Vague hints have been heard during
the past two years that at the time
the Lusitania. was sunk by a German
submarine a souvenir medal COM
memorative of that awful tragedy was
struck off and distributed in Berlin.
The. first intimation of this came in a
confidential statement mad by a for
eign diplomat who visited this coun-
try.
No positive information could be
obtained, however, till William j.
Flynn, the recently retired chief of
the United States secret service. sue
ceeded in securing one Of these medals
and learned all the circumstances on
nected with it. The illustrations shown
herewith are from the medal now in
Chief Flynn's possession.
He recently furnished a story to The
Whartons exposing the imperial Ger
man p plots in America. They are
producing 1t as a serial ~photodrama
in twenty episodes under the title Of
1.-The Eagles Eye" In the first cpl
sode of this serial Chief Flynn shows

PACKERS HOMES
ARE INSPECTED
Attorneys Agree That Build
ings are Uninhabitable,
it is Said.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-First hand in
formation Of living conditions in, the
district known as back Of the yards"
where many packing house employees
live, was gained today by Federal
Judge. Samuel Alschuler, arbitrator
in the wage controversy between the
packers and the laborers, when he
personally made a trip to the district
and inspected the homes. He was ac-
companied only by representatives Of
the packers and of the employees.
Statements made after the trip by
Carl Meyer, representing the packers,
and Frank Walsh. representing the
employees. show that for the first time
since the investigation was started,
attorneys on both sides agree on some
thing. Both men declared that buird-
ings in which the laborers lived are
practically uninhabitable and that the
fire danger was so great that remedial
action should be taken at once
Mr.. Meyer was inclined to blame
the conditions on the city. declaring it
should force the landlords to tear
down the old buildings or not allow
them to be rented while Mr.. Walsh
seemed to think the fault lay with the
packers.
