In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. celing station, where they were automatically joined together again, so as to form the message as originally sent, if, for example, it was desired to send from Hoboken to Washington the message, "Transport Leviathan June 2%". it was proposed to make use of two lines, one running, let us say, through Harrisburg, the other via Wilmington. The message sent over the Harrisburg wire would be broken up something after this fashion: "t-a-o-t-e-l-t-s-i-s-u-e-n-y-i-t". While the portion going by way of Wilmington would read: "r-n-p-r-l-v-a-h-n-a-l-j-n-t-e-f-f-h". "To create still further confusion" in the mind of anyone who might succeed in intercepting one of these sets of fragments it was proposed to superimpose a 'canouflage' message upon the disconnected letters, the characters of the canouflage message to occupy the spaces between the characters of the real message. By an exceedingly ingenious device these apparently inextricably intermixed and unrelated letters were automatically sorted out at the receiving station and placed together, like a jigsaw puzzle, so that the message appeared precisely as it was sent. "Going a step further, the inventors of this system proposed by the same means to install a system of telephone communication whereby the spoken words would be broken up just as the Morse characters were divided, certain sounds in each word going over one wire and the remaining sounds over another, to be joined together at the receiving station into a perfectly intelligible conversation. "Here again a wholly separate and extraneous conversation was superimposed over the sounds proceeding by each route, so that were either of the lines tapped the listener-in would be rewarded for his pains by hearing a torrent of sound which would convince him that he was listening to a combination of Choctaw, Chinese, the ravings of John McCullough, and the symptoms of a severe cold. Notwithstanding the undenable ingenuity of this system, the signal corps experts demonstrated, to the unconcealed astonishment of the inventors, that they could overhear and understand these crazy-built conversations as readily as though they were being held across a dinner table in plain English." Products of American Ingenuity. Products of American Ingenuity. The successful device (which may, of course, use none of the principles introduced in the system just outlined) is one of three powerful by Yankee ingenuity from the war with Germany. Powell regards as "the most important discoveries, so far as their effect on the peaceful interests of the nation are concerned, which have been produced since Morse invented the telephone and Marconi amazed us with the wireless." One of them is the radiotelephone, by means of which persons on the ground can converse with aviators; and the other is the discovery of Chief Signal Officer Squire that growing trees can be used as sending and receiving posts for radio messages. Major Powell's book is devoted in the main to the man with the silver chevrons. He wrote the request of Secretary Baker and was waiting in the service to complete it. Readers may be sure, therefore that he had access to all necessary records; but there are moments when the heavy hand of a department head becomes apparent. In spite of that, he writes as one "on the inside." He tells of the 18 telephone and telegraph battalions recruited in large measure from the ranks of the two great telephone companies in this country (which may explain why it has been so hard to get "central"). These he calls "the ears of the army," but at times they also were its spies. He tells of the engineers, the gasmakers, the quartermaster and ordinance departments, the aviators, the tank corps, the motor transport corps, the medical department and intelligence. He says, incidentally, that the one spy was shot here during the war. It is Major Powell's contention that the motor transport had its beginning when Pershing went into Mexico after Villa; and at one place he throws this interesting sidelight on the submarine raids along the Atlantic coast: America's moving fortresses. "And, apropos of rolling stock, here is a bit of secret history hitherto unpublished." When Willa hitherto raiders were threatening to destroy the railway lines paralleling the Mexican border the engineering corps designed and built a number of self-propelling cars that were armed with three-track riles, machines and searchlights. When the German submarines began their piratical operations along the Atlantic seaboard in the spring of 1918 these moving fortresses were secretly rushed up from the Rio Grande in order to afford protection to the undefended Jersey coast towns. It was well for the U-boat commanders that they did not attempt to shell Long Branch and Atlantic City as they shelled Scarborough and Broadstairs. If they had the engineers and their armored cars would have given them the surprise of their lives." America's effort in felling forests in France, building railroads there, producing superpollution gas and so on is more than a twice-told tale. Major Powell tells it with an interest as fresh as though he approached it for the first time, and frequently produces facts not hitherto known. This article is not an attempt to summarize all the new things he has had to say; it is, on the contrary, a poor foreshore. VOL. 35. NO. 