Won Nuber Letters Seized.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Federal authori-
ties investigating suspected methods of
communication between the United States
and Germany announced here today the
seizure of a bundle of letters including
communications which arriving from the
central powers. apparently were intended
to reach Alexander Won Nuber, formerly
Austrian consul general in New York. Won
Nuber left here after the government
investigated charges that he shipped re-
servists to Austria under fraudulent
passports in 1915.
How the letters now conf1scated were
to reach Won Nuber has not been dis
closed nor was his present whereabouts
announced. The letters were brought
here by sailors on Scandinavian
steamship and delivered to saloon
keeper in Hoboken. The plan, accord
ing to the Investigators, was for the
mail to be readdressed here so that it
would appear to be correspondence
from the United States.
The sailors admitted they were paid
to smuggle mail past the British CEN
sors and promised to testify for the
government if needed Some of the let
tiers were addressed to persons in. New
Zealand, Australia and India

think the idea held in the United
states that great quantities of mer-

sweden to the central powers may be
due. to the fact that at the request Of
the United States quantities Of cotton,

Sweden in 1914 and 1915. Sweden's

LincoIn's Famous Words Recalled.

1T saw, or thought I saw. a resem-
blance between the mental and moral
attitude of the two Presidents; that is
to say, with stern determination to
carry the thing through on the one side,
and on the other nc. hatred. no rancor
and ultimate good will through
ultimate good to the enemy as to the
friend: in short, the words almost came
to my lips. in charity to all and malice
to none.
IT was told by Senator Phelan that 1
had seen but one side of the President;
that there was a fighting side, when
the strong chin seemed to grow
suuarer and the quiet eyes to fash.
But that did not surprise or disturb my
impression. Those who love humanity
best have to fight the hardest"
The conversation. which lasted half
an hour, was cordial.
Mr.. OConnor gave an account to the
President of recent events in England
and Ireland. with which. he said. the
President seemed himself to be very
familiar. Mr. O'Cennor also conveyed
to the President the warm thanks Of
John Redmond and the Irish party for
the sympathy he had always shown to
the Irish people, and for the great ap-
peal In his messages for small nations
and the principle of nationality.
