EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Lee
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won Heltzendorf
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
hint "He 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
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won Heltzendorff became an in
Innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war, he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and II was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make pubic 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.

A colored man, working near the
outskirts of the city, went to n nearby
grocery at the noon hour and bought 8
cents worth of crackers for his lunch.
As he started to leave the store he no.

contained samples of axle grease.
"Say. mister" he called to the grocer,
whats these little boxes of cheese
worth?" "Oh," says the grocer. those
are just advertising samples. Help
yourself to one if you like" The next
day he appeared at the store again
and was asked by the groceryman how
he liked his lunch of yesterday.

l, as his imperial highness personal
adjutant, had been travelling all day
with him from Cologne to Berlin. We
had done tour Of military inspec-
tons in Westphalia, and, as usual,
"Willie's" conduct had not been exact
~ exemplary.
On the night in question much had
happened. The emperor had, Il month
before, returned from a visit to Eng
land, where he had been engaged by
speeches and handshakes, public and
private, blowing a narcotic dust in the
nostrils of your dear but too cOnfding
nation.

prince, as he suddenly entered the
room where l was busy attending to Il
pile of papers. do get through all
those letters and things. Burn them
all if you can. What do they mat
ter?"
MANY of them are matters of grave
Importance. Here, for instance, is a
report of the chief of military intel
ligence in Washington"
"Oh, old Friesch! Tear it up! He
is but an old fossil at best. And yet,
Heltzendorff, he is designed to be of
considerable use" he added. His
majesty told me tonight that after his
visit to England he has conceived the
idea to establish an official movement
he Of
tons between Britain and Germany.
The dear British are always ready to
receive such movements with open
arms. At Carlton House terrace they
strongly indOrse the emperor's ideas,
and he tells me that the movement
should first arise in commercial and
shipping circles. Herr Balm will gen
crate the idea in his offices in London
and the various British ports, while
his majesty has Won Gessler. the ex-
ambassador at Washington, in view
as the man to bring forth the sugges-
ton publicly. Indeed, tonight from the
Wilhelmstrasse there has been sent a
message to his schloSs on the Mosel
commanding him to consult with his
majesty Won Bernstorff took his place
at Washington few months ago"
But Won Gessler is an inveterate
enemy of Britain" l exclaimed in sur
prise, still seated at my table.
1.-THE world does not know that. The
whole scheme is based upon Britain S
ignorance of our intentions. We bring
Won Gessler forward as the dear, good,
