SYNOPSIS To the very rim of the Shanghai-Tientsin-Hongkong Far East war threat sone goes Capt. Hugh North to work "on the inside" for peace in the guis* of Howard Nevin*, big game hunter. Within the hour of hi* arrival at Honolulu, he I* warned via ’phone by a woman'* vole* to return to the State*. That night he attend* a gay party tendered by Abner Polk, wealthy American. Alluring Phidre Renoire, hostess; Baron von Rentner, German industrialist; and Hideyo Kanamura, Japanese merchant, attract North’s special attention. Th* party reaches a grim end when th* corp** of an unknown nud* beauty comes in on th* tide to th* gayly illuminated float. North make* an intaresting post-mortem discovary ... Later he excoriate* Coaat Artillery Lieut. Wilson Clark for neglect df duty. The latter is now describing undec Jared-war-zone activities of a mysterious Transpacific Company. CHAPTER SEVEN "But to get on with the story: this Transpacific Company, an American corporation, made a great fuss about reopening; their manager hired hundreds of cooliea, brought in machinery and mining experts, and generally put the Talingho property back in condition.” “Just a minute, Lieutenant,” North interjected from the midst of his mental calculations. “Did this purchase take place aftrr Japan existed Manchukuo as a buffer state —or before?’’ “After, air.” “Thank you. I think I remember the later developments.” Meditatively joining hi* fingertips, the intelligence captain. w«ut on: “No sooner had the Transpacific got well settled in Talingho than this bandit marshal, Wang Tao Kin, began raiding into Bino-Japaneae territory. Strange coincidence—eh?” “That’s right," Clark eagerly agreed. “When Wang got chased by the Japanese, he retreated toward* tAe Tronapaciflo property, though there wa* a much easier route about five milea to the north of tbe mine.” “it does give one pause,” North remarked, “almost a* much as to know why old Wang, after retreating over seventy-five milea direct to Talingho, decided to dig in Just beyond tA« Transpacific property?" “It was a neat piece of work on somebody’s part,” Lieutenant Clark observad. “Old Wang so disposed his troops that the Japanese commander had to post hi* on Ute Transpacific property or be wiped out Remember what happened?” A moment Captain North delved into some mental archive, then looked up, his eyes narrowed a little. “Seems to me that when th* Jap* tried to take possession of th* hiu, American employee* raised our flag and warned them off; then when the Japs persisted, they opened up with machine guns.” “In fact," cut in Clark, “the Transpacific mine guards knocked off about fifty of the attackers.” The intelligence captain frowned a little. “It took a clever man—one above the average —to think that out." “Yea, air. But that wasn’t the real damage. When the Jap* fell back, Wang’* crowd promptly took advantage of the opportunity to stag* an offensive of their own. In fact. Captain, the bandit* caught the Jap fore* in the flank and so eut ’em to kybobs, and of course Tokyo didn’t like that a bit.” The speaker paused to slap a mosquito that lit on hi* wrist “G-2 cam* Into it because about a dozen American mine guards got shot during the row; American property had been invaded, Americans killed defending it. and aJi that” Captaifi jiorth began to paca

Brasil President of Rotary luternaltouai and presiding I officer of the convention. Prior to the convention It bad been thought that the IMernattonal fellowship, which hsa always Imn-ii the keynote of Rotary collventtons. would be limited this y*sir liecausc **f tbe difficulties of ocean travel. However, with oth era expected to arrive later during the week. Rotarians already in attendance at tb« convention represent Rotary clubs in Argentina. Australia. Bolivia. Brasil. Canada. Chile.

back and forth while Clark, apparently eager to reinstate hunself in hi* superior’s good graces, hurried on with hi* account “The Jap* of course sent out mor* troops immediately, drove Wang into the hills, and all was quiet till the end of April—the twentieth, 1 think.” “The twentieth—ia that exact?” “Yes, sir. That waa when thia second offensive of Wang Tso Kin's began. As you know, the Jap* shelled the Chines* position yesterday. and in doing so had to fir* on th* Transpacific property."

In China “the mine guards opened up with machine guns.” Lieutsnant Clark. “They knocked oil about fifty attacker*.

Lieutenant Clark’e erect body sagged a little on ite seat when North inquired, “What waa the reaction her* in Honolulu?” “I—l don't know, sir, I was away on a trip—a trip. But the evening papers said that seven mor* Americans had been killed.” Again a strained silence fell on th* bedroom, until North asked: “Well, what about this so-called ‘friendly visit* of the Japanese Scout Squadron I heard them talking about on the mainland?” “Due in two days, sir,” Clark said In a flat, aad voice. “Six an al rolane carrier, and a flotilla of twelve submarines. Everyone on the island ia afraid of trouble, but you see how it is?” “How what ia, Lieutenant?” “Why, If either government calls off this visit, the other will interpret it aa an unfriendly gesture.” “I see. If tbs Japs don’t show up, then our own jingo* will any it shows bad faith and will assume that a declaration of war la imminent: and on the other hand, If Washington ask* the Japanese admiral to postpone hia visit, Japan will have it that the United States is about to declare war. It's an ugly mesa, at an;- event” Hu * h , North chocked hia restless parade by the open window to gaze out at palm tops which, in tbe pale mootlight *ee:ned to have been coated with frost ... Did Japan want war? “Outeid* of rumors that there will be trouble, do you know of anything •pecific?” queried North, suddenly fixing his subordinate with grim and searching eye*. “No," Claik replied with a r*turn of hia early suitennca*. “But the feeling is so strong that lots of men are sending th*<r wive* and children to the ot.xr sid* of th* island till to* Jap fleet pull* oqt”
