condition is due to its having been used
To- fsrm the cross.
Tho mistletoe Is much employed in tolK
medicine, A piece of the plant hung
around tho neck is used as a safeguard

THE mysterious origin and SURROUNDINGS
OF the mistetoe have Invested it with

The departments of war and navy ara
both fully alive to the Importance of
making preparations for hostilltes. The
navel bureau of information has ascer-
tained that for more than ten years Eng
land has been steadily preparing for war
against the United States. The fleets of
vessels that would be ordered to attack
our coasts have already been designated
and tho officers have been assigned to
them. The English have plans and mans
showing every waterway along our coast
every route by which this government
would send reinforcements and supplies
to its fleets on the Atlantic seaboard is
known to tho English naval officers. The
English government has maintained a
complete system of espionage over this
country for years, in anticipation Of an
other war with the Americans. Her of
nceis' her civilians, In the gulse of visi-
tors while enjoying the hospitality of
our people have been intent only In play
ing the spy and in obtaining Information
which would be to the advantage of
Eneland in conducting war against
this people.
The United States has procured some
Information as TO the English means of
defense, hut 1t must he admitted that
the authorities of the government have
not In their possession as accurate and
as complete maps and plans of our own
coast, Its places of strength and Of weak
ness, as tho English have obtained
through their spies. II is realized that
their prompt action must be taken to
correct, as far as practicable, our de-
lenses In the matter of military informa-
ton. To this end, boards or commissions
composed of army and naval officers
will be appointed TO energctically pre-
pare plans for defense.
