CHAPTER XVH—(CONTINUED)
His eyes were shining, and the
prince, looking at him, felt him
self shaken by a strange emotion.
But across Pachmann’s lips flitted
an ironical smile, as of one who
disdained heroics.
“For the decision as to La Lib
erate, ” he said, “I assume full re
sponsibility. It was I who sug
gested it; it was I who showed
that no other proof coilld be con
clusive ; it was I who arranged for
it. I have no regrets. You have
yeur part of the bargain accom
plished, Mr. Vard,” he added.
“His highness and myself are here
to accomplish ours. We are ready
to discuss the details of the
treaty. ’ ’
“I think that first, perhaps, I
should look at your credentials,”
Vard suggested.
“That is just,” and Pachmann,
getting out his pocketbook, took
from it the envelope sealed with
the black seal, and handed it to
Vard.
Vard took it, glanced at the
seal, and hesitated, just as the cap
tain of the Ottilie had done.
“I am to open itt” he asked.
Pachmann nodded.
“It contains my credentials,”
he said.
A careful inspection of the seal
would have disclosed the fact that
the envelope had already been
opened once—perhaps more than
once—but Vard made no such in
spection Instead, he broke the
seal with nervous fingers, and
drew out the stiff sheet blazing
with the royal insignia. This is
the English of what he read:
Herewith do I grant to the bearer of
this paper, Admiral H. F&chmann, pow
er extraordinary as my representative,
to enter into agreements, to make
treaties, and to sign the same; and I
do further declare that I shall consider
myself bound by such agreements and
signatures as though I myself had
made them; and, finally, I oemmand all
members of my family, all officers of
my army and navy, all members of my
diplomatic corps, and all good Ger
mans generally, to yield to him the
same obedience they would yield to me;
all this for the good of my empire,
(Signed) William, R. L
Wilhelmshohe, September 21, 1911.
Vard re-read this extraordinary
paper, then replaced it in its en
velope and silently returned it to
its owner. Again that ironical
smile flashed across Pachmann’s
lips, as he restored it to his pock
etbook
“You find it ample, do you
not!” he asked.
Vard nodded, and glanced curi
ously at the prine, wondering if
that young man was aware of the
exact wording of this remarkable
document, especially of the clause,
“all members of my family.”
“And now,” proceeded Pach
mann, adjusting himself to an
easier posture, “we shall be glad
to hear the further details of your
proposal.”
Vard paused *or a moment to
collect his thoughts.
“There is one thing I would un
derstand first,” he said. “Prom
that paper, I infer that the em
peror alone is concerned in this—
that his cabinet is not aware of
it.”
“No member of the cabinet ex
cept one—whom I will not riame, ’ ’
assented Pachmann. “I will not
conceal from you that the emperor
is desirous of reaping for himself
the full glory of this achievement.
He realizes that the man who
brings about world peace" will be
the most famous man in history.
Jle has his ambitions, as you
doubtless know.”
“Yes, 1 have heard so,” said
Vard, with an ironic smile. “Well,
let him have the glory—I do not
object; besides, he will deserve it.
And now for my proposal. It is
this: the nations of the world, with
Germany and Russia as the first
signatories, shall enter into a
treaty providing for the immedi
ate disbanding of their armies, dis
mantling of their forts, and disin
tegrating of their fleets. Only
such troops shall be retained as
are needed to provide garrisons
for such outposts as may be nec
essary to protect the Christian
world from the incursion of bar
barous or nomadic tribes, and only
such warships as are needed to as
sist in this work. The exact num
ber each nation shall maintain will
be decided by a general court of
adjudication, and all such troops
and warships shall be in common;
and all expenditures for what are
usually known as military pur
poses shall be in common, appor
tioned by the same court of ad
19
judication among the nations
which ate party to the agreement.
Under no circumstances may any
nation maintain any force private
ly or for its own use.”
“Iam interested to know, ’ ’ put
in Pachmann, smoothly, “in what
manner you propose to secure the
consent of the various nations to
this scheme. The smaller ones will
doubtless be glad to fall into line;
but you surely do not expect Eng
land and France, for example, to
agree merely because we ask it!”
