CZERNIN EXPLAINS
 HIS FAMOUS NOTE
Former Austrian Minister Says It Was Given to ErZberScr Without
 His Knowledge.

Copenhagen, July 2S.-A dispatch from Vienna says that Count Czernin, former AuStro- Hungarian foreign minister, has published a statement that his report to Emperor Charles under date of April 12, 1917, was handed to Matthias Erzberger without his knowledge by certain irresponsi- ble persons.
 Herr Erzberger him self, Count Czernon says, acted in good faith and declares the handing over of the re- port was a link in the chain of minor intrigues which caused him to resign.
 Count Czernin asserts he will soon publish book clearing up these matters

real ESTATE men

A few days ago the Omaha Real
Estate board announced a subscrip-

Forest association in carrying out
its plans for obtaining more land in
the vicinity of Child's Point, thus
building up a great forest reserve

While the contributions of the
real estate members will be made
by individuals, the total will be
credited to the board.
The movement toward making
the forest reserve a fact was given
additional impetus yesterday
when it was announced that Mrs.
George Joslyn, as trustee for the
association, had purchased 80 acres
of the Charles Smith tract, lying
south of the land already acquired.
This land had been on the market
for some time and to prevent it
passing into the possession of spec
ulators, it was bought by Mrs. JOS
lyn, who will hold it until such time
as the Forest association is in a
position to take it off her hands.
The purchase of the Smith tract
gives the Fontenelle Forest associa-
ton the title to l,s0O acres of land
in the vicinity of Child's Point. Most
of it is heavily wooded and cut up
by ravines and hills, making It
ideal for the purpose for which it
is intended.
To make the area of the reserve
complete and contain $500 acres,
two more tracts are desired. One
contains 800 and the other 700 acres.
Both are available and tentative op-
tons on them have been taken by

Then again in business he was al.
ways convinced that somebody else
was after his bone-which was true
enough good deal OF the time; bu,
not all the time. The consequence
of that was that the old man was
the most cautious and secret worker
i'll the world of finance; and that had
a lot to do with his success, too
= But that doesn't amount to
being a lunatic, Mr.. Trent; not by a
long way. You ask me if Mander-
son was losing his mind before he
died. l say l believe he was just
worn out with worrying over some
thing, and was losing his nerve"
Trent smoked thoughtfully. He
wondered how much Mr.. Bunner
knew of the domestic difficulty in
his chiefs household, and decided to
put out a feeler. Il understand that
he had trouble with his wife"
Sure" replied Mr.. Bunner. But
do you suppose thing like that was
going to upset. Sig Henderson that
way? No, sir! He was sight too
big a man to be all broken up by
any worry of that kind"
Trent looked half-incredulously
into the eyes of the young man. But
behind all their shrewdness and in
tensity he saw a massive innocence.
Mr.. Bunner really believed a seri-
Gus breach between husband and
wife to be a minor source of trouble
for a big man.
What was the trouble between
them?" Trent inquired.
"You can search me-" Mr.. Bunner
replied briefly. He pulled at his
cigar. "Marlowe and l have often
talked about it, and we could never
make out solution. Il had a notion
at first" said Mr.. Bunner in
lower voice, leaning forward, that
the old man was disappointed and
vexed because he had expected
child; but Marlowe told me that the
disappointment on that score was
the other way around, likely as not.

Mr.. Bunner misunderstood his
glance. Don't you think I'm giving
a man away, Mr.. Trent" he said.
"Marlowe isn't that kind. Celestine
just took fancy to him because he
talks French like a native, and she
would always be holding him up for
a gossip. French servants are quite
unlike English that way. And serv-

Peculiarities Of the Murdered Man

The American nodded.

had considered the idea of there be.
ing something wrong with his mind

That is the first thought that your
account suggests to me. Besides,
it is what is always happening to
your big business men in America
isn't it? That is the impression one
gets from the newspapers"
Don't let them slip you any of
that bunk" said Mr.. Bunner earn
estly. IT'S only the ones who have
got rich too quick, and can't make
good, who 60 crazy. Think of all
our really big men-the men any
where near Manderson's size did
you ever hear of any one of them
losing his senses? They don't do it
believe me. l know they say every
man has his loco point" Mr.. Bun
ner added reflectively, "but that
doesn't mean genuine, sure-enough
craziness; it just means some per-
sonal eccentricity in a men y
like hating cats y or my
own weakness of not being able to
touch any kind of fish-food."
"Well, what was Manderson?
"He was full of them--the old
man. There was his objection to all
the unnecessary fuss and luxury that
wealthy people don't kick at much,
as a general rule. He didn't have
any use for expensive trifles and
ornaments. He wouldn't have any
body do little things for him; he
hated to have servants tag around
after him unless he wanted them.
And although Henderson was as
careful about his clothes as any man
I ever knew, and his shoes-well,
sir, the amount of money he spent
on shoes was sinful-in spite Of that,
I tell you, he never had a valet. He
never liked to have anybody touch
him. All his life nobody ever
shaved him."
Owe heard, something of that
Trent remarked. "Why was it, do
yor think?"
WELL" Mr.. Bunner answered
slowly, ut was the Henderson habit

of general suspicion and jealousy.

were just the same = Like
