ment tonight:
Among the many absurd and
vicious rumors which are being put

through pro-German influences, is
one that the government proposes to
conhscate the money on deposit in
the banks.
"The absurdity of the statement is
obvious on its face, but ] have re-
ceived letters from several parts OF the
country which indicate that these
rumors are being circulated for an evil
purpose. Of course. these rumors are
wholly without foundation. In fact, the

cate the money of depositors in

EDITORIAL NOTE. William Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItzendOrff,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessOr of Its Innermost
secrets.
The English ''Who's Who" says of
him; she 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:
Sew 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 any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vnst store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeltzendOrff became an in
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and it was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the HOhenzOllerns-that
the demOcracies of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two dOmi-
nant members of the autOcracy they are
now arrayed against.
