LONDON. July 3.-Trooper George

The London police do nothing by

there came an urgent call for "A strong
force of special constables TO be dis
patched post haste to distant desti-
nation, so the authorities in charge OF
the specials" having collected their
men telephoned to the principal omni-
bus company to supply six motorbusses
AT once.
The company replied that all it's
buses we're out at work. Scotland
Yard, notified of this, did what Won
Hindcnburg would have done in similar
circumstances. Police were sent out
into Whitehall with orders to stop the
first six motorbusses that came by, turn
out their passengers and bring the We
hicles and their drivers round to the

NEST OF SPIES FOUND
In NORTHERN FRANCE

(Con.inued from First Pagc)
OF the season was being held in KIcl
roadStead. and one Of the imperial sail
ing vessels was taking part in it. The
Kaiser had gone aboard n fast yacht
winch was following some distance be-
hind the leading group of racers.
Suddenly the approach OF the ad-
miralty launch was siSnaled A few
minutes more and she was within nifty
yards of the yacht. Admiral Won Null
Ter. chief of the Emperor's naval cabi-
net. could he seen standing with n big
envelope in his hand. The Kaiser was
visibly annoyed at this interruption in
the midst OF SO interesting contest.
and he impatiently waved his hand, as
much as to say:
race"
But Admiral Won Muller persisted.
and his launch advanced close to the
side OF the yacht. Then. taking his
telescope case, the admiral placed the
dispatch inside and tossed it on the
deck of the yacht, where it dropped at
the kaiser's feet. His Majesty opened
IT, read the dispatch. and turned pale
y moment passed. Then he was heard
distinctly 10 mutter:
We'll everything has to be done
over again."
AS soon AS the Kaiser had informed
those standing around OF the arch
dukes assassination The flag was low
cred TO half-mast, the race was stopped
and the yacht returned at full speed TO
kiel.
What did the Kaiser mean by those
words. Everything over again? Was
he referring to the engagements en-
tered into at Konopischt in the middle
OF June. when he was in the arch
dukes guest? Was it the plan of an
imminent military co-operation? Did
lie foresee that he would have to nego-
tate afresh with the new heir presump-
tive. and did he apprehend difficulties?
Or had he in his mind some other plans
which was upset by this unexpected
death? One thing is clear: the arch
dukes death threatened TO comprimese
an important design.
