It is the remorse that eats into the heart, always. But Mrs. De Saulles’ story is not at all a new one. It is the old, old, story of a girl in her teens fascinated by the glitter and caring nothing for the gold in a man. Whis girl pays heavily, in tragedy.

DECEMBER 6, 1917 FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION PLANS STIMULATE STOCK Immediate Effect of Government Operation is to Give New ' Tone to Market. FEATURES FOLLOW RAILS New York, Dec. 5.—Second only in impoortance to the president’s stirring address to congress yesterday and ev- en more potent as a market stimulant, was the report submitted to that body by the Interstate Commerce commis- sion bearing vitally upon the future of the railroads of this country. It is yet too early to forecast even to an approximate degree the effect of , the commerce commission's recom-' mendations, but the course of the stock market following the publica- tion of the report left no doubt of its immediate significance. Strong Rebound From Low.

The market closed firm, 5 to Ic net higher, with Jan. 121% and May 119% to 119%. Oats gained 114 to 1% and 6 provisions 50c to $1. Notwithstanding that a slight tend- ency to sag was noticeable at the out- set in the corn market, prospects of new price fixing legislation appeared to have lost force as an element of depression. Unfulfillment of ‘hopes that arrivals would materially in- crease and that rural offerings would broaden out led to a hardening of values, and there was a decided fur- ther display of bullish sentiment after a rise in the oats market to fresh high price records for the season. The scar- city of corn available for immediate delivery was emphasized by an ad- vanc of 5 to 10c Leing quoted for new crop supplies. eulges in the price of oats resulted chiefly from the fact that stocks here Switzerland, the Scandinavian neu- trals and maybe Spain. Rest assured that her war preparation included work upon these nations. Stopped on the battle fronts, she can still do her secret, subtle fighting back of the lines. Prolonging a defensive war, she can play for war weariness, through seduction of the neutrals and with the kind assistance of such as Lansdowne and other pacifist politi- icans of international note. FOR PEACE THAT WILL BE PEACE Lansdowne fears that, if long con- tinued, the war will destroy civiliza- tion. ; Very well, let us fight it to a finish, as early as possible. Lansdown: like all other peace propositions, is wrecked upon the fol- lowing: : 1, That any peace treaty with Ger- man autocracy would be worthless. 2, That peace which does not in- clude annihilation of Prussian mili- tarism means more armament by the nations and finally more war. Throughout the world there is no onsible jperson but realizes that these ings are the invulnerable truth. Peace talk merely befogs the issue— permanent pete, THE PENALTY IS CERTAIN. Mrs. De Saulles has been acquitted and given the boy whom she loves so well. But she is greatly to be pitied be ied at 16, she must find herself, in almost the very dawn of mother-| hood, haunted by the ghost of the father of her child whom she slew. ‘What matters It to a woman that she was mentally unbalanced?

Very likely that boy will be “the y very image of his father,”” a rmory. cally improved. jing plan would fail to meet war exi- gencies, sclared, ‘because of the unavoida le influence of, selfishness among roads. 4 There was no disagreement as to the propositiens that com ition. among railroads must ‘be diminished, if not. altogether eliminated, to pre- vent a serious breakdown of transpor- tation facilities under tue war's strain.
