Emphasizes Our PeriIS.

1t gives new credence to persistent
reports of submarine bases on Next
can territory in the Gulf of Mexico;
1t takes c%ognizance of a fact long rec
ognized by American army chiefs,
that If Japan ever undertook to in
wade the United States it probably
would be through Mexico, owe the
border and into the Mississippi valley
to split the country in two.
1t recalls that Count o Bernstorff
when handed his passports was very
reluctant to return to Germany, but
expressed a preference for asylum In
Cuba.
1t gives a new explanation to the
repeated arrests on the border of men
charged by American military authori-
ties with being German intelligence
agents.
Last of all, 1t seems to show a con-
nection with General Carranza's re-
cent proposal to neutrals that exports
of food and munitions to the entente
allies be cut off, and an intimation
that he might stop the supply of oil,
so vital to the British navy, which Is
aynorted from the TamnicO fields.

The document supplies the missing
link to many separate chains of cir
cumstances, which until now have
seemed to lead to no definite point.
1t sheds new light upon the frequent
ly reported but indefinable movements
Of the Mexican government to couple
its situation with the friction between
the United States aud Japan.
1t adds another chapter to the cele-
brated report of Jules CambOn, French
ambassador in Berlin before the war,
of Germany's worldwide plans for stir
ring strife Oh every continent where
they might aid her in the struggle for
world domination which she dreamed
was close at hand.
1t adds a climax to the operations Of
Count Won Bernstorff and the German
embassy in this country, which have
been colored with passport frauds
charges of dynamite plots and intrigue,
the full extent of which never has beer

The attention of the Riddles who are
using Court street hill for a coasting
place is called to the fact that this hill
was not in the list of coasting places
recently published in the Journal and
cannot be used for that purpose. City
Marshal Tyler says that he does not
wish to deprive the youngsters of any
pleasure but that they must not coast
on that hill The hill is closed to tray
ell by vehicles but pedestrians use it a
great. deal, and the kids for their own
convenience have piled snow to the
depth of about a foot on the walk
which crosses the hill to the top of the
stairs leading down to the railroad
tracks, and trodden the snow down
hard SO that it constitutes a nuisance,
inasmuch as it makes bad footing on
the walk and also makes the stairs
slippery from the snow that is track
ed down upon them.

1t would seem to be pretty hard to be
in a strange land with no, money in
ones pocket, no knowledge Of the Ian
guage Of that land, and with INSULT
Gent clothing to stand the rigors Of
winter weather, but that is the predic-
an1ent in which three boys, none of
them over 20 years of age. found them
selves for the past three days in this
city. The police authorities. however.
came to their assistance and on yes
to-day gave them temporary relief by
committing them to Jail for a period of
l. days. .
The three reached Augusta last Sat
urday night and secured lodgings at
the police station, claiming to have
come out of the woods where they had
been working in a lumber camp They
are Norwegians and gave their names
as Neil Olsen, Kristoffer Olsen and
Trrgal Jorgenson. the first two boys
saying that their homes were in Chris
tiania and the last in Bergen One Of
the trio could speak some English but
to the other two the language was al
most as blind as Greek. The boys were
much too thinly clad for comfort in
Maine winter climate and not one of
them had cent in his pocket
The boys were allowed to leave the
police station Sunday morning and
again on Monday morning, but they
came back each time, and on yester-
Cay morning City Marshal Tyler in
order to felp them as much as possible,
had them arraigned before the munich
pal court on the charge of vagrancy
on which they We're committed to Jail
for the time specified above. The boys
were not averse to the disposition Of
their case and expressed their inten-
ton of communicating by letter with
the Norwegian consul at New York, to
sec if they could not secure his assist
anoe in getting them back to their
lone land.
