TWENTY-ElGHTH EPISODE
THE CAVE IN THE CLIFF.

IL was not lOng after the almost
miraculous escape of Elaine and my
self from the blowing up of the bridge
on the shore road that Del Mar re-
turned from his mysterious mission
which had. apparently. taken him
actually down to the bottom of the
sea.
The panel In the wall of his library
opened and In the still dripping sub
marine suit, holding under his arm
. the weird helmet, Del Mar entered
No sooner had he begun to remove
his wet diving suit than the man who
had signaled with the heliograph that
we had found Del Mars message from
below whatever that might mean,
entered the house and was announced
by the valet
Let him come in Immediately" or
dered Del Mar. placing his suit in a
closet. Then to the man. as he en-
tered the room, he said: Well, what's
new?'
Quite a bit" returned the man,
frowning still over Elaine's accidental
discovery of the underwater com
munication. "The Dodge girl happened
to pick up one of the tubes with a
message Just after you went down. 1

the bridges, but it didn't work, some

marked Del Mar angrily with a sinis-
ter frown. You stay here and wait
for ORDERS"
moment later he made his way
down to private dock on his grounds
and jumped aboard a trim little speed
boat moored there. He started the
motor and off the boat feathered in a
cloud of spray.

We were in doubt at first, however,

message which we had picked up in
the harbor.
Really. Walter" remarked Elaine.
after we had considered the matter
for some time, 81 think we ought to
send that message to the government
at Washington. 1t may be of great i'm
portance."
Already she had seated herself at
her desk and began to write, while
examined the metal tube and the note
again.

back on the 1884 yesterday afternoon,

garGed the homegoing with any active
regrets.
Press-agented as a squad of million
aires who were going TO show White
Lighters how money should be spent
their appearance was anticipated with
no small degree Of curiosity. This
much must be said, however, that when
blase Broadway learned they were
twenty-one middle-aged and respectable
couples on a holiday il was a lot more
considerate of them than their own
sort at home.
Yesterday morning the Joy seeking

their wraps at the Aston and wound up

BOMB PLOT TRAIL
LEADS TO LYONS
DR.. Kienzle Recognized as
Former Cashier for
Firm in France.
LEFT CITY BEFORE
ARMY Modified
German Officer, Supposed To Be
Fay, Came to America Later
to Meet Him, Is Report.

Paris. Nov. 2s.-The Lyons corre-
spondent OF the petit Parisien" as
serts he has succeeded in establishing
the identity Of DR.. Herbert Kienzle, in
volved in New York on a conspiracy
charge with Robert Unger. The corre-
spondent says DR.. Kienzle was born at
Ulm and formerly was cashier for the
firm Of saencer e. Buetzchler, Of Lyons,
now seQuestered.
Unger, who is said TO have been
subaltern officer in the German army,
arrived at Lyons from Frankfort In
July, 1918, and left the day before the
mobilization Of the French army, aban-
doning two trunks, which detectives
seized for examination. The Petit
Parisien" correspondent AYERS that he
has shown a photograph of the man ar
rested in New York under the name Of
Kienzle to employees Of the firm OF
Saencer & Buetzchler and they identi-
fled him az the former cashier.
The "Petit Parisien's" representative
asserts that Unger made frequent ex-
cursions to points where 1t was pos
sble to obtain information Of military
value.
The cashier of the Ssencer q
Buetschler firm went to New York a
month before the mobilization Of the
French army. ostensibly to collect a
debt Of $4,000 francs ($i65,000), and
the Petit Parisien" says Unger went

DR.. Herbert Kienzle was arrested In
New York on October % on suspicion
Of being connected with an alleged con-
spiracy to blow up munitions ships
sailing from American ports. The name
of Robert Unger has not figured in the
bomb conspiracy. 1t is believed here
that the Robert Unger mentioned in
the cable dispatch is intended for Rob-
ert Fay, accused of being the head of
the bomb plot.

