Good facilities have boon pro vided In inot of tho other cities: Salem, Eugene, Albany, Corvnllis, Grants Pass and Medford all have terminals where passengers may leave or board tbe buses under cover. Ill Roseburg tho city street 1h the terminal so far as loading and unloading Ib concerned, In fact that portion nf Washing ton street between Main and Jack son s almost useless ns a street when the buses uro tburt which is several times eucl) day and that block In an Important link In our city street systuin. liown through tho years rumors and reports havo flouted about from time to time that new term inal facilities were going to be pro vided for bus patrons. Hut noth ing over actually happened. Tliure is even now talk of something to be done, though where It Is to be or when, Is not definitely staled. Meanwhile bus passengers stand out in tho rain, their feet In lit tle pools of water mi tbe sldcwulks. waiting to get aboard-or to bid farewell to friends or relatives who aro leaving. Meanwhile, loo, tho street mid sldowalk aro monopolized by the transportation company. Private auto parking In our down town area Is always something of a problem, yot one ontlro block is restricted to tho uso of the buses, Obviously wo want anil need the truiiHporlutlon service provided by Mill bus cpmpuny. We hop! to hco the company prosper and In pros pering, Improve its service. Hut at present the siiuatinn Is bo un satisfactory hero that It cannot bo endured much longer without something being done to relieve It. particularly with reference to tliu parking and traffic problem.

The favored team defending champion University of Oregon gets three chances lo live up to Its reputation this weektwo against Idaho, beginning tonight, and one against Oregon Stute, which holds the league leadership ut the end of the first week of conference play. Oregon State took Idaho's measure twice last week; but Oregon- has not yet played. Idaho also gets a third chance lo break into the winning column Ibis week when It meets Washing ton Slate at Pullman Saturday. W. S.

LIEUTENANT UHOMUTJ5, lor- iner American officer in tbe serv ice ot Van Hassek, la field incom municado In France. GENERAL VAN HASSEK, mas ter ot Mexican forces, plans an at tack on the United States. COLONKL-GKNEHAL RUIZ Is the Mexican dictator through whom Van Hassek operates. CAPTAIN FINCKK is art Aus trian whose acquaintance Beuning cultivates and through him gains much Information concerning van Hassek's strength. COLONKL HHAVOT, Mexican chief of service, masqueraded as Sergeant CauJoa in an American uniform in Han Antonio, lexas, anu was tailed by Uenning. CAPTAIN HLHUr r is van lias- sek's mnjordouio. He Bununons Henning to Van HasseR, wno ques tions him about LUCKTTK DUCOS, charming young French agent sweetheart of the real llromlitz. CHAPTKR V Schroff left the room to return III a moment with a young woman. Ignoring Van Hassek she rushed up to Denning and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him ardently on tho mouth. Chore! she exclalmen. . on. but Henri, I couldn't wait for you to send for me! My uncle gave mo a ticket to Vora Crua und here am!" llonulnir coldly received the caress. ' Ho saw that she was French, undoubtedly tbe French operutive, Lucette Ducoa, who had been HioinHtz undoing, she was small, trim, and had n doll-like face, but with un intelligence in her large blue eyes that set hot apart from tho doll variety. A glance gavo Henning his ap praisal. A girl to turn any man's head, and he understood ut once llromlitz' mad infatuation for the girl. Me felt a stir of revolt at the thought of an ally from the French secret service, but prompt ly remembered tbut he bud a role to play. You shouldn't have come here this way, Lucetto," ho cooly told her. "I've u man's role to play here and it's no place for a woman." Van Hansel; cume from behind bis desk to Intervene. He took the French girl's elbows In his chubby huuda and bis voice was Ingratiating. 'Mademoiselle, uow that your Identity bus been established to our sutlsfuctlon.. you're -welcome In. Mexico. If your jrleitde doesn't trout you 'as lid should,.- my little cabbage, just you come buck und report the facts to ine!" "Mademoiselle,, now that your gratefully about Van Hussck'B flabby red neck and kissed him on his cheek. Then she turned to Henning, linked her arm in his and gleefully look him out of the room. In the street Helming culled a tuxi cab and drove to tho Alameda, where he picked out a seat under a shady cypress, 'What is It you want bore, inade ninisclle?" he bluntly deiuunded. "Information," she replied crisp iy. 'Naturally, my government sent me." "I shuuld have guessed they bad something like this in mind," be complained. "Hut why do you wish yourself off on me?" "Thero aro excellent reasons," she uuswered, regarding him with a level smile, 'For one thing we are both after the same informa tion and ought lo be able to help each other." Henning had decided that inev itably he must accept the French girl as nn ussoclute. since lie was already in the pulm of her hand if by caprice or stupidity she be trayed his masquerade. - "I ll be glad to give you advant age of anything I may lenni," he told her. "Hut of course we must work separately." "As you please." she -agreed, and puid with unabashed flunk ness. "but at least we'll have to live together." Henning demanded, "Why do you propose that?" "For two reasons. First, Van Hassek thinks I'm your mistress and I want him to continue think ing llial, for Hie lime being, at least." "Your second reason?" "Thai," she said looking at him again with her level smile, "is tnV important one In you. Ilnuuliu escaped ' rrom Vlneeniies I hire iluys after you sailed lor vera cniz. Henning sat glnrlng while bis mind swept to un eslimute of that calamity. "Don't Illume my government," Mile. Duma spoke up at once. "It was wholly the fault of a stupid secretary from your embassy who was sent to the fort to interview Hroiulits. An hour after he left, a guard found your secretary hound In llromlitz' cell, llromlitz hstl escaped In the secretary's clothes und spectacles.". "You've no doubt Uromlltz will make his way to Mexico?" Mile. Ducos smiled unconcern edly. Not the lca.it Hut now that we understand each other, monster, let's find a pim-c to live. Tonight I'd llko to have you take me to the Aveuldu Uldalto to dine and dunce." On reporting at the palare next morning, Henning was steeled by a new determination. Ho meant to pluy whatever risks were neces sary promptly to close his mission In Mexico. -With Colonel lira vol on Ihe Job. Brain Ills at large, und the French operative on his hands tie knew be skated now on vnrv thin Ice. l'ui liik- the uoou hour he played j the audacity qf walking into the general staff section and exam Inlng Van Hassek's station map showing the present location of Units. He paused in front of the ma only long enough to fix Its details In hs memory. Later ne was able to reproduce details on an ordinary map of Mexico. An estimate of strength based on Van Hassek's tables of organiza tion, which wore readily available to him, confirmed a total of 200, 000 combat troops. Engineers, la bor and line of communication troops were largely Mexican, thus leaving the whole European force free to strike. With Mile. Ducos he hud stillck a bargain. 8he was to keep strictly away from headquarters. He (promised, lier any pertinent Information he picked up and al lotted her tbe task of checking on the air service. Also she was to keep on the 'ulert for any can cellation of military leaves to Mexico City, which would be a sig nificant development. They Bet up together in an Inex pensive suite on Jesus i Maria. When they wero alono in their aiiurlmont, Mile, Ducos' attitude waa one of a purely professional associate Hut when they were to gether In public during evenings thai followed, she kept up the ruso of a romantio attachment. They had gone to tho Avenida Hidalgo for dinner one cvoning when the French girl's covort flir tation with a bald-hended Italian officer in a colonel's uniform brought from Henning a sharp re buke. "Doesn't it strike you a bit In consistent, mr-Jdemolselie," he chargod, "for you to poso as my fiancee and ut the same time flirt behind my buck while we're dnnc Ing together? We agreed that you were to limit yourself ut pres ent to finding out about Van Has sek s air service. She looked up ut blin and smiled us they danced, then put her Hps closo to bis ear and spolto In a low voice. "Would It interest you, nion sler, to know that I have learned most of what we wish to know? Van Hassek's air buses are locat ed in Tamaullpus, and be has a total of more thuu u thousand planes, with more coming by ship in the near future. Colonel Bog gio, If you will take the trouble to study his Insignia, Is an offic er of the air service." Henning searched her face and demanded, "Hogglo told you that?" Hoggio nas ton) me a great deal in tho past few days," sbe an swered. "I have." The orchestra brought their dunce to an end. Mile. Ducos end ed her scntonce in a -) harmless platitude,-.- They ;went buck, to their tabler .- '- : "Now please, monsieur, may I bring Colonel Hoggio over and in troduce him?" she pleaded. "I promised him a dance this eve ning and we can t afford to leave him dangling." Van Hassek's air colonel was thin, beakish, and cadaverous, with a shining bald head und glist ening little black eyes. In his youtli he might have been hand some, but there was nothing ro mantic left In his appearance. He attempted a iiollto restraint to ward the French girl in Uen ning's presence, but Uenning saw the H'llian was running a tem perature over her. llogglo went to the lioor with Mile Ducos at once to dunce. "How do you know this Isn't some ruse some trick?" Henning conlronted hor when they were alone. "Why 'should a trusted of ficer betray such secrets to you or anyone else. Mademoiselle?" alio nareil back: "Don t , you crodit me with knowing what I'm about, monsieur?" "I ulso credit nogglo with or dinary discretion in matters of such Importance," be retorted. "Under what clrcimst.mces did he on you oi van itasseks air bases? Mile. Ducos sat down and coin smile replaced the resentment in tier eyes. "For several days nast. mon sieur. Colonel Hoggin and I huve been r.oing about t' o city while bo showed :i;o the sights. It was vury slmplu, when we saw planes in tho sky, for me to sut hlin talk in:: ubout them, und ubuut him- self. 1 cs. much more ho bus told me. In Trout of Fernando on the Lugundu do la Mudro Van Hassek has a secret field for Ills bomb ers und pursuit ships. Shall I tell yo.i or their planes? They have rive sq'.'udrmis or tho new Ger man bombers, the JU nineties thai travel twu hundred miles an hour and huve a range uf two thousand miles with a ton of heavy bombs.
