If' here is one thing on which the foreign observers in Russia are agreed it is on the hopelessness of the monarchist cause here. The ab- olition of the Romanoff dynasty, and of the Czardom as such, is re- garded as one of the consequences of the revolution which not even the most anti-Soviet elements here want to relinquish. The procedure of the exiled aris- tocrats in choosing a "Czar" and in maintaining a phantom "court" are viewed in the Soviet press with hil- arlous amusement, Thus the only published references here to the re- cent selection of Grand Duke Cyril as "Russian Emperor" were in sat- irical verse and cartoons, picturing the whole business as the "antics of lunatics." ACTION ON TREATY EXPECTED SHORTLY Anglo-American Arbitration Pact Conversations Appear Near Washington, March 18, -- Definite action by the British Government on the proposed arbitration treaty be- tween Great Britain and the United States is expected by afficial and dip- lomatic circles to be taken shortly. The new treaty would replace the famous Root arbitration treaty signed by the two countries in April, 1908, which automatically expired last June, Drafts of a treaty similar to that which the United States had signed with other nations were submitted to the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, late in 1927, but to date the 'BRITISH {SUBJECTS who arrived in Canada before June 6th 1928 may bring their WIVES and FAMILIES to CANADA 00 ~ (chlidren under 17 years free) ; Apply to Bay & Wellington Sts.

Phone 378 WE DELIVER British Government has taken no ac- tion, In the interim it is understood the British Foreign Office has been consulting with the Dominions. The new treaty confines the sub- jects which are excepted from arbitra- tion to much closer lines than the Root treaty, The only exceptions in which arbitration would not be al- lowed are questions of a domestic nature; those involving a third party; those which might interfere with the traditional attitude of the United States under the Monroe Doctrine, and obligations of the British Em- pire under the Covenant of the Lea- gue of Nations, All of the British Dominions are understood to have made their posi- tion known to the Foreign Office, and discussions are now taking place to meet their views and decide upon a middle course which will meet with the Dominions' desires, and at the same time not destroy the effcctive- ness of such a treaty. 3 It is believed possible in some cir- cles here that both Canada and the Irish Free State might prefer a clause in the treaty permitting them to negotiate directly with the United States questions which only concern them, and do not involve other sec- tions of the British Empire. It is not believed likely, however, that either of these Dominions would refuse to approve the treaty in the event that such a clause was not inserted. It has also been suggested that Canada and the Free State might ne- gotiate a separate arbitration treaty with the United States, leaving the treaty with Great Britain to cover the Dominions of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, Although diplo- matic circles believe that such separ- ate treaties would be acceptable to the United States, the plan has not received much attention, When the Dominions have decidéd in their discussions with the Foreign Office just what they desire in the treaty, Sir Esme Howard will be in- structed to begin conversations with State Department officials.

Marcia takes sick and is com- fined to her bed. Beatrice rebels agninst the poverty in which they lve. CHAPTER IV Now, today into the midst of the! girl's vague fretting and uneasi- ness over the whole situation, had fallen this bombshell of a serious offer of marriage from Houston Challoner, Beatrice could hardly believe it, even mow. But her memory of the few words he had said was perfectly clear, and there were the violets to prove it. He was a ratner tense, serious man, at best, and today he had shown a certain nervousness--al- most a shyness--with this girl who might so easily have been his daughter, "Will you ask that very lovely mother of yours something for me, Miss Beatrice?" he had sald. "Anything!" the girl had answ- ered simply, smiling. But the col- or had rushed up into her face none the less, at his tone. "will you ask her if you may dine with me, any night next week, at the Underhill, and go to see 'Robinson Crusoe'?'"" he had sald. "Ropinson Crusoe" was the great musical spectacle, coming from New York for one week at North Underhill, There was not a girl in the office who was not scheming to see *"Ropinson Cru- soe", But Beatrice's heart had sunk strangely at the invitation, and under her shabby old fur- trimmed blue coat she had felt the muscles drawing back from the neighborhood of Houston Challon- er's shoulder, He--why, he was forty-eight; he was old. And if he took her to the theatre--if he showed every- one what he thought of her-- Loyalty had sprung up within her too--Iloyalty to dear Marcia, 80 unable to protect herself from the anguish this news would cause her! Thoughts surged confusedly back and forth in her mind as the quiet snowy afternon went by and Marcia dozed and waked and