EIGHT THE L(IST~SHOT r? In this story Mr. Palmer, the noted war correapondent. haa paint ed war aa he haa aeen It on many battlefields and between many na tlona. Hla Intimate knowledge of ermiee and armamenta haa enabled him to produce a graphlo picture of the greeteat of all wara, and hie knowledge of condltlone haa led him to propheay an end of armed eonflicta. No man la batter quali fied to write the etory of the final world war than Mr. Palmer, and ha haa handled hla aubject with a •neater hand. (Continued from Yeaterday.) ■"1 should like you all to sign It—to tnako It elmply the old form of ‘the ■taff baa the honor to report,' " he eald finally. Thera was a huah aa he finished the huah of a deep Impression whan one man watta for another to apeak. All were looking at him except the vice-chief, who waa at 111 alarlng at the table aa If he had heard nothing. Yet every word waa etched on hla mind. iTha man whoae name waa the aymbol of victory to the aoldlera, who would be more thßn ever a hero a* the new a of hia charge with the African Ilruvea traveled along the llnea, would go on reoord to hla aoldlera aa tnylng that they could not take the Gray range. Thla was a handicap that the vice ehief did not care to accept; and he knew how to turn a phraao aa waU aa to make a aoldlerly declaim! Me looked up aratllngly to Marta. "I hare decided that I had rather not be a Woeterllng. Mtaa Galland," he said. “We'll make It unanimous. And you," he burst out to Isnatrnn - "you legatee of old Partow; I’tw al ways aaid that be wae the blggeat man of our time. Me haa proved it by outohtng the spirit of our time and in carnating it.” Vaguely, in the whirl of her Joy, Marta hoard the chorus of assent aa the officers sprang to their feet In the elation of being at one with their chief again. Lanstron caught her arm. fear ing that idle waa going to fall, but a burning question rose In her mind to steady her. 'Then iny shame —my sending men to slaughter- -my sacrifice was not in Vain r she exclaimed. ******* The sea of people parked In the great aquare of the Brown capital made a roar like the thunder of waves against a breakwater at sight of a white apot on a background of gray atone, which wae the head of an emi nent statesman. "It looks as If our government would last the week cut," the premier chuckled as ha turned to hla colleagues at the cabinet table. Aa yet only the brief bulletins whnea publication In the newspapers had aroused the public to a frenty had been received. The cabinet, aa eager for details as the press, had remained up. awaiting a fuller official aooount. "We have a long communication In preparation,” the staff had telegraphed. "Meanwhile, the followtug la submit ted" ’’Good heavens! It'a not from the army! It's from the gravel” ex claimed the premier as he read the first paragraphs of l’artow's message. "Of all the concealed dynamite ever!" he gasped aa he grasped the full mean ing of the document, that piece of news, as staggering as the victory It self. that had lain In the staff vaults ftw years "Well, we needn't give It out to the preee; at least, not until aftvr mature consideration," he de clared when they had reached the end of Fallows appeal. "Now we’ll hear what the staff haa to say for ltaalf after gratifying the wlah of a dead man," be added aa a messenger gave him another sheet. "The staff. In loyalty to Ita dead leakier who made vtetory possible, and In loyalty to the principles of defense for which the army fought, begs to aay to the nation —" It waa four o'clock In the morning when this dispatch concluded with ”We heartily agree with the forego ing." and the cabinet read the names Of all the general staff and the corps and division oommanders Coursing crowds In the streets were stUl shout ing hoarsely and sometimes drunken ly: "On to the Orsy capital I Noth ing can stop us now!” The premier triad to Imagine what a sea of faces in the great square would look like In a rage Ha was between the peo ple In a passion for retribution and a headless army that was supposed to charge across the frontier at dawn "The thing is sheer madness I" ha cried. “It's Insubordination! 11* have It suppressed I The array must go on to gratify public demand. I'll show the staff that they are not In the saddle. They'll obey orders I” Ms tried to get La natron on the long distance "Sorry, but the chief has retired," answered the officer on duty sleepily. “In fact, all the rest of the staff have, with orders that they are rot to be disturbed before ten." "Tell them that the premier, the head of the government, their com mander, Is epsaktng!" "Yea. sir. The orders not to disturb them are julta positive, and as a )u nlor I could not do ho except by theTr orders as superiors. The chief, before retiring, however, repeated to me. In case any Inquiry came from you, sir, that there was nothing he could add to the ataff’s message to the nation and the army. It Is to be given to the soldiers the first thing In the morn ing, arid he will let you know how they regard It.” "Confound these machine minds that spring thetr surprises aa fully execut ed plans!" exclaimed the premier. "It's true —I’artow and the staff have covered everything met every argu ment. There is nothing more for them to say," said the foreign minister. "Hut what about the Indemnity?" demanded the finance minister. Me was thinking of victory In the form of piles of gold In the treasury. This question, too, wae answered. "War has never brought prosperity," I’artow had written. "Its purpose Is to destroy, and destruction can never bo construction. The conclusion of a war has often assured a period of peace; and peace gave the Impetus of prosperity attributed to war. A man Is strong In what lie achieves, not through the gifts he receives or the goods he steals. Indemnity will not raise another blade of wheat In our land. To take It from a beaten man will foster In him the desire to beat his adversary tn turn and recover the amount and more. Then we shall have the apprehension of war always In the air, and soon another war and more destruction. Remove the danger of a European cataclysm, and any sum ex torted from the Graye becomee