them
had disappeared: too quickly he
had become presumpti1us and
when he pressed forward with on
opinion concerning her intimate
personal affairs she had retreated
faster than he could pursue her.
Yes. it was time FOR him to 90
and he got to his feet. At the
moment Freeman came back into
the room.

Tom Freeman came into the
room and Eddie felt that his
thrillingly pleasant afternoon with
Marian was ended. As Marian
rose to greet Tom, Eddie got up

nod of his head and muttered
hello"

Freeman said. He meant this,
Eddie realized, to be casual and
to cover up the awkward SPACE
Of time until they were away from

''Sure-it's fine weather." Eddie
responded, not pleasantly.

Freeman inquired, colby.
Yes, like II.
"The weather around this place

instance, the weather might do you

Eddie looked at him and raised
his brow slightly. Eyes? Well. I
