Ho dropped everything and rushed
upstairs. So dense wns the smoko that
he was driven lack twice. Hut through
the smoko he 'saw the red glare of the
lire and abovo the noise of the crackling
wood be heard the cries of children.
Pulling bis coat collar close around
his face, Leonard made anpthcr attempt.
He reached the second floor with much
difficulty, and it was only by a supremo
effort that he eventually got to the
third floor. There, huddled In a corner
of the room, ho found Susio and Mny
Lombard!, three and six years old. They
were clasped In each others arms, as
though woitlng.for. death.

Leonard took a child in each arm,
and throwing a blanket over their heads
for protection, groped his way down
stairs to tho street.
Two frantic women In. the street took
the children from the fireman's - arms
and carried them to .their homes. A
shout was raised that Josephine Lom
bard!, a baby vwas still -in tho house.
Leonard started upstairs again, but he
was preceded by Patrolman" Swanson.

The two ministers are turning from
the pulpit to the' plough as a refuge
from the turmoil nnd worldllucss that
finds its way at tiuien uveu iuto
churches. .
And they hope to draw after them,
when opco their farm is established ou
a paying basis nnd there is leisure for
o'ther matters than planting und reap
ing, tired souls that seek retreat for
awhllo from o muddlo and rush of
modern lifu.
"PursonR talk too much," said Mr.
Booth. "Their sermons don't do b
much good ns they should, sometimes,
I've prenched ten years und I know.
People say, 'What a wonderful sermon,
just as they would say, 'What won
derful vlollu playing,' uud then forgot
all about It." . , ,
This Is one of the rensons he Is go ng
to give up nctlvo participation In min

sheriff agree to abide by the result of
tnc arbitration."
Sheriff Expected to Opposo
Lnmbcrton was ill, it was snid at his
home, and could not come to the tele
phone, but from an opinion expressed
Aostcrdny the sheriff would be unwill

It is believed the sheriff would prci
fcr to have at least three members, one
of whom would bo Ocoree W. Coles,

Political gossip hud it today that
Mayor Moore would recommend to Gov
ernor Sprout the appointment of Horace
Stern to tho vacancy on the bench of
Court of Common Picas No. 2, caused
by the death of Judge Henry N. Wessel.
Stern Is also supported by former State

In the course of his article "Pcrtt

Premiers Clemeuceau and Lloyd George

According to witnesses, he had fr.
quently defend! Mrs. Kay.ngnlu' att
chief of the Imperial stnff of tho British
army, recclred strict orders to prepare
'n new scheme of occupation based on
Amorlcau Ideas," The writer declares
Marshnl Foch. In discussing the jtlau
evolved by" this commission, said :
"The Germans asked for au Imperial
commissioner and they were given not
QUU U VIMIIIIIIKOIUIH;. . UU 1. U1VII uu- I
ministration commission, which is much '
morn than they claimed." I
"These words of Marshal Foch," he
continues, "characterizes tho whole
business today. In consequence It Is I
plain to sec the Rhineland shnrcs fully
in the life of united Germany and in
the distribution of coal there Germany
goes so fur as to distinguish between
inhabitants ho supposes favorable or un
favorable to us."
In a word, the work of France is
compromised by Mr. Wilson after such
examples of. our moderation. Presi
dent Wilson hns no right to tnlk ot our
"imperialism."
Tardleu Loes America
Andre Tardleu, who was a member
of France's delegation In the Peace
Conference, said concerning President
Wilson's letter to Senator nitchcock :
'"Frebch public opinion will he ln
accord with that of the government,
that tbe reproach of imperialism cannot
apply to France. It is not on the peace
treaty that such a reproach can be
based. The treaty was judged and de
fined by President Wilson himself, in
solidarity with the heads of the other
governments, in the response addressed
by thera .Tune 10, 1010, to Count von
Brockdorff-Ranlzau, head of the Ger
man peace delegation.
"That was a capital document," said
M. Tardleu. who recalled that it in
formed tbe Germans the poace proposed
was "fundamentally a peace of justice"

With regard to this messngoi and
statement of policy Admiral Sims said
it was the "first definite statement ot
policy I had received, arriving a few
days over three months after we had de
clared war."
Policy Called Astounding
I "Tho futnurillnr features of this rol
icy were, however, that while it stitM
our intention to co-operate to"thc fullest
degree, still such co-operation was con- '
ditioned first upon an adequate defenst
of our tfwn waters and next upon tht.
future position of the L'nlted States after
this wur was finished," said the ad
miral. "I am wholly unablo to qon
cehe of auy war policy, particularly id
u world war of this nuture, which was
certain to exhaust nil of the partici
pants with the possible exception of our
selves, based upon tbe requirements pt
any possible future wnr."
A mctisage received from the Navy
Deportment, dated July 5, to the effect
that several small vessels were belnc
sent to augment his forces "indicated
that they were at last beginning to
realize thut there was a war bing fought
n European waters, "declared Admiral
aims.
On July 30, Admiral Sims testified
h sent the Navy Department a review
of the discussions of the allied naval,
council iu which he stated that "It was
made apparent that closer co-ordination
of effort bhould be immediately estab
lished between the United States and tJe
