There has been considerable price hysteria the last few days. All sorts and conditions of men have taken their pens in hand to decree a price fixed not upon economic conditions, but purely and simply upon their own crass ignorance of the situation. The government should consider the cash price of wheat at terminal points when government control sent the prices sagging and created a condition that threatens severe financial loss to the farmers of the northwest. It would only be fair and equitable to establish a price in harmony with prices prevailing on the open market when the food administration bill was passed and before prices were forced down through governmental interven- tion. The price millers and others in need of wheat were paying, under the nor- mal operation of the law of supply and demand surely should form the basis of present prices. It would be unfair to make the farmer sell for less than the market offered before » governmental price fixing. absolutely " demoralized the grain market. No one can question the fairness of the prices offered for cash wheat at Minneapolis prior to the passage of the food bill. These prices were based | purely upon supply and demand. No speculative factors entered into the fixing of that price at all. The wheat was in demand, the supply was lim- ited and the farmers of the northwest are entitled to what they would have received for this crop had not those prices been depressed by the effect on the market of the food bill. \Let's see how long it takes the coal dealers to get the news that Presi- dent Wilson has cut prices. WHAT BRITAIN WANTS. i What does England want out of the] war? i The question is suzgested by one of the recent phases of ‘lie kaiser’s prop- }\, aganda in this country, as shown in the utterances of some of the kaiser’s senators and some of the kaiser's newspapers. };, These have done their best to cre- |) ate the impression that Britain in some mysterious way is — blocking peace negotiations until she can grab certain advantages, or territories. It is just.as false as all the other stories which the kaiser lovers have sprung. It is false on the whole and ;. false in detail { olm the first place it is not Britain's * say as to when peace shall be de- clared. As the banker of the allies, the United States, through President Wilson, can call the war off at any time. As the principal military power in the alliance, France can do the same thing. What England does want out of the war is best explained by the record of what England has asked for. First—She wants Germany to ge H out of Belgium. She declared war on ; Germany, when Germany refused to stay out of Belgium, and offered Ger- many every opportunity to preserve the peace by submitting every issue to arbitration. Utterly unprepared for war, Britain repudiated every obligation of their joint treaty guaranteeing ‘Belgian neu- trality. Second—Bfitain wants Germany to respect the freedom of the seas—to quit piracy. She also wants Germany to stop the building of a great fleet, the DECLARED POLICY OF WHICH IS THE DISRUPTION OF THE BRi- TISH EMPIRE. Years before the war, Britain proposed to Germany that both powers quit throwing their money away on dreadnaughts and con- fine their navy building within the bounds of common sense. GERMANY REFUSED EVERY TIME. Britain wants Germany to adopt ar- bitration instead of war as the means of settling international disputes. She proposed this to Germany at the Hague and elsewhere many times be- fore the war, AND GERMANY AL+ WAYS REFUSED. Britain wants Germany to respect private property and merchant ships at sea, both in war and peace. She proposed these measures BUT GER- MANY REFUSED. $0. much for the record. Now for the future. ‘Britain certainly wants 2| no commercial privileges from Ger- iffany, as she was carelessly permit- ting German merchants to trade in and.exploit both England and her co- lonial empire before the war, while Germany refused to let England trade with German colonies. She had the right at any time to foliow Germany's own course and give her own merchants and manufacturers preferential tariffs. She never exer- cised this right, BUT GERMANY | DID. 'So much for the German gibberish about Britain's jealousy of German trade. It is well to note that during the war Britain has sacrificed at least a third of her trade to Japan and to neutrals in order to supply her allies with shipping. Instead of “grabbing trade,” Britain has been losing it throughout the war. As to colonies, now that she has taken them, England may not turn the German colonies back to Germany just out of goodness of heart, but all of them together are not worth the price of one month's war. ‘No question about Germany's fever- ridden, flea-bitten African colonies is going to stand in the way of peace. Of course it will be a loss to human- ity if Germany's colonies are returned to her; for her military caste has con- verted them into hell holes for the unfortunate black and brown men who live in them, and no white man —not even a German, can be persuad- ed to emigrate to them, while they are under German rule. There is another thing Britain prob- ably wants—the end of Turkish mur- der and pillage in Armenia, Syria and Mesopotamia. Certainly Britain is not willing for the tender German to suc- ceed the lovely Turk as the owner of this valuable real estate—but Britain has never before nor since the war laid any claim to them herself. If the world powers can set up a system of self-government or govern- ment by an international commission in these harried countries, there will be no opposition in London. What England wants out of the war is exactly what America wants—the victory of democracy and a peace based on justice—a peace which will endure as long as self-governing men are capable of reasoning and govern- ing themselves by the principles of justice and the teachings of Christian- ity. The best answer to all the chatter about Great.Britain today is found in the Australian, Canadian, New Zea- land and South African armies fight- ing in France for democracy. The circle of free commonwealths, self-governed and happy, girdling the globe and bound to, Britain by noth- ing but the sentiment of a common origin and fair, treatment, is the best answer to “What does England want?” They say the Germans have Riga. Oh well, it's soon time for the ice to close that port, anyway. =————- Those ‘heroic Canadians at the front are certainly writing Canada into his- tory in deeds that can never die.

