"All right. I'm hot afraid. Please hurry." Parrish tried to hide his alarm. "You keep this door bolted and don't fret. It's probably not as bad as it sounds." ' Meanwhile, In the jungles, Allen Was perfectly safe. A jaguar had attacked Shorty, and his cries brought Allen to the rescue. But. it was too late. The man confessed fthat he had been sent into the Jungles by Taggart to kill the lad. '! Alone in her hut, Joan prepared ito go to bed, and as she disrobed, she felt a presence and looking up beheld Frenchy in the room*. "Get out," she ordered, picking up her revolver, but the gun failed to go of: I efore trying to shoot one oT thi , Mamemoiselle, it is^satw&yaad able to release the lock."

"Seems like a lot of trouble for me. Frejnchy, and an out for you." said Taggart. "I could let you have it right now." 'Precisely," said Frenchy. "I'll admit I'm not anxious to be shot! down. I like a sporting chance." "You have a lot of nerve," said Taggart. "I'll take you up on that." "Fine! Tomorrow morning?" Frenchy inquired. "The sooner the better," said Tat?- gart. And so the next morning they started out into the Jungle, hut _;?r °* them could play fair. Taggart had ^ gun hidden in his boot, and Frenchy, a knite in his camera. As they stumbled on through the Jungle, sometimes in the ^untight, sometimes in the rain, they passed terrible boa constrictors and once or twice, barely escaped being choked by a jaguar. Then Taggart tripped and fell in a stream. Frenchy. tore open his camera and took out his knife, but not quick enough, foi Taggart was quick on the draw • and shot him in the heart exclaim- - ing contemptuously, "Dirty doublecrosser!" When Parrish returned he said. "It was just a trick to get me out of the way. Good thing I met you on the trail. 1 might be walking; yet." ' "If the, jaguars, didn't get you," "XNen continued. * Thank heaven nothing happened to Joan," said Parrish. "LTJOka like Ttigg-art a-nd-Trenchy got their wires, crossed," said Allen, i "Arid. Whichever one comes out of that1 jangle is $oing to get it from' me." ' (TO BE CONTINUED): No sooner had Mr. H." G. Wells placed Ills foot oq AnierLcan psoil when he prophesied that the next world war would occur in 1 9 4 0 . He e v e n went so far as tio state that he was willing to risk his reputatioft as - a> prophet upon the correctness of that statement. He is quoted as having said that it will be "rar to end war," Whatever wp may think of the prophecy itjself^ it is quite true that Mr. Wells unwittingly spoke the trjitlj, that It will be a war to-, fend war. We are •tvondering, however, just what Mr. Wells had in, mind when he rn^de thjit statement. Was he thinking of a new obligation of brotherhood that would be universally accepted?. Did he have in mind the bfrth of a civilization in which the 'survival of the fittest'would no longer be a factor? Was he thinking of a golden age of universal peace when, "Swords should be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruninghooks, when • nations shall no more lift sword against nations?" We do not think Mr. Wells had any such high moral ideal in mind. "War to end war" was shouted from the house tops in the last International struggle, and many a young man voluntarily went -4flta,..the conflict fully persuaded that lie was making the supreme sacrifice that would .end all war and make the world safe I for democracy. War will never end war so long as war is at all possible, that Is, so long as there are men willing to fight anij plenty of ammunition with- whfch to fight. War will end war only when war is no longer possible. When civilization refuses to furnish either men or guns, war will be a thing of the past. If this is what Mr. Wells meant he was right. The peace of the world will be realized not through'destrmrtive but constructive methods. Public o^nlon,* national conscience and reverence for personality willJtop war without any bloodshed. * Another war will doubtless end further wars for the reason that chemical; and aerial warfare already threatens the permanency of civilization. The way to prevent a war in 1940 is to b« more concerned about the manufacture of poison gases and other preparations being carried on' in almost every nation. With tlie constant increase in new death-dealing inventions which the airplane can and does carry, civilization in the war area Is to be wiped out C by. Western Newspaper Unloa, -- Our Washington Letter --By- National Editorial Association More light is wanted on our "horse trading"1 stunts with other nations. Secret diplomacy in matters relating to international