BY FRANK That package—and the ‘crimson stain! It seemed to make of itself a curiously appropriate foreground for a pleture that spread away Into a vista of limitless years: An orphan school, with its cracked walls, and the painted mottoes whose" scrolls |&gaped where the cracks wer swirl of horses reaching madly down the stretch, a roar of hoarse, delirious shouts, elated oaths around the book- maker's paying-stnad, pinched faces on the outer fringes of this ring; a thirst intolerable, stark pain, the bru- tal jolting of a boxcar through the nights, hours upon hours of a horror that ended only with the loss of con- sciousness; walls that reared them- selves so high that they seemed to stand sentinels against the invasion of even a ray of sunl.ght, steel bars, and doors, and bolts that clanged, and clanged, until the sound ate iike some cancerous thing into the soul itself; and then wolves, human wolves, rav- enous wolves, between two packs of them, the police on the one hand, the | underworld on the other, that snarled and tore at him, while he fought them for his life. A All that! That was the price he had ipaid for that package there—that, and that crimson stain. He swept his hand across his eyes. His face grew set, and his jaws locked hard together. No. he wasn't sure yet that even that was all—that the pack- age there was even yet finally and ir- revocably his—to do with as he liked. There was last night—The Iron Tav- jern—the police again. Was there a connecting link trailing behind him? What had become of the Scorpion? What story had the man perhaps told? Were the police looking for an unknown man—who was Dave Hen- derson; and looking for an unknown woman—who was Teresa? ‘Well, before long now, surely, he would know—when Millman got back.

"He had bruises on his head which the police attributed to a fight with Dago George. Dago George, the police assume, woke up to discover the men breaking into his room. They attacked him. He man- +aged to shoot Bookie Skarvan and grappled with Cunny the Scorplon— the Scorpion’s clothing, somewhat torn, and the Scorpion’s brulses bear this out. But in order to account for the time it would have taken to crack the safe, the police belleve that the Scorpion at this time ordy knocked Dago George out temporarily. Then later, while the Scorpion worked at the safe, Dago George recovered suf- ficlently to rush and snatch at the phone and shout his lpgen] for help into It; and then the Scorpion laid Dago George's head open with the blow that killed him, using one of the burglar's tools as the weapon.

(Concluded in TOMOITOW'S S.ar.) Wrote Japanese Premier TOKIO, November 5.—Probably the last public statement on world affairs by Premier Hara, who was slain in Toklo yesterday, appeared in the latest number of the Diplomatic Review. The prime minister was discussing what he called Japan's peace policy. His remarks created interest because of the approaching Washington rgn- ference. So long as one race or people, the premier continued, sticks to its tradi- tional conceit, looks down upon other races or peoples, sets up unwarrant- able barriers or metes out discrim- inatory treatment it can hardly be said that the causes of war have ceased to exist. He believed the essential conditions to world peace to include that no race shall adopt measures calculated to compel the suicide of another race; that perfect equality is essential to their existence and elevation, and that the supply of materials necessary for the clothing, feeding and residence of mankind shall be distributed among the nations as equally as possible. He added: “In other words, the unequal distribution of the necessary supplies of life among the nations owing to the selfish desires of one nation or nations will constitute a serious menace to peace.” Barriers Are Menace.

The uomém‘ delightfully surprise you. et Mr. Hara went on: “It is true that there are differences among all races of the world in the color of their skin, their physique, their customs and manners, their languages, their re- ligious _beliefs, etc, but these differ- ences do mot constitute a danger to peace. What really tends to discord is the discriminatory treatment or the unnecessary barriers adopted on the plea of these differences. “When Japan was aroused from her seclusion, extending over several centuries, some of the great powers had already been comfortably en- sconced in different parts of the world, and they were beginning to bring their irresistible influence to bear on the countries of the far east. If Japan had failed to hold the position firmly, it is not at all improbable that she might have lost her existence. to maintain her position in the face of great difficulties, and at last she has been enabled to develop as a great power in the east. Says Japan Is Far Behind. After referring to the world's ad- mission that Japan is one of the five great powers, and pointing out that as one of the leading members of the league of nations she has been in- trusted with the maintenance of the peace of the far east, Mr. Hara affirmed that it should be borne in mind that “the real position of Japan in international politics is far behind that of the other powers, and it would be & great mistake to think that she ! really deserves the position assigned to_her.” Japan’s goal should be to remove international inequalities, he sald. Japan's population is steadily increas- ing and the country is suffering more and more from the scarcity of her food supply. He continued: “If the whole efforts of a nation must be devoted to the obtaining of food and if no surplus energies are left for the advancement of civilization, the futurs of tiltl nation is gloomy indeed. The Japanese nation is face to face with such a situation. It is, therefore, necessary that the nation intrusted with the task of maintaining the peace of the far east should be immune from such troubles. For this reason the throw- ing open of the world to all comers is one of the essential conditions of permanent peace. 5 “I do not necessarily insist” on an unconditional throwing open of the world, but it should at least be thrown open so that the free, unrestricted transportation of all supplies may be facilitated by the removal of all ar- tificial economio barriers and the se. curity of living may be guaranteed. As it was, however, Japan enlelvnredl Iyou, but In other words, the security of food supply, clothing and dwelling should be guaranteed to all the nations of the world, weak and strong allke, so that equal opportunity may be given them for the enjoyment of happiness incidental to the existence of man- kind.” Japan, the premier wrote, was ever ready to enter Into a perfect un- derstanding with the United States, “without whom no work of intern- tional import can be accomplished. It is clear that a rapprochement be- tween the United States, Great Britain and Japan will have the effect of re- moving the causes of unrest in the world and of guaranteeing its per- manent peace.” Foreign Policy Based on Justice. After Insisting that Japan wanted to see a reconstructed and solid China and that Japan's only ambition in Siheria was the restoration of her economic activities, Mr. Hara said that Japan's foreign policy is base on international justice and friendly co-operation with the powers. He concluded: “At the Washingtor conference we are prepared to dis cuss such fundamental theories asare necessary to secure the opening o’ the world to all the races, the re moval of artificial barriers and the se curity of life for mankind and to work for the gealization of these aims with the co-operation of the powers.” [ITTLE STORIES F BEDTIME Peter Tries Paddy the Beaver BY THORNTON W.

Peter sat on the bank of the Smil- ing Pool a while longer, but finding that Jerry was as good as his word and wouldn’t talk any more, he final- ly started up the bank of the Laugh- ing Brook into the Green Forest to- ward the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
