Our Guests Today
ROSBMJRG la honored today lijr
tho presence of tlio members
of Hie Oregon Department Reserve
Officers' association of the United
Stales, In annutil convention. All
sections of Oregon are represented
at the meeting and an impressive
array of military titles graces the
hotel registers.
Roseburg is particularly Honored
today by the presence of three gen
eral officers, all of whom gave
genuine assistance to us in our ef
fort to secure the BoldiorB homo.
Those officers aro General Charles
H. Martin, congresBinan-oloct from
the ; Portland district; General
Georgo A. White, commander -of
national guard units for five north
western states, and General Thom
as F. Hllea, head of tho Infantry
units! of tho, Oregon National
Guard.
Gcnoral Martin gave assistance
to Hoseburg of lnestlmublo vulue
by writing porsonul letters in our
behalf to Influential people In
Washington, D. C. He dosdVves our
sincere thanks.
General White and General Itilea
have-boon vory helpful and on the
occasion of tho visit of General
Wood, site inspecting officer, to
Rosoimrg, both of theao officers
made the trip down hole to assls:
In our reception for General Wood.
Any thuught or notion thul the
, Reserve officers organization Is a
warlike or war-wautlng group Is
wrong. The motto of the organiza
tion Is: ' "Patriotic Preparedness
Proservcs Peace." The reserve of
ficers are patriotic men who are
keeping themselves fit and ready
to take command according to
' their rank in the event of a na
tional emergency. No rational hu
man being wnuts a war and least
of all do these officers Want to see
another war. Thoy huvo noud rea-
' son for haling war lor thoy know
all about It from experience.
They havo been designated as In
tellectuals but they Jungle and bite
and scrutch Just like a couple or
negro washerwomen. We refer to
tho face-slapping enjoyed day bo
fore yestorday by Sinclair Lewis
and Theodore Ilrolser. Somehow
the pages of Sinclair Lewis' novels
loso their brllllunco and the chap
ters of Dreiser's book on Itiissla
loso authority as wo rend tho news
of tho sput. Speaking of Dreiser's
book, tho battle took place because
Mr. Lewis said that Mr. Dreiser
had stolen somo of the material In
a book written by Mrs. Lewis. The
llusBluns should get a good chuckle
out of thul.

When Jobub left Jericho he fol

who cume to Jesus and said:
"Master I will follow Thee where

answered: "Koxes have holes and
the birds of the air have nests, but
the Hon of Man hath nowhere to
lay His head." lie who left the

earthly home. There van one
home, however, where wo are led
to believe he found tlu.t fellow

pathy for which the human heail
craves. I refer to the home at
Dethany, where dwelt Martha and
Mary and Lazarus. Dear reader,
are you lonely, do you feel at tlmeu
friendless; aro you misunderstood?
Johus understands all about U, for
ho has traveled that road. But
even though Jesus loved tho home

ment came to them, for Lazarus
was taken sick and died. Iteud the
story an you find it in Johu 11.

