What bearing the resignation may- have upon the
Signing of the treaty with'Germany, is problematical, but
if Orlando remains out a further postponement is likely,
for the reason that it will take at least a few days to or
ganize and duly authorize an entirely new Italian peace
delegation.
THE PRESIDENT IN BELGIUM
A day or two before' President Wilson arrived
Belgium, correspondents at Brussels sent out lengthy dis
patches picturing the lack of enthusiasm with which the
American executive would be greeted upon his arrival.
Belgium's reception was to be in tjhe nature of a final,
almost exasperated, appeal for consideration in the ap
portionment of reparations and indemnities, it was said
It was added that feeling in Belgium was rather intense
because the impression prevailed that the country had
not received fair treatment at the peace congress^ in
Paris, and that\much of the general disappointment was
due to the attitude and policy of the president of the
United States.

Someone in the Belgian capital speaks about the
"almost frigid atmosphere'* of the people whose visitor
Mr. Wilson now is, and ascribes it to the fact that the
distinguished American did not pay a visit to Belgium
during the early days of his Kuropean sojourn the pres
ent journey is being undertaken merely for the sake of
appearances, one Belgian writer is quoted as saying.
Forecasts are all right—when they are correct and
have- their origin in sound reasoning. Otherwise they are
merely ridiculous, as was the advance picture drawn of
Belgium's reception of lfr. Wilson. For Associated Press
dispatches now inform us that the spontaneity of the
greeting which Belgians extended to their, guest was very
conspicuous, and that there could be no doubt whatso
ever as to the deep sincerity of the welcome. In ac
claiming the president, Belgians apparently also want
to emphasize that they are full of gratitude toward the
American nation for all it did from the very early days
of the war in the direction of alleviating suffering
throughout the devastated country.
Mr. Wilson, on his side, did a most gracious thing
by announcing his readiness to suggest t» thrf congress
that the post at Brussels be elevated from a legation to
an embassy, aad that the diplomatic representative of
the United States be clothed with the rank fugd authority
of ambassador instead of jninister.
A country which is not politically a power of \h
first magnitude, is apt to appreciate voir profoundly
the pplrlt that prompts such a suggestion. a*d we may
feel certain that thb president's announcement will fur
ther cement the solid bonds of friendship and affection
exUtlng between the Belgisin and the American peoples.

THE PASSING OF ORLANDO
Vittorlo Orlando, who has offerej^the resignation
of hia cabinet to the ltins, was one of Italy's strongest
men as tony aa he remained i« Um high poet of premier
At home as well aa in Parle Orlando was usually
sidered an Mtate politician and a shrewd statesman, and
even though some of his important opinions at times ran
counter te those held by representatives of other Allied
nations, they were generally respected because they were
the result of close study and assiduous observation.
At the time of the present writing, information re
garding: the Italian cabinet crisis is rather m^ger, b\jt
from what has reached thl| country it appears that Or
lando has'Biade a tactical blunder at a time when it is
imperative to keep heads clear and hands steady. The
very force of the majority of the members of the cham
ber of deputies who gave him a vote of no confidence
Indicates that there are some elements back of the de
velopment which are not yet known here, and it is so
much the more surprising as it is but a few wejfks
since that very same chamber of deputies overwhelming
ly asserted its confidence in the premier.
Among contributary reasons for the collapse of the
Orlando cabinet the insistence on a secret session for
the discussion of certain delicate foreign problems seems
to be an important one. It is characteristic, also, in that
it shows the trend of the public mind since the question
of secret diplomacy has become intensely timely. Even
though the controversy between the cabinet and the
chamber of deputies may have been particularly bitter,
it must be conceded that such friction at Just this time
is exceedingly unfortunate because of its direct influence
upon the joint policy of the Allied nations. It will not
result in any change of front with regard to the peace
treaty—for the stage of changes has irrevocably passed
—but it will serve to indicate a lack of harmony between
one of the principal governments and its people, and it
is probable that the Flume problem wMch, despite Ital
ian declarations, has not been finally settled, may once
more be injected into the peace negotiations with the re
sult that further postponement will become necessary.
Unless the Italian king refuses to accept the resignation
of the Orlando cabinet, new men will have to be sent
from Rome to Paris, and that undoubtedly will be
synonomous with a renewed lengthy discussion of the is
sues which mainly concern Italy and her part of the
peace treaty with Austria.

