In the lobby an immense wooden

and hundreds Of small black snails,
contentedly nibbling.
She decided against breakfast.
Went out and stood on the street
in front Of the hotel. Two French
sailors, their red-pompommed blue
caps set on at . raldsh angle,
paused in their promenade to eye
her with interest.
She went back into the hotel. She
was hungry, anyway.
In the dining room, slipping

she saw . pleasant faced blonde
young woman who might answer to
her description Of Susanne Coin.
It was Susanne, and she vas de-
lighted to learn that she would
have company to Paris, and aghast
to think that she had not met the
boat, but she had not known that
Miss Lansing would Be on it!
Lily Lou didn't argue the point.
She was getting used to people
making = fuss over you one minute
and forgetting you the next.
So Susanne had another cup Of
chocolate with Lily Lou. "Never
try to drink French coffee, it's vile, /"
she advised her, eountermanding

Acquiescent q usual, Lily Lou
drank the chocolate and let her new
friend take charge Of the luggage.
On the train they had . compart-

were displayed in liveliness. A
Paris Of cafes and parties, Of

CHAPTER THIRTY.EIGHT


The truth was that Lily Lou, who
had been unused to change, had
had so much of it in the last six
months that she was beginning to
accept it as q perfectly natural part
Of life.
There was the landing at Liver
pool, q sort of spotless town, all
laid out in orderly buildings, all as
much alike as possible, and lunch
in a big and rather cheerless hotel
with Madame Mailman inclined to
pace the floor and buttonhole clerks
and managers because there was
no mail for her, and someone who
was supposed to have met her had
failed to arrive.
Grumbling, she decided to 60
back to the station. There was q
short ride through green English
country, in one of those queer
European trains with seats for six
in q compartment, and . corridor
along one side. Then London. A
London Of immense, stone station,
decorative British policemen ma
jestically ordering = very British
traffic, cold, damp rain, and then
two nights in q rather chilly hotel.
During that time she saw Madame
Mailman, whose room was on an
other floor, just once.
At that time she kissed Lily Lou
fondly, called her her own darling
little companion, and told her that
she couldn't have borne two days
in this frightful, depressing place
without her. Then she disappeared,
not to appear again until it was
time to take the train for South
ampton, and then . night boat ia
lie Havre where . certain Mad
emoiselle Susanna Coin, maid and
companion, was to be picked up.
Then she appeared only long
enough to tell Lily Lou to go on
alone, she had decided to make the
Observation-Disclosures crossing after
all, and would meet her in Paris at
the Ritz, day after tomorrow, land

New York, May 3.-On the avenues,
Easter Day, were top-hats and fox
furS, Malacca sticks and orchids.
Down at No. ST Doyer Street, just
off the Bowery, 600 people sat on
wooden benches. No top-hats here.
A few clutches, but no polished sticks.
A few velvet-collared overcoats, but
they were old coats, held with safety
pins. Tom Noonan, the Bishop
of Chinatown" raised lanky arms.

Some Socialist members OF the
Belgian Parliament have introduced a
bill to repeal law passed on Mach o,

the battlefield OF Waterloo. Its enact
ment followed a strong agitation in this
country to keep it intact as historical
monument.
Pressure is being exerted on the
government to make friendly represen-
Lations to the Belgian government to
prevent the building over OF the famous
battle site. It is asserted by Belgian
supporters of the building project that
the site now is urgently required for
dwellings, but that the historic farms
on it will not be touched.

Buddhists Condemn
Modern Literature

FEIPING.-Pious Chinese Buddhlsts,
seeking methods for comforting and
entertaining wounded Chinese soldiers,
ruled out the modern Chinese novel in
favor Of the professional story-teller.
There is no spiritual uplift in the
modern Chinese novel," your corre-
spondent was told by the abbot secre-
tary of the Chu Shih Lin Buddhist
Association here. 1T was originally
our idea to supply wounded soldiers in
the various hospitals Of Peiping with
light literature, but scrutiny OF the
supply available on the local market
shows few works of wholesome nature
Modern Chinese writers emphasize that
sepsual side of life far too much, and II
is better for the soldiers to hear from
the lips of story-tellers the tales OF ex-
ploits of China's national heroes great

