Chemistry shows Up Plot.
It was chemistry that told the British
authorities that what appears to be an
American passport is not always the real
article.
A government chemist informed the au-
thorities that the great and powerful red
seal of the American State Department
had been forged by the enemy; that the
Secretary of States signature had been
photographed from a genuine American
passport in Germany and applied to a
spurious document carried later by a spy
in England
1t was the chemists proof. linked
with other features that followed.

he was furnished the forgery to OBJ

This forgery is today in the hands
of the British authorities for COM
parison with other suspicious-looking
documents bearing the seal of the
United States.
Americans travelling through Eng
land to or from continental countries

most thorough examination and sur

London, Sept. 1S.-While Germany
cannot win as she had hoped, before
the war is through she will still make
a desperate struggle to conquer Eu-
rope and threaten India.
There is real and increasing danger
of a bad settlement or even dis
graced peace. No more insidlous peri
could menace our own future or that
of the world.
The people at home have it abso-
lutely in their hands to prevent a
German success in every shape and
form, and prevent the possibility OF
precarious settlement threatening
the whole security of our future ex-
istencc To work with might and
main against these things is cause
best worth the energy and resolut IN
of every true British man and wom-
an today.
six months ago We were told again
and again upon authority that the
Germans had finally lost their initia-
tive The statement is untrue. 1t was
not meant to be falsehood; none
the less. it is a profoundly mistaken
and gross delusion.
The allies cannot begin to win until
once more they have got initiative 1ullS
in their own hands. and nothing VIII now
give a strong and contiued initiative to
the allies except a very large develop
ment of the actual fighting power OF
Britain on land.
We must, therefore. have at any price
and without delay, such an organization
in this country as shall give us sufficient
means Efficiency of direction is now
most earnestly required to insure the
future of our own empire and the decls-
i've triumph at the end of the war of the
allies as a whole.
Germany cannot win clean out. The

SAYS FORD PUTS UTNEY
BEFORE SHIP OF STATE
Aero Club Governor Upbraids Him for
Making $l0,0O0.0O0 Peace

accused of trying to substitute the

ly, you are Fundamentally so, and the
SIC. .00O. 900 you are about to spend will not
offset present evil influences. but will
assist in staging another war-a war on

when your announcement that you
would spend s1,000.0O0 in an attempt
to oppose the national preparedness
movement was published broadcast,
the whole country smiled and your ad
vertising manager was credited with
exceptional ingenuity. acumen and
enterprise. When you increased the
amount to $10.OOO.OOO you acquired
a nuisance value but just the same.

BULGARIA IS TOLD TO-

Message from Entente Allies Delivered

declare herself as between the allies and
the central powers in a joint note just
addressed by the entente powers to the
Sofia government. The note, however,

The request is evidently made as re-

The note was delivered to the Sofia
government two days ago. 1t does not
fix any time limit for reply and is not
. an ultimatum. but diplomats consider it
to be of a nature requiring Bulgaria to
take stand one way the other and
make that stand known 1t was sent
as the result of a decision reached BY
the entente powers to submit the
Serbian concessions and secure from
Bulgaria a definite statement of her po-
sition.
Agreement Postponed.
The note says that the allies are now
prepared to offer the Serbian concessions
and asks if such CONCESSIONS will bring
about the cooperation of Bulgaria with
the other Balkan states. Whether any
reference is made to Greece as well is
not disclosed. nor are the exact conces-
sions. although these are believed to in
clude all the territory east of the Vardar
River. possibly with provision for a neu-
tral zone west of the river.

and Turkey has again been postponed,
