Much indignation had been caused
IN Germany by the fact that the
Lusitania on her eastward voyage
from New York early in February,
1915, had raised the American flag
when nearing British waters.
Shortly after this incident had be-
come known was at the Winter
Garden, a large concert hall in Ber-
lin, with Grant Smith, first secretary
Of the embassy at Vienna, and mem
bers Of my staf. We naturally spoke
English among ourselves, a fact
which aroused the ire of a German
who had been drinking heavily and
who was seated in the next box. He
Immediately began to call out that
some one was speaking English. and
when told by one of the attendants
that 1t was the American ambassa-
dor, he Immediately called out in a
loud voice that Americans we're even
worse than English, and that the
Lusitania had been flying the Ameri-
can flag as protection in British
waters.
The audience, however, took sides
against him and told him to shut up.
As left the house at the close Of the
performance some Germans spoke to
me and apologized for his conduct
Manager Expressed Regret.
The next day the manager OF the
Winter Garden also called on me to
express his regret for the occurrence.
About q year afterward l was at
the races one day and saw this man
and asked him what he meant by max
ing such a noise at the Winter Gar
den. He Immediately spologized and
said that he had been drinking, and
hoped that I would forget the incl
dent. This was the only incident OF
ing all the time that I was in Ger
many.
But before and after the sinking
of the Lusitania the German foreign
office put forward all kinds OF pro-
posals with reference to American
ships in the war zone. On one af-
ternoon Zimmerman, who had a
number OF these proposals drafted in
German, showed them to me, and l
wrote down the English translation
for him to see how it would look in
English.
These proposals were about the
sailing from America of what might
be called certified ships, the ships
to be painted and striped in a dis
tinctive way, to come from certified
ports at certain certified times, Amer,
ica to agree that these ships should
carry no contraband whatever. All
these proposals were sternly reject
cd by the President.
The German answer, on February
I6, to our note of February 10 had
announced that Germany declined all
responsibility for what might hap
pen to neutral ships, and, in addition,
announced that mines would be al
lowed in waters surrounding Great
Britain and Ireland. This note also
contained one of Zimmermann's pro-
posed solutions, namely, that Ameri-

The. safety catches on two auto
matte pistols were released, and
fingers were on the triggers.
The man addressed was half way
up a ladder that leads to the top of
water tank. 1t was 1 a. m. and IL
looked like someone caught in the
act OF tampering with the water
supply.
Although the man paused he did
not attempt to come down until
Deputy Sheriff Eden B. Watts, who
had one OF the pistols. told the man
very calmly that he would shoot him
, down II he did not come down. The
man came down and submitted to a
thorough search for poison. None
was found on him. He gave no ex-
PLANTATION for his conduct, and was
allowed to depart from the camp
limits.
This happened down at the sew

SECRET SERVICE NEEDS
FINGER PRINT EXPERTS

The Secret Service bureaus are in
need OF Identification experts. The
war has made necessary an aug
mented staff in the civil and military
departments, and the authorities are
having great difficulty in filling the
positions. So scarce are competent
men that the Civil Service Commits
sion has only been able to file about
forty applications. To meet the de
mand. the Government is planning to
establish a school for the study of the
Bertillon and finger-print systems, as
well as card indexing.
The Government salary for these
positions is only $1,000 a year, while
experts in the Identification bureaus
of the larger cities often receive twice
this amount.

New hats are given to the newest men
at once Brain work seems to begin at
once New thoughts are tucked away
promptly under those new hats.
School Of the soldier becomes at once
something of charm TO them, like the
stories read to a childr from a new
book. The "draftees" get some Of It
out of a bOok-Infantry Drill Regula-
lions. The brand new second lieutenants
are as Joyful as the men in the ranks
when they begin to see things done just
right.
Discipline is being grasped as a star
fielder grasps a ball These men are go
ing patiently over and over every thing
that a soldier must know. They are
just taking the elementary work at a
jump because they know there is much
advanced training to be had to enable
them to meet and conquer the season
ed veterans of the Kaiser's legions.
Learning To March.
Men are learning to make 12O steps
to the minute over sand and dirt, and
they are getting the real swing in a
hurry
Go to It. boys" the carpenters yell
from the roof top between the bangs OF
hammers.
Boom, boom! Crack, crack, crack"
Sounds like artillery-the constant
blowing up of stumps, away OF to the
north, where the base hospital is be
ing built on ground cleared and
blasted for that purpose. Tons OF
dynamite are used every day. 1t
makes the war seem very near.
There is a fascination about the
sound. Men who have been here long
missed It when the shipments were
slow and when the State of Maryland
was wrangling over the question of
who should pay for the fireworks.
Uncle Sam is paying now, and he is
giving a good show. Maryland did
her bit along this line, but the army
engineers wanted more trees blown
up.
Hospital Is Large.
Out where the base hospital is go
ing up is a strangely beautiful coun-
try-a contrast to the other parts of
camp. Here are to be seen tall oak
trees and luxuriant wild growth, not
the poor scrub pines.
The hospital includes seventy-two
buildings, something to marvel at
IL everything else was not on such
a tremendous scale. The cantonment
is a wonderland of bigness. All the
figures seem fancifuL Forty, so, ana
