Take, for example, vessels bringing supplies to Belgium or France. It Is of the greatest import ance that we have a quick turn around. It may be of advantage to reroute a vessel on this side to India or to South Africa. "The London, Paris or Antwerp of' fices would have precise information and be able to consign a ship without lelay for its most efficient use. The subordinate centers are essential properly to direct our national fleet. They will be managed by. practical shipping men who will be assigned to :heir posts from the United States. "There will be no Interference with the War department's handling of ships. The service of supply has real ly done Its work admirably and we hall not have any changes to make In that.

In answer to a message for a conference, Mr. Hoover sent this message: "You can describe two and a half years of arrogance toward ourselves and cruelty to the Belgians in any language you may select and tell the pair personally to go to hell with my compliments.

Carolyn CAROLYN'S SUNNY DISPOSITION BEGINS TO HAVE ITS EFFECT UPON AUNTY ROSE. Synopsis. Her father and mother reported lost at sen when the Dunraven, on which they had sailed for Europe, was sunk, Carolyn May Cameron Hannah's Carolyn is sent from New York to her bach elor uncle, Joseph Stngg, at the Corners. The reception given her by her uncle is not very enthusiastic. Carolyn is also chilled by the stern demeanor of Aunty Rose, Uncle Joe's housekeeper. Stagg is dismayed when he learns from a lawyer friend of his brother-in-law that Carolyn has bfem left practically penniless and consigned to his care as guardian. CHAPTER IV Continued. Therefore General Bolivar charged with outspread wings and quivering fan. His eyesight was not good, how ever. He charged the little girl in stead of the roistering dog. Carolyn May frankly screamed. Had the angry turkey reached the little girl he would have beaten her down and perhaps seriously injured her. lie missed her the first time, but turned to charge again. Prince barked loudly, circling around the bristling turkey cock, undecided just how to get luto the battle. But Aunty Eose knew no fear of anything wearing feathers. "Scat, you brute I" she cried, and made a grab for the turkey, gripping him with her left hand behind his head, bearing his long neck downward. In her other hand she seized a piece of lath and with It chastised the big turkey across the Jiaunches with vigor. ' f "Oh, don't spank him any more, Aunty Bose!" gasped Carolyn May at lust. "lie must be sorry." With a final stroke Aunty Rose al lowed the big fowl to go nnd he ran away fast enough. "Your dog, child, does not know his manners. If he is going to stay here with you he must learn that fowl are not to be chased nor startled." "Oh,' Aunty Rose!" begged the little girl, "don't punish Prince! Not not that way. ' Please don't ! Why, he's never been spanked in his lifel He wouldn't know what It meant. Dear Aunty Rose " "I ahnll not bent him, Car'lyn May," Interrupted Aunty Rose.- "But he must learn Ills lesson. He must learn that liberty is not license. Bring him here, Car'lyn May." She led the way to on open coop of laths In the middle of the back yurd. This was a hutch in which she put broody hens when she wished to break up their desire to set. She opened the guto of It and motioned Prince to enter. The dog looked pleadingly at his little mistress' face, then Into the worn nn's Btern countenance. Seeing no reprieve in either, with drooping tall he slunk into the cage. With one hand clutching her frock over her heart, Carolyn May's big blue eyes overflowed. "It's Just as If he was arrested," she snld. "Poor Prince I Hns he got to stay there always, Aunty Rose?" He'll stay till lie learns his lesson," said Mrs. Kennedy grimly, and went on Into the garden. Curolyn May sat down close to the side of the cage, thrust one hand be tween the slats and held one of the doc's front paws. She hud hoped to go Into the garden to help Aunty Rose pick pens, but she could not bear to leave Prince alone. By and by Mrs. Kennedy came up from tho garden, her pan heuped with pods. She looked neither In the di rection of the prisoner nor at Ills little mistress. Prince whined and lay down. He had begun to realize now that this wus no pluy nt all, but punishment He blinked his eyes at Carolyn May and looked as sorry as ever a dog witli cropped ears and an abbreviated tail :ould look. The pens nnd potatoes were cook ing for dinner when Aunty Rose ap penred again. There was the little girl, all of a dewy sleep, lying on the jrass by the prison pen. Aunty Rose would have released Prince, but, ihouch he wagged his stump of a tail it her and yawned and blinked, she !md still her doubts regarding a roon- ;rel s good nature. She cuuld not allow the child to deep there, however; so, stooping, picked up Carolyn May and carried tier comfortably Into the house, laying ler down on the sitting-room couch to tinve her imp out as she supposed, slthout awakening her. Auuty Rose came awny softly and closed the d.ior and while she finished letting dinner she tried to make no mlse which would awaken the child. Mr. Staig enme home at noon, quite is full of business as usual. To tell :h truth, Mr. Stneg always felt bash ful In Annty Rose's presence; and he tried to hide his affliction hy conversa tion. So ha tulked steadily through '.he meal. But somewhere a bout at the pie rourse, It was he stopped and looked ironnd curiously. "West mtV be exclaimed, "where"! daonnh's CarTynF of the BY RUTH BELMORE ENDICOTT "Taking a nap," said Aunty Rose composedly. "Hum 1 can't the child get up to her victuals?" demanded Mr. Stagg. "You begin serving that young one sepa rately and you'll make yourself work, Aunty Rose." "Never trouble about that which doesn't concern you, Joseph Stagg," responded