“To those who do not consent,”
Vard answered calmly, “we will
give a demonstration of the neces
sity for doing so.”
“Some such demonstration as
that of Monday?”
“Yes, — greater ones, if need
be.”
Pachman considered this
thoughtfully.
( “It might do,” he said, at last.
“A few such demonstrations
would no doubt be convincing. Yet
there might he one or two which
would be obdurate.”
‘ ‘ I think, in the end, we can con
vince them.”
“You will go to any lengths to
do so?”
“To any necessary lengths.”
Pachmann nodded.
“I was desirous of getting a
clear expression from you upon
that point,” he said. “Pray con
tinue.”
x cio not oeueve tnera wxu do
many such nations,” Yard went
on. “You have spoken of France
and England. I believe France
will consent, for she is a nation of
idealists. I should have chosen
her to lead the movement, but for
the fact that her army and navy
are inferior to yours, and so she
might seem to be acting from fear
or from 3elf interest. Should you
refuse—should we be unable to
agree—it will be to France I shall
go next. As for England, she also
fears you—she will be glad to es
cape from the burden of her arma
ments and from the shadow of
your great power. In fact all na
tions in whose governments the
people have a voice will be eager
for disarmament. And the people
everywhere must be allowed to
speak. If those in power seek to
crush them, to restrain them, we
must assist them to throw off the
yoke of tyranny and decide for
themselves.”
“Ah,” said Pachmann, very
quietly. ‘ ‘ Socialism—I see! ”
“The rule of the people,” said
Yard, calmly. “The freedom of the
people—call it what you will. That
is what I labor for. The people of
each nation must be free to choose
by Whom and in what manner they
will be governed. That evolution
will, of course, take many years;
but it must not be cramped or re
tarded. At the very outset, it will
make two considerable changes in
the map of Europe. Poland will be
reconstituted and Alsace-Lorraine
restored to France.
Pachmann started violently, and
a wave of angry red swept over
his face.
“Impossible!” he cried. “Im
possible ! To that we can never
consent! ’ ’
Vard smiled at his emotion.
“Why not!” he asked, ironic
ally.
“Because,” shouted Pachmann,
“Elsass and Lorraine are German
—they were stolen from Germany
by France two centuries ago.”
“They were not German—they
were independent states; and they
are not German now. They are
French. However, I am quite will
ing to leave the final decision to
the people of those provinces. You
cannot object to that!”
Pachmann lifteVi his cigar from
one corner of his mouth to the
ether. His face was livid.
“Beware that you do not at
tempt too much, my dear sir,” he
said, and there was in his voice a
covert threat not to be disguised.
“I warn you. But, in this con
nection, some other questions oc
cur to me. What of Ireland t”
“The Irish shall decide.”
“South Africa?”
“Most of it belongs to the
Boers.”
“That, at least, is a grain of
comfort. But India, Egypt t”
“I cannot answer that. India
and Egypt must be made the sub
jects of careful study and the gov
ernment given them which wifi be
best for their peoples, and which
will not drain them of their
i L
wealth, as England does. There
will be many such problems, and
the best minds of the world must
study them. My answers to your
questions are but suggestions. All
such problems must be settled by
an international court, which shall
proceed upon the theory that all
peoples capable of self government
shall have absolute freedom, and
all other peoples shall be made
capable of governing themselves
as rapidly as possible. Each peo
ples shall be free to decide for it
self as to it form of government,
but shall be required to pledge
itself to the principle of universal
peace. That pledge will be neces
sary only at first—after 50 years
of peace, no nation will ever think
of war! I know that, for a genera
tion or two, there will be difficul
ties. We have grown suspicious
of each other; we have become
hardened by hatred and injustice.