Accordingly, the Peiping Buddhist

The eyes of military engineers scanned
the broad map Of the United States in
quest of site that measured up to
these specifications. When they stopped
at a sleepy little spot in Northern Ala
bama, the moment marked the begin
ming OF one of the most vivid power
dramas in American history. Thereto
fore unknown except locally, Muscle
Shoals Immediately leaped into prom
inent position at the top Of page l OF
the newspapers, a place it has Surren-
dered only Internationally ever since.
What is Muscle Shoals? Briefly this:
A 37-mile stretch in the flaShy Ten
nessee River, in the course of which the
water drops 1877 feet in series Of falls
and rapids. ''Flashy" is an engineers
colorful descriptive adjective. 1t Is ap-
piled to streams Of water which vary
greatly in volume and rate OF flow.
Just how apt the term is as applied to
the Tennessee River is demonstrated
in the fact that its discharge has been
known to vary from 1880 cubic feet per
second to 5000 cubic feet From
trickle to torrent!
500 900 Horsepower Capacity.
Just what this means in the develop
ment Of hydroelectric power is indi-
Gated in the fact that the Muscle
Shoals project is capable CT generating
600 009 horsepower of current.
When the Government decided to go
into the nitrate business for the sake
of national security, this area OF the
temperamental and tempestuous little
river was being utilized by the Ala
bama Power Co. The development, de-
signed to supplement the steam plants
of the utility company, was infintesimal,
of course. as compared with that visual
lied by the military representatives OF
Uncle Sam.
The genesis of the gigantic project
is to be found in the national defense
act passed June 3, 1916. 10 months be-
fore the United States entered the
World War. Section 124 of that act
reads: The President Of the United
States is further authorized to
construct. maintain, and operate, at or
on any site or sites so designated, dams,
locks, improvements to navigation,
power houses, and other plants and
equipment or other means than water

MilitariZatiOn of All Schools
Sought to Build China's Army

PEIPING.-Despite the possession of
what is numerically the greatest stand
ing army in the world, the Chinese gov
ernment is urgently pressing forward
its campaign for complete "militariza-
ton" of the schools. Compulsory mill
tary training has been introduced now
in 178 middle schools and colleges in
II provinces, according to statement
published by the department of mill
tary training OF the, central government
at Marking.
Although estimates place the number
of men under arms in China at between
two and quarter and two and half
million men, with an additional three
million schooled in the use of a rife,
government military authorities are not
satisfied with the caliber of men en-
listed under Chinese colors
Even If we had a hundred million
soldiers in China of the illiterate coolie
type" Gen. Chang Kai-shek, highest
chieftain of the government forces, re-

Recently Gen. Chang decreed that
special committees on military training

Roosevelt's firm but conciliatory ap-

difficulties remain is equally clear

November to get Germany back into
the Disarmament Conference. The
time has perhaps come to resort to it
once more. The next few days will tell.
Meanwhile, nobody knows exactly
what the real situation is in the mat
ter of disarmament. Some of the ques-
tions which must be answered before
much progress can be made are these:
Is the United States ready to talk
consultative pact and embargo against
an aggressor Immediately, and even if
President Roosevelt is prepared: can he
secure the backing of Congress?
Does Hitler's Reichstag speech really
mean that Germany has abandoned its
recent position and cause of recent ex-
citenlent, to the effect that, unless the
other powers cut promptly to the Ger
man level Germany will arm up to
theirs?
If Germany agrees within five years
to replace the ReichsTehr by small
conscript army. will it insist that the
United States and Great Britain also
adopt conscript armies, and will it
abandon its opposition to the French
colonial professional army?
Meanwhile does Germany demand
both to keep the Reichswehr and to
build up conscript army?
Other Issues Grave.
Does Hitler's speech mean that Ger
many wishes to occupy and fortify the
demilitarized Rhineland on the grounds
that this is a logical consequence OF
President Roosevelt's plea?
Have the British ana French aban-
doned all intention of forcing an inves-
tigation of Germany's real military sit
uation with a view to ascertaining
whether the treaty of Versailles is
really being broken, and to what ex-
tent?
Do they consider Germany still bound
BY the Versailles treaty's military
clauses, and, If so, does Germany ADMIT
this?