his housekeeper rather tartly. "The Lord has placed the care of Hannah's Car'lyn on you and me and I'll do my share and do it proper." Mr. Stagg shook his head and lost interest In his wedge of berry pie, "There are Institutions" he began weakly; but Aunty Rose said quickly: "Joseph Stngg! I know you for what you are other people don't. If the neighbors heard you say that they:d think you were a heathen. Your own sister's child !" "Now, you send Tim, the hackman, up after me this afternoon. ' I've got to go shopping. The child hasn't n thing to wear but that fancy little block frock, and she'll ruin that play ing around. She's got to have frocks and shoes and another, hat all jsorts of things. Seems a shame to dress a child like her In black It's punish ment. Makes her affliction double, I do say." "Well, I suppose we've got to flat ter Custom or Custom will weep," growled Mr. Stagg. "But where the money's coming from" "Didn't Car'lyn's pa leave her none?" asked Aunty Rose promptly. "Well not what you'd call a for tune," admitted Mr. Stugg slowly. "Thanks be you've got plenty, then. And if you haven't I have, said the woman in a tone thut quite closed the question of finances. "Which shows me Just where I get off at," muttered Joseph Stagg as he He Charged the Little Girl Instead of the Roistering Dog. started down the walk for- the store. "I knew that young one would be a nuisance." Carolyn May, who was quite used to taking a nap on the days thut she did not go to school, woke up, as bright as a newly minted dollar, very soon after her Uncle Joe left for the store. "I'm awfully sorry I missed him," she confided to Aunty Rose when she danced Into the kitchen. "You see, I want to get acquainted with Uncle Joe Just as fast ns possible. And he's at home so little I guess that it's going to be hard to do it." "Oh, Is that so? And Is it going to be hard to get acquainted with me?" asked the housekeeper curiously. "Oh, no!" cried Carolyn May, snug gling up to the good woman aud pat ting her plump bare arm, "Why, I'm getting 'quainted with you fast. Aunty Rosel You heard me say my prayers and when you laid me down on the couch Just now you kissed me." Aunty Rose actually blushed. "There, there, child 1" she exclaimed. "You're too noticing. Eut your dinner, that rve saved warm for you." "Isn't Prince to have any dinner, Aunty Rose?" asked the little girU "You may let him out, if you wish, after you have had your dinner. You can feed him under the tree." Carolyn May was very much excited about an hour later when a ruity closed bsck drew up to the front gate of the Stagg place and stopped. An old man with a square-cut chin mrnSl Corners Copyright, HIS, bj Dodd, Mead ft Company. Inc. whisker and clothing and hat as rusty as the hack itself held the reins over the bony back of the horse that drew the ancient equipage. "I say. younc'un. ain't you out o' ver bailiwick?" queried Tun, the hackman, staring at the little girl in the Stage yard. Carolyn May stood up quickly and tried to look over her shoulder and down her back. It was hard to get all those buttons buttoned straight. "I don't know," she said, perturbed. "Does it show?" "Huh?" grunted Tim. "Does what show?" "What you said," said Carolyn May accusingly. "I don't believe it does." "Hey!" chuckled the hack driver suddenly. "I meant, do you 'low Mra. Kennedy knows you're playing in her front yard?" "Aunty Rose? Why, of course 1" Carolyn May declared. "Don't you know I live here?" "Live here? Get out!" exclaimed the surprised hackman. "Yes, sir. And Prince too. With my Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose." "Pitcher of George Washington!" ejaculated Tim. "You don't mean Joe Stagg's taken a young-'un to board?" "He's my guardian," said the little girl primly. Aunty Rose appeared. She wore a close bonnet, trimmed very plainly, and Carried a parasol of drab silk. Aunty Rose climbed into the creaky old vehicle. . "Are you going to be gone long?" asked Carolyn May politely. "Not more than two hours, child," said the housekeeper. "Nobody will bother you here" "Not while that dog's with her, I reckon," put in Tim, the hackman. ' "May I come down the road to meet you, Aunty Rose?" , asked the little girl. "I know the way to Uncle Joe's store." "I don't know nny -reason why you can't come to meet me," replied Mrs. Kennedy. "Anyway, you can come along the road as far as the first house. You know that one?'" "Yes, ma'am. Mr. - Parlow's," said Carolyn May. Carolyn May went back into the yard nnd sat on the front-porch steps and Prince, yawning unhappily, curled down at her feet ,There did not seem to be much to do at this place. She had time now, had Carolyn May, to compare The Corners with the busy Harlem streets with which she had been familiar all her life. "Goodness me!" thought Carolyn May, startled by her own Imagination, "suppose all .the folks in all these houses around here were dead!" They might have been for all the human noises she heard. "Goodness me !" she said again, and this time she jumped up, startling Prince from his nnp. "Maybe there is a spell cast over all this place," she went on. "Let's go and see If we can find somebody that's alive." They went out of the yard together nnd took the dusty rocd toward the town. They soon came in sight of the Par low house and carpenter shop. "We can't go beyond that said Carolyn May. "Aunty Rose told us not to. And Uncle Joe says the carpenter-man isn't a pleasant man." She looked wistfully at the prem ises. The cottage seemed quite as much under the "spell" as had been those dwellings at The Corners. But from the shop came the sound of a plane shrieking over a long board. "Oh, Princey!" gasped Carolyn May. "I b'lieve he's lnnkintr inn shavings I" - If there was one thing Carolyn May adored it was curls.