ment places are reaping a golden harvest, dancing halls
are filled to suffocation, and in the restaurants cham
pagne flows In heavy, golden currents. Numerous gam
bling joints have suddenly sprung up. In Berlin, and the
authorities appear to be willing to blink at the mopt fla
grant violations, of municipal ordinances.
Theodor Wolff, editor of the Berliner Tageblatt, is
ont of the public men of his country who sees the men
ace of such an attitude, and in a signed editorial he has
recently found occasion to voice what is undoubtedly the
view of .all that world which lies outside Germany for
a
"It is disgusting to "behold, in fateful days like these,
all the walls and fences of the city filled with dancing
posters in ..slightly veiled sentences they promise quite
frankly a number of virtually indecent pleasures. Will
not a stranger be Justified in believing that a nation who
in the saddest hour of Its entire history permits this
sort of thing to go on, IS ripe fpr slavery?"
The danee of desperation is a dance of death, and
if^the conditions obtaining in the largest German cities!
are in any way-typical of the general attitude^of the peo
ple, It seems as though the nation is not yet quite ripe
for even a mere formal association with other nations
of the world.
THE SEASON OF PICNICS
Just now while farmers' picnios and reunions are be
ing'held In many parts of the Red River Vallejf, it may
be opportune to call attention to one feature ofv these
gatherings which becomes increasingly conspicuous as
years go by: It is the lessening of the distance between
city and country.
Time was when the distance separating townspeople
and farmers was far greater than could be expressed
merely in terms of miles there was mutual suspicion,
mutual jealousjt and much hesitation in accepting out
stretched hands. During certain periods it actually look-
ed as though the country and city were two wholly dis
tiuct worlds, each with its own joys and sorrows, each
with its own ideals or prejudices.
That, has passed, and one of the unmistakable signs
that it has, is the growing popularity-of the farmers' pic
nics which are attended'largely by people from the cities.
The discovery has been made that there is no dividing
difference between the man who cultivates the soil and
the man who purchases and resells his products. They
are alike in their way of thinking their interests 'are
identical, and the goals for which they a^e striving are
the very same.
It is not only the commercial ties between country
and city that have been strengthened it is every other
tie, and the result is the development'of that wonderful
community spirit which works against narrow-minded
ness and encourages^), friendship which extends far be
yond the limits of mere commerce.
Against that spirit a fight is being waged by a clique
of unscrupulous politicians in our own state. They go on
preaching the obsolete and destructive doctrine of class
hatred and class prejudice and go to extreme measures
in their efforts to create a schism bet^eef# the people of
the country and the people of the city.
Such efforts ire foreordained to end disastrously—
for those who spend their time in making them. Political,
narrow-mindedness and pettine^ cannot fifht effective-,
ly against that community spirit which spells success for
farmers as well as for townspeople, and every time-farm
ers and city dwellers gather at picnics or other festivo
gatherings, they demonstrate once more that they will
adhere to the ideals which teach that tjiere is no differ
ence: All are alike, all are Americans, and one's work
is as necessary as that of the other.
Efforts to stir up any sentiment in contrast with the/
community spirit are as futile as tfiey are reactionary.
That's the message of the gatherings now held in numer
ous groves and parks throughout this section of the coun
try.
WAITING FOR THE ANSWER
There is no lack of prophecy as to what Germany
intends to do with the final draft of the peace conditions
handed to her representatives last Monday, but it ap
pears that nearly all forecasts are based on an insuffi
ciency of actual information, that it is, in short, nothing
but guesswork. Even members of the American peace
delegation in Paris say that while they are convinced
that the German signature will be forthcoming presently,
they have "little direct or comprehensive information re
garding the German attitude.'*
Reports have readied this country that a number of
Londoners are waging large amounts of money for and
against the possibility of a signature now, but in this aa
in all other cases, there is a dearth of facts whiclv would
justify conjecture.
Under these circumstances it is exceedingly difficult
to sustain any forecast, but it may.be of interest to recall
that during the exciting days of last October, wh«n the
world was waiting with bated breath for Berlin's answer
to some of the demands of the Allies,.voiced in President
Wilson's,notes, it was a popular pastime to declare posi
tively that Germany would not .acquiesce in any impor
tant steps ordered by the victors. As thing^ turped out,
Germany accepted
At that time there'was, as now, a great deal 6fAgi
tation going on in the defeated country. anfan pffprt
was made to create the impression that the Berlin gov
ernment under no circumstances would allow itself to
be humiliated-. Yetln the early days of November the
humiliation was .an accomplished fact. The ne|*e made
by the Germans probably mem thought to be part of some
subtle propaganda which had well defined, but unpub­