dozed again and Mrs, St. John rocked fit- fully in her favorite chair, played solitaire fitfully, knitted fitfully for the old soldiers in the home, and fitfully went to and fro bet- ween the bedroom and the kitchen, putting out milk bottles, refusing agents, talking to the laundryman. "Well, look here--where were you with the wash yesterday? Fri- day, yes, Well, of course, Oh, I see. Oh, that's too bad. No, it didn't make the slightest differ- ence, as it happens," Beatrice washed her hair and doubled herself over at the light- el gas logs in the false fireplace, drying it. "Of course it doesn't make the slightest difference," she echoed her mother's words scornfully, deep in her soul. "Nothing makes the slightest difference to us. wonder if anything will ever hap- pen to this family? "I always used to think," she reflected further, "that the girls in books were fools not to marry a rich man, if one came along. Why not? All men are pretty much alike, especially if you're not in love, and certainly Mr. Challoner is as nice as he can be. He's al- ways been lovely to us; he came to see_us when Mummy was sick. Put - theatre except with the boys I've known all my life but I do apprec- fate your asking me and I know I would have had a lovely time if I had gone," Houston Challoner looked at hér very attentively while she said ft, and answered kindly that he ap- preclated exactly how ghe felt, and he thanked her for being so honest with him, and that he hoped she would think of him as one of her realest, truest friends, "If anything ever comes up in which I could be of service to you," he said, "I want you to feel that you could turn to me." Beatrice thanked him again, and went away feeling more uncomort- able than ever. Even while he spoke she was thinking that he had never sald that to Marcia, for all the loyal service Marcia had rend- ered him, and that it was not fair, How prickly it made her feel! How ecstatieally it would have thrill- ed Marcia! Beatrice had spoken to him at mid-day, when they both happened to be coming out of the Challoner Building, where the offices of the company were situated. She wat- ched him go down the street to the snowy curb, where his car was waiting; a well-made, slender, handsome man in a fur-collared coat, with just the right gloves and hat, just the right nod to his chauffeur as he got in beside him, "I declare I think there's some- thing chemical in the way people make you feel!" Beatrice mused, turning into Canfield's Cafeteria, and eyeing creamed carrots and fruit cup and macaroni salad with an absent eye, 'Some persons are alive to you, and some are dead, and "ou can't help fit; it's just that way, It's no use for me to tell myself that he's terribly nice and that I'm an awful fool in a town of this size, with the boys here what they are, to let him get away. He simply isn't alive to me, Rome, Mar, 18.--The Italian army is being trained in ceremonies an® salutes to be accorded the Pope when he makes his excursions from the vatican, it was made known to- day, A salute of 650 guns will be fired when Pope Plus leaves the Vatican for the first time to take posses- sion of St. John's Basilica as Bishop of Rome. Late in July the Pope is expected to visit the monastery of Monte Cassino. At that time a large num- ber of troops will render homage Italian Army Trained in Salutes To Be Accorded to Pope Pius lining the route from the railway station to the monastery, a distance of five miles. As the Papal escort proceeds up the windingroad to the monastery, a 50-gun salute will be fired by the local garrison. All persons must kneel when the Pope approaches, according to of- ficial instructions given the army. No one must speak to him unless he first beckons, and orders must be received while kneeling, Italian soldiers marching must halt when the Pope approaches, and have beén instructed to salute at 10 paces, facing him if armed. CONFIRM SENTENCE IN MICHALKO TRIAL Must Pay Death Penalty for Murder of American Woman Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, Mar, 18. --The sénsational and mysterious Voeroehmarty trial, in which a former Slovakian military leaavr was accused of the murder of an American woman, was ended here yesterday after .three years of court battle when the highest court confirmed a sentence of death pass- ed on Jan Michalko, charged with killing Margit Voeroehmarty, The sentences of Jan Klepaar, a physician, to life imprisonment, and of Nicholas Sikorski, factory official, to 16 years in prison, also were confirmed in connection with the case. Remarkable Case The murder and subsequent trial of the three men formed one of the most remarkable cases in recent Czecho Slovakian history. Margit Voeroehmarty returned and there you are!" She turned her attention reso- lutely to Younzer May and Harry Fontaine. Roger Newberry had gone away, Beatrice stud'ed them as possible husbands. Of course neither had a penny, but, then, that didn't matter, or, at least, that shouldn't matter, for, after all, thousands of rich, successful men had started as poor boys. Youncer was a handsome crea- ture, with a deep natural ripple in golden hair that went far toward aton'ng for his