Mr.. Carlatti roars ~ the bsilih
approaches: "Where's my mouth
piece! This amt Nazzes Goimanyl"
Nora took the oath and began TO
testify in q choked voice. Surely the
woman Jim Haight had tried to do
in would be against him. But Nora
was not against Jim. She made .
superb witness, defending her hus-
band from every charge. She re-
iterated her love for him and her
unquestioning faith in his inno-
cence. Over and over.
Nora's eyes kept coming back TO
the object Of her testimony, . scant
few feet away, who sat with his
face lowered, wearing = dull red
mask Of shame, blinking at the tips
Of his unpublished shoes.
Defense Counsel Martin, who
had put her on the stand for her
psychological value, did not touch
upon the two poisoning attempts
preceding New Years Eve.
Carter Bradford waived cross
examination and the opportunity
to quiz her on those attempts. Per
haps Bradford felt he would lose
more in good will BY grilling Nora
than by letting her 60.
Nora was to have been Judge
Martins last witness; and indeed
he was fumbling with some papers

whether to proceed or not, when Pat
signaled him furiously from inside

CHAPTER TH1RTY-FouR

There was no slightest doubt. In
Ellery's mind about the Haight let
tiers. They had been written by Jim
Haight, and that's all there was to
IL. He wondered what Judge Mar
tin was up to with the unreliable
Mr.. Granville.
He found out at once. els II your
considered opinion, Mr.. Granville"
purred Judge Eli, chat it would be
easy, or difficult. TO forge Mr..
Hsights handwriting"
"Oh, very easy" said Mr.. Gren-
vile.
"Could yo~ forge Mr.. Haight's
handwriting"
Certainly"
"Could you forge Mr.. Haight's
handwriting here and noV?"
"wsll," said Mr.. Granville apollo
getically, "I'd have to study the
handwriting a while-say two min
utes!"
Bradford was on his feet with q
below, and there was . long, in
audible argument before Judge
Nswboh. Finally, the Court al
lowed the demonstration and the
courtroom sat on the edge Of its col
lsctivs seat.
Lorenzo Grenville squinted at the
photostat for about two minutes.
Then he wrote swiftly on the blank
paper.
'T'd do better" he said, "if I had
my own pens TO work with"
Defense Counsel Martin glanced
earnestly at what his witness had
written, and then, with . smile
passed the sheet around the jury
box, together with the photostat of
Jim's undisputed handwriting
From the amazement on the jurors
faces As they compared the photo
stat with Grenville's forgery, FL
lery knew the blow had told.
On cross examination, Carter
Bradford had only one question to
ask the witness.
"Mr. Granville, how many years
has il taken you to learn the art
Of forging handwriting?'
1t seemed Mr.. Granville had
spent most Of his life ut it.

Q.-Has he ever visited your
night club?
A.-Yeah.
Q.-Drinking!
A.-Well, . drink or two. Once

'Q.-Now, Mr.. Carlatti, there hal

Mr.. CIoyton's S Statement

The furor kicked up over the nomi-
nation of Will L. Clayton as Assistant
Secretary of State has been shown
to be lacking in substance by his
testimony before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
When the nomination was an
nounced the complainants attacked
Mr.. Clayton on the ground that he
was "big business" man: that he
and the cotton firm of Anderson,
Clayton & Co., in which he has
stock interest. had been sympathetic
to, If not active advocates Of, the
cartel system, and that his foreign
business interests would interfere
with a proper discharge of his duties
as Assistant Secretary of State.
Mr.. Clayton did not deny that he
had been a "big business" man,
which is a fact and also a principal
reason why he was selected for the
particular responsibilities he is ex-
pected to assume in the State De-
partment. He made an emphatic
and categorical denial, however, that
either he or his Arm had ever
favored the cartel system, and in
sisted that on the contrary he had
always opposed cartels and still op-
posed them. by whatever name they
might be called. Turning then to
the suggestion that his business in
terests might influence his acts as
an official of the Government, Mr..
Clayton said: "The only answer I
know how to make to this Is to say
that II any Senator believes that my
own foreign interests would prevent
me from taking an objective and
patriotic position with reference to
the interests of my country, would
expect him to vote against my con-
firmation."
That Is statement which has
dignity and which carries convic-
tion. Those who know MIR. Clayton
will realize that it is characteristic
OF the man, and it should meet with
favorable reception among the
members of the Senate.

Jobs for Them
From the London sunday Dispatch.