But time will change all that. Let
us lay down our arms, disband our
armies, restore what we have stol
en, and, instead of hatred, we shall
find love in our hearts. Instead of
oppression, we shall have justice,
tempered with mercy. Each man
will have his work to do, and none
who works will go hungry; and we
will end by becoming citizens, not
of Germany, France, or of any
other country, but of the world! I
tell you, ®ir, that our great-grand
children, looking back at us from
a world at peace and united in a
brotherhood, will wonder at us—
we shall seem to them blind sav
ages, murderers, lunatics!”
It was evident enough that the
prince was moved. He was young,
he had always been something of
a dreamer. Rigid training at his
father’s hands had gone far to dis
pel the dreams, but they were not
quite rooted out. Now, at the
words of this supreme idealist, this
inspired dreamer, they revived
again. He sat regarding the
speaker with misty eyes, his
mouth a little open, his hands
gripped in front of him. Pach
mann, glancing at him, passed his
hands before his lips to wipe away
a sneer.
“All most interesting,” com
mented the admiral, in his ironical
voice. “I think that we under
stand your proposal fully. There
is only one point upon which you
have not made yourself quite clear.
Should we be unable to agree,:
what will be your next step!”
“I thought I had already told
yon,” answered Vard, impatient
ly. “Should we disagree, I shall
offer France the same opportun
ity which I now offer Germany.”
“Ton will find France skep
tical.”
‘ ‘ Then T shall offer her the same
proof I offered you.' That will be
best, will it not!” and Vard
looked straight into Pachmann’s
eyes.
Pachmann sprang from his chair
his mouth working, his eyes suf
fused.
“You will destroy one of our
ships!” he demanded his voice
hoarse.
“A ship or a fort—it shall be
for France to choose.”
Pachmann’s fingers were
twitching visibly to be at the oth
er’s throat. But by a mighty ef
fort he controlled himself, flung
himself again into his chair and
poured himself out a glass of
brandy from the bottle at his el
bow.
“Will you drink!”’ he asked
over his shoulder.
“No, thank you,” answered
Vard.
The prince sat without moving,
still staring at the inventor. Meet
ing his eyes, Vard smiled slightly.
Pachmann set down his glass,
and turned back to them.
‘ ‘ I must ask you to pardon me, ’ ’
he said. ' ‘ I lost my self control—
a thing I do not often do—but
your suggestions seemed to me in
supportable. However, I can per
ceive that there ia another side
to them. I think we understand
your proposal now, most thor
oughly. There are certain de
tails which the prince and I must
discuss together, before we can
submit an answer. In a matter of
such moment, we must proceed
with the greatest care. This is
Thursday. I think we can be
ready by Saturday evening.”
“Very well,” agreed Vard, ris
ing. “The same hour, ill this
loom!”
“If that pleases you.”
“It does.”
He bowed coldly to Pachmann;
then, with a sudden gesture, held
out his hand to the prince. But
Pachmann interposed before the
prince could take it.
“That I cannot permit,” he said
grimly, and he opened the door.
A barefooted sailor, clad in
white duck, standing on the deck
outside, saluted. Pachmann stood
for a moment staring after Vard’s
retreating figure; then he turned
back into the room. The Prince
was helping himself to a drink,
and Paehmann joined him,
“Yes,” he said, “this is what
we need, after all that raving.”
“Would you call it that?”
asked the prince.
“Raving? Yes, it was precisely
that! The man is mad, my prince;
absolutely mad. No one but a mad
man would speak as he does—of
citizens of the world, the brother
hood of man, and all that folly!”
The prince drained his glass.
“I fear you are right,” he said,
as he set it down. “Yes, I fear you
are right, and that it is only,
folly!”
“There is one thing you must
not forget,” added Pachman, his
hand on the door; “since he is
mad, it is as a madman he must be
treated! ’ ’ and he led the way out
upon the deck.
Somewhere in the dim hours of
the night, Dan Webster was awak
ened by a glare of light in his eyes.
He opened them to find that the
electric lamp beside the was stand
was burning. Peering over the
edge of his berth, he beheld a curi
ous sight. Chevrial was sitting on
his berth, half undressed, exam
ing tenderly one of his toes, and
swearing softly to himself. He
glanced up, met Dan’s astonished
eyes, and laughed.
