 to Nations

LONDON. May g. Winston Churchill told the House of Com mons today that the kind of pro- posals foreshadowed on German re- parations will be unacceptable to the Baldwin Cabinet. He said that the percentages allotted to various nation were different from those arrived at after the close of the war at the Spa conference.
 The contemplated agreement be- tween Owen Young and pr. Schacht aroused great feeling and Cabinet action is expected to be taken soon.
 Although official circles have hitherto been silent on rel sesas a conference of the Labor members demanded an explanation from the Government and this was the req son for the statement by the For eign Secretary.

 Not bad" he said curtly. An other demonstration of my conter-- tion that one should get on the job early. A few minutes later vol wouldn't have found 't." He peer ed through the lens. "The scratch will be on an exposed part of the mans body" he went on, "or his garments would have cleansed the claw as the cat drew it back
 An excellent point" I remark ed. Tt hadn't occurred to me. Our task is again simplified; we look for a man with scratch on an ey- posed part of his body"
 Hardly as simple as that" Mac Nair drawled.
 What do you mean?" I exclaim- ed, strucl, by his tone.
 T mean if we were to find a man with a scratch on, say, his wrist. it wouldn't necessarily fol- low that he'd killed Andrew Os- den."
 At this, MacNair pulled up his
  right sleeve and revealed a red welt two inches lcng on the under side of his wrist.
 "What do you say to that?" he chuckled.
 Good Lord!" I exclaimed. How did you get it?"
 Coming through the window just now. You must trim that briar rose of yours, Peebles." Oh" I said in abashed tones. I'm sorry. I've always been skepti- cal of the value of circumstantial evidence, too.'

Chapter 10 A DROP OF BLOOD

Where is the revolver?" Mac Nair demanded.
 T think I am lying on it," said. A metallic object was pressing into the small of my back. Here it is. The rascal had it leveled on me when I hit him with he golf club. He dropped it and used his own gun on you"
 MacNair looked the pistol over. Queer he should have known who had it."
 I nodded "It's just another of the many queernesses we have to explain. I'm glad you happened along. You'd better stay for break fast. If it hadn't been for Lucy batting her hand and being kissed in return-"and you and Mrs. Mof- fit, I'd be past caring for break fasts."

ating expenses. Volunteer sub scriptions were offered but not ac- cepted, pending a final report from MT. Williams on the cost.
 MT. Williams said he had con- templated a sort of bungalow type house, small and compact, with sufficient room for an information desk and attendant. He had been assured of cooperation from mer- chants and others and believed the cost of. construction and materials could be met without requiring an appropriation from the Chamber.
 J. w. Wilson suggested a smoker might be staged by the Chamber to raise additional funds if they were needed. The matter was re- ferred to the Finance Committee, but there was some objection from several members to the organiza- ton entering such field which heretofore has been occupied by fraternal and social bodies.
 Not To Abandon Post
 The War Department has at this time no intention of abandoning it's Chilkoot Barracks post, the only military post remaining in the Ter ritorv. This was made clear by Major Thornton Rogers, Command ing Officer, who was a guest of the Chamber today. Official cor rcspondence, he said, relative to appropriations for the post indi- cated it would be retained at least for the present.
 Major Rogers has just returned from a trip to Seward. He is completing a three-year tour of duty at Chilkoot Barracks that ends May IS. His relief is expected north in the near future. If could go to the States for three or four month leave I'd be perfectly con- tent to return to Alaska to reside, but it can't be done" he declared.
 William M. Whitney, Legal Ad- visor to the Prohibition Adminis- trator for this district, was a guest of the Chamber today, expressing ais pleasure at attending the meet ing.
 Jazz Ready To Go
 All dressed up in a new coat of paint, her engines tuned up for the trip and awaiting only Juneau Yacht Club pennant, the Jazz is all ready to start on it's voyage to Puget Sound to enter the Capital o-Capital Yacht Race, Auditor Cash Cole informed the Chamber. MT. Cole and his family will leave here May 25, touching at Vancou- yer, Seattle and Tacoma and then proceeding to Olympia. He said he would take a supply of pam phlets and publicity material and expects to do a lot of advertising for Juneau and Alaska as whole on the trip.