<ioAn tne Lonoon sunday Dispatch.
We in this country are particularly
interested In young Nazis It was the
staggering Luftwaffe youth that In the
long and painful nights of 1910 and 1e41
burned and blasted Britain. Many of
them fell into our hands. We remember
their photographs, arrogant sneertng
and confident that within weeks thev
would be freed by their army and re-
instated as our conquerors. They have
had long time to think It over, but
their time has been spent in pleasanter
circumstances than we have enjoyed,
They have lived comfortably, idly and
In safety, either in this country or in
Canada. They have eaten better, too.
Can we tolerate the idea of nberating
these f1edgling war lords without retri
button? Shall we leave them with the
impression that aggressive war, even IL
you are finally on the losing side, can be
glorious personal experience? Would
II not be wiser to tackle two problems
with one clear thought-to declare our
intention Of handing them over to any
ally who can use their labor in peaceful
reconstruction Let the Germans sweat
out their expiation. The men who
bombed London can build roads in the
Ukraine. The gilded heroes Of the
"Baedeker" raids can bruise their
fingers In Warsaw. And the higher
their rank the more wholesome the

beginning of 1914, for we have only
to look at the map to see how great
ly 1t has been shortened by the giant
amphibious strides made since last
December. Guam graphically illus
trates the point; if Admiral Nimitz
moves there. he will be moving more
than 5000 miles westward from Pearl
Harbor to within about 1900 miles
of Japan proper.
The possibility of such a change
in headquarters, serves to remind us
of a fact which we may sometimes
tend to forget as the war news pours
in from all over the world-the fact
that the past year has been year
in which our power in the Pa
ciflc, coupled with our power in Eu-
rope, has revealed itself as the
mightiest thing of it's kind in history.
Together with the Nazis, the Japa-
nese must know that ultimately 1t
must spell their end.

Number One Priority

In discussing postwar Govern
ment building plans for Washington,
w. E. Reynolds, commission "r of
public buildings. says that Number
One priority in this respect belongs
to the Navy Department. He will
find plenty of support for that allo-
cation. AS he says, the Navy is the
only department which lacks a home
of it's own. 1t is still occupying, with
a conglomeration of temporary ad-
ditions, the same temporary" quar-
ters built for it in the First World
War. And if any department. in WASH
ington deserves a building erect
ed to its own specifications and
needs, it is the Navy
But if that is a sentimental con-
sideration, there are others. Mr..
Reynolds quoted the President as
being most anxious to raze tempo
rary structures as soon as the end
of the war permits it. But little if
anything can be done in that direc-
ton until new Navy building is
constructed. And unless one is be-
gun soon after war is ended, we
shall doubtless witness a repetition
of what happened after the last war
and find that the needs for imme-
diate space outweigh the need to get
rid of the temporary buildings.
The new Navy Department build
ing, on site already acquired on the
river bank near the west end of
Constitution avenue. and completion
of the building originally intended
for the War Department, would per-
init the developers to clean up West
Washington, get rid of the temporary
structures which clutter up the Mall,
and begin the improvement OF East
Capitol street as a great avenue of
public buildings The pressure for
this development already exists in

On the Road to Tokyo

Three years ago this week, Guam,
It's small garrison overwhelmed, fell
to the Japanese. But this first bit
of American soil to be lost in the
war has been so strengthened since
its recap5ure during the Marianas
campaign last summer that reports
from Australia now suggest that it
may soon replace Pearl Harbor as
headquarters for Admiral Nimitz,
commander in chief of our Pacific
Fleet.
The mere fact that such de-
velopment is possible, whether it
takes place or not, is an eloquent
commentary on the vast scope of the
victories scored against the Japa-
nese during the past year. 1t is true
that the road to Tokyo still is long
and that two years or more of the
bitterest kind of fighting may be
required before our forces march
forward over its full length. Yet 1t

defenses, leaving behind some last
ditch resistance groups.
The great danger to the Germans in
Gen. Patch's advance Is that he may
break through on his right, along the
Rhine, and start down the Rhine Valley,
which Is broad and fairly open avenue
leading to Mannheim, Frankfort and
Mainz. It is barred, it is true, by the West
Wall defense just north OF the Franco
German frontier, and the forest called
the Bien Wald is formidable.
But neither forts nor forests will stop
Patch's divisions unless an adequate
number of German troops are found to
hold them. Should Patch make a deep
penetration on German territory in this
area, he would begin to offer q threat
to the left flank of the German troops
facing Pattons Sd Army farther west.
German resistance is stiffening on the Sd
Army front, but it is giving way on the
7th Army front.
But the inescapable dilemma confronts
the Germans here as elsewhere: they
must give up more ground, or they must
find more troops. Possibly they have

OF letting Patch come forward. Then
they will have to stop Patch, or be out
fianked as they try to resist Patton.
There is no end to this process of
attrition except the end which comes
when the Germans are no longer strong
enough to keep on filling the holes in
their front. Then comes q penetration.
Then it IS question of more troops to
counterattack-or the penetration deep
ems, danks are created and then en-
veloped, and = deep withdrawal be-
comes inevitable. The Germans cannot
afford another such disaster as overlook
them when their front in Normandy
broke.
But to prevent it they must keep on
not only patching up the holes in their
lines, but also meeting the menace of
our widening battle fronts. And in the
north the British and Canadian armies
are yet to be heard from
