"German Invasion" Hobby Causes
People to Suspect Protestations
Of Desire for Peace.

London. William of Ger.
many, the guest Of King Edward,
made a speech Wednesday at the
Guild hall, where he was entertained
by the city of London. He urged the
strengthening Of the Anglo-German re-
lations and emphasized his unaltera-
BILE desire to foster the peace OF the
world.
The day passed OF without the ex-
pected Socialist demonstration, much
less any disorder or rioting.
The reception accorded Emperor
William by the people of London has
been respectful. but compared to that
given some other royal visitors Of re-
cent years, 1t was in no sense enthusi-
astic.
The atmosphere which has prevailed
during his appearance in public has
been tinged with decided GOODNESS, and
there is no doubt that the English Of
ficials are relieved that the passage of
the German emperor through the
streets of this city was attended by
no disagreeable incidents.
A large section, If not majority OF
English people, persists in believing
Germany to be Great Britain's one
enemy among the nations and this
enmity has been famed recently by
continuous warnings from some Of the
leading newspapers and reviews, as
well as from military experts, that
Germany's chief naval and military
activity is directed toward schemes
for the invasion of England-that Ger
many plans to surprise England some
day when she is fully prepared to
strike suddenly, Just as Japan sur
prised Russia.
"The German invasion" is becoming
a hobby of the anti-Germans and a
subject of ridicule for pro-Germans;
the idea has, however, unquestionably
affected the mind of the public and 1t

Moreover, the belief is growing that
Crocker's alleged surety bond to the
Modern Woodmen of America to pro-
tect $250,000 of its funds loaned to
him. was forgery In part at least.
The first report of the receiver OF
the defunct bank has not been made
public in Charlton as yet, but 1t Is In
possession Of the controller OF the
currency at Washington. who made
known the above important facts in
letter to depositors says 1t is i'm
possible now to determine how much
the depositors will receive but adds
that the depositors will not be paid
in full and that their loss will be very
heavy.
For some days there have been ru-
mors that the bond furnished to the
Modern Woodmen Of America to Sc
cure the $350,000 loaned to Croker
is OF doubtful character. Head
Banker McNider OF Mason City has
the instrument In his possession, but
he has thus far refused to make pub
lie the names OF the signers Some
OF the men who are accredited with
signing the bond declare that their
signatures are not genuine; still
others declare that though they were
on Crocker's bond during his term of
head banker, they did not stand sure
ty for his subsequent relationship
with the Modern Woodmen. A few
have seen tie instrument in Head
Banker McNider's possession, and they
also cast doubt upon its character.
In any event enough is known to
Justify the statement that there will
be fight in the courts II the Wood
men undertake to collect from the al

Much interest is taken here in the
news that Mrs Mallory and the Thay-
