The disappearance of the Merli nd of my party was a matter for »mment and speculation not only in merica, but in England, for we ere supposed to be the first victims f the ratders. The pilot of the air- slane which had passed us that day fter our capture had reported sight "% us, and that wo were heading i »0d shape for Caracas. The conclu- sion was ultimately arrived at that we had either met with an accldent T had been sent down by the ralders nd sunk in the sea. We were given p for loet. and Dan and I had the 1oubtful pleasure of reading our own )bituary notices. The anxlety of my ather and his sorrow for my sup- hosed demise gave me a great deal »f concern, a feeling shared by Dan nd Milliken on account of their re- Intlons and friends. But we were forbidden to attempt any communica- tion with the outside world, nor vould the Chlef permit the sending any message that might have al- ‘ayed the d of our friends, since t would perhaps have been obvious hat we had been captured some- where on our journey from Guaya- il, a revelation that might have brought greater numbers of search- ers on our trail. We knew, from the American papers, that both Didcot ind Dick Schuyler, on new Merlins, were Searching the Caribbean and Antilles for some trace of us. Our days in the cavern were full of Interest. At first, Milliken and myself had been content to go about looking around us, but as week after week T we found our hands could mo longer keep still, and we began to help the company in small ways that did not offend our con- sciences. With Lord Devonridge and Haynes, and with one MOgKS, an ex- gamekeeper of the former, we went out hunting, and we found the three Englishmen excellent companions. Our hunting expeditions had to be worked In between raids, for both Devonridge and Haynes had special dutles on the ships. The ralds were always made In pairs. The first ship would go out with 25 men or so aboard, and on its return the second ship would depart immediately with a fresh crew, ex- cept for the Chief, Seton, and a few of the officers, who seemed capable of sustaining the most prolonged strains. At the end of the second voyage a period of rest would ensue, and then the process would be started all over a L A mont was now installed definitely as entific helper to the Chief, and, save that he did not ac- company the leader on the raids, he worked untiringly. His adherence to Dan | the cause of the League did not bring any egtrangement between him and Millikén and myself. Our views with regard to the members of the League had taken on a complete change of color, for the sincerity actuating these men was unmistak- able, and 1 truly think that both secrotly envied our comrade his the course his conscience dictated. However that 1 be, Milliken and I could not find it in our hearts to take the same step, and I dare say the thought of Kirsteen Torrance was in the mind of Milliken as much as in my own. If we could have de- clared our purpose to her, and could have put the ideal that underlay the operations of the League before her, the step might have been possible. For myself, as an additional factor, I still had the President’s commission in my pocket, and until T could hand it back to him in honesty, I could not depart from its terms. But I am certain that the opinion of Kirsteen counted most with me. Yet, with this enforced aloofness to the purpose of the League it -v not possible for either Milliken o myself to regard its operation with- out something of a thrill. That the struggle between those selfiess men and the world at large was nearing its climax could not be doubted. Each new demonstration of the power of the League was more amazing than its precursor. Towns were attacked —Iif that word may be used regard- ing raids so careful of human life— with more open methods each time No longer was the approach made In the dead of night. The airship would come down on & city In broad day, and the business of creating chaos in sommerce would be gone o ooling as In the night. he best efforts of the authorities gainst the raiders were completely 1seless. Jach day it became more ertain that the world was at the mercy of the League of the Covenant. The marvel was that the several gov- ernments remained so stubborn Of the feats performed by the Ark of hte Covenant, its flight across the Paoific to Japan—where Tokio and okohama were subjected to similar reatment to that suffered by New York in the first raid of all—was in some ways the most amazing. The Japanese, who were perhaps the most deserving of a lesson from the league by reason of their everlasting itch for power through the agenoy of war, had obvious.y regarded the problem affecting the Western Hemisphere with a degree of complacency. The raid on the capital and chief seaport of the eastern empire went far to de- stroy this Japanese smugness and sense of security. Here, by the very unexpectedness of the raid as a result of that complacency, the panic caused was greater than anywhere else, anu the Pacific radio stations simply hum- med in the next days with the frantic messages that emanated from Japan to the other powers. This was the most daring of the ralds. On a Sunday night in August the Ark of the Covenant set out on its long flight over the Pacific. Sixty hours' lefsurely crulsing — leisurely for the Ark—brought the ship over Toklo just after m:dnight. Two hours were occupled in & very thorough demonstration, in which the gold chests of the Japanese war fund were sadly depleted, and after a casual re- plenishing of the alrship's gasoline tanks from a handy oil ship Yoko- hama was descended upon in the first gray of dawn. Here the second chap- ter of a smart lesson was read Nippon, and the Ark of the Covenant Immedi- ately set out on the return voyage In spite of the throwing out of cor- dons of alr scouts along the Pacific coast of America, on request of those frantic cables from Japan, the alrship was berthing in her hangar cave at dusk on the Friday night. The raid on Japan brought matters to a head. The powers of the West- ern Hemispbere had been working together for a long time, pooling their ldeas, as far as international jealousies would permit, for the scotching of the raiders. Now Japan made a tardy entrance into the fray, and for the first time since the be- ginning of the raids all the pow ut as were in something of an agreement for @ single purpose. But to enter into a parley with the league formed no part of thelr mutual understand- ing. It seemed as If the several govern- ments considered it beneath their dignity to disouss terms with mere pirates. All they decided was to adopt further measures for forcibly removing the menace to their happy pursuit of trade snatching, scabbard- rattling, truculent schemes; but that they were at a loss for further methods to accomplish this alm the reports by radio left no room for doubt. This was the moment chosen by the chief of the league for Issuing his ultimatum to the world in general. The uitimatum was addressed through the President df the United States. “From the League of the Covenant to Bring Peace on Earth (it ran) to the President of the United States of America. “Sir: The object of the League of the Covenant has been put before you heretofore in brief. It is now set out in full for the firat and last time “The League of the Covenant is com- posed of men who have suffered in the past from the horror of war, and that in the patriotic service of their various countries. They are deter- mined that never again, if they can prevent it, will war be seen on the face of the earth. To this end, for the last five months the league has been demonstrating by humane meth- ods the powersit has for enforcing fts will on the nations. “The efforts of all the governments against the operations of the league have been of no avall. The league exists unharmed. “But tfme has passed, and the sev- eral nations who have felt the power of the league have made no attempt to enter into negotiation with its members. ‘The time is approaching, therefore, when the League of the Covenant must lay aside its former humane methods and exert the terrible power it truly possesses. It is in the power of the league utterly to destroy man- kind, to bring about the end of this cosmic day and bring & new dawn in the history of the universe. This wil the League of the Covenant do rather than fail in its object. Let there be no mistake. The League of the Cove- nant has deliberately brought chaos into the world's commerce, o that its power should be understood Should its fiat not be obeyed it will put humanity beyond even the need of commerce. “And here is the flat of the League of the Covenant: “The armies of all countries through- out the world shall be disbanded, all weapons of war shall be destroyed, all ships and air vessels of war shall be scrapped and the materfals con- verted to peaceful uses. Only suff- cient men and material of war shall be left for that polios work made necessary by the uncivilized state of mankind ‘For the carrying out of this flat rep- resentatives of the nations of the world shall be gathered in \\'usmng- ton under your P A Perfected Jewelry Service With Better Values the Rule Quality Diamonds with prices.