paltry beside the wealth that peace will cre ate. An indemnity makes the purpose of the courage of the Grays in their assaults and of the Browns In their re sistance that of the burglar and the looter. There Is no money value to a human life when It Is your own; and our soldiers guvs their lives. Do not cheapen their service.” "Considering the part that wo played at The Hague,” observed the foreign minister, "It would be rather Incon sistent for us not to—” "There Is only one thing to do. Lan stron has got us!” repllad the premier. “Good Haavenal It'g Not From Ihs Army. It'g From tha Gravel" "We must Jump in at th* head of tha procession and receive the mud or the bouquet*, aa It happen* " With I’artow'a and the staff’s ap peals went au eitually earnest one from the premier and his cabinet. Nat urally. the noisy element of the cities waa the first to find words. It shouted in rising anger that Lanstron had betrayed the nation Army offi cer* whom Partow had retired for leis urely habits eald that h# and lanstron had struck at their own calling. But the average man and woman. In a data from the shock of th* appeals after a night's celebration, were resid ing and wondering and asking thetr neighbors' opinions. If not In Par tow's then in the staff's message they found the mirror that set their own ethical professions staring at them. Before they had mads up their minds the correspondents at the front had set the wires singing to the even ing editions; for Lanstron had direct ed that they be given the run of the army s lines at daybreak. They told of soldiers awakening after the de bauch of yesterday's fighting, normal and rested glowing with the security of possession of the frontier and re sponding to thetr leaders' sentiment; of officers of the type favored by Par tow who would bring the Industry that commands reaper! to any calling, tak *n* Lanatron's views as worthy of their profession; of that Irrepressi ble poet laureate of th* aoldlera. Gap tain Straneky. 1 C. (Iron cross), break ing forth in a new aohg to an old tuna, expressing his brotherhood Ideas In a "W* - have - ours • let ■ them • keep theirs" chorus that was spreading from regiment to regiment. This left the retired officers to grum ble In their corners that war was no longer a gentleman’s vocation, and si lenced the protests of their natural al ly In the business of making war, the noisy element, which promptly adapted .tself to a new fashion In the relatior of nations. Again the great square 'as packed and again a wave like roar of cheers greeted the white speck of an eminent statesman's head. All the Ideas that had been fomenting in the minds of a people for a genera tion became a living force of action to break through the precedents born of provincial passion with a new cedent; for the power of public opin ion can be as swift in its revolutions as decisive victories at arras. The world at large, after nibbing Its fore head and readjusting its eye-glasses and clearing Its throat, exclaimed: "Why not! Isn’t that what we have all been thinking and desiring? Only nobody knew how or where to be gin.” The premier of the Browns found himself talking over the long distance to the premier of the Grays In as neighborly a fashion as if they had adjoining estates and were arranging a matter of community interest. "You have been so fine In waiving un indemnity," said the premier of the Grays, “that Turcas suggests we pay for all the damage done to property on your side by our Invasion. I’m sure our people will rise to the sug gestion. Their mood has overwhelmed every preconceived notion of mine. In place of the old suspicion that a Brown could do nothing except with a selfish motive Is the desire to be as fair as the BrownH. And the practi cal way the people look at It makes mo think that it will be enduring. “1 think so, for the same reason," responded the premier of the Browns. "They say It Is good business. It means prosperity and progress for both countries." "After all, a soldier comes out th# hero of ' « great peace movement," concluded ihe premier of the Grays. "A soldier took the tricks with our ow n cards. Old l’artow was the great est statesman of us all." "No doubt of that!” agreed the premier of the Browns. "It'a a senti ment to which every premier of ours who ever tried to down him would have readily subscribed!” The every-day statesman smiles when he sees the people smile and grows angry when they grow angry. Now and then appears an Inscrutable genius who finds out. what is brewing In their brains and brings It to a head. Me is the epoch maker. Such an on* was that little Corsican, who gave a stagnant pool the storm It needed, un til be became overfed and mistook his ambition for a continuation of his youthful prescience. • • • • • Marta had yet to bear the shock of Weetertlng's death. After learning the manner of it she went to her room, where she spent a haunted, sleepless night The morning found her still tortured by her visualisation of the picture of him. irresolute as the mob pressed around the Gray headquar ters. "It Is as If I had murdered him!" she said. '1 let him make love to me —I let my hand remain In hts once—- but that was all. l.anny. I —l couldn't have borne any more. Yet that waa enough -enough I" “But we know now, Marta,” I-atY stron pleaded, "that the premier of the Grays held Westerllng to a com pact that he should not return alive if he lost. He could not have won, eTen though you had not helped us against him Me would only have lost more lives and brought still greater Indignation on his head His fate waa Inevitable —and he waa a soldier.” Hut his reasoning only racked bar with a shudder. “if he had only died fighting!” Mar tar repllad. "He died like a rat in a trap and I—l set the trap!" "No. destiny set It!” put In Mrs. Galland. Lanstron dropped down beside Mar ta's chair. “Yea, destiny set It,” he said. Im ploringly. "Juat as It act yonr part for you. And. Marta.” Mrs Galland went on gently, with what Marta had onca called the wisdom of mothers. lives and lives for yon.

I. — Subscriptions thus far receiv ed to the German war loan have as sured the brilliant success of the war loan plan.
