ate situation. Yes. 7 decided that
Turkey would not sign separate
peace treaty with our enemies, if T
could stop her.
On the following day made all the
necessary arrangements to depart on
my mission. I had six men and eight
women servants and attendants to ac-
company me on my important mis-
sion. Four cars were attached to the
'Stamboul Special and I started like
a Royal parsonage of the highest rank
in our Empire. I took with me the
very best gowns of the fashionable
stores of Berlin could provide, and
our Foreign Office gave me all the
gold that was necessary. In short
there was no limit to what I could
spend If I thought it would bring us
results. "A million marks is not too
much if success could be attained"
was the last instruction I received
from one of the trusted attaches of
our Foreign Office at the station.
At the station I was met by group
of my fellow-Germans who had been
sent there by our Gracious Kaiser to
teach kultur to our civilized AL
lies. Herr Adolph Brunn was at that
time in charge of our Intelligence De-
partment at STEAMBOAT. He had been
there many years and knew the Ian
guage of the Turks, Arabs, Persians,
Armenians, Greeks and the Kurds as
we'll as he did his own German. Our
train had hardly stopped at the sta
ton when Herr Brunn boarded it and
presented to me his instructions say
ing that he was at my disposal. How
ever, the truth was, that instead of
that I was at his disposal, for I had
| not yet mapped out a plan as to how
I was to execute my assignment. He,
| like our Baron on Budich, wore a
Turkish fez and as good looking as he
was, nevertheless, he wore that funny

hat that would besmore becoming. His
answer was rather discouraging. He

show that he was a German. I was
| really sick at heart. It was tragic

hiding his proud nationality.

On the following day just exactly at
the stated hour Herr Brunn returned
with a gorgeous Turkish costume, ana
when I presented myself in it within
half an hour, he exclaimed that I
would pass as the most beautiful wom-
an in the Turkish Empire. How
ever, he did not yet know what use
I was about to make of this Turkish
costume.
I dismissed Herr Brunn with fur
Their instructions that he should report
that evening, and that afternoon I
ordered my motor and visited the of

into a truly Oriental room, where
there were four desks that were
daintily arranged. To my utter sur

and fair complexion greeted me with
extreme po1iteness. My thoughts,
however, for a, minute or two were dis
arranged when I found out that she
spoke English and French but no Ger

my mind that he was q thorough
reprobate. However, at this time he
is not the object of my record. I
broached the subject to him in all
frankness and found him in a gloomy
mood regarding the prospects. That
man Enver and his associates are
blackmailers I began to find out
that Enver and Talaad and the rest of
them had permitted this young ia
matte to preach his doctrine against
our kultur and against our cause in
the whole Empire SO that they could
eery so often blackmail our Treasury
to furnish them with more gold: and
they were never satisfied, they always
wanted more. They had even threat
ened to sign a peace treaty with our
enemies unless our government did
this and did that. However, ADD
u1-Rahnnan Bey had become so in
fluentia1 that he had now become a
constant source of danger even to En-
yer and his friends who are in charge
of the government. He was prepar-
ed to assist me in any way I thought
wise to destroy this man.
'Excellency, this man is dangerous
to our common cause, why not put
him under arrest?' asked suggestive

"Impossib1e!" declared Enver firm

populace suspected foul play and
threatened every member of the gov

so afraid that even in case this crazy

Stockholm. Sept 24.-The munich
pality of Lubbock has contributed TO-
900 marks to the German Baltic so
ciety. which has taken a stand for
the annexation by Germany of Rus
sia's Baltic provinces as territory for
German colonization in the east and
as a barrier against Russia. A meet
ing of the society was held some time
ago at which a sweeping program of
expansion in the east was developed.
The Lubbock Socialists have pro
tested repeatedly against the appro-
priation of public funds to support
the political propaganda of this or
ganiaztion, but were voted down by a
heavy majority. Senator Eeumann, OF
the Lubbock senate. in defending the
appropriation, declared that a con-
nection with Baltic territory was of
extraordinary Importance as regarded
Luebeck's economic position, and that
while he did not desire to speak of
annexations, the Baltic provinces
must be freed from the Russian yoke.

anyone to seriously consider his
vision of universal use of electricity
for cooking. In that year he ex-

Still the electric world, as a whole,
laughed at him, but he returned to

Supt Z. G. Hartwell, in addition TO
introducing this course for children,
thinks that Theodore Roosevelt, who
is to speak in Minneapolis at a
loyalty meeting Friday, should be
induced to come TO st. Paul to hold
monster loyalty meeting for the
elders.
IF any one can Offset the Nonpar-
tisan meeting held here the past few
days at the auditorium, Roosevelt
can, and therefore st. Paul citizens
should exert every effort to have him
appear at the auditorium here,

The course in patriotism will be
conducted in place of the opening
exercises heretofore held in the
morning, and will be given through
the medium OF poems, songs and
prose selections, directed toward
patriotism, citizenship and charac-

Organize To Put
Down Seditionists

With a view toward discouraging
repetition IN st. Paul of meetings
similar to that of the Nonpartisan
league last week, several residents
have organized an American Citizens
club. Its object, they say, will be
mainly to -epel seditious speakers
and rid st. Paul of all possible dis
loyalty.
Members are being solicited by
petition. Fifty men Saturday circu-
lated the lists and hundreds signed
them. A thanksgiving his name to
one of these petitions, agreed to sup
port the president in his war policy,
attend all meetings that promise to
be of a seditious nature, and assist IN
ousting from the hall the first speaker
that makes disloyal statements.
Each member of the club gives a
telephone number by which he can be
reached at any time and in case OF
need modified by wire.
The new club comes as direct re-
suit of the Nonpartisan league meet
ing its founders said.
