FLOUR SENT TO GERMANY.
Uncle Sans Mail Service VIII Garry
1t, But Cost Exceeds Its Worth.

! Washington, March 17.-Many per-
sons in Washington felt that the post
master general would be "stumpcd"
by the ingenious device by which
DR.. George Barthelme, correspondent
of the Cologne Gazette, undertook to
ship flour to Germany in spite Of the
allies blockade.
! 1t is known that Uncle Sans mails
are reaching Germany; and so, as Il
test to be followed on the wholesale
If it worked, the doctor dispatched
ny parcel post Il sack OF flour to q
friend in the "Fatherland," and then
indulged in a chuckle which was
seemingly justifiablc.
However, the flour which DR.. Bart
helme and others now in the United
states may send to Germany by the
parcel post is not likely to cause any
serious trouble between this country
and Great Britain. This assertion is
made on the assumption that flour
thus mailed is going to reach it's des-
tinatiOn, too. DIR. Rarthlcme has re-
ceived at the postOfiice the rather baf-
ling assurance that he can mail all

he had any agreement with Murdoch
or the detective to purchase anything,
nor did he arrange to have them steal
papers from the construction COM
pany. He declared that Tarnisasky
approached him with a statement that
he had information that submarines
were being built here for the British
navy, but that he had dealt with the
detective only SO far as was necessary
to determine whether there was any
truth in the report. The consul ex-
pressed confidence in a prompt dis
missal Of the charge against him.
Murdock and the detective were ar
rested last night on a joint grand lar

will be held by the prosecutor as the
states principal witness, was released
