Stresemann was that phenomenon
which could never have occurred under
the Kaiser-a man from industry at the
head of an industrial state. The busi-

rarity in England and America, even
though it is only in the latter country
that his ambitions have turned toward
diplomacy to any marked extent. In

who compose the coalition, every one
except three comes from either west of

The one is the Democratic Senator

Probably 1t should be explained that
the phrase roughly 81 Senator's" is
obviously and necessarily a loose COM
putation. The number of the coalition
shifts slightly in some roll calls. This
estimate Of 81 is based on one of the

New Political Lineup.
This union of South and West is
something new in politics. That is, it
is new as a consunmation. AS a dream
1t is old Leader after leader has
dreamed of heading such a combina-
ton in an attack on the cities of the
East. Bryan dreamed it again and
again. Never, however, so far as / can
recall, has the union been actually eff
fected under conditions as apparently
favorable as those which the coalition
now controlling the Senate seems to
enjoy.
The coalition does not especially
think of itself as geographical. The
leaders and members think of them
selves and their purpose rather in terms
of industry. 1t is a union of agricul-
ture against every other industry. About
this there can be no doubt The lead
ers Of the coalition think of themselves
as fighting on the farmers side in a
struggle against the manufacturer.
They think Of themselves as making a

Guy had other champions.
But as Tuesday passed and
with it the hope that the girl
and the child would ever re-

pions grew silent.
Get me out Of here" Guy
implored Harold Hemming.
Cant I get some kind of a
stay while I look for her?"
Where win you look?"
'I'll find her!"
"You can't get out!"
He became inatriculate with
despair. He worked out wild
schemes for escape.
Into this blackness came a
sudden, unexpected light. Tues
day night he had q visitor. It
overwhelmed him.
Lee Templeton stood before
him.. Guy, with the memory
of Barbara's visit burned on his
heart, stood and with dubious,
defiant eyes regarded the blond
boy.

talking to a brother. though
the two had barely met. Guy,

She stood in the corner Of the

coIild not speak. Finally her
voice came. It had a stark
note; a decolate, mogning quiet
more terrible than any sob.
She said: Where Is this

done with him?"
He regarded her stunned.
Then he flung across the little

Her face became gray with
its anguish and terror. AS she
stared up at him, he lost his
familiar lineament. He became
unreal to her. She read into
his eyes cruelty, selfishneSs and
all the violence rampant in this
ruthless age. She was wild and
desperate and saw evil in all.
He felt her judgment. He
went up and shook the bars
between them. ''Barbara-re-

Angus Worthington obliged.
Angus was a trim, military

Ellen found the front door

explain why another door, that

the one the kidnaper had sent.
They discovered where the box
was brought. It was to be d
little thicket just above the
clearing that led to the aban
doned dirt road. In this spot
they found the first substitute
box.
With this news the hills we're
soon alive with searchers. Men,
boys, even women came with
spades and pitchforks. They
plowed up the canyons for miles
in search of the $4,000 Guy
was supposed to have buried.
They found nothing. Then
a theory took hold that Guys
confederate had made away
with the ranso, i: that he had
double-crossed Guy, overcome
him and hurled him back on
the scene to shoulder the guilt,
and block search for another.
If Guy spoke, his own fate
would be sealed. So the con-
federate was secure. This fel-
low cared for nothing but the
money. He would dispose Of
his captives In the quickest way

This special delivery letter, at
first dismissed as the work of q
crank, was found to have been
written on the same typewriter
as the three other ransom notes.

The letter "B" had the lower

HEALTH HEADS PLAN
TO GROW FLU GERM
Efforts Will Be Made to Find Cure
for Disease, With Innoculation
of Animals Probable.

BY the Associated Press.
The Public Health Service plans to go
into the business OF rearing influenza
germs in an effort to find a cure for
the disease. In this not only is de-
pendence placed on the aid of the serv-
ice personnel but on that of members
OF their families, If they contract in
fluenza.
In that event, Surg. Gen. Cumming
has requested that the Hygienic Lab
oratory be notified, and if the sufferers
volunteer cultures will be taken from
the nose and throat of the persons i'll.
The germs are to be reproduced in spe-
cially prepared media. incubation
later of animals with the germs is seen
as probability and of persons as q
possibility. Before persons are inocu-
lated. however, ample safeguards are to
be established.
Since 1918 influenza germs have been
reproduced by the Rockefeller Institute
in New York, but the actual germ. or
germs. which causes the disease has not
been isolated. 1t is thought they are
small enough to pass through filters
and that they are rodlike in shape.

ing part in development of the Capital
City. especially in bringing the modern
situation into harmony with the orig

compared Washington's harmonious

NEW YORK, January 29.-Forty of
the most experienced enforcement
agents on the staff of Maurice Camp
bell. prohibition administrator, who
failed to pass their civil service exami-
nations in June, 1927, will lose their
jobs by Thursday. BY one way or an
other, Maj. Campbell has managed to
postpone until now the day when these
men, some of whom are reputed to be
the most expert of the night club raid
ers, pay the penalty for their scholastic
incompetence.
Further poStponement being impoSsi-
bic. Maj. Campbell has tried to miti-
gate the pain of parting by permitting
the men to resign before they are au-
tomatically dropped from the rolls.
Mai. Campbell announced that ap-
polntmentS from the civil service regis
tiers already have been made to COM
plete his squad of 200 agents.
Maj. Campbell admitted that these
40 agents failed to pass tests given al
most two years ago. but did not explain
how they have retained their jobs for
many months. He held out a ray of
hope for the men. whose identity he
refused to reveal, by pointing out that
they had taken the second civil service
examinations last December, and that
If they were found to have passed those
tests. they would become eligible for re-
appointment. The December examina-
tions were said to to have been much
easier than the first ones
Maj. Campbell also said that he be-
lieved the New York district force had
come through the first examinations
with one of the highest percentages
of passing marks in the country. How
ever, it is known that requirements of
New York City agents, who failed. have
been made steadily during the last four
or five months, and that the New York
City dry force had more than so per
cent Of failures in the tests The local
force, after February, will be thoroughly
