Also there is some uncertainty as to the amount | of capital levies that will be made to | meet the payments to the allies. This problem is not new, of course. Tt has b v can banking institutions, which have | been careful to protect their invest-| ors, but the further development of German business, especially abroad, is | mpeded by the uncertainty and until | the air is cleared American funds, which have been abundant this year, will be withheld to a large extent. Only now and then when interest payments can be assumed to come from sources outside of Germany through the intricacies of international | I exchange have loans been made with i instant succ Municipalitie: borrow money. There has been little doubt about the merit of such German Joans but the attitude of the repara- tions commission toward the priority in future years of reparation pay- ments over all else has beclouded the situation. Bankers May Exert Pressure. So in the next several months the expectation is that thé bankers of the world will exert pressure for a solu- | tion. They are not likely to wait till th: last minute. Some American economists and industrial leaders like Bernard M. Baruch, for instance, who was responsible for the economic clauses of the Versailles conference, believe that when the payments on the Dawes plan are adjusted to meet the conditions of the hour, the world will go forward to a prosperity un- heard of in history. There is, of course, a different frame of mind in the allied world today than even three years ago. No longer is it a question of national pride or re- ‘venge. France, like Great Britain, rec- ognizes that Germany should be per- mitted to pay the allies only such sums as will not disturb world exchange: | This means some modification of the Dawes plan, but the principal feature of that project was elasticity—it was to provide a means whereby the na- tions of the world could handle the reparation problem as an economic and mot a political matter. The bankers of all countries, espe- cially of the allied’ nations, now are vitaily interested in preserving an equilibrium. Practically all countries have at least agreed on the amounts due war debts, and the payments are by ro means heavy in the next 5 or 10 vears. By the time Armistice day comes around next year the hope of the American Government, American bankers and business men, as well as the leaders of finance throughout the world, is that the great problem of transfer of reparation payments will have been solved. It will be a mark ©of economic peace. (Covyright. 1927.) —e. OHARLES PFISTER DEAD; MILWAUKEE CAPITALIST Kong an Outstanding Figure in City’s Industrial, Financial and Political Life.

So far I lack proof; I have only theory. And the ‘Yard, too, has its theory. It is a very common dis- ease. The theory of the Yard is that the man I believe to be guilty of these crimes of today died somewhere around the middle stages of the war.' “By Jove.” Capt. Francis New- combe leaned sharply forward on n}‘e‘ arms of his chair. “‘You don’t say The old baronet wrinkled his bro’ and was silent for a moment. . “It's quite extraordinary, }?e “,fl at last, with a puzzled smile. 1 can{. for the life of me understand how' got on this subject, for I think we were dhscussxing der(t;)lc'{acy—but you appear to be interested. = o ressing it mildly,” sald v f territorials earnestly. the ex-captain of “hY.ou c;\l:)'! in common decency relléa‘: me the rest of the story now, Harris.” “There is no reason that I know of why 1 should,” said the old baronet.

