Like in other parts of the country and in the world, the

var s end signaled a spontaneous ,ioy and enthusiasm here.

We are not a war-niakmg n the never-to-be-forgotten vc hate war.

Our young. men are by nature men of peace. But without prio'' training, except in very small numbers, they were blc to drop their tools and trades and books and in less han four years whip two nations whose young men were frhooled for a lifetime of fighting and the love of war and Imquest. The fact that we could do this is something to fuull the heart' of every American. it"-We-' have talked much in a preoccupied sqrt of way out; the brave new world of "post-war" and "reconversipn." . . 1 What are we to do about it ? Will we meet the prob-

ems and trials of peace .with

.he good will, the self sacrifice with which we met the greatest war in all history?

v Our nation faces great problems as a nation. Our Vashington leaders must convert the huge war engine of ;

;1 00,000,000 ,000-a-year capacity me of lesser costs devoted to

xi'objems" of demobilizing our army,, of ..reconverting , our 'actories; of feeding, clothing, housing, the .140,000,000 people of this nation better .than ever, before. That is a job 'or all men of good-will whose peactftime duty or position

places them on the national stage. ... '.

We have the tools, we have the manpower, we. have

our nation the greatest period in the history of the United States of America. , Each' person doing his bit, will achieve the same result in peace, as we have just achieved and celebrated in war.

The Forgotten Fleet

- CHAPTER XV Colby regained Geaeva's side, very serious of expression. "Is there ebony anywhere else? Try to think." Several minutes of thought ended in a discouraged sigh from the girl. ''Maybe," Colby suggested as they wandered out into the smoking room, "we're going at the thing the wrong way?" . "What do you think?" she demanded. "I think I saw a piece of carving in here that may help." The girl started, then looked about. "The mantel? That won't do, it's oak." i . "Just the same, let's take a good look at it." They halted to stare upward, playing their flashlights over four female figures probably intended to represent the four major continents. From the Greuk goddess representing Europe their gaze wandered to an American Indian woman, and then . to a stalwart negroid maiden whose thick lips seemed curved in an enigmatic smile. 'Xhe fourth and last of the nymphs was a serene, slant eyed figure personifying Asia. - "The third maiden," cried Geneva 'in the hushed voice of overwhelming excitement. "LoQkl She's a ncgiess." ?'And look at this," Colby said and, stopping, recovered a sliver of wood. The sensati.ms he had experienced outside of Cabin 313 returned a .hundred-fold. "Vogel must have been at work," he announced as he stepped forward. "You can see he had started to use his jimmy." -. ... With their flashlights creating futuristic designs through the mote filled air, Colby dragged forward a rhair and mounted it to better study the black girl. , . . -. . "Looks like the right track. at. last," he pronounced in a voice that shook with excitement. "Want to find out now?" " ' "Yes. I'll hold the light..". -, - Panting,-dust covered .and fascinated at the prospect of success. Colby had no warning of Mears' presence in a far doorway until the dry click" of his pistol's firing pin was followed by a feeble report. Geneva screamed and remained in the paralysis of complete astonishment. Colby leaped down off the chair, snatched at his own automatic and unfortunately fouled it in the lining of his pocket.. The shadowy am-bu.-iher levelled his weapon, and again tried to fire, but Colby's removal of the powder thwarted that. Mears then flung the piotol clattering into, a corner and rushed at plby, roaring threats-and with murder written in every line of his deceptively uninspired face. . Colby leaped back, but still his gun would not come out so, bracing himself, he shot through his pocket and expertly sent a bullet smacking among dingy flannel letters sewed to the watchman'' jersey front. In the middle of the dim library Hears jtecmed- to trip and his hand flew to the wound as usually happens in pie case of a badlv wounded man. y . An expression of vast amnzeripul.: widening his, eyes, the, jerse'yed watchman swayed a long instant, then turned : half around before Disclose Dining Car Racket NEW YORK, Aug. 24.

