 The Ranking government an nounced the immediate acceptance of the League of Nations proposal for the establishing of a neutral zone in Manchuria between Chin ese and Japanese forces.
 Marshal Chang Heuseh Liang, deposed Manch urfa governor, agreed at Tokyo, that he would withdraw his troops from Chin Chow on the condition that the Japanese troops along the, Peiping- Mukden railroad be withdrawn.
 The foregoing developments frightened prospects for peace but an unofficial spokesman at the Japanese headquarters said that the Chinese are lnassing troops in southwest Manchuria, between Chin Chow and Tahu Shan while the Japanese have not almost com pletely withdrawn from this recent danger zone.
 The Chinese, the sanofficial spokesman said, are apparently ad- vancing as the Japanese are re- tiring and are taking over the areas as evacuated.

HIGHER PAY SOUGHT AS IN- CENTIVE FOR YOUNG MEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, (P-- Secretary of Navy Adams direct ed the administration anew to the sentiment in the Navy for larger appropriations.
 At the forefront of his annual repoqt the Navy Secretary told President Hoover that the Navy has to be kept in tip-top shape as it will thus serve not only as deterrent to war itself but also be adequate for combat if nec- essary.
 Tt should be borne in mind that many of the most experienc- ed officers feel that amounts reaS enable in excess of those being an- nually appropriated could be used advantageously. Tn fact it is e.s- sential to provide adequately for the Navy's minimum requirements withing treaty rights, the Navy Secretary also said in his report.
 Adams repeated his recommen- dation of last year for higher pay, if or when economic conditions per init, as an incentive for young men to join the Navy and also be will ing to advance themselves in that organization.

Jack laughed nervously. II told
you 1t was bluff" He turned to the
judge and said vehemently, "The girl
doesn't want to marry him. This
foreign CRATER is after her money"
Roberta gave little gasp. She slid
to her knees beside the bed, put her
arms about his neck and her lips close
to his ear.
"George-do you really love me?
Aunt Aggy said-you did,
At the moment, Sir George, dunn
founded at Aggy's audacity, could not
speak. Then it came to the man sud-
denly that here was just a bewildered,
frightened little reG-headed girl. Such
a surge of tenderness went through
him al the touch of her lips on his
ear hat his whole body trembled.
His eye met hers steadily. Roberta's
eyelids dropped.
"Don't be silly little fox" he said
and put a bandaged hand on hers.
IF this is Aggy's plan how can We go
far wrong?'
AS he looked at her, he knew in
stantly that it was no thought of her
own dilemma that was causing the
girl to turn to him. He doubted II

silence every slanderous tongue if she
was to return TO the island as Lady

You'll make him sign the certif-

make him laughing stock in his own
refined circle. If that doesn't remove
him from our path I'll take gun. I'm

''No guns" said Judge Arlett disap-
provingly. "I don't hold with them.
But I'd offer this dark-complected
young fellow the chance to sign and
get away while the going's good"

Robert Macbeth was growing anx-
ious. He had been wheeled out to
watch the distant fire. but that had
long since died down and it grew dark
with Roberta and Sir George still
missing, and no word from them.
There was much excitement on the
part of the guests from New York,
because the bridge was gone There
was no direct communication with
the other side now. so they must go
further down the river and cross at
Bridgetown for their return. 1t meant
they must leave earlier. Lady Sandi-
son hustled about, arranging for an
early supper. and for time there
was so much hurry and excitement
that the absence of daughter and Sec
retary was apparently forgotten.
When they had all gone. Ray Browne
had time to wonder why the secretary
did not return with his car.
Sir George and Roberta! What did
it mean? He glanced at Robert Mac
Beth sitting silent beside him and
tried to guess what he was thinking.
They watched the long procession of
cars returning from up the river and
from watching the fire. Still no word
from either Roberta or Sir George
Browne felt he must make light of
the fact that the two had not re-
turned, for Robert MacBeth's sake
Something wrong with my car. The
