Mr.. Clarence F. Buhler contributes very elabo-
rats one to the New York Evening Mall, which
brings out some minor points very accurately,
and the main theories Of which are that Mr..
Datchery the detective is Bazzard, the clerk OF
Grewglous in disguise; and that Mr.. Tartar, who
begins to make favorable impression upon
Ross's hears inst before the interruption Of the

played In South Germany, While the popularity OF
the black, red, and gold banners corresponding

was black and gold. After the events Of 1916
the Democratic youths of Germany adopted the
black, red and gold colors to be the symbol Of
snted Germany. The Princes and the Diet sup
yressed 1t, but In 1913 the Democrats revived it,
Ind In 1865 the South German Princes opposed to
ihe supremacy Of Prussia again adopted 1t. The old
:olors OF Prussia were black and white, but alter
its success OF 1866 it added red. The meaning OF
