4 Fatal Omission.

The Philadelphia Ledger has dis
covered remarkable April Fool
story printed in the Berlin Tageblatt.
All Germany and Austria was taken
in, it seems So much the worse for
Germany and Austria
A mere bagateIIe Of $268, 000, 900 had
been secretly stolen from our treas
ury. To accomplish this the thieves
dug tunnel to the Potomac and
then transported these few tons Of
gold ard silver to the ocean by
means of submarine boats. The ma
ton was not bankrupt, OF course, be-
cause these pielIpoeSets had taken it's
pin money; but it was very unpleas-
antly en- barrassed-
Unhappily fer American enjoyment
OF the joke there are insuperable OBJ
stacles in the way OF such a theft.
Germans might have stolen the mon
ey, to be sure. Submarine boats
might have worncd their way along
the bottom of the Potomac. But the
ingenuity does not exist which could
tunnel the Businesses of Foggy Bot
tom
For the burghers of the District of
Columbia have devised so effective a
scheme Of water defense that when
ever the city stroEgholds are in dan
ger they can convert the main thor
oughfare of the city into a moat.
Every spring this protection is test
ed, and when the broad asphalt plaza
is filed with water, the poets and
peasants male hlerry, and the gentry
hold high carnval-driYing chariots
into the waves and splashing the
foam high, or rowing across the moat
In barges gayly decorated. 1t is q
brilliant sceize and one which Wis
itors to the American Capital in the
spring can never forget.
This hoax of the Berlin Tageblatt,
filtered for our understanding by the
Philadelphia Ledger, is all right as
