lief that il was a cipher message.
The cablegram vas sent to the broth
er in Madagascar for the purpose of
informing him Of the death OF the
mother OF the vi men in South Da-
kota. The two verses Of scripture had
been selected by the South Dakota
brother to be used al the funeral OF
the mother, and be cabled them to his
brother, SO the latter could utilize the
same verses at simultaneous funeral
services in honor of the mother at
services held by him in his mission
in Madagascar.
The British government finally was
satisfied, after referring the matter
back to the United States and South
Dakota. and after a delay of some
days permitted the cablegram to go
forward after the word verses had
been added. The cablegram consisted
Of fourteen words, and cos- the South

the British government spent several
times that amount before it was con
yinced that the cablegram vas pure
