PLOT THICKENS, MAYBE;
WOLF HAS VANISHED
He's of Teuton Strain and Over
brook Household Is Distressed
by His Disappearance
Hist! More plots-maybe.

Hist! More plots-maybe.
Another mystery creeps into the lime
light. Where is Wolf? Is he another arch
conspirator? He is of Teuton strain.
Wolf has been in this country about three
years. He came over at the outbreak of the
European war Wolf lived life of ease.
surrounded with luxury. He was admired
by all who knew him. He is of a striking
appearance.
Right in the midst of the many exposures
Wolf disappeared. To be exact 1t was last
Monday afternoon. "Nary hide nor hair of
him. has been seen since that time
Looks mighty suspicious" quoth one
of the many amateur Investigators who
has been endeavoring to force his analytical
and deductive mind at the disposal of Frank
Garbarino, the special agent of the Depart
ment of Justice.
simple matter. Put two and two to-
gether," nonchalantly added the civilian
sleuth.
Still the matter is unsolved. Wolf left
his home. Nobody saw him depart. He
was without a collar That may prove
to be a clue. His hair rs slightly streaked
with gray. The matter Is serious. A suit
able reward is offered for information con-
cerning the whereabouts OF. Wolf.
Wolf is a German police dog, or in other
words a German wolf hound. He is the
pet Of Mrs. Samuel Humphrey. of 1851
Overbrook avenue. Just before the war. Mrs.
Humphrey and her daughter Adele were
abroad. While in Paris they saw Wolf and
were Immediately attracted by his beauty.
They brought him to America.
The land of freedom apparently appealed
TO Wolf Likewise the magnificent resi-
dences in Overbrook and the many caresses
he received. Life was one grand song Of
tranquility and luxurious ease Motoring
was one of VOLTS favorte pastimes. He al
ways occupied position on the folded top
of the large touring car Of the Humphrey
residence,
Th- dog is tan and streaked with gray.
His departure has caused great regret In the
Humphrey household. Wolf is sorely missed.

EXPERIMENTS A SUCCESS.
Navy Department to Employ Wire
less Telephony in War Operations.

Experiments with wireless telephony
have proved its practical value to such
an extent that 1t will be used by the
navy in its war operations along with
wireless telegraphy.
A statement issued last night by the
public information committee says that
engineers and scientists working with
officials of the navy in developing the
wireless telephone have made "impor-
tant progress" but does not go into
details. The national research council
and the naval consulting board have
devoted much attention to the subject,
working on telephone communication
with airplanes, new wireless methods
and apparatus for detecting the pres
ence of submarines.

"our Spirits and Our Memories Shall

A remarkable excerpt from the letter
Of a twenty-year-old lieutenant in the

received In Washington. The letter
was written last September. addressed
to the young mans parents. In &C
cordance with the custom of British Of

tie. not to be forwarded unless the Off
Ger died. In this case the boy died on
the field. and the letter shows re-
markable and beautiful state Of mind.
In part, it is as follows:
"Of course, / know that you will be
terribly cut up. and that it will be a
long time before you get over it, but
bued with the spirit of the navy and
army to carry on You must console
yourselves with the thought that l am
happy, whereas If I had lived-who

pitiful thing what little difference the
disappearance of a man makes to any
institution. even though he may have
played very Important role. A mo-
mentS regret, moments pause Tor re-
adjustment, and another man steps for
ward to carry on and the machine
clanks onward with scarce check.
The death of a leader of the nation is
less than a seven days wonder. To a
very small number 1t is given to live in
history: their number is scarcely one in
ten millions. To the rest 1t is only
granted to live in their achievements
But for this war I and all the others
would have passed into oblivion like
countless myriads before us. We should
have gone about our trifing business,
eating. drinking, sleeping, hoping, mar
rying. giving in marriage. and, finally,
dying with no more achieved than when
we were born, with the world no differ
ent for our lives. Even the cattle in the
field fare no worse than this They,
too. eat. drink, sleep. bring forth young
and die. leaving the world no different
from what they found 1t. But we shall
live forever in the results of our eff
forts. We shall live as those who by
their sacrifice won the great war. Our
spirits and our memories shall endure
in the proud position our country shall
hold In the future. The measure of
life is not its span, but the use made of
it. I did not make much use Of my
life before the war. but think 1 have
done SO now"