4 SPIES OLD AND NEW IN WARTIME Technique of Detection Explained by Major Powell. METHODS ARE MUCH CHANGED Development of Secret Code Devices Renders This Country Well Nigh Invaluable in Event of Our Ever Becoming Involved in Another War—Haas System of Code Transmission Which Can Defy All Experts in the World. When Mine, Marle K. de Victorica, daughter of the Prussian general to whom Marshal Bazaline handed his sword in 1870 at the surrender of Metz, set out from the Wilhelmstrasse to conduct an espionage campaign in America during the recent war, two silk muffers were an important part of her equipment. Of her equipment, not of her wardrobe! For the muffers were impregnated with a secret ink chemical, so that when she saturated them in water and wrung them out she obtained the needed "invisible" fluid for her code messages to Germany. By displacing in vinegar inline tablets manufactured by British chemists, secret agents in Berlin set up the necessary reaction to make the writing visible. Mune, de Victorica, you perceive, an old-fashioned spy, a product and tool of old-world diplomacy and duplicity, the New York Times explains. So-called invisible ink is one of the oldest tricks of the trade. A close mouth is one of the personal requirements, too, and however well the madame may have been provided with silk muffers, she was wooftely deficient in vocal muffers. She talked too much, and in consequence of her indiscreet boasting on the steamship which bore her to this country a watch was set on her which baked most of her spying and ultimately brought arrest. Tricks of the Modern Spy. The modern spy, as evolved from the world war, differed as widely from Mme. de Victorica and her secret ink as the Woolworth-building differs from the Pyramids, to which time secret ink probably belongs. He used a code, to be sure, but it was the kind of code which would have robbed Edgar Alan Pole of a pictureque part of his reputation had it been in use in his day, for it was transmitted, not by ink but by electricity, and it was so ingenious that even the operator sending the message could not possibly declipher it. That statement is made on the authority of Maj. E. Alexander Powell, who is entitled to write an imposing string of letters after his name, but who uses his military title in signing his latest book, "The Army Behind the Army," about to be published by Charles Scribner's Sons. He takes a casual and somewhat contemptuous glance at Mme. de Victorica and her ink, for he is much more interested in the unassuming and undisguised modern detective spy, partly because when he entered the war he was one of the four officers in the military intelligence division (the army secret service) and he cheats the censorship to the extent of telling some new facts about its work. Mme. De Victorica, it may be said in passing, was a kinswoman of the kalsern, and had received a high education in German universities. She spoke four languages, had worked as a German spy and propagandist in South America and other countries and had been thrice married. Her last husband was a South American, who died suddenly soon after the marriage. Her first husband was Prof. Otto Eckmann of Heidelberg university. Her former title was the Baroness Maria Kretschmann, a marie of the alliances, among them Mile. Marie de Vessière, and Frau Maria Kretschmann. Secret Code Devices. Perhaps no revelation Major Powell makes is more interesting than that about the secret 'code devices. "I am not permitting myself to indulge in the slightest exaggeration," he writes, "when I assert that these devices place in the hands of the United States weapons which would render this country wellhigh invulnerable in the event of our ever becoming involved in another war." And later he adds that "as universal peace is not yet in sight, even with the aid of a telescope, and as this invention would prove of incalculable benefit to the United States in the event of our becoming again involved in war, it is obviously out of the question to discuss the principle on which it is based, much less the details of its construction and operation. It is enough to say that this nation is the successor of a system of code transmission experts in the world, a message sent by its means being absolutely undecipherable by the inventor himself. Possibly there is a clue to the secret in Major Powell's description of another invention, unsuccessfully tried out before the successful device was found by the American Telephone and Telegraph company. He says: Confusing the Enemy. "Another system had as its basic principle the breaking up of the groups of Morse dots and dashes which represented the letters of the message, and routing these mangled fragments over widely separated wires to the re Utilizing the Telephone. "The Ears of the Army." America's Moving Fortresses Minnesota Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY WORK FOR D.SABLED Technical Agriculture Offers Thousands of Positions. Berve as Stepping Stones to Higher Promotions and Better Compensation. Washington.