I would have you notice one thing

AMERICAN LEGION
Roseburg, Oregon 1919 to Oct. 1, 1930
CHAPTER 36
By way of showing that tho post luis been widely recognized for Us
community service work, we note from the minutes of tho regular meet
ing of January 17, 1923, that Joseph A. lunii reported that the executive
committee had recently met with "Unipquu Illghwny to the Sea. Asso
ciation;" und further that this commission was planning a barnstorming
campaign Into all towns of Douglas County, teaching the vulue of this
road and had requested the post to furnish the enterlalumcnt on those,
trips.
At this meet lug the post received (ho thanks of the lloy Scout
Council meeting for a donation of $2(10 which lmd been contributed for
the Hcout Camp. Members of Unipquu 1'oJt Drum Corps and wives were
Invited as guests of the Umpqua Chiefs at a banquet on January 19, 192S.
All cx-servlco men and women of fliu World War were invited to at
tend an open meeting on January H,'VJ2X, when all were apprized of
the benefits to which they woro entitled as a result of state and na
tional legislation. This meeting was hd In the Knights of Pythias Hall
in Honuburg, anil wus attended by Beyqi'al hundred persons. Department
Commander Ooorgo Love was presenli with a lurge delgution ot other
Department and District officers. - k
On Kebruary 3, 192S, the executive' committee of the post authorized
the adjutant to borrow fivo hundred dollars or more if necessary with
which to purchase options on land for an aviation field. "This actiot.
shows that tho American Legion hero left nothing undone In its fight
for u modern airport. At the regular post meeting held on February 7,
1928, the airport committee made its complete report, iu which it was
slated that approximately 1 10 acres of land had been placed under
option, and that tills land had been endorsed by the I'. S. Army, tho
C. S. .Department of Commerce ami by many private aviators. Tho
commltteo was then authorized to present the options and all details to
tho Hoseburg City Council with a request thai a Bpeclal election bo
called at an early date to vote on a proposed bond Issue of $25,000 to
pure!, so und improve this land for an airport.
On February 21, 192S, Umpqua Post pledged that it would furnish
frea halls for tho proposed convention of the Grand Army of the Re
public Convention and that the post would do everything that cn
thuslasllc sponsorship could do to make tills convention of these von
trublo old veterans u happy event. This was a big undertaking for tho
post, because there are about bIx or seven auxiliary bodies connected
with the (!. A. it. which meant thai halls for each one had to be fur
nished will: free lights and freo janitor service for three days. Dut
members of Umpqua Post felt that the rapid thinning ranks of these
old veterans mentis that this will perhaps be the last great convention
these bodies will ever hold. The post becanio a host to our aged conw
rades, our hearts filled w ith gladness that we did so, and many of these

CHAPTER 8
The appearance at this Instant
of mademoiselle herself interrupt
ed the SpaniBh woman's outburst.
The elderly officer with the bald
head and drawn, leathery Bkin
brougnt her lo them, bowed deeply,
took three backward steps, bowing
at each ono of them, and turned
away to join a group of his fel
lows. 'We have been looking for you,
my beloved U-izele,' Canotta effus
ed sweetly. '1 really think mon
sieur was ver' lonesome, or per
haps 11 was he was jealous of the
Hcldmarachal-Llculenunt liarou
Obf rhelden8chwll.'
'The Baron is a charming dodo,'
replied .V.!vs!er,., !.n.. :.'!-.;,
'even if he does amuse you so
much, Carlotta. 1 had only to hint
at it and he has arranged that we
shall attend a most wonderful func
tion, one to which only the most
fortunate will be received by Count
von Kulm.' She turned to Farn
ham. 'And you are to come with
us, monsieur,' she exclaim it. 'The
night of Monday, at nine j are to
arrive.'
'Hut my journey, mademoiselle?'
Farnham gasped. 'I have put it
off
'it can wait again, monsieur,' she
told him. 'The affair of Monday,
it is in honor of His Highness Ab
bas Hilmi, and we shall be honor
ed by meeting, too, the. Grand
Duke Michael, who holds Iiussia
in the palm of his bund.'
Farnham debated his uncertainty
very briefly aud yielded.
'Of course,' he said in a thin, un
comfortable voice. . 'Nothing could
bo so important as that. But, 1
really shouldn't.'
'We. must be taking our leave
now,' mademoiselle decided. 'The
guests have been slipping away
for some time and It will shortly be
daylight.'
Farnham consulted his watch. It
was alter three o'clock. Some of
the uniformed legation attaches
were leaving with their ladies.
Others continued to drink and chat
in small groups. Farnlium wonder
ed at the steadiness of their legs,
the restraint of their voices after
the night's heavy drinking. Four
or five bottles of champagne must
have been the portion of more
than one. Aien handled their liquor
well in Switzerland, ho thought.
Perhaps it was the part of discre
tion, whore ready ears might be
straining for a single careless
word or phrase.
Farnham remembered a certain
dinner in Washington, months be
fore. A brilliant dinner at a grand
mansion, wnere the Bocret motif
was that the hostess put a single
phrase Into the president's ear iu
the course of the evening. A
phrase IKiit required no nnswer,
no comment. Ton thousand dol
lars in wine, flowers, and music
to plant a thought, to drop a sin
gle seed In tho hope that It would
lake root in tho executive's braiu.
And a careless word, a glass loo
much of Count Botha von Kulm's
champagne, might have dire con
sequences in the game of world
diplomacy now centered in Swit
zerland. When Senora Quarazza's motor
boat dropped him at the Qual du
Mont Blanc, Farnham said his
adleux, went at once to his apart
mulls, aud sat down with his eyes
on the first turquoise glow over
tho distant Alps. Hut his mind was
back in the chateau of Count von
Kulm, recounting Ihe night's daz
zling events. Count von Kulm now
puzzled him sorely. Presently; as
the sun crept in at the window,
Farnham rose with a shake of his
head and prepared to disrobe.
From his pocket he took the
roll of notes senora had won for
him und counted them slowly.
'TweWs thousand francs!' he
exclaimed lo himself.
Neai-ry three thousand dollars at
the current exchange rate. Ho had
not realized that his bet had ac
cumulated io such proportions.
'.Money appears to ho no object
in Geneva.' ho ruminated, view
ing the hank notes with a whimsi
cal smile.
The Royal Hand
The intervening throe days tin
III .Monday night, Farnham spent
In the rambling indolence of a
man who has neither mission nor
purpose, except to kill time. He
used up Saturday In wandering
about the environs of the city,
looking, with tlte simple curiosity
of a provincial, at the ancient land
marks, such as Die Cathedral of
Saint Pierre, with Its Gothic spires
that were older than the ship that
took Columbus to America, and
boasting stalls that were done by
the Florentine sculptors. Several
hours he spent at the Ecnle d'Hor
logorie, in the shadow of Notre
Dame, studying the museum of
timepieces that traced the modern
wntch from the earliest method
of keeping time to the latest crea
tion In Swiss watch ingenuity
a logical Interest, in view of his
mission in Switzerland. On Satur
day evening he went, not tn the
Kursaal where men of many climes
foregather under the bright lights,
but to the amusing Theater Apol
lo. From time to time Farnham
glimpsed the shadows who dogged
his footsteps. To these he gave
small attention. One of them,
whom he had observed several
limes during the day, had a seal
immediately behind him at the