“Man is a ridiculous animal,”
he said. “The feet with which he
has been provided are absurd
no doubt because they were really
intended to be hands. They are
too sensitive, too undefended.
Blundering around here in the
darkness, I have injured one of my
toes, and it hurst devilishly. Par
don for awaking you, my friend.
Good night!”
He turned off the light, and Dan
lay back upon his pillow, with
strange thoughts whirling in his
head.
CHAPTER XVHL
THE SUBSTITUTE SENTRY.
Admiral Pachmann turned into
his berth, that night, extremely
well satisfied with himself, for he
was convinced that the cards were
in his hands and the game as good
as won. And what a game! For
his king, world empire; for him
self—but the admiral did not per
mit himself to name the reward.
He knew well that he would not be
forgotten when the moment came
for the distribution of honors.
Was not the whole plan his? Had
he not worked it out to its minut
est detail? Had he not carried it
through? And how adroitly, how
triumphantly! Even the emperor
would have to acknowledge that!
Let us do the admiral justice;
he loved his country, he was ready
at any moment to lay down his life
for her, he would have labored
just as earnestly without hope of
other reward than the sight of her
aggrandisement; but, just the
same, when the honors came, he
was not one to refuse them! World
empire would mean governorships,
suzerainties * * *
He was lying in his berth next
morning, half dozing, smiling to
himself as all this passed before
his mind in august and glittering
procession, when there came a tap
at the door. He got up, opened it,
and a sealed note was handed in.
A glance at the other berth
showed that the prince had al
ready risen. Pachman tore open
the note and read its contents with
some astonishment. It was from
the captain, and asked for an im
mediate conference on a matter of
great importance.
Pachmann dressed hastily, and,
as he did so, considered whether
he should hunt up the prince and
summon him, also, to this confer
ence. He decided against it. He
foresaw that in this affair there
would be many things which it
would be unwise for the prince to
know—he had sat staring like an
idiot, last night, while the mad
Pole raved about love and mercy
and universal brotherhood; he was
too young, too easily impressed,
too soft of heart. He had agreed
that victory must be won at any
price, but Pachmann very well
knew that he had no idea of how
terrible that price was almost cer
tain to be. No; the prince must
be kept as much as possible on the
borders of this affair! So, having
finished dressing, the admiral
went forward alone to the cap
tain’s cabin.
He found the captain sitting at
his desk, and his face was so
grave that it gave Pachmann a
little start.
He rose and greeted the admiral,
and then glanced over the latter’s
shoulder, as though expecting to
see some one else.
“You did not bring the prince?”
he asked.
“Do you think it necessary?”
retorted Pachmann, tartly.
Hausmann hesitated.
“I am not, of course, aware of
your relative position in this af
fair,” he said finally.

"Taking ’Em Off.”
Prom the Chicago Port.
Humans are not tne only ones of Na
ture’s children who “take 'em off" In
spring and “put ’em on” in winter. When
the grays come into the September land- w
scape and the northeast winds make ths 1
leaves crackle like the epidermis of the 3
delectable roast pig of the essay, some of A
the birds begin to think on the propriety
of dressing according to season, and so
they take ’em off and put others of ’em
on.
In a week or two who but the knowing
ones will recognize our Beau Brummel
gold finch in his solemn winter attire?
Time and again the unseeing say "The
goldfinches have gone,’’ when, In truth,
they have not gone, but only in a little
more than a twinkling have taken ’em off
to put 'em on. The gold of this nugget .
of a finch goes Into nature’s old clothes Mk
garret in the fall to be replaced by a V
robe that has not so much as a silver
sheen to It. The goldfinch changes Into
a dun finch In the fall and braves tbe m
yIgors of winter “In waistcoat gray.”
The scarlet tanager takes off his flam
ing garb as soon as the winds blow cold.
Why no one knows, because, unlike the
goldfinch, the tanager does not stay in
the regions of the bare forests and the
banked snows. He has no need to change
his plumage to be in keeping with his sur
roundings, for every fall he goes to the
land of eternal summer, where his scar
let dress Is as appropriate as It'Is amid
the burnings of a July In the northland.
