EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItzendOrff,
the Iatter's revelations of the Inner
life OF the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessor of it's innermost
secrets.
The English "yVho's who" says of
hfms "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service OF Continental coun-
tries and is considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority ON
such matters" Another authority says:
Dew people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery OF Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
Of secret information at his command
than amy contemporary In civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store Of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeItzendord became an In
innate of LeQueux several years prior
TO the outbreak of the war; he has been
living In retirement In France since
August, 1914, and 1T was there that Lee

late Freiherr Won Stumm, whom the
emperor often visited.

came secretly irritated at the frequent
visits of his imperial guest, for certain
Iy what with the establishment of the
special telegraph to Berlin and a spe-
cial post office, and the finding of ac-
cOmmOdatiOn for the crowd of person
al attendants, each visit must have
cost poor old Won Stumm a consider
able amount.
| had already been busy upstairs in
the room allotted to me, and had come
out to take q walk In the warm and
welcome sunshine, when suddenly |
saw the emperor in a suit of brown
civilian clothes striding towards me.
He seemed to be in a humorous mood
and joked with me as walked beside
him.
Suddenly he halted, as though re-
collecting something and asked:
"Heltzendorff, have you with you
some of our paper for important dOcu-
ments?"
Certainly" was my reply.
"Ah then please place some of 1t
with envelopes upon my table, and also
wire to Berlin to send here ten cou-
riers."
'"Ten couriers?' l echoed in surprise.

or more"
Just before eight o'clock that night
/ was informed that the cOuriers were
waiting below, and on descending
found six of the imperial messengers
and four from the ministry of foreign
affairs, ready to travel anywhere, even
to the uttermost ends of the earth.
A Stupendous Hoax.
On informing his majesty, the lat
ter handed to me about thirty of the
great blue envelopes containing "docu-
ments of the highest Importance" adj

ficers of state, princes, princesses, and
other prominent people in all parts of
the empire.

in every case?" asked.
"Yes. In every case" he answered
Then / carried the batch of CORE
spondence below, and much puzzled at
the nature of this latest activity in
private letter-writing, I handed them
to the couriers, who sorted them out
and distributed them among them
selves.
Half an hour later the documents
were being conveyed to various parts
of the empire.
When / returned to the study
found the kaiser laughing quietly tC
himself, and wondered what could be
the reason. He signed some docu
ments | read to him, but ever and amor
n broad smile would cross his usually
stern features.
Until a week afterwards | did no
learn the cause of the imperial merri
ment, but when did burst into lout
laughter myself.
Those envelopes containing "docu
ments of highest Importance" each con
tanned only a comic postcard, which
the emperor had purchased during
visit to Saarbruck.
The kaiser had played a huge jok
upon those whom he despised, for tn
delivery Of these formidable imperia
dispatches created a great stir in tn
households of their recipients. Oh
princes were awakened in the middl
of the night to be handed dispatc

The American Magazine has an ar ticle about a barber who does not need your tip. ThA. writer says:
 "A few months ago a white-haired gentleman, ss years old, stood in the doorway of barber shop. His eyes were dimmed with tears as he gazed upon this superbly fitted room. He saw courteous. rapid workers attending to the wants of the many customers who came and went; he watched the use of every instrument obtainable to insure the comfort of the patrons; he heard the click of the cash register as it quickly received the coins: and yet he was sad. For he, Jacob Hysler. had sold his barber shop in the Hotel Manhattan. New York, where he had been for 20 years, and although 83 years old, he felt lonesome and useless. He retired with S300,000, town house, a country place, and two automobiles. He has shaved five Presidents of the United States and other celebrities. and yet he is sad. For Jacob Hysler wants to keep on working"

5O,OOO TONS STEEL FOR FREIGHT CARS FOR USE IN FRANCE
Temporary Halt in Placing Contracts Caused by Sus- pension of the Steel
 Institute

New York, August 26-The United States
 government is seeking to place contracts
 for more standard gauge freight cars for
 use in France, which will require about
 500o0 tons of steel. These are in addi-
 tion to standard cars requiring 10000
 tons. contracts for part of which all ready have been placed.
 Suspension of the distributive function of the steeel committee of the Iron and Steel Institute, until it's legal status has been' determined under the Lever bill,
 has caused temporary halt in placing these contracts, but government buying of machinery and tools for equipping
 railroads airplane engines and motor truck plants in France continues apace.
 French operated railroads also are buy ing cranes and other machinery in this market. Domestic railroads are placing orders
 for car construction and repairs and for
 motive power requiring about 5000 tons of steel and have not given up efforts
 to buy rails for both early and late de- livery. The Carnegie Steel company will furnish 10000 tons of light rails for ex- port to France.
 Considerable interest IS centefed in semi-nnished steel, billets and sheet bars that sold off $20 to s25 per ton in the last few weeks from the highest price are again firmer withs a recovery of $5 a ton in some instances.
 The war department has made further progress in the scheme to greatly ex- tend the manufacture of big guns Three more manufacturers are making improvements for building and equipping new shops to make gun forgings early in September, while other manufacturers are installing tools to machine the three, six and nine-inch forgings. The steel required for this ordnance will be fur nished by the government. Orders are also being placed for additional gun mountings.
 The navy department is distributing orders for several million one-pound pro- jectiles among three of nine manufact- urers who submitted bids. The steel rounds required will be furnished by the government at 9& cents per pound. After the placing of contracts for cargo l ships by the emergency fleet corporation, the steel mills will be called upon for about 500000 tons of steel plates and l shapes but deliveries will be extended over 12 to IS months. Some of the shops that are to fabricate this steel are in- I stalling new equipment.
 | The principal feature in structural steel | is the placing of contract for IS, GOO tons 1 Of steel shapes for sheet mill buildings for a Wheeling, w. Va, concern.
