While no one would send young
inductees into combat zones
without adequate training, there
are objections to its restrictions.
We do not know what the war
situation will be in the summer
of 1913. The course of wisdom is
to prepare for. the worst, while
hoping for the best. If American
soldiers are hard-pressed abroad
next summer and need help. the
young men now about to begin
training would not be permitted
by the Senate to assist them,
even if they volunteered.

ment one night about week be-
fore HUMPHREYS got bumped off.
HUMPHREYS threatens to WEIGH on
his debt if Riley doesn't quit
bounding him.
well, Beckett tells HUMPHREYS,
then, that if he tries anything like
that he'll take care of him proper.
How does it sound to your" Lake
concluded.
Hinton was silent for a moment.
Then he said, Il hardly think
Beckett is the kind of guy who'd
bump anyone off for a gambling
debt unless he particularly dis
liked the person"
Hinton chewed on his knuckles,
then appeared to make up his
mind. However, I think you
ought to bring him in. Don't ar
rest him, of course. Just tell him
I want a nice friendly chat with
him"
He looked at his watch. 'It's too
early for him to be at the club.
You'll probably find him at his
apartment"
A slight drizzle was falling
when Lake left headquarters with
another detective. The streets
were slippery and they had to
drive slowly. Twenty minutes
later they slowed down near the
sumptuous apartment house where
Riley Beckett lived.
Lake just had turned off the
motor when two men ran from
the apartment entrance and
dashed to a dark green car parked
on the same side of the street.
Lake looked at them sharply.

Beckett nearly always had at
