Strange Turn of Affairs
When he first told me that the plan
of placing me in a convent disguised
as a priest had been abandoned, he ex-
planned it by saying that the cardinal
had issued orders to the priests TO help
no more fugitives, and 1 have since
wondered whether there was anything
in nv papers which had turned him
against me and led him to forsake me
after all he had promised to do for me.
For perhaps two hours l sat on that
staircase musing about the peculiar
turn in my affairs. when the front
door opened and Huyliger assembled the
stairs

belongings as l still had, O'Brien, ne

I looked through the little bunch
he handed me. 1t included my identi-
6cation disk. most of the papers 1
valued. and perhaps half of the photo

The strength of the near months both here

TOW soon will women sit in the
British Parliament? At present
it is not even clear whether
women are legally entitled to be M
P.'s, for although six million British
fair ones now possess the franchise,
the act of Parliament which recently
conferred it upon them is absolutely
silent as to whether the rights and
liberties of these new voters differ in
any respect from those of the or
binary ones. The act, in fact, gave
women votes but not seats.
Now, however, the whole question
OF whether women may sit in Parlia.
ment is to be put to test. The test
is being made by woman, Miss Nina
Boyle. She Is endeavoring to gel
nominated as candidate for Parlia
ment at Keighley, in Yorkshire, where
an election is pending.
1t is to fill the vacancy created by
the recent death of Sir Swire Smith
who sat in Parliament for Keighley
as Liberal. This constituency, which
is an industrial one, has for many
years been regarded as safe
Liberal seat.

-- His appearance on his arrival in
New York gave no indication Of his
having undergone harsh treatment
in his solitary confinement. In fact,
he looked to be in capital health
and spirits. Even his monocle was
in order. He had no doubt concealed
it somewhere about his person
through all his English experiences
and preserved it to counteract his
astigmatism by some efficient and
adroit German necromancy.
Immediately after his arrival
Tauscher was arrested.

and whenever the laws are brought
into question without exception it
throws the responsibility on the law
courts.
SIS this reply typical of the govern
ment's encouragement to women to
give of their best? Even now, when,
after nearly four years of war, it is
recognized that the war cannot be won
without the women, the same stupid
attitude is maintained. Nevertheless,
just as the government was bound to
reward women's services by giving the
vote, so also will they be compelled to
go step further and grant to women
equal rights and opportunities to those
enjoyed by men,"
Says Nation Is

Miss Boyle recently paid her first
visit to the House of Commons in the

formed of that historic assembly is not

explanations 1Or the failure OIL LnlS
plot were not what you might call
convincing, but, whatever the rea-
sons were, he found himself back
in New York on September "a.
He reported to Won Papen that he
was being watched by Secret Service
men, but the captain told him not to
worry-that the State Department
had given orders not to modest him.
Nevertheless, he was furnished with
false passport in the name OF
Bridgman Taylor, as he was then
known, and he escaped from the
country on the Italian steamer
Duca d'Aosta, which sailed October
for Genoa.
Returning to Berlin via Munich,
he reported to the government and
asked to be sent back to active
service. Notwithstanding his en-
treaties, they offered him his
choice of going to London for spe
cial work or being confined in the
fortress of Glatz.
Needless to say, he chose London.
He Ate Two Pounds
OF Paper Evidence
He arrived in London from Rot
terdam on November 4, registered as
Bridgman Taylor at a small hotel
and prepared to carry through his
instructions. But on the morning of
the second day he was recognized on
the street by a Russian spy from
Petrograd. Knowing that he would
be suspected" and that he could not
get away, he audaciously presented
himself at the British Foreign Of
flee and professed to be able to give
them special information about Zep-
pelins and submarines.
There were many discriminating
papers in his possession which he
feared to burn, so what do you think
he did? He ate them, and there
were two pounds of them he had to
chew and swallow. Notwithstanding,
he was arrested by the Naval Intelli-
gence Department on November 8,
, but, as he had meanwhile digested
his two pounds of papers, all they
found on him was leave of absence
from Raoul Madero.
The British sentenced him to six
months hard labor in Pentonville
prison, where he had to sew bags
and was kept in solitary confine-
ment. His beard grew, but he stuck
to his monocle. From Pentonville
he was transferred to Brixton
prison in June, 1915, and kept there
in solitary confinement until they
sent him to Reading.
In January, while he was in
Reading, Won Papen, who had mean
while been dismissed by the United
States, had his papers seized by the
British government, and the iden-
tity of "Bridgman Taylor" was dis
closed. That settled it. When the
British learned that he was really
the celebrated Won der Goltz-not
the Turkish pacha, of course, but
more dangerous-they put him in
Jail at Lewes and kept him there
until March 3, 1916, when they
transferred him to Bow Street po-
lice court. AS soon as they could
get his extradition papers made out,
and with his confession" in their
hands, they put him aboard ship in
charge of Sergeant Brust and sent
him to the United States.
A very interesting story of ad-
venture, is it not? Especially when
you try to imagine how he would
have been shot in the Tower-to
perhaps become as famous a few
hundred years hence as the Little
Princes" made away with by tn.
