1t may be remembered that a short
time ago some valuable admiralty
plans disappeared from Chatham. says
London Tit.Bits. Mr. McKenna. the
first lord of the admiralty, admitted
that they had been stolen. but a mys-
terry surrounded their disappearance.
1t Is now suggested that a well-known
international woman spy. who is ever
ready to sell her services to the high
est bidder, be it the Russian. German
or French government, was RESPONSE
BILE for the disappearance of those
plans. Ii is known that she was in
this country for some weeks prior TO
the incident and it is supposed that
during that time she engineered the
plot which resulted in the vanishing
of the important papers.
Whatever truth there may be in the
story it is a very feasible one, for il

successful spies. when it comes to

TO have entered into a love affair de

inducing him to divulge important
German naval secrets.

Among the means Of protecting fruit

A strange proposal has been made in
Germany with regard to the island Of
Heligoland. which, despite vast ex-
penditure, still continues to crumble
away. The proposal is-unless some
scheme of preserving it can be found
to blow up the entire island APP
p|arently the idea is, in the event of
war, Heligoland would need to be
very strongly defended, lest it should
be seized and used as IN advance base
of operations against Germany. The
trouble does not lie with the risk of
it's being seized so much as with the
srtain of having to defend it

A Comic Tragedy.

The people on Broadway, New York,
were startled one night recently by
hearing the screams of a child coming
apparently from a dress.suit ase
which a dark, smooth-shaven man was
carrying uptown. So piercing we're
the cries that the man was watched
with increasing suspicion, and in time
a crowd surrounded him and insisted
on his opening the bag. He kept his
lips tight shut. and continued to walk
up Broadway. clinging to his dress
suit case, from which the screams
apparently continued to come. Event
ually a constable put him under ar
rest, and hurriedly opened the bag.
He expected to find a baby doubled
up in it. but instead he found a grin
ming stone image called a manikin.
The prisoner proved to be a ventrilo-
quist engaged in a Broadway concert
hall, who had adopted this unique
method of cheap advertisement.
