This is what happened.
Wreckage was washed up one morn
ing on the Danish coast It apparently
was from a British warship. Amid the
svreckage the first to flnd the debris dis
covered a bundle OF papers, apparently
from the captains cabin. They were
charred. oll-stained, water-soaked.
But The finder, lookins them over
read OF a new and wonderful subma-
rine barrage In the Straits Of Dover
There were details Of contact mines
and electrically operated devices calcu-
lated to be lmpregnable.
The finder showed German sympa-
ihies by getting in touch with German
authorities and sold the papers for S5i,-
100.
The Hun ships thereafter kept away
from the Straits OF Dover and went
around the north OF Scotland.
But the wreckage, the charred papers
the pro-German finder. all were plant.
There was no such barrage as was de-
scibed and the Germans were misled
BY a bluff.

Brownsville landlord, who ap-
piled in the New Jersey avenue
court for half a dozen warrants