—Technical agriculture offers thousands of positions as associates, assistants, helpers, extension workers and county agents, and this work is particularly suitable for retrained, disabled men, according to a statement issued by the federal board for vocational education. These positions serve as stepping stones to higher promotions and better compensation soon in the agricultural college, experiment stations, agricultural extension service and in state agricultural movements. These institutions and employments lost thousands of men from their student bodies, their faculty and their staffs. Hundreds of men formerly agricultural extension workers and agricultural county agents will never return to those occupations. These places were temporarily filled by unprepared substitutes who will be replaced by trained men as rapidly as possible. The experience abroad, wherein opportunity was given to study the intensive and scientific agriculture of France and other countries, has greatly stimulated interest in these lines, and men with a background of agriculture experience are manifesting keen interest in training for the lines mentioned. Many who, by reason of their disabilities, are compelled to equip themselves in other lines, and preferably for out-ofdoor occupations, are also manifesting a keen desire to take up the specialized branches of agriculture in the training offered by the federal board. United States Marines Lost 5,199 of 8,000 Washington.—Of the 8,000 officers and men composing the marine brigade when it went into fighting near Chateau Thierry last July 5 to stop the German thrust at Paris, 128 officers and 5,073 men either were killed or wounded. The marines took Lucy-Le-Boege, cleaned up Belleau wood and finally captured Bouresches. In disclosing these casualties Major General Barnett, commandant of the marine corps, said published statements from army officers that the marines were not in the fighting at Chateau Thierry, were misleading. The marines, he said, were not actually in the town itself, but in the action known officially as the battle of Chateau Thierry. 278 ARE,DETHRONED BY WAR Bavaria Leads, With Prusia's Thirty-Three Royalties in Exile Second in List. Berlin.—A German professor figures that the abdications and dethroments in Germany include 278 persons. Bavaria leads with one king, one queen, 15 princes, 16 princesses, five dukes and one duchess. Prussia has sent 33 royalties into exile, including the emperor, empress, 20 princes and 11 princesses. Brunswick is at the bottom of the list, with only the ducal couple and their three children. The two tiny principalities of Reuss, whose areas is hardly one three-hundredth of that of Prussia, have exiled 38 royalties. The principality of Lippe, only about 20 square miles larger than the Reuss states, had a royal family numbering 24 persons. Most extraordinary is the case of Schaumburg-Lippe, with its area of 130 square miles, where there was nearly one royal personage for every five square miles. These included the reigning prince, 17 princes and seven princesses. SAYS FOE ROBBED PRISONERS Steamship Captain Asserts Many Parcel Post Package "Went Astraf." Sydney, Australia—Charges that Germans who handled Red Cross parcels for Australian soldiers in prison camps robbed the prisoners are made by Capt. Alexander Donaldson of the steamship Matunga. He was captured when the Matunga was taken by the German rider Wolf and was sent to a prison camp in the Hartz mountains. "The officer in charge of the camp was an old rogue." said Captain Donaldson. "He seemed to make a business of robbing us of our Red Cross parcels. About 40 per cent of them went astray before the armistice and about 80 per cent after it, owing to disorganization in Germany. The Fritz" who the Job of driving from the station to the camp with our parcels had a habit of dropping a lot of them off at his shop on the way up." Finds Pot of Gold. Virginia, III.—John Severn is showing his friends a pot of gold which fell at his feet out of a foundation near Chanderrille. Severn bought the old Robert Morgan estate north of Chanderrille recently. He was sounding the stone underplanking of the house, built before the Civil war, recently. He dislodged an ancient kettle and it contained 140 $20 gold pieces. Defective Page U. S. IMPORTERS ARE WAXING FAT Slump in Money Value Brings Big Profits. ALL EUROPE IS AFFECTED American Changes His Good U. S. Money Into British, French or Italian Currency. Then Buys Goods Which He Ships to the United States, Where, Because of Inflation of American Dollar, He Reaps Big Profit. American importers now purchasing goods in England, France and Italy for shipment to the United States, are waxing fat as a result of the depreciation of the pound sterling, the franc and lira, according to stories now going the rounds of the New York wholesale district. The only "fly in the ointment" for the American buyers abroad is the fact that, by a presidential order several weeks ago, United States consuls are required to keep tab on big purchases, ascertain the selling price and cable these facts to the United States customs authorities. Then, by figuring the rate of exchange on the date of purchase, the government is enabled to set a proper value upon the goods for the collection of import duties. A court of claims passes upon what are alleged to be unfair appraisals. How it Is Done. The situation is said to be somewhat like this: An American buying pound sterling say, on December 12, needed to pay in American money only $3.80 for British currency normally worth about $4.87. Now he goes to a factory in Nottingham, England, to buy laces, and there, although prices of course are higher than before the