CANADIAN INVASION
PLOT is REVEALED
LETTERS OF HORST Won DER
GoLTZ SEIZED BY SCOTLAND
YARD DETECTIVES.

Washington.-A quantity of CORE
spondence belonging to Horst Won der
Goltz, the alleged German spy, who
has said he was the directing head OF
the plan to blow up the Wellaud Ca
nal has been seized by Scotland Yard
detectives and will be made public
shortly by the British foreign office,
according to an announcement by De-
partment of Justice officials.
1t is understood that the CORE
spondence contains details of plans
to blow up the Welland Canal and of
invasion of Canada from the United
States as well as to name persons in
the country hitherto unmentioned.
This correspondence, it was said,
enabled the British authorities to OBJ
tain full statement from Won der
Goltz as to his activities in the Unit
ed States. II is believed new details
of Won der Goltz's work in this coun-
try will be disclosed with the publica-
ton of the cores pondence.
Officials here also have been In
formed that the correspondence shows
who aided Won der Goltz in obtaining
an American passport in Baltimore
under the alias of Bridman Taylor and
that names of other persons who
might be called upon, il necessary, to
assist in obtaining other passports
probably will be disclosed.

ENTENTE REPLIES
ON mail SEIZURES
DENIES TREATY RIGHTS OF NEU-
TRAILS VIOLATED LOOKING
FOR CONTRABAND.

Washington.-The governments of
the entente allies, through Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador.
has presented to Secretary Lansing a
joint reply to the protest made by
the United States against the seizure,
detention and censorship of neutral
mails. 1t declared that no legitimate
letter mail had been confiscated nor
any treaty rights violated, but en-
phatically asserted the allies inten-
ton to continue searching parcel post
packages for eontraband concealed
under postal folders"
In regard to true correspondence"
the note says the allied governments
will continue for the present to re-
frain from Selling and conffcating at
sea these correspondence, letters and
dispatches, and that they will insure
the most rapid transition of them pos
sible as soon as the genuineness of
their character is known"
The vigorous protest of the United
States against the treatment of neu-
trail mails was based largely on evil
dence in the possession of the State
Department that while mails had not
always been searched at sea, neutral
ships, upon being taken into British
ports for inspection, had their mails
removed, detained and otherwise IN.
terfered with. The reply does not
mention this phase Of the controversy.
The protest was in the form of a
memorandum of instructions to Am
bassador Page at London. 1t stated
specifically that the American govern
ment was inclined to consider that
parcel post shipments were subject to
the same treatment accorded goods
sent by freight or express.
In regard to parcel post shipments,
the communication says merchandise
shipped under the shape of parcel post
must not and shall not be treated diff
ferently from the merchandise shipped
in any other way"

Story of the Hermit.
Near the summit of Old Badly there
is a perennial spring whose cold and
sparkling waters leap from beneath
its very crown About these gushing
mountain waters there fingers the
story of the hermit 1t is said that
when he first reached the summit,
searching for a cave in which to live,
he was almost famished on account or
thirst. With his staff he smote rock
and from it sprang this beautiful
stream that has not ceased to flow
since that day.
Though many thousands of feet
above the valley numbers sought his
cave. Augustiniani erected fourteen
huge crosses, the ruins of which still
stand as silent monuments of his de-
votion and zeal From among his curl"
Gus and devout visitors he formed
society called the Brotherhood of the
Holy Cross. His only exaction was
pilgrimage in May and September.
They must ascend the peak and say
prayer around these crosses.
In the May pilgrimage Of 1867~~he
made farewell speech that crtkshed
the hearts of his followers. 1t was
then he revealed to them the hand of
destiny In his call to the land of Old
Mexico. Before his departure he Wis.
tied Father Baca OF Las Cruces, who
presented him with gold for his long
journey. He sought meditation fr
the night in the Oregon mountains.
Taking his farewell of Father Baea, he,
said:
Tonight ! will be in my cave and
will build my last fire on the peak to
tell you good-by. will pray the rosary
and l want you to do likewise with
your people on the roofs of your
houses. If you do not see the fire you
may know that l am dead and may
come tomorrow and get my books and
property"
No fire was kindled on the peak that
night The next day company as
cended the heights. Amid the very
clouds they found the body of the good
old hermit, stricken through with
many an arrow flung from the bows Of
the bloody Navajos.

APPLAUSE OF VARIOUS KINDS
Always Easy to Distinguish the Gen.
uine From the Perfunctory or
the Manufactured.

With nearly every successful adj
dress applause plays leading part.
There are several varieties of ap-
plause. The common variety is the
perfunctory handclap-a poor. weak
contribution which makes butterfly
look long-lived in comparison. A Sec
ond variety Is the charity offering Of
an audience to the oratorial beggar.
The speaker ends profound decla-
ration with a pause which is next door
to an open declaration Of war IL the
audience doesn't come across. Or he
works himself up in series OF men,
tai paroxysms which impels the audi
tors to rush to his rescue before 1t is
too late. All spellbinders pocket this
variety OF applause as real coin. OF
course It is nothing of the kind.
