MANUEL OFFERS TO HELP ENGLAND German Cruiser Emden Destroyed by Australian ALLIES ASK JAPS London—Destruction of the German cruiser Emden, which has long preyed FOR AID IN WEST on the commerce of the allies in E ast "TO had It out the nlrht 1 left the house and told her not to wait up for me." Slade reminded him. “I never quarrel with anyone more than once.” He eyed Hayes critically for a min ute. "You're with me, aren’t you?” as If an idea had juet occurred to him. "I'm awfully aorry for Mrs. Slade.” Hayes began, when Slade Interrupted. "Look here, Hayes—I want a di vorce,’’ and he seated himself squarely In front of the astonished Hayes. "A divorce?" "T hat’s what I want," and his lips shut grimly. "But, my God!" Hayes was amazed. "You didn’t want It tn the first place. All you wanted was to live your own life. Do you expect me to help you get rid of Mrs. Slade?” “Don’t go crazy,” Slade advised, not a suggestion of feeling evident in his voice or manner. "If you do you are due for a sur prise. I can’t go sticking a knife into that woman’s heart. I won’t.” “You’re a h—1 of a law yer!” Slade s anger was rising. “I’m not that sort of a lawyer," Haves rose as If to dismiss the sub ject. “W hatever sort of a lawyer you are I made you, Hayes.” ”1 know you did,” returned Hayes, bitterly. "You’ve told me that before and this Is what comes of letting a man make you!” "You bet, rank Ingratitude,” hotly. Hayes leaned forward, his arms on his knees and looked Slade square in the eyes. "I honestly think you're drunk with all this power and prosperity. That little woman wae the apple of your eye. I always said to myself: 'There’s one man who does stick to Ills wife!' I didn't believe wild horses could drag you away from home— ” “One m inute!" Interrupted Slade. "All that has nothing to do with you. Neither you nor anyone living can interfere with me now. Have you stopped to figure out, and I say It with all kindness and with all respect, what sort of a governor'« lady Mrs. Slade would make, feeling as she does?” “Well, what sort of a governor would you make If you were di vorced?" Ilayes questioned, mock ingly. “Those men in there.” and he Jerked his thumb toward the smok ing-room door; "will they stand for that?” “They’ve got to—I own them, boots and all!” “But you don’t own public opinion,” thundered Hayes, banging his fist down on the table, scattering the copies of the senator's speech in all directions. “Why don't I?” Slade questioned with an arrogant smile disfiguring hts mouth. "I’m going to buy half of M erritt’s paper tonight. I guess that will be public opinion enough for me. More than that, I'll stand as a man whose wife has deserted him. T hat’s how It will end. Mrs. Slade will de cide where she’s to live—but it must be at some distance.” “You won’t get your divorce through desertion,” Hayes scoffed. “I know her. You can't do It.” "I can't do it, eh?” Slade’s eyes, held a nasty expression. “T hat’s what they've been telling me all my life. Ever since I was a barefooted little brat running around the mines they've said to me: 'You can’t do this and you can’t do that.' But I always did it. Let me tell you, young man, after all I’ve conquered no wom an is going to stop me! “Can’t do It. eh?” he repeated, pug naciously. "You watch me do It! You young jackanapes! I’m as good as deserted now. The only question is: Are you going to see Mrs. Slade—put her aboard a train east or not?" "Mrs. Slade has been my best friend,” Hayes answered quietly. ‘I love her dearly—I—” his voice broke. “All right. That settles It. You turn over every 6crap of paper of mine you have by"—he thought a moment— "by tomorrow night. Then you can walk the ties to the devil, young man, and go back where I found you.” As Hayes turned to go, Strickland hurried into the room. "M erritt has just introduced a very unexpected subject in the smoking- room—the question of—well, you’ve got to know It, Slade—the question of Mrs. Slade." Hayes wheeled around and watched to see what effect this announcement would have on Slade. ern waters, and the bottling up on the coast of East A frica of the German cruiBer Koenigsberg was reported offi cially Wednesday.