trade is creating a wave of resentment among American industrialists. The ' "star chamber" methotls adopted by the special group handling reciprocal tariffs are- condemned becausse American producers fear tha(t much of their business will be traded off to foreign competitors. Revision of the present rules providing for hearings behind closed doors will be sojight. by interested domestic groups. The secrecy extends to such absurd -limits.as keeping the identity of the three rn&jor committees a mystery. The theory back of this policy is easily apparent. The traders for this country want to keep away from political pressure, which is a laudable but impossible precaution. The tariff is a political issue at all' times. No spectators or witnesses are permitted behind the barred doors at the hearings until the tariff bargainers are convinced that the applicant will be vitally affected by the negotiations. The first hearing concerned a reciprocal# tariff of Cuba; but this meeting was regarded as a by-play. It is understood that the deal with Cuba was already in the "bag when the Senate ratified a special treaty last spring. C. T. Murchison, director of the Bureau,of-Foreign and Domestic Commerce, recently stated that the "New tariff making will be scientific and free from political consideration," which may account for the closed door policy. The first sitep m the swapping of commodities between nations is called "exploratory conversations" through diplomatic .channels. It is nothing more than acsertainihg what kind of a game the other fellow is willing to play to encourage international barter of goods. The sabre rattling in Europe has stirred the diplomats and the military set out of the usual summer lethargy. Austria, considered the powder-box of European wars, is providing the State Department with plenty of work these days. The army and navy has shown considerable life during the last week because we are no longer remote from European strife. If a war develops it will undaubtedly give new spice to the forthcoming elections. It will be recalled that the last campaign of Woodrow \Vilson featured war .and peace in the slogan "He kept us out of war," and in the spring following the elections America was engaged in the World War. The European situation will undoubtedly stimulate interest in current studies as to the ef- Conflicting governmental policies relating to bankruptcies are creating considerable confusion throughout the country. Administrative divisions are endeavoring to tighten the loosely con- I structed (bankruptcy laws and -'are urging the states to "If&YMWilze their ! rulings accordingly.. The Frazier- Lemke bill, which became a law a few weeks ago, giving farriers a long moratorium ojn their debts, threw a monkey-wrench into the government's machinery--a real inconsistency showing that the right hand was not concerned with what the left was doing in this respect. The study of cost of bankruptcies among consumers conducted by the Department of Commerce revealed that credit iis too easy. This Federal agency suggested several preventives for bankruptcies including the partial elimination of extravagance by the danial of a discharged bankruptcy until at least 50 pel* cent of iffe bankrupt's debts have been paid and to control credit extension. Bankruptcy of wage earners (consumers) increased 414 per ,cent from 1920 to 1930 while at the same time the population increased only 16 per cent. Government agencies believe that a majority of bankruptcies are preventable. Conscious of their shortcomings in playing up relief for the farmers to the neglect of business, the Administration has directed the Department of Commerce to utilize its best efforts in selling American industry -oon recovery plans. To thi!* end the big guns in the Department are making speeches in industrial centers explaining the New Deal's economic philos-. cphy and its implications for industry. Reaction to these speeches indicates that industrial leaders are not entirely receptive to these explanations because they believe that industry has been penalized in many ways to pay the cost of agriQultural recovery. The Department of Commerce, which blossortied as the foremost governmental agency under Herbert Hoover, was completely submerged during the early days of the Roosevelt Administration. Under "pressure of complaints that industry has been treated unfairly the Department is showing signs of life. The Secretary of Com- Inerce has carefully removed all the key-men that the Hoover Administration placed on the payrolls. femng. ,, x" ?d home from Monday.
