Foreign diplomats use the word "civil-
lied" to describe him.
"He has graet character and a complete
appreciation of moral values" according
to one of them
The reputation for never having made a
mistake has been accrued in % years of
diplomacy. 1t was his chosen career. He
took his degrees in political science from
the Imperial University, went directly into
the foreign once and then saw service at
Versailles, in China and the United States.
Never spectacular, his prestige comes
frun caution and sureness, rather than
brilliance. Colleagues say he has perfect
record in every job he ever held

probably the best-lnformed of all Japanese

ing arcs, sweeping from boundless friend

ton to amusement.
In 1923, after the great earthquake,
Americans gave Japan nearly $1,000, 900,
and American warships raced to Yokohama

In respect to the present China war,
Japanese hear on the one hand, that
America is neutral Then they read
speeches by officials of the American Gov

League of Nations
They see the United States calling dis
armament conferences. And then they
learn that the Vinson bill has passed, au-
thorlzing the greatest naval building pro-
gram in history. They don't believe Amer
lea wants war with Japan, but they are
sure the super-Navy is being built, as the
Admiralty spokesman said, With Japan
as possible objective
The Japanese mind reels in dizzy spirals
over these apparent contradictions.
Consequently, the Ambassador to the
United States is large star in the japanese
diplomatic armament. Complete confidence
rests in Horinouchi. He knows America
and the American mind. He was Consul
General in New York and later councillor
of embassy in Washington. Returning to
Japan, he became director of the American
bureau in the foreign Office. Besides, he

men believe that their replacement with
modern types as soon as possible is vital
to the preservation Of United States sea
power.
Navies cannot be built overnight. The
construction of battleship requires more
than three years. Only handful of-six
or eight-navy yards in the United States
have the facilities for building the larger
types of vessels. Hence, no monster naval
building program can be put into effect at
once.
The administration, however, has en-
tered on . program of orderly, consistent
building which should, within few years,
establish American naval prestige at a
historical peak World political conditions

Whether the press lords desire for COM
pulsory service is shared by the common
folk who read their papers is something else
again.
However, there is no doubt but that the
masses believe Chamberlain took the only
alternative at Munich and that they are
willing to follow him in at least a mild
form of national organization.
The government, once it has put its
own house in order, is expected therefore
to introduce something in the nature Of a
national register.
This would help solve the problem poised
by precise Sir John Simon in q recent
speech.
Cites Greater Efficiency.
If the willing citizen of fortnight ago
had known beforehand where he was
wanted, he would have been able to render
to his country an indefinitely greater serv-
ice If he had had his allotted task, If he
had trained for it, If he had learned to
know his colleagues. and if he knew from
whom he should take orders, the efficiency
of those volunteers would be multiplied one
hundredfold"
Training Of civilians in anti-aircraft de-
fense already has started with orga anization
Of light anti-aircraft units of the terri
torial army reserve to protect vital fac
tories Middle-aged workers at the fac
tories are being recruited for the units, on
a voluntary basis, of course
Significantly Sir John pointed out: Com
| pulsion is not the same thing as organiza-
| ton"
| This question of man power is consid-
cred the basic problem in the big gaps
which must be filled.

minutes Chamberlain stared at the great
square Of paper with its colored sections.
He showed nght He upbralded Hitler.
He complained that he had been shabbily

Flanked by Germans and followed by his

Of man who has suddenly been confronted

When he finally returned to London, he
stepped from the plane terribly worried
man. His lips were drawn back from his
teeth as he faced the microphone. His
eyes were sunken. He was pale, and when
he spoke, he attempted with an apparent
effort to overcome the huskiness that
threatened to overcome him. In the
short period of his absence from London
he seemed to have aged dozen years.

of stairs directly in front of him. He
heard a mufied curse and voice say
"Capek!"
Tins blood froze. capek! The
mere name gave him an overpowering
sense of dread. Capek hated coppers
If Capek were at the head of the
stairs it meant-Tim fought against
the urge to flee, to rush toward the
blessed security of the murky street
A picture of Sergt Moriarty's smile
crossed his mind. He understood
now what that smile had meant. It
was sheer, not smile. It meant
that Moriarty believed he couldn't
take it.
Tins mouth set grimly So that's
what they thought q him, Ell? Well,
he'd show EN-!

Subdued, sneering laughter from
the head of the stairs. Come ahead!"
TIM gripped his service pistol in one
hand and the fashlight in the
other. He squirted the beam up the
funnel Of stairs. He was fool. The
glory wasn't worth it, but they'd never
say he was yellow.
He started up the stairs two at a
time. Binding flashes of light stabbed
at him from the darkness above. The
roar of guns and acrid odor of burn
ing powder filled his ears and nose.
He supposed they had hit him. He
didn't see how they could miss. But
he kept on, feeling no pain or numb
ness.
Halfway up the stairs he began to
shoot. BY the time he had reached
the top his gun was empty. He
hurled it into the darkness and
hurled himself after it. His body
plumbed up against heavy form.
Arms closed about him, viselike. hold
ing him still. Light beams jabbed at
him out of the darkness.
Some one laughed. A voice said !:
'Nice going. Tim. You'll do all right. u

up into the grinning face Of Sergt.

in the background. Some one handed

Tim grinned weakly. He wiped

trembly. He thought once he was
going to faint. but Sergt. Moriartys
arm was still around him.

Sergt Moriarty had told him that
the Canal street beat would be his
initiation to the force-a sort of test
to find out whether he could take it.
If man could handle Canal street
he could handle anything; that was
the slogan of the force.
Tim had leaped at the chance.
He had felt pretty sure of himself,
of the record he had made at the
pistol shoot which was part of his
training. He had felt pretty proud
of his smart new uniform and shining
badge. Canal street had no qualms
for him. He welcomed the oppor-
tunity to show the stuff he was
made Of
Tim held his watch so that it caught
the feeble rays of the street lamp.
One fifteen. Suddenly he stiffened
Across the street a skulking figure
appeared in the glimmer of the street
lamp, hesitated moment, then dis
appeared. Silence. Slowly Tim re-
Taxed. Nothing wrong with that
Nothing unusual about man walking
along the street at lis in the morn
ing. Distantly he heard the muff1ed
deep-toned whistle of a river boat
He gripped his club firmly and started
across the street, annoyingly conscious
of impending danger.
The roar of an approaching auto
mobile smacked against his ears. He
jumped to avoid being hit as it skidded
around corner, flashing through the
fog filtered light. and disappeared into
the blackness of Canal street. A mo-
ment later Tim heard the squeal OF
brakes Then a shot. Then three
more shots and mans terrified
scream.
Tim started to run. The prickling
- sensation had disappeared, but
his hands felt clammy. Half block
down Canal street he came upon the
automobile, one front wheel on the
sidewalk, its motor still running. A.
he pounded along the pavement 6
crouching figure darted from beside
the car, rapidly mounted fight o.

Tim yelled a throaty command II

Tim galloped up the steps, The dool

Instinctively Tim leaped to one side

unnaturally loud. He tried to still it
realizing it was a certain indication
Of his location.
