They will stay at the bottom until the time to come to

"Now look at that Panama Canal; the French have

they have secured the ownership OF nearly the whole OF

tell you these French are everywhere, and they know

in fact every nation is the alert except ours.
Why, during the Franco Prussan every one OF
naval vessels had German officer board In the
disguise OF a common sailor. Every now and then
seaman would be met with who displayed
extraordinary intelligence at times and he would be
found to be German Swedc. He performed his
duties sedma but he haa others that he performed