reports coming from
Germany support this theory, for at one moment we ®re
told thfkt individual members of the cabinet will sign
while at the next we are informed that the cabinet will
refuse to endorse any signature which the delegates m*y
affix to the momentous instrument. Again, reports go
forth to the effect that the national assembly has made
up its mind not to sign—and a moment later'the cables
carry the message that a majority of members of the Wei

E lienor M* Intrmm Au$k&r
While wandering In Kew York on a
eeld winter's day, -Davidt Noel, aged 11,
a New Tork street boy, meets a little
girl, Constance Bruse, aged 6, who
stricken wuh pity for hfp condition
gives h|m a pair of her dwn shoes.

He releases from prison Corey Bruce,

gave him the shoes, aad makes him part
ef his personal suite. Bruce aids Noel in
his efforts to baffle Qermsa plots whith
are arising in Brazil as a result of the
War which has broken out in Burepe.
Noel realises that the United States and
Brasii must soon ehooM sldes In the war
aad bends his energies to defeating the
Germap intrigues.
Noel returns to New Tork and is told
that Constance Bruce is married to an
Englishman. His attention is attracted
by a plainly dressed girl who passes his
hotel, and .who is desirous of obtaining
a doll offered as a prise at a dance to
be glve.n at the hotel.
Peellnt sorry for the girl Noel takes
her to-the dance, and they win the pri«e.

CHAPTER XVII.—(Continue^.)
We must go home, or our ftatf falls
the two Art ericas, perhaps
away from
our republic!"
Noel drew himself up, holding out
his |tand for the shower of papers.
The during headlines of newspapers
cried qutf at him from where they l§y.
Kilo hurriedly offered him ifhe most
urgent messages, selected from the
pilp.
"Everythiivg urges your return," he
said. "Sputh America hesitates, bal^
ances. If oyr republic might go first,
what honor among her sisters! It has
cpme, it, is here! The Americans to
gether, forever!""
Yes, it h)id come. The hand mov
ed toward the hour for which Noel
had worked these three years. He
felt the thrill of'action, the thirist of
conquest, his grey eyes met the ardent
eyes of Nilo Valdee in perfect com
prehension and sympathy
"You have engaged passage for us
on the first beat?"
"It sails tods#, ftt five. I"—the
face of Valdez flashed humorous tri
umph and deprecation—-"if you had
not regained consciousness in time, I
believe I, should have had you.parried
aboard4 anyhow. I knew you would
wish to go, if upon a stretcher! But
I should have feared, too! What if
thecc were things to be arranged
here, of which I did not know? But
I should have chaheed all! Should
I ha,ve been right?"
"Yes said Noel firmly.
But he thought of Rosalind Arloff
Kilo would have been right, bijt what
would Rosalind have believed? She
might never have understood, she
might never have forgiven a depar
ture that looked' like neglect Nile
would have been excusable for forget,
ting to communicate with her under
the circumstances, since he did not
know his chief's situation in regard to
the young girl. Tot, it might have
been fatal for the new life of the
heart it had begun for David Noel.
"Give me the things which'need to
be attended to at once," h* bade
Vpldez.
"You are well enough for that?"
"Yes. Waste no time on matters
that can be attended to when we are
on the ship. I have other things h$re
to do."
All the time he road what the effi
cient Nilo selected for his immediate
attention, dictated messages to be
sent out, and in a score of w*ya drew
into his hands the guld)ng lines of hit
affairs that had slipped £rem his
gram during his illness. Noel's mind
carried on an undercurrent of gentler
planning and speculation.
How would all this affect his suit
for Rosalind Arloff? Would his en
forced leaving snatch a favorable an
swer from her willfulness? Or would
this necessary precipitancy frighten
her He did not think soJ His danc
ing girl was no coward, he delighted
in thinking. Nor would she carry
coquetry to the point of eruelty. Un
less his wooing was hopeless, she
would yield, and forgive.
Of course, he could not bring her
back with him, as he--had planned.
He was too uncertain of what ho
would find at home, and he knew she
would" not leave her father. More
over, the weeks after his arrival
would not be best suited to a honey
moon. But hie could take her premise
home with him. She eeuld make
ready for their wedding! and he
would ceme heck'fpr her as
republic of the north. His absence
need not be long. He coujd come
back and carar hie wife down to the
House of thjrLittle Shoes. There her
father and old Abel would companion
her during his absence, if the country
continued unsettled. After all, there
need be ho great change in his mar
riage plans, he decided. A little de
lay. perhaps, no more!
When the most necessary arrange
ments had~%een made, and Nilo Val
dez re-sorted his pile of papers with
the cotitent of accomplishment, Noel
said
"Now, send me Benito, NUO. and
order the car."
Nilo stopped his work. He looked
anxious and a trifle embarrassed
"Excuse me, Dom Davld-^-might I
venture to ask where you had con
templated going? I have a reason."
"To call on Miss Arleff," Noel dry
ly stated "what is the reason?"
"Again e*cuse me—I hive a mea*
sage from that lady for you."
"Give it to jne!"
"it was only an envelope oontaiulng
a single sheet of a New York news
parfer of the previous week. The
page was that given over to more or
less monotonous items concerning tne
affairs of the social world. Opposite
one such paragraph a cross was
roughly scratched in red ink. The
marked passage leaned at Noel's at
tention:

Would he, Noel, have missed Rosa

The name brought'him back to the
imitaedlate present. Rosalind had
sent'him tfcls news. Why? The an
swer came with -the question—because
she believed, that he loved Constance
and Constance was free.
After ipoments of indecision, he
tried the door. It opened at a touch,
and showed him emptipess! He
faced a bare, unfurnished room.
For a space, he was bewildered to
the point of actual giddiness. He had
been ill and the shock was great.
But by and by pain and understands
ing drew out of the mist, hand in I
hand, twin sisters. She had, then,
meant her flery assertion that she
never would marry him, and because
she had read resolution in his face,
she had fled beyond his finding. She
had not sent him to Constance Lan
caster in fine generosity, but in indif
ference at most, in pity.
David Noel had been very sure of
himself, with the arrogant, yet par
donable surenesS of a man who has
wrested success frejn his world. Now,
that surroganee was a. garment hang
ing in rags about him,'as he sto^d, a
man rejected, and thrust out the gate.
The dancing gjrl would have npne of
him! She would not have htm, nor
hip gifts, nor Mis feet upon her
threshold. She had withdrawn h®'*
(self like an empress Offended.
The sun was lqw. Its levil rays shot
across the vaeent room and into the
room beyond. Surely something glit
tered there! The golden ray had
found Some echoing brightness not a
part of vacant walls. Was it a thing
forgotten Prompted by the vague
rejief of any action, Noel walked
acroes the dusty floor.
The French dell, Anitra, sat on the
mantel-shelf In all her finery, with a
perpetual smile on her bisque lips and
her bisque arms extended straight be
fore her.
Even'hie doll was abandoned as
contaminated! That was Noel's first
bitter theufht. To bitterness, suc
ceeded anger to anger a alow, over
whelming gflef. He turned away and
leaned against the uncurtained win
dow frame, seeing not the riinfty
houses on the opposite side of the
street, but a white villa set in gar
dens above a blue sea—a villa tiiat
his wife down to the was empty. Kmpty as never before,
since the dream that was a. hope no
longer dwelt there!
Down in the limousine, Nilo Valdes
smoked innumerable cigarettes gazing
at the afternoon sky an 1 fratting with
the passage of each nlomer.t.. Evi
dently Dom David had found the
beauty at home, he miisvsd. Feins
himself in love with at least three
ladies simultaneously. Kilo wis all
sympathy and interest bul also he
watched w|th growing a/nxietv the ap
proach of the hour for sailing. His
every instinct revolted against the in
delicacy of going in dftnr Noel, yet,
time pressed, and for people in love
time doer, not exist.
He watched the door he paced the
Sidewalk, looking frequently at his
watch* as the moments passed. He
would wait until the last possible mo
ment, to wait longer than that, he de
cided, would be to fail in duty.
His delicacy and sympathy almost
detained him too long. He had not
counted upon the delay oaused by his
receiving no answer to his ring qr
knock. When he finally resolved up
on opening the door of the apart
ment, he had no time/ for observation
of the rOom be entered.
"Dom David," Jie cried with
anxiety,, "the boat sails in forty-five
minutes. We must drive fast. I beg
•f you to hasten^
Noel turned frbm the window, lift
ing heavy eyes to the afiteted face of
the young man- The retlcenee of
years, snapped.
"Ntlo," ha said. "Nilo, she sha|l be
my wife, or no one. She has gone.
Must I leave her, insult her?"
Niib Valdes stood still, paling, be

