MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
CLAIMS TO BE ENVOY
State Department Investigating Record
of American Who Says He Is
Administration Agent"

State Department officials are looking
int the record of an American who has
been travelling through some of the coun-
tries of South ARerica posing as a Con
hdential agent" oNthe State Department
and President Wilson. The regularly ac-
credited diplomatic representatives of the
United States in at least one of these
countries have been kept busy of late
apolosizing for some OF the things which
the self-constituted envoy saw fit to
say in the course of his visit there.
Several days ago a report came to the
department from an American minister.
urgently requesting to be advised as to
the status OF the traveller, whose name. as
reported to the department, officials here
decline to disclose. According to the re-
port the self-styled emissary, having won
the confidence OF the officials OF the coun-
try he was visiting. was imparting to
them what he declared were the private
views of the administration concerning
Latin-American politics
The climax came when, at banquet he
attended, the stranger. decidedly the
worse for wine, amazed the local officials
by some vigorous assertions of what the
administration at Washington proposed
to do with regard to the Monroe doctrine
and other pan-American policies.
OIncials here believe that the steps
taken to repudiate the man will serve to
check his career. He claimed to hold a
commission similar TO that of Col House
John Lind and other confidential ENJOYS
employed by President Wilson.

Strand and Fleet street are highways
of empire. thronged at all hours with
khaki-clad warriors from Canada.
Australia. South Africa, New Zealand
and India. The bonds which knit the
empire together have grown imrneasur-
ably since the war and once the war is
over they will be drawn closer in
community of imperial interests.
Mr.. Hughes, the Australian prime
minister, who is now in England, has
done more than any other man to secure
this approchement. 1t is several years
since l had visited the old country and
found changes brought about by the
war truly wonderful. No Briton living
can visit the mother country at the
present time, without being completely
conscious of the awakening of a new
national spit spirit.
THE people are making heavy sacri-
fees, but they believe the goal they have
in view is fully worth such sacrifices.
There has been a veritable uplift of
heart, mind and soul-a regular spiritual
spring cleaning. II one may use such
phrase.
Nobody ventures to predict how long
the war will last, but most believe that
Kitchener's estimate of three years will
come near the mark. In my opinion much
depends upon the German harvest this
year. II it should prove bad, as many
have foreshadowed. it is difficult to see
how the Germans can last another win