It was dur- ing _the war.” s':‘hgo." said the other thoughtfully, “I can't say 1 do, Idon’t think I ever heard of it.” o “Well, perhaps’ you wouldn't,” nod- ded the old baronet. “It happened at a time when, from what you've said, 1 would imagine you were in the ranks and—however, it doesn't matter. The point is that the robbery at Lord See- ton’s is amazingly like, I could almost say, each and every one of this series of robberies that is taking place today. The same exact foreknowledge, the hidden wall safe, or hiding place, or repository, or whatever it might be, that was supposedly known only to the family; the utter absence of any clue; the complete disappearance of— shall we call it—the loot itself? There is only one difference. In the case of Lord Seeton the jewels—it was prin- cipaily a jewel robbery—were even- tually recovered. They were found in Paris in _the ‘possession of Shadow Varre. But"—the old baronet smiled a little grimly again—‘the police were not to blame for that. Sir Harris Greaves, amateur crimi- nologist, reverted to his tumbler of Scotch and soda. Capt. Francis Newcombe knocked the ash from his cigarette with little taps of his forefinger. “Yes?"” he said. “If's a bit of a story,” resumed the old baronet slowly. “Yes, quite a bit of a story. I do not know how Shadow Varne got to Paris; I simply know that, had he not taken sick, neither he nor the jewels would ever have been found. But perhaps I am getting a little too far ahead. I think I ought to say that Shadow Varne, although he had never actually up to this time been known in a physical sense to the police, had established for himself a widespread and international reputa- tion. His name here, for instance, among the criminal element of our own east end was a sort of talisman, something to conjure with, as it were, though no one could ever be found who had seen him or could say how he got the name Shadow. Some describe the man. I suppose that is how they must._have known him, of course, but they were tight-lipped; and even these, t T am inclined to believe, would never have been able to lay fingers on him, even had they dared. He was at once an inscrutable and diabolical character, 1 would say, and in this at least'Scot- land Yard will agree with me. He seemed like some evil, unembodied spirit upon whom one ceuld never come in a tangible sense, but that hov- ered always in the background, domi- nating, permeating with his person- ality the criminal world.” “‘But if this is so, if no one knew him, or had even seen him,” said the ex-captain of territorials, in a puzzled way, ‘“how was he recognized as Shad- ow Varne in Paris?” “I am coming to that,” sald the old Post Office Department, as a first lieu- tenant in the ordnance department. baronet quietly. “As you know very well, in those days they were always wcombe shook his head. ou may remember the robbery at Lord Seeton’s C., SATURDAY, N Hidden Treasure, Love, the Underworld Mingle in This Romance By Frank L.

A few nights later he escaped from the hospital; but he was still too sick a man to stand the pace and they were too close on his heels. He had possibily, all told, a couple of hours of liberty. run- ning, dodging through the streets of Paris. The chase ended somewhere on th~ bank of the Seine. He was fired at here as he ran and though quite a / A ‘No,” he said. “Possibly, then,” few yards in the lead he appeared to have been hit, for he was seen to stag- ger, fall, then recover himself and go on. He refused to halt. They fired and hit him again—or so_ they believ- ed. He fell to vhe ground—and rolled over the edge into the water. And that was the last that was ever seen of him.™ “My word!” ejaculated the ex-cap- tain of territorials again. “That's a due deference to you, Sir Harris, that 1 can’t see anything wrong with Scot- land Yard's deduction. I fancy he's dead, fast enough.” “Yes,” said the old baronet delib- erately, “I imagine you would say £o; and I, too, would agree were it not for two reasons. First, had it been any other man than Shadow Varne; and, second, that the body was never recovered.” “But,” objected Capt. Francis New- combe, “if, as you believe, the man is still carrying on, having been iden- tified once, he would, wouldn't you say, be recognized again?” Not at a said the old baronet decidedly. “You must take into ac- count the man's sick and emaciated condition when he was caught and the subsequent hospital surroundings. Let those who saw him then see the same man today, robust, in health, and in an entirely different atmosphere, lo- cality and environment. Recognized? I would lay long odds against it, even leaving out of account the man's known ingenuity for evading recog- nition.” The ex-captain of territorials nod- ded thoughtfully. “Yes,” he said, “that is quite pos- sible; but, even granting that he is still alive, I can't see—"" “Why I should believe he is at the bottom of what is going on today here in London?” supplied the old bar- onet quickly. “Perhaps intuition, perhaps the mystery about the man who has interested me from the time 1 first heard of him in the early years of the war, and which has ever since been a fascinating study with me, has something to do with it. I told you to be; with that my proof was theory. But I believe it. I do not say he is alone in this, or was alone in the Lord Seeton affair; but he is cer- tainly the head and front and brains of whatever he was or is engaged in. As for the similarity of the cases, I will admit that might be pure coin- cidence, but we know that ‘Shadow Varne did have the Seeton jewels in his possession. The strongest point, however, that I have to offer in a tan- gible sense, bearing in mind the man himself and his hideously elusive prop- pensities, is the fact that there is no absolute proof of his death. Why wasn't his body recovered? You will answer me probably along the same lines that the Paris police argued and that were accepted by Scotland Yard. You will say that it was dark and the body might not have come to the sur- face immediately, and under the ex- isting conditions, by the time they pro- cured a boat and began their search it might easily be missed. Very good. That is quite possible. But why, then. was not the body eventually recovered two or three days—a week, if you like? You will say that this would probably be very far indeed from be- ing the first instance in which a body was never recovered from the Seine. And here, too. you would be quite right. But I do not beliéve it. I do not believe it was a dead man, or 2 man mortally wounded or a man wounded so badly that he must inevi- tably drown who pitched helplessly into the water that night. I believe he did it voluntarily and with consid- ered cunning, as the only chance he had. Go into the east end. Listen to the stories you will hear about him. The world does not get rid of such as he so easily. The man is not human. The crimes he has committed would turn your blood cold. He is the most despicable, the most wanton thing that T ever heard of. He would kill with no more compunction than you would break in two that match you are hold- ing in your hand. Where he came from God only knows, and—" A club attendant had stopped beside the old baronet’s chair. “Yes?” said the old haronet. “I beg your pardon, Sir Harris, but your car is here,’ announced the man. “Very good! Thank wyou.” The old bagonet drained his glass and stood up. “Well, you have heard the story, captain,” he said with a dry smile. “I shall not embarrass you by asking you to decide between Scotland Yard and myself, but I shall at least ex- pect you to admit that there is some slight justification for my theory.” The ex-captain of territorials, as he rose in courtesy, shook his head quietly. “I£ 'L felt only that way about it,” he said slowly, “I should simply thank you for a very interesting story and your confidence. As it is, there is so mueh justification I feel impelled to say to vou that if this man is what you describe him to be, is as dan gerous as you say he is, I would ad nice end.

