often visited a young lady at a
New Jersey town and was more
than friendly to her. He was in
fact much fascinated and wanted to
marry her. He was in the habit Of
writing her long and frequent let

He Boosted of
His Terribleness
I got to see some Of his letters
to this lady. In them he never lost
chance to throw glamour around
the mysterious and perilous nature
of his work for Germany. In some
Of them he gave full rein to his
vindictiveness toward the United
States and did not scruple about
referring to President Wilson and
his family in such a scurrilous man
ner that he deserved all that came
to him eventually just for that
alone. And he boasted Of Destroy
ing munition plants in the United
States and of carrying on militant
work for the embassy.
In his conversations with his in
tended bride. he told of a man with
whom he was in communication, To-
Gated at II Battery Place, who he
said was in charge of the building
of submarine bases on the Atlantic
Coast, one of which was in the vi
cinity of Newport.
He also boasted of his having a
relative who was employed in the
transatlantic service and carrying
messages as German spy. Through
this man, who was quite old, COM
munication with Germany was kept
open via Spain and other neutral
countries. Won Hoegen said he was
in the habit of meeting him secretl,

take them to the German Embassy

been. / agreed in advance to see
that he was we'll recompensed if he
had anything to disclose that was
authentic and worth anything.
Well, he made up a synopsis that
was simply beautiful; in effect, that
he had served in Mexico as major
under Raoul Madero, brother of the
murdered President, and was really
away from the army on leave of alb
sence.
His story was that in June, 1913,
while serving in the army of Car
rama, in Chihuahua, he was ar
rested at the instigation of "Consul
Kluch" and ordered to be shot by
General Mercado. Three times he
was taken out and put up against
a blank wall, and then brought
back. In this serious situation, he
somehow got word to General Chao,
the commander of the Villa forces,
and Chao notified General Mercado
that he would take chihuahua and
hang him (Mercado) in the public
square if he hurt Won der Goltz.
So he was not shot after all. On
September Kluch got orders to
have him released, and he was or
dered to go to Los Angeles.
While he was in Los Angeles an
attempt was made on his life, and
he was locked up for firing a re-
volver in the street. He was afraid
to make much fuss about It, because
he regarded his position in the
country as perilous. The attempt
on his life and and his trouble in
Chihuahua he attributes to the work
of the German government.
But he went back again to Car
ranza's army and took a soldiers
part in the battles of Torreon,
Zacatecas, San Pedro, etc. Just be-
fore the outbreak of the European
war Consul Kluch sent for him
again. He apologized for the
wrong he had done him and in
structed him to go to Washington
and report to Captain Won Papen,
the military attache of the German
Embassy.
Said Won Papen Asked
Him to Dynamite Canal
He had a number of conferences
with Won Papen, met him at the
consulate in Baltimore, at the Ger
man Club and other places. At this
time number Of plots were being
organized against Canada, some of
which Won Bernstorff did not think
we'll of, but which Won Papen and
Boy-Ed advocated.
Won Papen wanted him to act as
his "go-between," to blow up
bridges, grain elevators, railroad
stations and the Welland Canal.
The Welland Canal, by the way, is
about twenty-six miles long. 1t is
used to carry large ships around
Niagara Falls and is vital link
in the transportation facilities Of
/ Canada. 1t consists of twenty-six
locks, which raise the water over
three hundred feet, and cost over
$25, 100000.
He was directed by the captain.
to get the dynamite from Captain
Tauscher, who gave him letter
for three hundred pounds to the du
Pont people. He was also supplied
by the skipper of a liner in Balti-
more with an officer and several
men to assist him. He brought the
dynamite to Niagara and stored it
at Biettner's restaurant. Captain
Tauscher also sold him pistols. Won
Papen gave him considerable
money and he paid the men who
helped him from So to SIS a day

What Actually
Happened to Him

What actually happened to Won
der Goltz, in brief, was this: He
came to the United States in 1912,
after having been released from
arrest in Germany, where he hao
been brought by extradition from
Belgium for having forged lease.
His real name is Carl Wachendorf.
He joined the United States Army,
but deserted in 1913 and went to
Mexico.
In Mexico he served with Raoul
Madero, was captain Or major, but
at the outbreak of the European
war he came back to the United
States and took the name of Bridg-
man Taylor.
Won Papen employed him to blow
up the Welland Canal and gave him
money for the work, so he hired a
lot of "bums" and went to the bor-
der. He did not pay them as much
as they wanted, and they gave him
an awful thrashing and so terrified
him that he ran away.
He got safely to Europe and tried

skill they have restored to the fight
ing strength OF the allied nations
each year since tho beginning ~ the
war whole divisions OF men, who In
other wars would have died of their
wounds or would have been crippled
for life.
The recent gigantic battles, as the,
result Of which more wounded mon
than ever before have received sur
gical treatment within n short space
of time. have demonstrated the i'm
mense strides made not only IN sur.

wounded from the battle fields and
transporting them to hospitals. So
effective IL the cooperation between
surgeons and physicians at the front
and those at the hospitals in the
rear that an immensely larger pro-
portion of the wounded recover than
was the case at the beginning of the
war
Men whose legs or arms have been
fractured by shells now are restored
to their regiments in a minimum OF
time. This IN due mostly to the fact
that they receive prompt antiseptic
treatment and surgical attention
which prevents blood poisoning and
the stlffening of articulation. Their
recovery Is rapid In the hospitals
behind the lines where they can be
treated under comfortable conditions
far from the ve-wraCking sound

Soldiers have been inspired with