CHAPTER XIV—Vera and_ Hollis agree that for Bascom’s sake the ship must be taken to its destination. Hol- lis learns that Vera is Gerald Carring- ton’s daughter. CHAPTER XV. The Measure of Danger, We were alone, and as our eyes met, she advanced toward me across the deck, her hand extended, “I was only there for a moment, Cap- tain Hollis,” she explained quietly, as thoygh in answer to the silent inquiry of my face. “I was going on deck for a brenth of air, and when I opened the door heard my own name spoken. Quite naturally I listened.” : “Which you had every right to do. I endeavored to get from McCann a pledge not to interfere with. the dis- cipline of the ship, and offered him the freedom of the cabin and after deck, if he would make such a promise.” “And he refused?” “Emphatically; he even accused me of unworthy motives—you heard that?” ‘ She shook her head. “I hardly think so; I heard him offer odds against your ever bringing the Indian Chief into that German port, and—oh, yes, and something about your not getting the girl—what girl?” I smiled, decidedly relieved by the lack of embarrassment in her manner, “Have we so many of your sex on board,” I asked, “as to leave that in any doubt?” “He—he referred to me! Why, I thought it might be something which had occurred on shore—in New York. Whatever was it he said?” - “Why, it seems the fellow guessed who you were in the boat—no doubt had seen you before, and recognized your face as soon as it was daylight. Then, however, it was too late for him to disguise his real self as he had re- vealed it. His actions had made, you despise him, and turn to me for protee tion. Naturally the man judges my motives from his own standpoint. He 1s aware that I am not extremely wealthy—indeed not wealthy at all by his standards, and that you are your father's caughter. Because I serve you is, to his mind, proof positive of a mercenary purpose on my part—that is all.” . Her eyes widened and there was a glow of color in her cheeks. “He—he insinuated that you sought to—to win my gratitude for some re- ward?” 3" “That my father would pay for your sindness to sae?” “Well, Miss Vera,” and I found it extremely hard to choose words, “his thoughts were more direct.” Her face brightened, a sudden gleam humor in her eyes, “Oh, that you wanted to marry me! Isn't it too funny! Do you really think he supposes that true?” “I would not be at all surprised,” I answered, not altogether pleased at her reception of this suspicion. “It is wholly in line with his type. To me, now, the ‘wealth of your father would be the greatest barrier between us.” “There was a time when you never knew I had a wealthy father, or indeed any other kind.” “Was I any the less attentive then?” I retorted. “I recall almost an entire night passed on deck in the vague hope of seeing you.” She laughed, but flashed her eyes up into my face. “Did you, really? I wondered if you were there. But then that was merely curiosity.” “The mystery was attractive, I con- | fess, but Iam not at all sure there was net a growing personal interest also. You ean scarcely conceive the impres- siop_you left on me in the moonlight.” “CONTRABAN A Romance of the North Atlantic by RANDALL P. ; ; pe (Copyright 'A.