Francis Newcombe watched the other leave the room, then he walked over to the window. The driz- zle had developed nto a downpour with gysts of wind that now pelted the rain viclously at the window panes. He frowned at the streaming glass. A moment later, as he moved away from the window, he consulted his watch. It was a quarter past 11. Downstairs he secured his hat and stick and spoke to the doorman. “Get a taxi, please, Martin,” he re- ted, “and tell the chap to drive in all serious and then under the shelter of the doorman’s umbrella entered the taxi.

The $270,000 traffic light program of Traffic Director William }. Harland has undergone 15 important changes a8 a result of objections by street car nd motor bus companies to certain proposed installations which they claimed would interfere with operat- ing schedules, it was announced today at the District Building. The changes were agreed to by Mr. Harland at joint conferences with the Public Utilities Commission and repre- sentatives of the transportation com- panies, and early approval by the Dis- t Commissioners of the entire pro- gram 1s expected. The Commissioners cod to the program in principle ccveral days ago, but directed Mr. Harland to revise it to meet the ob- jectious of the street car and bus com- panies before submitting it for tinal ratification. Eight Installations Cut Out. The principal changes involve the elimination of eight of the- isolated intersection installations contained in th&traflic director’s original program and the substitution of five intersec- tion installations where the lights are expected to benefit the street cars and motor busses. Two intersection lights in the pro- posed block installations also were eliminated. One of these was taken from Thirteenth and E streets in the synchronized system planned to run on I street from Thirteenth to North Capitol street. This installation now will extend from Twelfth and I streets to North Capitol and E streets. The other light was removed from Sixth street and Maryland avenue northeast in the synchonized system proposed to run on Maryland avenue northeast from Second to Fifteenth streets, The Thirteenth and E street installa- tion was eliminated, it was said, be- cause of the numerous number of left turns made by vehicular traffic at this intersection, which it was fear- ed would block traffic on the Thir- teenth street grade between E and F streets should a light be placed at this point. The light at Sixth and Maryland avenue W removed be- cause of the complications that might arise around Stanton Square with the street cars running the wrong way on a one-way street. May 0.

The insolated intersection projects eliminated were proposed for the fol- lowing points: Wisconsin avenue and | and Florida avenue, First and B streets southeast, Connecticut avenue and Calvert street, Massachusetts avenue and North Capitol street, Fifteenth street and Madison place and Florida avenue and KEighteenth street. In| their stead, the installations will be | 1t the following intersections: Florida avenue and Eckington place north- | east, Twenty-second and P _streets, | Connecticut avenue and Kalorama | road, Eighth and E Capitol streets| and Twelfth street and New York | avenue. | The Commissioners probably will formally approve the revised pro- gram_at their semi-weekly meeting sday, and bids for the numerous lights will be advertised immediately, in order that the $270,000 fund can be expended or obligated before De- cember 31.