shallowness and stun'dity, Herry would be a safe enough eprson to marry, if one loved him. But, unfortunately, she herself could not se: n to feel even the faintest stir of emotion where h or anyone else, was concerned, % scared her a little, this remoteness, "I never get anywhere with your red-headed, proud, tall type," one boy had told her once, quite frank- ly. *I like 'em loving!" Beatrice had looked at Marcia, entirely resnectable and fine and capable--and unwanted. And she had determined to unbend. But she never. could do it. And mean- while she was twenty. Beatrice cou'd remember Marcia's twentieth birthday, and of her own pride, at eleven, in the big sister who bad got such a wonderful jop with the finest architectural firm in the city. It seemed yesterday. "Marsh, when you were down at the drug store today, did you weigh?" ghe began to ask. every evening. "lI didn't have a penny, and neither did Miss Phelan." And then, days later: "Did you get weighed, Marsh?" "Yes, I did. But those scales are crazy, The man sald they " She tossed her red mane back, | and drew a great gasping breath, "But, good gracious, what sn awful thing it is whem you come right down to it!" she said, "Don't cateh your hair on fire," Mrs, St. John, who rarely said a necessary thing, warned her ab- sent-mindedly. Marcia, In the ped beyond the archway, awakened with a little moan. *"Bee--darling!" Beatrice was arranging her thick, copper-colored crop. It was just long enough to be ruffled back in two curly heavy bands over her ears, and tucked. under, with infinite spraying and sippling and rebellion, at the white nape of her meck, "Bee, I feel rotten, dear," Mar- ela looked flushed and dark, and there was an unhealthy glisten on her face. "The tea wasn't the right thing!" Bee exclaimed, at her bed- side. "No, it wasn't that, But--I feel so horribly weak," Marcia sald thickly; "and my heart's--beating so--" . So that was an end fo personal dreams for that afternoon, with Marcia. The doctor was entirely unalarmed and talked comfortably enough of blood pressure and slight localized anaemia and un- derwelght, Marcia was eleven pounds underweight, it appeared, and the first thing to do was to put on those pounds. Marcia; laughing and relieved, and a little inclined to flirt with the doctor, took her diet list and ed to eat like & wolf. She was al- ways hungry, anyway; there would be mo trouble about that. She went back to work on Mon- day--only drinking a pint of milk at eleven and at four. And Beat- rice went back to work Monday and found an opportunity to say quickly and without punetuation, but quite distinetly, to Houston Challoner, "I didn't ask Mother what you told me Mr. Challoner were." "You mean you haven't gain. "Oh, it fsn't that. But he sald they were crazy." "But you haven't gained?" "Not by them, I haven't. But it doesn't worry me, because I know they aren't adjusted." "It seems just ridiculous the fuss people make about weight nowadays." Mrs. St, John, play- ing a black ace, said dreamily. "I don't know as I ever weighed once, when I was young!" 4 Beatrice looked at her levelly, patiently. She did mot speak. "You certainly eat enough," sald the mother comfortably, "You eat more than Bee does!" "I don't eat any more than I used to," Marcia presently obser- ved, as if the point were unimpor- tant, Beatrice looked at her in turn thoughtfully, She knew this was untrue. Marcia was foreing herself to eat puddings and cream soups and cereals; she drank milk twice a day. And still the strange pallor continued and the oily, damp, dark look to her skin, She tired easily too; she often came home at about four o'clock and lay down. (Te be continued.)

"It must be remembered said one outfitter, "The prince is a law unto himself." No other man would have aise lecause I never go out to dinner or the courage to appear in public in such attire, nor would the Prince | himself do so at any formal fumc- tion. from New York to her native tows of Kosice in 1925. She had been a housekeeper in New York for 17 years and had saved $10,000. Her brother-in-law, Sikorski introduced her to Michalko, who was then playing an important role in post- war politics, The woman promised to marry Michalko a short time later, com- pletely unaware that he already had twice married and was under suspicion in connection with the death of his first wife. She pre- sented him with 20,000 crowns at one time and later gave him an- other 40,000 to buy furniture, At that time Miss Voeroehmarty began to suspect that she was the victim of a swindle and demanded that Michalko marry her, The man said he would and, as- sisted by Sikorski, led her to a room where Klepaar performed a bogus marriage. Within a short time the woman disappeared and her relatives were greatly worried until they received a letter from Paris, saying she was happily married and going to Am- erica. This later proved to be false and thethree men were arrested af- ter an investization. After severe questioning police started a thorough search of their quarters and found part of the body in a shallow grave. %GreatestM those dear #0 yous, you are the greatest man in the world . . . the wisest and the most far-sighted.