GAFFNEY BACK;
DENIES CHARGES
Former Consul General,
Ousted from Munich, on
Way to Washington.
AMERICANS PRAISED
CONDUCT, HE SAYS
Knows Nothing of Reported AT"
tack on Wilson and BlameS
London Paper for Trouble.

T. st. John Gaffney, lately removed
from the position Of American Consul
General at Munich for alleged Improper
references to the Wilson administra-
ton and to Great Britain, returned
Yesterday on tho Oscar II, Of the Sean
dinavian American Line. He said he
would go to Washington to-day or to-
morrow to answer at the State De-
partment the charges against him.
Mr.. Gaffney said he had with him
numerous documents and testimonials
from we'll known Americans and Eng
lishmen at Munich praising his conduct.
In a written statement yesterday he
said he was officially ignorant of the
charges against him. He declared he
was attacked while he was $500 miles
away, condemned without hearing
and asked to resign. The statement in
part follows:
"Mr. Gafney thinks the trouble
started with a story which THE Morn
ing Post of London, printed August
II, based on a wire from its CORE
spondent in Berne to the effect that he
had been rude TO Americans and Brit
ish in Munich. Fleet Street CORE
spondents cabed TO papers in New
York, one Of which also printed that a
New York Irishman attempted to send
a secret letter TO him by the Austrian
Consul General.
"Mr. Gaffney said that, as far as he
can classify them, the attacks are:
Rudeness TO Americans and British in
Munich; smuggling secret letter; COM
mending Berlin papers which attacked
Wilson; dining Sir Roger Easement;
approving newspaper attack on Bryan.
"He says that in the time of the
mobilization his Office was in necessary
turmoil. Willing but unframed volun-
teers in the consulate may have Ocea-
sionally been rude, but no complaint
was made to him at the time. Person
ally he was uncivil 10 no one.
"Of the secret letter which, IL Is al
legged, was handed in at the Austrian
Consulate General in New York City
he knows nothing.
"As TO the third charge, commenting
The Continental Times Of Berlin, ac-
cused Of attacking President Wilson,
he says that he praised the papers
War Book, not the paper The War
Book contained nothing attacking Mr..
Wilson or the administration.
"As for the fourth charge, he says
that he gave private lunch for Pro-
lessor George b. Mcclellan, former
Mayor of New York, at whose request
he invited Sir Roger Easement. No
speeches were made, and Sir Rogers
standing with Britain or Germany was
not discussed.
"As TO approving newspaper attack
on Bryan, Mr.. Gafney says that he
knows nothing of either the attack or
his alleged approval"

Teutons Reported Planning
Exodus from New York on Shir

Information concerning a proposed
exodus of Germans, Austrians and
Hungarians from this port early in
December in a chartered vessel, has
come to the attention of the Federal
authorities investigating German bomb
conspiracies. Although little credence
Is given to the report, it will be in
vestigated.
at is absurd TO think that a thou
sand or more Germans or Austro-Hun-
garians would attempt to get away
from haven like New York and face
certain capture by British war vessels,
said Secret Service man yesterday.
at is true that many of these men,
especially those employed on German
steamships before the war, VINO were
marooned here, have been chatting under
the restraint. Many have not heard
from relatives In months and their
anxiety Is on the verge of desperation.
IL is thought that this was the chief
reason for the recent disappearance of
several men who got away in a sail
boat from the interned German cruis-
ers Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz
Eitel Friedrich at Norfolk.
There is nothing &c prevent a Ger
man or an Austrian from leaving this
port. He has the same rights as those
accorded to British, French and Italian
subjects. Fear of capture and the re-
fusal Of neutral steamship lines to
carry them have been the only reason
for their remaining here.
"The chartered vessel, according to
information. is scheduled TO get away
about December 4, but ! doubt IL you
will see any such ship passing out the
Narrows."
The trial of Or. Karl Buenz and
others will be resumed this morning in
the Federal Court before Judge Har-
land b. Howe. The prosecution has
about thirty more witnesses to put
upon the stand, but as their testimony
will be brief, il is expected that the
government will end its side Of the
case on Tuesday.
William Rand, jr, chief counsel for
the defence, said he would require
about a day for the examination of his
witnesses. 1t is thought that he will
call Dr.. Buenz and 1olph Hachmeister,
head Of the supply department of the
Hamburg American Line. II Is ex-
uected tho case will 90 to the jury
Thursday night or Friday morning.
Andrew D. Melpy, who was indicted
in connection with the passport frauds,
went to Washington yesterday and IL
is rumored he is to give important in
formation to the State Department.
Several days ago Meloy, on advice Of
counsel, made statement to II. Snow
den Marshall, Federal District Attorney.