You were going on deck?” “For a short time; it would seem a beautiful morning.” We emerged from the companion ‘to- gether, but she lingered at the rail, as I clan™ered up the ladder and greeted Leayord aft of the wheel. It was a broad seaview revealed on every side, nothing in sight but the crested waves sweeping to the distant horizon. The only men I saw were on. the forecastle engaged in clearing up some tackle, excepting a fellow high up in the main crosstrees, with binoculars at his eyes. “You-keep a.good lookout, I see, Mr. Leayord,” I said, peering up at the fig- ure outlined against the sky. “Nothing| Feported?” “Not yet, sir. Mr. Olson said it was all quiet while he was in charge.” He moved over. to the starboard rail, with a glance at the wheelsman, and } joined him, understanding the move- ment. “Your purpose{s to avold vessels tf possible, I presume, captain?” he asked, pointing ont across the water in pretense of admiring the scene. “The fewer we miect with the pleas: anter our voyage, Mr. Leayord,” quiet: She Lingered at the Rall. ly. “By the way, your language it! hardly that of a forecastle hand ; seem: ingly it has changed over night.” He permitted a’ smile to curve his Ups. rs : “Environment, s{r, no doubt. As bosun, I was a bit careless, but now that I've come aft.the speech of a gen- tleman seems. more appropriate.. The fact is I had two years.at Eton, sir.” “Ah, indeed! Well, I’m. not sorry for that. It will make our relations aft much more congenial. You are English born then,'I'take' it?” “Yes, sir; a Bristol man.” “This running of a gontraband cargo to Germany can hardly be altogether to your liking?” He spat over the rail, and drew the sleeve of his jacket. across his lips, at his eyes met mine. “'Twould be more of a pleasure, J admit, captain, to be putting over a trick for the other side,” he answered, his fingers nervously gripping the rail, “put I shipped for this voyage fair enough, and I always held it a sailor's duty to stick to his ship. Once I’m through with this job, sir, and I'll do my hearty bit for old England.” “Well said, Mr. Leayord,” and 1 gripped his hand. “So far as I under- stand this row, my sympathies fire all on your side. I may as well explain to you that I have been induced to as- sume command because of the condi- tion in which I found the owner. As you must know, the man Is a helpless cripple, and his entire fortune is repre- sented by the cargo in this vessel.” “He is a friend of the lady's, sir, I heard Dade say.” “Yes, they knew each other ashore when she was a young girl. It was odd enough for them to have met, out here again, but stranger still I the fact that this fellow McCarn, whom J have locked up below, should have been the cause of Bascom’s present condition.” “You don’t say, sir.” “That is the story as Miss Vera Car- nington tells it. There was a shooting affray in a New York restaurant, over some woman. McCann shot him and bought his way clear.” “He is rich, then?” “The fellow has more money than you and I will ever see, Mr. Leayord. He’s in the only place now where It can do him no’ good.” The mate shook his head doubtfully, ids eyes wandering toward the men at the wheel. wee “I wish I was so. cocksure of that, sir,” he said soberly. “There’s some mighty bad blood forward on this ship, and it's.my Judgment we're not out of the mess yet by a long ways. Those wolves have got a scent of McCann's gold, and they'll never leave the trail until they get it.” “You don’t think they would actually attempt mutiny?” “They’re not calling it that, sir. It’s the cargo aboard, and your determina- tion to land it safe at Hamburg, which is going to make the trouble. There | is only one German in the crew, sir— the rest are all English and Swedes, ex- cept a couple of niggers. The Swedes and niggers will do whatever the oth- ers tell ’em to, an’ the argument fer- | ward, according to‘Dade, is, that it'll be no crime to capture this ship and Tun her-into an.English port. They're not Feady-yet, buE THe devil will break loose presertly, according ‘to, my no- tions, - Wait until they hear what has happened’ to. McCann.” “Well,” I said deliberately, “we shall have to meet whatever comes, Mr. Lea- yord. I talked with McCann again this morning and offered him his freedom aft if he would promise to:keep away from the crew. He refused to accept parolé, so IMocked him up again, Do you suggest any other course?” “No, sir, I don’t,” he said: slowly, after a pause for thought. “This Miss Carrington now, by any chance is she the same lady these two men got to shooting about?” “No, she was not -Involved in the quarrel. McCann had