Noel dropped the paper end turn-,

heart leaped up laughing. Now.

The face of Ni}o remained troubled
*»d apprehensive.
"Top Dom David," he murmured.
'^OnJy^I an* Obliged to say that-r-that
the apartment of the family Arleff is
closed."
^Closed?"
"Sennor, there is no one there. I
celled an h°ur ago to express our ac
knowledgements, .and to say you were
not injured by your removal. No one
was at home."
This was an unexpected calamity.
Not &t hoine^ The idea was nonsense,
in yiew of the invalid Around whom
the household life was centered. No
doubt Rosalind was out, at her work,
and the old Abel did not answer the
bell. Well,. Abel would open' to him.
M#ke all ready for our sailing this
afternoon, Nile," he slowly directed.
"In the meantime, I will call on Miss
Arloff—»nd find her."
The doubt did not lift from Valdes's
expression, but he said no more. The
Aurpe was 4|ettiipped on Benito's com
ing,
It seemed to Noel that life ran
strong within hint a racing current
approaching the two outlets of his old
ddkires. After he was up and dressed,
however, he found himself compelled
to rest for a tiiyle in 'an armchair: He
was more shaken and weaker than he
ha4 believed possible.
A visit from the doctor, delayed him
a secopd time, so it was afternoon
when Noel finally descended to the
street. Nilo Valdez accompanied
hirtv Chiefly because Noel found it
easier to take that gentleman than to
Induce him to stay at home. His
presence wa# no hindrance Noel
would leave his secretary to wait in
the limousine at Rosalind's door.
Meanwhile, the support of his arm
was not unwelcome.
The drive steadied and refreshed
Noel, instead of tiring him. When
they reached the dingy house in the
dull street, he nodded a brief fare
well to Valdez and went up the steps
With quite his usual bearing.
$he card marked "V*sili Arloff"
was no longer/over the bell in the
hall. Noel was unreasonably st&rtled
by its disappearance. The door re?
main6d shut, though he had rung the
bell and ascended the stairs to knock
repeatedly. Foreboding crept coldly
to his side.

"But—

"And our country?" cried Nilo'Val

J!No it will not do! Dom David,

The- strike of the Waterworks, eom-.
.ny's employes coincided with the
Ore -which broke «|t in three pllpea
simultaneously, the water, supply w#0
cut off, so that the firemen were' help-
aw
less, and when they tried 1 to pump
water from the Tagus their' hose was
cut.
Many arreetf were ma4b of per
sons suspected of being the authors of
this act of sabotage. TJ»e incendiaries
have not yet been discovered, and the
government is cohtinnlnir tta ln*««li
gations and making many arrests. The:
damage js enormous grwt number
of money orders were burned.
On the following-day. the prisoners

There have been various othdr small
fires In public buildings for the past'
two days, one at the naval arsenal
and certain persons have been arrest
ed with firing material in their Pes
session. This has made the govern
ment very alert. Bolshevik propagan
da has been widely spree# in the
working classes and seme of the ••ar
rested men turned out to be Russian
Bolshevlkl.
The minister of labor has resigned
owing to divergences of opinion with
his colleagues as to the measures that
have been taken to quell the agitation
amopg the workers.
The strikes have paralyze. business.
No electric carp have been running
since May and sill the municipal
workmen'are on strike, so that street
cleaning, burying the dead, and all
other municipal work is being done
by soldiers and volunteers. It is said
that a general strike is being planned
but public opinion is so incensed at
the fires that a reaction 'appears to be
setting in, and several societies and
associations have made public pro
tests against such extremist acts.
