"WAR TO THE GRIM END The Speaker of the Japanese House of Represgntatives recently advised’ a mass meeting in Tokyo that Japan must utterly destroy=the United Staty and Britain or be destZoyed. } There is every prospect that the Jap- enese official spoke the solemn truth. The grim nature of the global. war, as he said, “will permit no half-baked distinction be- tween wictor and vanquished.” Tlie people of the United States should not ovéflook the fact that this country, and the Brifish, for many years exhibited tan- gible eYidences of good-will to the Japanese people>The conflict -that has resulted springs: not from. Anglo-American aggres- | sion bus from the brutal and treacherous at- tack lalinched by Tokyo war lords. THe statement of Takahido Okada, Japane§e speaker, is interesting because he admitsthat “there is absolutely no room for the coexistence of Japan on one side and Great Britain and the United States on the; other’’-and because he says that these two countries represent ness ingarnate.” THe United States is accused of “at-|| temptifig to contro) Europe across the At-| lantic gnd East Asia across the Pacific in an ou ism.” Ta brief, action of “extreme imperial-| ism. “cruelty and ease a i Te people of Japan will naturally be-' lieve what the Speaker of the House tells’ them.

He contracted a serious malady, was operated on, and remained in bed for several months, While he was convalescing he wrote a drama, which turned out to be and both were successes.

Nobody ’cept me,” old Gibbs told Ann when she asked: him who else knew that Terrence spring was a fake. “Just me.” “But... Gibbs?” His gaze was steady. “I reckon she done it for you, Miss Ann. For you and Lydia. It were jut the year you was a-hanker! after some big school and your mother wasn’t a-goin’ to let you go and Miss Gussie sa; rs she’s got to do somethin’. So she did. She thought up the spring.” He nod- ded his approval, Ann was staggered. She had known her grandmother’s for- tunes changed with the discovery} of the mineral ae ane not that the mineral spring had been “dis- covered” by the simple expedient of inventing it. Now, more than es she must get Terrence House herself close it to the wealthy, idle guests who paid to bathe in and drink from a spring that didn’t exist. But until then she’d keep the spring going. She sider let Grand Gussie down, She wouldn’t let the town down either. For no matter what her grandmother had done she had done it grandly and Ann would preserve the legend. She handed Gibbs a $10 bill. “When that’s used up come back, Gibbs. I—I think I can give you a little more.” A little more, maybe. But how quickly the cost of minerals would deplete her small savings. When Gibbs was gone she turned to Matilda. . “\7OU need to be cleaned up, young lady,” she said to the bird but she was too preoccupied why did she do it, give the cage a thorough wash- ing.

Ann was sure of that for no one would know to look for the hidden spring that let the cage literally fall apart for the kind of weekly cleanings: her grandmother gave it. But Ann knew. She had watched it done on several occasions. And she would do it herself when she had time to figure it out. Now she was too distressed by the events of the last twenty-four hours to think of the cage. She was not Grand Gussie’s granddaughter by adoption. Neither was. she heiress by will ’}unless a will could be found. It looked as though Jerry Lane would inherit the big house by default. Inherit the fake well, too. That was what troubled her. He'd sell the house to Mr. Baxton’s clients, they’d discover the fraud and as likely as not would sue him. Then the whole secret would be out and Grand Gussie would be disgraced. } ; Ann couldn’t let that happen. But she was letting it happen.

Yet by morning she knew it was the only way open to her. She would appeal to him on a sentimental basis to let her buy Terrence House herself. If he was sympathetic she might be able to make some long time terms that ps a clerk’s salary could eventually meet. Surely he’d be reasonable in selling her a house that by all. rights should be hers in the first place, GHE was grateful her trunk had i come from the station.
