make that public. AS I say, am willing
to respectfully submit any suggestion to
an accredited representative Of the
United States government regarding a
way in which this matter may be fer
reted out. Once our hand is shown the
German government will effectuaily de-
stroy every bit of evidence which will
confirm what I say While it will be
difficult to prove from physical evidence
furnished by the papers themselves, that
the letter heads and envelopes were used
by FlorSchuetZ, because the papers are
in the secret archives in the war office
in Berlin. yet evidence can be secured
If it can be proved that between 1890 and
1894 Florschuetz was engaged in the pur-
chase of French war office merchandise
the presumption that he prostituted his
office will be strong. F1orschuetz handled
the German secret service money in this
matter. l can give dates and details re-
garding the handling of this money!

President Is Expected to Approve

WASHINGTON. Sept 6-There Is good
reason for believing that Attorney GEN
eral Griggs will report to the president
that the findings of the Carter court
martial are justified by the evidence, and
that he will recommend that the sentence
be approved. Undoubtedly the president
will follow Griggs' recommendation.
Both the department OF Justice and the
war department officials believe there will
not even be a mitigationof the imprison-
ment part of the sentence.
What is of still greater Importance Is
the fact that the delay In the case has
been not SO much for the purpose of veri-
flying the justice Of the findings Of the
court-martial, as to secure information
upon which to base the prosecution Of
other Offenders. Upon high authority 1t Is

occasion of her seventeenth birth

IN the dining room had been ar
rayed and decorated beautifully
with handsome flowers, ribbons
and flags, and tied to her chair
was a large bow of ribbon and
streamers with q card, wishing
you many happy returns of the
day. As she knew nothing be-
forehand of their preparations,
you can imagine her surprise as
she entered the dining room to be
greeted, loud clapping of hands
by every one in the dining room,
though she showed a little embar-
rassment upon the occasion, she
retained sufficient presence of
mind to acknowledged gracefully
with bow her appreciation of
the compliment. Later on, after
she was seated, at a given signal

length of the dining room, bear
ing to her table a cake covered
with seventeen burning candles,
