Though it is admitted that the ques

BOND SWINDLE GROWS.
Inquiry Into That of Belgian Rail-

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.


PARIS, November 4, 1912
As the inquiry into the Belgian rail-
way bond frauds proceeds further evil
dence is afforded of the immense IA amitica-
tons of the swindle.
At Antwerp, as the result of the i'm
quiry. a further seizure of forged bonds
having a face value of over $4,000 was
made.
The magistrate in charge of the case
has esta blished the fact that 60 900 of
these false bonds of the Ghent-Ter-
neuzen railway We're printed in Brus-
sells. Fourteen thousand have been
seized in Brussels alone. At Charleroi
1900 have been discovered. and other
towns appear to have been victimized
in proportion.
1t is believed that Nestor Wilmart.
managing director of the Ghent-Ter-
neuZen railway and originator of the
frauds, is hiding in the south of France
under a disguise. So far the only ar
rest effected has been that of his
brother. Henri Wilmart, but further
developments are expected shortly.

Though the negotiations over Morocco

While the kaiser is keeping his fingers
away from the international pie and has
been strangely silent in regard to his feel
ings concerning the failure of German
tactics, guns and military engineering in
Turkey, he has by no means been silent
in other directions at home. This time
1t has been the turn of the German
mobiles rather than of the socialists to
arouse his ire. The kaiser is exceedingly
interested in the idea of a Berlin socia |
season and is furious because German
aristocrats have adopted the more con-
ven!ent and modern habit of staying at
the big hotels of Berlin rather than OPEN
