"That's just what I'd like to know. Don't you really understand?" Martha stirred uneasily. "No, really." The other girl touched her hand. Her fingers were icy. "Listen, Martha.

I was so happy when you married Bill, I wanted to get down on my knees and pray!" A host of half-forgotten mem ories came back to Martha.

And yet. they ran across Suzanne every now and then. In a restaurant where they were dining. In the lobby of a theater. Once Suzanne came to the plant with some friends from out of (own, asked Paul to show them around ... ,' So many things, now that she btcw Suzanne had always been In love with Paul. Even before Martha wore his ring. '. "Martha," Suzanne was saying huskily, "when you were engag ed to him, I played It square. 1 tried to keep out of his way. I didn't do a lot of things I could have done. Oh. It wasn't easy. Sometimes I couldn't help want ing to see him. just for a little while, But I didn't run after him, I didn't play any tricks. I told myself It was over and I tried to get along without him." ' "Yes," said Martha faintly. "Yes." ' "It was all right to begin again when you married Bill. I was wildly happy when Paul began to call me again, ask to see me. nut, Martha, It didn't lake long before 1 realized that he-, we- well, we were always a foursome." "1 don't understand." "Yes, you do. You must! Surely you weren't that blind! We'd sit right here In this apartment, and Paul's eyes never left you. He'd j look at you so hungrily and all the while he never heard a word 1 said . . ." "You're crazy, Sue," Maltha u.l,lnt,l "fV:iv " II, ,r hrnin was spinning dizzily. "You Imag-1 ined It." "Did I Imagine It when they took you to the hospital, that time when you almost had pneu- j monla, and Paul almosl lost his j mind - stayed there all night --" "He was with BUI! They sat up together, smoking, until I came out of It . . ." "Bill! His best friend! Do you think that was easy to take? Don't you see he had to pretend to to be friends with him? And then, Instead of dropping you both, letting tt wear out, Paul kept on seeing you. As If he couldn't live without seeing you!" "No. Suzanne. You're wrong. It wasn't liko that at all!" Mar-j tha got up, began to pace up and j down the living room. Thoughts ' flashed in and out of her mind, memories of nil the times she and BUI am! Paul had been to gether. "But never once did he do anything say anything " "He wouldn't have told you! i He" Suzunne choked. "He, prides himself on being honor able! Honorable! And what about me?" i She leaped to her feel. She I came and grabbed Martha's shoulders and looked straight in- i to her eyes. "Listen, that's why j 1 stopM'd coining here so much before Bill left. That's e.i.irtly, yhy. Oh, I couldn't st,iy tinny - truth! You know Its the truth And now, now that your hus band's in the army and you're alone again, Paul's making hay while the sun shines. Isn't he? That's why we quarreled! That's why he didnt tell you what it was all about, you fool! Because I told him straight out I was sick and tired of being camou flage being used as a blind so ho could see you without people talking!" "Suzanne!" Suzanne's hands dropped, wearily, and a shudder ran through her slender frame. "Oh. what's tht) use? I thought If I told you If you understood" She whirled, suddenly. "I've been a fool! You probably knew all about It. A woman always knows when a man loves her. You did know! You must have known, , . v . and ou encouraged him! trouble . . ." All at once, she was sobbing. Helpless tears stung her eyes, and her mouth, quiv ered. "Why should you come here and s. spoil a f-f-frlendship that was clean and" "Because it was never merely friendship. For Paul." "That Isn't true! You know there's nothing nothing at ail between Paul Elliott and me! Why, I was engaged to him! If 1 if he why, I'd have married him, wouldn't I? How dare you , eals- a rKe; a ' unwelcome conviction that I all those misgivings she'd had had been founded on things her own mind knew, while her heart refused to look them In the face. After a while, Suzanne lit an other cigaret. "It's no use crying," she said in a hard little voice. "I suppose I went too far when I said there was actually something be twenn you and Paul. If there had been, I suppose, he wouldn't ever have needed me for camou flage. All right, I'm sorry I saJd that. Maybe you never guessed that Paul was still In love with vuu. But If you didn't. Martha, then It's time someone told you." She stood up. "I'm going. I've said enough. But remember, there's only so much one human being can hear. And it wouldn't lie very nice, would It, if some one should tell your husband ex actly how often Paul comes here, exactly how much he takes you out and -exactly how he feels about you."

(API- President Roosevelt de scribed yesterday as "the rotten est thing that has been said in public life in my generation" a statement, which he said he had read in a paper, that every fourth - ' American child would be plowed under. He made the statement In dis cussing aspects of the contro versy over legislation to autho rize him to carry out his policy of total aid to "democracies." He declined to say who had made the statement originally aDout plowing under every fourth child, but said it had been said by several people. He added it was a good time to kill a poor slogan at oirtn. In a radio speech Sunday night Senator Burton K. Wheeler I D., Mont.), a leader of the opposition to the administration's lease-lend bill, termed the measure "the new deal's 'triple A. foreign pol- i icy plow under every fourth American boy." The chief executive had been asked at his press conference whether he had any comment on the description of the proposed legislation as "blank check." Yes, he replied, he supposed the best way to put It was to suggest that some one write him another bill that could not be so labeled I and that would accomplish the same objectives. "That is not an answer," he as serted, "to those, at all, who talk about plowing under every fourth American child, which I regard as the most untruthful, as the most dastardly, unpatriotic thing that has ever been said. Quote me on that. "That really Is the rottenest thing that has been said in public life in my generation." Wheeler Replies j Shortly after the president had : spoken, Wheeler issued the foi l Inuinff Ktatomtmt- I hiSr ,he p,esident losl! "I sincerely hope that my state ment will prove to be untrue and that no American boys will be plowed under because of this ad ministration's war minded for eign policy. "I can think of nothing more unpatriotic than to try to fan the passions of the people of this country to the point that they will accept a program that will send American boys to be killed upon foreign battlefields. "I am not unmindful that the president has said no American boys will be sent abroad,, buti I submit to the American people that every speech the president has made since election has taken this country one more step closer to the present foreign war. I hope his utterance will not In- tlmidate the people from express ing their opinions." British-U. S. War Goods Seen Destined for China TOKYO, Jan. 15.