Apollo, and dined near him after
the performance at the kiosk of
the English gardens. He smiled at
these precautions his every
movement being kept under ob
servation. Doubtless, he thought,
the detailed narrative of his move
ments would he studied anon by
some one qualified to decide just
what meaning his movements had
during these three days of niaik
ing time in Geneva. i
Sunday he spent on the lake
and rivers, along the quays, stroll
ing the promenades ot the lake
front, crossing and recrossing the
bridges of tile Rhone, asking an
occasional direction of a gen
darme, but avoiding contacts. Mon
day hiaa movements were equally
provincial;' iiie 'iiic-1 uiug 'roviug uy
rycle-cab, the afternoon in the
Hotel de Ville with its historic
frescoes and statues, and at the
Musee with Its treasures of anti
quity; prehistoric remains, price
less relics in bronze and pottery
from the days of Phoenicia and Cy
prus, paintings representative of
the greatest Swiss artists of all
times, military uniforms and Im
pedimenta that depleted graphi
cally the. rising grandeur of war
from the dark ages, when men
slaughtered their fellows with a
blade on the end of a pike, on
down to the present enlightened
period of hurling death a dozen
miles.
Farnham ended ills three days
of Innocent exploration in time to
dress for an early dinner at the
Beau Rivage and a stroll to the
postoffice at rue Mont Blanc where
he sent a brief telegram to an ad
dress In Paris, stating simply that
he had been unavoidably delayed
in leaving Geneva.
Senora Quarazza's motor boat
arrived at the quay In front of the
hotel exactly at nine, the same
moment that Farnham reached the
lake front ready to embark. Car
lotta was bubbling over with ani
mation. She greeted hlrr. with out
stretched arms, kissed him lightly
on both cheeks, and drew him
down beside her in the cabin.
'If I am so happy,' she exclaim
ed, Tt Is because I have ver' won
derful news! Can you guess?'
Farnham shook his head, then
brightened.
'Ah, yes, I have It,' he ventured.
'You have news that Senor Don
Ricardo is returning home.'
'Por Dins!' she flared. 'It Is that
Don Ricardo will not return for
one, two, perhaps three months.'
He offered no comment and look
ed across at Mademoiselle Le Riv
et, who seemed even more thought
ful and somber than on their first
trip to the chateau of von Kulm.
'I have felt very guilty the past
three days, neglecting my affairs
so shamelessly,' he said, address
ing them both. 'But now that the
hour is hero, I can only feel grate
ful for your kindness In asking me.'
'We have only done our duty by
a mos; amiable gentleman alone
In a strange land,' responded Mad
emoiselle Le Rivet, a vaguely
whimsical note in her voice.
But Carlotta was not to be di
verted by Farnham's attempt to
lead the conversation into safer
grounds. She moved close to him
and entwined her arm In his.
'You are not pleased,' she press
ed him, 'that the Benor will not
return for so long a time, yes?'
'It-woiild hardly be the thing
would it,' he avoided her, 'for me
to gloat over the scnor's ill-fur
tune?'
'Monsieur Is a ver' stupid or a
ver' clever man,' Carlotta pouted.
'I've often been accused of the
former,' laughed Farnham. 'Sel
dom of the latter.'
The chateau of Count von Kulm
was mor resplendent than on the
preceding Friday. There were few
er in civilian dress, a greater num
ber of gorgeous uniforms, an or
chestra of perhaps a hundred In
struments, more servants and major-domos
than bofore. The guests
were placed formally in the great
reception hall, according to sta
Hon; and Abbas and tho Grand
Duke were announced from the
great stairway.