Oblivious; to thV f act' that his uniform coat was smofderingy Colby stood quite still a: minute, a dangerous, dramatic figure peering down at his fallen assailant while a thread of gray smoke wandered up from his pistol muzzle. "How awful! How p-perfectly horrible," choked Geneva Benet and turned aside, her slim body shaking as though jostled by the hand of an invisible giant. "Sorry the swine gave me 'no choice." Quite deliberately Colby wet his fingers and extinguished the smoldering cloth, then strode over to bend above Mears. He could see by the light of the lantern that the fellow was not quite dead. "It was you who shot Connolly, wasn't it?" ' : Silence.. 1 "Come on, admit it there was a .35 caliber wound in his back and yours is the only .35 on board." "Yes." It was just a breath of a voice that replied and the eyes were dreadfully fixed. "After he killed Vogel." ' ':. .... -. - "You .were in. with Vogel?" . . "Yes. Met him 'Tuxtown. Offer five thous'n let him aboard. JNight-tore last hid him on Amerika. At .first-- didn't know what after.. I I" Quietly, definitely, Death cut short the murderer's confession and Colby started to rise, but remained frozen in his tracks when a voice spoke from the doorway Ferguson's voice. "Better not move Soldie-r!" "Careless fool! Bungler!" reproachful inner voices shrieked in Donald Colby's ears. Why had he not more promptly 're-secured Hans? Now he'd pay for that omission with a vengeance and, what was worse, another would have to suffer for his stupidity. The exsoldier straightened jerkily, like a badly motivated toy. "Vhat a pleasure, Mcin Htrr," Ehrenbreit's thin, inadequate looking figure jerked a sardonic little bow, then he advanced into the room, a baleful flicker in his yellow ish eyes, terguson and the others remained in various entrances to the smoking room in which the faint bitter reek -of burnt smokeless powder still tinctured the air. On signal from Ehrenbreit Tug sidled forward, - took Colby's Colt and. Geneva's small .25 automatic. During this operation Colby stood quite motionless, ovei'whelmed by a flood of bitter self-reproach. Ehrenbreit spoke suddenly, sharply, dissipating the deadly silence. "Vhab vere you doing in here?" Colby s tongue crept out to wet his lips. "Fighting with Mears didn't vou hear us?" "Vhat about?" "He tried to shoot me " "He had the right idea." Ferguson growled. "C'mon, Hermann, let's not wait we'd better turn on the heat right. now." "A'ciV." the German snapped, "this lian he knowssomelhinfr." i' 4& Hans agreed, "dot teljow pernaps mit vogel was? ' "'At's a idea," Tug admitted. "Weli, Hermann, how about it?" as much as $50 each on every trip. ; .

When the quartet . commenced ' close in Geneva Benet aroused hvrself from the semi-stupor of mrvous exhaustion. "He he doesn't know he never did." "Shut up, you!" Ferguson dealt the girl a stinging slap. "You're too damned smart, by half " Barely in time Colby restrained an offensive which could have been nothing but suicidal, so, livid with fury, he watched white welts appear on Geneva Benct's smooth cheek. Ehrenbreit. prison paled features contracted in- a hard smile, said, "I am, mem tierr, inclined to agree with Hans." He fixed on the pris oners a long, searching glance. "I am not by nature a violent man, but tergiiFom iss and he vould very much like to veil, do unpleasant thing3 to you, so I invite your confidenceYou shall share veil if the jewels are found that I promise." "I would talk if I could,'' the hcJ-low-eyed prisoner declared and mustered a convincing smile, "but I never even spoke to Vogel he was dead when I first saw him. Supposing that Mears," his eyes strayed to., the dead man's awkwardly sprawled" blur of a "body, "had learned from-Vogel what you suggest, would he be likely to tell we about it?". "Ja, but Vogel might half told die 'f rattle in?" Hans suggested rubbing his bruised throat; - -: "If she knew, she'd have grabbed the jewels long since and beat it." Colby pointed out. "F-he doesn't know any. more than I do." "Hey, boss," Ferjruxon f trodc forward a little, "how about it ? Do I get him now?" "A"ci, not yet, Uebtr frcinnl. not yet,"The German who "had stood tugging at his stiff gray mustache now shook his head slowly while a tight cruel smile twisted his lips. There was something subtly menacing about this straight, wasted figure something that disturbed Colby far more ihan the blunt ferocity of Ferguson or the callous dendliness of Tug. "Ja! that last night out Kraus nv'.st have rchidtien those jewels. One or the other of vou know?," Ehrenbreit said, "or else vhat iss this doing here?" He kicked the jimmy which had lain in plain sight. Ja, Hans iss right that verclnmmt Kraus sent Vogel in his place Vogel hired Mears and this one." An expression of overwhelming rage distorted the --speaker's face. rerguson, mem rub . how shall we make them talk?" "I got just the right idee no noise, no trouble and plenty er convincing. If they get obstinate, why thsy won't be found till we've high "tailed a good ways away. usten, Hermann, how's this?" He drew Ehrenbreit aside while the other two being suspicious and alert continued to cover the downcast prisoners. Gut, sehr gut."
