THE cloud was tearing toward

edges Of the great cloud mass
Shreds of spume Whirled and twisted
above the angry waves. And then
the storm struck the ship, laying it
over on its side.
What ensued was appalling to a
mountaineer, unaccustomed to the
seattle chaos of watery mountains,
tumbling, rolling, lashing at the
wallowing ship; the shrieking wind;
the driving, binding spume; the

The face of Bohar was an ashen

his ugly scar stood out in startling
contrast. He looked at Tanar and
Stellara, but he passed them by,
murnbling to himself.
Beyond them was The Cid,
screaming orders that no one could

The Bloody One screaming at his

"The boats-lower the boats! The

1t was apparent, even to lands
man, that no small boat could live
in such a sea, even if one could have
been lowered. The Cid paid no at

where he was, bawling commands.

'It is the end!" cried Stellara.
Bohar screamed like dumb brute
into the agony of death. The Cid
knelt on the deck, his face buried in
his arms. Tanar stood watching,
fascinated by the terrifying might
of the elements. He saw men shrink
to puny insignificance before a gust

day that the japanese had opened ne
gotiations with Gen. Nah Chan-Shan,

His capital would be Tsitsihar, the

Gen. Nah is recognized as the only

"CIique" for Failure to

Bitterly arraigning the CLIQUE Of

ing sway in the Navy Department, Mai.
Gen. Smedley d. Butler, who retired
recently from the Marine Corps,

motion to be commandant of the corps
merely because he was not a graduate
Of the United States Naval Academy.
In lengthy article in the current

Suffered Humiliation.
Detailing how the "shipless admirals"
jumped an Annapolis man over him in
selecting a new commandment of the
corps in which he served for 80 years,
Gen, Butler recited that he was
Inundated" by administration officials
in connection with two international
incidents" in which he has figured.
In this connection Gen. Butler
brings the White House and the State
Department into the picture.
Referring to the admirals as 1.-THE
poison-gas squad" the retired general
declares its success has been marked.
The fumes seem to have penetrated
even to the White House"
One Of these incidents was Gen.
Buffers remarks about Mussolini, for
which, he states, he was placed under
arrest by telephone by direct personal
order of the PRESIDENTIAL to no pur-
pose, for the court-martial was not
held and never was given an oppor-
tunity to present my side"
The other incident was a statement
by the Haitian Minister raising doubt
OF the existence of Fort Riviere, for the
capture of which Congress conferred
medals OF honor on Gen. Butler and
two Of his aides.
Cites Lame Excuse"
Placing this incident in comparison
with the handling of the Mussolini case
Gen. Butler writes:
When the shoe was on the other
foot, however, and the Haitian Minister
to the United States insulted me, the
State Department accepted a weak and
lame excuse and did not insist upon an
apology to me as well as to the Marine
Corps or the Navy Department"
Gen. Butler attributes his fate OF
having been allegedly barred from any
further promotion in military service
on the fact that "at the very mature
age of 16, when the spirit of war was
sweeping our Nation, stirred the blood
of the young, erred most previously

were killed in a sharp battle late yes
terday at Kaotsishan, when two Japa-
nese companies routed $50 Chinese
troops, according to an official report
received here today.
The Japanese force was a railway
guard from Chuliuho, composed of a
company Of infantry and one Of engi-
neers. They were fired upon, the re-
port said, from the Chinese position on
a neighboring hill.
The fighting ended at z pm, when

fed, leaving many rifles and trench
mortar behind them.
One japanese officer and eight men
were wounded, in addition to the four
killed. The Japanese returned to
Chuliuho.
japanese troops captured the town
of Sinminfu, so miles west Of Mukden
