~ FULTON THATCHER GRANT
CHAPTER TWELVE
DAT

Let US return to our theme Of Sta
vtS1Iy from which we seem, superfic-
tally, at least, to have strayed. France,
under the quiet, firm and upright ef-
forts Of Castor Doumergue was, and
still Is as I write. relinquishing her In
lignation, trying to stabilize, and
above all wedding out the corruption
of her appointed and elected servants
who helped the Russian crook suck
the little people" of France dry, who
ignored their nation in favor OF a
game, who caused the blood Of their
fellow-men to flow In the streets OF
Paris.
The period from February 10 to
February % was peaceful enough.
Strong men sat in Doumergue's cab
met. The Old Man himself accepted
his ministry without a portfolio Like
wise did Tardieu and Herriot Strong
men, good names. safe bets became
the symbol Of this quiet, elderly gen.
tleman's government.
He smiled at his deputies. That
smile saved France.
"Messieurs," he told the Chamber,
Il did not want this ministry. I am
too old. I came because my country
men wanted me. Now II you don't
want me here, will go away. I want
you to vote my budget. want you to
vote my commissions. want you to
give me special powers. If you refuse,
do it now. I'll quit. Please don't re-
fuse. We can, together. save France"
They voted; he won by huge ma
jority.
Stavisky's activities. and those men
involved in them, were to be investi-
gated by special parliamentary COM
mission Of AZ impeccable. unimpeach-
able members. The bloody deeds Of
February were to be investigated by
another similar group Of men. Who
gave that order to fire on the crowd?
Who was responsible? Somebody was
wrong.
And the strong, good sober govern
ment Of an Old Man went on with
little resistance, with little opposition.
The newspapers almost forgot Stavis-
ky. Pages were taken by the doings
Of the cabinet. A budget was passed.
Special powers Of decree were given
to Doumergue. Trade questions were
settled. Tax reductions were studied
and promised.
On February 10 the whole world was
shaken and shocked by the news Of
the death of Albert, King of the Bel
CLANS. Pages were framed in black
and consecrated to eulogies OF this
cavalier king. Vaguely one still knew
that Judge d'Uhalt in Bayonne was
still confronting Tissier with Carat,
or Darius with Dubarry, that Bon
naure was arrested and put in the
villa Chagrin," much to his indigna-
lion. But nobody cared very much.
Stavisky had ceased, for the moment,

Then came February %, and one OF

Another Mysterious Murder
For several years I have made q
practice Of taking my breakfast of
coffee and croissants In . decent
clean, comfortable coffee-house at the
corner Of the Boulevard Saint Ger
main and the rue Saint Benoit. It is
called the Cafe de F1ore and Is fire.
quented by numerous Americans,
largely newspaper men and their
wives, and people more or less con-
nected with writing. The owner and
Madame are present every day, and
they act as hosts-at-hame to their
clientele, French or foreign-especial-
" to those Of long standing. OF the
French element, which is naturally
predominant, large number of the
Flores clients are prominent lawyers.
judges, distinguished men-of affairs
and members Of the government.
One day in the fall Of 1888 l sat
next to rather fine looking gentle
man who was busily absorbed in some
manuscript while slipping his coffee.
1t was very early In the morning
about eight o'clock, which IS early in
France-and I was in the midst OF
reading my daily stint of morning
newspapers, numbering about twelve.
The waiter came to me very quietly
and said that the Monsieur next to
me would like to know II I had fin
ishted the New York Herald and. II
SO, whether I would have the extreme
Kindness to permit him to glance at
1t for the merest moment. I did. He
smiled his thanks. And that was all.
He returned the paper and left the
cafe some ten minutes later. The
waiter, when he collected my money
informed me gratuitiously that the
gentleman was Monsieur Albert
Prince, counsellor at the Court Of APP
peals. did not care If he was. It
meant nothing to me. The fact re-
NAMED IN my subconscious mind suf-
ficiently. however, SO that on several
subsequent occasions I recognized the
same gentleman at the Flore, regu-
lar client and apparently well-known
to the house. Sometimes he came for
evening coffee with a woman whom
I judged to be his wife. Occasionally
I saw him at breakfast time. We
never spoke.
I would not have mentioned this
except for one fact: On the morn
ing Of February 20, this same gentle
man with strong, carvan features and
a neat black moustache. was Just fin
ishing his coffee and paying the walt
er as came for my breakfast. Thurs
day morning. February %, in the same
seat Of the same cafe de F1ore, I OPP
ened my paper and read that Coun-
sellor Albert Prince had been found
murdered on the railroad track near
Dion.
The rest Of the story is dramatic
history.

