one wild rumor laid away than anoth-

story of a big German liner filled
with troops, which it was alleged
had entered the Humber, surveyed
the possibilities of making a landing,
and departed without being sighted
by the British warships with which
the North sea is supposed to be
closely dotted, while today Sir John
Barlow. a Liberal member of the
house of commons and a well known
merchant. startled the country With
the sensational suggestion that the
Germans have established a depot of
arms containing 10000 Mauser rifles
in the center of London togcthe-
with 800 rounds Of ammunition for
the use of $4,000 trained German
soldiers now employed in various ca
pacitios in England. As an evidence
that Sir John attached some credency
to this remarkable story he has ad-