war, he pays for them in this depreciated money and makes a "handsome" profit. Then he ships the laces to the United States, where by reason of the inflation of the American dollar, they are retained for from 100 to 150 per cent above prewar prices. The same importer, on the same date, we will say, goes to France. In Paris he has exchanged his American dollars for francs. Normally there are 5.18% francs to the dollar, but now he finds one Panzer "simulon" will buy 11.52 francs, about 60 per cent more than before the war. The price of stilks has gone up, but he goes to Lyons, and there, with his depreciated French money, he buys more than he ever bought before at "margin" The silks reach New York, where they are sold to the consumer at double their former price. Next this importer visits, where, here the lira, 5.18% of which, like the franc, could be bought for one American dollar, now at a vast discount. In fact, he receives 13.47 lira for one American dollar, and well financed, he goes to Naples, where he negotiates the purchase of tapestries costing, of course, more than in 1914, but in reality cheaper when purchased with the present Italian currency. The same financial conditions exist all over Europe, and in the former central empires, of course, they are reported much worse. In the allied countries, however, where there is national stability and greater ability to pay, the depreciated money is effecting some strange changes. A dinner which, before the war, in Paris could be had for a nominal sum, now costs from 20 to 50 francs. American manufacturers, meanwhile, who desire to sell their products abroad, are demanding payment in American dollars at par. Recently the Belgian government, it is said, bought 20 American locomotives, for which payment, instead of being in Belgian money, was demanded in American dollars, thus adding from 15 to 20 percent to the manufacturer's normal profit. Naturally this discourages foreign buying. Cancels Big Orders. On the other hand, a big American locomotive concern, apprehensive of the turn of political affairs abroad, due to delay over the peace treaty, is reported practically to have canceled all foreign advance orders. Such orders, calling for delivery in three six-month amounts, are said to be practically the same in the locomotive trade. Similar conditions exist in other industries. That is why American manufacturers have been saying: "If the peace treaty is not soon signed it will mean the complete loss of our foreign trade." There are committees of the most prominent United States bankers and business men, representing the American Bankers' association, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the international trade conference, who have been at work on this problem of foreign exchange for months, and who will be ready to remedy the present situation as soon as the peace treaty becomes a fact for the American nation. Gets Back $20 Lost Years Ago. Mrs. Edward Joslin of Lafayette, Ind, has received $20 from Rev. Florian Bride, pastor of St. Benedict's Roman Catholic church in that city, to repiece a similar amount which she received years ago. The priest told her that the bank had been told by some person who recently became remorseful and confessed to the priest that she had kept the money from the corner. How It Is Done. Ate $40 in Explosive and Left Her Owner to Collect From Government. The cow that burned up Chicago, the cow that jumped over the moon, the cow that raised the fatted calf and the cow that died on the tune—they will have to recognize an addition to their celebrated quartet now. She's the cow that ate up $00 worth of government, dynamite out in Willard, Wash., and made the wheels of congress go around until her owner got $00. The house paused in its consideration of weightier subjects long enough to pass the necessary bill. Contributory negligence on the part of the government road builders who left the sticks of dynamite where Bossy could eat them the verdict. Strongly enough, it didn't blow up the cow; it only poisoned her, but it didn't blow up the house of representatives. The house evidently enjoyed its little excursion into the field of humor and switched from cows to false teeth. It passed a bill to Michael Garvey $35 for a set he lost while working at the quartermaster's depot, Governor's island, last July. The government compensation commission had refused his claim, but the house was in a compassionate mood and thought otherwise. MARRIED IN MORGUE Couple Begin Honeymoon by Viewing the Dead. Marriage in a morgue—with numerous dead on marble slabs in the next room! That is the longest stunt that has hit Denver, Colo. For William Sumper Reaves, a recently returned soldier, and Miss Eva Pearl Adams were married in Olinger's mortuary by the Olinger chapel, Rev. G. A. Barth. The bride's brother, J. Fred Adams, who is night clerk at the Brown hotel, was best man. According to J. Fred Adams, the bridal party, immediately following the wedding ceremony, began their honeymony by a stroll through the morgue, in the adjoining room, and took a look at the bodies awaiting burial. The bride and bridegroom then departed for a home they have furnished at 2733 West Ellsworth avenue, in Barnum. The idea of being married in a mortuary, with only a thin door separating the living from the dead, is not one that appeals to most persons, but according