sorship could exclude the communication of
the German agent. The only remedy against
him was to close the mails and cables to
everybody Having realized this fact, the
German experts were not long in working
out the codes
"Adhering to the basic principle that the
message should bear no evidence of secret
meaning on its face, and that it should con-
form, in every respect, to the usual trade
or personal communication, the problem be-
fore these experts presented no great diff
Guilty.
THE new war code was quickly elaborated.
"One required little imagination to see
how such code could be amplifcd in in
Vulnerable directions; and there seems to
be no remedy against it. Skifuly carried
out, such method of communication could
not be prevented. unless, as the German
Secret Service maintained, the cables and
mails were entirely closed to the public.
The var has gone on for nearly four
years. During the whole of this time the
German government seems to have been in
no manner embarrassed in its methods of
communication with its secret agents; and
1t seems to have been fully and thoroughly
informed with respect to every movement
of its enemes.'

agree with his negative statements: 1t is

antiquated secret cipher wouldn't do in
this war. And
cit knew perfectly we'll that when the Eng
llsh government cut it off from communca-
tion with the world no tumble of words and
no arrangement of signs or figures could be
sent out. It, therefore, determined to aban-
don this secret form of communication and
to develop new code
"The prime factor in the new code must
be that the message should have no indica-
ton on its face of any hidden or secret
meaning On its face, it must be some form
OF the usual personal or business MESSAGE
"The problem was clean-cut
IF 1T were possible to devise system of
secret communication which could not be
distinguished from the common run of busi-
ness and personal messages, then it would
not be possible for the English government
to prevent the German War Office from com
muncating with the world, unless it should
entirely close the mails and cables. If the
mails and cables were open to the public
then the German messages could get
through.

Current War Poetry

She's the lass for me,
She is, yes she is, she's the lass
for me.
Laughter the rattle OF mess kit,
And then tired bodies relaxing
With heavy breathing,
Exhaustion after ten miles of cross
country.
The slow pacing of the guard,
And the sound of doors closing in distant
rooms.
But always over all,
Over all,
The thought of you
Lighting the candles in our room
And the bright reflection that the stars
make
In your lonely eyes
AS you lean across the window sill
10 gaze upon the starlit SUBMITS of the
distant mountains.

u RIGHT eagle of imperial Rome,

Shimm'ring aloft with silvery CLEAN,
Ever the legion's fondest boast!
Dread eagle Of imperial Rome,
Terror of plain and hill and fen,
Thy business to make peace on earth

Up, mighty eagle of the West,
Thine be higher, nobler task;
See how the nations small and weak
Wrlthe in the tyrant's iron grasp!

Cloud-cleaving as a lightning blast,
Smite the oppressor in his pride,
Set justice in the earth at last!

w T HEN from the tower, like some

The bell drops petals of the

That says "It's getting late";
For nothing else on earth care,
But wash my face and comb my hair,
And hurry out to meet him there,
My father at the gate.
It's--oh, how slow the hours go
How hard it is to wait!
Till, drawing near, his steps hear,
And up he grabs me, lifts me clear
Above the garden gate.
When curved and white, bugle bright,
The moon makes magic of the night,
A fairy trumpet blowing:
To me this seems the very best
To kiss good night and be undressed,
And held against my mothers breast,
Like snow outside that's blowing.
It's-oh, how fast the time goes past!
How quick the moments leap!
Till mother lays me down and sings
A song, and, dreaming many things,
She leaves me fast asleep.

Gun Crew, Thinking American
Naval Vessel German Sub
mariner Puts Shell Aboard,
Wounding Three Men

WASHINGTON, March 17.-One man
was BILLED and three wounded aboard
aboard an American destroyer recently
when the armed guard of an American
line steamer fired on the destroyer, mis-
taking it for a submarine.
court of inquiry has been ordered
by Admiral Sims to ascertain if the
liners action was unavoidable under the
circumstances.
The liner was under convoy. Wealth
CT conditions were bad and the visibility
low. Through the haze the armed guard
mistoCk one of the destroyers for sub
marine and opened fire. The aim was
such that one man on the destroyer was
killed and three others wounded.
Information concerning the affair has
been in the possession of the govern
ment for some time, Out it came to light
only today.
1t was generally regarded here as an
accidental case and there was tenden-
cy to believe that the armed guard was
unable to get a correct view because of
the weather conditions.
The court of inquiry will consider,
however. whether or not there was I'M
due nervousness on the part of the crew
and whether or not they could with
safety have investigated the object be-
fore them previous to firing.
No material damage was done to the
destroyer by the shot.

GEAR NICHOLAS CORONATION

I CHANGED to secure and read today
a wonderful account of the late cars
coronation, which took place in 1896
more than twenty-five years ago. when
he was only twenty-six years old--an
absolute monarch OF more than one hun
dred millions of Russians. From the
Arctic ocean to the Pacific, from the
to the shores of the Black sea, also
joining to Britain outposts, in the far
northwest, all the way to China in
Asia-this young man owned a terri
tory covering more than half of Eu-
rope He had diamonds and jewels ga
lore. His wealth was fabulous, and the
young czarina, the niece of the kaiser,
and granddaughter Of Queen Victoria,
was known as the handsomest woman
on any throne in two hemispheres.
He was crowned in Moscow, where all
czars were ever crowned, and Moscow
is 500 miles in a straight line from
Berlin The Russ-Siberian railway was
already built and in active service from
Moscow to Hardin, in Manchuria. 1t
was a thirteen-day journey by rail.
They were discussing railway
from Paris to Pel<in, which would also
cross Russia. The civilized world was
invited to attend the coronation of the
ruler, who owned more territory, more
wealth, more jewels and more subjects
than any other potentate in ancient or
modern history. The coronation was
the most costly incident ever known to
crowns or thrones. Everybody went
that had money to go on. Every gov
eminent that had ambassadors sent
them as representatives. Russia's eight
cen large provinces were there by the
tens OF thousands. 1t was stated at the
time that dull old Moscow had 100000
visitors to see the car crown himself.
He was at the top, and, like Napoleon
l, nobody was big enough to put the
crown Of jewels on his head. After he
crowned himself he put crown on the
czarina's head.
In the procession were the tall Co.'S

$4,000 horsemen with bayonets glitter

their breasts. Dukes and grand dukes,

his left and his mother on the right.
They were emblazoned with jewels.
During the ceremony they were cloaked