never met her personally until we escaped from the wreck of the yacht together.” “She was,a passenger, also?” “She was the. owner's daughter.” “Then she’s rich, too?” “Her father is one’ of New York’s moultimillionaires. What . difference does that make, Mr. Leayord?” “Nothing, much, likely,” ‘he an- swered, leaning against the rail, his eyes on the distant bank of cloud, “only maybe we might play money against money in this game, with a fair chance to win. I reckon gold, no mat- ter where it comes from, would look good. to those devils forward.” “Scarcely a manly act on our part to suggest such a thing.” “Well, I don’t know about that, sir,” he insisted stubbarnly. “I reckor old man Carrington, would be willing enough to pay the price, rather than bave his girl left in the hands of those fellows. They'll de no lambs if they ever get control of the ship, But may- be you know best, sir.” I left him. and walked forward to! where I could look down on the main deck. As deeply as I despised the thought of ever resorting to this lust suggestion -muade by Leayord, yet I could not remain. entirely Indifferent | to its possibilities, If matters.on board were, indeed, as serious as he pictured them, our situation was far from pleas- ant. To keep on probably meant a bat- tle to preserve the ship, and involved not only our own rough handling, oven possible death in the melee, but also unspeakable horror to the woman left | b alone, and unprotected, on board. What would be her fate if we failed to up- hold discipline, and those unbridled rufflans once obtained control of the : vessel? The thought staggercd me. Yet I could reach no other conclu- sion except to continue the voyage, meeting its problems as they present- ed themselves. There was no turning ' back now. All hope lay in keeping Mc- | Cann prisoner, entirely isolated from | his confederates, and dealing with the men forward with a harsh firmness sufficient to strike terror into their souls, The slightest movement of re- volt on their part must be my signal for action. i The day held fair, with a stiff breeze blowing over the port quarter, and the expanse of sea about us vacant of either sail or smoke. As noon ap- proached I had Dade fetch the. sextant from the captain’s stateroom, and took my observation with considerable ; care, -going below to work out my fig- | ures alone, as the many years. passed ashore had Left me a bit doubtful of my facility. No one appeared to take any | deep interest in the event, nithough I noted a group of men forward watch- ing as I disappeared. With nothing to guide me, or check my figures with on the chart, I went over them twice to be assured of ac- curacy, finally marking our position as carefully as possible, and determin- ing cur future course. Leayord had just been called for his watch, and both officers were upon the after deck, | waiting for my appearance. They re- mained silent as I approached, and, as I turned and faced forward, my eyes observed a largely increased grouping of men about the forecastle, and all staring aft. : “Are both watches on deck, Mr. Lea- yord?” I asked. “Has there been any call for all hands?” “No, sir,” he answered, his own gaze shifting, “It’s the change of watch, and the second mate’s men haven't gone below yet. Maybe the cook is slow, or else they are a bit curious to find out where the ship is, sir, Would you mind giving them the figures?” “Not at all; the wheelsman would spread the news fast enough as soon as relieved. We are at fifty-two de- gress, thirty-five minutes west longi- tude, and forty degree. ‘ten minutes north latitude, approximately.” “And where does that put us from New York?” “About five hundred miles, a little north of cast; Halifax is the nearest port, two hundred and seventy-five miles nor’ nor’ by west. We are be- tween ,the North Atlantic steamer lanes and the direct course to the Med- iterranean, more in line with the Azores, I should say. That occouats for the deserted sea—we're out of the beaten track.” ‘. “How's the coal, sir?” “All but one bunker full yet; we'll not steam heavy except tonight.” “Personally I don’t see any objection | to making a try of it,” Leayord. sdded, “but I don’t know how the crew may feel. This isn’t exactly the sort of voyage they shipped for.” “We may as well test them first as last,” I said determined to have it over with. “Both watches are mostly on deck. Have the bosun call them aft.” The fellows responded quickly enough, a few slouching along in pre- tended indifference, but the majority exhibiting a real interest. Liverpool Red stood directly below me, a step in| advance of his mates. His cap