"I'll swallow just so much," he informed the family, "and no more.

Tell that stulT to children. You can't bunk me all my life." The combination of tone, matter, inflexion, and incredulity contained in this statement gave rise to an unfortunate situation. Andrew was taken to another room along with a strap and his father. When they came out again, father was tho only one not crying. "Good bye," sniffed Andrew.

"I'm off." Everybody laughed and recited the Christmas menu in unison. That was the last seen of Andrew. His father asked the police of the Stagg st. station to circulate a description of the lad. It is believed that he has retired to thei home of a friend for consolation.

English playlet entitled AMERICAN LEGATION IN PEKING PROTESTS GEN. CHANG'S RETURN Paris.

Dec. 28 The legation has protested formally to the Peking government against the return to the capital of Gen. Chang Chlng-Yao, former military governor of the Province of Hunan, whose troops killed the Rev. W. A.

Reimert, an American missionary at Yo-Show In June, 1920. The legation reminded the Chinese Foreign Office that former demands for the punishment of Chang had brought no result and insisted that, now that be was in Peking, the Chinese Government was responsible for his detention, pending trial or other disposition of his case. The government la embarrassed by the new American demand, as Chang Ching-Yao is now one of the followers of Gen. Chang Tsao-Lin, Military Governor of Manchuria, who formed the new coalition cabinet and who is protecting him, thereby making his arrest by the civil authorities virtually impossible.

By GlY 1IICKOK. ((fluff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Paris," Dec. 29 -One effect of tho prohibition against the manufacture of arms In Germany has been to give French armament manufacturers a viitual monopoly of arming the con-' tinent of Europe.

The little $ialioiis want arms. Germany can't make them. But there Is no such restriction upon the stoel-niastt'i-s of France, with the result that a good deal of cheerful business is coining their way entirely protected from competing prices which the Germans might have offered except for the treaty. In addition to rebuilding the equipment of the French army In every branch of the service since the war. French munitions makers have been able to outfit the Polish army, at one time 600,000 strong; the Roumanian army of 500,000, the Jugoslav army of 300,000, part of the Czechoslovak urmy and part of the Turkish army In Asia Minor, with a few small scab" contracts for airplanes for Jtipuui anil South American countries.
