Stories From the War Zone

LONDON, May 25.--(By Mail to
New York England's newest war
mystery is the 'will-'o-the- wisp" Of
the British East Coast
Cleverest sleuths OF the nation are
today searching for a mysterious grey
motor car "D-4S32" that nightly races
along peaceful East Anglia highways
intermittently piercing the upper
darkness with flashes Of light that
tell military secrets to enemy subma-
rines lowering off the coast.
The mystery rivals the most thrill
ing Of war time dramas with the cli-
max yet to come.
Occupants OF peaceful farmhouses
and villagers Of the quaint old Eng
lish seacoast towns are waiting for
the government to solve the mystery
that is the talk Of the countryside
Nightly they have seen the powerful
car dash madly past, a huddled fig
ure bent low over the wheel. Some
say he wears the uniform of "a British
military officer while others are not
so sure All Of them have seen the
piercing rays Of the motors search
light perform strange arcs on the sky.
A dozen times they have spread the
alarm by phone in the direction the
mysterious visitor was travel'ng but
as many times he has eluded them.
Il is only at night that the "phan-
tom thunders along the East Coast
roads At daybreak he disappears
seemingly into air until another
night
On the night Of the last Zeppelin
raid over suffolk and Essex the
phantom" was out Carrying a
binding white light, the villagers say,
he dashed over hin and dale plainly
plotting the Zeppelin over its course
A hundred persons swear to this. One
caught the number Of the grey mys-
tery,-"D-4S32' but no car with that
number is registered
Guards are now posted along all the
principal East Coast roads. Here the
phantom" has ceased his nightly Wis