to Rev. Mr. Barth the wedding at Olinger's is not the first marriage that has taken place there, although one has not been performed on the premises for a considerable time. FIVE DOLLARS A QUART Modest Price Fixed for Whale Milk by Captain Loop. Five dollars a quart—not a cent less—would be the price he would ask for whale's milk if he established a whale dairy, according to Capt. John B. Loop, a sea mammal expert of Long Beach, near Los Angeles, Cal., who recently returned from a whale hunt in Mexican Pacific waters. Captain Loop has not determined, however, to establish a whale dairy; he merely made that announcement because Arthur de Ell of 807 North Eighteenth street, Omaha, Neb, who had heard of the seaman's knowledge of whales and of a small cargo of the lactic fluid of levandrins that he recently brought to southern California, sent a request "reserving" a sample of the milk. Captain Loop said he would send a sample to Mr. de Ell. He permitted members of the B. P. O. Elks to sample the whale milk he took to Long Beach. They declared it richer and more palatable than that of cows. The captain, who has contributed much interesting information to the general knowledge of whales, says the first thing to do in order to obtain the milk of one is to catch the whale. He has not made public how he does it. BURGLAR SENDS BACK $100 Return Money Order and Rail Tickets With "Regrets." The burglar who has been visiting homes in Rutherford, N. J., recently sent back by mail to Mrs. John N. Hickok, one of his victims, a money order for $100 and a ten-trip railroad ticket. In the envelope with the returned plunder was a slip of paper bearing the word "regrets." The letter was mailed in Rutherford, Mrs. Hickok's home was entered last Thursday evening. Five similar burglaries were reported to the police during the week. In no other instance, apparently, did the thief find himself burdened with unnegotifiable valuables. Field Mice Killed 2,000 Acre Trees. Grilled by field mice, more than 2,000 orange trees on a ranch near Orville, Cal., are dying. This recorded a record for the ravages of these rodents, it is said.

FIRST GAS MASK WAS DESIGNED BY WOMAN Invention Used in War Was Planned by Mrs. J. B. Garner of Pittsburgh. It is claimed that the first gas mask based upon the use of charcoal for the absorption of highly poisonous gases from the atmosphere, the principle which in actual practice was so valuable to the armies in the world war, was made by the late Mrs. J. B. Garner of Pittsburgh, Pa. This statement is made at the Mellon Institute of Research at Pittsburgh. Mrs. Garner, wife of the director of research of an important natural gas company there, became interested in the experiments her husband was conducting with the gases which at that time, early in 1915, had appeared on the battlefield of Europe. When the principle was once established, the institute declared, Mrs. Garner designed and made gas masks of the canister type, and in June, 1915, they were handed over to the representatives in America of the British government. They were sent to England, and from this first design other gas masks were made. When the United States entered the war, full details of the experimental work and all apparatus that had been employed were supplied to the government. Mrs. Garner, whose husband is a fellow of the Mellon Institute of Research, died a year ago. OWL NO BEDFELLOW Parrot Ran Away When Owner Wanted Him to Sleep With It. Eustace, a South American parrot, ran away from his home in Hayward, Cal., because his owner wanted him to sleep with a tame owl. He tied up a street car, scared a crew out of seven years' optimism and aroused a block of residents before his spirit of adventure died out and he could be induced to go home. Eustace belongs to Martin Mervin, a musician. Mervin was given a tame owl. All birds look alike to him, and he bedded the owl in the parrot's cage. The parrot chattered his objections but the owl stared at him in adenoid reproach and calmly went to sleep on his side of the perch, which swings in a summer house. Whereupon Eustace made his own plans. At ten o'clock a car crew was reversing a trolley for a return trip to Oakland, when they heard wild shrieks and yells from under the wheels. "Great heavens!" shouted the conductor. "We've run over a child or a woman." The conductor ran from house to house arousing citizens to get help. Automobile parties halted. Finally one autist turned his spotlight under the car. There, perched on a truss rod was Eustace, engaged in leaving home and shrieking his derision of owls, owners and the world in general. Mervin, who was among those awakened, finally dragged his parrot under the car by his gaudy tail feathers and gave him an owless perch, and the night turned quiet again. Eustache appeared at reville serenely content. WOLVES IN BARNYARD Two of the Timber Variety Killed in Such a Place. Two timber wolves were killed on the farm of John, Zerr at St. Peters, Mo., four miles north of St. Charles, Zerr and Frank Wiechens, a farmer, were standing in the barnyard on the Zerr farm, when they saw a wolf run out of a timber lot near the barn and kill several chickens. Wiechens had a gun and killed the wolf as it was crossing the lot. As there had been evidence of a number of wolves in the vicinity, Zerr and Wiechens went to St. Peters to organize a posse. While there they