German Papers Indulge ina
Bit of Premature Sarcasm

BERLIN, via London, Nov. 3. -
While the newspapers have played
up the capture of the Americans in
their heads, the only comment is
made by the LOkal AnZieger under
the caption. Good morning. boys"
The newspaper then says:
Three cheers for the Americans!
Clever chaps they are, it cannot be
denied. Scarcely have they touched
the soil of this purified Europe
when they already are forcing their
way into Germany. Before long they
will cross the Rhine and also enter
our fortresses. That is express train
speed and American smartness.
1t is our good fortune that we
are equipped TO receive and enter
tain numerous guests and that we
shall be able to provide quarters for
these gentlemen.

Lord, men, who, if their beliefs pre-

man hearts such consolidating and
comforting thoughts.
They did not believe in the resur-
rection OF the dead, and soon this
was carried over to that other, they
did not believe in the survival of the
spirit when the body fell in death.
But Jesus soon convinced them that
Cod is the God OF the living; that

Parr had just brought the roadster
to standstill at the point indicated
by Patria when another car, a limou-

CODE MESSAGES.

Parr pondered the adventure sober
ly over lonely lunch in an incon-
spicuous corner of the Casino.
Within his radius of vision were
seated both persons, aside from him
self, involved in the as yet obscure
intrigue. and with them some others.

This Senor de Lima, then was a
fourth party to the intrigue.
If any more proof of that were
needed, 1t was furnished by Huroki,
who, upon the arrival of Miss Chan
ming and her party, covertly designat-
ed her to De Lima, muttering some
thing which Parr would have given
much to overhear. and which seemed
to exert a rather incendiary effect
upon infiammable Mexican emotions
Patria was hardly seated when a
page called Baron Huroki to the tele-
phone.
Intuition whispered to the under
standing of Captain Parr. He was
entertained by mental vision of an
unhappy and excited little japanese

mering the story of a purloined mes
sage into a telephone receiver.
When Baron Huroki returned wear
ing a countenance whose racial Sc
renity was perceptibly ruffied. Captain
Parr smiled grimly into his deni-
tasse.
Shortly after this he got up. strolled
unobtrusively out of the Casino and
found the nearest telegraph office,
where he concocted a lengthy code
message to one Edward w. Ryley in
New York. -.
The answer was delivered as Cap
