It In the belief of these officers that submarines will become more and more n'inietui in the principal aavies of the wcrld dur ing the next few yers. Many loiU Favor Iu reviewing the deliberations of the Allied Commissions on Naval Terms, American officials find that while many pertinent arruna-nta were oe eloped against the use ot tubmariucs, many strong points also irere advanced in their faror. The principal argument for this abolition was that as kxig as the submarine sre recognised as legitimate Instru ments of warfare there would remain the danger of some nation repeating the ruthless and inhuman campaign inaugrated by Germany. Advocates of the submarine, however, do not believe such past Inhumanities should be the determining factor In deciding whether the submarine should abolished. .

It seemed only a moment that lost consciousness. When I came back to myself I was lying on the couch with Lillian Underwood's deft tender fingers working over me From somewhere back of me Dicky' voice sounded in a hoarse, gasping way that terrified me. "For God's sake, Lil, is she " Lillian's voice, firm, reassuring answered: "No, Dicky, no, she's pretty bad ly burned. I fear, but I am sure she will be all right. Now, dear boy. ge your mother to her room and make her lie down. Mrs. Durkee and T can take care of Madge better with you all out of the way. Did you ge a doctor, Alfred?" "Coming as soon as he can get here." Alfred Durkee replied. "Good." Lillian returned. "Now everybody but, Mrs. Durkee get out of here. Katie, brinar a blanket- some sheets and one of Mrs. Graham's old nightdresses from her room shall have to cut the gown." Even through the terrible scorch ing heat which seemed to envelop m body I realized that Lillian, as al ways, was dominating- the situation - could hear the snip of her scissor she cut away the pieces of burned and the low-toned direction Mrs. Durkee. which told me that Lillian already had secured our rirs aid kit and was giving me the treat ment necessary to alleviate my pain until the physician should arrive. I am sorry to confess it. but I am a coward where physical pain Is con cerned. I am not one of these wo men, who can bear the torturinr pangs of any illness or accident with out an outcry. And. struggle as 1 might. I could not repress the moan which rose to my lips. "I know child." Lillian's tender hands held my writhing ones, her pitying eyes-looked into mine; but she turned from me the next moment in amazement, for Robert Gordon the mysterious man who had loved my mother, appeared, as If from no where, at her side, twisting . hi hands together and mutterrrig "wOrd which I could not believe to be real-so-strange and disjointed were they- I felt that they must be only fanta sies of my confused brain What Mr. Gordon Said. "Mr. Gordpn. this will never do." Lillian said sternly. "I thought 1 had sent everyone out of the room except Mrs. Durkee." "1 know I am going riuht awn sgiin. But I had to rone this time Is she going to die?" "Not if I can get a chance to at tend to her without everybody both- Mr. Gordon fled at once. And Lil lian and Mrs. Durkee worked swiftly and skillfully that when the physician, a kindly, elderly pract itioner from Cresthaven arrived, my pain bad been assuaged. He looked searchingly at me. crit ically, and then with professional admiration at the bandages, and questioned Lillian at some length as to the solutions she had used In treating the burns and the'extent of the wounds. When lte had finished he spoke with admiring emphasis. "He Has Done It." Navy Agalaat Abolittow The naval faction both la this .country and abroad o posed to me abolition of the submarine believe that the factor or possible mercilcas ness of the undersea c:ait should not be separated from the equal and pos sibly worse horrors of gas warfare. jombing from the tir and mines. The parallel between the submarine ana the marine in toe seems closest par ticularly since the mine is now and has for many yonrs been recognized by all nations aa a legitimate instru ment of war. Figures gathered by the British during the war show that the losses to British merchant ship ping through mines amounted to C - R77.O00 tens compared with 6.73?.- 000 tons sunk by submarines. The argument has beeen advanced that despite the fact that the best inventive egnius of several nations worked on the problem of devising means to wipe the submarine out of existence, the sub-surface craft re trains the only long-radius vessel that, alone and unsupported, can go nearly anywhere and. entirely dis counting Its mala par-pose of torpedo ing enemy warships, its unique de fensive qualities make it a naval weapon of the utmost usefulness evtn When restricted in its use against merchant shipping. Neglect la Danger At the worst naval strategists polat out, it is never a. liability that must be protected and defended, it is admitted among naval men that the big ship still rules the seas. How long this will be true Is the question now taxing the best naval brain of ine world. . it is conceded I or ute present ax least, that the natUn that holds blindly to one lLie of naval de velopment and neglects another, par ticularly the submarine, will be in great ultimate danger. . While the nations having the strongest navies hare throughout the peace deliberations shown a dis position to egree- to the abolttiaa of the submarine, the smaller and weak eer nations maintain that, having lens tMwerful navie ,thT ini fnre. led to cling to the more powerful Instruments of protection, and of. renae and that therefore they must retain the submarine aa a matter of telf-preservatlon.

WHY YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE The Happy Farmer Tractor Two vitally important points should !e kept in mind in selecting a tractor: 1. It should Hum Kerosene with complete cotnlution, and without the necessity of Using a water feed. " 2. It should handle easily under all circumstances, and Ik? al.Ie to turn short in its ,racks- , mtitd lioth theso important features are combined exclusively in the La Crosse HAPPY FA KM EH Tractor. There's a reason for everv oint of difference in the HAPPY FA KM Ell design. Earlier tractor mis takes have served a guide posts to our engineers, and they have loen enahled to take the safer and better road to success in practical, efficient tractor building. The HAPPY FARMER is isitively self guiding in the furrow, leaving the operator free to devote his attention to his implements or machines. I5y pressing his foot on a brake pedal the driver can pivot th tractor on either drive wheel, turning it short in its tracks, right or left. It will do any kind of work a In u t the farm, including all IhH work, and do it let ter than horses, and at a considerable saving in lalwr and upkeep. I?'
