C All American troops will be out of Germany by July under orders issued by Secretary Weeks Monday by direction of Presi dent Harding.

The announcement of the decision for complete American evacuation of occupied territory in Germany was made by Secretary Weeks as his first act on his return to the war depart ment from a three weeks' vacation in Florida. He added .that, thestepwas ordered in compliance with the policy previous!? announced of 'withdrawing the Rhine forces as quickly as pos sible. It had no relation, he said, to the wrangle in congress over further re duction of the size of the army, nor did it result from the correspondence between the state department and the allied commissioners over the Amer ican demand for a share In German reparations payments on account of the maintenance of troops in Germany. It was admitted at the war depart ment that the action of the United States in completely abandoning the -Rhineland position might have some effect on the negotiation's resulting from Secretary Hughes' action in sub mitting a request that the United States receive a share in German rep arations payments already made to cover maintenance of the armies of the Rhine.

HOPE SEEN FOR ONE Declaration That Pacific Treaty Con templates "No Alliance" Ac ceptable to Harding,! jn fj. - 37 t t a-; , Washington1, D. . Three proposed reservations" promise .tobecomet'the final storm centers of the senate's de bate on the four-power Pacific treaty, which entered a concluding chapter Monday' ,uhderj a uh4'rfSnous consent agreement to vote finally on ratifica tion Friday.- ... ' Only one of these reservation 'Is said by the supporters to be accept able to President Harding, and- it 1s- the only.qne that administration lead ers expect to see adopted. It was framed in' the foreign. delations- com' mittee ' and 'declares the treaty con- templates, "no alliance." A groifp 'of administration senators still hope they may accomplish ratification ; without even this qualification;' but those in charge of the treaty are not now' in clined to try the experiment. A second reservation which is ex pected to provoke a determined fight is in process of formulation by various groups of senators -opposed to unre served ratification. It will provide that outside powers shall be consulted in Pacific controversies where their interests are affected. The third is a blanket "no alliance" declaration,' originally framed by .for eign relations committee republicans but abandoned by, them after, confer ences with President Harding and re introduced on the senate floor by. Sen ator Johnson, republican, ;CalIfornia, an "irreconcilable" foe of the treaty. As the situation shapes in. its final analysis, the old groupings of the Ver sailles treaty fight are reappearing, but with many material alterations. Its former members are pf the repub lican "mild reservationlst bloc," who have takan the lead in urging that the revised committee draft of the "no alliance" reservation be voted down. On the other hand, it was to placate a wing of the Versailles "irreconclla- bles" that the reservation was framed. Again, as in the. Versailles treaty maneuverlngs, the administration lead ers are trying by the middle course to keep peace between these., two. ele ments. . Pig Census to Be Taken. Washington, D.

By ten o'clock a heavy rain and wind had settled over the Storm Country with euch' force that the waves were rolling southward like ivory-crested mountains. . Once in a while a heavy thud of thunder rever berated over the lake from the north, losing its roar bacjc of the Cornell buildings on'the university campus. Devon's canal' boat was. following the little tug Vhlch was lihgglng the western shore northward. -Tonnibel In the JIttle room back of the cabin, was searching through the darkness from the small wlpdow. But the only thing she could see was the dark bank along which they crept and . which once in a while was lit up by a vivid streak of lightning. - - ' Suddenly the engine stopped, and as if she imagined Gussle could help her1 she gathered her Into her arms. In a vivid streak ot lightning she saw they were anchored close to Crowbar point Which protected them somewhat from ' the wind. "She crouched low when the "little door opened and Uriah colled her name. "Com out here, Tonnibel," he com manded roughly, and Tony, with Gus sle In her arms, crept into the cabin, By GRACE MILLER WHITE I where Reede was seated on a bunk, looking pale and sullen. "Set down on the floor, brat," com- manded Uriah, and Tonnibel dropped down. "Now listen to me, Tony," went on Devon. "Ever since you've been knee high to a cpsshoppej. you been as mean as the devil.

To tight sluglejianded a drunken man with a gun 'was fool hardy and would do little Tony no good. When he reached the corner of the lake he ran hi craft ashore and sat for a long time thinking. Suddenly he saw through the dusk that the ca nal boat had left Its moorings and was moving slowly northward In the teeth of the rising wind. With an ejacula tion he shoved off and was out in the boiling surf. Wherever that boat went he decided to-- go. "too. ---I As he paddled carefully along, he could see the shadows of two men in the glimmer ot the little light in the 'small pilot house. Then Reggie was 'there with Devon, but where war Tony? : v" '" ' One small window In the canal boat gave forth a dim light He felt within him that she- was there where that light was, alone and suffering. What had she thought of his allowing him self to be for$ awajfrom hir wheij she needed him most? HI teeth came together sharply. He was no coward, this Philip MacCauley, this captain of the Salvation army. Suddenly he caught sight of a pass ing shadow In the cabin, and his heart leapt up within him.

LSlie was staring at hinj htenkjy as if his ghost had suddenly risen out ot the storm-tossed lake. ' "Don't do thai, 'darling," he whis pered as she drew back in terror. "I m going to take you "away." Then she realized who it was, and reached out and clutched at him, breathlessly. "Climb through," undertoned Philip. "Quick, climb through, and when I tell you-3u.4ropr44t,itf-Be-ifoe? By holding his berty r'gldljr.ett, he managed to' keep' tlie 'canoe" upright.

It was taking the girl an Interminable time to squeeze herself through that opening. Suddenly her shoulders 'were through, and she was hanging on by her hands. Just at thjit moment the tug ahead became silent, and Philip , heard the two men walking back along its roof. They were coming aboard the canal boat, and If v He crushed tne canoe nearer, llfted;one. hand and Jerked the hanging figure of the girl, avyay from the window. She flopped tMer down ward Into the bottom, of tlte.anoe, and Philip left her there Ump..vlthout a word;.

It took a shorter- time than it: takes to tell it for the canoe to reach the shore. ' Under the overhanging trees where they were shielded from" the wind, Philip turned and looked back. A man's face1 was thrust through the :wlndow which had Just yielded up the quiet little figure nt his feet Then two forms appeared upon the stern deck. From the hand of one of the men- hung-a lanterfn Philip remained Very still. He knew they could not see him hidden away there in the dark ness. For a long tlmethrough which Ton nibel nevorved! PWfip waited. The men on the canal boat seemed filled with terror. They ran from one end of It to the other. He heard them, call ing to and fro, and oncer in 'a While an oath . escaped1 from Devon: 1 as he screamed his. daughter's name loHdly.

And so touched was Philip MacCauley, he felt the tears rim his own lashes. For a long time, in fact until the rain ceased to beat upon the rocks and shore, they stayed under cover. Most of the time they were silent most of the time Phil ip held the curly head against his breast. When the dawn began to break Tonnibel roused herself. - 'Tin goin away now," she said. "Tve'got to "go to my friends. And I can't tell you Just hew much I'm thankln' you." "But If I let you go," protested Philip, "ru- never see you again.
