Sullivan, Indiana Telephone 12 Paul Poynter , Publisher Joe H. Adaai3 Editor Eleanor Poynter Jamison Manager and Assistant Editor Published daily except Saturday and Sunday at 115 West Jachson St, Entered as second-class matter July 1, 1908 in the Postoffice at Sullivan, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. U. S. AND RUSSIA HOLD KEYS TO PEACE ' It is almost certain that the stability of the post-war years will not be menaced by any old style armament race. Competition in armaments between the two leading world powers the United States and the Soviet Union is impossible. Their fighting- forces have differing structures. Neither can the Soviet Union try to outdistance the United States on. the sea and in the air, nor can the United States-attempt to build a land army bigger and stronger than the Red army. Technological development will favor quality, better weapons and net mass; better fighting armies not bigger armies. Therefore a limitation of armaments will be recommended even ever consideration of military purposefulness. The question of international military policy will be simplified. It can be settled by American-Russian arrangement. I Of course the new super-weapons with their revolutionary Implications may change the scene completely. It is clear low that any military calculations on the basic of the present pre-atomic" military technology may be-only short-lived. ?he conditions of security will be fundamentally Changed vith the revolution in weapons. But tthis revolution will not be accomplished suddenly. It is probable that for a certain time two military systems will co-exist; the one based on traditional technics; the other on super-weapons. There will be a period of transition which will provide the necessary time for an international political regulation of the question. The super-weapons are unpredictable, incalculable in their detail. Their destructive power is unimaginable. But terrific as it may be, it creates no political dangers. These super-weapons cannot be checked by defensive technics, but by the organization of peace only; that is to say, politics. The new war technology will create either absolute insecurity, if it is let loose; or absolute security, if it is mastered by international co-operation.

The Forgotten Fleet

CHAPTER XIV s While the two strode aft, their footfalls drawing sullen reverberations from the silent steel hull, Colby sensed a subtle change to be coming over Mears. The bifr watchman seemed no longer the slow, phlegmatic individual he had known. Apparently his deliberate wits had taken in all angles of the problem and he was now eager and alert. "Reckon the stuff must be there all right," he stated. "We saw that i plate come off." Colby nodded absently, his thoughts rushing ahead, trying to foresee what might happen when 1 th Benet jewels would be exposed. A quarter of a million! Would their eyes in a few moments feast themselves upon the long lost hoard which Geneva Benet sought so earnestly? Where had she been during this little affaire? That kiss, had it been a clever bribe? A disarming subterfuge? Surprisingly soon Meant and the soft treading ex-soldier found themselves in that disordered ca'o'tn where the lanterns still burned patiently drawing golden high lights from Tug's curious tools and the small heap of murderous implements. As they passed through the door Mears rushed by like a bull at a cloak and sped headlong over to that ragged black square yawning in the gray iron wall. "If you're going to pry apart that moulding," Colby's voice bit like acid into the silence, "I suggest you use the jimmy Baron von Ehrenbreit'a friend has so kindly provided. Saves wear and tear on the fingernails." Mears, his heavy features flushed, flung the ex-soldier a searching look and then followed hi advice. His blue jersied shoulders bunched with effort; once, twice and then a dry crackling noise split the tense stillness. Something clattered to the floor. "Gawd! Look! Look! There's a hole!" Colby could see it quite well a square space perhaps six inches by four. He stood inside the cabin door, erect as a guardsman with arms negligently folded, but none the less effectively hiding the Colt ready in his right hand. He was experiencing the same sensations as might a person on a swing just before the swing starts its downward plunge. His hard blue eyes narrowed when Mears' tattooed right hand darted into the hole like a rabbit into its burrow. He groped about an instant and then the huge watchman fell to cursing with such a violence that Colby feared he would become berserk. "It it ain't there!" he raved. "Some son of a buzzard's doublecrossed us somebody's been there first!" "What!" Incredulous the man In the gray tunic leaped forward and stared into the aperture. Nothing was in it. A thought flashed across Colby's mind. What had Geneva Benet, -who knew of the existence of the jewels, been doing this last twenty minutes? He stoopedr-picked up the - segment of moulding-it. had been but lightly held in place, So it seemed that' five men had died for a myth; and he had fought two hard fights for nothing. The treasure was gone ! - The treasure was gone! GONE! "Looks like we're out of luck, Mears," he pronounced gloomily. .''and the sooner ye reflVg the

