years old. are in the custody OF the
truant officers. charged with wholesale

They were found by Truant Officer

According to the police, the plan
followed by the girls was to visit the
homes Of persons they knew and,
whenever an opportunity presented IL

wearing apparel, money or anything
else of value that Law around loose.
Their preference was for clothing.

Among the homes visited In this
way was that or distant relative Of
one or the girls on Buchanan-st. The
relatives wife did not know them,
had never seen them before, in fact,
but. the girls introduced themselves
and proceeded To get acquainted.
Presently one of them asked for a

The police had a good description

K|PL|NG THE CAUSE
/. Of BAD WAR SCARE
NOVELIST ONE OF PARTY OF
RAILWAY SURVEYORS TAKEN
FOR WICKED GERMAN SPIES.

LONDON, Aug. 9.--England's blood
has been running cold lately by rea'
son of sensational stories about Ger.
man spies swarming on the east
coast, taking copious notes and max.
ing plans and sketches of the country
for the purposes of a future invasion.
Circumstanual stories have been
printed describing how mysterious
Germans were living next door TO ev-
cry postoffice on the east coast, and
it was actually declared that a party
of German officers were executing a
"staff ride" in Epping Forest-the ap-
proach to London from the northeast.
When questions were asked in par
lament about these. alarming stories,
War Secretary Haldane resolutely de-
clined to take them seriously
A perfectly innocent explanation
has now been made regarding one
phase OF this espionage scare. The
chief constable of Lincolnshire stated
at a meeting of the local authorities
that he had obtained information
about the supposed spies, and the
only thing he learned that might have
given rise to speculation was that a
number of gentlemen were making
Investigations in connection with a
proposed railway.
This party consisted OF Rudyard
Kipling and several friends, who had
come into Lincolnshire to inspect the
land through which the proposed rail
way might run. The chief constable
added that he had found no indication
that the east coast had been visited
by German officers Of the staff or 9th
erwise.
Rudyard Kipling. accompanied by
his wife and daughter, have just re-
turned from a winter spent In South
Africa. The poet is in excellent
health and shows no signs OF advanc-
ing age despite the fact that he is
working at a harder pace than ever.
Owing to the annoyance caused by
tourists Mr.. Kipling has removed
from rockingham near Brighton and
is now living In secluded and charm
ing place near Tunbridge Wells. well
off the tourists route.
During recent years Mr.. Kipling
has developed into serious and ac-
tive propaganda of Imperialism, and

WASHINGTON, Aug. Honduras
has declined TO comply with the
wishes of the American government
by revoking the decree issued by
President Davila canceling the ex-
equaturs OF American Consul Drew
Linard and Vice Consul Virgil c.

they had interfered in the internal
politics of Honduras and that with
the vice consuls OF France anc Nor
way they advised the surrender of
Ceiba to the revolutionists.
The action OF Honduras Is a sur
prise TO the state department. as II
was confidently hoped that President
Davila would revoke the decree as an
act OF courtesy. II for no other reason,
so that the consular officers would be
free TO continue in the discharge of

The market was advanced without

due partly to the fact that the public
had begun to buy stocks, but very
largely to the fact that professionals
propose to have bull market regard
less OF consequences.
This attitude of the professionals
is due largely to a growing realization
that the wheat crop this year may be

out of danger. Only an average crop
has been figured on heretofore.
A bumper crop Is expected TO start

present the boom Is largely manufac-