received word from Mrs. Zerr that another wolf was in the barnyard. Compared by several men they went back and Zerr shot the wolf, making a total of seven killed in that neighborhood in the past month. WAR MATERIALS SOLD United States Liquidation Commission Has Completed Its Work. The United States liquidation commission, which had charge of the sale of America's war material in England, France, Belgium, Italy and Germany, has completed its task and has returned to the United States, though similar commissions of other allied countries have not yet been able to make an inventory. Edwin B. Parker, chairman of the commission, stated that upon landing in New York that the commission realized $700,000,000 through the sale of war material, and cleaned up claims due and against the United States for as much more. Much of the material, Mr. Parker said, was junk, and was more of a liability than an asset. He observes that the material would have brought less in America than in Europe.

KEEPS BIG MEN WAITING Described as Man Who Never Eats and Takes Telephone to Bed With Him—No Time to See Former President of the Republic, He Sends Him to M. Clemenceau—Deputies Tell Stories of How Cabinet Chief Does Business. It seems to be the fashion in France, nowadays, to dispute the origin of masterpieces, and lately the columns of the leading papers have been animated with letters from wise men on the subject of the authenticity of Mollere's plays. Some claim that certain of the works of France's greatest playwright and actress from the hand of Corneille. The next question in order would be to obtain the Corneille's plays" Without going into the intricacies of a literary discussion, which in the present crisis might be deemed beside the mark, it is perhaps permissible to inquire if the political accomplishments of M. Clemenceau are really to be credited to his genius or if they are inspired by another brain than his, for instance, that of St. Mandel, writes Julian Harris in the New York Herald. A few months ago one of the most influential of the deputies went to recommend one of his electors to the head of Mr. Clemenceau's cabinet. Mr. Mandel, who since his election as deputy has been succeeded by Mr. Wormer, received him in his office, now a historic spot, seated before a small desk, no less historic, the sole ornament of which is a standard telephone. Almost before the deputy could make known the object of his visit, Mr. Mandel took charge of the conversation, and out of the depths of his collar, in his well-known manner, began to unfold the ideas of the government on the question of the order of the day at the Palais-Bourbon. Keeps Former President Waiting. In the midst of his remarks a messenger came in and handed the eminent chief of Clemenceau's personal cabinet the card of a visitor. Annoyed at the interruption, Mr. Mandel with a weary gesture inquired, "What does this person want?" Before the messenger could hazard a reply the card was returned to him with the following instructions:—"I have no time for him. Take this card to M. Clemenceau, president of the council." The messenger bowed and withdrew and Mr. Mandel continued his monologue. But in a few moments the messenger returned with the news that the caller insisted upon seeing the chief of the personal cabinet himself. The latter shrugged his shoulders as he replied: "Let him walt." Upon which he again took up the thread of his discourse. The deputy listened, approved, and finally recommended his elector, as he withdrew from the chief's presence. On his way out he noticed in the small waiting room, seated near the door of Mr. Mandel's office. M. Emile Loubet, former president of the French republic, patiently waiting the pleasure of the chief of cabinet. In the meantime another deputy, equally influential, was ushered into Mr. Mandel's office. The latter harangued him as he had done his fellow member, and the messenger again interrupted, this time with a letter. "With your permission," said the chief of cabinet, as he broke the seal and read the missive. Then turning to the messenger, "Tell him that I have not a moment to spare, and hand him this from me." And he gave the man this letter, out of one of the drawers of the desk desk. Meier Steps, Fate on Drink. A few moments later the deputy noticed in the room a little old man who was offering some cigars from the box which had been sent him to the employees of the office. As he did so he kept repeating to the messenger, "Tell monstere that he is very kind, very kind indeed. "Who is that man?" asked the deputy when the little old man had gone his way. The imperturbable messenger replied, "That is Mr. Rothschild, Mr. Mandel's father." A third deputy, as influential as the other two, one day was present at the following dialogue in the office of the chief of cabinet: Messenger—The president of the council and General Mordaq are about to go out. They would like to know if Monsieur has anything to say to them. Mr. Mandel (after an instant's反射)—No, I gave them my instructions this morning. The astonished deputy glanced at Mr. Mandel, but the latter looked quite as usual, serious and unsmilling. A fourth deputy offers the following psychological sketch of Mr. Mandel: "He is a man who never sleeps, who never eats, who never drinks, who writes nothing, who has no interest in women, and who takes a telephone to bed with him."
