Mathias Erzberger's Prestige Wanes as Huns Agree to Sign Berlin, June 25 (By the Associated Press). Long accounts written for the Berlin papers by correspondents at Weimar, telling of events preced ing the decision of the German gov ernment to sign the treaty of peace, show that there was a threat by generals and officers of the volun teer troops to quit if the treaty was signed without reservations. Gus tav Noske, minister of defense, prof fered his resignation, out later suc ceeded in appeasing the officers. He then withdrew his resignation under pressure from his party and .... . reeling among miuwry leaaers is still running high, notwithstanding the fact that they are admonishing the troops to continue in the serv- ice. Major General Baron von Luet twitz, in a special call, reiterates his opposition to the peace terms, while .Major von Gilsa, Herr Noske's ad jutant, has announced that Prus sian War Minister Reinhart "will endeavor to defend the menaced honor of the army and its leaders by the adoption of special meas ures." He will confer with Herr Noske today.

Early today the fire was reported undr The Woman , in Black BY EDMUND CLERIHEW BENTLEY Copyright. 1913. by th Century Company CHAPTER V. A Rather Startling Question Trent finished his breakfast with a thoughful brow. He filled a pipe sluwly, and seated himself on the rail of the veranda. "Cupples," he said quietfy, "is there anything about this business that you know and would rather not tell nie?" Mr. Cupples gave a slight start, ana turned an astonishing, gaze on the questioner. W hat Ho you mean?" he said. "I mean about the Mandersons. Look here! shall I tell you a thing that strikes me about this affair at the very beginning? Here's a man suddenly and violently killed; and nobody's heart seems to be broken about it, to say the least. The manager of the hotel spoke to me about him as cooly as if he'd never set eyes on him, though I under stood they've been neighbors every summer for some years. Then you talk about the thing in the coldest of blood. And Mrs. Manderson well, you won't mind my saying that I have heard of women being more cut up about their husbands being murdered than she seems to be. Is there something in this, Cupples, or is it my fancy? Was there some thing queer about Manderson? I traveled on the same boat with him once, but never spoke to him. I only know his public character, which was repulsive enough. You see, this may have a bearing on the case; that's the only reason why I ask." Mr. Cupples took time for thought. He fingered his spare beard and looked out over the sea. At last he turned to Trent. "I see no reason," he said, "why I shouldn't tell you as between ourselves, my dear fellow. I need not sav that this must not be referred to, however distantly. The truth is that nobody really liked Manderson; and I think those who were nearest to him liked him least." "Why?" the other interjected. "Most people found a difficulty in explaining why. In trying to ac count to myself for my own sensa tions, I could only put it that one felt in the man a complete absence of the sympathetic faculty. There was nothing outwardly repellent about him. He was not ill-mannered, or vicious, or dull indeed, he could be remarkably interesting. But I received the impression that there could be no human creature whom he would not sacrifice in the pursuit of his schemes, in his task of imposing himself and his will upon the world. Perhaps that was fanciful, but I think not altogether so. However, the point is that Mabel, I am sorry to say, was very unhappy. I am nearly twice your age, my dear boy, though you al ways so kindly try to make me feel as if we were contemporaries I am getting to be an old man, and a great many people have been good enough to confide their matrimon ial troubles to me; but I never knew another case like my niece's and her husband's. I have known her since she was a baby, Trent, and I know you understand, I think, that I do not employ that word lightly I know that she is as amiable and honorable a woman, to say nothing of her other good gifts, as any man could wish. But Man derson, for some time past, had made her miserable." "What did he do?" asked Trent, as Mr. Cupples paused. "When I put that question to Mabel, her words were that he seemed to nurse a perpetual griev ance. He maintained a distance be tween them, and he would say noth ing. I don't Ttnow how it began or what was behind it; and all she would tell me on that point was that he had no cause in the world for his attitude. I think she knew what was in his mind, whatever it was; but She is full of pride. This seems to have gone on for months. At last, a week ago, she wrote to me. I am the only near relative she has. Her mother died when she was a child; and after John Peter died, I was something, like a father to her until she married that was five years ago. She asked me to come and help her, and I came at once. That is why I am here now." Mr. Cupples paused and drank tea. Trent smoked and stared out at the hot June landscape. "I would not go to White Gables," Mr. Cupples resumed. "You know my views, I think, upon the eco nomic constitution of society, and the proper relationship of the capi talist to the employe, and you know, no doubt, what use that person made of his vast economic power upon several very notorious occasions. I refer especially to the trouble in the Pennsylvania coal fields, three years ago. I regarded him, apart from all ptrsonal dislike, in the light of a criminal and a disgrace to society. I came to this hotel, and I saw mj niece here. She told me what I have more briefly told you. She said that the worry and the humil iation of it, and the strain of trying to keep up appearances before the world, were telling upon her, and she asked for my advice, I said 1 thought she should face him and demand an explanation of his way of treating her. But she would not do that. She had always taken the line of affecting not to notice the change inhis demeanor, and noth ing, I knew, would persuade her to admit to him that she was injured, once pride had led her into that course. Life is quite full, my dear Trenti" said Mr. Cupples with a sigh, "of .these obstinate silences and cultivated misunderstandings." "Did she love him?" Trent in quired abruptly. Mr. Cupples did not reply at once. "Had she any love left for him?" Trent amended. Mr. Cupples played with his teaspoon. "I am bound to say," he answered slowly, "that I think not. But you must not misunderstand the woman. Trent. No power on earth would have persuaded her to admit that to any one even to her self, perhaps so long as she con sidered herself bound to him. And I gather that, apart from this mys terious sulking of late, he had al ways been considerate and gener ous." "You were saying that she re fused to have it out with him." "She did," replied Mr. Cupples. "And I knew by experience that it was quite useless to attempt to move a Domecq where the sense of dignity was involved.

Iiife Guards Quit At Beach Ar thur Paynter, Carroll Mullen and Fllorence Critchfield, lifeguards at Municipal beach, quit their posts yesterday in protest of the appoint ment of William Westlunt to suc ceed Bart Kane as head guard. The vacancies were quickly filled by Commissioner Falconer. Granted Restraining Order Bertha Sacks was granted a restrain ing order by Judge Day in district court to keep her husband, George watched my opportunity and met Manderson as he passed by this ho tel. I asked him to favor me with a few minutes' conversation, and he stepped inside the gate down there. We had held no communication of any kind since my niece's marriage, but he remembered me, of course. I put the matter to him at once and quite definitely. I told him what Mabel had confided to me. I said that I would neither approve nor condemn her action in bringing me into the business, but that she was suffering, and I considered it my right to ask how he could justify himself in placing her in such a position." . "And how did he take that?" said Trent, smiling secretly at the land scape. The picture of this mildest of men calling the formidable Man derson to account pleased him. "Not very well," Mr. Cupples re plied sadly. "In fact, far from well. I can tell you almost exactly what he said it wasn't much. (Continued Tomorrow.) Backs, ' from disposing of their home.
