 So, as if by common agreement as between the Germans and their enemies, certain means of communi- cation were taboo.
 One of the c1everest ways of send ing money, and this really affected nobody, since parcels were searched and all bread and cake stuffs were re- ligiously cut up, was this new hundred mark note would be folded and pressed under hydraulic pressure

attempted to cut the corners off cakes, and the plums, which were lit erally and fguratively ''plums," re- mained undetected
 Another way was to attach to parcel wooden labels, which were in reality layers Of bank notes of small denomination placed between two thin pieces of board hydraulically pressed and trimmed The label was then secured beyond any possibility of it's falling off, and since it was the only means by which the Germans

| First Lieutenant VIM. O'Leary re-
turned Friday night from France
where he saw 81 months service with
the U. 8. forces. When Mr.. O'Leary
enlisted and left Minot, Terry, the
intelligent bull mascot at the fire hall,
where Mr.. OLeary was driver for
years, mourned the departure of his
master and for weeks set up con-
| tinual whine, refusing the most tempt
iSE morsels. When Mr.. O'Leary re-
turned after nearly two years alb
sence, Terry nearly went wild with
joy and will hardly allow Mr.. o.
Leary out Of his sight.
-"You want me to tell you about
France" Mr.. O'Leary said to an indie
pendent representative. "Well,
could tell you whole lot about Gay
Paree. but won't The American
soldiers are being returned very rap
idly and there will be very few in
France month from now.
81 am surprised more young men
did not enlist for service with the
army Of occupation in Germany, after
hostilities ceased. They could have
a fine year abroad with an hours drill
in the morning, plenty Of fine eats
and nothing to do al day long but to
play games. Once month they get a
leave and can visit Italy, France Bel
GUM and the other countries"
Lieut.. O'Leary was an Instructor
most of the time he was in France.
He spent week at the front lines
just a year ago now, as a part of his
training and was at Vaux, near Chau.
teau Thierry at the time the big AM
erican drive started. The French had
twice attempted to take Hill 204, near
Vaux, but failed. The American
troops had advanced in the form OF a
horseshoe ahead Of the French and
the Germans tried to locate the Amer
lean front line. Their shells fell back
where the American line should have
been, consequently little damage was
done at that time For five days
there was a big artillery duel. Ger
man planes flew low over the Amer
lean lines, but our troops did not dare
to open up for fear of exposing their
line to the German artillery. Mr.. o.
Leary saw one German flyer stick his
head out of his machine and laugh.
Mr.. O'Leary has been recommend
ed for the position of Register of the
Minot landoffice to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of G.. B. Bierly.
He expects to take the position as
soon as the Senate ratifies the ap-
pOintment.

of treachery as related by Mr.. Witt

"a certain man who bought hotel
was sOrely troubled by an invasion Of
superrats. For six interminable weeks
the invasion continued. Then the pro-
prietor had an inspiration.
sFor six consecutive nights he set
out the most elaborate rat banquet
ever served. On the seventh night, how
ever, he mixed strychnine with the
courses and set a pail of water covered
with a screen outside his hotel.
"And on the morning after the sew

FIBS TO GET IN ARMY
Now Old Man Has to Fight 10
Get Out.
Stretches Truth for Chance to Serve
in the Army of Great Britain,
Peace Discioses.

LOndon-Incidents of men stretch
ing the truth considerably to get into
the British army when England needed
every man and then resorting virtually
to mutiny to get out after the armiS
tice was signed have been shown al
Folkestone during investigation of the
first rehabilitation demonstrations
there. After several hundred men had
declined to embark for France at the
end of their Christmas leave the mill
tary authorities began Investigating
each case separately.
One man who might be judged any
where from SO to so years of age ap-
peared before the examining officers.
"On what ground do you think you
should be released now?" he was
asked.
''Im more than Al years of age" he
said, relying upon the rule that men
of that age or more should be released
as soon as possible.
"But your army book shows you
enlisted fifteen months ago at the age
of So"
Il gave that as my age to get in,
sir. l am so years old now"
"You will have to prove that" came
quick reply, whereupon he turned
to middle-aged woman spectator, this
wife, who had anticipated the situa-
ton and produced a birth certificate.
He will be released at once and the
method by which he volunteered will
be conveniently forgotten.
During the last year of the war NO
miners were allowed to join the army.
Their ranks already had been depleted
until barely enough coal was being pro-
duced
Another remonstrator claimed he
should be released because he was a
miner. His record showed he repre-
sented himself as fshmonger in or
der to join the colors. When he proves
he is miner he will be released.

Of an organization to be known as the

This institution was financed by DR..
Seydler with an annual outlay equiva-

made a privy councillor and put in
the house of lords. His duty was to

I,ondon-Not the least of the many
ironies of the war has been the out
whiting in every direction of the much
Wanted and elaborate German spy
system by the English directorate OF
special intelligence, which long ago
won the admiration of its American
co-workers. Had England been less
Indifferent to the German spy system
which overran the country years ana

saved herself an immense amount OF
trouble: but what was done during
the war in circumyenting German
treachery and cunning has been amaz-
ing. 1t would seem to have been
gigantic failure And the explanation
of that failure appears to lie IN
very real understanding Of the Ger
man mind on the part OF the lnteln-
gence department. They realized that
the German has not yet been born VINO
can resist fact. Give German
one little fact to play with and 1t VIII
keep him happy for hours.
Therefore, the industrious German
agents were supplied with facts, ana
the English intelligence department
watched quietly while they played
with them. The facts were entirely
unimportant and sometimes they were
not facts at all, but they served their
purpose and revealed the identity or
still more members of the German
service.

There were occasions when they
served an even greater purpose, for
they were sent all the way to Ger
many, or were allowed to go, where
they helped to darken the counsels OF
the kaiser's adviser and set the Ger
man headquarters hard at work pro-
tecting themselves against peril
which. did not exist. Meanwhile the
British intelligence department went
cheerily on with their real business,
and prepared various little surprises
for the Hun, and delivered them In !
due course, such surprises, for In
stance, as the tanks, of which the Ger
mans knew nothing until they were
upon them. |
