To still further weaken American sea power and as an added exposi- tion of war horror, the conspiracy to sink the flagship in the Narrows and thus bottle the fleet in New York harbor was entered into by the gen. erals of imperial Germany's secret in- vading army.
 These conspiracies, in connection with the Lusitania tragedy, are very significant. To many they indicate that at that time imperial Germany had practically decided to fight the entire world and meant to strike America paralyzing blows.
 Up to the time of the illustration of the Hotel Ansonia plot, these enc my spies had great contempt for the United States secret service. To them this organization was incompetent and inexperienced. They suddenly woke up, however, when they began to feel hand against them as subtle as their own. Their plot to destroy the Hotel Ansonia was baked at the last moment and they then realized they were facing dangerous antag- onist = resourceful, shrewd and cou- rageous. So they changed their plans and Count von Bernstorff- became outwardly a fearful protestant of the kaiser's friendship for the United States.
 The work of Chief Flynn and the secret service in detecting the Hotel Ansonia conspiracy and the plot against the fleet, and the measures taken to frustrate them, were never made known publicly, nor even covert ly hinted at.

POCKET STOVES USED
 BY MEN IN TRENCHES

An individual heating plant for ev- cry man in the trenches may be the outcome of the tests being made of a plausible little invention at Northeast ern department headquarters, says the Boston Post. Col. Robert L. HOwzze, chief of staff to Grigadier General Johnston, has the invention under con- sideration and said yesterday that he was more sanguine than ever before over the utility of these miniature stoves.
 They come in two forms-one re- sembling an army canteen and as readily carried in the pocket, and an- other which has a large exterior of flat surface. Either can be carried in the pocket or haversack. It is claimed for them that they contain heat up- ward of thirty-six hours and that they may be recharged readily by the addi- tion of chemical substance no larger than a bean, which means that every soldier could easily carry several months supply of heat without bur- dening himself.
 Each heater has to be charged with a chemical fluid which is first heated by immersion in boiling water. The chemical action increases the heat to pronounced degree which endures steadily for 36 hours. To renew the heat, small bit of the chemical is dropped into the fluid.
 Interest in this tiny stove is consid- erable, for the need for something of the kind will soon be a crying one in the trenches. If it is practical it may be the means of saving countless lives lost every winter since the outbreak of the war through cold and pneumo mia.

CART AND HORSE

A certain man, being much vexed by politicians, made bold at length tc speak his mind.
 "You put the cart before the horse, he insisted. "No man ought to be- long to a party. The party is mere convenience, and it ought to belong to the man, like any other convent ence, to serve him as it may or give way to something else as it may not. ''
 But the politicians hadn't been in the business all these years for Eoth- ing. They were by no means to be talked out of a good thing. "We con front a condition and not a theory" they made answer. ''The horse is so used to working that way he doesn't know there's any other."-New York Post.

ROUNDING UP MAVERICKS

R. Nichols, of Bouse, arrived il Parker Monday, having taken the con. tract to round up all the stray cattle on the reservation belonging to the Parker Cattle company. These mav- ericks inhabit the jungles on the banks of the Colorado river principal ly, and are as wild and fleet-footed as deer, having never been in cap tivity. When roped or cornered they will fight with the fierceness of an lion and the tenacity of a bulldog, and the task of capturing and subduing them is not one that would in the natural order of things appeal to the fancies of the tender Post.

DESTRUCTION OF .SEAPOWERP PLAN
 OFGERMAN SPIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The pro- duction of the serial photo drama, ''The Eagles Eye" in which William J. Flynn, the recently retired chief of the United States secret service, ex- poses the plots of the kaiser's spy army in America during the past three years and shows the perils which now menace the people of this country, was released recently.
 The first three episodes were pre- sented at the Strand theater in New York.
 The first episode reveals the ma chinations of Count von Bernstorff, Captains won Papen and Boy-Ed and Dr. Albert, the leaders of the imperial German governments spy system in this country at that time, which con- tributed much to the success of the plan of the imperial German naval staff to sink the Lusitania.
 It also shows the famous Lusitania medal. This tragic souvenir, designed to commemorate the sinking of the great liner, bearing the date of May 5, 1915, was struck off and distribut ed in Berlin several days before the vessel was sunk.
 It had been planned to torpedo her on May 5, but as she was unexpected ly two days late in leaving New York, she did not reach the point off Ireland where submarines lay in wait for her till May T. The German naval staff was so sure it's plan to sink the Lusi- tania was certain of success the great victory" was celebrated ahead of the actual event.
 The demand for war on Germany over the Lusitania sinking immedi- ately became so pronounced that her representatives here ex- pected it. In fact, they evidently had anticipated such a situation before the ship was sunk and had laid their plans to start a reign of terror in America as a diversion and an ap- palling example of imperial Ger war power.
 One of these plots was to blow up the Hotel Ansonia in New York City on the night of the fleet review ball, which took place Friday, May II, 1915. Over eight hundred of Ameri- ca's leading naval officers would be present. Their deaths would practi cally cripple a large part of the United States navy.

SACRED SCARABS

The sacred scarab, or beetle, of Egypt was the tumble insect" which forms bits of manure into a ball for laying its eggs in. Two individuals, male or female, always roll the ball together, and they do this merely for the purpose of conveying it to safe place and hiding it. This insect was regarded as a symbol of the Creator among the Hindus, from whom the idea passed into Egypt. The ball was imagined to represent the world be- cause it was round and was supposed to be rolled all day from sunrise to sunset.