THOSE ASSESSOR REPORTS
Baldwin, N. %.

Editor Tribune:

EQlGOT 1ElOuIle.
Nova days our mother earth has
become an experiment station. We
are all hoping for the best and all
expect to see each other In heaven
some day If our reward here on earth
will warrant 1t. We are wondering
what we did to cause this terrible
drouth. have once expressed in the
Tribune about the drouth. I can not
change that opinion. I do not claim
that I am right entirely. but can
not agree that radios are nature.
At present we are experimenting In
the corn-hog adjustment act. I am
satisfied that our government at
Washington, D. c., does mean to be
fair and square with everyone and
IL any one does not get the honest
deal Washington, D. c., Is not to
blame. I have carefully examined
the corn-hog contract statements in
your paper, Il am in it,. have care
fully compared my figures with those
whom know personally, and I had
to start In guessing. Did the press
make a mistake? Where Is the mis-
take? II our officials who administer
this act locally are taking the figures
from the assessors report, I beg to
make this statement that such report
Is not reliable.
You may be assessed in April and
you could not be sure how much
corn you would put in. II you are pro-
vided with the proper hog barn, you
can have your sows to furrow in jan
uary and raise the pigs and sell the
vows before the assessors ever think
81 assessing and nine times out OF
ten those sows are never mentioned

This is my viewpoint about the
assessors report.

Winona, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The whole
Of the Upper Mississippi Is being re-
built by man.
! So extensive Is this shave and hair
cut that Is being given Old Man
River that President Roosevelt will
see only . part OF the widespread
project. Instead Of the single huge
dam which is the nucleus Of most of
the great river developments, the
Upper Mississippi work includes ~
smaller dams between Minneapolis
and st. Louis, each passed by boats by
means Of locks.
The president will see three OF them
in the course Of his 47-mile river trip
from Lake City to Winona. Each
will create large lake In place Of q
swift flowing river, and will spread
over thoussn ds Of acres Of the wooded
bottomlands of Little Switzerland"
This section is so called because Of
its scenic beauty. The river is bord-
cred by towering wooded bluffs of
strange formation.
A recent allotment Of $4,000, 900
has been made. most OF 1t for this
work on the Upper Mississippi, in
addition to the So, 000, 900 already
allotted. This has furnished work for
$500 workmen on all Is projects, with
a still larger number given indirect
employment.
The entire scheme is to cost $l24,-
100000. It was adopted by Congress
in 1880 and 1t was then expected that |
1t would take 10 or Is years to COM
plete. Work moved slowly. But last
summer President Roosevelt ordered
the work made part Of the nationwide |
Unemployment plan Of the Public |
Works Administration. Money was
allotted from the PWA, and now the
whole thing should be completed by
1895, giving nine-foot channel from
the Twin Cities to the gulf.
-Four complete sets Of locks and
dams have already been finished In
this section. Sixteen are under con-
struction. and seven are In the PLAN
ming stage. They will run along the !
rivers course all the way to st. Louis,
with q large dam at Alton, just above |
that city, where Huckleberry Finn !
and Tom Sawyer's river caves can
still re seen.
Employment of more than 5000 men
during the winter Is q great boom
to this section, helping q hard-beset
state to bear the burden OF unemploy-
ment.

United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. %. (UP)-
Americas part in winning the
World War and the preponderant
Importance of her military inter
vention gradually is emerging
with publication of the memoirs
of allied war statesmen.
Publication of the fourth vol
ume of David Lloyd Georges
"War Memoirs" has thrown more
light on the vital Importance OF
Americas part.
Ever since the Armistice Amer
ica's military part in bringing the
war to victorious end has been
deprecated widely in Europe.
One of the principal reasons was
that the Allies did not want to
pay their war debts.

ing documents which were hith-
erto secret given a different pic

In letter to President Wilson
on September 3, 1917, Lloyd
George said:
