VERSAILLES, June 7. (Special Ca
bledCount von Krockorff-Rantzau,
head of the German peace delegation,
had & two hours' conference this morn
ing: with Herr Dorten, head of the so
called Rhenish republic recently set up.
Brockdorf f-Rantzau left tonight for
Cologne, where he will interview the
archbishop and other leading men on
the situation caused by the Dorten coup.
President Dorten, and eight other rep
resentatives of the Hhineland, piloted
by Herr Kchieff, confidential secretary
to Brockdorff-Rantzau, reached here
this morning from Coblenz, but their
arrival, as well as the plan of Brock
dorf f-Rantzau to go to' Cologne, were
carefully concealed by the allied au
thorities. While In Cologne it is believed that
Brockdorf f-Rantzau will olso consult
with emissaries of Chancellor Schlede
mann as to the effect of the Rhine se
cessionist programme on the German
peace problem. He is the only member
of the Berlin cabinet who has conferred
with President Dorten.
Herr Dorten informed Brockdorff
Rantzau that the strongest financial
and industrial interests in the Rhine
district are staunchly supporting the
programme of separation from Prus
sia, but that the new state is to be an
Integral part of the German republic
and is ready o collaborae wih he
Schiedemnn governmen in the estab
lishment of peace.
Captain Hichley Cooke, British liaison
officer, and Secretary Schieff accom
panied Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau
on his Journey. He will return to Ver
sailles Sunday morning. Captain Cooke
recently went to Cologne to arrange the
details of the trip.
Von Brockdorff-Rantzau seems to be
much pleased at the epidemic of strikes
here, which in his belief, are delaying
the allied rejoinder to his counter-proposals,
and are also helping to bring
pressure on the big four to ease the
terms of the treaty.

WE'LL go the whole way by the'
Blue Book," she said. "You
ydrive and I'll hold the book
and give you the directions. Wo can't
possibly go wrong, for it's all so per
fectly simple."
"All right," said I, as I eased off the
clutch. "Fire away."
And we Just won't ask a single per
son to direct us, either," she continued.
"Horrid things. They either don't know
or send you wrong out of spite, you
can't believe a word any of them says!"
"Any of whom?"
"Any of anybody. You know what I
mean. Policemen and farmers and
things. Are you ready?"
"Yep!"
"Very well. It says:
"Bear left with the traffic!'"
"All right."
"But you're not bearing left."
"I can't bear left Into that trolley
car ana 17"
"So, I suppose not, but how can I
take you there if you don't follow the
book?"
"Does the book say to run Into the
trolley car?"
"Of course It doesn't. You've got to
rection seemed to fit the surroundings
seemed to fit them perfectly.
There were brick churches in the
book, and we found brick churches ap
proximately in' their indicated places
in the scenery. There were cross roads
in the book and sure enough cross
roads turned up magically in their ap
pointed locations along the road.
Now and then things became a little
mixed, as when the book referred
pointedly to passing to the left of an
insane asylum. We were on a hill top
at this juncture and no insane asylum
appeared in a prospect that covered
miles and miles. It did seem as if in
sane asylums would be difficult to
camouflage effectively. And we
couldn't see any reason for camouflag
ing an insane asylum, anyway. Its un
expected abBence puzzled us sorely, but
we tried to forget it, and went on.
Suddenly there appeared before us a
sign bearing the words:
"Connecticut."
That was all it said. Yet seemed
pregnant with meaning. Our destina
tion was Poughkeepsie.
"I didn't know Connecticut was In
this vicinity," I said, slowing up.
"It isn't. The sign just said Con
necticut. It might have meant that

Seattle and Tacoma Drug Stores
Contribute 2000 Bottles to
U. S. Attorney's Men.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 7. (Special.)
More than 2000 bottles of proprietary
medicines declared to be palpable
quack medicines, for virtually every
disease known to medical science, have
been seized by federal authorities in
Seattle eand Tacoma during- the last
four weeks,- as a first step in the more
risid enforcement of the national food
and drug1 act, II. C. Saunders, United
States district attorney, announced Sat
urday. Manufacturers of the medicines seized,
all of which were taken from retail
drug" stores, the distirct attorney said,
have violated that provision of the law
which relates to misbranding of drugs.
Extravagant claims for the curative
properties of the remedies were printed
on the labels, or accompanying circu
lars, he said, in every case. Some of
the preparations are said to be adver
tised as positive cures of diseases for
which reputable physicians know no
specific remedies, he said, while others
are accompanied with the broad assur
ance that they will cure anything- from
a headache to consumption.
'The government is going to prevent
euch violations of the law in every
possible case," said Mr. Saunders. "In
a sense the public has been educated
of late years as to the worthlessnesq
of quack nostrums, but there are still
thousands of gullible persons being vic
timized. And every effort is now be
ing made to enforce the law to the let
ter. The food and drug bureau of the
department of agriculture is lending its
co-operation in the work of driving
from the market all medicinal prepara
tions bearing untruthful labels

Miss Gleason has been a successful rea
wait till the trolley car gets out of the
way."
"But the trolley car is stalled. There's
a jam on the track ahead:"
"Well then, why don't you drive
around it? It does seem to me you are
a little incomplete this morning."
"Incom what?"
"Incomplete not all there if I must
be plain. Do go ahead. We shan't need
the book, anyway, till we get out of
town. Then we'll go back to it.
To the city limits we proceeded In
silence. Then
"I think we had better resume the
book now. This is Tarrytown."
"1 thought it was Yonkers."
'It can't be Yonkers. It says Tarry
town right here." She placed a finger on
the book. "See 23.4 Tarrytown. Main
street and Broadway. Straight through
across trolley.' And there's the trolley."
"I suppose Tarrytown is the only
place in New York that has a trolley!"
"X knew you'd say that. But I'm right
just the same. The speedometer reg
isters 23.4 miles, and that's what
it says in the book."
"No doubt, but you see I ran the car
all over town this morning buying
things for the trip."
"Well, that may make a difference.
Ask that policeman."
"Not much. He'd send us wrong for
spite. We stick to the Blue Book, ac
cording to plan."
Again there was silence and we kept
straight ahead.
In 10 minutes a sign confronted us
which said In large letters
"THIS IS TARRYTOWN."
There seemed no reason to believe
that an inanimate sign would harbor
misdirecting spite against us, so we set
ack the speedometer, and once more
ook our bearings.
"Brick church in fork," she read,
bear left down, grade."
That will run us into the river,
won't it?"
Not if you know how to stop the
ar. Please do as the book says.
I bore left down grade.
"Right is Bedford road to Briarcliff
through John D. Rockefeller's estate,"
she Quoted.
"Do we take it?
"It doesn't say so."
"Well for the love of Mike, how are

No-..- be patient. Here is the next
thing. 'Go under aqueduct 2G.B and up
teep grade beyend.
'But there isn't any aqueduct to go
under."
Well, we've got to find one, that's
all."
It took 10 or la minutes to find an
aqueduct, but we found it and went
under it.
'Twenty-eight and eight-tenths, she
murmured. "Continue down grade. Cau
tion not to pass."
Then I guess we better not try to
pass."
It doesn't say not to. Better go
ahead."
Ahead wa went, but when the caution
was repeated, not by the book, but by
squat Sicilian bearing a rea nag we
heeded it. Somehow or other, in an
other half hour we found ourselves in
Briarcliff. .1 knew it was Briarcliff, be
cause a sign said so, and I am a firm
believer in signs.

Yes, of course it did."

She waved her hand to the east.

At 2 o'clock that afternoon she said
"1 am not quite so sure now. It
has been talking a lot about railroads,
and 1 haven't seen any railroads lately."
"What has it been saying about rail

Oh, just about crossing them and
going under them and that sort of
thing. You don't suppose they have
been taking the railroads away, do
you? '

sheet of water stretched below the

asked anxiously.

The river looks wide, doesn't it?"
she said. "You can hardly see the
other shore."
"Yes, It does look wide, but maybe
they've been widening it, on account
of the war. Cheer up, we'll soon find
out."
We drove into a very considerable
city and drew up at the nearest gaso
line station.
"Nice town, Poughkeepsie," we said
to the man, as he unscrewed the cap
of our gas tank.
He appeared to be surprised.
"They say it's a nice town," he said.
"I've never been there!"
"You've never been there! What
town is this, then?"
"This," said the man, "is New Haven!"