H. , Gadberry and children, Rebecca June and Jimrnie, apd Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cooley, the occasion being Mrs. j Dofris's birthday. She received many nice gifts. i . Honor Birthday ! Mr. and Mrs. Marion Anderson and sons Donald and Darrell of Sullivan R. R. and Mrs. Garland McCammon and sons Vaughn and Larry of Paxton spent Thursday afternoon at Gregg Park in Vincennes where by Van Wyck Mason happier we'll be. I've learned that through crying over an awful lot of spilt milk these last few years. Come on. We'd better find Miss Benet then notify the shore authorities about this business. Might be a couple of hundred dollars in rewards for us somewhere," he added with a bitter laugh. Mears, 'his shadow gigantic behind himjstood for a moment glaring from under shaggy brows at the spare, batjlle-scarred figure. "You're; a smart guy and a nervy one," he drawled, a very puzzled expression on his wind-burned features. "And if I hadn't seen that hunk of steel come out myself I wooldn't trust you." "Can the hooey, Mears, and let's get rolling," Colby snapped and slid his Colt smoothly into his coat pocket. V.ien he caught up one of the lanterns. "Can you get ashore somehow? Dutton and Hartney grabbed the only rowboat." "Oh, I reckon I could get to lar.d by shinning along one of them mooring chains. It'd be easier to swim, but the water it too cold at this time of the year." It was a nervow. and rather frightened Geneva Benet they found pacing up and down the deck just outside that landing on which Connolly and Kraus lay so patiently awaiting attention. "Oh thank God you're safe," she cried as she breathlessly clutched Colby's hand. "What's happened?" Colby told her in a few sentences, and as tactfully as he might he broke the bad news concerning the jewelry and the empty cache. To his astonishment she seemed to be badly shaken but not particularly crushed by this shrewd blow of misfortune. "So long as both of you are safe I don't care," she burst out passionately. "All I want to do is to go away from these horrible boats and never, never see them again! They smell of death! Oh Mears, please hurry and get the police and a boat won't you?" "Sure," Mears nodded but shot the girl a swift questioning look that caught and held Colby's interest "Sure, I'll go." "Thank you." Geneva Benet sank listlessly onto a deadlight. "Oh I I'm, so very tired youll hurry, won't you?" "What are you going to do?" Mears demanded of Colby, "I'm going back below and talk to the prisoners might learn something." .... " ou'd better hurry, . Mears," Geneva Benet said plaintively, "the wind is coming up fast and I dori't want to stay on these dreadful ships a minute longer than I have to.. Oh!"A pale hand flashed up to the collar of. her gray jersey. "What's that?? From f af below the faint clamor of voices sounded over the hum of the half gale which now strummed in the bleached old rigging. "Just Ehrenbreit and a couple of buddies who don't seem to like it down there unreasonable swine. I expect they're playing tag with the rats." "Well, so long. Be back as soon's T can. Better keep your eyes skinned, Colby." With a nod to the depressed and listless girl, Mears' big body swung off through the raw gloom, his powerful head bent into the wind. In silence the two watched tiim , cross the gangway, swing across the Montirello deck, dts annear. . JSt: 'MMtiAJi. .

STATE SPEED LIMIT j Governor Ralph F. Gales by proclamation yesterday ended the wartime 35-mile-an-hour speed limit in Indiana. Then he cautioned Hoosiers to tread lightly on their accelerators lest the lifting of the speed ban cause a rise in the traffic death rate which already has reflected the effects of the increased speed The Governor, in his proclama tion lifting the speed limit, said "But in so doing I urge the wholehearted co-operation of every motorist in Indiana to respect the safety of others by continuing to drive at a reduced speed and to observe carefully all highway markings." The Governor pointed out that aging, war-worn cars will not stand high-speeds and that it still is essential to conserve both tires and automobiles if transportation is to be kept up until new-car production can place new and safe equipment on the roads. mystery" "And now?" Colby was obliquely eyeing his companion. "And now that that's that?" the girl countered, her despairing weariness abruptly vanished."You've been thinking about the third maiden," Colby stated and looked fixedly over the broad moon silvered Patuxent where the wind chased shimmering catspaws up the channel. "A maiden neither white, nor yellow, nor red." "What makes you think so?" she challenged. "You didn't fool m,e with your sob song about wanting to get off these steamers right away." He sank down beside her. "You see, I'm not such a fool as to think you'd quit now after having gone through so much. That sentence of Vogel's meant something to you. I've also been thinking a lot about it the last quarter of an hour. You see there's something queer about all this business. Why should Ehrenbreit. one of the original partners and knowing the whole story, go to a lot of expense, run a lot of risks and waste a(l his time on o empty hiding, piaee'f uui wiiai i L i lie liming place was discovered when the Kroaprinzessia was remodelled?" "It's possible, but I doubt it Why should a single portion of the moulding be removed and the rest left; intact? No, I think something else happened." "What?" "Shouldn't wonder but Vogel double-crossed his pal 'way back in 1914 and rehid the loot just before the ship reached Germany." "Sounds reasonable," Geneva admitted as they paused before the first class salon door. "But what did he mean by 'neither white, nor red, nor yellow?' " In the watery moonlight Colby's hard lips pursed themselves, became judicious. "'Maiden' might refer to a mural, to an ornament or, most likely, to a carved nymph or naiad." Tha rirl' (mall V.J eagerly. "Yes, I think so, too. Perhaps the colors refer to the wood? There's redwood trim in the music room ana l yes, I'm sure there are some carved fiEriim in tharo Shall we go and see?" They hurried to that dim dusty room and found but a single pair of nymphs very solidly set into the wall. "No good," grunlcd Colby. "Besides, the message said 'the third maiden.' Any ebony on this ship? We don't want white, yellow or red wood that leaves black, doesn't it?" "Of course. How stupid I am," Geneva cried, then burst, out, "The trim in the first class bar-is ebony Oh! I hope you're right!" ., Almost running, she flung wide a door opening off the smoking room through which Colby had stalked the dying Connolly. "See? There it is!" Her flash revealed a series of rather badly proportioned pilasters supporting the bar : mirror. At the top these pilasters , represented nymphs with very ample breasts. Light as a cat Colby sprang up on the bar and studied the carvings. "Well?" Breathless wa3 Geneva's cry. "Don't tell me" "Too bad they're carved solidly out of big beams set tight into the wall we've drawn another blank." (To Be Continued) : J ' fioD.Mtht. 1 !. b Vtn Wjrt Utirn.