MINISTER, HERE
Youngest Diplomat, Pro-
tege of Yuan-Shih-Kai, a
Columbia Graduate.
CALLS AMERICA
HIS SECOND HOME
Legate Greeted at Pier by Many
Friends-Is Familiar with
Nations Customs.

DR.. V. X. Wellington Koo, ex-Chinsse
Minister to Mexico, arrived yesterday
on the American liner New York, 10
take up his new post Of Minister to the
United States. He was accompanied by
his wife and Dr. Wen Pin Wei, who will
be the first secretary OF the Chinese
Legation at Washington.
DR.. Koo. who Is credited with being
the youngest diplomatic representative
ever sent to Washington, acquired
keen insight into American affairs dur
ing a brilliant career at Columbia Uni
versity. from which he was graduated
in 1909. He received his degree Of
Doctor Of Philosophy in 1912. Many
friends made during his student days
met him at the pier.
New York and America seem ike a
second home to me-" said DR.. koo as
he thanked his friends for their warm
reception. "and | consider my appoint
ment to the United State1 the highest
honor my country could confer on me.
Whatever | may be able to accomplish
in strengthening the bonds OF friend
shin between the two nations will give
me the deepest qualification"
The new minister received his sp-
pointment from President Yuan Shin
Kai, and succeeds Kai Flu Shah. who
has been recalled. During visit to
China last August DR.. Koo was chosen
Minister 10 Mexico. He was informed
of his appointment as Minister 20 the
United States while in London attend
inr to private business, and came here
as soon as possible to assume his
higher duties.
DR.. Koo's wife Is the youngest daugh-
ter Of Tang-Shao-yi, who has been Pre-
mier Of the Chinese Republic and was
M one time special ambassador to the
United States. The minister said that
he was out of touch with the latest po-
/ litical developments in his own coun-
/ try. lie has had no official notiiica-
I ton, he said, Of the proposed alliance
/ of China with the Allied powers. and
would not discuss the possibilities OF
China's entering the war. He also pre-
ferred not TO discuss the possible re-
turn Of n monarchy in China. WI hen
he was last there, he said, there had
been no talk OF it.
! DR.. Koo Is n prot6ge Of President
Yuan Shih-Kai, and was for some years
his private secretary. His appoint
ment was taken to be an indication OF
the Chinese Presidents desire, in the
event of American mediation IN the
war, to have his country represented
at Washington by one who was famil-
lar with China's ideals and aspirations.
DR.. Koo's experience in New YORK,
where he made wide circle Of friend;
and acquired a perfect mastery Of the
English language, as well as grasp on
American politics, peculiarly fitted him
for his present post.
As Under Secretary Of the Foreign
Office, DR.. Koo took an active part in
the recent Japanese-Chinese negotia-
tons at Peking, and Is supposed to
have written large part of China's re-
ply to the japanese ultimatum.
Yung Kwai, counsellor Of the Chi
ness Legation In Washington, met DR..
Koo at the pier. DR. Koo left with his
party for Washington yesterday after
noon.