hid his eyes, but there was an ugly, defiant grin on his face, which angered me. + “Well, men,” I said, wasting no time | in soft phrasing, “I’ve called you aft for a straight talk. You shipped on the Indian Chief for a voyage to Ham- burg—” 2 “Who said we did?” a voice inter- rupted. “The most of us was shang: haied.and brought aboard drunk.” — 2 STi aas Teoay ToGo Wina aie,” 1 replied sharply. “I was not the-skip- per then; but I am now. Your names are on the papers regularly enough, and the only thing I need to explain is the necessity for a change in our sailing course. As most of you know, war has broken out in Europe:since this ship cleared from Baltimore, The chances are about a hundred to one that we would be captured, or sunk, if we tried to reach our port through the Channel.” ( J Oe ie “By whom” It was Liverpool who spoke, “English or French warships.” “It's a d—— Dutch cargo then. we've got in the hold: » That's ‘the way I fig- ured: it. “Well,. now look here, sir. Smitz is the only Dutchman aboard, an’ the rest-ov us don’t take kindly to | that sort o’ job.” “You're sallormen, and shipped on this voyage before ever war. was de- clared. Now will you listen to me un- til I get through?” “Ah, let him talk, Red,” someone in- terjected. - I outlined my plan in as few words as possible, and they seemed to listen respectfully enough, only occasionally interjecting a question. Liverpool did “Would You Mind if a Couple of Us Had a Glance at the Chart?” not speak at all, nor Jim. White, who had pushed his way forward, until I concluded, Then the latter asked sud- denly: . “Would you guind ff a couple of us had a glance at that chart? ~Maybe we'd see it clearer then.” “Certainly, you’ can all look at It. Mr. Olson, take the chart down there, und point out the lines so the men can see where We are.” ' They crowded about, erdeavoring to gain a glimpse, although probably not half a dozen among them possessed the faintest conception of what. the \varl- ous markings signified. Liverpool and White, however, got down on: their knees, and followed Olson’s. stubby forefinger closely, as he traced the pro- posed course. White appeared rather the more intelligent, asking a question or two before regaining his feet. “I.was on the Labrador coast once, sir,” ‘he said, turning his face toward where I stood waiting, “but that don’t help me much to get ‘this _ thing straight. It’s to be a north course to- night then, so as to take us through the steamer lane before daylight?” “Yes.” “And where would we be about day- light tomorrow morning?” “I can only guess at that, not know- ing the exact shape our engines are in, or the probable speed of the ship. But we ought to be close to fifty degrees west and about forty degrees, twenty minutes north, EF should say.” “How far away from land?” “One hundred and fifty miles to the east and south of Cape Race.” “Cape Race!” broke in Liverpool. “I've heard o’ that point—it’s south of a harbor called St. John’s. Here it is, marked on the chart, Jim.” He pointed it out with a dingy fore- finger, and the two stared at the spot for a minute hefore they got to their feet again. I waited, but neither glance at their faces. “All right then, you can go forward. If any of you wish to ask any questions later I shall be glad to answer them.” They disappeared .witkout demon- stration, talking among. themselves, yet to all appearances the conference had not deeply impressed the crew, They seemed a stolid, dull-witted bunch, even Liverpool and White slouching back to the forecastle, with scarcely the exchange of a word. Ol- son rolled up the chart, and clambered up the ladder to where I stood beside the first mate. For 9 moment he clung to the rail watching the last of the men disappear. : “Well, I'll be durned,” he said al- most under his breath. “What is It, Mr. Olson?” “That’s just what I don't know, sir,” he answered slowly. “One guess is as good as another, sir, but I’m mighty near certain of one thing—they haven't no intention of goin’ to Hamburg. Even Liverpool and White showed no inter. est, except in one point.” “You mean where the ship will be to- morrow morning?” “Just that; and it’s going to be to- morrow morning when they show their hand. Till then, sir we'll have a model crew. That’s the way I see it.” “Which theory looks reasonable enough,” I acknowledged, after a pause, “although {t's more my judg- ment that the arrest of McCann has left them leaderless. I am not really looking for any more-serious trouble. However, we'll be ready for it, if it tomes.” (To be continued.) wa Marguerite Clark in Washington” Miss George at the,Grand and Bis.