Other birds take ’em off and put ’em on
In fall and spring. In some cases it is
easy to guess why the change is made.
It U probable that protective coloration
may have something to do with It, but
In many cases there Is no reason why
the color scheme of summer should net
serve as the color scheme of winter.
In a French Submarine.
Gertrude Lynch, of the Vigilante*.
Paris—In a retired part of the busy har
bor of Calais, I visited a French subma
rine which was waiting there for orders.
Shut into that iron box—with only the
open disc of the well and a round of blut
above to show our connection with th«
world—I turned to the young lieutenant
who was showing me about, and asked
the question that spring Into my mind.
"What is the first thing you do when a
submarine is struck?” I wanted to know
Very quietly be answered me.
"There is nothing to do—if it Is struck
in a vital spot. It is all over.”
The work of the French submarines is,
generally speaking. defensive rather than
offensive. Their work Is an important
part of this great patrol and police work
of the channel, the vigilance which
make® possible passage for the troops and
Bupplies of the alllee. They have the ad
| vantage of being near a friendly coast
j where they can get help If It is needed.
The French submarines are. named
| after the revolutionary months, Pluvios,
Germinal, Florial, etc. They differ from
our submarines In some details, I under
stand. To investigate, I clambered down
the companionway and reached a slippery
deck where there were two tanks, reads
to be filled with water when the boat
plunges. While it Is possible for the
boat to sink with a flat deck it usually
goes down at a slight angle,—five degrees. d
This one carried two torpedoes at each f
Bide, two behind, one in front. Fore I J
found a portfolio kitchen which looked '
like a big flat Iron, with elongated edges
rising to a height of two and a half or >
three feet. These fold over when the 1
kitchen is not In use, and if the subma- '
rlne plunges while food Is being prepared
the water puts the fires out automatically
The “Capitalistic” Press.
From the New York World. 1
Since In his frequent references to the -J
subject Senator La Follette never takes ;
the trouble to explain precisely what he *'
means by the "capitalistic press." we are
inclined to supply his necessary definition.
The capitalistic press embraces all those
abandoned newspapers that adhere to the
government and people of the United
States and denounce conepirators and cop
perheads, whether they are German spies
or German senatons.
There is another press, not capitalistic,
which engages in no such reprehensible
practices. Some of its conductors are un
der Indictment for treason, some of them
are known to have German monev in their
pockets, and practically all of them are
in agreement with the Wisconsin senator
that this Is a capitalistic war on our part,
that the army and navy are capitalistic
and that we are to fight solely in the In
terest of capita], with no excuse better
than a technicality.
Accepting Senator La Follette’s plain
meaning, therefore, we are to understand
that aside from the German-Amertcan al
liance the Friends of Irish Freedom, the
People’s Peace council and their various
journalistic and political agents, every
body in America is a bloodthirsty capital
ist Inspired with a hellish purpose to over
throw that grand old democrat and friendi
of the people, Wilhelm Hohenzollern I>oe»
the senator himself really believe it?
Cheap Fish in Canada.
United States Consular Report.
The Canadia ngovernment’s venture to
supply the public with fish at a reason
able price has proved a success. A re
frigerator service from Nova Scotia to
Ontario was provided, and the govern
ment's scheme was advertised. In on*
week there were three cars carrying ap
proximately 60,000 pounds of fish, aa
against normal shipments of 5.000 pounds.
The varieties sold under the government
plan, which provides that the buyer shall
take the whole fish, are haddock ami
market cod. These were the only, on*
available in quantities to justify the ex
periment. Haddock la well known; mar
ket cod la practically a newcomer.
At the fish stores, in what Is normally a
dull month, there were many buyers call
ing for some of the "government fish.” It
la planned now to broaden the distribution
•f the cheap flah to the whole of Ontario.
Large handlers will be able-to receive fish
direct, while small dealers may order
through large city houses at prices set by
the Canadian government.
