1.-THE only thing we could possibly do
was TO identify the package One day
when they were about to close the
package up this girl under instruc
tions-and / may say incidentally she
! is now back at work getting her SIG
week-sat on this box eating her lunch.
Nearly everybody else had gone, but
Won Papen, rather debonair and fond
Of ladies', wandered In and sat on the
packing box and asked If he could
share her lunch with her. She said
certainly. and while they were sharing
the sandwiches he made some senti-
mental advances and she In rather a
dreamy way took out large red pencil
and drew two big red hearts ON this
packing case. 1t was Captain Won Pa
pen himself who put an arrow through
them. And, ladies and gentlemen,
when the ship Austrias III reached Fail
mouth they picked that package out OF
the hold from about hundred and IF
ty others and identified it by the two
big red hearts. And yet they say there
are no brilliant people but the Ger

Another incident. the loss of a port
an Austrian official, which contained
papers relating to Ambassador Dunn
ba's efforts to incite labor troubles in
the United States, created quite a stir
among the diplomats. Mr.. Rathom told
of how a Journal reporter got the pa
pers as the result of which Dumba was
sent back to Austria by the president.
Zone Of the Journal reporters had
been shadowing Doctor Albert In New
York, but for months nothing seemed |
wrong. One day he went into leather |
goods store, where he ordered a port
folio and gave the salesman instruc-
lions to put his initials on it. The re-
porter. as soon as Albert had gone out, |
walked up to the salesman and ordered |
another portfolio OF the same kind, but
with no Initials, saying he would
rather first see how the other gentle
back and saw the initials he said he
didn't like them and departed to go to
another shop and have the same mi
tials put on his portfolio. His work
was becoming less tiresome and less
frultless than 1t had been.
"A day or two later Albert, carry
ing the new portfolio, was followed
from the front of his apartments by
the Journal man. Albert boarded an
elevated train. He placed his bag con-
tanning papers on the seat beside him.
Suddenly he was stirred by fight in
the front of the car. AS he stood up
TO see what the trouble was, as did
nearly everybody else In the car, the
portfolios were changed. This hap
pened on a Saturday morning. Albert,
In a statement later, said that he dis
covered the trick the same day, but
we know for fact that he did not dis
cover the difference until Monday
Needless to say, the men who
were fighting on the street car were
also In the employ of the Journal
at was through the Journal, Mr..
Rathom said, that a great quantity of
important papers were secured from
Wolf Won Igel. These papers revealed
the Easement plot for the Irish upris-
ng. When the papers were taken, Mr..
Rathom said, in illustrating his point
hat there is certain amount of stu
)idity in all German diplomatists, Won
3ernstorff made application TO the
'tate department to have them re-
urned. He was told that any paper he ,
