NORTHWESTERN

Although the principa1ity of Lich-
tenstein. between Austria and Switzer-
land, is nominaIly a. sovereign and in
dependent state, and has declared it's
neutrality in the war, all its interests
are bound up with Austria, to which
it is really attached by treaties, a GUS
toms union, and teIegraphic and postal
communication. Just as the little
italian republic of San Marine, is fight
ing on the side of Italy, SO is Lichten-
Fstein bound to Austria. Francis
Joseph's government has announced
that the tiny principally, which has
an area of IS square miles and popu-
1ation Of 1900, is within the Austro-
Hungarian theatre of war. Many of
the men of Lichtensteins are serving
under the Austrian flag, and Prince
Edward of Lichtenstein, a scion of the
prince1y family, holds an important
position as chief of the war relief bu-
reau of the Austrian ministry of the
interior. Prince Edward also con
ducts a. flourishing business in station
cry, souvenirs, medals, badges and in
signals. which he started soon after the
outbreak of the war, devoting all the
profits to a fund for a11eviating the
miserfes of wars victims. Prince Ed
ward lis credited with the working out
bureau of which he is the head has
established in each community in the
empire an office for the conduct of
the business of the soldiers at the
front. When the men were suddenly
called to the front the affairs of many
OF them were left in a tang1e, and
there was great confusion until
Prince Edward tnaugurated his plan
whereby local committees attend COM
petentIy and without charge to all
sorts of business, legal and financial
transactions for the men at the front.

Lincoln, ''the Super Spy"

Lincoln, the self-styled "super-spy
who was arrested in New York for
extradition to Great Britain but es-
ties in January last and was recap
tured thirty-five days later. has had
a most spectacular career. He was
born thirty-seven years ago today,
April 4, 1879, in Hungary. His par
entS were Jews, and his real name is
Isaac Trebitch. He was educated in
Hungary and Germany, and later
studied theology in Montreal. When
he went to England he changed his
name to Lincoln, and became Rev.
Ignatius Timothy Tribfch Lincoln.
After a brief service as a clergyman
Of the Church of England he entered
British politics. In 1908 he was ma
tura1ized as a British citizen. and two
years later he entered Parliament
from the Darlington district. Ac-
fcording to his own confession, he be-
came a spy for Germany at the out
break of the war, and engineered an
ambitious plot which had for its OBJ
ject the destruction of the British
fleet Falling under suspicion, he
says, he fled, to America Soon after
landing in this side he wrote a series
of articles for New York paper in
which he Iauded himself as the great
est spy1in all history. Since then his
revelations have been elaborated
and published in book form. The Bril-
fish authorities asked for his extra
dition On the ground that he is a
common forger'' and according to
the English agents, LincoIn's 'con-
fessions'' are pure romance, unadul-
terated with truth. He is not and
never was a, spy, the British govern
ment contends, and the only reason he
is wanted in London is to answer to
the crime of signing a name not his
own to a check.
AS a member of the British Parlia-
trade, and at that time he declared
that Industrial conditions in his adopt
ed country were far better than in
Germany or Austria-Hungary. He
asserted that the rose meat and dog
meat were common articles of<diet in
Germany. According to the aUthorf-
ties of the Jail where Lincoln has
been confined,t the man is, if not a
super-spy, at least a super-egotist.
His passion for publicity led him to
visit a New York newspaper office
and give an interview a short time
after his escape. lincoln is, married
and hasf four sons. One of these is
an adopted child. and, it is said, is
serving in the British army. He was
known as Rev. Ignatius T. TrebitSch
in Montreal fifteen years ago when
he studied theology in a college in
the Canadian city. In 1902 he was a
Jewish Presbyterian missionary in
Montreal for a few weeks, when he
left the Presbyterian church and en-
listed under the Anglican banner.

YALE LOCKS


The first so-caIled ttburglar-proof''
locks were the invention of Linus
Yale, Jr.. who was born in Salisbury,
N. Y, ninety-five years ago today.
Locks of a simple character We're
early used by the Egyptians Chinese,
Greeks and Romans, and they were
used in western Europe as early as
1881. Barron's lock, on the many
tumb1er principle, was patented in
1778, and Chubb's *sdetector'' locks
came into use in England in 1918. In
the first half of the nineteenth cen
tury many improvements in locks
were made by Day and Newell, Dent
son, Andrews Hobbs and others, but
Linus Yale proved that they afforded
insecure protection. With a simple
wire he picked the most famous locks
in England and America In 1850
he devised a key for bankers safes
involving IA mechanical principle
which, as developed in the yale
locks proved much superior to any
thing Of the kind previously known.
His dial and shaft in combination
locks and the perfection of clock
work mechanism and related devices
added to his pre-eminence. While his
locks were thought for a time to be
burglar-proof, cunning criminals sue
ceeded in disprovfng this theory, and
the lock has never been made that
was absolutely infallible. Yale died
in New York in 1868.
