the declaration that ne did not believe
there was another American present
who could do Il. Young washburn had
said nothing until now. but he broke
in and declared: Il can do II and | will
give you the ylee-presidents." He was
about 10 begin. when a second thought
struck him and he said; while am
about Il might as well give you the
secretaries Of state. too" The Germans
got down a book giving the names and
kept tabs on the young man as he cor

were pretty well backed down already

them on so easily. Nov. should like