The ruffles and flourishes of
royalty were sounded by trumpet
ers and drummers in the dress
of the Russian Household Guards.
Farnham wondered that Abbas
Hilmi claimed precedence over the
Russian Grand Duke. The Khedive
was out of the picture, so far as
the Egyptian throne was concern
ed. The English had seen to that
in a most decisive manner, the
Grand Duke, on the other hand,
had taken over the chaotlo affairs
ot Russia as regent upon the over
throw of the Czar, Farnham re
membered, and might again come
Into great power. What mission,
then, brought liim to Switzerland
at this critical hour? What social
law gave an ex-khedive precedence
over the possible ruler of all the
Russlas?
The Grand Duke and Abbas
Hilmi both appeared in military
uniform, the Khedive's topped by
a Bcarlet fez. They bowed with an
impressive reserve to von Kulm's
guests, who responded with the
knee-bending obsequiosness due
royalty while these two haughty
mortals made their -way to the
grand banquet hall. A liveried wait
er for each guest tonight. Rhine
wines, . Burgundies, champagne,
and liqueurs; and frequent toasts
to the health of the royal guesls,
toasts delivered in Esperanto, the
International langungo cradled nt
Geneva, of which Farnham under
stood no word.
Carlotta had taken complete pos
session of him again, and, since
she was brazenly Intent on break
ing down Farnliam's reserve to
night, he was kept at his wits'
end, parrying her advances with
out making himself offensive to
her.
'Monsieur, you are the first man
that ever dare treat Carlotta llks
she Is the rug of the Turk undei
your feet!' she exclaimed hotly, as
they sat on the moonlit terrace
outside after dinner. 'Is it that I
am so ver' distasteful to you, mon
sieur?' 'The very opposite, senora,' lie
said politely. 'But I must not let
myself forget that you have drunk
much champagne and are not quite
yourself.'
'So, I am the Infant in arms, you
think, monsieur, yes? Well, t will
tell you. then. The wine It have
not affect me; It Is my heart that
havo spoken to you. But I will not
throw myself at your feet, mon
sieur!' She covered her face with her
hands and sat in silence for a full
minute, then got up abruptly.
Farnham arose quickly and faced
indoors in mule indication that he
was ready to go In.
Senora Quarazza gave an excla
mation ot Bharp disgust.
'Pardon, monsieur she said in
a caustic drawl. '1 will find fof
you Mademoiselle Le Rivet.'
